And Magie, the PrintiT Expert, said to Palmer, the editor: "Entreat rue not to leave thee, nor return from following after thee." Tub Sun i agitated by the candidacy of Hon.VT. J. Allen for Congress. If Joshua is nominated he will take the scalp of the Republican nominee, without difficulty. Thk Massac Journal, a Republican paper, says that Governor Cullora made a good se lection when he appointed Mr. W. P. Bru ner, of Metropolis, one of the trustees of the Southern Illinois Insane Asylum. The Journal is right. Mr. Bruner is a good Democrat, and (it follows as a consequence) a good man. Whes good old Gen. Shields wanted a seat in Congress to which he had been elected, the Republicans said : Get out ; " but when the good old man didn't want the doorkeepership of the House, all the Repub licans said : "The old man should 1 al-, lowed to get Into this office." And when the Democrats gave the place to another man, the Republicans cried: "This is a shame l-1 These Republicans are Greeks tearing gift. They should be watched. They are not to le trusted. Hox. Tuomas HorsE, of Chicago, has written a letter to Gov. John M. Palmer, congratulating that gentleman on his repu diation of the financial planks of the Demo cratic Suite platform. Jlr. Thomas Hoyne is nothing if not vigorous. He orders his meals in the voice of the heavy man of the stage, and walks the mud-covered streets of Chicago with the appalling gait of a Forrest in high tragedy. We need not say, after t ailing attention to this Hoynie character istic, that, in his letter to Gov. Palmer, Mr. Hoyne is ranty. He inflates his lungs and thunders in utterance. With all his loud ness, however, he gives usbut little sul wtancc in his rantings. With fierceness of aspect he struts and shouto "lie who dare thec bout displace. Must meet Bombastc fare to face;" and, Buying this, he shuffles off the stage scowling, and a laugh follows him. THE PROPOSED INVESTIGATION. , At last the Democrat of the lower house of Congress have determined to make an investigation into the presidential election frauds. Resolutions, providing for the ap pointment of a committee of investigation, have been introduced, and will lie adopted lH'foro adjournment. There arc many Democrats' who U-lieve thut the presidential election frauds should not be inquired into. They would rather endure the sneers of the robbers who have stolen the presidency than create agitation by exposing the Methods by which the rob-lx-rs proceeded in the accomplishment of their outrageous crime. They point to the conduct of President Hayes, and say: "We arc pleased with him; let him alone." We do not nyinputhisu with these easy-going Democrats. Their disposition to wink at the rascality of tho Republicans is the uroduct of loose political morals, or else of a spirit of cowardice, hviry Democrat in the land, and two-thirds of the Republicans, believe that rascality gave Florida and Louisiana to Mr, Haye, and not a few people believe that the pious fraud now in the presidential chair, in conspiracy with men like Sherman and Garfield, were parties to tho crime If Uils is true, an investigation will show it if not true, that fact will be made to appear, Truth can in no manner suffer by the pro posed Investigation. That liny Democrat should object to it, is therefore a matter 'of surprise. The opposition of the' JP -publicans was to have been expected. They, lie ing the rogues, have a right to denounce the law that is aUiut to hang them. SOLDIERS NEED NOT APPLY. The gentleman who wrote to Tub Bcl irns the letter from Chicago published in another column, is a Republican of the in nocent kind. He is, wo have no doubt, given to the Republican pastime of extoll ing the soldiers of the Republic, and has educated himself to Itflieve that the leaders of his parry really desire to re ward the valor of the men who saved the Union. This weakness this unsophisti cated softness, we may say has led our Republican correspondent into the belief that the Republican State convention will nominate General J. C. Smith for State Treasurer. General Smith was, as our re publican correspondent says, one of the flag-defenders of the late war, and now suffers from wounds received in that great struggle. But tliis fact gives to him no strength with the Republicans of Illinois. They pay soldiers with a cheap currency words. They praise them, and give the offices to the men who stayed at home. Of a'l the gentlemen anxious to obtain the Republican nomination for the State Treasurership, General Smith is the only one who was a soldier. Mr. Ridgway, the Republican machine's man, is an estimable gentleman. He is as clean as a new pin in person and character. He shakes your hand with charming abili ty. He wins you by saying: "Yes? in the interrogative tone, with a lingering upon the "sn that is original and unique. He is also strong in prayer, but dashed with worldliness enough to make him inoffensive to the respectable sinner; of meek deport ment, he walks with the careful step that a man would employ walking in a hennery floored with eggs; a good friend of his friends, he always gives quid pro quo, being careful to not bankrupt himself by extra vagantly giving more that the bargain calls for; a strong Republican, he has learned of late years how to not hate all Democrats, and within a short time has ac tually edu cated himself to like a few of them in a mild manner; a Gold Bug. he has a liberal hand when the occasion demands. He is a good citizen, a good man, a good fellow, a good politician, and he is the coming man of the Republicans for State Treasuier. He was not a soldier; but he sympathized with all the boys who were in the field. He cheered them on to the battle, and remained at home making money turning his dollars over and over, doubling them every few months. 3Ir. Hamburger, the next man to Mr. Ridgway in the favor of the managing men of the Republican party, is a splendid specimen of the Republican office-seeker. He is the clerk of the Supreme Court for the Middle Grand Division, and is much esteemed by the judges, all of whom he has kindly admitted to his friend ship. He is a self-made man, and is a bundle of nervous energy. He is now lxiuncing about the State like an In dia rubber ball; and as he bounces he talks talks about himself talks incessantly buzzes like a hive of bees, a bij Idveof loud-buzzing tacs. He is not as polished as Mr. Ridgway, but the connois seur of personal beauty would, in our opin ion, give to him the preference. He would not quite, but he would almost, answer the description given by Hamlet of the dead royalty of Denmark, when he said : "See, what a pace wa seated on hi brow; Hyperion curl; the front of Jove himself: An eye like Mar, to threaten and command; A nation like the herald Mercury New-lighted on a heaven-kiting hill ; A combination and a form, Indeed, Where every god did ocm to set hi seal, To jrivo the world assurance of a man. Tbl- is a little more than Mr. Hamburger, but it is so close a portrait that every one who knows our friend will not recognizehimby the picture. In short, Mr. Hamburger is a more comely man than Mr. Ridgway, and has al so other superior claims upon the party. But it is not true, as he boasts, that his nomina tion would induce ull the Israelites of Illi nois to vote the Republican ticket. The voters of that faitlt are not so clanitm. They will not vote for u man simply because he is of their nationality and religion. He is lioustful when he makes tho assertion that he can control their ballots. But there may 1e some foundation to tho report thut Col. Bob Ingersoll, the anti-Christian, is anxious to have Mr. Hamburger nominated. All things being equal, Col. Ingersoll would, us' a mutter of course, prefer Gen. Smith, tho soldier, to Mr. Ham burger, the civilian. All things, however, are nut equal. Gen. Smith may have killed a rebel, but there is no doubt thut the an cestors of Mi. Hamburger crucified Christ. Mr. Peters, the other most formidable candiduto for tho Republican nomination for State Treasurer, is in every way an un exceptionable gentleman. It is true ho was not a soldier, but ho might have been. Several times ho was in imminent danger of rushing into the army, and was probably restrained by ids gentleness of spirit, for no man was oyer cast inntler mould. He was not made for the rude ways of the rude world. The child of delicacy, he is almost ethereal. He ia the soul of honor, an em iKxliment of truth iri its most amiable phase and a -walking proclamation of tho I .'autles of gentlemanly refine ment. Soft-handed, small-footed, kind- voiced, gentle-eyed, Mr. Piters, while he has much force of will and is an incessant worker, skillful in everything he undertakes, would probably agree with the Fop, of King Henry IV, " that it waa great pity, o It wa, Thi villainous aaltpetre ahould be dlgg'd Out of the bowelt of the barnile earth. Which many a good tall fellow hath deatroy'd Bo cowardly:, and bnt for the vile (rum, lie would himself hare been aoldier." As we write the odor of rose leaves grate fully fills our nostrils, the taste of vanilla ice cream made at the Tremont house comes into our mouth, and before our mind's eye stunds a man "Fresh ait bridegroom; and hi chin, new reop'd, Show like a tuhble-land at harvet-home." The other prominent candidate if prom inent candidate he can lc called is Gen. J. C. Smith. He was a soldier, but he is not Warded like the pard. He is a very gentle gentleman. He is of reddish com plexion, reddish hair and r.'ddish whiskers. He is unfierce of aspect, quiet in man ner, unaggressive in conversation, neat but not gaudy in personal appearance, courteous in bearing and very pleasant in social inter course. During the late war he was a good soldier, and is now a sufferer frm wounds received on the field, a fact thut renders his nomination by the Republican State con vention improvable. Of late years the Illinois Republicans have discuitinued the practice of nominating soldiers. THE PR( POSED LEVEE AMENDMENT TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION. At the election in Noveml.r n?xt, a vote will be taken on the proposed amendment to the thirty-first section of the fourth arti cle of the constitution of the State. The proposed amendment is to make the section named above read as follows : 'The general assembly mar pa la' penniltln? the owner of land to construct drain., ditche and levee for agricultural, sanitary or mining purpose. (tom the land of other, and provide for the or ganiratioo of drainage district, and ret the cor porate amhorilie thereof with powet to construct and maintain levee, drain and didhe, and to keep in rtpa'r all drain, ditche and Wee hereto fore contracted under the law of 111 State, by fprclal a-M-fmctt upon the proptny benefitted thereby."' The State Register, of the 12th ins:., ex plains the proposed amendment, md to its explanat on we invite the attention of our readers.

The following very homely but singularly instructive lesson is by St. Philip Neri: A lady presented herself to him one day, accusing herself of being given to slander. 'Do you frequently fall into this fault .' ' inquired the Saint. "Yes, Futher, very often," replied the penitent. "My dear child," said the Saint, "your fault is great, but the mercy of God is still greater; for your pcrmiK'c, do us follows: Go to the net-rest market, purchased fTticken just killed and still covered with feathers; you will then walk to a certain distance, plucking the bird us you go along; your walk finished, you will return to ine." Great was the astonishment of the lady in receiving so strange h penance; but sii cueing ill litiinan reiis-ming, she replied, "I will olxy, Futher. I will obey" Ac cordingly, she repaired to the market. ooiignt tiic lowi uini set out on her joumev. plucking it us she went ulong us'shi; hud been ordered. In a short time slip returned, anxious to tell of her exactness in Heeomplishing her penance, and desirous to receive some ex planation of one so singular. "Ah!" suid the saint, "you have been verv faithful to the first pnrt of inv orders; now do the second part mid you will be cured. Itotrace your steps; p. through all tho places you have ulreadv traversed, mid gather up one by one. uli he feathers vou have scattered." ' "But, father," exclaimed the poor woman, "that is impossible, I cunt the feathers carelessly on every side; the wind curried them In different directions; how csn I now recover them?" "Well, my child," replied the saint, "so it is with your words of slander, like feather which the wind has scattered, they have lieen wafted In many directions; call them bac k now if you can. Go sin no more." History does not tell if tho lady was con verted; but it is probable. It required a saint to give the lesson, one should lie a fool Bot to profit by it. Tiik Countess Helena Gazowska has been arrested lately, at Vienna, for defraud ing jewelers. It has lsecn proved already tltut within a comparatively short time her frauds at Paris amounted to about $40,000, t Marseilles to 130.000, at ,Yverdun ; to $12,000, at Nice to $7,000, at Monaco to $4,000, at Brussels to $2,000. The Countess disposed of the jewels thus olrtained to per sons in good society, whom she made be lieve that the jewels were Ler own, and that she sold them in order to help the Russian wounded. Uahvakd students have taken extensive ly to tho bicycle for exercise in diversion. Prof. Griffin, of Williams, Walker, of Yale, Dt arUrn of Tufts, Fisk of Cornell, andLy ford, of Colby, will go to Europe next sum mer. Vimderbilt University, Nashville, has just received $2,000 from Win. H. Vander liilt for liooks. Cornell refutes the objec tion to the co-education of sexes, Miss Bracket thinks. She says that the girls and I toys generally "take not so much notice of each other as two ants on a heap of sand;" but do not two ants on a heap of sand take notice of each other?
