FOR tVKST I'OINT.
Jaimn It, (.'Imitiimn Wim the Successful Cau-
dliliitt'.
From the time a child enters the common
school us a pupil until he attains tho coveted di
ploma as a graduate of Vale, Harvard or West
Point, tho approach of examination day Is look
ed upon with. a certain uneasiness that amounts
to absolute feur lest some classmate outstrip him
in the examination and compel him to take a
grade below that which, under less exciting clr.
cuuiKtances, he would easily have won.
The same restless anxiety of which we have
spoken was visible in tho countenances of the
22 applicants who, with manly bearing, vied for
the position us cadet ut West Point lust week.
It was the observation of very many who saw
the young men as they entered the examiners'
room, that hi gentlemanly bearing and whole
some Intelligence, they were us tlneaclussas
ever entered u litt. The physical examination
was made by Dr. McArthur, and the scholastic
examination by Judge Harris, of Morris; Mr.
Ashley, of Kendall county; und Lieut. Arthur L.
Wngner, of this city.
On Wednesday of this week, the committee
pronounced their preference for James K. Chap
man, of Freedom township, in thi3 county, and
he was accordingly recommended for the place.
The successful applicant is, in height, about 5
ft. 0 in., well built, hits a very expressive and
keen eye, hi short, is the model of a good looking
young man. He is twenty-one years of age, and
a native of Ln Salle county. For a few years!
past he Mis been a shident ut the University of
Chicago, (of the class of '77,) and demonstrated
during that time his ability und disposition to
master any und ull studies hi which he has been
engaged.
We fully believe that the selection made by
the examiners is just, and while we would have
liked to see the entire class successful, we ure
satisfied that in Mr. (.liapman our congressional
district has a representative who will graduate
with high honors, who in time of peace will
make an estimublo citizen, and, should the bugle
call to battle, in time of war, a well skilled and
able officer.

We regret exceedingly that through some
mishap we failed to give a notice und a word of
encouragement, in our last issue, to the exeur
siou given by our excellent brass band on Wed.
nesday evening. The band is one of which Ot
tawa should be justly proud, and their excursion
was tine of which every citizen should be heart
ily ashamed. Any resident o'. Ottawa who has
heard, for u yeur past, their excellent music and
who has witnessed the energy displayed by the
band boys in procuring new music and success
fully rendering it, will blush to know that less
than twenty persons had interest enough in
their welfare to join them In a musical moon
light excursion on the river. Probably tho next
gratuitous catchpenny camivul that lb held the
band will again donate Its services ln considera
tion of the promise, "we always patronize you
when we have a chance." It is simply abomina
ble, the way the band was patronized. We trust
that the boys will arrange for another boatride
and keep a list of their patrons we would like
to secure their names as a relic. Boys, hunt for
your moimy where you lewt it, and get up auoth
er excursion.

Th Cotinty Fair.
During the week prior to the holding of the
State Fair in this city, our neighbors in Kendall
county will hold their annual county fuir. From
correspondence received, we feel justified in al
ready announcing their fair a success. The old
settlers of Kendull county will hold their re-union
at Bristol in connection with the fair, and
the C, B. & Q. road will carry passengers ut ex
cursion rates. Tl;is w ill ufl'ocd an excellent op
portunity for our citizens to pay our neighbors a
friendly visit, and view the large pumpkins and
1 ivc-ly girls that grow spontaneously in und
..round Yurkville. Let's all go.
On next Monday the La Salle County Teach
ers' Institute will begin a week's session in Men.
On last Saturday we assumed our favorite

This is an Institution which is in itself worthy
of all patronage. The Mineral" water is sup
plied in any niiau'.rty, nr.d heated by steam pipes
to any temperature desired. The rooms are
nicely twted and kept scrupulously clean.
To all desiring bh equal :o those taken at
the hot springs lu Arkansas, we will say you can
get it at the Minerd Spring Bath-house.
You can buy baby carriages chuap at Russell's.
The side-cut bridge on Main street has been
palled up during the week and moved in a very
disorganUed condition to the ravine on Illinois
avenue. Its place on Main street will be taken

while the old bridge i to be reconstructed and
will do service a a bridge acro:s tLe ravine. W.

Should Old Acquaintance Ite Forgot?
Wo should rcmurk, "nary." But on the con
trary would admonish our citizens, old and
young, sedate and gay, one and all, yeaeverbody
und his friends, that ou Thursday the same will
be goue over again. The old song will be sung
with new vigor, and the tales of olden times
again repeated by our grey haired veterans
The old settlers will Jollify. Tho matrons of
three sore und ten will, in their second child
hood, repeat their experiences when "gals," aud
note the changes that have passed. The belles
of to-day will flitter nrouud In their "tie-backs,"
fan their dear Augustuses, and raise aloft their
nasal organs In disdain at the old fashioned
"grannies." Tho staid and stalwart pioneers
will tell again of tho hardships endured, of tho
many exciting incidents connected with the cur
ly settlement of this county, und repeat the his
tory of those days when honesty wus the rule
and not the exception. The young Americans
of to-day will "chaw terbaekcr," and "go the 'old
man' two to one" that tho boys iu those days were
"snides" In comparison with the "thoroughbreds"
of to-day; will lllrt considerably with the Infat
uating "girls of the period," and have a "large
and luscious" time generally.
The older girls of maidenly proclivities will
have their hair combed with faultless precision
and wear the same look of sanctimoniousness
they wore iu the days long since gone by. They
will indeed be the only living type of early his
tory, for surely the old maid of Moses's time hn6
found a counterpart in the "single lady" of to
day. Tho bachelors (lucky fellows) will each
exhibit a front tooth tilled with gold, will each
sport a white vest and steel watch guard, and
with their hair systematically combed so as to
cover the bare-footed pluce upon the crown, will
stride about with faultless tread in search of
some affinity.
The ox cart and two-wheeled gig of the olden
time will have rusted hi its scabbard, and, while
the old folks totter ubout on goldheaded canes,
the rising generation will wheel o'er the boule
vards in u covered phaeton and talK waltz and
moonlight to their gushing Amorutas.
The Dominies of other days, who practiced
what they preached, rode a circuit and got a
hundred dollars a year for spreading the gospel,
will bo supplanted by tho Reverends of to-day
who barely escape tumbling off the "rugged
edge" on a salary of a cool hundred thousand,
and a two months1 summer vacation.
The Doctor of "ye olden time," who
"Physicked, 6wcat and bled 'em,"
and who for four "bits" would dish out a pewter
spoonfull of blue-mass to cure any of the "ills
that flesh is heir to," will be lost to view, but the
polished disciple of Esculaplus will bo there,
prepared, for the small consideration of 2, to
feel the pulse, nnd for an additional V to give
three sugar coated pills to uny who may bs a
"little off."
The "Squire," whose official duties used to be
to advise his neighbors to keep clear of law
suits, will be represented by the "Shyster'1 of
to-day, whoso only aim is to fleece the unfortu-
nute of earth aud to be elected to the state legis
lature. . ;
"Taking the entire sutisfa-.-tion In at a glance,"
we opine that the assembly will be large and the
show complete. Old fashioned pastimes will be
a leading feature of the entertainment. The as
semblage of honest people will be larger than at
any other gathering, and the eatables will be
good. In addition to all the other living curios
ities, we ("Kom") will be there, clad in the snowy
vesture of our purity (ahem), prepared to pencil
down the doln's. We shall be pleased to eat
dinner with at least a dozen different families
and answer questions hi regard to all the early
incidents connected with the settlement ol
Florida. Hon. Charles Bluncbard will be the
main orator but we expect to have much to say.
Any maiden lady of uncertain ngc who may
want escorts will be promptly Introduced to a
widower friend of ours from Livingston county.
The object of this will be to convince all that
Livingston county has some of thcoW scU(l)eris
in the state.
Several old ladies will spin on an older wheel
and for the uninformed wc will add that this lias
(for them) been truthfully called a"wl;ccl of for
tune."
The bridge will be free, also the spring and
wagon roads.
Prof. Lansing and everybody will sing in the
good oldvfaxhinncd way.
Henry Walthcr will supply the "Inner man'1
and all Fniall boys with goodies.
The above, of course, refers to the Old Set
tlers1 Annual Picnic, to be held ut Hoes's grove
in South Ottawa, on next Thursday, the 10th

bors, Invite them to attend and view the relics
of early days, associate themselves withe cus
