People are complaining that in the upper part of the city the superintendent has not opened the fire hydrants for three or four months, and, as a consequence, there is a large amount ot dirt and other filth in the pipes makiog it impossible, sometimes, to draw water from private pipes. It is also said that the water has a very offensive smell, and is unfit for nse. The hydrants should" all be opened at least once every weekand the city clerk says this is the mayor's order to the superintendent. Then let it be enforced before another epidemic from impure water breaks out. Personal.

Sealing out Justice. " For some time past people living below Wayerhauser & Denkman's saw mill have been complaining to the police that Jennie uller, wife of Dearborn B. Fuller, (or, 'John Ilenry," as he is commonly called) was keeping a disorderly house and bouse of ill-fame in that vicinity. Yesterday afternoon, on complaint of citizens. Justice Cropper issued a warrant for her arrest, which was made by Policeman Bollman, and she was locked up irf Jatl. This morn ing, the evidence being very strong against her, she was fined $75 and costs, and sent to jail She was very insulting to the court and the officers during the trial. Billy Catton and Wm. McCarty got into a dispute, last evening, in the Blue Front saloon as to who was the best billiard player.

It has been finished up in a substantial and thorough manner, and re fleets credit upon tho company for making such solid and permanent improvements, as 'well as upon Mr, P. Kennedy, the master bricklayer, in charge of the work. Mr. Kennedy has had a large experience in this kind of work, having superintended the construction of sixteen similar tanks erected by the Manhattan Gas Co, ia the city of New York, some years since. Each tank contained 1,000.000 bricks. Mr, Kennedy has also built the brick work of a large number of dwelling houses, stores, and public buildings in years past, and still continues in that line of business He is deserving of public patronage, and is a competent and reliable man in his pro fession.

The trouble grew out of an old feud between Jonas Barbor and A. T. and A. R. Drury, which culminated last week, in an assault and battery and Barber sued the Drurys for trespass, claiming $200 damages. Wm. H. Atwood, Esq., of this city, appeared for Barber, and Wm.

HIM, MUM, Connty Judges. The members of the Rock Island coun tv bar. some two weeks since, held a meet inr in favor of choosing a lawyer for Coun ty Judge, and, since then, have issued an address to the people, setting forth the reasons for their action. While we would not, as a matter of principle, urge the election of a lawyer, simply because he was a lawyer, to any office, wo must recog nize the fact that there are omces the duties ot which are wholly judicial, and which none but lawyers, and eminent ones too, are, from education, training and long practice, qualihed to nil. t or instance, when a judge ot the Supreme or tbe Cir cuit court is to be chosen, nobody thinks of going outside of the legal profession for a candidate. There may be men in the district eminent for education and natural abilities, who would be preferred to lawyers for many other offices, but they have not made law a life study, and they must do that, and become eminent in the legal profession, before the people would be willing to elevate them to the position of judge of the Supreme or Circuit Courts. W hen tiounty Uourta were hrst organ ized in this state, they were simply courts of probate; the recording ot wills, appoint ment of administrators and executors, and other things of a similar nature, embraced the ocope of their duties, to discharge which did not occupy more than two days to a month, nor require more legal knowl edge than for a justice of the peace. Since the adoption of the present constitution the jurisdiction of county courts have been enlarged at every session of the legislature, until now we have a court with twelve probate and four law terms each year, with jurisdiction in all civil cases involving one thousand dollars or less, and in all criminal cases not punishable with imprisonment in penitentiary; a court hardly second to the Circuit Court in its scope of business, and designed to take from that court more than half the cases that have been taken there; a poor man's court, as it were, where he can have his grievances redressed without the expense and delay incident to a trial in the Circuit Court; and it is a question worthy of very grave consideration, wheth er any man, save one skilled in the profes sion and practice of law, can discharge the duties of County Judge with justice to the people and to himelf. Aledo record. The Colored Han in this Country. From tht CJilcaqo Timet. The traveler of a conspicuous New York journal who was detailed to examine and report ubon the progress which sambo has recently made in civilization, comes to the conclusion from all facts that he can gather that the southern negro is gradually reced ing into the condition of barbarism. As the statement implies that the southern negro has. at some period of his existence, ad- Yanced out of the barbarous condition, the question arises, how far he must recede in order to get back to it The average Amer ican supposes that there is a difference, ia respect of civilization, between the negro as we see him in America and the negro as Been by Livingstone and others in Africa, corresponding in some degree to the differ ence between the modern European and the European of the time of Alario and Barbarossa. But iu reality there is no such difference. The average American negro has to recede but a little way to reach the social status of his kindred in Africa. KOTES HHILE A2TD THERE. Very dusty.

Uo luesday morning there were two fires in Davenport one on the coroner of Seventh and Gaines streets, occupied by a family named Beck, which was damaged to the amount of $1,000 but covered by insurance. The other originated in an old frame dwelling at the corner of Seventh and Marquette, communieating to Mr. Adam Weigand's residence 632 Mar quette. The frame was burned almost before the department arrived and they turned their attention to Weigand's house, but before extinguishing the flames the roof was burned and the interior of the upper story partly. Most of the furni ture was saved, but much of it damaged )in removal, lne building was literally flooded with water, from which most of the damage arises.

Some time ago there lived in Edinburgh a well-known grumbler named Sandy Black, whose ofcen recurring fits of spleen or indigestion produced some amusing scence ot senseless irritability, which were highly relished by all except the brute's good, patient little wife. One morning Sandy rose bent on a quarrel, lhe had- dins and eggs were excellent, done to turn, and had been ordered by himself the previous evening and breakfast passed without the look for compliment "What will you have for dinner, bandy t said Mrs, Black. "A chicken, madam." said the husband "Roasted or broiled?" "Confound it, madam, if you had besn a good and considerate wife you would have known before this what I liked," Sandy growled out, and slamming the door behiud him, left the house. It was in toe sprmg, ana a mend who was present heard the little wife say: "Sandy's bent on a disturbance to-day; 1 shall not please bim, do what 1 can. The dinner time came and Sanday and one friend sat down to dinner. The fish were eaten in Bilence, and on raising the cover of the dish before him, in a towering passion be called out: "Boiled chicken! I hate it, madam A chicken boiled is a chicken spoiled." Immediately the cover was raised from another chicken roasted to a turn. ' "Madam, I won't eat roast chicken. roared Sandy: "you know how it should have been cooked!" At that instant a boiled chicken, with mushroomB was placed on the table. "Without green peas?" roared the grumbler. "Here they are, my dear, said Mrs, Black.
