the boat for excursionists.

The Chicago Church Choir company
will appear at Harper's Opera House on
the evenings of June 2? and 28. The
well-known character of this troupe
should ensure it a good house. For an
evening of pleasure, it surpasses anything
that has been at the opera house for many
weeks.
THE EIVIE
No boats up to morrow.
The Josephine left at 4 o'clock.
The Minneapolis went below at noon.
The Pittsburg will be. down about 8
dock to-morrow morning.
The War Eagle went up yesterday with
good passenger list.

The river at St. Louis is booming and
still on the upward go. As will be seen by
referring to our telegraph columns the
river has broken through the dykes, and
is flooding the great American bottoms,
damaging crops to the amount of $1,000,-
000. The damage along the Mississippi
and Missouri will reach millions of dol
lars. Many of the railroads out of St.
nuis are water bound, also out of Kan
sas City.

The negotiations between the Union
'urine and the Northwestern roads for
fast trains !elween Omaha aud Chicago
have been broken off.

It is full color, and natural to the very
life. It represents Sheridan at Winches
ter, riding bis charger at full speed at the
bead of his command. To the right are
the infantry, with fixed bayonets, charg
ing at double time; immediately in his
rear is the cavalry, aabrca drawn, at full
gallop, and to the left and front tbe can
noneer beside his dismantled gnn, swab
in hand, sleeping the sleep that knows no
waking; a bursting shell above a tenor
drum completes the detail. Tbe picture
is well worthy a neat frame and a perma
nent place on the wall.
THE FOURTH.
The different committees are working
hard for the celebration of Independence
Day. Those who have subscribed are
paying in very well, and the committees
are beginning to see their way through.
The committee on printing are doing
good work. Several left, this morning,
for the surrounding towns, to distribute
bills and put up large posters. . The spec
ial committee on fire works is doing good
work, and has raised' 165 . They de.
sire to make f 200. The fire works, which
will take place on the river in front of the
city, will be a magnificent display. The
sum of $50 will be donated for artillery
salutes.
The money subscribed is all disposed
of. Tbe executive committee still needs
about $150. We will have many persons
of note here on that day, and it is very
resseutial that they should be provided
with carriages. The carriages must be
had, and it will take money to hire them
unless livery men will be generous enough
to donate the carriages.
THE SABBATH.
How the People Spent the Day of Rest
Excursions, Picnics, the
Chnrches, Etc. .
- -
Sunday was cloudy and cool. The sun
was not given a chance to pour forth his
hot rays, but was bidden behind dull,
heavy clouds. The wind blew soft and
cool, and it was just such a day for enjoy
ment and rest that one continually longs
for.
About 9 o'clock the steamer Josephine
steamed down the river for Muscatine,
witn about 500 excursionists, all bent on
seeing how much fun could be got out
of a dollar.' There were old people and
young people, sickly looking and well
people, all bound on a mission of fun.
The Great Western band played sweet
music, and there were cheers and shouts
of happiness as the beautiful, palatial
steamer pushed from the landing. The
day was spent by the excursionists in a
very enjoyable manner. -They returned
home about 9 o'clock, a tired and hungry
crowd.
During the day many private picnic
parties went out to Black Hawk, or on
the hills. The day was too lovely for
any one to miss getting all the enjoy
meat ihey could.
The American people have changed
greatly within the last few years as re
gards the Sabbath A few years ago (we
can all remember it) it was looked upon
as a day when all must sit still or go to
church. Only great sinners would go on
excursions or to picnics, (except a "basket
meeting,") or take their families into
the woods for a day of recrea
tion. Now it is different. People
are shut up so much in workshops and
factories, that they feel that the Sabbath
is the only holiday they have, and that
tLey must improve it, and they do improve
it. They lake their wives and little (Hies
on excursions, to pic nics, to strolls in the
woods, and many other .laces where rest
for the mind and body can be found. It
is absolutely necessary that man should
have lest, an J no one will object (certain
ly no sensible person) if the laboring man
prefers to take bis in a w ay that will do
him and his family the most good.
But people have not forgotten to go to
church during this great change. Many
attend the houses of worship during the
forenoon, and lake their strolls after
wards. Yesterday our churches were
well patronized. Our ministers all preach
ed deep, thoughtful sermons that would
refresh a man's mind after listening to one
of them. At the Broadway Presbyterian
church, the Rev. J, C. Holliday preached
on "Gifts for Christian Conquerors." In
the evening he delivered his twelfth ice
ture on the Pilgrim's Progress. Both ser
mon and lecture were highly entertaining.
At the Central Presbyterian church. Rev.
S. Cryer preached both morning and
evening. tus morning subject was
Higher Education," and evening subject
Ishmael in the Desert." At the First
Baptist church, Rev. J. W. Read, of In
aiana, preached an excellent sermon.
There were no services at the First Meth
odist church, on account of repairs going
on in the auditorium, and no services at
Trinity church.
BAK BALL.

The Hop Field hag been closed, aad
the boys will no longer be allowed to play

the ground for two years, at $30 per year,
aud wiU furnish posts if the club will
furnish the boards and build the fence.
This will be impossible for the boys, and
they are looking elsewhere for grounds.
In all probability, grounds will be secured
on the Rock Island and Moline line, be

In nominating Judge Iloadly for gov
ernor at a critical period in the history or
the-pai ty, when it is just again mounting
toward assured power, after a long inter
retrnuni, Ohio Dcmorcracy has shown
profound good judgement. While Judge
Homily has not been a politician in the
sense of having been a personal' aspirant,
be has been always connected with pub
lie affairs, close in with the current of
events. If he has lacked Ihe politician's
close -atentiou to Ins record, he has per
haps thus escaped some of tbe vices of
the politician by following bis own con
victions of right. From bis disinterested
stand-point, always in the current and
devoted to public questions, taking
deep inteivst in whatever might affect
the people, his views are unbiased by the
ersonal interest of a man with lus per
sonol fortunes embarked in a political
venture. As state legislator, member of
a constitutional cenvention. occupant of
judicial positions, and as a lawyer,
always taking an active part ami deep in
politics, lie is one of tbe best informed
of public men in America as to . men
measures and political history. His
Democracy is the result of his study,
observation and experience, while actively
engaged; and yet not personally biased
It is Democracy of the true Jeffersonian
type. It was not less exhibited when he
denied the rigiit of government to force
an industrial and social policy upon
Kansas than when he denied the right of
tbe government to force a social and
political policy upon American cominu
nities and Americans, or when he denies
the rig!it of tbe government to prescribe
what men shall eat, drink and wear to
legislate society into morality. His is a
Democracy which defines and limits the
power of government and assigns to law
and government, enacment and adunms
t ration, their true place and part in
human progress. It is such Democracy
as commends itself to the common-sense
and sound indi'uiknt of men, and such
as will unite all Democrats and draw
recruiti from opposing tanks.
Judge Iloadly is known as a man of
the purest morals, a clean and whol
some lite, an mtegrit which has never
been questioned a character of ths best
kind which has not required that any
body should defend it. He is broad and
liberal in his views, and every way a lit
type of progressive Democracy, which
draws wisdom from enduring principles
of tbe past, but as to policies and issues
looks only forward. His Humiliation
will rally tbe young Democrats, uni'to
upon him the liberal and progressive
elements of all parties, and draw forward
wilh these the old Democrats to assist iu
establishing Democracy ou a sure foot
log. . His nomination is Democracy's
farewell to Bjir .onisir, a rebuke to al
fossilism of the past, aud insurance
that conspicuous ability, sound judment,
capacity tor public aumrs, manly frank
ness and devotion to pure democratic
ideas of government are to rule iu Ohio
and to secure for the party that place in
the national councils which lias been so
long denied it in the management of its
stale canvasses.
Judge Iloadly has won, by his con
spicuous ability and national reputation,
which, with the political position of Ohio,
ill direct to this slate tbe eyes of all
Democrats. Hence it becomes all Ohio
Democrats to welcome and hail their
leader as early as possible, to show the
Democracy of the Union that here at

that tbey have secured a man so worthy

In commenting upon the failure ot Mr.
Peter McGeoch, the New Ybrk Commer
cial Advertiser directs attetion to the fact
that the products of this country are
little too big for a man or set of men to
manipulate. It thinks that everybody
must have received the announcement of
the failure with rejoicing, for there is no
more pernicious of destructive form of
gambling than that in food products.
t hese speculators may in the course of
time stop long enough in the midst of
their operations to see that the erea of
arable land is extending all the time, and
that stock-raising is becoming a more
important industry every year. Under
these circumstances it becomes more and
more difficult and dangerous to manipu
lLteand artificially bolster up the mai
kets-
A piano firm in Berlin has bought
the oaken piles which have just been take
out of the Rhine - at Mavence, and
which are said to be the original timbers
of tbe bridge which Julius - Caesar
constructed.
A popular French cook at Phila
delphia asserts that English sparrows
are an admirable substitute for reed birds
If this is the case tbe problem of their
destruction will goon lie solved by
enterprising potuunters.
Florida is said to contain a mysteriovs

"No, ir; I don't believe newspaper men are
more dissipated than any other class of men who
earn their living by their trains," said Mr. A. H.
Siegfried, Manager of the Advertising Department
of the St. Panl hontrr-Press. Still, thole of them
who do desk work are tempted to stimulate, for it's
very hard on the nerves and stomach.'
'As for example V
"At for example, in my own case, I stuck, to ni
deek on this pper nntil my nerves were like a
bunch of telegraph wires after a gale, and my
stomach kept about as good time as a two-dollar
watch. Myrienda suggested this and the doctors
advised that bat one day 1 'caught on' to an 'ad' of
Parker's Tonic, and tried it. I have never en
dorsed a proprietary medicine before, but I shall
depart from my rule and say that the Tonic is not
merely the best thing but the only thing that
breaks up these attacks.. All desk-workers should
make a note of it."
This preparation, which has been known as Pab-
kib's Gi.NaER Tome, will lure .fter be advertised
and sold simply under the name of Parker s Tome.
As unprincipled dealers are constantly deceiving
their customers by substituting inferior articles
under the name of ginger, and as ginger is really
an unimportant ingrtsdieut, we drop the mislead
ing word.
There is no change, however, in the preparation
itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands of
dealers, wrapped nnder the name of Parker's Gin
ger Tonic, contain the genuine medicine if the
facsimile signature of Hiscox & Co. is at the bot
tom of the outside wrapper.
