While getting his cutter out of bis shed the other day it slipped from his grasp, and the seat struck him on the bridge of the nose. Fortunately the rim of his hat lessened the force of the blow, and the ;enial doctor was spared the humiliation of a broken nose. A New Gatujor. Mr. Arthur 13 ur rail has leeeived notifi cation of his appointment as ganger in the place of Col. H. U. Burgh, resigned. The appointment came through Collector Kelly from Secretary of the Treasury Manning, and today Mr. Iluirall forward ed his bond to Washington for approval, with Messrs. Porter Skinner and E. W. Hurst as sureties. He will probably enter upon his new duties the first of the year. Mr. Burrall is one of the prominent dem ocrats of the city and county, chairman of the Jefferson club, and has severed three terms, and is at present holding the office of assistant supervisor. Very few changes are being made in the treasury depart ment, and it is not likely that an appoint ment would have been made here had not Col. Burgh resigned. To day is the coldest of the seas.m, cold weather having set in early this morn ing with intense severity and sending the mercury down to six below, up town, and ten and twelve in the v ncinity of the lower saw mill and river front. The suow of yesterday had little eft ct upon the arrival and departure of liaius. On Uie C. K. 1. v i'., Uie tarty morning trams were a few minutes later, but otherwise there was no deiay. The C, B. i.V .trains from St. Louis come in all right anil the trainmen report three inches of snow St. Louis, is the heaviest for years. They expected to encounter trouble coming up but were agreeably disappointed. The Beardtown express was forty-five min utes late on account of a delay on the rcain line at Monmouth. The C , M. & St. Paul and R. I. & Peoria trains were on time. THE FAST 10l(i MAN." Interesting Mention by the Iti y, it, iVart i Aioaleiii and His Charftct'T. At the First M. E. church yesterday, Rev. R. G. I'earce delivered the second of two sermons from the text "Absalom, or the Fast Young Man." Tte discourses were so interesting, and the lessons c of so much value to the voung 1 of today, that the Aiuus has solicited o Mr Perece a combined synopsis of the two sermons, which he lnm courteously ex tended : "ABSALOM, OH THE FAST YOCMI MAS." "It the Young Mun Abciilom SiifoV" - Samuul, IS 5J- The bible resembles a portrait gallery adorned with the faces of remarkable historic men, where every variety of fea ture and every typo of character may ue found. It is this typical character ot the bible that gives such value to tins anciuni book- In reading it we forurel that it is nu old book. It seems a new book, from exhibiting the latest phases "f human cou duet; from setting before us moral quali ties ai.d actions which we recognize as familiar, and connecting with them time ly lessons f,r our instructions and warn ing. Such reflections ate awakened by the perusal of the story of Absalom. It is a typical Mory, and he was a typical character; ant: story and character are representative of what is called, in popu lar oarlanee, "The Fast Younr Man." The name "Absalom"' means Father of Peace." , It was, as u'iveu to the son of David, as strange a misnomer as that by which Judas, the betrayer of our Lord and the object of universal cxt cralion bore a name Hitrmfvinc "praise. lie was the thud of six sous born to David in He brew by as many different mothers. Hi father was a knur, and his future was as bright with hope a1 ever opened to the aze of asninnir youth. Possess i n! rare personal beaut v, pitted and fondled by indulgent parents, In walked up the sunny path of early youth to vouns manhood, piuehing the tempi ins fruit of desire which hung in such luxuriant growth about him, andeatiuir to the full. He was not wholly bad, but one of those thoughtless, reckless young men. not seldom met with 10 modern duvs. who are not over scrupulous about theft habits, and lead a kind of free and easy life. He had a chivalrous spirit ot 'innor. He indignantly resented the out- raize done bv Amiion to his sister, am gratified hi bt.'iiing revenge by murder-in-r the cuiltv brother. For this violation of the law Absalom was compelled to th e the kingdom and remained in exile for three year.-, until Juab, David's prime minister, succeeded by artful strategy, 11 obtaining the kiny's consent to the youn prince's return to Jerusalem. Yet Iivi did not dare to receive him to Hie court and for two years he res-ided in his own house without seeing his I'M hers f.tcu He desires an interview with Juab, that he may secure his services in bringing about a reconciliation with his father A young man ol bin stamp is never at a loss for means to comp.-is his end, il tl.ere is no right way to the end desired there is always a wrong way. Jonb' barley lields are near at hnii'd .Vb.-nloii orders bis servants 1o set liie to tie 'in Tins has the purposed 1 licet. Jaab in tercedes with David. A':.'tloni h brought before that f,itiu v whost face lie had not seen tor live, years. The old man grants him a tu;l pardon, sealing it with a kiss of reconciliation No sooner is he established in his new relations than he begins to plot for tin throne. He knows how to play the dem aot:ue. David is not only king, but judge. Innumerable cases, of appeal, a1 least, are constantly demanding his alien lion, and there must of necessity be sunn: delay and dissatisfaction. Tin-; wii.y son, Absalom, perceives this state of thing iiud with all the cunning trickery of modern politician. gives himself to the task of sumdanling his lather on the throne. He. takes his place at the gate of the pal ace, and when the men of Judca come up from various parts of the country to seek justice at the king's court, he ujicstions ! each as to his cause; tells him it is right and good, but there is no man deputed o! the king to hear him; and then with an affected disinterestedness, that strikingly reminds one of some of the political phil anthropists of our day, exclaims: "U that I were made juuge in tne laiut, mat every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and 1 would do him jus- 1 lice!" Thea, too, Absalom allocted a profound regard for the common people, j When any one of this class approached i him, Absalom smiled blandly, boweu graciously, and saluted h!m with a kiss. Ah, how he loved tne lower classes. 11 ; marvelous what a race ot successors in ; this line of reform Absalom has left be- hind him. In Roman history we have j among others, an instance of like conduct in Salvius Otho, whom a historian terms the Roman Absalom. But who shall num ber the American Absaloms, whose love for the dear people finds expression in smiles and bows and pompous words. high sounding with the promises of a pseudo philanthropist? Thusdoea he sow the secls of rebellion. And when the plot is fully ripe Absalom leaves Jerusa lem under "a false pretext and goes to Hebron, twenty miles away, where his in surgent followers meet him and proclaim him king. The sad intelligence soon reaches David in his palace. Ho is com- nclled to tlee from his throne, and. acs, companiedby a faithful band of adherents, hastily marches out 01 the city, wane Absalom with his forces enters Jerusalem and takes possession of the royal palace. David meanwhile, pushed on his little army across the Jordau, as far as Mahanaim a city among the mountains of Uilead wheiv, refreshed nnd rein forced, he prepared to meet the insurgents. Absalom followed with his army, in com mand of his cousin Amasa. the decisive battle was fought in the wood of Ephs riam. . Twenty thousand men fell upon the field. AbsaJom "rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great loak, and his head caught hold frf the oak. and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.'' Joab, who was in command of the king's forces, was told of his plight, and hastening to the spot thrust him through the heart with three darts, ami ordered ten young men to complete the deadly work. "And they took Absalom andct him into a great pit in the woo 1, ami hod a heap of stones upon him' Thus in gloriously ended the history of ibis un principled young man. The Jews to ttiis day cast a stone at his tomb, which stands in the valley of Je hosuaphat, to express their indignation at his heartless conduct. In ANALYZING TIIK inAii.UTKIt of this young man. that we may discover and show its antitype which is round to day in the vnri:HH cinder oF society, we find in the first place a supreme self con ceit which renders him impatient of re straint. IPs own head is for h'in the one fountain of wisdom, his own foolish heart the ot;e counsellor lie secus, ids nw n hot blood the one impelling force of his life. No man or institution h ih any sacrcdness for him All that his gone before belong to the "old foyism" of the foolish past. He is the son of a wiser and faster age. Anothercharaoterisiic of this young Absalom, and of np;jrly every other fast young man is utfer want of filial affection mid regard. We see it in his de&ire to supplant his father, in his foul conspiracy, in his unnatural desire to take the life of his father, who had loved and doted on him. The youth who refers to his father as the old man, "the governor, etc., is takiny the first step in Absalom's down ward course. EXTRAVAGANCE is another feature of the character I am delineating. David was not a man of show. But this young sprig of rovaltv, who is living on his father's bounty, keeps his dashing turnout, and rides through the streets of the city attended, by fifty out ruuners. His old fogy father may go ou, if he chooses, in his plain, quiet way of living, singing his psalms and of fering his p ravers and utteuding to all the iuties of a religious life; but as for Absa lom, he is bound to make a da-?h aud cut a figure in society. Observe the utter unscru nulousness. the entire want of moral principle, which marks the conduct ot this hot headed youth. He has an uspjring nature, and is ambitious to rise to high honor nnd pow er. A true ambition is a noble element in the character of a young man. Ahsa-. lorn wished to sit upon the throne, ami he scrupled-not at the use of any means to gratify this unhallowed desire. The basest treachery, the most heartless grat itude toward an jitTecliona'e father all this was the price he paid to secure his end . L'H us notice the indueiutr causes that produce tiiis character. Absalom was horu into a condition of af fluence. To be reured in the lap ot lux my, aud never know the healthful disci pline of want, never feel the mighty in citements of necessity, never expedience true independence, which personal effort inspires, is not best for a young man. A fortune is to most young men a positive misfortuue. The early MOHAJ. AND JtKl.PHiHK (.TIlTliH of Absalom was sadly neglected. David was a busy man, as fathers usually are, and found too little time for the religious training of his children. 1 would il were not so, but it is the fact, that upon the mother rests the burden justly or uie justly of imparling religious instruction to the children of the household, audit she fails in this holy service, the failure is too often fatal. His mother was a heathen princess, and, without doubt, the gods of Uesheer were worshiped. The only instance of a religious act in Absa lom's history was his remiest to go to Hebron for the. fulfillment of a vow, and then he used religion as a pretext to iiide.rebellion. Parental indulgence David, with all his virtues, was an over fond father. The young Absalom was never subjected to the rjiiot'ous discipline, the restraints, the self denial and self government essential to the foundation of a strong and virtuous chaiiu ter. David reaped at length the bitter fruits of un wise indulgence, as every parent will. (I) PAHCNTAI, SIN. David's own lifts had not. hi en pure. David knew it, ami his family knew it. No man can sin as David did and mains tain unbroken his bold upon bis children's reverence. God forgavo David, but cer tain natural consequences followed which wrung his heart with dreadful paims ami Absalom's rebellion is pos.-ibly to be reckoned one of them. May God pi 1 y and strengthen the parents, G td bless anil save the sous, and may neither have occasion to lament the errors of a misspent life. K no li'a Case. The arrest of Mr. lid Kn II, of Car thage, Mo., for violating the internal lev enue laws, was a surprise to his many fi tends in Moline aud Rock IUud, as it could hardly be believed that he had in tentionally committed fraud. To ascer tain the true status of the case, his broth er, Mr.C. C. Knell, of this city, tele graphed to Carthage. In reply he re ceived a letter yesterday morning, which threw an entirely different light upon the affair. It seems that about last August Ed Knell was offered 00 worth ef cigars for one of his hunting doys by a New Y'oik man, and he accepted it. lie then turned over the cigars to a local dealer diking other goods in return. Some sneak then complained on him, and he was arref ted as stated. United Slutes Attorney llen lon took him before Jugde Kregel, id' Kan sasCity, where a statement of tin; transac tion was made, and the court advised Mr. Knell to plead not guilty and stand trial when tiie case would come up at the May term next. Mr. Knell, however, preferred to plead guilty in order to avoid the in convenience and expense ol going 10 Kansas City again in May, and the court had no other alternative but to find him guilty, which it did to the extent or $0 and costs. Ed Knell represents C. C Knell interest in the large furniture estab. lishmcnt of Knell & Howenstein, at Car thage, and is a gentleman who would not violate the law knowingly. The Lucal League. The local branch of the Irish National league hail a large aud enthusiastic meet ing at Norris' hall last evening. Brief addresses touching the subject of Par ncll's patriotic policy were made liy Hon. P. O' Mara, Alderm-iti Cavaiiuugh, Thomas Thornton aud others. Pat rick Ferron recited an interesting Irish poem entitled "Soggart Anm." The meetings of the Rock Island branch are growing in interest constantly and nine new names were added last night. At the meeting next Sunday even ing au address will be made by A. P. Mc Guirk. Esq., and T, L. Summon, editor of the Iiuca Mexnenger, of Havenpitrl, and there will be music, declamations, recita tions, etc. A delegate will be chosen to represent the local hoard at the conven tion to be held iu Chicago in January, when Purnell will be present. Police Points- John Cowan, who evidently had bj en in communication with the signal service depart m cut, on Fridav made a raid on Mrs. Fabian's house, a hash hostelry of Moline. He secured sundry pieces of clothing while the boarders were gettin outside their noon day meal, arid escaped unnoticed. The loss was foin dicov- en d. however, and efforts ma Jo to catch the thief. He was nabbed Saturday Davenport, "and now languishes in the hotel de Relieker, having pleaded guilty to larceny and being unable to furnish bail which Justice Bi-nnett thought h.j thnuld do.

The siipi rinrity of mir Photographic work is rowoiU'il by all who are familiar with it . To those who me not ni'quaihud with it we nerd only say that we aua taiu our assertion of superiority wiiu a uu mkiial awarded for a display of Photographs at the exhibitinu of Photographers of the United Hiatus, held at Buffalo, N. V.. INKD. KNTEKl'WSK. . We fully appreciate iho impurtaneo of artistic ( fl'crts in Photographic Por traits, hence our operating rooms areerowdi d wilh backgrounds and accessories. We have lately addeil the following every arliele a novelly, and not duplicated in any other gallery in this vicinity: Auti.'pip Table, Antiuue l.'arved Cabinet; Durham Tree, rouf;h bark, with branches in leaf; Combination IUstic Circular Garden seat, with hack or to be placed around foot of tree; ltustic Fence; An tique Carved Trunk, used as hall seat: Elaborate Writing Desk and large Hand painted Japanese Screen. In backgrounds we have purchased an English Wood lawn scene and an AnthUe lub rior. In diaperii s and curtains we have added several rich desmns. A Iter adding (he above to our extensive assortment of backgrounds and accessories, we feel that our work will become still more noted for rich effects and artistic posing. 1MUCKS. Quality considered, our prices are the lowest. but we do not advertise onr prices for the reason (hat among professional people only uuacka and shysters give prominence to their cheapness of price. In Photographic work, kxoux i,i:nck is more desirable than cheapness. It is a mistake to suppose the gener al public does no! understand 111? difference between gooil work ami cheap work; were it otherwise we could not boast of our success and Die fact that the working force of our gallery is two assistants more than double Ihe total force of all the other galleries in the city combined. At present our working force is ex doublu what it was a year ago. This tells the story of a struggle between fine work ami cheap work. THIS SPACE IS RESERVED VOU THE POPULAR CENTRAL SHOE STORE G.
