If there are V; »vlls threatening our Pacific States, •there surely must be wiser and better lllreinedies for them than a hasty and If lreTolutlonary measure pressed through Congress under the urgency for parti­ san success in a presidential election. JUDGE WILSON, The Elgin Advocate says: '"There ap|>earano probability ofopposltlon in Kaae ooimty to Judge Wilson for «N of the Judges of this Circuit. He I* the candidate of a tery large ma­ jority of the Members •/ the bar (la fact we foam of little dissent,) and there la every rem on to think that he It the choice of a very great majority of the people. In flow of these facts, his /iomination and eleotlon may safely be regained ns among the certainties. He has not only the advantages of being popular in other counties than this, but It Is generally considered that Kane county befng the most populous of the district and central, should have one of the Judges. There are three to b» elected. The district comprises seven counties--Kane, Mcllenry, I)e- KaJb, Lake, Kendall, Dupage and Boone. The Republican candidates thus far mentioned as positively in the field, are Wilson, of Kane, Murphy aud Coon, of McHenry, and Upton, of Lake. Kellum,of DeKalb, is mentioned as a possible candidate. Judge Cody would like a re-election, but sut the Republi­ cans will probably run a straight ticket, his chances are slim." That sweet being whom the poetfc have so raved about in every age of the world--the lovller form and noble embodiment of the human race --but this Is a waste of time. What wo want to say Is this: That the full- grown, middle-aged, in fact, venerable sisters who are gathering names to a petition for the gi anting of the right of suffrage to women on the liquor . question, ought to have more sense. ,Do not these ladles know that a con- ^ stltutional amendment Is necessary for that, and that the LeglslatnM cannot change the constitutionf * , *. - 'The custom of observing Lent Is of great antiquity, dating back to the first ages of Christianity. From the commencement of the christian 'era it has been used to set aside a pe­ riod of humiliation and abstinence In remembrance of the sufferings.crucifix- Ion and resurrection of the Son of litod. just before Easter. The name is de­ rived from the Ssxon word ler.g, (spring) signifying the season of the year when it occurs. The length of ;tlme of the observance has varied, first having forty hours and thten thlr- ty-slx days. Four days were added In the nluth century, making, u at pr» •nt, forty days. r /• 9QT*Moy Jin Kee is a Chinaman of the; blue blood, studying for the minis­ try In New York. Mr. Kee laugh«d with all that'dismal solemnity which overcomes the Celestial ever wlien he laughs, at Senator BUine^ ignorance r in assertlugliis countrymen eat rats. He says the little animal for which they manifest such a loudness Is the snow fox, which U about as large as our red squirrel, and much more palat­ able than the rtbblt. The Chinaman's consumption of rats, however, is not, iand should not be urged as an object tion against him. Hfe might devour every rat ki America, and jojr atte»4 his feast. 'The Forty-sixth Congre ss met in extra se*siofi at noon Tuesday, and both Houses were organized without delay. The Journal says: Mr. Ran­ dall was re-elected Specter of the House of Representatives, alt the Dem­ ocrats voting for him. The threats of a bolt in oase be waa nominated amoufe-1 (tad to nothing, and the subsidy-grab­ bers have once more a friend ii« the chair. Qeuer%l Oar tie Id was voted for by the Republicans, receviug 125 votes, to 144 for Raudall. The Greenback , strength, about which the flutists have Ifbeen making considerable fuss for two r^weeks, dwindled" down to thirteen harmless votes, which were cast for Mr. H. B. Wright, of Pennsylvania, Mr. W. D. Kelley, of th« same State, re­ ceived one vote. ThcSenate adjourned after the new members were sworn in. aV^The Rock ford Register Mi % oensation. A few days ago'its post of G. A. RhoapiUbly received a fellow ^soldier, maimed attd shattered; now l)t thinks this brave soldier waa the notorious Three-Fingered Jack who is suspected of the murder of Cashier Barron and the robbery of the Dextec, Maine, Bank. It says: • • • Now for the sequel. The description answers in the most min­ ute particulars to that of the tramp who exhibited hi* numerous honorable scars lai G. A. R.

Thi# In­ dividual Is thought to be Three-Fin­ gered Jade, a notorious New York Bank Bobber, aud the authorities In numerous pi noes want him. This arti­ cle may fnrt!i«t» the desired clue. The ElginiZ-ecufcr also says: "This -s&me fellow wa«ln Elgin the following day, and slept fn the cooler that night. |iH# related all his etorie*. showed his IgJeiiers and wouivl«. took hi a few citl- :' |cea«. but not being able to stand cross oMue®tionin)(. was thought a humbug." % TM* same individual was in McHen- J^ty, and showed us his honorable scars Arid related his wonderful stories.-- ^ We had n<i idea, however, that we were cutectaiaiag M noted a eliaracter. The great walking match, which took place In New York last week, closed on Saturday night, and was won by ROwell, the English cham­ pion, with Ennis, of Chicago, second and Harrimau, of Boston third. 0'- Leary was taken sick and was obliged to abandon the track much to the mor­ tification of himself and friends. The stories that lie had boon drinking is false. The distance' made by the three pedestrians who kept the track Is as follows: Rowell, BOO miles; En­ nis, 475 miles; Harrlman, 450 miles.-- The distance made by the winner lacks 20J miles of O'Leary's record, which shows that had the champion been well he could have won easily. We learn that Rowell, the winner,has been challenged by both Ennis and Wen- ton, which proves that he will not be able to retain the belt without a strug­ gle. MfWra. E. Chandler writes to the New York Tribune predicting (hat President Hayes will resist the reac­ tionary Democracy at every point and Unite cordially with the Republicans of every grade. Chandler saj's, he makes thus prediction without retrac­ ting a single opinion concerning the past motives and action of the Presi­ dent: "Hayes Is now relieved from fear that the democrats wilt turn hint out and Install Tilden, and he lias also come to the place where two ways meet, and he cstn ne longer hold with with Demoor.its an d run with Republi­ cans. He will again be acting with if not securing the confidence of stalwart Republicans. Murat Halstead wrote me shortlv after March 4th, 1877. that Hayes was liable to He the most radical President we ever hail.' It look? now as if that liability, after tiro years of defalcations, were t<» be partly re­ deemed by the President/' -o:-' • ». jpHlCAGO MAHKKT4. . .
