If he should live a thous­ and year.^ he never would he placed in w> embarassing a situation. Over­ whelmed with grief lie looked with horror upon the event whose fatal termination would have placed him In the highest, ortice attainable by Any /freeman. Mr. Arthur has shown him- •«lf worthy of ills great office." 1 • i* *1 I^Tlie National i cpubliccm, the stalwart organ at Washington, editor rlally said: "The frothy and stilted stnfl which the base murderer uttered to the world having to magnify his crime, is fully contradicted by his own written pro­ fessions to the president of devotion to him in his controversy with t>ome uf his party. While begging a place he was against the stalwarts, and in a note to the president said: "I regret the trou­ ble yon are having with Senator Conk- ling. You are right, and should main­ tain your position. You have my sup­ port and that of all patriotic citieens> 1 would like an audience for a few mo- menu.*' Does tliTr not prove its writer a most mendacious wretch in claiming affiliation with those known as stal­ warts? He was a vagrant endsavoring to live by his wits, a proven rascal «nd petty swindler of boarding houses, demanding an office for services never recorded,and importuning the presi­ dent and other officials until he became • nuisance to, be abuted. The presi­ dent of the United States should not be accessible to such wretches. Rtfus- #d office, destitute of any means of sub- port, expelled from one boarding house after another, he at last found the ditch- Filled with malice,anil carefully plan­ ning tim least detail of crime, he «c. «ompllslied it with deadly dexterity and found refuge in the jail by prudent Mkppeals for haste to the officers by ^4h«n,he w«g t»ken. That such a man ?|§»r* commit such a crime is the terror if the time. That the person of tlie president is not safe froiu the assasiirs --rJland, tlie haud of a common tramp. Is a symptom of some frightfully moral disease not yet understood. That the B«nje»ty of the law will be asserted by »uch penalty as the law provides for liis crime there can be no doubt. There must be no mawkish sentiment, defying •ommon sense, in order to find insanity in the deliberate met hod of a desper- -vagrant; nor must mob law insult the president ly taking from the hands of justice her weapons or her scales * * It is the earnest wish and hope of •very Americau citizen that the great courage with which the president has met the assassin's bnllet mar. to use tiisown words, "enable him to pull through all right." if lie can live, the nation will rejoice, and the awful glimpse we have had of the abyss will teach us all to bear and forbear more and more with eaeh other as a whole people. Hu6hed.f<ir a time at least will be the voices of faction.

"Saturday, p. ic.--Well, another w »sck hus gone by in about the same old way. Now I mi not ashamed of mv iiitsiuiw. which, I think, requires a <• insiderahie amount of brains. The o*her night I went out for a little v hile to ;i sort of a noeial gathering, and I hadn't got into the parlor before a young lady simpered : 'Oil! Mr. you ain't g.mi^ to put us in the paper Nrwyiiit** I had ;i Iiig notion to say something bad but I didn't. Then I go to some public exhibition, and every pei-eou I meet s.-tys: "Well, are you geltii.g it all down?' or 'Got something to wrii«» up havn't yon?' 'I s'poge you fellows get into all these shows for nothing?' or some equally fiat remark. Everywhere it's the same way. Go to church--which some re porters do because tliey culoy it and von are met with the facetious re­ mark: Well, you have to be pious once In a while, don't yon?' Meet a mau on a stive tear and he asks you If there is any sensation afloat. People don't seem to think that we fellows know anything but "shop.' Why don't they 4sk..a lawyer out In society if he is lookiug tor a .case, or a doctor whether he expects somebody will be sick be- fore he leaves, a bank cashier what the , highest per cent, is upon first mort- g*ge loans? I can't understand it. W«are just like other folks, and there are times, rare it Is sadly true, when we are not on duty and feel that we would like to enjoy social life juat as - otherpeopl« do. But I suppose it al­ ways will he so, and 1 am too tired to try and understand why." WAUCONOA. «VSUB80ittPTroN<s fcr the ft.AIKtifeAl.Kit Will be received in Wiuicnnita at F. B. Harrison'* Drag Store aua at (tie Port Office Editor Plaindealeu :--For the past ten days flie air of Wiiuconda has been full of talk and caloric. 3arfield aird Gltteau and Conkling and Arthur have been thoroughly discussed but 4*the discussions, heated as many of thent were, were very cold when com­ pared with the atmosphere. In spite, however of the numerous exciting events of the outside world, our own little Railroad Boon has held Its own and made good progress. People be­ gin to look upon the schemfe with more favor. Men who a week ago talked about 8100 subscriptions now concede their willingness to go $500. Of course there are the regulation unniber of "fniiiiv follows" who are continually getting ofi some stale and insipid joke (?) about "when the train will start," or '-where tickets can be had," and there is also hanging about, what every country town cm furnish, via.: the superannuated old fossil who talks arrant nohsehse about "the railroads killing the town" and so on, but in spitc^of the clowns and the Croaker?, there areffar sighted, active, able men enough here to prevent the chance now offered from passing without an effort to s2cute a road. An honest effort, even if it results in failure, will be commended by intelligent men and hooted at br fools, while failure for want of an effort finds no one to make excuses for it. Mr. Thomas' proposi­ tion is so fair that if it be ouee repeat­ ed the idea of any kind of a swindling scheme cannot occur. He doesn't want a cent of money and won't get a rent of money until tlie road is fully com­ pleted, equipped and in operation. The committee of seven, and others in­ terested, are working, quietly to be sure, but steadily and to some purpose as our luke warm friends will find, ere long, to their chagrin. The Lake Zurich people are also aroused, several thousand dollars having already been pledged down there. The right of way, up to within aboul'two Wauconda is considered us secured. In short those w ho vestigated most fully have reasons for considering a railroad Wauconda this fall ail assured fact. Mr.Coggin is about to build an addi­ tion to his mill. lie has just put in a new set of rollers and a let of other improvements.and reluctantly admits that there is no more room for im­ proved machinery. Hence, the addi­ tion. Mr.Todd, the veteran contrac­ tor of the town, spent Friday in Chi­ cago arranging for^the material, and the fouudatiou has already been begun. The closing exercises of the Acad­ emy were largely attended a week ago last Friday and tlie words of praise uttered by the parents and friends will go far toward repaying Mr. Stev­ ens and Miss Poole for their energetic and persistent work. A Joilg pull, a strong ptirt and a pull all together i6 what launched the Barge a week ago last Saturday, and just tiie same kind of an effort is what is going to secure a railroad. Sumo of -these fellers who said the barge m-ver would be launched again can smoke the above for a week or so. The Pratt Jlou.se i* having a fine run of custom this season.

Dr. Fritz and wife spent several days of the past week With Mr. C. M. Hill. The Doctor's fine pacer, which was taken sick on the way out, lias fully recovered. By the way, Messrs. Hi 1 & Barkcv are building a fine $30 si iirrle harness lor the Doctor, which is to be "the liiiPot" ever turned out of Wauconda. Mr. Eden Whitcoirb lias returned from Iowa. ** Mrs. F. B. Harrison w ill return from the Kast about the 15th. Little Claude Prat t had a narrow es­ cape from drowning last week Wednes­ day, being pulled out of the Lake by Put Lainphere just in the nick of time. Mr. Mott Ford's iiftw residence, just on the erlge of town, will be. when fin­ ished, one of the finest appointed farm houses iu the county. Tlie plasterers are at work and iJ*" a few we«ks we shall expect to see Mott comfortably settled in his new quarters. A gentleman here by the name of John Mnir. indulged in a little harm­ less fun on the Fourth of July. He placed an old pinion between two an­ vils, charged tlie hole with powder and touched it oft. If Bob Ingersoil wants proof that miraclds have existed and do exist, let him come here and find out why no one was hurt. Tlie holes in tlie village building were cIuiiimIv patched up, the holes iti the barns across the way still exist, and a«-e a fitting monument to the exquisite humor, the pure, simple funniness of the gentleman from Wauconda named John Muir. WOODSTOCK. - EorroR Pi.aindk vi.er When did a great nation like onrs have such cause for "fasting and .prayer*' and when such cause for "thanksgiving and praise." And when were prayers and praises anicl thanksgiving so universal. Even unbeliever* In the efficacy of prayer have laid aside their doubts and have unreservedly sent up their petitions to the. Throne of Grace, pleading that President Garfield raigfit be spared to this nation. Them has been no partiznn, there has been no factiouist. Guiteau' lifts "itood alone, of all these fifty millions, and deMred that his damnable deed might be justi­ fied and prove fatal as by him planned .ind intended. But what weighs liik plans, what weighs his desires, in the balance which stands 50,000,000 to 1, and that 1 a fool too brainless to be stamped with insanity. And what shall be his punishment? Hanging is inadequate and will only feed the van­ ity and self conceit of one who, with­ out asingle confederate, without a sin­ gle sympathizer, sought notoriety by the attempted assassination. There was a custom among tiie Koiuans, if we remember.ancient, history rightly, to punish a murderer by placing him in an air-tight leather hag with a viper, a dog, a monkey and a cock, and throw­ ing him into-the sea. But such a pun­ ishment would only" .flitter Guiteau's vanity while vet he lived with thoughts of the notoriety it would give him.-- It were better if it were in the power of man, to guarantee to him a thous­ and years, of vain youth, add a thous­ and fold to his love. of notoriety and vanity, deprive him of every vestige of ability to do harm.or to hold the slighest intercourse with man or beast, place tiie stamp upon him marking his crime,deprive him of all sympathy from the outer world ami force him to earn his bread by tlie sweat of his brow and turn him loose a wanderer without relief or hope of remedy. Frequent rains and oppressive heat impedes tlie haying which was well begun, but makes corn leap for joy. The ca«e ot' Wright vs Brown brought before Esquire Johnson by change from Esqiiire Baldwin, was decided in favor of defendant. A.W.Smith for Plaintiff, C. II. Donnelly for Defend­ ant. I it the case of Greenwood vs Najthan Towne for tlie assessment of damages for laying road across defendants farm jury failed to agree, ten for .$250 and two for 8200. B. X. Smith for Plain­ tiff. A. W. Smith for Defendant. Mr. Towne had offered the commissioners to take $£00 rather than make himself trouble and expense or the totvnship cost. But the commissioners only offered at last 9150. Thus in order to keep from Mr. Towne the sum of $50. the difference between them, they have made their township well nigh a 9100 costs and call it economy lor tlie township. And tlie end is not yet. ••The Democrat, in noting thanks to il. Kckert for liberal present of "gaiv den sas"say "it is more blessed to give than to receive." Well, boys, yon should have eaten more cautiously.-- Garden sas is apt to make ones bowels feel as though it were better to--give than take, especially at this heated season of the year.
