Everything Indicates that they will make a No. 1 article. THE Northwestern Railroad are sell­ ing tickets to Chicago this week at excursion rates, on account of the great Musical Festival being held there. Tickets will be sold from this station, from the 23d to the 25th, In­ clusive, to Chicago and return for $2.50, good until the 27th. ^yrBuRGLARS forced an entrance into ^Smith's Jewelry Store, in this village, last night, but failed to secure any plunder for their pains. They gained an entrance by prying open a window on the North side with a pick, which instrument they left, (probably in their hurried departure,) as a memento if what they might have done. BEUIXBEK, this world of mirS was not made by chance, but for a purpose. We chanced *o drop into Blake's Fur- wlture store, in this village, and found that lie was living for a purpose, and that is to make every one happy, a«u regards quality and price of .furniture.

He keeps none but the best of goods, and sel's as low as any other store in the county. Look out for his neifcr advertisement next week. • • * THK Pratt House, Wanco-nda, one of the most popular hot els In Lake county, has just beeu undergoing thorough re­ pairs from, cellar to garret. It lias been papered, painted, whitewashed, eight new rooms added, and all fur­ nished with new furniture, carpets, etc., and is now in bet ter shape to ac­ commodate the public than ever be­ fore. This hotelis Istept up In first class shape, and no matter whether you stop there one day or a month, you are sure to go away well satisfied, both with your treatment and tare. The Rolnl* de-Pratt. is certainly an honor to that thriving little village. ' THE May parly at Riverside Hall on Friday evening last was attended by about fifty couple, ajid all who attended report a verv enjoyable time. The mu­ sic by til* JanesviSle Light Guard Band was .pronounced by every person pres­ ent as being simpiy immense. The music was tine, their change# new aivl splendid,and in short al] say that it 1" the best band that ever played for a party In this village, without a single exception. Btsides being good niu«ic- Jans, theyare all gentlemen in every senxe of the word, and will dlwa3'S b* warmly welcomed by our citizens. We understand Mr. Wightman has engaged tliein for his Fourth of July party. This insures the Riverside House the best music in tlie northwest, on that occasion. ISAAC WKNTWORTH, of the McHenry Brick Manufacturing Company, who, it will he remembered, held the position of Superintendent in Pullman's brick yard, at Chicago, last season, received two dispatches from there last we^k, asking him to come on immedi­ ately and take his old positidn. This he, of course. Informed tin.'in was now one of the impossibilities. On the clos­ ing of tlie Pullman yard, last fall, Mr. Wentworth did expect to return there this spring, but by a low, underhanded game, the particulars of which we have not learned, his place was given to an­ other, au«4 now after so slior; a time, but when too late. Mr. Pullman sees his mistake, and would like to rectify it. If, by making himself'a party to a mean, underhanded trick, Mr. Pulluiati has beat himself, no one will feel sorry for him. Mr. Wentworth is an efficient aud faithful man, and has, with other gentlemen, started a business here that we think will be remunerative. H. II. NICHOLS, with his usual enter­ prise, is fixing up his store, next door to the post office, for the summer trade. In a manner not to be surpassed. He has just put up a new canvass awn­ ing, on which can be seen fii(large let­ ters the words "Ice Cream and Restau- rant.,? This not only answers for a sign but is highly orivimental to she front of his store. He lias also just purchased a large icecream freezer, of the lut-st and most approved pattern, and as soon as our WIBW storms are over will furnish ice crearti in large or small quantities, to satisfy all. He has fitted up the room in the rear of his store in splendid shape, put in new furniture, and in short has as fine a restaurant as eaii he fouiidlu the county. He keeps all kinds of fruits in their season, can­ ned jroods, tobacco and cigars, aud is d>lng a large aud increasing business. It is a place we have long needed in McHenry. and we are' glad to aee It wMI patronized. BOY WANTED.

I \ What other prominent members of the "SotithworthgieiiiKiit" combination can you tell me about ? Tjhls one, my son, is the "General.*' * Why is he called the "fJeneral^w Principally, my boy, because his name is frequently found on hotel reg­ isters with "General" written before it. What Is a General ? A General, my son. Is a man who leads armies on the bloody field of bat­ tle, and fights and bleeds for his coun- try. Did tlils^General" ever lead an army on the battle field? No, my boy, the army that he lesd was on the bloody field of an invalid camp, wblelt he commanded at Ehnira. N. Y., for about two years, during the last war. What has he been doing sfnee he came Home from the war's ? He has principally been engaged in ^bossing" the McHenry county ring. What is this ring? It a combination of;corrupt pol­ iticians and office biokers, who formerly run the politics of this county. . •" Don't they do It now? No, my child, they got "set tWwn #u'* a few years ago. - What has he been doing since the ring got '"set down on?"' \ To further his political designs hn attached himself as the tail to an ex- Congressman's kite, and has an office in ChicHgo. What docs tills ex-Congressman do? He is a lawyer, my son. Is the "General" a lawyer, too? Yes, my boy, he is a sort ot a "shys­ ter" lawyer. ( Is the #x-Congres*man a shyster lawyer, too? No, iny child, he is quite a respect­ able lawyer and stays, in Washington. Docs the "General" do much law business? | No, my boy, his office in Chicago.and all the law business lie does> is irtpf^ly for a blind which enables him to follow the business of a ward politician. Then lie has got through wltli -pol­ itics in this county ? He claims not, for it is only lately that he said tj»at eliis county always goes just as the present coin bin at Ion says it must go. Does the "General" hold any office? No, my child, but lie has got a man hold in? an office for him in the Collect* or's office In Chicago. Who is this man? It is the junior publisher of his Woodstock paper, whose editor is the mau that I was telling you about not long ago. Why does this young publish*?hold the office for the "General?" Because, my boy, lie was of no use In the printing bfth-e and was williug to pay the "General" Hberal'y l«»r the privilege ol holding the office f.ir liini. Did that affidavit, - that you was spfeakiug about the other day, have anything to do with till* matter? Yes, my hopeful, that affidavit was drawn by the "General." and stated that there was no hurg.-tlu or sale in the transaction spoken of. What did tills publisher have to do with this affidavit? He swore to It In-fore "Jnlitw Sterii.* Who is "Julius Stefii?** That, my son. is what "i:o feljer can find out." What kind of a inrn is the ,lGeii- eral?" lie is* a very smooth, oily tnnyrued. immaculate sort of a man. Wears good clothes and presents a very dignified appearance. NOWADAYS, when a subscriber gets so mad because an editor differs with him on some trivial question that he discontinues his subscription and stops his paper, we remind him of a good anecdote of the late Horace Greeley. Passing down New paper Row. In New York Cltv, one morning, he met one of his readers, who exclaimed: "Mr. Greeley, after the aiiicle yon pub­ lished this morning. 1 intend to stop your paper." "Oh. no," said'Hr. Greeley, "don't do that." "Yes, sli, my mind is ir<ade up. I shall sfojp the pap«r." But llie angry subscriber was net to b« appeased, and tliev separated. Late in the afternoon the two met again, when Mr. Greeley reniarke(l: "Mr. Thompson,! am very glad yoy did not carry1 out your threat this moj-nlng." "What do you mean?" "Why, you said you were going to stop my paper." "And so I did. I went to the office and had the paper stopped." 'You are surely mistaken; I have just come from thera and the press was running and bigness boom­ ing." "Sir," said Tliompsonf very pompously. "I meant I intended to stop my subscription to your paper." "Oh. thunder!*' rejoined Greeley. "I thought you were jpolng to stop the running of my paper and knock me out of a living. My friend, let me tell you something: Oue man is just one drop of water lu the ocean You didn't set the machinery of this world in motion and jou can't stop it.- and when, you are underneath the ground, things upon this surface arill wag on the same as ever." WE would call particular attention to the new advertisements, to be found in anothet column,of H Maiman,Merchant Tailor, E. W. Brocks, Fancy Grocer­ ies. C. L. Pratt, dry gobda, groceries, etc., and Mrs. Tfdmarsh.Milliner, all of Waticonda, which can be found In an­ other column.

William took his little premium and went home happy. Some good work is being done In different parts of our city repairing broken side walks. Most of this labor has been needed lor some time past. The fair grounds were used for base ball purposes bf the youngsters ou Sundays--that Is Uftil .Superintendent Palmer ordered otherwise. Decoration Day will Ige observed In this city. At a meeting One night last week committees were appointed and now we expect eyerjtliltig will move off In good order. • Calvery Commandry if Knight Templars for this city, attended di­ vine services at. Harvard on Ascension Day. They speak higMy of their treatment while at Harvard and were well pleased with the sermon preached by the Rev. A. A. Fisk. Rector of tlMfc Episcopal Church of that city. When you want to insure your prop­ erty do not forget the old reliable Hertford Insurance Co. They are prompt in settlement as will be seeu by the mantifer In which they settled with Mr. K. Sessions, who Is the own­ er of the building in which occurred the recent fire in this city. The Hart­ ford is represented here by *Asa W. Smith, who Is a veteran in this line of business, and has nothing but choice companies to offer to insure your prop­ erty with. There were three entertainments from abroad In town last week, enm- piencing with the Hyer Sisters Mon­ day evening, Flor«»c« Herbert's dra­ matic company Wednesday evening, and Liiidsey Comedy Company on Saturday evening. The first two were well attended, that of the Hyer sisters drawing a crowded house, although the poorest lu every respect. The en­ tertainment of Saturday night was by far the best and cannot be compli­ mented too highly as regards respec­ tability, performance and everything that goes to make up a first class trav­ eling company. They al-o were greet­ ed with a good attendance. Miller the baker, will not May down even when he Is being given a kick by three or fcur persons with more money than brains and devoid of all decency and the least particle ef principle. With nothing to back up their sneak­ ing and cowardly Insinuations except pet theories, emanating from a dis­ eased and dlsordered spot running all through their cranium*, these misera­ ble wretches have a habit of prowling abeur, attending too*her people's l»us- Ilies* and «ettin<{'thetflselves up as de­ tectives, their vivid Imaginations (al­ ways the ease with cranks) conjuring tip anything to suit their personal de­ sires when atcenipriug to kick and holn a man down that they have a bitter hftred against, which is easily 8eeu In tills instance. If these real cunning, self constituted, wnuld-l»e detectives believe they have the fiend dead to rights that tried to hum up Phoenix Block, why In God's name do they beat around the bush? Why not come out manfully and charge him direct so that lie may lie punished if guilty, as he cert ;iNilv should he, or ••liable him to prove, even to their sat­ isfaction, his innocence, for we have not heard a soul our community, ex­ press anything hut contempt and loath­ ing for the two or three Individuals who have been laboring incessantly since the first attempt to hum Phoenix Block, or one portion of it, to prove that the man of all others whom it is the most unreasonable to expect, con­ sidering all the circumstances con­ nected with the case, did the damnable deed. It is more in order for these gentry to commence "to explain away the statement" made by Mr. Mille>. which appeared In last week's Demo­ crat. and to aid them to use their mouth-piece and reflector, the self- styled leading paper, the Sentinel, whose columns would likely belch out more- slime and throw an immense amount of mud, as It has been doing for the past mouth or so on other mat­ ters.

HOWE Has just returned from the city with a lull line of Spring and Summer Millin­ ery. to which she Invites the especial nitentioii of the ladies. Her stock of Rihtions, Flowers, and Ladles* Furnish­ ing Goods generally, was'never more icmnplete than now, and she Is confident that she can please all who may favor i^rwlth a call. Call and see the u«w tvles and learn prices. Mrs. E, W. HOWB. It would appear to an outsider that the Congressional canvass Is being en­ tered on rather early In this district. Possibly the Interests of the different candidates demanded lt,bnt we aaspect certain other affairs precipitated tlie fight. A long canvas* has this advant­ age --- it may be made most thorough. The people are not so easily driven like sheep by self-constituted party leaders, as they used to be. They are begin­ ning to "see Into things." to get behind the scenes and tuvesMgate'the machin­ ery by which the political puppets are made to dance on the stage -- and they are getting into an uncomfortable habit of setting their honest feet dovfn on professional Hngsters. Tricksters and wire pullers. As one of the people, not an aspirant for political place,or f.tvor, we shall fee! It a duty during the pres­ ent canvass to occasionally dl*cuss the situation in H spirit of fairness and can­ dor. without any "mud slinging" or personal animosity towards any man or party of men. So far asj at present developed It would seem that we are to have a tri­ angular contest between Messrs. Slier- win, El I wood and Smith. Who "made up the slate" we know not. It is fash­ ionable hereabout to charge It upon the •'Wood%tock ring.*' whoever or what­ ever that may mean, but It Is ottr opin­ ion that there is more than Woodstock brains concerned in it. Be that as It may. it is plain to any one who looks the ground) over, that the one prime object in view is to beat Mr. Sherwln, at whatever cost.. We are firmly con­ vinced that this hostility to Mr. Sker- ivlp is not shared in by the people nt largfe, but Is confined to a few so called **sore heads" and their immediate friends. No Congressman can represent a constituency'of varied.Interests, and please all. It is in the nature of things th:|t he makes some enemies in minds where personal Interest weighs more than the public good. But the honest man and true patriot should look be­ yond mere |>ersoual Interest, and be above all personal spite. The office of a Congressman Is something greater than that of a town constable -- it is ot national importance, and a man who has filled that office wlr.li ability,con­ sistency and honesty, as Mr. Sherwln has, should not be kicked out for slight causes, aud least of all til rough personal malice. We fearlessly submit his Con­ gressional record to the people of the district, who have.watched htm closely and know what that record is It is generally conceded that ro new man has made a higher mark or gained a more permanent influence in the House than has John C. Sherwln. He has been true as steel to the principles aud pol­ icy of Republicanism, which a large malority of the people of this district beNeve to be essential to the national weal. The experience he has already gained In Congress, added to his un­ disputed original qualifications,, adds greatly to his promise of future useful­ ness. No inexperienced man can fill Mr. Shet win's place, though that man's natural ability rnjiv be unquestioned, t he old Democracy could teach Repub­ licans a valuable lesson. It was the poiicy of that party to stick by a good ipau when fhe3' got him, so that their representation in Congress was not an undisciplined rabble of Inexperienced legislators.but a band of veterans, with thai skill in debate and that familiar­ ity with parliamentary usage which can be gained only by long service, and which often made them triumphant, even with large odds against them. We need legislators of experience. Will this district perpetrate the folly Of coutlr.uallychanging its representative, when that means to be virtually with­ out experienced and influential repre­ sentation at all? Brother voters, we ought to bo more wise. There arc plenty of mien whose heads are turned and whose judgment is dazed with the Idea of "going to .Congress." These men may be our personal friends, and would rejoice in their advancement; hut we should consider the public good of more consequence than any man's personal ambition, no matter how warm a friend that man may be. Turn the ruibject In any light we may, and we see no good reason why Mr.Sherwln should be retired and any Inexperi­ enced ca dldate substituted. And now a few words on the candi-* dacy of B. N. Smith. For Mr..Smith we feel the warmest personal friend­ ship -- and we have reason to believe that friendship Is reciprocal -- but for reasons abovo given we cannot support liifn for Congress. Were he our own brother we should feel the same. And there are other reasons weightier still to a personal friendship, aud the friends of Mr. Smith sheuld understand those reasons. There is every reason to believe that he is boiu£ made a tool of by designing politicians. They do not believe he stands much of a chance in the nominating convention. They hope that county pride will give him the McHenry county delegation, but that is all they can hope for. Ellwood is tlie man they expect to beat Sherwln with. It has already been openly boasted that the McHenry county dele­ gation Is to "trade" on. Will that dele­ gation be "dumb, driven cattle?" Mr. Smith is being led on to political sui­ cide, and his friends ought to see it. Already several strong candidates are in the field for the Judgeship he now holds, and under the circumstances some ?nc of them will probably get it. That lost, and the chimera of a Con­ gressional nomination vanished, aud he is effectually retired from public life for some years to come. Are his real friends ready and willing to see him slaughtered in this way, that a f«*w malcontents may gtatlfy their malice by beating Mr. Sherwln? The propo­ sition made to call 'the Congressioi.nl Convention before the Comity Conven­ tion* so ho can becomelt candidal# for re-electHm to the Judgeship, || he fails of the Congressional aomiMtlon, Is sharp enough in those who are running the machine, but It will not save hiss. The other candidates now canvassing the connty will have seen red support enough to beat liiiu. Again we Say, he is being led on to political saidde. Will the voters of McHenry connty be­ came a party to the schemes of a few discontented politicians who cannot use Mr. Sherwln lor their own purposes, or will they manfully stand up for tin­ man who has represented Jtfcem honest ly and Willi more than ordinary abil­ ity? The caucusses will give us tbeir answer. Thursday night, Dan Kilborn lost a good hotse by sickness and death.

Under certain propositions made to Mr. Tryon lie did refuse to be­ come a candidate. He Is'acandidale for the-Legislature, only if he can be so. uutratnmeled by any pledges that will compromise his honest convictions, or hinder him from following Independ­ ently those convictions in all his acts, to their logical -sequences, If he "has got to sell out his friends or buy out his enemies" he is not a candidate. If he cau go into the canvass in a manly and honest fashion, then lie is In. That Is the position he holds.as we understand it. Between him and others in the field the people must decide.
