BONSLETT, A STOFFEL West McHenry, 111., March 24,1831. Piano Minneapolis £ M Owen & Son's. Self Binder, at A] Of Hon. Chas. WWitney. of Waukegan, at the Old SetuKrs% Meeting at Stuss' er*8 Park, Aug^lsi, 18S4. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: The thanks of our people are certain­ ly due to the officJpof the 01J Settler's Association for fiMmishing the rich treat to which we liAvefjust listened, and af­ ter listening to that treat, what is there left for me to say ? I can but reiterate the sentiments expressed by Mr. Mills in iiis address. | had thought that I would address ra|f remarks more par­ ticularly to the; younger people. A speaker has be en ̂ provided for the Old Settlers and it not be out of place for me to address the young people. I can say but little of the written history of our tifo counties, and shall confine myself to llie unwritten history --that Is nnwrittet) in books, but writ­ ten all over the fwe of the country,and in the hearts of ow people in le tters of living light. Old Settlers! Bow little do we, the younger people, realize the full import of those words. ^ Old Settlers' meetings are held and many young people pnss them idly by. Sucli meetings are regarded by many like any other gathering of our people for social intercourse. But these meet ings ought to be full of interest for the young as well as old. Here we can learn much of the early histor y of the beau­ tiful counties of McHenry and Lake. Here we can do full honor to those to whom we owe so much. On our national holiday, the 4th dfay of July, we meet and rehearse the daring and courageous deeds of our forefathers who founded our glorious government. On many days we assemble In beautiful groves to commemorate our heroes fallen in the wars in which our country has been engaged, and to pay the tribute of re­ spect to those who survived the wars, and who now bear the honored names of veterans of attny life; and why should we not meet to do honor to those grand heroes of civil life who braved the hardships and privations el pioneer life, and made this former wilderness to blossom RS the rose. Roll baek the wheel of tinio for fifty years and gaze With me on a bright August day over tfie broad expanse of fertile prairies of our two counties yielding nothing but luxurious grasses and beautiful wild flowers ;ov«r verdant groves and majestic forests to which the sound of the woodman's axe was not known, over beautiful lakes and winding streams on whose silvery bos- ems no boat save die Indian's canoe had ever been borne, solitude reigning supreme over all. Silence pervading everything except when broken by the drowsy hum of Insects, the wlerd cry of tire waterfowl,or the songs of birds. Such scenes as these met the enraptured vision of the first settlers. The sight was beautiful to behold. All nature smiled on man and bid him welcome. Here was soil of inexhaustible fertility, water piire^a^jp^|lJ^^woQ^^id fathers have lived on the beautiful alone the fount of everlasting life was here. But such WHS not the case, the early settlers came here with but little or no money and few worldly goods, but en­ riched with strong muscles and honest purposes. They had no time to con­ sider the beautiful prospect nature hud spread before them, but must proceed at once to supply the necessities of life. Houses must be built. a:id the giant oaks felled to the ringing music of the axe. Friendly hands joined at the rais­ ing and the huge logs soon fortred the walls that were to surround the settlers family until a better one could be had. The virgin sod was turned to the slow tread of the patient ox and the rich soil responded to the first seed sown by human hands and gave a bountiful har­ vest. and the means of subsistence were at hand. Thus, immediately surround­ ed by his little family, but witli his nearest neighbor perhaps miles away, the early settler spent the first years of liis western life. His surroundings were homely and his fare humble. He had to encounter the malarial air and the,diseases Inci­ dent thereto without the care of a phy­ sician. His wife and his children were his only companions. He had no facili­ ties for market. His grain had to be taken miles to be ground, or pounded, into hominy with the domestic mortar and pestle. Xo schools were at hand to educate hischildreu. He worshipped God In the seclusion of his own house­ hold. Ills burdens could not be light­ ened by social intercourse and friendly communion with his fellows. He. with his family, was left, comparatively speaking, to work out his own salva­ tion, both temporal and spiritual. But amidst all the trials and vicissi­ tudes. the dangers and solitude of his life did he shrink from the future and turn back to the home of his youth? No. Armed with perfect health and iron muscles, nerved by indomitable will and energy, sustained by his faith in the future and aided and encouraged by a noble wife who prophesied to him a bright future for their children, lie bravely toiled on. bid defiance to tiie dangers surrounding him and earned out of the wilderness a comfortable home. They shunned not labor when 'twas <lue. They wrought with right good will, And for the homes they made For th«m their children bless them Still.. And while the early settler sought this country to benefit himself lie was not unmindful of his fellow man. He saw that the burdens of life could be lightened for his and his neighbors' children by education and so lie eager­ ly joined with tils neighbors in the erection of the rnde school houses and cheerfully paid his proportion of funds to employ the teachers. He contributed to religious societies and churches adorned the landscape. « Rigidly practicing the great virtue of self-denial he worked on, caring not for self, enduring hardships, suffering privations that his children and his neighbors' children might enjoy com­ fortable homes, splendid schools and all the benefits of victory. Who can look at the present condition of our country, who can look upon the thous­ ands ®f happy, industrious and intelli­ gent people who find comfortable homes within the borders of onr coun­ ties. and say that the old settlers are not heroes? They fought the battles of pioneer life and were ever victorious. |t Is well to be here. We younger peo­ ple can drink in Inspiration from Old Settler's meetings. We can learn of as valorous deeds as were ever performed on the field of battle or by knights of old. We can learn of a purpose to ben­ efit mankind wrought out by honest , bands uttdor the moat trf iug prlvMidod and adverse circumstances. Yes. heroes indeed. Renew the memories of the dead, pay the tribute of respect to the living. Old Settlers, your course of life is short, but may your lives he spared to the ripest old age. Mav it be your lot to meet again on many occasions like this; May God bless you and keep you. What It Has Done, WJien the Republican party assumed control of the National Government it found the business of the country para­ lyzed, the treasury empty, the credit of the nation almost destroyed, its paper being hawked about the street at a ruinous discount,and treason,dishonesty and incapacity permeating every de­ partment of its administration. The deplorable condition of the country had been brought about by Democratic policy and Democratic maladministra­ tion. Contrast the condition with that of to-day. Within that twenty-three years the Republican p:irty has accom­ plished much. It crushed out treason and rebellion and gave neW¥itality and force to the sentiment,"Llberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable." It gave freedom to 4,000,000 of bonds­ men. It restored prosperity to the Indus­ tries of the countrj' and dotted the country over with busy factories, fur­ nishing employment to the multiplied thousands of working people. It has extended our foreign com­ merce until the nation sold $3,000,000,- 000 more of its products in twenty-three years than had previously been sold from the first settlement of the country to 1860. It has spanned the country with rail­ roads and made the desert place of the west to blossom with busy life. It has given to the' country a staple currency in place of the wild cat issue fostered by the Democracy. It has raised tiie standard ot the na­ tion's Oredit to a point never before attained by any government. It lias paid oil the national debt fast­ er than was ever done by any nation. It has kept t:very pledge made to the people. While reducing the natioual debt at a rapid rate it has paid in pensions to the gallant soldiers who fought the battles of the union, the enormous sura of $20,000,000. Such is the record of the Republican party and administration for twenty- Democracy lias met once every four years, passed columns of resolutions and then gone up and down the country grumbling and finding fault. fi^TJust before Garfield's election Mr. Blaine wrote a letter that has in the light of to-day the significance of prophecy itself. The letter was an an­ swer to inquiries from an Irish-Ameri­ can. and Mr. Blaine said: "Let me say in reply that the course of yourself and other Irish voters Is one of the most extraordinary anomal­ ies iu our political history. Never probably since the execution of Robert Emmett has the feeling of Irishmen the world over been so bitter against England and Englishmen as at! tills hour. And yet the great mass of tiie Irish voters will, on Tuesday next, vote precisely as Englishmen would have I hem vote--for the interest of England. Having seen Ireland reduced to misery and driven to despair by what they re­ gard as an unjust policy of England, the Irishmen of America use their suffrages as though they were the agents and servants of the English Tories. The free-traders of England desire nothing so much as the defeat of Garfield and the election of Hancock. They wish to break doy^n the Protective tariff and cripple our manufactures, and nine- tenths of the Irish voters respond with alacrity,'Yes, we will do your bidding and vote as yon please, even though it reduce our own -vaejes and take the bread from the mouths of our children.' There are many able and clever writers among tlie Irish of America, but I have never met one of them able enough and clever enough to explain this anomaly •n any basis of logic or good sense, am glad to see from your esteemed fa­ vor that the subject is beginning to trouble you. The more you think of it the more you will be troubled. 1 am sure. And you will be driven finally to the conclusion that the prosperity of the Irinh in this country depends as largely as that of any other class upon the maintenance of the financial and industrial policy represented by the Republican party." Some one who probably has had experience thus speaks of a kiss. A kiss is a paroxysmal contact between the libal appendages attached to the super­ ior and inferior maxillaries respective­ ly of a man and woman or two women. The younger the parties are the more paroxysmal-will be the paroxyism aritj in case it be observed by the fond fath»r of the paroxyzed young lady, there is also likely to b£ a peragree be­ tween the paroxvzers pedallie junction and the phalangeal extremities of the metatarsus tarsus and other brie K-brac depending from the lower end of the old gentleman's right leg. The kiss itself Is not paroxysm.. It is merely the vibrations of the superincumbent atmosphere resultant from the expul- sion of sweetness from each of the pair of lips engaged in creating it. |£^*Gath: Their (the Democrats) hunger for office reminds one of the old negro minstrel joke, when in the burlesque on The Stranger, a lugub­ rious fellow enters in funeral garments saying: "I have not tasted food for 19,000 years." "Then," says the cheer­ ful moke who is playing the banjo, •'you can't come to no boarding house of mine." > WASHINGTON LKTTER. From ear Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, August 30th, 1831. Casting a glance along Pennsylvania Avenue, the correspondent or observer who has gleaned ideas from its crowded surface during the winter Is forcibly struck with the fact at present that ' 'there is nothing new under the sun," It Is a very hot. scorching sun, and the fair ladies clad in transparent gauze and the yollow-coated gentlemen are evidently only practicing what the English call the art of doing nothing. Under the circumstances, perhaps they are right. The busy season has long come to an end, and this occupation is certainly better than ennui, about which the Capital's daughters have so much to complain In summer. It is a it&eult thing--this art of doing noth­ ing. A recent issue of a Loudon week­ ly tell U3 that to.be proficient the art cannot be practiced too early. Our cousins from the other side are seem­ ing masters of the art, and I fear our Washington stay-at-home cannot hope to beat them in practice, although the jeuneaaee doree of New York and Boston are in a fair way of emulating them. The result In Washington is not altogether satisfactory, for our dudes do not seem to know* exactly rtiiat is expected of thcm r-and our English cousins tell us that the great achieve­ ment is to appear continually occupied. There are two classes of worshipers at the shrine seen upon Pennsylvania Avenue; the one does nothing in the fashionable dress of the period--per­ haps his clothes Hre propitious to his wishes; the other ' appear to have their hands full; but If you look a little clo­ ser you will see that there is nothing in them, their labor is purposeless." The report that the dear old Talla­ poosa, with all its memories of festivi­ ty, its well-humped bottom and Secre­ tary Chandler's effects, is resting in the sands of Vienyard Souds. caused a wail of regret in official circles. The* old hulk was very much endeared to Wash- iugtoniaus, for she has been kept busy taking naval guests o;i pleasure cruises to Clieaspeake Bay and Fortress Mon- roe. During the intervals between her use as a pleasure yacht,she lus been en gaged in the exciting pastime of run­ ning into all kinds of pleasure craft which hug the Eastern shore. None of her commanders seemed able to govern this caprice of running Into her sisters vessels. For several year# past, when- ottt tier trips, heavy odds have been offered by adventurous betters thatshe would run into something before she reached her destination, and seldom were these bets lost. So successful were her en­ counters, however, that 1 always 'sup­ posed the old tub had her life insured and would never come to such a* bad end. I am told that in the course of its numerou? contacts with the rocks and reefs of the American coast, it ha* received a good many strains that the Construction Department was not cognizant of. and consequently was more readily knocked-out by a five- knot schooner than anybody could have expected. Moreover, she is said to have had some twenty or thirty com­ passes on board when she sank, and as these compasses probably all pointed iu diflerant directions, it is not strange that Secretary Chandler's spike-tailed coat is now water logged iu Yiueyard Souds. I wonder what Secretary Chandler will do for marine headquarters now. If he only had the authority he mi^ht buy Mt. Roache's Yoseinlte at once, but perhaps it would b« in better keep­ ing with the Navy to hire a raft or a catamaran, something with all its works above the water. As an addition­ al safeguard against collison with rocks or sister craft it could be provided with improved electric lights and bur­ glar alarms, and it might be as well to have small balloons as permanent life preservers. President Arthur has showed his wisdom in always traveling on the Despatch, which is a trim little Govern­ ment steam yacht that it is true, has consistently sometimes been aground, but, I believe, has carefully and prud­ ently avoided serious collision with any other vessel. It is enough to aggravate .the inild natures of the Democratic congression­ al committee to find that they have been industriously firing broadsides which were intended for the enemy into their own ranks. The clerks have been carefully circulating Republican campaign documents among the faith­ ful of the Democratic household. Through some sort of blunder, docu- meuts intended for the Republican committee were sent, folded and ready for addressing, from tho Senate fold­ ing room to tho Democratic committee They were franked wltholit inspection, andsent broadoast.lt might even up things if it is discovered that the doc uments which the Democrats supposed they were mailing have been sent out by the Republican Committee. Such are the vicissitudes of political life. THE cost ot pure Baking Powder, made from Grade Cream T;irter /4nd Bi-Barb Soda, is about double the cost of the average brands offered for sale. DeLatid's Chemical Baking Powder is made only of Grape Crenni flarter and Soda, and instead of prize packages, and loud advertising, they seek to give the consumer full value, full weight Try it and you will find it true. Not For Money. In New York they are trying to send William C. Rhinelander to the insane asylum because he loved his wife bet­ ter than he does money. That is what the much-talked about case amounts to if the later developments are admitted to be the truth. From the testimony of Mr. Clark Tuesday it seems that Rhinelander secretly married an Irish girl in the service of the family, and when the marriage became known to liis mother and grandmother they en­ gaged a lawyer to negotiate a separa­ tion. There were no grounds fof a, divorce, so the newly married ones were to be bought off. Clark was authorized to offer tiie wife #20,000 down and an allowance of 83,000 a year as the price of giving up iter husband* and he was to receive a million dollars* the amount left him by his grandfather1 but if he refused to leave the wife ho should be disinherited. The proposi* tion was made and rejected by Rhine- lander and his wife. Then Lawyer Drake was employed to alienate the wife from her husband, and for this Rhinelander shot him. This is the story in brief.Mid seventl . "expert" physicians have gravely pr*»- nounced the young man insane, ai.*d ad­ vised that he be shut up in an asylum* To the bulls and bears who strug over the almighty dollar in Wall street Rhi nelanders action may be an evidence of insanity, but to thfe world at large lie will appear as one who had the courage to refuse a fortune when If comes as the price of love and honor. Now that the truth is known, would II not be well to release Mr. Rhinelander and place the lawyer on trial? teaT'The following which we (nd la the Rochester Union, Is worthy of be­ ing read and pondered over by the classes to whom it refers: In every city of this country there are many young men who were raised on farms* and think themselves too smart to spend their lives on them. They 8ay the world owes them a living, and they ' think the debt will be canceled In the cities. There is no more room for idlers in a city than there Is on a farm* A young man without a trade will find it harder work to make both ends meet in a city than on a farm. Then farm lias uone of the temptations to a young man that city life lias, and men who have left their homes in the country to make one in the city, fall easy prey to I|MM T*iuptati«ms. The criminal class receives most of Its recruits from this class of young men, who coming to the city thinking they are too bright for the farm, fall into bad company, and are lost. Young men on the farm« take our advice and stay here. Don't think you are too brilliant for it. The smartest mail that ever lived did not reach perfection In farming; and as he was not too smart, there is no probab- lity that you are. „ ^ A % . . . ,g Working Aroanrt a Point; * i About the 1st of July, says the Wall Street New*, a Chicago fruit-buyer went over to St. Joseph, on the Michi­ gan shore, to view the peach-crop pros­ pects, and he found one orchard owner who was feeling so very blue that he said to him: "Now then, I'll give you a check feir $1,000 for your fruit as It standb." "No, I couldn't do it," replied thf ) grower, after some hesitation. "IV would seem to be doubting the Lord.1* Two weeks after that, when the pros­ pects were still poorer, he appeared In Chicago and said he guessed he would take the $1,000. "But it will be doubting the I*ord«" said the buyer. "Yes, probably it will, but I've cow* eluded to doubt him on peaches and make up for it by hanging onto 'taters and cabbage." 8£3r"Well, my dear," said Deacon Jones, as he turned his paper, "did yoa see this obituary notice uf Elder Smith's death?" "4I glanced over it a minute, but didn't examine it minute­ ly," said the deacon's wife, "What !e there about It that strikes yon?" "Why do they put that Latin or Choctaw la an obituary notice?" "I didn't see anything of the kind, what is It, my dear?" "Why it closes with 'Requele*- cat in pace.' Now, what in Sam Hill does that mean?" "Pshaw! that's easy, ole man. It means that he re­ quired his cat to pace." "Ob! so it does," said the old man. "Ho* easily one can bo mistaken! I thought ,Re<* quiescat in pace ' was the brand o f t lsp ' liquor that killed him."-Pari# Beacon. > - ' - A My colonel," said a ybnng loolc»% Ing veteran. '*was a big German.
