While we remained his guests there was nothing omitted by hini8els,-hls excelent amiable wife and Son and Daughter,.to render jur three days sojourn with tberm Agree­ able and pleasant. On Thursday we were treated to a ride' through the village and suburbs. The village of McHenry is a neaf, tidy, beautiful vil­ lage with now and then a spot la the form of La^er Beer signs, whiclv we hope the thrifty population of this rising city, will esteem it an honor for the benefit of humarity, not long hence to wipe out. A* we passed down through main street we were very forcibly reminded of a visit we niada this sAnie above mentioned friend just forty years ago. We remember that Mr. Wheeler led us. to the resting place and introduced us to the Noble Red Chief who sat peacefully in his rustic Chair of State presiding over his retiring people. On Friday we spent the day in visiting the celebra* ted Fox Luke and surroundings. This lovely sheet of water, its romantic scenery, preparations on its rugged banks for comfort, the unloading and re-loading of those busy little Steam­ ers of their human freight, indicates Unmistakably that the future of. this place is bound to rank with the most popular summer resorts. In the Close it becomes to say that this tour will ever be remembered as one "of those bright rays in our existence. Many thanks for all those kind contributions.

The yellow fever, which broke out iu New Orleans some six week* since and which ha« been gradually extending its terrible circuit until a number of cities and towns along the Mississippi are in­ fected, shows little signs oi abatement. In New Orleans alone there have been 1,673 cases and 534 deaths; and new- cases xre repor cd every hour. Over 5(1,000 people are said to have Aed the city. The people are pa.nlc stricken and great snlleriiig-prevails. In Gre­ nada. Ui« f«ver is constantlv spreading, and the inhabitants fleeing to the country. A recent dis- jmtel) ft'ow there MJ'» th<* &tuio«phere i«*o foul that betif rott In less Hun an hour on exposure ro the air; that 150 now lying in agony; and that wl»$t is needed is good nursing; that the fjestd are j»o longer buried in grave yards as the burial corps is dis­ banded. Corpses are now being buried in adjacent fields, and in.soine cases in front of the houses in which they die. In Jackson. Miss., everybody who can is leaving the city for the country, but the fever is. reported as spreading among those who Aed to the country. The fever is rapfdly increasing in VlckRburg. Four physicians »re down. h\ Meuvphis lcss new eases are *r<*port- <;d but more deaths. The-gc:it>rul cry frotn all tlio infected cities is for nur- sns. iA^;ui.1atit prpvisions and funds are being received, but good nurses are greatly needed. The Howard Asr sociatif.n Is doing a noble work, and deserves the highest praise acd tlie heartiest support. . YELLOW FKVKK. -Tills terrible scourge is making fear* fill h^voc in the South. From New Orleans, Memphis, Grenada. Vicks- burg, and other plapes, come reports of its ravages, The population' have fled in terror from these places so that lit some of them the number has been reduced one half or tuore, Jn Memphis one thousand army tents have been erected at Camp Joe WiJlifinis, south of the city, and it is believed that many lives wi|J be saved by thus gettiug them out of the in­ fected districts, Jn some planes the disease Is report­ ed as abating from lack of material to work upon, the iufected districts being kft aimost without inhabitants. The population of utenada had • been reduced by death and flight from twelve hundred to two hundred, the whole number of des^hs up to Sunday l$st being sixty-three. Of the two hundred persons remaining in the plaoe, only forty were well. ,rrhe disease has obtained sucU a foothold in the infected places that there is no hope of rooting it oqt until the frost .puts a/chocfc upon it, Iritis a terrible give-away, re­ marks the Hawkeyc% when a temper perance lecture, pausing in a speech to take a drink of water, sets tbe glass v!own lazily and reaohes out toward tbe end of the table for a couple of coffee grains.

The following is the Platform adopt­ ed by the Greenback ConventiottTheW at Elgin August 14th. Whereat, The so-calHrd' Democratic and Republican pnrties hflfve leg Mated1 iti the interest of the money power of this country and of Europe, therefore we assert our complete independence of said parties, and declare »»n» com­ plete Independence In, and adhetson to the National Greenback labor Party; and Where<ts<, The several financial crash­ es wliicli have occurred ii» our own. country are conclusive jxrix/f that tiie so called specie basis is a frand,an im­ possibility, and ako proves that our litianciai system is not i»>keeping wit,h our general progress; Whereas, The financial legislation of Congress has depreciated all kinds of property except .government bonds and notes secured by mortgages and trust deeds on real estate, and as the l»w of this State now authorizes the forclo- srtre of such mortgages and trust deeds by publishing notices of the sale o-f the premises so mortgaged, Either on de­ fault in the payment of the interest, ov on the maturity of the notes, without giving the right of redemption either to the mortgagee, his heirs representa­ tives or assigns.'or his unsecured credi­ tors, in consequence of which great injustice is often done, and for which there is now no remedy at law; and Whereat, Such financial legislation, by a system of contraction, ^ tne most unnecssary, unwise, and injudicious that was ever devised to impoverish a free people, has paraiized the indus­ trial interests of the' country* bank­ rupted productive capital engaged in legitimate mauut'aeturiug, enforced idleness and pauperism ou thousands of honest working people, and has ab­ solutely confiscated a large portiou of the mortgaged property of the country and to which there is attributable the preseuce of the trump and the Infant luutteriugs oi* the communists ery for bread, all of which must iu the nature of things inevitably lead to anarchy tnd confusion if carried to their legi­ timate results, and that the following are the principles enunciated to guide us iu the goveruuieut of the state aud uation: ^ v 1. The greeubaek^dollar must be a full legal tender fnr^ tlie payment of all debts, public and private, and by the government issued, protected, and received as absolute money. 2. We declaie that ull acts of Con­ gress changing the original bond con­ tract, to-wit: of 1869, lo70 and 1873, and Che resumption act of 1875, were enact­ ed without consent, priority or pro­ curement, and were, and are, • frauds upon t<ie rights of the people. 3. We demand the repeal ot the na­ tional bank act; iho Immediate with­ drawal from circulation of the nation­ al bank note?, «'»d t!rc substitution therefor of greenbacks. 4. The equal taxation of all proper­ ty owned by individuals or corpora­ tions, all persons to pay taxes accord­ ing to the amount of property owned by i lie in, free of debt. 5. As political siiflferage Is the prim- alive element in the construction of law, we demand that any person or organization of persons who may be convicted of trafflcing iu votes, or in any nianner, directly of indirectly, de­ signedly Interfering wjtli tucli rights, shall be incapacitated for voting aud for holding any official position fit the United States. 0. We denounce all forms of repudi­ ation as a national crime, aud the na­ tional honor requires tlie payment .of the public {t)deb£ed{ies* in the utmost good faith to all -creditor* at home and Abroad. 7, That we will not support any uian for any <iQlce who is tiot iu full sym pathy aud accord with these reso- tiuions, and will not pledge himself to support the same. 9. We demand that the government land* be reserved for actual settlers souly, 9. We deprecate all eftorts to re­ dress wrongs by violation of law, and believing that through the ballot box alone must we look for justice. PATRONIZE THE PAPER.-- Newspa­ per patronage, remarks an exchange, has as many colors as the rainbow, and 19 as changeable as the chamelon. One man comes in, subscribes for the paper, paye for it in advance, and goes home and reads It with proud satisfaction that it is his own. He hands in his ad­ vertisement aud gets the advantage thereof. This is patronage. Another man asks you to send lilm your paper, and goes oij without say­ ing a word about the pay. Time flies on, you are in need of money, ask him to pay the sum he owes you. He flies into a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps stops. This iff called patronage. One man brings In a fifty cent adver­ tisement and wants a #2 pufl thrown in and when you decline goes ott, mad, Even that is called patronage, Oue man likes your paper, be take* a copy, pays for it, and gets his friends to do the same; he is not always grumb­ ling t& you or others, but has a friendly word. If an accident happeus in that section he informs the editor. That is newspaper patronage. One hands you a marriage notice and asks for extra copies containing it, anil when^ou ask for pay for the papers he looks surprise J and exclaims: "You surely don't take pay for siioh little matters." This is called patronage.*--; Spencerport Journal, WASHINGTON ooasraruNmoiOK WAStllKdTOV, |>. c., August 28th, ISI8L There is no place in tlie country •tore Interesting and instructive to visit than the Rational Museum iu this city, better known as tlie Smithsonian Institute ; and although numerous and very valuable additions were made to it ctarthg tlie Centennial season, its most precious acquirement has only yUeIy been gained., being presented by »gentlema>t* front Frantce. This Is minature portrait of JsMites Snvlahson,. Blie founder of the fnstkule.. It is the first and only liketiess of 114m* that has ever been in the possession of the mus­ eum, and already It has been photo­ graphed and executed In crayon, and the latter picture will be one of a group of three that will hang in the Sinlthsouiau, the othefr two being crayons of Professors Henry aud Baird. Another attraction the museum has presented of late Is a family of garter snakes,, the mother and ten or fifteen little ones, which, though not hatched front eggs as some speyievof mwkes are, will glide into their mothers- mouth and down her throat at the approach of an apparent danger In the iuosli ap­ proved fashion. ° Iu these days of tournaments and matches Washington is not behind.-- Notwithstanding the warm weather and the dull season, we Itave had base ball, walking, riding and swimming matches In the last fortnight, A lady walked a mile on a 925 wager to beal Berthn Von Hlllerirs best time, which she easily accomplished. A young nntn swam to Alexandria--seven miles dowu. the Potamao--the other day In |a very short space of time. A new and com­ mendable feature of profitable amuse­ ment has eouimenced operations this week, In the form of a swimming school. * Washington ha* scarcely a notable left within Its precincts. No con­ gressmen of course. They are only too glad to be away after being tied here for 10 months by a continuous legisla­ tive session. Aud just now the Presi­ dent and all his Cabinet Members, save the Secretary of War, are out of town. Geul. Le Due, the Agricultural Com­ missioner, took charge of the Presi­ dential excursion to Minnesota, for which 160 invitations ware Issued.-- Transportation is to be free but each member of tlie party must pay 72cis- per meal. Special palace car* will be used and the trip must needs be a most enjoyable one. General Shermau is another of our big bugs, now absent, having gone on a trip to New Mexico on the ostensi­ ble purpose of Inspecting military posts, though it Is avered tyy some of his friends tha/lie has, In reality, no object in his travels than to rest and endeavor to throw oft a burden of grief aud disapointmeut Into which he has been plunged by the step his oldest and favorite son has recently taken iu leaving this eouuiry to become a Cath­ olic in Europe. It Is said that the General has grown wrinkled and old and.gray itKtlie la§t ifew weeks. His wife, is Well ku.rva* i» a devout Catholic aud doubtless her -very strong influence was brought to (bear upon the son "when he made the decision to enter a monastery. His father was not apprised of his intentions till his pas­ sage was taken for Europe nor did father and son meet before the latter sailed. The second and only other son Genl. Sherman Intends for the Army, and the boy, only thirteen, has read the entire military history of the world and Is well versed In all the Impor­ tant military movements of the late war. Mrs. Sherm an ft perhaps tlte , most prominent Catholic in our country.-- Her name is familiar to the Cardinals at Rome, and she has long been tlie custodian of the "Peters Pence" the Pope's income from the U. S. QfcfVB. A few Parasols at still farther re­ duced prices TO GJose, at FITZSIMMONS & Eyaxsqn^S flfiyBeu Butler, the fox, doubles on his course, to deceive the houuds and throw them off the soent. He publishes a card denying any understanding with the Communist Kearney, implying that he is not in sympathy with that uncomfortable person.'*Then his imme­ diately prooseds to call upon Kearney at the maternal mauslori, and holds a secret interview with tho Pacific agi­ tator. Now, Butler cannot hold with the hounds and run with the hare in this way. If he is for Kearney and Communism, and is prepared to accept a nomination from the Natlonal.Green- baok Labor Party, let him avow It. like the bold man he nsually fs. And if he finds that his new associates are leading him to far into the wilderness, and he desires to get back to the beat­ en track and safe methods, let him say that. Ben. Butler Is said to be aliarp [ and tricky, but be cannot fool with ^Kearney and escape with a whole cai- cass. ¥ ttHf Ihit StoMtng Joipt m K««wi Sow# Itme since Geo. W. Hamilton^ of tfreiJomtt 2?.

Natura appears to have been btisjr beyond her wont in I'^l&elng fhe treasures eon- sut|ted Jn the strife of war, and amid the illusions -produced by a false sys­ tem of finance. The benefits aeenring from these expanded sources of wealth have been distributed amdng the mul­ titude. Tbe industrious and frugal coming to the front( the adventuresome and speculative are being driveu to the rear: the chances of tbe few to ac­ cumulate large fortunes, suddenly, are diminishing;similarly the opportuni­ ties of the many to acquire a modest competency by steady and pffsistent effort are on the increase.
