J.Hopkins was in Sycamore looking lifter matters of interest both in con­ junction with his law practice and his Congressional duties. He is brim full •od running over with his old time #aetgjr and enthusiasm,keeps on excel* lent terms with all the powers that be Jn the executive department at Wash­ ington, and although of opposing poli­ ties, really manages to have about as ttoch or Indeed more influence with this administration than some of his predecessors bad with an administra­ tion of their own party. 'The Apaches ambushed a detach* .JBent of soldiers In New Mexico the 'lather day and killed the entire number without any loss. They htve terror* tsed the entire territory, so It seems, although there are bat thirty-two h os­ tites. Seems queer that the government oontiuoes to allow that old fossil Crook to monkey with the Indian question after the manner he has been following for several years back. The President Iwuld put bis time to better advantage byiMlStlng on the utter extinction of ItdiMfs on the warpath, or, better, tboee who leave the reservations, than to take up so much time discussing the ' Tehauntepee ship railway scheme. f9"On the threshold of another year It occurs to us to remark that a good many brilliant statesmen iiave subsi­ ded In Illinois since a twelve-month ago. A protracted legislative session served to slaughter ofl a large number of comets which had biased athwart the political horizon. One year ago what golden destinies seemed to be awaiting Eugene A. Sitting, David Trexkr. and Hank Ruger; Where are they nowf Whete, it not hopelessly flattened out? There, too, was E. R. E. Kimbrough. arid Qutucy E. Brown­ ing. and* Edward L. Cronkrite, and Clayton E. Crafts, and Henry W. Leman, and Thomas C. MacUillan. an<l Thomas O. Donnell, and id genus omne--some of them bright fellows and full of stir and promise, but how they were shriveled up by six months In the legislature! The most melan­ choly spectacle, however, ts Elijah M. Haines, the man who had the whole state at his feet a year ago What an autocrat he was then, to be sure ! Oh, how majestic, how despotic, how awful! Yet we Hurt him at this time wrangling and wrestling around in the mud of a measly little McHenry county village over a one-horse postoffiee -- shorn of hi* Samson Ian locks and di­ vested of all his pristine dignity. How sad it all is! Wtiy a year ago he was as chipper as a 2-year-old colt be­ hind a band of music; now he looks like a government mule hauling a load of pig Iron.--Chicago Newt., A Tennesee Democrat, wjio it not altogether In harmony with the Ad ninistration on the Civil Service question, says that it was the inten­ tion of the party to go ojUy a little way In that direction, and Mr. Cleve­ land has goue altogether to» far. He says the situation reminds him of the story of the monkey the sailor brought hntne to his wife. The morfkey got to be a honsehold pet, and was always about tiie kitchen when the good woman was at work. The yard was full of chickens, and every now and then they would come into the room to pick up the crumbs. Whenever they became too mush of a nuisance the good woman would throw a few grains of powder in the fire to frighten them out with the flash. OIIO day the sal tor's wife was away, anrl the monkey undertook to run the kitchen. He watched the chickeus very carefully, and when the kitchen was pretty well filled with them he took down the powder horn and tlrrew It all in the fire, blowing himself and all the sur­ roundings sky high.-- Washington Star. . v fflp*Cleveland Plain Dealer'. Silver ' ffelaage was suspended once before by 'I trick, and It took a hard battle to have it restored. The silver men should refuse to listen to any Insidious suggestions that it might work to Ir Interest to suspend again. They raid stand firm in the strong poci* that they now hold.

Hon. A. J. Hopkins has already prepared one bill to be introduced into Congress, which Is designed to benefit his constituents in the dairy districts. It is a bill to place all man­ ufactured substitutes for butter and cheese on the list of articles to be taxed under the internal revenue law. The bill provides for a tax of ten cents pound tor all substitutes for bntter, and three cents a pound for substitute* for cheese. It also provides that all such articles shall be branded with its name, such as "butierlne," "oleomar­ garine," etc, Imposing severe penalties when such articles are put on the market without being so branded. The tax is to Ue paid by stamps In the same manner that the tax on whisky and tobacco is paid.

FROM THE FATHER: a duty for me to state to yon the beoeAt I have derived from the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. • Six months ago I was completely covered wttfc a terrible bumor and scrofulous sores. Tbe humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commcnccd tbe use of the SARSAPABILLA in April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respect --being now able to do a good day's work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell tbem, as I have here tried to tell you, AYEB'S SABSAPARILLA. Glover, Vt^ Oet. 21,1882. Yours gratefully, HIRAM PHILLIPS."
