IS" The Elgin Advocate has made Itself ridiculous the past few weeks in -attempting to manufacture public sen­ timent In regard to post office matters In Mcllenry County. Its abuse of Dr. J. Q. Adams, of Marengo, one of the #tiiunehe*t and most reliable Republi­ cans In the county, shows that they are being used as a tool by some ma­ lignant slanderer, or they are the big­ gest liars unhung Where Mr. Adams is known this slander can do him no harm. We would advise the Advocate not to worry in relation to our affairs, an McHenry County is amply able to take care ot herself. According to a Denver paper Sunday the thermometer registered 97 degrees in Cheyenne, and the next day In the same place the „$now was six inches on a dead level. This induces us to accept as a true story the story of a Dakota man, who went into the yard to thaw out a pump. While working OK A NOP A HKCKLKTS BIRTHDAY. EDITOR PLAIVOKAI.ER:-- I notice that some of your correspondents mention the Birthday Party of Grand­ pa Beckley, that took place on the 17th Inrt. at the residence of his yonnge«t eon. L. Beckley. Being one of the guests I will merely say that a large gathering of old friends and neighbors was expected, and was only prevented by the extreme inclemency of the weather, raining, as it did, from early morn until late in,the (lay. The child­ ren, grand-children and great-grand­ children were mostly there, and some of the invited guests braved the storni and put in an appearance, but the com­ pany seemed Small in the capacious parlor? of tint host, yet all seemed to try and remedy the lack of numbers by social converse, vocal and instrumental music, intermingled with rich jokes and apt repartees. The watts and mantles were resplendent with flowers, but not until we passed into the dining room did the artistic beauty of the decorative art show it­ self to perfection. Conspicuous upon the wall in evergreen letters was the injunction to "eat, drink and be mer­ ry,"' and if I could judge it was fully complied with. A beautiful wreath of flowers extended entire around the table, while numerous vases of floral beauties adorned the centre, and as to the edibles, why--why Mr. Editor, there myst have been more than seven baskets left I am sure, after all were satisfied, to say nothing of the bi­ valves. When the company was seated at. the table av appropriate1 communica­ tion was read by Captain Beckley, and after repairing again to the parlor* some poetry written by Miss Cl tra Howe for the occasion was read. Mtis'ic and dancing were in order in the even­ ing, but the only event that interested me in this line was, to see the aged sire of the occasion lead his great- grand-daughter, (Miss Lillie Grary) on the floor for a dance. The music struck up a march and thus we had the first and fourth generations dancing to­ gether. The united ages of three of the oldest persons present was 265 years--and here I bid them good night. The following is the paper read by Captain Beckley: fiends and Neighbor*:--We have ate by name all the avenues of im­ provement, but it will be sufficiently explicit to say that the magic wanrt of progress has been impressed upon every avenue of thought. For one moment let your minds try to compre­ hend all the changes that have been crow vied into his life vie'v*. Imagine j'ourselves standing upon some suffic­ iently high clevaticvn to enable you to look down upon the changing pano­ rama of the last 03 j'ears. What a sight to behold! What a view pre­ sented itself to our \islon! But such my friends is but a poor photograph ot the picture1 indelibly impressed upon the mind of our aged father. We wish to thank you all for meeting with us to day on such an occasion as this. and.can only hope that years of happiness may yet be yours, ami the full fruition of your fondest tiripes be realized. Remember the Old Reliable -PLACR TO-- BUY FURNITURE ! ftt the pump lie had a sunstroke, and tils friends took sunshades and started ' J"? , conK r* t-. , i illations on this the »3d birthday of our to carry him into the house, but before j aged father, and ivliil* t liu« enmrm»n. his they got him to the door the poor man was frozen to death. Those western fieople have some remarkable weather «rvome remarkable liars. t^Treland is in a ferment. For a long period it has had no such good friends in the British arovernment as the Gladctoue administration now in power. TSe land act introduced by it* and passed by Parlament, was an lion- effort to redress grievances, and it had a right to expect a fair trial. But that Is not the wish of the agitators, ^rho are the worst enemies of lrelaid, aud Mr. Parnell, who takes the lead, tiM made every effort to prevent, though prominent bisliaps aud priests accepted it as a beneficent measure. Mr. Gladstone, in a speech at Leeds, fearlessly exposed the conduct of this demagogue, contrasting it fotcibly with the course of O'Connell and other noted Irishmen. Chafing under the censure. Mr, Parnell became more vio­ lent than ever, and so evident was his (letermination to incite the easily-dis- affected people to outrage and revolu­ tion, that the government ordeied his arrest. He Is now in prison, aud the attempt will be made to excite sympa­ thy for him as a martyr. If only some influential Irishman could now with .true patriotism calm the passions and control the violence of their excited countrymen, and give a period of repose and peace to the Green Isle, what a boon it would be.

My.Joneg, that dog of yours gave me ar> awful rrigl.t last night. As I wag passiiijr your house he came tearing out of the yard, barking and yelping like all possessed." Jones --"Oh, he won't hurt you, Fogg; he's perfectly harmless.*' Foga:--"Yes that's what [ told Mrs. F. this morning. He's perfectly harmless. He bean to luting hiui on his long and eventful life, let us think for a moment whft important changes have taken place during his lifetime, putting in an ap­ pearance. as he did, 93 years ago. or in 1788. in the JState of Connecticut, when our country, our nation, was yet in its infancy, when ihe Western frontier was found !n the eastern part of the Ktnpire State. Think of it! The West but a few mile? this side of the Hudson River, which was then one large unexplored solitude. While yet young he became a pioneer in the West, and located in Chenango County, New York, then mostly a wilderness. But the "Star of Empire" waited not. but in twelve short years had pushed frontier back and back to the Great Father of Waters, when lie again sought his gripsack and turned his face Westward, locating, as it was then thought, in the extreme West--In the State of Illinois, where we find him to-dav. But let us note more partic­ ularly some of the improvements he luu been a witness to. aud first let us speak of the facilities for traveling, be ginning as he did when the lumbering stage coach offered the only feasible method of mingling with his country­ men. Fulton had not then solved the I important problem of propelling boats I across the East or Hudson River by | steam, which were then moved by j horse power. Internal improvements j had not yet dawned upon the minds of j the people. But how i* it to-day? All j within his recollection. Starting out I when days, weeks, yes months were consumed in going short distances, wliiie to-day the continent is spanned ! w til st<-e , Miid bu' a few hours are re- j mi! red to go from the old Conm-i i h ut j Plains in the East to tlie jumping oft" | place in tlie West, almost without fa­ tigue, sitting quietly in palatial hotel cars, propelled by unseen agents with almost lightning rapidity. And what other means of coinniunication had we then? The U.S. Mail was then in its swaddling clothes, aud each letter cost the receiver twenty-flve cents or more, and tia>s, weeks, months, yes years elapsed ere a reply came. Think you that it is any wonder that Uncle Sam's eldest born shnuhi be of slow grow th? But to-day our messages cost but a cent, and are conveyed from the enti­ tle to tlie circumference of our land in a few moments or hours at most, while Woodstock, i our thoughts are flashed along on wires w ith electric speed. From ocehn to ocean, from pole to pole, these changes have taken place under his own obser­ vation. Yes, we may say lie began his reaping with the oid'hand sickle, but is finishing it up with his cleaned grain pouring into hi* half bushel. But perhaps one of the most potent motors of progress that have been brought to light during his lifetime is the press. What it was 03 years ago, we need liardlv ask. Very few papeis were then printed in this county, and very few copies found their way to the people Books were brought from the Mot her country to enrich our store of knowledge such being our only re source, but as the morning star of sci­ ence hid not yet shed its benign ra\s upon our land, our literature partook more of the theological than of the philosophical, for the iron heel of priesthood had left deep 'indentations in the plastic minds of our people, but the press, the beacon light of progress began to shed its ettulgerit light around inspiring hope and opening new ave­ nues of thought; thus gaining more strength and power, while greater de­ mands were constantly being made upon it. But we will not attempt to follow its progress step by step with the increasing years of our country, hut will con lent ourselves with view­ ing its mighty proportions to-day--a power iu our laud that no mind can estimate. Books no longer meet the grow ing wants of the age; nothing hot what comes fresh from Ihe press every day will satisfy the extreme thirst for news and whatever event may happen within the borders of this or any other land to-day will he laid fresh and crisp upon our table in the morning paper of to-morrow. Such are the facilities for collecting and transmitting news to- diy tlint even distance a..d t ime are almost, annihilated. The morning star of science now illumines with its me ridian splendor every p-irt of our land, and the friction of mir;d upon mind is | constantly emitting gems of thought that electrify and da/ze many, bewil- oni^. and completely upset ma.iy Than any other house in Mc­ Henry county. He litis u better article for less money. But not content with that he has opened the largest aud tmest stock cf CLOVES aad MITTMS, Mens and Boys HATS and CAPS, Iii the greatest variety of styles probably ever seen under one roof in McHenry county.
