Up- • t on talking over the situation it was tlfcided that there was yet "hope beyond." and with a little good advice to the "young •fRcer." the multitude .Alcpprsed without mapping out any definite plans for the coming conflict. n Envoy. y ̂ NMS«nator Logan, of this Stste. .h|» introduced a bill In the tauate. the - mbstance of which Is embodied in the v-ftrilowlng paragraph taken therefrom: - •< - "To appropriate and expend the en- '^Hre Income derived from the internal revenue taxes on the manufacture and •ale of distilled spirits for the educa­ tion of all children living in the United States.

One or two of the boys employed took brief involuntary baths In the lake, but no serious accidents occurred, though the cold and wet to which all are nec­ essarily exposed left some with severe colds. Mr. and Mrs. Goggln have ret'iraed from a trip to lewa and Nebraska. 1 Benjamin Grovener, a son-in-law (of Mr. John Grey, and a former resident of Wauconda. was killed at the Elgin Foundry Wednesday night.

Her body was brought here for Intefment. Mr. Havens, formerly manager of the cheese factory, is visiting in town.

A good time and a generous contribution is expected. The brilliant efforts of our Volo brother last week created quite an excitement In our little town. Though forced to sonfess that It Is one too many for us to comprehend all at once, by taking it slow and in sec-, tions we hope to get on to it In time. Only the unfortunate people of Haines* vllle are said to be afflicted with thig "monomamacal fever, causing them to u§ Qiiltc Vuluulu, uiiu luii«liy ill mutter incoherently something about railroad.'* otherwise, we might think a prominent symptom had developod In a Volo sufferer. We grant that there was some railroad talk in Wau­ conda last fall, but our friend Is a little off In his statement that every person had this fever, i. the fever he describes with Its idiotic symptoms. If any one had It, It certainly was In a .modified form, - In uddltf«^» w- «%vr pleasure we take in expressing our ad­ miration for the superlative talents of our friend, onr duty to Wauconda com­ pels us to correct this unintentional Inaccuracy on his part, due, doubtless, to irresponsible reporters. Another item upon which Wancon- dians anxiously desire Information Is the composition of the wonderful spe­ cific said to have been doped out to eacli patient by the venerable land­ lord of our hotel, and called, "Moun­ tain Dew and Tanxy." Mountain dew may be an etherlal. gaseous substance, checking undue volubility on a homeo­ pathic principle, but the object of the tancy completely gets away with us. Woodgfeick Department. SttLAYED.

A stul Ink Well com< Eixtok Pi.aindkalek:--In your Greenwood correspondent of week be­ fore last we find the following: W. A. Itaker l* the owner of a valua­ ble relic in the shape of a Spanish Sil­ ver Coin bearing date 1763. Coin val­ ue about 91.10. It was paid to his grandfather for servittes rendered as barber direct from the hand of Gen. George Washington, during the war of 1812. His grandmother. "Grandma Dake," still lives ns a witness and has just passed her 99th birthday Jan. 1st, smart and healthy. Now Grandma Dake was presont In the barber shop and witnessed the pay­ ment of said coin to Grandpa Baker by George Washington during the war of >813. So site was probably at that time the wife of Grandpa Baker, and as we have seen Grandma Dake's name in the various papers of the county as the stock In trade of the correspond­ ents. if we mistake not we have heard that she was forty years old at the time she married Grandpa Baker We also see by said paragraph that she is now ninety-nine years old, but by a lit­ tle mathematical calculation from said date she must be at. this time one hun­ dred aud ten years old Instead of nine­ ty-nine. Again by refreshing our memory we find that George Washing­ ton died in 1799 or thirteen years prior to the beginning of the war of 1813. which establishes beyond a doubt the theory of spiritualism, since here we have positive evidence that George Washington was in a barber shop, pre­ sumably to get shaved, thirteen years after bis death.

Wo be­ lieve he goes Into the livery stable business in that city. Since our last communication Wm. Allen, residing ne:ir this city. In the town of Hartiand. has buried the child that we had heretofore mentioned as being very low with diphtheria. This is the third sou this family has lost by that horrible disease within the last few weeks. The one that died last was tke youngest of the children. The community in which the greatly af­ flicted family reside, and all that are acquainted with them In this city, and their friends here number a host, deeply sympathize for (hem in this tholr hour of trial and affliction. Our Concert, which took place at Murphy's Hall last Friday evening, was a success In every particular and drew a large audience. Nearly all the parts were sustained, by home talent. Court adjourned the latter part of last week. The ice harvesters are now bnsy and are getting a much better crop than they had expected. O. H Gilmore will deliver the third lecture In connection with the dime lecture course, Friday evening next at Murphy's Hall. Subject, '"Facts and Truth." As Mr. G. is a very pleasing speaker be will no doubt be greeted with a full house. And this time it is Yankee Sherman whose countenance beams with unmis­ takable sign of being more than pleas­ ed. It is a boy. and Yankee did the handsome for the boys oue day last week. The correspondents of the Harvard' Independent and McH*'nry Plaituiealer are having considerable amusement at the expense of the juuior editor of the Sentinel, who now holds a clerkship in the Custom House In Chicago. Ihese greedy pencil shovers had better look a little out. great bodies of water move sTow I v.--Mc Henry Co. Democr i t. Just so boys. We are not posted in regard to the future movements of the fellow that writes for the Independent but we are preparing with all possible haste to be ready to move West at a moments warning or before the tre­ mendous bodies of water shall thaw out and come rustling down upon us, because wc are well aware the torrent will be a terrible one. There is just one thing you.do not seem to under­ stand. boys, and that is that all the amusement is not at the expense of the junior editor of the Sentinel. The real fun is to see General 8., walking hither and thither upon the crowded thoroughfares of Chicago, like one be­ reft of all reason, dodging in here and there, sometimes approaching the sol­ id man of business that knows nothing about government clerkships, and carcs less, endeavoring to get his opinion as to the shauces of that vidian. C. L. Curtis and his friends. 8iie0*c«ihi& iu «fk»n Vtlie and the individual that holds1! it in the office of Collector of Customs^at Chica­ go. and which he. the General, pro­ cured. and is trying to keep for his protege, of course. These solid men of business do not know the junior ed­ itor of the Sentinel have never had the pleasure ef even hearing of such a personage or such a paper, but just now the General imagines that the whole world knows the Sentinel, Its editors and hlmseif, and for once the usually bland, cool headed and silent stalker about, (the General,) is certainly more than a little off and has and is now be- iug made the laughing Stock of nearly all that comes In contact with him.-- But the P. M. is just as urbane as ever. Nothing ever disturbs the phlegmatic tetoperment of that ponderous official. And then comes that old war horse In the political affairs of his county, who just now lias business in Chicago for a few days or weeks only. He is not ac­ customed to city life, and finds it rath­ er difficult to find the Ins and outs, but is doing the best he can u<;der the cir­ cumstances, although not one-half as big a man there as upoi) his native heath. Thi» character also aids ma­ terially in the line of amusement on account of his extreme verdancy away from home. .PERSONALS. Mrs. Eugene Rich, wife of Conductor Rich, of the lanesville accommodation train,and Mrs. Miner, of Janesville, Wis., visited at Mrs.David Miller's, in this city, one day last week. Mrs. P. H.
