The question of a soldiers' monument in Lake County is to be discussed, and, if possible, some plan agreed upon that will carry the project to a successful conclusion. The occasion promises to be certainly not less enjoyable than the re-unions of former years and as the location for the cainp o:i the eust bank of Diamond Lake is a delightful one. there is every reason to expect a large and enthusi­ astic gathering. „ The Wankegan Republican savs: "A poor girl who peddled pencils arounnf tho Board of Trade in Chicago, fell deeply In Jove with Mr. Charles F.

An Iowa paper iu spoak- ing of him says: That "Blind Jolin* is not only the peer, but the superior of Rll-ud Tom, cannot he questioned. He is truly a prodigv. We can scarce 1V comprehend the wonderful music*! powers of this blind man. He is much ijiore intelli­ gent than Blind Tom was, and is a ready composer and fine performer.

C. II. Tryon, in the town of Hebron. Our object was to hunt prairie chickens and we guess every prairie chicken iu the county knew- we were out and gave tis a wide berth, as we only suc­ ceeded in coaxing four sickly chickens within the range of our guns, an i they would not have been there if they had been able to-get awav* When three double barreled breech loaders were discharged at one of these weak birds, it generally surrendered, (but not al­ ways)^ To tell the plain fact it w'as not a.very dangerous plaeo for birds around those prairies, but-If they had been in Captaii- I'ryon's cellar. It ini^lit. have been different. The inci­ dents of the d$y were many, but all will not bear repeating. For instance, we won id not like to tell which one of the party had the accident, on the barb wire fence ; nor about that other one who continually insisted that all Mie chickens were near the school house; nor about that gun t+iat was discharged before we got out of the village in the morning; fill these things arc to mem­ ory dear, hut we're mum. Suffice it to say we had a good day's hiuit, and came home feeling better for our day out. tired, but not hungry, as Captain Tryon and his estimabife lady, allow no one who calls on them to go away hungry, and for the very handsome man::er In which we were entertained while there tliey'fejl 1 ptcase accept the thanks of each one of the party.

ONE day la>t week we%made v visjJL to the premises of Chauticy Beckwiil and were somewhat astonished to find that he was quite an extensive gar­ dener. He is making this season a specialty of onions and re/f peppers, and in both he has as fine a/show^s we ever saw at this time of year. In the onion line lie has the "Early Queen," the "Silver Skin." and "Early Pan- forth." and if there is any variety that bea?§ either of those named, we must confess we have never seen them. His onions and picklesHie sells mostly to the Factory. Mr. Beckwith is not a Dook gardener but works hv a practi- coinmon-sense method. a«d -tliat the result proves successful is evidenced by the big crop raised.

It ha* been g*me tine since 1 told you about any of^the Southworthglennoii combination. Yes. The last ourf you told me abouj; was the Abstractor. I will give you a short lesson to* night my boy, about the man who did not arrest the party of cock-fighters from Chicago at Crystal Lake. Is be a proipinent member of the combination? - " No, he's a sor| of a liange^-On. Well. I thought he looked as though he didn't amount to much anyway. I wish you would tell me what this man had to do about the cock'fightin'g you spoke about. Well, you see, my child, Rome time ago a party of very wicked men came from Chicago to Crystal Lake with a lot of fighting cocks and hired a hall and set tliem to fighting. The Sheriff of tills county was notified of this disgraceful aflair, and was called upon to go there and arrest these wicked men for breaking the law. . Did he go? Ye«, my son, he summoned a posse of about twenty men, and proceeded to Crystal Lake with them. When he got to the depot he threw out. hi- skir­ mishers.and cautiously advanced on the works of the enemy, giving them a chance to hide every bird they had there before he got to the hall. What did lie do when he got to the hall ? He first looked about him to see that his posse w.us well i u hand, and then stepped inside the door and pompously exclaimed: "Gentlemen. I AUK"the sheriff of McIIenry County and I want thlc thing Stopped." What did the "gentlemen" say then? They coolly told Itiin to go to h --1-- I mean the hot place, my boy. Did lie arrest them? Yes, lie told them they might con­ sider themselves under arrest while lie went over to the hotel with the prin­ cipals and fixed the matter up. Did they fix it up* By the way the glasses jingled in the private conference room, my boy. it is supposed that they did. What did he do then? Well, you see, my hopeful, he wer.t back to the hall and told some of the posse that they would all go home; that he had their word for it that they would not break the law any more. How did the posse like that? They did not Mem to like it my child, and thought the word of these wicked men did not amount to much. However, they were under orders and obeyed theni. Did the ,/wttiked men keep their word ? No, my son. for the posse had scarce­ ly got out of sight, before these bad men proceeded with their brutal sport. Is this mai| ti^ian ? Well, qiy hov, if continual hankering after an office makes a politician, lie Is one. Has he ever been elected to an office? Ye*, my child, an 1 tho time he was elected he just got in bv the skin of bis teeth, and run greatly behind his ticket in his own town, and in the last campaign he tried to get the same ofliee again and got badly gut down oh. How did it happen-? Well, you see, my hoy. he was backed by the Southworthglennon Combina­ tion and every man Phey backed got left. What was this man's business when he was not holding an office ? A«k m« something easy, my son. Then what did iie do to pass his time? He had two or three places where he sat around talking about his neighbors' business, which he seemed to know all about. Is he a good men? One would think he ought to be, my son, by the professions lie makes. Is lie a snfart man ? Well, 1 don't know, my boy, he ap­ pears to be a very wishy washv sort of a man, and 1 have often heard it le- marked that he did not know enough to pound sand. Well, what is he good for then? As near as I can fudge he is best adapted to holding dawn ohaiis of any­ thing I know of, Has he got many friends? - He might have, my boy, if he did : not go back on theni. You promised me that you would tell me more about the editor. 1 will do so. my son, but it is getting nearly bed time anil we,will put it off uiitil another time.

Congratulations. R. Peck, Burlington, Vr., has bought Fran.. Wrav's fine, black carriage horse, and will take it back to the Green Mountain State. It will ,be a^good thing for tlje Vermonters to see a first class horse once in a while. Wm. Besteder had a lively runaway Frlday^ornlng. when on the road to Richmond. The horse become fright­ ened at some large stones which have lately been deposited beside the turn­ pike. opposite Thomas Thomson's. We hear of another horse badly fright­ ened by them. They ought to be re­ moved. . So many parties are going to Twin Lakes »>ow-a-davs that it Is hard to keep track of all of them. Picnic par­ ties from the village are frequent, and the country for dozens of miles around contributes its quota to the pleasure seekers frequenting the lakes.

Impossible} All the neighbors say the "addition" which Mr. Sherman is building ts at the south side of his house and not on top of It. Sherman says so too.

As the time approaches, every man who has any­ thing worth exhibiting, should begin to make his preparations to go and take ids exhibit. There Is hardly a farm, or even a garden in the County, that lias not raised something worthy of being shown and that would add in­ terest to tlie fair. At most fairs a few enterprising men make the greatest number of eXhibi tc. This ought not to be so, for the success of the fair is of consequents to every man in the county, and ever}' man should feel it his Individual duty to contribute to that success, not only by his pi>esonce at the fair, but by contributing what­ ever product he may have to the arti­ cles on exhibition.

W- Mpad, Rictinuma, 111, CI MS FROM THE GAZETTE'S GRAM­ MATICAL EIUTOR:--"G. W. Eldredge and John McConnel have so far broken over the general custom as to put Sii.OOO into a pickle factory. It is built as solid as possible--just as the above mentioned men always are--well light­ ed with glass windows all around, so it will be a pleasant, to work, and as a re­ sult better work will be done." How far did Messrs Eldredge and McConnel have to travel In order to find tlir.t pickle factory? What did they put 95,000 Into It for? Hadn't they any other place to Ptore their money? Again,can we bejieve that Messrs. Eldredge and McConnel are "well lighted with glass windows all around!" Astonishing! If they are thus provided with windows, they are live curiosities. But how handy! If either one of them has a stomach ache, he can Just look through one of his windows and investigate the offend ing stomach! Happy Eldredge aud McConnel! Or he might just sliove up the window aud tak^e an extra cucum­ ber or two from Ids stomach and stop the ache without anodyne or physic! Happy Eldredge and McConnel! But we don't see how the windows are go­ ing to make a buffoon of Mr, Eldredge or Mr. McConnel. Yet the Gazette says "so it will be a pleasant to work." Consult your dictionary. Would it »©t be a grand idea for those working 011 the road to make it a point to remove all loose stones which are hauled in with the gravel? Almost every hill Is covered with them and they are only a nuisance, causing damage to tlie hones and vehicles aud vexation to the persons therein. Eith­ er remove tliern or bury them.
