One colored man is out in a card denying that he voted for Pocket-book Walter. I i pect it is so, but then it is a mistake; book hasn't had his election yet. Messrs. Jackson and Land have shown themselves equal to the demand by rpening a new skating rink where all may enjoy themselves irrespective of color. No pains are spared to make the rink first class in every particular, and we recommend all ' who are in search of such enjoyment to give them a call, for they have shown themselves worty of patronage. The rink is on Siuth Center street. Jarius. Springfield Illinois. Jordan Murray has returned home after his trip to Champaign. Miss Clara Dulf celebrates her sixteenth anniversary to-morrow. Rev.

They served their first meal at 1 o'clock on Wednesday labt at which time they made a grand display of their wedding silver. Mrs. Clara Henry and Mrs. Lucy Hatfield were among those present for dinner, and a hand of welcome they add, is extended to the Leader, and it is read cheerfully by both. The Grand Lodge which met in Jacksonville last week ha.s adjourned bnt before adjourning they resolved to incorporate and locate their head-quarters at some permanent place. Springfield, possessing all the good qualities that should characterize the home of Lincoln, stepped forward and demanded that they locate here. Elias Rollins, Henry Brown and others advocated it. Peoria said she wanted it but was persuaded out of the notion to give away for Bloomington, who claimed it because it was the home of David Davis. After considerable discussion Springfield carried off the prize and out of appreciation of the honor conferred on our city, our local lodge has bought ground and intends building a temple to be ready by the meeting of the next Grand Lodge in this city. As noted in last issue Miss Anna Uglesby celebrated her sixteenth birthday Oct. 16th. Her young friends on last Monday evening tendered her an old fashioned surprise. The party first gathered at Miss Coleman's and when the hour arrived for them to wend their way to the home of the young lass, about twenty-five were present and nad it not been for the disagreeable weather the crowd would have been much larger. They

J

arrived at her residence about nine o'clock and it is safe to say everybody was surprised not only Miss O. but the party themselves, Miss Oglesby was surprised to see them and thev were surprised to barn that th ,,n,

Äfi'!; h! ! in thb district and the fact of their having kept this one surprised the boys greatly. Mrs. Oglesby opened the door and invited the crowd to the hospitalities of her house. It was a very joyous occasion. Despite the bad weather a goodly number assembled at the house and the rooms presented quite a happy and lively appearance. The music, both vocal and instrumental was well rendered and added greatly to the pleasure of the evening. Young Walter's guitar was almost in constant use throughout the evening Mr Henry Sappington being the favorite guitarist. The table was filled with palatable refreshments wnicn were testimonials to tne nomesticsKiit of the fair young ladies and at the proper time they were 6erved by a bevy of lovely young girls.

Last Monday was quite rainy but the Odd Fellow's Aniversary was a success in every respect, and evry one who heard G. M. Thornton's address says it did him credit. After the speaking was over the crowd adjourned to the hop which was on the North side of the square, and had a good time. Every thing that a person could wish for was on hand and served in the best of style. Mr. J. W. Cain proved himself more than capaLl f 1 f iL . 1.1 ! -r-r White.

Burdatt Ice-Cream Tarn. One evening, I don't remember when, I introduced a young fnend of mine, and he is very young and very bashful, Mr. Julian C. Eiginbrod, of Buffalo, to a young lady acquaintance. After a few moments of society chatter he suggested the ice-cream saloon. Then she rose and introduced him to her two school-girl friends, her mother, the

mother of one of her friends and an aunt who was visiting them. Then the aunt introduced bertoher elder sister, and an old lad7 who w" not a relative, they explained, but was as dear to them as though she was

esse? x wsr"-a. Ä . is readyr and answered themselves in the affirmative, as they slowly followed the horror-stricken young man to the door, and the procession filed off down street toward the ice-cream saloon, stopping on the way at a bouw to pick up the old lady's daughter, and calling at a store for the twin cousins of one of the aunts beautiful girls they were from Springfield. I watched the column when II swung "by fours right into line" in front of the icw cream saloon, where it formed like a line of men at a railway ticket office: the old lady smilingly and patiently bringing up the rear, standing under tbe nickering gaslight and the steadfast stars, awaiting her I chance at the frozen pudding. It was far, far in the summer night -when Julian Elginbrod returned to the hotel, and. when I looked out of the window and saw his pallid face and glittering eyes, and noted the club in one hand and the revolver in the other, and heard him mention my name and ask the night clerk what was the number of my room, I feared that he might feel harshly toward me. and I barricaded the door of my room with the lounge, the bedstead, the stove and tbe trunk, just before he came banging against it. He slept in the hall that night, across my tbreshhold, and I only escaped tbe next afternoon, when the landlord, aweary of his incessant pounding of my door panels with his club, bad him arrested as a dangerous lunatic. How ever, this was not at r an tucket. Ob, no. this" wesi, not at Nantucket; this happened in Connecticut, three years ago. 1 Plak-Eye. The community seems to be kept in perdisease has been transmitted from St Louis to our city. ; Such fool rumors remind one of the old l0 crv and little wool as Himper saia wnen shearing nis nogs." on seeing the St Louis scare-crow, and another in the NW8 1 started out to see our city yeterinanans, hoping that they had better sense and judgment than to take one of the svmDtoms I of disease for tbe real disease, and. am happy to say. found them not such fools. I first met Dr. Greaner, then Dr. Phillips both denied seeing any such disease, and scouted the idea of any such, and denied the existence of such a disease. On my way to Dr. Pritcnard's office I met that gentleman in the street, and on inquiry about his experience in such a disease received as an answer that he met a few cases .of inflamed eyes, not amounting to much if I remember correctly. Just so; such are met with, and will be as long as horses are subject to lnI flaramatory diseases of the eye like the I voor mentioned in the Scripture, those we have with ns all the time, and will continue. I am glad, indeed, that the three and I agree exactly, and have sense enough to know the difference between pink and red and an inflamed eye from one of the symptoms of well known constitutional diseases. Sunday morning, however, while enjoying the repose of serenity from the fell destroyer of our equine race, hoping that the- ebb tide of quackery had cleared all apprehension of danger from our shore, the Sentinel came to our door laden to the guards with pink-eye. In the name of George Washington and the continental congress, have we somebody seeking cheap notoriety, or is it no more than a penny joke? Hoping it is the latter we will take it in fun; but will say that it is high time that the public should tire of this thing of merely seeking the assistance of newspaper reporters in trying to climb above their capacity in any branch of business. Of course the reporters can not know anything wrong about the design, and they are welcomed back to the office with their store of valuable news as a See laden with honey is to the hive, but the news is not worth the ink on the paper. And now I say to the general public, this phantom pink-eye is no disease at all of itself. out symptom or effect of other diseases, such as influenza, complicated with influ enza catarrh, or strangles, or both, one being an inflammation of one or more parotid glatjfv The other an inflammation of the so' naaxiliary, and the other of the thoratic or ' uc is membrane. ; - . . 1. V'odd, a very able English writer, in a boo' .vritten by him, says: At an early peri J when the veternary profession was in it fancy in England, epidemic catarrh, mnue- za ana strangles were termed oinkh. lcks whenever the eyes became inSm? andlt apPear the 8tick to it to the present. Dr. Spooner, another eminent veterinary surgeon and writer, savs: Speaking of epidemic .tarrh, the bowels were not much disturbed, but the face8 were enveloped with a tbin.slimy niucus.butin many cases the affection of the eyes was so violent as to amount to temporary blindness; and adds: jEdematic swelling of the legs was enormous. We have had sporadic cases of tha present 8 care-crow, bah in this country an J Europe, to my certai.. knowledge, in the last forty seven years. Either in 1842 or 1843 we had it all over the British Isles. I was then in Ireland, and no man was ignorant enough to call it pink-eye. Tbe most formidable case of combined influenza and catarrh I ever met was a young mare of Commissioner Montgomery's of enemy county, Indiana. Bhe was found standing in a fence corner, her legs so much swollen that it was utterly impossible lor ber to bend them sufficiently to walk from the orchard to the stable. Her eyes were so badly inflamed that the conjunctiva tim traded beyond the eyelids, presenting more me appearance oi a rose, not a pink, but a red or scarlet rose; the eyeballs protruded at least three-fourths of an inch, minute fibers of veins burst, and a stream of blood continued to flow from one and a continual droping from the other. Hoping that we shall have no further i . scare, and that every man seeking notoriety will seek it in some other way. perhaps bv I OTira iu win diiu, aim convince more Ik.i 1 I .

McGrail was found in the northeast part of this city this morning. Evidence shows that he was going to the United States Garrison, having enlisted tn the army a few days before, and was set upon by three or four men and brutally murdered.

AN AUTHORS' OPINION. London, Oct 18. Gold win Smith writes: "Native Americans are holding aloor from the dynamite Land League movements. A I 5U I. .i .1.. 1 1 1 Americans wish justice done Ireland, but they must know Parliament is trying to do it" The Times says: ' "It would be unwise to take tne League manifesto too seriously or too literally. . Irishmen are habitually saying a good deal more than they mean. There is a suspicious hollowness in its ring of defiance and conciousness of real defeat the very audacity of its reckless and impracticable counsels.'' A MOX8TEB MEETING. London, Oct. 18.

THE JAIL. Present Number of inmates and the Character of Their TransgressionsGrim Facts ror Reflection. ? Marion County has a number of public Institutions that invite the attention of philanthropists and those who are benevo lently disposed, but we doubt if any of them are as well calculated to excite reflection, meditation and possibly prayer, as the JaiL Architecturally considered, the Jail jug, tollbooth, or by whatever name it may be called, is an unpretentiousbuildingso much so, indeed, as hardly to attract special notice as the busy crowd goes hurry ing along the streets. It is not tall and irowning. unlike the temple of justice which is in close proximity, it has no castle towers, no magnificent proportions upon which the eye may rest while the mind takes in the beauty of the tout ensemble. It is a jug full of bad spirits, tightly corked and vigilantly watched. It is a cage full of the unclean birds of society a Prison with bolts and bars and iron-doored cells, where men and women who, being their own enemies and the foes of society, are deprived of their liberty for the public good. There are now in the Marion County Jail 153 inmates. The daily admissions average about seven, giving total admissions for the year of 2,555. There are fourteen different crimes and misdemeanors represented by the inmates of the Jail, as follows: t Murder Larceny House breaking Bastardy 1 21 1 '2 T 2 26 2 2 6 10 3 Counterfeiting .... Adultery Prostitution Assault and battery with intent to kill SelUng liquor on Sunday . Carrying concealed weapons .. Associating with prostitutes malicious irepaa Assault and battery with attempt to commit rape...-, 1 70 uniDk.. Total. All the male inmates of the Jail for vioU tions of the law. less heinious than larenv' are kept at work on the public highways. In this way they are able to rav their hoM and Mr. John T. Glazier, the Jailer, m whose courtesy the Sentinel renresentativA is indebted for information, savs the url gangs often show as much interest in thefr work as if they were mid f L50 a day. Th average fine for a drunk is $14.75.'and the average duration of incarceration for stich misdemeanor is twenty days. The Jail i. able to furnish about sixty men ' a : dV for highway work forty for the countrv rtwul and twenty to tbe city. There are two 6r three boys in the Jail for larceny exceedingly hard-looking cases and who are likeJy to look worse the longer tbey Remain. -It costs something more than $51 a dav to feed these 153 Jail-birds, though if about sjxty of them are mzde to work, the County is reimbursed to that extent which lessens' the burden of taxation. Being admitted to a portion of the interior of the Prison, we took a look at a few ceils, which aoneared re markably neat: one. particularly, the nreenk residence of a distinguished horse-thief, was ingood8hape, showing the occupant to be familiar with luxurious surroundings and anxious to keep up appearances. The probabilities are that the Jail will be enlarged r indeed, it will have, to be done. Crime U steadily on the increase, and the demand is Bird Show., Our citizens are promised quite an origin al entertainment in a' short time in the shspe of a very extensive exhibition of wonderful birds. The collection embraces the feathered representatives of all lands: gathered by "Bishop, the Bird Man," of Baltimore. The City Council, at its meet ing on Monday night agreed to lower the usual city license in return for Mr. Bishop'a liberal offer to give to the citv school children free admission for two lays. This will give them a very entertaining series of a , . ODJeci lessons in ornithology. Mysteriously Injured. ' "'!
