GEN. HARRIsoN's CABINET.-A soldier who
had part in the affair OF Tippecanoe; aud
was also in the war Of 1912, with Gen. Harrl-
son, suggests the pfopriety of holding gene
raj meeting Of the survivors Of mis- companions
in arms, during the Generals campaign, at
scme central place, say Fort Meigs, Sandusky
or For, Wayne, on The 4th Of July next, in or
der to address their old leader, on the subject
Of his calling Daniel Webster to his councils,
and placing him next to himself in the Govern
ment.
He says he cannot forget the favors confer
red on the General and his army, who were
naked and hungry, at the time Mr.. w. voted
in congress against the supplies for the army
nor can he forget the contributions begged for
through the States of Ohio and kentucky, for
blaptleis aud other necesSares fer the army; at
that time when the same Daniel Webster was
making speeches III Congress against the war,
aud voting against the supplies.
He therefore would like to have general
meeting of SO many Of the survivors of the
Generals campaigns, to hold this meeting to
congratulate their old commander in his show
ing so much christian charity in thus heaping
Goals OF fire upon the heads Of his, and their
old enemy, who labored SO hard to prevent
them from having bread TO eat, or blankets to
cover them, or shoes TO their bleeding feet.
Come on, fellow soldiers, and sing hosannas to
the old General, who has set you the glorious
example Of doing good to them who have ha-
ted aud prosecuted you.

CT The Hawkeye is overjoyed in publishing the
proceedings of several wing meetings which have
lately been held in few counties, preparatory TO
more efficient organization of that party, and threat
cning at some future day, to show wherein our Del
egate in Congress has failed to accomplish that which
his friends expected him to succeed in. From the
course which that paper has heretofore pursued it is
to be expected that it will endeavor to put false
coorng upon every act to create the impression that
our Delegate has failed in accomplishing much be-
cause of lack of personal respect energy, talent
or some other disqualification which he may fancy
the available wing candidate to possess in eminent
degree. Let its words Of condemnation go FORTH
Whether Gen. Dodge's services shall be crowned
with gratifying success fall far short of what his
friends might have anticipated, the Democracy of the
Territory look for abuse at the hands of the wing
party, and can make all due allowances. Previous
to the commencement of the late session of Con-
gress, we supposed that it would allow political mat
tiers to slumber, and take up the business of the
country, which had been much neglected in the cheat
Of political excitement, but we were doomed to dis
appointment, that body having taken a course the
reverse of what was anticipated. At such session
as it proved to be- it would be ungenerous to ccnsure
public servant for not accomplishing much as
under different state of things, might have been
done. The giant State of New York, with her for
ty-two representatives, has not had her wants sup
piled, and we ask if it would be right to censure
single individual for not doing more for US than all
the power and influence Of that State could do =
The fact is, nothing but political speech-making was
done, and it was beyond the power Of the business
men to change its course.

or At late wing dinner in Louisa county, two
turkey buzzards lowered high the table for some
time. The ewes of the company having been put
in eclipse from excessive draghts of the crlttur,
they imagined them to be eagles, and did not dscov
er their mistake until they had given them several
rounds Of cheers.

CO The Democracy of Linn county, we under
stand, were caught mapping at the late special
election, and allowed the wings to steal march upon
them Shame on you boys! if we didn't know you
can turn the tables on them at any day, we should
be tempted to set the Hawkeye to barking at YOU
The wings elected their candidates throughout with
the exception of county commissioner, which was
filed by Democrat. The Democrats believing
that the wings would allow the election to 60 by de-
too cunning for them-they laid low until few
days before the election when they secretly sent out
runners and succeeded in bringing out their full for
and carried the day. but they cannot do again
that's fiat.

of the ointment the inner surface and apply il
closely and smoothly over the whole breast, leaving
the nipple protruding through the hole, SO that the
child can nurse which it should do as long as the
mother can bear it, Care should be taken to have the
breast drawn by the child or otherwise to pre-
vent an accumulation of milk. Whenever the plas.
ter gets rlnked, and thereby uncomfortable one
should be applied, and constantly worn until cure

A PICTURE.

Tho farmer sat in his easy char,
Smoking his Pipe Of clay.
While his hale old wife, with busy care
Was clearing the dinner away.
A sweet little girl, with fine blue eyes,
On her grand-pa's knee was catching flies.
The old man placed his hand on her head,
With a tear on his wrnkled face,
And thought how often her mother dead
Had sat in the very same place.
As the tear stole down his half-s eye,
"Don't smoke" said Tie child lit makes you cry?
The house dog lay stretched out on the floor,
Where the sun, after noon, used TO steal,
The busy old wife by the open door,
Was turning the spinning wheels;
And the old brass clock on the mantletres
Had plodded along to almost three.
Still the farmer sat in his easy chair,
While close to his hcaving breast,
The moisened brow and the head so fair
OF his sweet grand child were prest;
His head bent down on her soft hair lay
Fast asleep were they both on that summer day
