Correspondence of the Hawk-Eye.

Iowa CRY, January 20, lo4l.
Well, Mr. HAWK. EYE Since last wrote
you, some very important subjects have
been up before both Houses, though bu,
little progress has been made, towards the
fina. completion Of any Of them. In the
Council, substitute for Mr. Rogers Bank
bill was offered on Tuesday last, and has
this day passed that body, and was sent to.
day about noon to the House. The first
Section provides for the resumpti on Of spe.
Gle payment within thirty days from the
passage of the act, and to continue 10 pay
specie on all her legal liabilities ever after
wards during her legal existence. The
second Section provides for the redemption
Of her notes in specie at the Cities Of Bur-
lEgton, st Louis and New York and the
Cashier is required 10 make out statement
under oath, Of the condition Of the bank,
and publish it quarterly in the newspapers
published in the city of Du Buquc; also the
number and residence Of the stock holders,
together with the amount OF stock owned
ny eucE one. Ht kuiiO ASCtiOh PioNiuSS
that If she fails to resume specie payments
at the time specified in the act, or at any
time thereafter fails TO pay specie, the
District Attorney of the third Judicial Dis
trct is TO sue out writ quo nGrranto to
compel her to show cause why her charter
should not 90 forfeited. The fourth Sec
ton makes the stockholders liable in their
individual capacity in proportion to the a
mount of stock owned by them The fifth
Section prohibits the bank from circulating
notes Of a less denomination than FIVE dol
lars. This substitute was reported by Maj.
Teas. Whether this will pass the House or
not am not able TO say. The second patch
of petitions from your county, has rather
alarmed the Des Moines portion OF the
"nnterifed democracy" think they are
now disposed to believe their constituents
knew ,chat they mere doing ,rheu they signed
those petitions.

We have heard it suggested that an
account Of the fiscal condition of our
city would be very acceptable at this
time. We believe long period has
elapsed since one has been rendered by
those in power. 1t would be a source
of satisfaction TO those who have 10 pay
for the support of the municipal gov
eminent to know in what situation that
government is. The taxes are much
complained of, and we think it nothing
more than matter Of justice that they
who pay them should know what is
done with the money, and what is the
amount of the city debt.

Town Meeting.

II will be seen from call made in anoth
or column of our paper, that the ticket TO,
Mayor and Aldermen which was adopted on
Monday evening, does not meet with that
general satisfaction which is necessary to
secure itsadoption by the voters and secure
the just interests of the city. Too great
care cannot be given to the selection of AL.
dermsn; and all interested persons should
be carefully avoided as inimical to tina in.
serests OF the city, otherwise we may select
for our Board of Aldermen the holders OF
che city scrip or their representatives. Iii
70 avoid this dilemma, we understand, that
me present call is made, and we hope, ii
mere is any just ground for fear, that the
call will be responded to in manner as to
insure the safety Of the city against any i'm,
proper application of her revenue.

Mr. GOOdhue,s Lecture.

We have heard but one opinion express
ed in regard to the lecture delivered by
Counsellor GooDHuE on Wednesday OF last
week, and that is highly favorable. All
who heard it agree that it was an able dis
course. The subject was Education" the
advantages of which in free government
were ably portrayed. The great impor-
lance of primary schools was dwelt upon
with singular ability. The doctrines ad.
vanced by the lecturer were, in our opin'
ion. sterling and genuine. Throughout the
whole discourse there was no abatement OF
interest but whatever was touched upon
seemed to engage the attention. One con-
tinucd string Of interesting variety con
nected with the fruitful theme aowed from
his prolific pen, and his remarks were from
beginning to end cogent an apt, and told
strongly upon the feelings of the auditors.
The reduction of the established prices OF
postage is engaging the attention of all
classes of citizens in almost every portion
of the Union, Thata change in this mat
ter will conduce to the general benefit o.
tho people, can admit of no question. But
we consider it doubtful whether, at presen,
it would prove advantageous TO the Post
Office Department. We believe that in
England the decrease of prices has produceo
an increase of revenue. The situation Of
the two countries is so dissimilar that nc
omparison as to the results likely to fol-
low dedu ction in the United States can
be made with those already effected in Eng
land. One country is but little larger in
extent than the State Of Illinois, while the
other contains nearly 1000, 900 of square
miles within its organized limits. the di-
mnutiveness and populousness Of the one
rendered u change desirable, but the oPpo-
site causes render one doubtful here. We,
in common with thousands, should like to
see change, as our postage amounts to
considerable during the course of year.
But we do not wish to see the department
involved. We wish to see no more Barry
like financiering. At present, tho Post or
flee Department appears to be unfavorabe
to reduction Of prices. We believe the
people will insist on having change in
worry short time and we also believe that
the department will soon be justified and
perfectly safe in making the desired reform

SALLY ST. CLAIR.-The fate of this beautiful
Creole girl was lamentabe. She, loved Sergent
Jasper, who once in the bloody conflicts of the
South saved her life. AT the time when she saw
separation from him was IN prospect her feelings
were intense To sever her long jotty ringles says
writer ofthe tales of Marion to dress in male attire
to enrol herselfin the corps to which he belonged
and follow hisfortunes in the wars, resolution no
sooner conceived than taken. On the night before
the fatal battle she was seen bending over his couch
like good and gentle spirit, il listening to his
dreams. A fierce conflict ensured-the lovers
fought side by side in the thckest of the fight; but
endeavoring to turn away lance aimed at the
heart of Jasper the poor girl received in her own
and fell bleeding at his feet. Her sex was discov-
cred after the battle, and there was not dry eye in
the corps when Sally st. Clair laid her grave
near the river Santea, in green shady nook that
looked ifit had been stolen out of Paradise The
love of such maiden is as sacred as The angels the
greatest prize that man could ever win, and what
in these days, we fear, is seldom known.

WooDsFIELD, OHIO, FRIDAY, MAY 81, 1914

declaration Of war on the part of the United States
and the United States having acquired the right to
Texas by treaty, which only waits the confirmation
Of the Senate to make il binding, the President
deemed it but apIecautionary measure to assemble
the fleet and land forces to act in case of an emer-
gency. The closing part of the message to the
Senate, is as follows:
at is due to myself that should declare it as
my opinion, that the United States having by the
treaty of annexatioe acquired title to Texas,
which requires only the action of the Senate to
perfect it, no other power could be permitted to
invade, and by force of arms to possess itself Of
any portion the territory of Texas, pending your
deliberations upon the treaty without placing itself
in hostile attitude to the United States and justi-
flying the employment of any military means at
our disposal to drive back the invasion.
"At the same time, it is my opinion that Mexico
or any other power will find in your approval Of
the treaty no just cause of war against the United
States; nor do believe that there is any serious
hazard of war to be found in the fact of such appro
val. Nevertheless, every proper measure will be
resorted to by the executive to preserve upon an
honorable and just basis the public peace by recon-
Cling Mexico, through liberal course of policy.

IT WON'T Do.

tits curious how many thousand things there are
which it won't do to do on this cogy planet of ours

wholly on the justice of your cause and not equip

talk of another man whom you have not personally
seen, as being an "all fred scoundrel,' until you
are absolutely sure he is not sitting before you.
Itwon't do, when snow-drifts are piedup noun
tain high, and sleighs eternay upsetting this
winter, to ride out with beautiful lively and fas
cinating girl, and not expect to get smashed with
her.
It won't do for man, when horse kicks him,
to kick back in return.
1t won't do to crack jokes On old maids in the
presence of unmarried ladies' who have passed the
age of forty.
1t won't do to imagine Legislature, fed at the
public crib, will sit but six weeks, when wothird.
ofthe members have not the capacity to earn a de-
cent living at home.
Itwon't do for man to bump his head against
stone post unless he conscientiously believes that
his head is the hardest
1t won'tdo when musquito bites your face in
the night, to beat your own Uranium in pieces with
your fist, under an impression that you are killing
the musquito.
Itwon't do for chap to imagine girl indiffer-
emily to him because she studiously avoids him in
company.
1t won't do for man to fancy lady is in love
with him because she treats him civily, or that she
has virtually engaged herself to him because she
has always endured his company.
Itwont do. when in hurry, to eat soup with
two-prongcd fork, or try to catch flies with fish

when she asks you, snow tumble over the cradle,
and break your neck, my dear, won't you'"
II won't do to take hold of hair-trigger pistol
during fit of blues.
Itwon't do for politician to imagine himself
elected to the gubernatoral chair while "the back
counties remain to be heard from"
Itwon't do to pop the question more than dozen
times after the lady has said "No!"
Itwon't do to extol the beauty of ladys hair
before you know that 1t did not belong to an
other lady's head.
Itwon't do to talk of cabbage when the tailors
are standing by, nor of wooden nutmegs and white
oak hams when there are any Connecticut Yankees
about.
It won't do to 60 barefoot in winter to get rid of
trouble from corns.
II won't do to take every man to do that yon
would like to, even il SO to do would be to do a
favor.
It won't do for man that has family to suffer
them to live in ignorance and go down to the grave
in infamy, for the want of taking newspaper.-It

GEN. JACKsoN.-The editor OF the Gallatin
(Tenn.) Union, in giving an account of recent
visit to the Hermitage, makes the following alu-
sion to scene of deep solemnity that he was
brought to witness on the occasion: A
"There was an interesting but solemn scene
presented on the Sabbath. 1t was communion
season .at the Hermitage church. The General
and his friend were there early at the morning
prayer meeting And at the close of the sermon
proceeding the breaking of bread, Andrew Jack
son took his seat at the table, B. F. Butler by his
left side, and an afectonate daughter on the other,
with his neighbors and friends seated around and
on either side, and there partook, perhaps for the
last time, of the emblems of the broken body and
shed blood of their Lord and Saviour. Beautiful
contrast! The man whose voice had often been
heard leading on armies to battle in defence of his
country and then filling the highest political Office
in the gift of nation and giving council to world
now seated at the table of the Lord in meek SUBJ
mission, celebrating his death and suffering And
like
"The toss'd seaman, after boist'rous storms,
Lands on his country's breast"
he seeks repose in retirement, and finds peace and
consolation in that the world can not give or take
away"
