Wings of Iowa! Hear ye this impassioned de-

msreprescnted. Hear ye the great leader of
your party, calling upon you to put forth the man
who can stand up and show that the Executive
ought to be, and can be, satisfied? Will you let
that leader cry out in vain? Will you let him
fight the battle of compromise alone? Your
presses will, They dare not put their views in
opposition to the Presidential view of things, as
they hope for Executive favors: but will you who
love the great "Harry of the West," allow him
to rise up, and not sustain him-to see him fall
without protecting him. Ifyou do, cease to ad-
mire-cease to claim as yours the purest of your
patriots-the greatest sage of your party.

"THEy READ THEIR Doom IN THE SETTING
SUN.-Thus exclaimed Charles Sprague, when
he contemplated the red man fading away, like
the wild flowers from which he brushed the
dew, and "the cattle upon thousand hills, y
which God had given him.
The Lake Superior Journal says that there
will be no more payments at La Pointe, and
that the Indians Of Lake Superior will receive
their next annuites at some point on the Miss
issippi, not yet determined upon. Gov. Ram
sey, Of Minnesota, and Mr.. Watvous Indian
agent, are authorized to select place for the
future payments. Mr.. w. took up with him,
on his recent trip to La Ponte, the boxes, with
which to pay off the Government Officers con-
nected with the LaPo Pointe Agency, which will
be removed to the New Indian rendezvous, as
soon as it hes been determined upon. The In
dams must follow as matter Of course, or lose
their annuities. This is new and ingeniously
contrivcd way Of etiecting the removal of the
natives.

NUMBER al,
Apple-Sauce VS.. Overcoats.

An extremely "down east Yankee, with
wagon load of ''apple sauce, was driving
through village not thousand miles from
Boston when he saw dangling in the wind, on
a post in front of a tailors shop, new overcoat,
seductively suspended by skewer in the shoul-
ders. He drove up to the door, alighted and
went in.
|. sBe you the boss?' he asked of palefaced
man, who was making diagrams with chalk and
rule on himsy piece of snuff colored cloth
"I be- said Snip.
ayes; wal, you've got a family, expect?-
You've got some children, haint you? l see
thin boy whittlin out doors, that looked like you
and expected like as not you had children
"Four on em that was Jcrothnel, my second;
that you see,' was the explanatory reply.
ayes; wal, meow, don't you want first rate
bar'l OF apple sauce? I've sold six bar'ls this
morning, and haint got but one left. Ill take it
out in dicker. want to get an overcoat, and
if you've mind to let me have that coat that
hangs by the door, if it will fit me, III give you
barl Of apple-sauce for it,
The schneider, after little chafering, con-
scnted, and the coat-was brought in and tried
Snip said the fit was a mracle ssmight ha
growed onto him. SO snug did it "set," and he
verified his praise by twisting his customer s
neck half off, that he might look at his back in
glass standing in the dark at the back of the
shop, and rejecting nothing that was passing III
front.
The bar'l was dumped and the buyer drove
off, proud as turkey-cock, in his new coat
He alghted at store, to do errand fer
a neghbor, where he encountered towns

"Iiello!' exclaimed the latter, show slick
you do look! Where did you get so much new

The wearer made no reply, but turned round
with an air. and asked
"How does she seto Amt she beau-
ty? And all gin fort was bar'l Of apple

saw anything set so wrinkly! Pull it down; now
let 90 OF it. 1t don't make no odds, not bit; it
goes right back agin; it Fuckers dreadfully be-
tween the shoulders

mortified buyer, but his face Enlightened almost
to glow, as he added.
"Puckers, eh? Wal, if his mouth don t puc-
ker darnd sight worse than this overcoat ever

SUICIDES BY BRUrEs.-lt is related in the
travels Of Monsieur Violet, the truth of which
is vouched by Captain Marryatt, that he saw
horses, that had been tyrannized over by other
horses, and treated by the whole herd as out
casts, commit suicide When tired of their
Paria life, they walk round and round some
large tree, as if to ascertain the degree of hard
ness required, measure the distance, and darting
with furious speed against it fracture their skulls,
and thus get rid of life and oppression both to-
gether. He says that squirrels sometimes per-
secute one of their number till he destroys him
self. "One day, while we were watching this
outcast of squirrel, we detected young one
slowly creeping through the adjoining shrubs;
he had in his mouth ripe fruit; at every mo-
ment he would stop and look as ifhe were watch
ing, just as if he feared detection. At last he
arrived near the Paria (outcasD and deposited
before him his offering to misery and old age.
They were, however, perceived by the squirrels,
who sprang by dozens upon them. The young
one, with two bounds, escaped; the other sub
mitted to his fate. rose-all the squirrels rose
except the victim; but that time contrary to his
habits he left the shrub, and slowly advanced to
the bank of a river and ascended tree. A
minute afterwards we observed him at the very
extremity Of branch projecting over the rapid
waters, and we heard his plaintive shriek-it was
his farewell TO life and misery -Boston Dail,

Mr. LoFTUs, the geologist attached to the COM
mission which is now employed in the demarca-
ton of the Turco- Persian line Of frontier, had
succeeded, on his passage from Bagdad to Bus
sorah, in visiting,,all the most remarkable ancient
sites in Lower Chaldea. The ruins now called
Werka, which represent the Ur ofthe Chaldees,
whence took place the Exodus of Abraham,
were carefully examined by Mr.. Lotus, and
were found to be of great extent and extraordl-
nary interest A vast number Of ancient collins
of baked clay, highly glazed, and covered with
figures of men in relief, were discovered in one
spot the collins being about SIX feet in length,
adapted to the shape Of the human body, and
with an oval ornamented lid, which closed the
upper part; moderately-s water-jar was also
attached to each coffin. Gold ornaments and
other Chaldean relics were said to be frequently
found in them. But those which Mr.. Lotus ex-
amined had been already rifled, and he had no
leisure for excavation. Numerous bricks cover
ed with cuneiform characters were, however,
brought away from the ruins by Mr.. Lotus, to-
gether with pieces of terracotta, moulded in the
shape of bulls horn and bearing inscriptions;
and several fragments Of hexago,1a1 clay cylin-
der, inscribed with a long historical record, sim
liar to that deposited in the British Museum,
which was found by Mr.. Layard at Ninevah.
Werka is still tradtionally known in the coun-
try as the birth place of Abraham, and its iden-
tity with Ur of the Chadees is established be-
yond the reach of cavil. The ruins have been
observed at distance by other travellers; but
are usually inaccessible, owing to the inundation
of the surrounding country and the dangerous
neighborhood ofthe Khezail Arabs Mr.. Lotus,
indeed, is the first European who has ever sue
ceeded in actually visiting this primeval seat OF
the Jewish race. -%@aaaa Htrjf8 .

A SINGULAR SCENE, WITH ROYAL AcToRs
A singular scene IS represented to have occurred
at the Royal Palace at Madrid which shows
how a hen-pccked husband is usually treated,
whether Of royal or simple blood The King
had been for several days pressing his royal con-
sort in the most earnest manner to free herself
from, as he termed it, the "slavish subiection''
in which she was kept by her ministers. The
Queen resisted, and sent for General Narvaez.
A scene of some violence is said to have taken
place between the three, in which the King de-
clared that on the day of Her Majesty's ac-
couchement he should quit the Spanish territory,
and publish to the nation manifesto, explain
ing his reasons for not choosing to be present at
the birth of the royal infant Divesting the bust
ness of all courtly form, and speaking plainly,
the King denied the legitimacy of the forthcom-
ing scion of Spanish royalty. In this extraordi-
nary emergency council administers was held,
and it was decided, in order to save the Queens
honor, that the King should be prevented from
quitting the palace. His Majesty was, therefore,
placed under arrest Sentries were placed at
the door of his apartment, and he remained a
prisoner for four hours when he capitulated, and
consented to ride out with the Queenin an open
carriage in the evening The conduct Of this
imbecile man is attributed to the intrgues Of the
Carlists, who not only wish to overthrow the
present ministry, but to cast doubts and impedi-
ments in the way of the succession to the crown
Of the issue of Queen Isabella. The crisis is
considered to be over for the present t j5g. p

RAILROAD DEPARTMENT.
The Central Railroad.

The bill granting lands for the construction
Of the above Road, which passed the Senate on
the I'd inst. by vote of 26 to ID, it is thought
will be equally successfully when it comes be-
fore the House. The Washington correspondent
of the st. Louis Intelligencer remarks as follows
onthe passage of the bill
''This grant is a most magnificent one-by
far the most extensive of any ever before made
by Congress. 1t not only donates each alter
nate section for five miles in width, along the
main trunk Of the road but also along each of
the branches that fork at or near Pcru-thc one
running to Chicago, the other to Galena. The
estimated quantity of land thus donated is set
down at fifteen hundred thousand acres; but
am told by those whose mathematical calcula-
tions are to be relied upon, that it will greatly
exceed that amount. Among those who were
most stcadfast in their support of the Illinois
Senators wcre Benton, Clay, Seward, Cass and
Smith of Connecticut If the Representatives
in the other branch manage with the same pru-
dencc, and exercise the same industry and per-
severance, Illinois is sure to derive the benefits
of this magnificent grant
