DAVENPORT AND Lyons RAIL ROADS
Strong efforts are being put forth in behalf Of
these two roads We learn that Judge Grant
as the Agent of the Davenport road, and Mr.
Haun, of Clinton county, the Agent of the
Lyons road, are travelling through the Western
counties, soliciting subscrip ions TO the stock
of the respective roads. As the two roads pursue
the same direction and are in close proximity to
each other, warm strife has sprung up be-
tween the Agents and those interested in the
respective roads. We like to see our railroad
friends stimulated 10 a proper degree of e ergy,
but we hope no serious difficulty will arise from
the conflicting interests of the two. No doubt
both roads can be carried right through to the
Missouri this year, and it is idle to quarrel
about their respective merits

FALSE REPoRrs.-During speculative peri

neghbor by making false reports respecting tn,
price he receives for produce. Those who's.
business it is to give information to the public
through the press, of the transactions in the grain
market, can appre c;ate the virtue of law estab.
lished in France:
1t is an offence against the law in France, for
dealer IN breadstuffs to say that he has effected
sale at higher price than he had in reality re
ceived, If the falsehood is uttered at momen,
of panic in the market, and may contribute to n
rise in price. Thus baker in Nancy has Just
been condemned by the Correctional Tribunal,
on the demand of the Imperial Procureur, to
eight days imprisonment for having said at a cafe
that he had sold fifty bags of flour at Afr. piece,
while the price really paid was but 43f

Power is poor substitute for public opinion
The President of the United States has no body
guard but a walking stick. The Emperor of
Austria, on the contrary, has body guard of
10000 hussars. The former walks about the
land as Tree from assault as an oyster warbler,
while the latter cannot even poke his nose out
side of his palace without exposing his buckskin
to an unpleasant shower of pigeon shot.

"Another useful purpose Of this article may
be mentioned. Cow teats often become tender

CoLLoDIoN TO PREVENT SMALL-Pox Prs
We cannot answer from personal experience as
to the collodlon upon cow-teats, but we do know
that If it is carefully applied TO small pox pus-
tuies, about the time they begin to discharge, it
will entirely prevent those dark colored pits
which disfgure the face so horribly. TO a
young lady whose beauty is her fortune, this is
secret worth knowing. To apply it, roll up
bit OF cloth and use the fuzzy end for brush.
and apply it as you would paint Don't finch
from the smart-the loss of beauty is greater

The Galveston News says that they are in.
