Nh. EDITOR: In your last paper, there is
a communication from s'Halo," which, as
a woman, l must notice. He insinuates
that we are all guilty of slandering, back
biting and devouring each others good

many of US, but not SO of all. There are
those, in this city, above such things, and
plenty of them. He insinuates that we are
Idle, prohiga'e and snot true to our lords;'
and that were are neither virtuous nor useful
Now if that is the picture Of the women
he associates with, one would suppose, if
he was gentleman, he would not expose
her foibles to the world, or, il he wished
to be virtuous and upright man, he
would seek better company; for there are in
Muscatine as virtuous, intelligent, industri-
Gus, accomplished and upright women as
the country affords; and if ssHalo'' has not
found them, it is because his instincts have
led him in another direction. He seems to
think that if we would stay at home. spin,

have accomplished our highest mission, ant
that intelligence and cultivated mine
would be serious calamity to Us. He talk

The May number of Hunts Magazine

The May number of Hunts Magazine
gives an interesting account Of the va
rious steps by which Railway improve
ments have reached their present condi-
ton Tho 6rst approach to the railroad
invention was between 1902 and 1649.
when logs Of wood were laid along the
coal mines, on which wagons were run.
In .173S, cast iron rails were substituted
for wooden ones. The first locomotive
steam engine was built in 1904, on the
railroad of Merthe Tidvil, in South
Wales, which drew carriages loaded with
ten tons of iron at the rate of five miles
an hour. The full usefulness Of the 10
comotive was prevented for many years
by an impression that smooth wheels
could not be made to carry heavy loads
over smooth rails. Il was finally dis.
covered that this was an imaginary
trouble, and on the 25th of July. 1914.
the fact Of this was conclusively proven
by an engine. drawing eight loaded car
'riages, weighing twenty tons, up a
slight ascent. The first public railroad
line. built for the use Of the steam-car.
riages, was the Stockton and Darlington,
incorporated in 1921, and opened in
1925. At first it was not expected that
passengers would travel on the road,
but in short time, the number amoun-
ted to six hundred week, where there
had been coach traffic Of fourteen or if-
teen persons weekly. This discovery OF
the effect of the railroad to create travel,
was about as astonishing as the previous
one, that smooth wheels would run on
smooth iron, drawing heavy loads. Al
first, the railroad was exceedingly un-
popular, and every species Of invectise
was arrayed againstit. The arguments
Of its friends were declared 10 be absur.
dities, and their eloquence to be desti-
tute of common sense. The railroad
step by step, advanced, until i, has final
ly triumphed. 1t is difficult. to believe
that the Improvements can progress fur
ther, but 1t is difficult TO find a stopping
place for inventive ingenuity.

articles of glass, inlaid with gold, with
