oa.h tbe;r cases. 1t provides "that any
1870, able to work and support himself
= anv honest or respectable caillns' not
having the wherewith to MAINTAIN himself
vbo shall be found lettering or strolling
about in any street, alley or common, or any
public or private place within the c'ty' or
who shall be an idle or dissolute person. or
who shall go about begging in any par. Oh
the city not having any regular lawful pu-
ne.,s. or who shall lead an idle,
immoral or proaigate course of life shall be
deemed a vagrant, and upon conviction'
thereof before anycourt having jurisdict,on'
shall be fined in. sum of not more than
fifty dollars, and as part OF said judgment,
unless said fine be paid, shall be committed
to the isil of the county or to the city pris-
on, until such fine be paid.' If we could
instead Of committing them to jail, in de-
fault Of payment, compel them to work upon
the streets, at laborers wages, until the hne
was cancelled, it would be much better Tor
the CITY finances, and have more salutary
effect in checking vagrancy. There are
enough Migrants in this city OF the k'na
contemplated by the ordinance above, If
kept at work upon our streets, to keep them
in good repair, besides doing an indefinite
amount of grading, etc. We should like to
see these characters put through course Of
sprouts. Can't it be done? @a q ..
Good Beef.
The Davenport Gazette says, that the
good people of that city are now lu1uriat-
ing upon superior article of beef-tender
and juicy. The Gazette man, not satisfied
with the fact, that the meat he purchased,
was 'sfat, tender and juicy" had to enquire
of butcher, why such was the case. He
was told in explanation, ''that last spring ali
the cattle that had survived the winter, were
miserably poor. Since spring, they have
been fattened up in quick time, and this ac-
counts for the beef being so excellent. He
saws cattle that have been fat several years,
are just as likely to be tough, as though they
were not fat at all, and that butchers are
themselves often deceived by this. Some
times they kill fat steer, and find the best
cuts of it on their own tables very tough
All this sounds reasonable" If the abov Q
truthfully accounts for the existence of
touqh beef, there must have been very large
number Of excessively fat cattle hereabouts
last spring, for we have encountered plenty
of beef that deied mastication. However,
we do occasionally get good beef, as fine
fat, tender and juicy, as that ever sold in any
market.
~ 1t IS a very trite but true saying, that
it is an ''ill wind that blows nobody any
good" However deeply We may deplore
the present hard times, the consequences will
be beneficial to the people. A general de-
cline in prices of real estate, will take place
in New York city as well as in Iowa, and
each community will suffer just in that pro-
portion as its basis is sound or not. Thou
sands of moonshine cities, existing only on
paper, in the West, will explode, while those
whose advantages are real and not imasi-
nary, will in the end become more and more
the centres of trade and population. While
imaginary cities all around us, are topping
down into oblivion, Council Bluffs remains
firm-our business men are prosecuting vast
improvements, as though nothing unusual
had occurred. Our mechanics and laboring
men are still engaged in active and remu-
ncrative employment, all seemingly unmind-
full Of the sshard times" so much talked Of
in the business circles. Those contemplate
ing emigrating to the West next season, will
please make note of this fact-Council
Bluffs holds her own in the highest times.
Good Move.
The Glenwood Union, very pertincntly
asks: "How many more years are we to do
without a County fair in Mills. County :?
Farmers and mechanics, let US have Fair
as soon as possible; if not this year, prepare
for next" Truly, good advice, and sea-
sonably given. We hope to witness move
in the right direction by the farmers and
citizens of Pottawattamie County. By Or
gnizing an Agricultural Society this fall,
VIC can pave the way for regular old
fashioned fair next fall. Shall it be done?
We learn from the Union that the citizens
of Cass County, n. T., have organized
Farmers and Mechanics Institute, and
elected our old friend, SAN II. ELBERT, Presi-
dent. The first Fair was held at Platts-
mouth, on Tuesday last. A free dinner was
served up and $l75 allowed in premiums for
the best farm products and the finest speci-
mems OF mechanism. We expect to announce
similar entertainment in this County next
fall. ... .'t
