Speaking of the middle ranks of life,
the solid and best portion of society,
q modern writer makes the following
excellent remarks:
"There we behold woman in all her
glory not doll to carry silks and jew
els, not a puppet to be flattered by pro-
fame alterations, revencad to-day dis
carded tomorrow; always jostled out of
the place which nature and society
would assign her by sensuality or by
contempt; admired, but not esteemed ;
ruling by passion. not affection impart-
ing her weakness, not her constancy to
the sex she would exalt; the source and
mirror OF vanity: We see her as a wife,
partakiDg the cares and cheering the
anxiety Of her husband, dividing his
tolls by her domestic diligence, spread
ing cheerfulness around her, for his sake,
sharing the decent refnements of the
world without being vain of them, plac-
ing all her joys and her happiness in the
man she loves. AS a mother, we find
her affectionate, the ardent instructress
Of her children, whom she reared from
their infancy, training them up to
thought and virtue, to piety and bene-
violence, addressing them as rational be-
ings. and preparing them to become
men and women in their turn. Me-
chanics' daughters make the best wives

A BAD FIX.

Once OH time in the village OF
b, in the State of Mass, lived a
beau,eous maiden of seventeen, whom
we will call Fanny l., and George
b was her accepted lover. The
course of true love ran smooth, and in
due process of time came the usual
happy termination of their wooing. and
the twain was made one, by the bene-
dicsion Of the holy church.
They were married early one sum-
mer's morning. and the same day travel
ed cozily and happily to New York as
the frs, stage of their wedding tour
As companion, younger brother OF
the bride, a mischievous young rascal,
accompanied them, and we'll it would
have been for the happy pair, if they
had trusted themselves to their own
society. and left James at home 10 orna-
ment dog tails and spit-ball the school
master.
Well. the party arrived at the St.
Nicholas Hotel. While George was
dutiiully attending to the comfort of his
young wife, James, in the performance
of his duties as groomsman, went to the
Office Of the hotel to enter the names
and selectappropriate apartments. Pen
in hand. brilliant idea struck him. and
in pursuance herewith, he entered their
names on the register thus -

Algona, Iowa.

The following clip from the Fort
Dodge Sentinel has good deal of in
tcrcst for US personally, and for our sec
ton of the Stae. ALTOONA is the County
Seat Of Kossu,h County. One of its
principal proprietors is Judge A. c.
CALL, formerly of St. Joseph County,
Indiana. We knew him there very
well and We have had the pleasure OF
meeting him at McGregor when he was
here on business connected with the
McGregor R. Road. The Judge has
seen life in several of its phases and we
know him to have filed all the positions
he has occnniad to the entire sa.isfac-
,;oa Of those with whom nc w.
ted s successful ead TSassss TSSonorsbIe 1h
miner and trader in California, and he
now has the entire confidence of the
people among whom he is located, on
the Upper Des Moines River. His elec-
ton to Dictatorship in the Nc Gregor
Road at the last meeting of the Board,
was tribute to his moral worth and
business habits; we trust in securing
Rail Road Lines through the village of
Algona, he may be as successful as he
has heretofore been in the various un-
dertakings OF life. Judge Call is a
young man yet and North Western
Iowa may have many years of valuable
service from his experience and judg-
ment.
We believe that a comparison of politi-
cal notes would show slight disagree
ment between the Judge and ourselves.
but that has very little to do with bust
ness matters or the social concord which
shuold exist among friends-but to the
extract:
During recent visit to this town,
we were iavorably impressed with the
place and the Inhabitants. With the
exception OF an occasional bad slough"
on the road, our trip was a pleasant
one.
Algona is situated directly north of
Fort Dodge 40 miles, on the east branch
of the DesMoines. 1t contains about
50 or g. houses and something like
400 inhabiants-and this, the growth
of year and a half They labor under
the same disadvantage there as others
do elsewhers-,he scarcity of building
materiai-which retards their growth
very materially. We were informed
that 55 houses were now under contrac;
for erection. but were not going forward
for want of materials.
The town has pleasant and elevated
and heaviest b61les OF lmp6r' we irave
yet seen in the State. Altogether, the
country around is second to none in
Iowa. and is being fast improved by the
hardy and industrious pioneer. With
out other elements ofprosperity, Algons
would become a ''point )" but when we
take into consideration her position AS
the junction of the McGregor, St.
Charles and Algona, and Keokuk, Fort
DesMoincs and Minnesota Railroads, it
would be folly to longer doubt her future
destiny as large inland city"

How to make a French Cook.

The proprietor of an excellent hotel
not hundred miles from Boston, deci-
ded among other improvements in his
household arrangements to employ a
French cook, and by making a journey
to New York he found the artist requir-
ed. AS the landlord was not familiar
with the French language, the prelimia
ries of the engagement were settled in
English, with which the cook was toler-
ably conversant. Soon after the install
ment of the distinguished cuisinier, a
remarkable change took place in the kit
chen and diningroom of the establish
ment, much to the satisfaction Of its
guests. The table was beautifully deco
rated with flowers. pyramids and other
ornaments known only to the French; a
light house Of sugar, with an illuminated
lantern, lowered in midst thereof, which
would have shed lustre upon table at
the Tuilieries. Every guest was prais-
ing the skill of the French cook. The
dishes were excellent. fhe entrees aud
dessert were Of the first order-in a
word French table had been set up in
the establishment.
During this happy state of affairs. one
Of the boarders, a French gentleman, who
was confined to his room by illness,
wished to see his countryman, the &C ok,
that lie might order particular French
soup. The artistic appeared in his white
cap, and complete French cooks cos
tune. "Monsier le Cuisinier," said the
sick gentleman, "Je desirais que vous me
tissiez une soupe la Franchise. "Speak
plain" replied the cook, II cannot un-
derstand YOU" The French gentleman,
astonished at the answer, gave his order
in English, and added "being myself a
Frenchman, l was told by the landlord
tina. you were a fellow countryman,"
"Ah. my dear sir, am An Irishman; but
do not expose me. have been an un-
der cook at the English embassy in Paris,
and there l learned French cooking; but
if the landlord should know that am
an Irishman. he would send me away"
The gentleman's order was well and
promptly answered. and for several
weeks he kept the secret committed to
him. The story being too good, was
passed around in quiet way, and after
the departure of the French gentleman.

furious with rage, rushed into the
kitchen. "You villain, said he, "you
have deceived me, you are an lrishman!
you could not understand the French
gentleman when he gave you an order. +"

fed the landlord, and the cook main.
tanned his position, good cooking and
unsuspected integrity, still speaking his
broken English. and singing his snatch
es of French songs.

This is the greatest bird that has ever
spread his wings over this great and
glorious country. The place where he
LIZ nest is called All eyrie, away

might. The eagle is a ferocious fellow. y.
and sits on tho tops of the cliffs ard
looks sharp for plumber. Hc gets tired
Of waiting, and then lie starts out in the
blue expansive heavens, and scars all
around on his pinions over the land and
water, to see what he can pounce down
upon. But though he is called very
cruel bird. he always preys before eat
ing, just like any good moral man a:
the head of his family. He eats his
victuals raw, which is an unfavorable
habit, but it is supposed that he eats il
SO because he likes to. He is a very
courageous bird, and will fight like
blazes for his young, and steal chickens
wherever he can see them. He has been
known to carry off a young baby to his
nest, which seems TO show that eagles
love little children. He is bird of
great talons, and is much respected by
birds of the feathered tribe that are
afraid of him. He is great study for
artists, but appears to best advantage on
the ten collar gold pieces, and fifty cent
pieces, and pretty well on the dimes, as
he sits gathering up his thunderbolts
under him. as if he was in great hurry
to be off. He has lately broke out on
the new cent, and seems as if in his
hurry he had dropped all his thunder.
The Ameliuan Eagle is the patriots
hope and the inspiration Of Fourth of
July. He soar thu ough the realms of
the poets fancy, and whets his beak on
the highest peak of the orators inagi
nation. He is in the mouth of every
politician, so to speak. He is said by
them to stand on the Rocky Mountains.
and to dip his bill into the Atlantic,
while his tail casts shadow on the
Pacific cost, This is all CANNON
There never was one more than eight
feet long from the tip of one wing to the
tip of 'tother. His angry scream is
heard ever so far, and he don't care a
feather for anybody. Take him every
way, he is an immense fowl, and his
march is over the mounting wave, with
whistIing Yankee Doodle.
