THE following excellent sketch of the
history of Judge Lowe, is from the Keosau-
nun PennbEc0n.-

BW Inc fOllOw1ng excellent sKetch or the
history of Judge Lowe, is from the Keosau-
qua Republican,
For Governor, II. p. Lowe.
We feel that we hazard nothing in saying
that no more acceptable nomination could
have been made than that of Judge Lowe.
A resident of the State for nearly twenty
years, having taken an active part in her
past history, no more fitting standard bearer
could have been selected for the coming can
vass. lie was q member of the first Consti-
tutional Convention, at that time being a
resident Of Muscatine. In that body, COM
posed of some of the ablest men Of the then
Territory, he showed himself to be a ready
debater, and pos -essed of sound and states
men like views. In 1854 he was the nolni-
nee of the Wing party for delegate in Con-
gress, and more popular and active canvass
has never been made before of since. The
democracy had at that time an Overwhelm-
ing majority, and he was opposed by Gen.
Dodge, the acknowledged leader of the OPP
f, position, and who always united the forces
| of his party. Judge Lowe was more than
his equal on the stump, and nothing but the
potent power of party drill saved even Mr..
Dodge from u Waterloo defeat. The hard
blows dealt the redoubtable General by the
Wing candidate will long be remembered by
him and his friends.
Judge Lowe for several years after settling
in the STATE resided at Muscatne, being &C.
lively engaged in the practice of his profess
sion, having practice which extended over
great portion of Central Iowa. Abouteight
years since he removed to keokuk, and was
soon after elected District Court Judge
which Office he continued to fill with signal
ability and universal satisfaction until last
spring. He was again solicited by the pro-
fession of his District, without distinction
of party, to again consent to the use Of his
name for reelection. This, however he felt
constrained to decline, and again returned to
his profession. His very heavy practice &C
quired since his return to the bar, is the best
evidence of his ability rs a lawyer and the
confidence in him as man. Popular at
home popular at his former home, (Musca-
:ine) popular wherever known, we predict
his election by most triumphant majority.
Ii in the Gubernatorial chair We should
desire irreprnachable honesty, he is the man:
Ii it is desired in this high position to have
Il man we'll acquainted with the wants of the
State, then we say, vote for Judge Lowe.
If it is OF any Importance to have our Chief
Executive All able jurst, sound lawyer, an
honest man, one of high neral worth, oflib-
eral education and great firmness and energy,
we have them all in our nominee. We go in
to the canvass with high hopes indeed We
may say with a certainty OF success.

Pleasure is never solid enough to bear an.
alysis. 1t should be passed lightly over, as
boys are, never letting the feet remain a

ting with the girls, and dancing.

DRINKING AT MEALs.-There is, perhaps,
mo practice connected with eating, more
|pernicious than that of drinking largely at
meals. 1t is not uncommon in the hot days
of summer to see a man take from two to
ur glasses of the coolest we'll or ice water
Turing single meal. Food when taken i'll
10 the stomach is met and dissolved by a
hud termed the gastric juice. Ii this fluid
be Diluted, its solvent power is proportion
ately diminished If the water taken be very
cold, the process Of digestion is completely
arrested and is not resumed until the entire
contents of the stomach are brought up to
the usual temperature, which is about one
hundred degrees Fahrenheit. And then, be-
fore digestion can 60 on with its accustomed
energy, the water which has been thus in
judiciously taken, must pass out OF the
stomach v arm drinks, though little less
injurious than cold, cannot be taken with
impunity, especially by those whose diges.
tive organs are weak.
These things concerning digestion are not
mele guess work, but facts ascertainel by
actral observation-by looking int mans
stomach while digestion was in Progress
The sensations induced by full draughts OF
water while eating, have been exrer-
fenced by nearly every person. There Is a
heavy weight in the region OF the stomach,
dullness. and an indisposition
for mental or physical labor. If this prac-
tice is continued, the digestive organs loose
their power, the blood is disordereG, the
system is not nourished, and dyspepsia, with
its conconitant evils, is soon making its in.
roads upon the constitution.
Invaiids, particularly those suffering with
chronic diseases, should avoid as much as
possible all kinds of fluid while eating, and
for at least three hours after each meal. To
overcome the habit of drinking at mealtime,
one needs to eat slowly, to chew the food
and to mix it freely with the
saliva OF the mouth.

"Ah! out again, Delilah," he said earn

"Where is Charley!'
"With Hannah, of course. You don't ex-

The young man s face grew clowdy. "No,"
he returned with half sigh; but can't
bear to have him left with servants"
