The Council Bluffs nonpareil. [volume] (Council Bluffs [Iowa]) 1857-1867, 1857-12-05

CT All great inventions have, in the be-
ginning, been sneered at, laughed ut, and
been made tho subject Of "unfeelink'' re-
marks. Last winter some friend Of the hui
man race suggested the superior claims OF
newspaper coverlids, on the score of cheap
ness, lightness and extra warmth-and the
item, although coming to light in the staid
Phil. North American, went the rounds OF
the press as sssubject" for tho develop
ment Of the visibility of newspaper readers.
But struth is mighty and win prevail, "saya
the proverb and accordingly with the ap-
proach of winter we find the subject again
in agitation. A writer in the N. Y. Fee.
Post furnishes the following experience
"Soon after the advent Of chilly nights,
finding the extra covers too heavy, and re-
Numbering the suggestions of year ago,
took Of weighty coyerlid, and substituted
a half dozen copies Of popular weekly
never slept moro pleasantly. mentioned
it to some Of my acquaintance, who, on a
trial the past two weeks, pronounce j,
effectual. I use it on three beds in nv
house, and As nothing can be cheaper, feel
authorized to recommend it for general use.
had the curiosity to weigh the newspapers
in use on my three beds, and found the
amount Of all to be three pounds only. The
papers can be spread loosely, overlapping
one another, although for convenience,
have pasted the edges together. How tri6ine
is the cost, and how easily obtained! A
pound or two of old newspapers can be
procured for four cents pound, and il
spread between two light covers, to retain
them in their place, viii keep person CON-
fcstable, whether he be poor or rich"
The Council Bluffs nonpareil. [volume] (Council Bluffs [Iowa]) 1857-1867, 1857-12-05

Secretary Cass has recently seen proper
to deliver himself of the opinion that'' there
is no law in the United States to prevent a
citizen, in the exercise of the right of expa-
triation, from going, either armed or I'M
armed, to q foreign country" This dec
laration has very naturally created some
sensation at Washington, and excited no lit
tie ill-feeling among the foreign diplomats.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times remarkes most pertinently upon
the opinion of the Secretary a. follows -
"If one citizen can thus expatriate himself,
a dozen, . hundred, a thousand, or ten thous-
and, can do the same thing. And if man
may take his arms in his hands, there is no
reason why no may not take mountain
howitzer on his shoulders. The enunciation
of such a doctrine, at this time, i considered
nothing less than a Proclamation of the Uni
ted States Government that Walker may
make war on Central America whenever he
shall see fit, or can get the means to do so,
with perfect impunity. 1t Is looked upon as
IN official reiteration of Gen. Cass' letter to
the New York meeting, while no was in the
Senate, of sympathy in the cause of Walker
and 6libusterism. In view of this opinion,
the instructions to the several United States
Marshals to prevent any infraction of the
Neutrality Laws as also the instructions to
the commander of the John Adams in Poto-
mac Bay to do the same thing, are regarded
as gross hypocracy on the part of the Cab
met at Washington.o So +,
