Cabbage.
We arc not tailor, nor yet q tailor's
son, but We always did like cabbage, and
that "early York." sent US by lady friend
up town, suited our taste to nicely. Many
thanks to the fair donor.
c[Messrs. McBRIDE & Bowen, have just
received another large addition to their
Summer assortment Of goods, which, we
suppose they are anxious to sell for cash or
something just as good.
~ The people Of Washington are in
great glee at the completion of the NJ. Il NJ.
Railroad to that place. A celebration was
to have taken place on the first of Septem-
Der, some in every respect worthy of the &C.
casion.o The Press makes mention of some
fast track laying. 1t says that, through the
energy of Mr.. BlsHop, with only fifty men
Mt his command, one mile and a quarter of
tho track was laid per day, and some days
more than this.
Postpone men, Of Land Sales In Nebraska.
News from Washington, of date August
"a, is to the effect that the Land Sales in
Nebraska, have been postponed one year.
This announcement will prove very accepta-
bic to all those who have pre-empted land
in our neighboring Territory.
~ The Iowa Statesman, published at
Des Moines, in speaking of the NJ. 4 NJ.
Railroad, pays the following merited COM
pliment to one Of our fellow citizens. 1t
says: 'If Mr.. G. NJ. DODGE were the er
ecu,ire portion of this company, We believe
its promises would have ripened into per-
formnnces. Were the Board composed of
such energetic and untiring and enterprising
gentlemen as him, then no resembling vote
would ever have been asked or needed. 1t
being otherwise, q different course is ne
cessary."
The Next Great Enterprise.
The Atlantic Cable being laid, our next
great enterprise, says contemporary, will
be the construction of a railroad and the
extension of the telegraph to the shores of
the Pacific. Much as we rejoice at the
binding of Europe and America by an cleo
trio chain, greater will be our rejoicings on
the dny which celebrates the completion Of
the Pacific Ralroad-,he bond which shall
bind in close, fraternal intercourse all the
parts of our mighty Union.
60 The Detroit advertiser, says the
President and Cabinet don't know what in
the world to do in regard to favoring the
admission of Kansas into the Union with n
constitution of her own choice. They are
rs badly of rs hog in a river-if he
doesn't swim he browns, and, if he does
swim, he cuts his throat.
70 The editor Of the Washington Union exhorts the
American editors to walk In the paths Of recitude
and honor"
A contemporary is Of the opinion that the
Union thinks they may become trouble
some to the Administration, and therefore
wishes them out Of the way. If they tread
the paths of recttudc and honor, they will
be rs far out of the Administrations way,
as it is possible for human creature to be.
ST GEORGE DouGHTY, having retired
from the mercantile business, has opened
in this city general Collecting Agency
From his long business connections and
intimate acquaintance with the people of
Western Iowa and Nebraska, and hi.
thorough business qualifications, We should
say he wns the very man to succeed in an
enterprise of this kind. See his advertise
ment.
q Those "praties," presented by our
friend D. 3. CLARK. are "husky," and no
mistake-such nice ones to bake, and not
bad to take. Our better half, who is
judge Of tho article, declares they just suit
the "paddy" in her nature. Those melons,
too, would pass muster, We think, though
one Of them had a core in it, and the others
were watery. But, We wouldn't refuse more
Of the same sort.
GO The Des Moines Statesman, says
that J. NJ. ELwoop, the Democratic cand-
date for Attorney General, "was never
guilty of pettitogging." Our contemporary
IS not posted. At this place, Mr.. ELwooD,
In political sense, did nothing else but
pettvog, if We except few tall specimens
OF ranting. This is not the first time he
has been engaged in political pettifogging-
We have heard much of the "same sort"
from the gentleman, even within the pre-
cincts OF the Capital of Iowa. In politics,
petsifogging is his forfeit is in that that
he stands first and foremost-do away with
political pettifogging, and hi, occupation
asa politician, like Othsllo's, would be
"gons." Not neutrality-suspicious. We can,
comprehend the Specification of the term.
Stop Grumblins.
Such is the advice given BY the editor of
'0e Cedar Valley Times to his readers, upon
returning to the tripod after visit Of
!e~ weeks at the East. He Money
Is as scarce at the East as it is here, while
zoe iaoorng men are pushed to get along,
having their wages kept back s,x, nine,
.ua'we!ve months. Carpenters wages are
'o'! from IS to 50 a week, and they receive
''y third Of that on Saturdays; the bal
c"'e Kept back. 1t is not only so with
carpenters, but with all other kinds of Ia
W.T. PROVISIONS are double what they are
ae'e' So We advise those who are all the
s"s grumblng about the s'hard times'' to
:.p sos'F internal clattsr, and BE- satisfied
u my can get provisions and store nav for
'osls sssvicss.'' r.- 81.
