The Tribune thinks the city proper has Q
population of 100000, and Brooklyn be-
tween 100000 and 100000, and that the
adjacent suburban population would swell
the metropolitan aggregate to !,oOo,ooo,

There are 900 lawyers, who, at moderate
estimate must receive from two to three
millions of dollars a year for the use of
their tongue and wind, while HOO physl-

science. 1t is easy enough for common
people to see one comet, but it takes re-
porter to see "several' of these strange
visitants:
9P. M.-Saw the comet over widow
Smiths chimney; round luminous body,
with an appendix: very well got up. but a
little too much tail to look well; drank the
comets health in the widows cherry
bounce.
10 p. M.-Increase in size of the comet.

says that comets invariably foretell a
sickly season, and that lager beer is the
healthiest drink extant. Shouldn't won.

ceptible, with a third one coming up in the
distance: star and comets on ldadaaqo.

some of the comet, andis taking them to the
lock up; concluded to 60 with them quite

The Democrats do not wait year. They
have a dozen different sets of principles in
the same campaign. They occupy nearly as
many platforms as there are States. Ask
what Democracy is, and you will receive to-

you inquire in New York or New Orleans.
Mobile or Albany. They are for the tariff
in Pennsylvania, against it in Alnbama,--
They believe in the English swindle in
Maryland, and denounce it in Illinois. They
love the Union in the District of Columbia.
and hate it in the port of Charleston. They
decry iillbusterism in Massachusetts, but
they fit out ships for it in Louisiana. They
spit upon the bred Scott decision in Mich-

bepraise Buchanan in Tammany Hall. and

Political Parties in Observation-Disclosures Largely
Republican.

Political Parties in Observation-Disclosures Largely
Republican.
The course of certain members in the
present Legislature, has convinced us more
thoroughly than ever of the necessity Of n
thorough party organization in the next
election. That we have large majority in
this Territory, is placed beyond all doubt
BY the result of the late election. We make
this prediction advisedly; that in no county
can the Democratic party obtain a m majority
of the legal uoters. They claim Dakota,
but we don't give them even that. Dakota
has sent whole souled Republican this
time, (Mr. Tafe,) than whom there is no
more attentive and faithful member in
either House. Dakota county will consult
her own interest by sending MIR. Taffe back
again.
We say to that party, we will meet you
without fear AS to the result, whenever the
issue is presented. We want to see COM
plete organization of our friends in every
county. We want to know just where can
didates stand, and just where they will be
found fighting on political questions,
before they are elected. Our party don't
want to elect men, who, when they get into
Office join hands with our enemies and light
against their friends. The party has been
deceived in some instances. We ought to
have had n delegation from Otoe entirely
true. We ought to have had rhote Re-
publican from Burt and might had the issue
been made. The member from that county
was so independent, that he couldn't vote for
either Judge Bennett or Mr.. Fleming, for
Speaker. Some people are so independent
that they convince other people that they
have no independence at all We prefer an
open enemy to false friend. Give US "a
fair field, open fight, and the victory is
ours. Stand from under !-Omaha Repud-

We observe n portion of the Iowa Press
are agitating the question of an extra SEES
sion of the Legislature. We can see no
reason or arguments that 90 to establish
the necessity for an extra session. An extra
session should never be called except upon
the most cogent necessity. No truth stands
forth in more shining relief than that the
whole civilized world is legislated too much,
and Iowa is embraced in said civilized world.
The declartion that aid might be given to
Railroad building throughout the State by
calling the Legislature together is, in our
Judgment, by no means established. hid
the Legislature possess the undoubted pow
er, the propr'ety, the expediency Of the
measure would still be a question demand
ing the most careful and serious considera-
ton. The old adage ''marry in haste and
repent in leisure,' is no less true and appli-
cable in matters of legislation. Legisate
in hurry and leave posterity to do the work
of repentance is not dictated by the princi-
pies of sound policy, economy or Justice
We shall have something to say on this
subject hereafter.-Iowa City Rep.

The New Gold REGIONS,

The evidence continues to accumulate
with reference to the existence of gold on
the South Platte. Intelligence upon the
subject is no longer confined to any one
class Or body of men, but is derived from
others besides the traders in the mountains,
who it was at first supposed were getting up
and giving currency to the reports through
self-interest. A Fort kearney, n. T., cor
respondent writes to the New York Herald
that on the I'd of October there arrived a
man from the gold diggngs on Cherokee
Creek and Fort st. Nrain, with about
$1,000 worth of gold, partly clean gold dust
and partly gold quartz, which he had got
there.
His tools were very deficient in quality,
consisting Of knife. Ratchet, and Dutch
oven to wash the gold in. He was on his
way to the States, with the intention of
getting proper tools and provisions and re-
turning in the spring. \ train of twelve
wagons, with miners, provided with a twelve
months outfit, arrived at the Fort on the
same day, on their way to the creek.

The LOyin. mOcracy.

Here is the way the Fort Dodge Sentinel
speaks of J. B. Dorr, the leading democratic
editor of Northern Iowa. How these har-
monions democrats love one another:
sit has been truthfully said that no man
in Iowa has done more, in proportion to his
ability, to divide and distract the democratic
party of the State, than j. B. Dorr, the
editor of the Dubuque Express & Heraid.-
Stubborn and concerted, he has evnced a
disposition to ''rule or rum" and his would
be virulent attacks have been as often direc-
ted to the most distinguished and honorable
members of our own party as to those of the
opposition.'
We call upon the democratic papers
throughout the length and breadth of the
land, to expose this traitor, and denouncc
his treason We call upon every honest
democrat in the State, who has at heart the
success of the glorious principles of the great
party to which he is attached, to point the
indignant finger of righteous scorn at the
loathsome, noxious reptile, until, streaming
with filth and reeking with corruption, he
creeps his Shiny. pestilential way into the
grave of political infamy."

Advantages of Trees,

We do not know the author of the fol.
! lowing beautiful and comprehensive notice
of trees, but we think its perusal will cause
many of our readers to involuntarily and
heartily respond to the familiar and very
popular language Of the soDg-"Wo Goldman
spare that tree"
GLOW beautiful, most beautiful of earth's
ornaments are trees. Waving out on the
hills and down in the valleys, in wild wood
or orchard, or by the wayside, Gods spirit
and benson seem to US ever present in the
trees. For their shade and shelter to man
and brute; for the music the winds make
among their leaves, and the birds in their
branches for the fruit and flowers they bear
to delight the palate and the eye, and the
fragrance that goes out and upward from
them forever, we are worshipful of trees.
''Under his own vine and fig tree"-what
more expressive Of rest, independence, and
lordship in the earth Well may the Arab
reverence in the date-palm a God given
source of sustenance. Dear to the Spaniard
is the olive, and to the Hindoo his banyan,
wherein dwell the families of man, and the
birds of the heaven build their nests. r With
out trees what desert place would be our
earth-naked, parehed, and hateful to the
eye. Yet how many are thoughtless of the
use and beauty of trees. How many strike
the axe IDLY or wantonly at their roots
Above all other things in the landscape, we
would deal gently with trees. More beauti-
full where and as God plants them, but
beautiful even as planted by the poorest art
of man, trees should be protected and pre-
served.
"lf he is benefactor who causes two
blades of grass to grow where one grew
before, how much greater his benifcence
who plants tree in some waste place,
to shelter and shade, to draw thither song
birds, and to bear fruit for man. Plant trees,
0 man, that hast waste land, and be careful
of those that are planted .s..,. 2. Z

THANKSGIVING.


The people Of Iowa will do themselves an
important service by observing Thursday,
the 18th day of November next, as day
Of Praise and Thanksgiving to the Lord Of
Heaven: for that His name is still excellent
in all the earth, and that He is never weary
in the dispensation Of His benefits and
blessings.
If He has not filled our barns with plen-
tiful harvest the past season, He has
nevertheless given US remarkable health,
watered our beautiful plains bountifully
with the showers Of God that we may be
prepared for greater increase of fruits.
By His Providence He has shown to US
the strange evanescenee of riches which
have wings, the folly of attempting to fare
sumptuously every day in vain schemes OF
speculation instead of hardening the hand
and moistening the brow with honest toll.
For these and all the other mercies of life
let us on that day 60 into our temples OF
worship, and fill them with thank offering to
the God of our fathers.
Praise Him for giving to this whole lane
so largely of His spirit by which the face:
of multitudes have been turned Heave
ward.
Praise Him for the Christians faith, the
spread of our holy religion, the trlumphs OF
science and the progress making in thu
peaceful arts.
Praise Him for the moral and socia
Improvement of the race by means oil
ntercommunication of telegraphs and rail
ways.
Let the spirit Of Divine truth be invoked
to push forward all the great enterprises Of
the age, and that the out going of the morn
ing and evening may still continue to rejoic'

A contemporary says--"It being rather
pompously announced in democratic jour
nal, that one of the cardinal principles OF
the Democratic party is hostility to Bank
notes and paper money as circulating me-
dunn, the National MteiHyencer asks, 'why
is it, if the Democracy during the last
twenty years and longer have proved 'their
unqualified hostility to bank notes and paper
money circulating Medium that the coun-
try is still plagued with these denominations,
Notwithstanding the omnipotence of the De-

only safe constitutional currency why have

O. When Napoleon sent hostile force
within the Tyrol, to subdue Hofer, tina,
fearless mountaineer caused his men, so the
historians say, to pile enormous masses of
rocks and stumps upon the declivities of the
mountains, and when the Emperor's troops
were passing within the gorges, word was
given by Hofer, SIN the name of the Holu
Trinity, let all t0ose!" The Pennsvlvanians
seem in the recent Election, to have let all
loose, without any appeal, however to the
Holy Trinity.

Some persons seem to think that to be.
come practical farmer, one must necessa-
rily possess a rough, filthy exterior. That
some excellent farmers, unpublished and oc-
casionally filthy in their persons, is true,
but it is not the want of good breeding, nor
the appearance of filth, that constitutes the
ability to become a good farmer. Is it not
rather the possession of an intimate knowl-
edge Of the facts and principles involved in
the art Of agriculture, and a sound Judgment
to exercise them to agood end? Caddr Val
