How Public opinion IL Manufactured
Against the Hook Island Bridge.
fFrnm the Davenport Gazette.1

Against the Hook Island Bridge
fFrom the Davenport Gazette1
One OF our contemporaries across the river re-
cetlv charged II. with being personal toward
the St. Louis Chuu,bcr Of Commerce to smell
around our bridge, note accidents, and gather
testimony to use against the Bridge Company
before Courts. We denied it, simply because
we had treated this gentleman with more court
csy than he was really entitled to. That our
complaining cotemporary may appreciate how
little courtesy is due Basel and those rho en-
ploy such an agent, VIC make the following e1-
tract from the testimony taken couple Of days
ago before tho Attorneys for the defence ia the
the case of James Ward rs. the Bridge Company.
Mr. John E. Smith, pilot Of the steamer keokuk,
testified on oath as fotlows:
"Mr. Disselt offered me ten dollars not to
take the kcokuk through last Saturday: lie
told me he wanted to see her have trouble at
the bridge. lie said be knew there wore pilots
that went through the bridge, who were not tit
TO run steamboat after they got above the
bridge. He said he wanted to show Ar. Cook
that 1t required good pilot to 60 through the
bridge"
When Mr. D. made this rascally proposal, 3lr.
Smith did not know him, aud asked 3. who he
was. lie answered we are informed, that be
was iu favor Of the bridge , and the principal
man acting for it {!} He asked Smith how
much be rot for taking the Ecokuk through, aud
lie said eS5. Bisscll then said be would not
mind giving Smith the same not to take her
through.
This illustrates the nature, dignity and decen-
cy Of the st. Louis war against our bridge, and
the moral standing Of the agents it uses to se-
cure small advantages. It probably illustrates,
too. that if we should so fur forget ourselves rs
to indulge in abusive personalities towards
Mr. Nissell, his own course might justify our
severity.

Amour CARA curious incident occurred
the other afternoon, at the house of an acquaint-
ance, where some ladies were on a visit. A little
girl, daughter of the lady of the house, went to
neighbor's for some herb, to make tea for little
sister, who was unwell On her return with 1t. a
fayorte cat, belonging to the family, sprang upon
her, and was with difOulty prevented from scratch
ing her in the face. The cat was at length driven
out Of the house, and the herb placed 10 a cup.
board in the room where the company we're seated.
Shortly afterwards the cat got into the room, and
exhibited signs, Of hydrOpbobia! The ladies
were alarmed, and left the room. For q while
everything was in disorder, and a messenger was
sent to a neghbor's for some one TO come and kill
the cat, which was believed to be mad! An old
lady answered the summons, club In hand, and
after asking few questions aseertAnsd that the
little girl upon whom the cat had made the attack
had 'catnip' in her hand. She at once OWNED ths
eauss-the cat was crazy for a nip At III The cat
nip was brought out and q supply given the cat
when all symptoms of rabies left hor.

some occasionally, and thatthey will not be healthy
without It. Persons having good cats should keeT

The fact that the Journal advises delay Of

he is deairOus Of instituting. The attack Of
the Commercial upon the Journals position
exhibited its weakness. II is unfortunate that

be done by meeting the question directly, and

the time has passed for enacting this work
peaceably. 1t might have been done, possibly,
during the late canvass had the spOilsmen not
sacrificed every thing 10 harmony and the negro

1he celehration thla nvenlns.

We have already taken occesion to call the At
tention Of the roador to the Centennial Annivsr-
sary Of the birthday Of schiller, lie celebration
commencing this evening At Bsokers Hall. We
seed only say that to-day and tomorrow BY every
German community thropg pghout this land not only,
but throughout the whole Of Germany, and every
whore on the globe whore Germans are settled, are
considered patriotic holidays. Frederick Schiller,
the great, IL not the greatest, Of German poets,
was born on the 10th Of November, 1859, and his
aory is held dear by every one, be he German
4 or not, who has the good fortune to read and nm
derstaod his works. Our own Byron always had
Schiller with him ipRll his ramblings through the
world, and he hvowS bat the pleasure to read
Schiller in his own lahgaage would outweigh all
the sxertions made In acquiring German. schillers
greatness rests not upOn the unrivAllsd wealth Of
his poelie soul he was hess the less philosopher,
and, like all great ard pure minds, imbusd with
that fervsnt love Ofliberty and public morality
which distinguished the heroic founders Of our
own independence, II is not, therefore, amiss,
that the Germana in this country, where the
dreams and wishsss the hopes and prayers Of their
own great they hId substantially realized, should
gather around thaaltar Of alial devotion, and in
vite their fellow citizens Of other nationGties to
join with them ~ doing honor to the spirit and
genius Of the great departed. And in Germany
itself, still despOt-rdden and oppressed, this Gel
ebration Is hailed with unboundOd enthusiasm,
and finds welcome response In the heart Of eve
ry true man; for it was liberty, secured BY law,
hatred 10 tyrants and tyranny. that inspired the
poet 10 hs greatest and most admired works. II
lie this love Of liberty, and this hate Of tyrants,
pervadng all glasses Of the German people, which
prompts them to grasp at this favorable OppOrtu-
nifty to demonstrate to their rulers that though
oppressed they are not yet subdued.
Such is the character Of the Schiller Festival
here and in Europe. and this alone ought to in
duOe our population extensively to pRtrOnizs II,
and to show by their presence that they appreoi-
ate all liberal feeling, no matter where and in
whom it may be found. Moreover, we can say
that the programme for to-nights concerts most
excellent one. Some Of our best and most emf.
nent amateur artists have proffsrsd their welcome
assistance in furtheFance Of the noble object and
Judge Haynes and Mr.. HOfer, the former in Eng
lish. the latter in German, will deliver orations
upon the occasion, To morrow evening, also at

@aF- A late issue of Hunts Merchants Maga.
zine, in an article on buckwheat as food, says that
considering its good qualities, 1t is probably les'
appreciated than any other grain. Writers on
agricultural products seem TO eschea it as food
for man, and regard It only as a mischievoui
aduIturntion Of wheat -four, or as product Of
poor soil for cattle. 1t is of q totally different
family of plants from the cereals and will flourish
on sand hill sides which are barren for other grain
1t is probably the most easily cultivated and
cheapest bread grain in the world. 1t is exten.
sively cultivated in Belgian, and some parts Of
France, where 1t forms the basis Of food for the
Inhabitants. Though Its properties are very DIFF
fsrent from wheat, il is nevertheless quite as Iich
in all important compounds, and in extremely
cold weather. tits more substantial than wheat
It is however, less digsstibe, and apt to dsagres
with weak stomach or persons unaecustOmod Ia
IL. By analysis buekwheat is second 70 wheat in
gluten, but deficient in starch. By the addition
of one-fourth quantity Of oat or Indian meal to
buckwheat -four, the -four is very much improved.
