Mrs. PARTINGroN ON IKE's CONDUCT I!

Mrs. PARTINGToN ON IKE's CONDUCT IN
CHURoH.-"What do you think will become
of you % said Mrs. Partington to Ike, as
they were going home from church. The
question related to the young gentleman's
conduct in church, where he had tipped over
the cricket, poeped over the gallery, attract
ing the attention of q boy in the pew below
by dropping q pencil, tied with string,
upon his head, and had drawn hideous
picture of dog upon the snow white cover
Of the best hymn book. "Where do you
expect to go to ?'' 1t was question which
the youngster had never before had put 10
him quite so clearly, and he said he didn't
know, but thought he would like to go up
in balloon. sI'm afraid you " i'll go down,
if you don't mend your ways, rather than
go up. You have been acting very badly
in meeting" continued she, ''and l declare
l could hardly keep from boxing your ears
| right in the midst of the Lethargy. You
didn't pay no interest, and lost Ill the
thread Of the sermon, through your tricks"
Il didn't take your thread,' said Ike, who
| thought she alluded to the string by which
the pencil was lowered to the boy !; lit was
fishing line.' ''Oh, Isaac," continued she,
earnestly "what do you want to act 90 like
the probable son for? Why don't you try
and be like David and Deuteronomy, that
| we read about, and act in reprshensible
manner?" The appeal Yves touching and
Ike was silent, thinking of the sling that
David killed Goliah with, and wondering II

Why He WAS NOMINATED. Vinton
Democrat says that Douglass, Democratic
candidate for the Legislature in Benton county,
was nominated "because he, above all others,
can secure us an additional appropriation for
the Blind Asylum" :" '' ss -. +.1i
This is hardly consistent with the attempts
hitherto made by the Democratic press in this
quarter to heap odiu,n upon that useful insti-
tuition by magnifying and disappearing the
appropriations of money already made for it..
'Anything, so it pays" argues the virtuous
Democracy, and accordingly assumes in each
locality just whatever shape will suit its
particular ends the best. Shame on such
duplicity! 1885 .

Dodge has DOdged !

We learn from tho Desmoines citizen that
the Democratic Central Committee have
refused to continue Gen. Dodge on the stump
with Mr.. Kirkwood till the close Of the cam
paign. The appointments heretofore agreed
upon close on the 18th inst, by . discussion
At Keosauqua, in Van Buren county. The
Democratic Central Committee netitied the
Republican Committee, last week, that Dis
trict meetings had bsen arranged fer Gen.
Dodge. which would preclude further joint
appointments. Thus, the Democratic Com
mittee have at last hit upon plausible pretcxt
to get the General out Of his damaging pre-
dicament The Northern portion of the State,
which the Republican Committee proposed
should be canvassed jointly, is thus neglected
by an inglorious retreat from the field on the
part of the doughty General. But it is just
as we predicted. a "a
Z We are glad to perceive that Mr.. Kirkwood
is to be kept on the track. A list of appoint
ments for him, extending from the 10Th inst.
to the Sth Of next month, has been already
published. These appointments are princi-
pally in the Northern part of the State. They
will be found in another column.

money to pay, had better agree to sell at
fair rates than to keep their crops on hand
in hopes of getting better prices. II they
can do well by an carly sale, that will be
found to be a much more advisable plan
than to hold on in hopes Of doing better
Buyers and sellers = merchants and thsi'

to be good counsel.

GONE OvER.-J. NJ. Dixon, of the Warren
Eagle, has gone over to the Democracy, and
is raving like bedlamite about the ''ingrati-
tude of Republics" His former efforts in
behalf of the Republican cause seem to have
been directed under the stimulus of prom
ised reward, and, having met with crushing
disappointment in that line, he has sworn
vengeance, and deserted to the enemy. The
Democratic papers of the Enquirer ilk are
making copious extracts from the Eagle, and
endeavor to give weight and character to its
wild and incoherent rant by representing
Dixon as still professed Republican. The
following, from the Iooa State Democrat, we
offer as repelling that SANDER, and relieving
us of an odious responsibility
We are informed, on reliable authority, that
j. NJ. Dixon, Esq, editor of the Warren Eagle,
and formerly the editor-in-fact Of the Des-
moines Citizen, has openly and formally
renounced and denounced the Black Repub-
lican party, and joined the forces of the Dem
ocracy. The Warren Eagle will undoubtedly
be very able co-laborer in the Democratic
| field.

Nor So EASILY Fooled, Mr.. ScHADE.--Co
Schade, at his recent meeting with Rusch, al
keokuk, charged that gentleman with claim
ing the support Of Germans on the ground
simply, that he is their countryman, making
it a question OF nationality, and not Of princi-
pie He endeavored to raise panic by rep,
resenting that this principle lnight be retail
ated on the part of the Americans, who would
vote for Babbitt because he is an American.
But the Colonel argues, as he very well knows,
from false premises, and what he alleges is the
only claim advanced by Mr. Rush is the very
least and last in a long and thrilling catalogue,
and never put in any such form as the Colonel
gives it. Only Mr. Schade places so low an
estimate on the intelligence Of his countrymen
as to think, in the utter absence of principle,
to lead them CT mislead them at his will. The
great doctrines Of Republcanism-human
rights, human liberty, the dignity Of labor,
education and principles dear to
every true hearted German - these are the
motives presented for their support by Mr.
Rusch. That one of their own countrymen,
representing these principles, and standing
fair in the confidence Of the American people,
is selected for an exalted station of public
trust, may well kindle blaze of national pride
what is to hinder it? Certainly not that
man-ofall- (Democratic)work, Schade. And,
on the other hand, ,ciihout these principles,
what is there in all Gods universe to engage
the support of rejecting Americans fer Bah
bitt, or excite single honest emotion of local
pride? Nothing. When applied to Babbitt,
the question of nationality makes native
born, honest man blush. To what pitiful
strait is the Democracy reduced, in its efforts
to stem the torrent of popular favor that is
rolling in to the support Of Mr.. Rusch, when
it resorts to such chicanery! Schade, in
kicking up the dust after that fashion, only
shows to his countrymen how near the ground
be has got in the service Of his ungrateful
master, and excites either their pity, contempt
or laughter. .

which you quote, you wish the puoilc 10
understand that l have been guilty of the
unpardondble crime (?) Of not putting my
exhibit upon record. In this, again, yourself
and your wise but Cloudy informant are
mistaken. The spirit and the letter of the
law have been complied with, even to the
most minute particular. Being made my own
clerk by law, and the Clerk OF the District
Court having at no time acted as my clerk,
did not trouble that officer, but did as | have

The "NIGeER QUESTION. THE Cincinnati
Gazette truthfully remarks that ''things are
coming to strange pass in this country" !"
The Democratic party, "the great and only
national party" has become party of one
idea, and that one thing is "the Niger ques-
ton" It discusses nothing else; thinks of
nothing else. It's elections at the South turn
upon this. It's candidates for the Presidency
sustain this topic, and no other. Mr.. Douglas
has written several letters, all relating exclu-
sively to this. Mr.. Wise thinks he has a
better chance than Douglas, because his
position on slavery is more agreeable to his
party, The other candidates have an eye to
this one thing. 1t is quite apparent that, Sc
far as the Democratic party is concerned, this
alone will be regarded at the next Presidential
election.
