1000 MEN

"a
The lessees OF the Keokuk, Fort Des
Moines and Minnesota Railroad have issued
bills calling for 1000 men to work on that
road. This 10 an item Of substantial inter-
est. II looks like real work. The men are
wanted, because the means have been OBJ
tanned to build the road, and now the work
must be done. Let our friends up the valley
note this fact. This is no hghfaluten annu-
oil report, rounded of with q sonorous Pc
riod about that everlasting iron-horse snort
ing through the vallies and over the prairies
before such and such day, if--and--if----
II ia fixed fact. The lessees have got the
spondulies. The work must be done, and
they want one thousand men to do it.

Republican Ciub.

The Club met on Friday evening, and after
receiving the reports Of committees, the Glee
Club was called ont and gave an excellent
song, suitable to the occasion.
Mr.. J. w. Noble was then called upon for
atpeech. He responded in spirited manner.
Ho spoke tf the magnitude OF the Republi-
can party, and the distinctness with which
the Issues between the two parties are now
defined, by the Democrats coming out, for
the fret time, squareiy and openly IN the
enuneiasion of their principles. In listening
10 the Glee Club, be had wondered whether
the Democracy could raise such Clnb?-
What in abe world would they have to sing
ahousP Gould they sing in favor Of Slavery,
or iis extension, or the selfish policy of re-
tanning all the public .lands, and denying
homesseads to the people,l while there is
abundance and to spare?
MIR. Noble 10 one OF the most agreeable
speakers We have here, in any party.
A suggestion was made that the Republi-
can Club take the Glse Club to Chicago, and
the opinion Was expressed that our Glee Club
would not DO excslled by any that might be
there.
Ii 10 expected that the delegation from
Keokuk will be large, and bear suitable
flag. Mfr. Tsn-Eyck suggested q flag twenty
five feet high, with Irrepressible Conflict
ON il.
The Committee on q transparency to be
extended from the front window OF the Hall
reported in favor OF one ten feet long, and
three feet wide, with the words, "Republi.
can Club Room" on it. The report of the
Committee was accepted and the Committee
continued.
The Club adjourned to meet Friday eyen'
Ing, two weeks from that time.

Captain Evans was an old naval veteran of

years and Years before, at Nayarino, which

were coming into fashion. Captain Evans had

could screw fork, as occasion required, and
being gloVed, the deficiency was not easily
perceived. As increasing years rendered him
intirn, his Wallets took advantage of him, so he
wrote 10 us brother, Somersetshire Squire. to
send him up some tenants son fol body SER

merely mentioned that Captain Evans was in

~rThe flowers saw IN the wild wood,
Have since dropp'd their beautifa1eaves,
And4he many dear friends of my childhood,
Have slumbered for years in their graves.
But the bloom of the flowers remember,
Tho their smiles | shall never more see,
For the cold chilling winds of December,
Stole away my companions from me.
The roses may bloom on the morrow,
And many dear friends l have won,
But my heart can beat but with sorrow,
When think OF the ones that are gone,
It's no wonder | am broken hearted,
Or that stricken with sorrow be,
For we've uet, we have loved, we have parted
My flowers, my companions, and me.
How dark looks this wild world and dreary,
When we part with the ones that we love,
But there's rest for the faint and the weary,
And friends meet with lost ones above.
But in Heaven can bnt remember,
When from earth my soul shall be free,
That no Geld chilling winds of December,
Shall steal my companions from nee.

CAUGHT IN his OWN TRAP.

Cornelius Wendell, formerly public printer
at Washington,l recently went before the Black
Republican Covode Congressional Investigating
Committee, and without venturiDg to sustain
by direct evidence charges of corruption against
Mr.. Buchanan, the President, the whole tenor
Of his equiyocating evidence was TO produce the
impression, that be had, at the instance of the
President, in 1857 ond '5S, expended large
proportion OF his profits as public printer to Con-
gress and 10 the Executive, IN keeping up fee
bic Democratic newspapers and to secure the
election OF administration members of Congress.
Shortly after he appeared before the Com
mlttee and thus testified, the following Card
was reproduced, written by him in December,
1873, and which appeared in the Washington
Union. 1t will be seen from ii that he Uoiun-
farity and completely acquits Mr.. Buchanan OF
the Uery charges which he now seeks TO estab-
lish against hIp. Read it:

precisely like setter, when he was in the vi

The Kentuckian, curious to test the reputed
sagacity OF the horse, searched around, and,
sure enough, started three or iour rabbits. He
was greatly surprised, but the Va nkee took the
affair as matter Of course. To make long
story short, the wonderful horse changed own
ers on the spot, $500 being the consideration.
His new owner mounted him, and with char
acteristic hospitality, told the Y Yankee to accom-
pany him home. They soon came 20 a stream,
