1t is enough to make the most mis-
anthropic feel good to stand on some
eminence and take view of the sur.
rounding country at the present time.
Wheat stacks may be seen in endless
number, rich with the golden grain.
Indeed, here in this glorious State of
Iowa this has been blessed sea son
for every article that the farmer pro-
duces. If prices should continue at
the present rates, the autumn bust.
ness will be enormously heavy. Farm
crs would do we'll to take their grain
to market as soon as they possibly
can--for it seems to us that prices vii
not rise fayetteville they may pos
sibly be lower.

/" Florence Percy"

The Philadelphia papers announce
the approaching nuptials Of Paul
Akcrs, the artist, and Florence Per.
Cyl" the poetess. "Florencc Percy
was poetic contributor of ours, in
earlier days. Probably her first print.
ed literary productions were those
which we published dozen years
ago in the Vermont Family Gazette.
She was then but sixteen years OF
age. Her maiden name was Eliza.
beth Anne Chase, and the place of
her nativity was Pennington Falls,
Me. She was early married to a
young lawyer, named NJ. S. NJ. Tay-
lor, who soon left her and went in pur-
suit of gold to the Pacific coast. 1t
is understood that he died there. Mrs.
Taylor, during the last year or two
has been contributor to the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post and
other Philadelphia publications. She
has the present season made a voy-
age to Europe in company with seve'
raj friends, including Mr.. Akers, and
many of her poetic illusions have
been dated at Florence, Rome, and
other European cities. Her poems
show much denth of thourht and
strength of intellect,an in artistic fin
ish they compare well with those of the
most distinguished authors of the
present day. We beg to congratu-
late her upon her matrimonial pros
poets, and ardcntly hope that her af.
ter years may be her happiest ones.

Some of our Democratic friends Of.
feet to believe that VIM. II. Johnson
or Marble Rock, who lately left them
and joined the Republicans, is a man
of no account-no influence indeed,
that he is very mean man. 1t is
true that his appointment, under this
Administration, as Postmaster, is not
much of recommendation, but GER
tainly the Democrats used to boast of
his services as politician-in drum
ming up voters and advocating the
Democratic cause-and it was not
long ago that in the ncighboring town
Of Rockford, where they have eight or
ten Democrats, after organizing them
into "Dougson and Breckless Club, I"
their chief fugler told them that Oh u
future occasion Mr.. VIM. II. johnson
would be present and address them,
and that when Mr.. johnson speaks
his hearers truly enjoy "a feast Of
reason and flow Of soul" Well, Mr..
johnson has spoken, and he verifics
the prediction +; but instead of feeling
grateful, his old Democratic friends
denounce him and curse him for all
that he has done.

If anything were necessary to de.
monstrate the utter hypocrisy of those
Democratic Senators who voted for
the Homestead Bill as agreed upon by
the Committee of Conference, on the
part of the House and Senate, it would
be found in the fact that when the
President returned the bill with his
objections, nearly half those gentle
men dodged- while the remainder,
eight in number, voted plump against
it. Every Republican voted to pass
it over the Presidents veto, Of course
but there was not enough Of them to
do it. And yet on the passage of the
bill before it was sent to the President,
every Democrat but two voted for it,
Could hypocrisy and meanness 60

The recent large rise in western
railway securities in the New York
market is prcdicatcd upon the large
crop of brcadstutls, and consequent
heavy movement to tidewater. The
impression is general that the West
crn roads will have as much as they
can do to move the crops to market
But the activity of the movement will
depend upon the price. The alleged
scantiness of the European harvest
is expected to maintain prices at re.
muncrativc figures until the next crop.
So we hope but the abundance raised
in our country is so unusual, that We
incline to the opinion that very stiff
prices cannot be maintained. The
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try are depressed, and hence the
amount of home consumption of pro-
duce is less than usual. This will
give us more supplies to weigh down
the foreign market.
