Editorial Work.

To those who do not suppose that an ed
itor has any work to do. we will, at the
hazard of being regarded egotistie state a
few facts in our own experience.
Last week the North Iowa Times COD
tanned references to three hundred and four
distinct subjects, exclusive of special noti-
ces, deaths, marriages, and advertisements.
Of this variety in one issue of our paper
two Of the articles were clipped, viz: the
Message Synopsis and the proceedings of
the Democratic Convention of Clayton;
munications expressly to and for the Times,
and two hundred and ninety six of the
references or articles were written by
the Editor. There were twelve columns
of original matter; of this amount we pre-
pared nearly nine, equal in manuscript to
about 60 pages of foolscap. In addition
to this We wrote an Address Ga very poor
one we fear for the State Editorial Convcn-
ton which assemblies at Des Moines on the
l7th; this Address covered 10 pages OF
foolscap, and as i: had TO be read by a
stranger (our business making it impossi
bic TO 60 down to Des Moines) had to be
copied with more care that we usually be-
stow on editorial. Here are SO pages to be
added to the getting up of the paper. max

of course, continual thinking Besides this,
we read nearly 100 exchanges. read all our

FIRE.-A fire occurred in the work shops
belonging to the Mich. and Southern Rail
road, in this city on Wednesday morning
last. A considerable quantity of car ma
teral and large number OF patterns, &c,
were consumed While the fire was under
way, and the upper rooms full Of smoke,
Mr.. Schuyler Conant young man who
had been in the employ of the Railroad
company, attempted to enter the burning
building and save his tools. He became
sulfocated, and was burned to death. Mr.
c. supported by his labor a widowed moth
er and two sisters, and his unfortunate
death leaves them in destitute condition.
His funeral took place on Thursday after
noon. He was at the time of his death, a
member of the Engine Company "Old
Line No. g." of this city, an Odd Fellow,
and formerly member Of the Washing
ton Guard military company. The mem
bers OF the different institutions to which he
belonged turned out in body, to attend
his funeral. Mr.. Zook, another Of the en-
ployees of the Road, was seriously injured,
in jumping from a window in the second
story of the burning building. We did
not learn the loss to the Railroad company

Homo Charity Needed.

When such instances Of suffering, want
and desperation occur, as is thus depicted
by the Chicago Times of the 18th inst. is
it not about time that our humanitarians
direct their charitable attentions from Tur-
key, Timbuctoo and the isles of the seas,
to the poor and unfortunate at home? The
Times thus relates the ease:
A fair young girl was found by the po-
lice night before last in vacant lot, where
she had lain down on the ice with the de-
sign of freezing herself to death Hel

a while as a sewing girl, but the bare pit
tance of wages that she received would not
support her, and she once more retured to
Toronto and lived with her brothers and
sisters. She says that they were very kind
to her, but from some cause about FIVE days
ago she left them and came to this city
When she arrived here the conductor de
tained her baggage, consisting Of single
trunk. She stayed at hotel on Sunday
night, but as she had no money was obliged
to leave on the following day. She tLen
wandered about the city but could find no
employment. She was in g strange city,

course soon became discouraged.

one, and again wandered on until she came
to large sheet of ice. took off her shoes

to death. The night was cold, and her

gradually became benumbed, and finally

FATAL DISEASE AMONG CATrLE.-Onr
agricultural friends viii regret to learn
that Winthrop w. Chenery, Esq, of Bel,

months, by pneumonia or inflammation OF

The last cow that died this week was the

WHAT IS DEATH?
BY REV. GEORGE CLOLEY.
What is death 'tis to be free
No more to love, or hope, or fear;
To join the dread equality
All, all alike are humble there
The mighty wave
Wraps lord and slave!
Nor pride, nor poverty dares come
Within that refuge house-the tomb.
Spirit ,riM the dropping tcing,
And the nerer ,ceeping eye,
Thou of all earth's kings, art king |.
Empires at thy footstoOl lie
Beneath thee strew'd
Their multitude,
Sink like waves upon the shore
Storm skall never rouse them more.
What's the grandeur of the earth
To the grandeur round thy throne
Riches, glory, beauty, birth,
To thy Kingdoms all have gone.
Before thee stand
The wondrous band,
Bards, heroes, sages, side by side,
Who darken'd nations ichen they died
Earth has hosts, but thou canst show
Many Il million, for her one
Through thy gates the mortal flow
Has for countless years roll'd on.
Back from the tomb
No step has come;
There fix'd, till the last thunder's sound
Shall bid thy pris'ne be unbound

Ey- 1t is now nearly one month since
the execution of Cook and Coppic, the ac-
completes of John Brown in the Harper's
Ferry insurrection, and we have yet to see
the first word of regret over their fate
from a Republican source. Subscription
papers are being circulated in every quar-
ter to raise money for the benefit of Browns s
family, but not a thought or dime is be-
slowed UPON the destitute wife and child of
Cook, young man cut down in the prime
of life; novice in crime compared with
his leader. who had grown gray in the vio-
latidn of the laws of God and man; whose
hands were red with the blood of a score
of innocent victins--who had elevated lin
the estimation of his Black Republican sym
pathisers) the stealing of negroes and hor
ses to the dignity of an honorable crime
Why were Republican papers draped in
mourning, and why did the Republican
clergy she'd oceans of crocodile tears over
his fate, and never vouchsafe a word for the
departed spirit of Cook and Coppic? Was
1t because Brown was planning and putting
into execution a work which they heartily
approved? Is their Indifference to the fate
of Cook to be attributed to his bloodless
record, or because he was brother in law
of Governor Willard? These are pertinent
questions, and we should like to see them
satisfactorily answered Shef5y Volunteer.

after State declares in his favor The con-

the leaders of Southern Democracy, that he
will control the Charleston Convention.

bearer, success in .he next Presidential
contest is certain. | hear, from reliable
