The Bureau County Democrat, published
at Princeton, the residence of Owen Love-
joy, says that during his boisterous and abu-
sive speech the other day, he referred to the
killing of his brother at Alton few years
ago, and declared he would be avenged
But, adds the Democrat, he was very care
full not to mention how he had defrauded
the disconsolate widow of his brother out
Of the small estate left her by her husband,
leaving her dependant on the charities of
the world. The sister Of the unfortunate
widow is also an inmate Of the Lee county
Iowa,) poor house. Notwithstanding the
destitute condition Of this woman, this boi-.
ferrous hypocrite is constantly prating about
his charity to the runaway niggers that he
takes in and protects, and exultingly pro-
claims that the hungry shall never be turn
ed away empty from the philanthropic door
Of his home. This very generous and
christian man is too great to smile or look
upon the poor objects related to him by the
ties OF consanguinity. To help them might
elicit angel smiles, but it would not carry
him to Congress, where he can preach the
most offensive abolitionism, and boast OF
his niger stealing operations under the
plea of humanity and love to the race. His
sole aim being Office he is willing to ride
any hobby in order to acquire it, while his
poor sister:in-law may pine in want with
out attracting his attention, or receive any
of his boasted charities. Out upon such
villainous hypocrisy by political clergy
man.

half the size of our Upper Iowa. It has
beautiful location, with very rich farming

none better or more inviting in North Iowa.
The dwellings have a neat look, have size,
are finished, and painted. The stores, gen
orally, are large, commodious and well filled.
Some of them would do credit to much
lorger and older place. We took a liking
to New Oregon. The men there are open,

MoRMoN WIvEs-"A FAIR SHAKE" DE-
xANDED.-Brother Kimball, in one of his
famous Mormon sermons, served the follow
ing timely notice on number of missiona-
ries who were starting out on q prosely ting
tour:
Brethren, want you to understand that
it is not to be as it has been heretofore. The
brother missionaries have been in the habit
Of picking out the prettiest women for
themselves before they get there, and bring
ing on the ugliest ones for us; hereafter
you have to bring them all here before TAX
ing any Of them, and let us all have fair
sAaEs."

list minister preach. The preacher argued
that no matter how degraded or abandoned
a man might become, he would Stii' be
saved. The drunkard became much inter.
ested in the doctrine that left him loom for
hope. Unfortunately however, in the midst
Of the argument the minister's mind be-
came clouded and confused and he COM

about to break down. The drunkard, see
ing this arose and supporting himself
against the wall cried OUTPUT her thro'

CoLoRED MEN on THE JuRY.-When the
jury list was revised the present year, it
was entrusted to three aldermen, who re.
ported, among other names, those of Wm.
II. Jankins and Francis A. Clough. Both
are colored BARRIERS, doing very good bust
ness. Mr.. Jankins was slave who ran
away, came to Worcester, and when he
earned the money paid for himself. The
report passed successfully and unanimously
through the Board of Aldermen, and has
now reached the lower branch of the city

she was her "dcar particular friend ?"
Did you ever praise one young lady in
the presence of another, without being con
fidentially told of some enormous fault or
dcformity in the former which you hadn't
dreamed Of?
Did you ever tell your wife what beau

out learning that it was "only that dowdy
old silk dyed over?''
Did you ever know a woman to make an

Did you ever know q woman to apologize,

Did you ever hear of woman who hat
an idea that she was making trouble by he1

They are a race Of unaccountables, these
women, just as sweet and piquant as roses
sometimes, and then again bristling like SC
many venomous thorn bushes.
There's one thing we 1erer ceased to be
inwardly thankful for-that we're not mar
and consequently obliged to marry one o
'em. Why, she would drive us crazy in :
week, with her whims and fancies, her ex
actions and her pettish ways. We would
make the most lamentable, hen-pecked hus
band in the world, unless, indeed, we hae
the nerve to run away from her, or shut he,
up in closet for week until she promised
to behave better. When woman chooses
she can be the nearest thing to All angel O
anything in the world. What pity it i
she doesn't always choose!

scntAt1ve0.

The Election In the House or Repre-
sentatives.
We are often interrogatcd as to the result
in case the choice Of President should de-
volve upon the present House.
Fourteen States, viz: Alabama, Arkau-
sas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia.
Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri.
Oregon, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia
would cast their votes for the Democratic
nominee.
Fifteen States, viz: Connecticut, Indiana,
Iowa, Maine. Massachusetts,, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey.
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land, Vermont and Wisconsin for the Re-
publican candidate.
Maryland and Tennessee for the Opposi
ton candidate, and the vote of Kentucky
and North Carolina would be equally divi-
ded
With Kansas admitted, the Republican
candidate would have sixteen States, but
not a majority. Without Kansas it would
stand: ... .-. e-.a ~
Republican candidate. States
Democratic candidate. IA States.
Southern Opposition candidate. 2 States.
Tied. States.
Total. ..................33 States.
Necessary to choice. c..........l7 States.
If no candidate has majority Of all tho
electoral votes, then the House must, from
tho three highest, make the election, and
that, too, by majority Of all tho States.
If they fail to do this previous to the 4th
Of March, then the Vice President shall act
as President. If no Vice President shall
have been elected by the House, then tho
Senate shall choose one from the two high
est numbers on the list voted for.
I, will be seen, therefore, that, if no Presi-
dent or Vice President should be chosen
next Fall. and if the House Of Representa-.
tives shall fail to elect either, the Senate
will have the appointment Of the Chief
Magistrate, though it can only select from
two names presented by the House. In
effect, the Democratic members Of the
House Of Representatives would have tho
power Of selection.-N Y. Times.
