SDUBCQUE.-AlrpuQE
several OF our business men commenced ship.
ping their goods via Dubuque and Indepen.
dence, and some of them, we learn, are replen.
ishing their stocks in the former place, finding
they can purchase at full as low figures there
as IN Chicago, thus saving the extra freight
between those two points. We are confident
others will do likewise, if Dubuque dealers
make the proper effort to introduce themselves
and their business facilities to our merchants
and tradesmen.-Tinto Eagle.
EF- 1t seems to us that now is GER
tainly the time for Dubuque men to
make the effort to turn the trade OF
Northwestern Iowa to their own city.
The business men of the interior realize
the Importance of having city of whole
sale business establishments on the Up.
per Mississippi, where their stocks may
readily be replenished, and would glad
see Dubuque taking that position. They
are ready to encourage the business of
the Key CRY whenever they can do SO
consistently with their own interests.
Dubuque at one time, in her anxiety
to secure the up-river trade, ceased to
pay any regard to the trade Of the inter-
ior. That policy she soon found to be
inimical to her interests, and thenceforth
she sought, by extending her lines of
railroad westward, to draw to herself the
trade that is legitimately hers. But her
merchants have not yet awakened to a
proper effort. They neither bring their
business before the people of the interior
by advertisement or by personal effort.
While St. Louis, Chicago, and Eastern
men are among us constantly, soliciting
trade, we scarcely see Dubuque mer-
chant prosecuting his business here
This is all wrong. Personal and persis-
tent effort must accompany low prices,
to induce trade, and when this is done
Dubuque will reap the harvest of the
trade of Northern Iowa.
One great drawback to trade seeking
the DUBUQUE route is certainly the inor-
dinate tax levied upon everything by
ferriage across the river at that point
AS things are now, all freight has to
break bulk at Dubuque, at considera-
BILE cost, and at delay Of from twenty
four to thirty-six hours. This makes
the cost Of shipping freight from six to
eight cents greater by this route than by
the Cedar Rapids or McGregor routes.
Consequently it sends large amount Of
freights by these routes which would
otherwise come by Dubuque, and drives
many business men to Chicago for pur-
chases which they might make in Du-
buque. Let Dubuque get rid Of that in
cubus of ferry, and our grain and cat
tie buyers will then be able to compete
with those of Cedar Rapids and Nc Greg
or, and large amount Of business now
seeking those points will be turned Du-
buque- ward, and much trade, which
finding no market at Clinton or McGreg-
or, goes to Chicago, would stop at
Dubuque. 1t is matter of which our
Dubuque friends should take immediate
cognizance, for, now, while business is
reviving throughout the interior, is the
time to control its direction.

Mention has been made of those griefs,
wholly secret and silent, which are never
guessed by even closest friends; the sa-
cred self-control of which makes them
easier TO bear than many lesser anguish.
In contrast TO these may be placed the
griefs that everybody knows and nobody
speaks oE-such as domestic nnhappiness,
disappointed love, cArking worldly cares,
half-guessed uukindnesses, dimly-sGspcct-
ed wrongs; miserie- which the sufferer re-
fuses to acknowledge, but suffers on in a
proud or heroic silence that precludes all
others from offering either aid or symPa-
thy, even ii either were possible, which
frequently it is NOT. In many of the con-
junctures, crises and inyolvemeuts of hui
man life, the only safe, or kind, or wise
course Is this solemn though heart-broken
silence. under the shadow of which it
nevertheless often happens that wrongs
slowly work themselves right; pains les
sen, at all events, TO the Level of quiet
endurance; or an unseen hand, by some
strange aud sudden sweep of destiny,
clears the dark and thorny pathway, and
makes everything easy, and peaceful, and
plain.
But this does not always happen.-
There are hundreds of sileut martyrs in
whom keen observer can See the shirt of
horse-hair or the belt of steel points under
the finest and most elegantly worn clothes,
and for whom, To the shOrt-seeing human
eye, there appears no possible release but
death The only consolation for such is
the lessou-sublime enough to tighten n
little even the worst tOrment-taught and
learned By that majestic life-loug endur-
anee which has for its sustelapce strength
celestial that We know not of, aud for
which in the end await the mortyr's bliss
and the martyrs croWn.-!Aiss HUIoeh.
