ners. Roughness in manners is no in
dication of strength of character
There is great power in gentleness. -
Nothing is so winning as gentleness.
A gentle, courteous manner should be
assiduously cultivated by every one,
whatever may be his condition in life.
Don't he rough in the treatment Of
minds. Msny minds are grlevously
injured by rough handling. A young
lad, the son Of a hard working farmer,
in retired part of the country, had
an intense desire for knowledge. He
had very limited means Of acquiring
it, but such as he had used with all
diligence. A man Of some literary
pretensions called at the farmhouse. -
The lad listened attentively to his con-
versation. 1t had relation to sub
ject in which he was deeply interested,
and in relation to which he had &C.
CURED some knowledge. To some as
sertion made by the visitor, he modest
ly tated an objection in the form Of
question. "What do you know
about the matter % was the rough re-
ply. The discouraging effect Of that
remark was felt by the lad for years,
though he ultimately took his station
among the intellectual men Of the land.
Don't be rough in dealing with the
feelings Of others. 1t is never safe to
proceed on the assumption that those
with whom you are dealing have but
small capacities for feeling.
SAYINGS OF CIILDREN.-When Mel
lie was three and a half years old, she
CHANGED to visit q cousin, few months
older than herself. They played har-
noniorslyfor some time, but at length
a dispute arose about few beads, of
which each determined to gain posses
sion. Just as it seemed evident that a
struggle would ensue, new idea struck
Nellie. Relinquishing her hold on the
coveted prize, she exclaimed, while her
countenance glowed with satisfaction,
at what she felt to be a conclusive ar
gument-"O, Lizzie, you should re-
member the Golden Rule, to be kind
to each other-give me all Of them"
An artist allowed little Fannie Ito
look over while he drew a landscape
for her. After watching for few
moments the progress Of the picture,
she exclaimed so, Mr.. Wells, do tell
me how you make acay off SO beauti-

pliment, although the critic was only
three and half years old.

A little boy kneeling at his mothers

PERsoNAL.-The following notices of our
self and our paper from disinterested sources
contrast widely with the scurri!ous articles
that have appeared from time to time against
US in the columns of our cotemporary of this
city, Our readers will pardon us, we hope,
for copying some Of the kind congratulations
of our editorial brethren throughout the
State:
The Republicans at Muscatine held
an election to nominate a suitable candidate
to be recommended for Postmaster. Friend
Mahin, of the Journal, is the lucky man,
having received large plurality. He has
labored long and faithfully az Republican
journalist, and has succeeded in Publishing
a number-one paper We have no doubt he
will make faithful and popular Postmaster.
May his fortune be never less fattering than
at present Oskaloosa Herald.
At a recent election by the Republican
citizens of Muscatine, to determine who
should be the Postmaster of that place, John
Mahin, Esq, editor of the Journal, was
chosen by a large majority. We are glad Of
it, as Mr.. Mahin, aside from politics, has the
reputation of being a clever and worthy
man.-lo,oa City Press (Democrotic.) H5 .
The Republicans CT Museatine have des-
ignated John Mahin for Postmaster of that
city. Mahin is the popular editor Of the
Journal, one of the best papers in the State.

FINANCIAL AND CONNER CiAL.
FRIDAY, Feb. 1916 p. N

FRIDAY, Feb. 1876 y. N.
There is no change In the money market except
the growing scarcity Of desirable paper. This
scarcity, coupled with the increasing abundance of
money is likely to tell upon the negotiation of the
new loan this day week. If the present indications
Of a settlement are confirmed there will be very
large number of bids for the new stock.
Exchange is frmer to-day; bankers are getting
los, and doing fair business. The advance since
last mail win be very good news for the people Of
Europe. We note heavy falling off-the frst-in
the importation of dry goods for the week; only
81 0s3 $780, against 81 3li 629 same week last year.
and 50 Ala ,O73 same week of the year previous.
II ia probable that the decline thus inaugurated
will be continued.
The stock market improved to-day, mainly on
the strength OF the prevailing belief in settlement
at Washington. Private letters and dispatches
received to-day are quite emphatic on the point;
and though it is clear that the adjustment Of so
grave difficulty must take time, there were few
persons on the Stock Exchange this afternoon who
still adhered TO disbelief in an ultimate settlement.
More than one person in the street has had the po-
stive assurance from Mr.. Seward, within day or
two, that all will be settled peaceably. Ten
nessees advanced IL per cent this morning; yir-
ginias, 4; Missouris, ~; North Carolinas were
also better. The United States 6s Of 1863, which
sold the other day at 80, sold this morning at o.
good indication for the new loan. The specula-
tive stocks we're dull, though prices were gene
rally higher. New York Central advanced y; Ca
