Inc iin...nt. and 90 far - self is concerned,
power |. mi one which some normal crooked
sale pOn ~, disposition has always prevented US
n n'Hs. aaontine. IN. Y. Tribune, March list.
There is no questioning the normal crook
edness,' of disposition on which the Tribune
seems to pride itself. Not to 60 far back
the course of that paper since the election
has indicated a singular wryness ooth .,
Judgment and temper. Having heartily anu
successfully labored to place true anu nvn
est Administration in power, the i.'O', 80
a lasting injury to that Administrator 0''..'
it had taken the reins, and rendered a no'a-
h,a .orr;co 20 is enemies, by its ill-considered
admissions that the right OF secession was In
s,r,e sort identical with the right Of sell
ornnent. and that if six or sewn States
u Wished to do SO, they ought to be permitted
TO break up the Union. If that was simply
a blunder, the Tribune has not atoned
for it by any subsequent service. Its columns
have abounded in covert attacks on Mr..
Lincoln's administration, when it most
eeded the hearty cooperation of every pat
riot. The composition of the Cabinet, the
general policy Of the Administration, and a
large share of the appointments, have failed
to receive Mr.. Greeley's approval. His recent
attacks on the more important foreign ap-
pointments must, we think, satisfy the
public, that no good motive lies at the bot
tom OF all this "crookedness.
The appointment of Mr.. ADAMS to Eng
land. though the Tribune considers it blum
der, is approved as most judiclOus by the
country. The appointment of Mr.. DAYTON
to France. regretted by the Tribune, is unex
ceptionable to good men of all parties. And
the selection of Mr.. MARSH, for Sardinia
opposed by the Tribune after opposition Ii
useless, with such curious mixture OF pre-
tended ignorance and undisguised malice
has the hearty and unanimous approval OF al
whose opinion is entitled to any considera
ton. The Tribune is injuring itself by 1T
course. Its readers arc beginning to see tina
having failed to rule, it is now trying t
ruin, and they must rate accordingly Its out
bursts of 81 normal crookedness.'

1.-The Republicans haven the pluck even to
expel Wigfall from the Senate. They have de-
cided majority in that body-one OF their number
introduced o resolution for WigfalPs expulsion
they had power to pass it-but they lacked nerve
to do so, and have buried the resolution in the
Judiciary Committee"
So says the Malone Franklin Gaectte,
whose editor, we take it, knows perfectly
well that 1t requires a t,co-.hird5 vote to ex-
pei a member from the Senate, and that the
Republicans are now barely majority. They
were not that previous to the 4th of March.
All "the nerve" in the world would not help
them What they needed was rotes, and that
the democratic members would not give, to
expel Wigiall, or any other traitor. The
Go>ettc had better put the blame where i t
belongs

The MUscAr1NE PACKET "SuNsHINs."-
This magnificent steamer, in command of
c. L. Phelps, OF this city, made her first az
pearance at our wharf Monday and called
forth the admiration of all who visited her.
She is2lO feet in length, draws only 2 feet
light, can cary 700 tons, and is fitted and fur
nished throughout in superb style, with a
splendid piano in the ladies' cabin. The
boat is nearly new, and cost originally about
200. We are really proud of her as a
Muscntine packet, and hope our citizens
will give her owners all the encouragement
in their power. 1t is the design to run her
as regular weekly packet between this
port and st. Louis.
The Sunshine left Wednesday for St. Louis
with 5000 sacks of corn and wheat destined
for St. Louis; also about 5000 sacks of corn
and SO head of cattle, shipped by Dunsmore
& Chambers, and bound for New Orleans.
The Castle Garden, which was lately
sunk on the Lower Rapids, and raised again,
arrived at St. Louis on Saturday with her
cargo. She damaged very little freight, it
all having been in barges and on the deck

TIE CASE OF Mr.. DuNaAN.--Ou of Hy
druphobia by Mad Stone.-In February
last, We noticed that Mr.. DUNCAN, residing
near New Boston, ILL.,, had been bitten by a
mad dog Mr.. Josiah Pratt, brother in
law of Mr.. DUNCAN, has written letter con-
oerning the case to D. Bonar, of Cambridge,
ILL.,, which is published in the Henry County
Dial BE says:
"Dungan wss bitten about the first of
February. The dog came some ten miles;
got among Dungan's stock, and in attempt.
ing to drive him of, the dog made at him
and gave him some fiftseu tusk wounds on
the hand, before he could make his escape.
One COW and ten hogs, bitten in Dungan's
yard by the same dog, have gone mad and
did. Mr.. DUNCAN has applied maidstone,
which is owned in New Boston; h. has also
consulted noted physician Of Burlington,
Iowa. There is no doubt no,o bu. that he is
entirely cured and out of all danger. Mr..
DUNCAN thinks the physician (whose name
is Merchsnt) could have cured him had he
not used the maidstone, but this makes a
sure thing of it..
This is a we'll authenticated case, and fur
nishes evidence conclusive that the preva
lent belief in the efficiency Of mad stones is
not superstitious delusion.

ugsd one year and sir months:
IDAs gone the face that gladly
chser'd cash gloomy, dreafy day
Now she's gone We mise her sadly
Our sweet little Ida May.
Little fact that ran % lightly,
Quietly DER the cottage floor
Those little eyes, 4 At shone 80 brightly,
Now will shine on u no more
Her little face, 90 sweetly moulded,
Calm as in peaceful rest;
Her tiny hands now gently folded,
Der her little lifeless breast.
Lovely, as prairie flower,
Gentle, as summer day,
Yet death came at midnight hour
And took our little Ida May.
How much We miss that little blossom,
That has passed from earth away;
o, what sadness in our bosoms,
For our little Ida May!
To US, awhile the flower was given,
1t was too sweet on earth to stay,
So God took her up to heaven
Our sweet little Ida May.
Shes gone up to dwell with Jesus
And with angels far away,
And yet we're sad-O, how it grieves US,
To part with our sweet Ida May.
Up in heaven we hope to meet her,
When we too have passed away;
v it'll others there we'll gladly greet her
Our sweet little Ida May. L. A. W.
