uiaas . Broadway.
TW. W. Jonxsox, who - corporal
in The Iowa til, and took IN active part N
tie battle Of Bsinons, has painted panos-
ana representing the principle events Of
that memorable engagement, snd Is nov
exhibiting the same through this Ssass.-
Hope he'll give n call oatthis vay. and
les q. zee What real Sighting looks like.
TPsyson Brovnlov's assspaper snes
with its appsrsenances, has besa turned to
very difsrens purpose than that Of ito
former bold Issues. The building . ao~
used a. rebel ar.sry, and the ssean engine
turns The uaehinery that repairs and rene
Yates tho Numerous guns that have bees
taken from the Union men in the vicinity
Of Knexvilie.
~Itis notable fact that when the sun
.hines, and Ne have promise Of warmer
weather, the town immediately becomes
.sfulr'' Of vood-svsry alternate team that
wc meet on the street draws cord of wood.
But let the North wind 'sstrike up tune, /"
the sun ego ons,'' add the aspects dentte
epeli Of weather then sympathize
With those who are 90 unfortunate as ia
have 'los' wood pile; for you might search
the streets from one end Of town to the
other, but ssnasy" load Of wood is to b
found.
eTOf all classes Of thieves known to
history. she newspaper thief is the most con-
temptib!e. Several of our subscribers
have complained, Of late, that their papers
have been stolen from their doors. We are
on toe lockou: for these gentlemen, who
read the news at the expense Of their neigh
bors, and if We succeed iu learning thei'
names {if Abey have any-and We don't be-
iieve newspaper thief should be allowed
to have name,) We will give the public ths
the benefit Of our information, and the said
gentleman the benefit Of an advertisement
free of charge.
HCol. BABnrrr, in his yesterdays pa
per, perpe.rated 6rss.rate joke on Col.
Nurr and Col. MAYNARD; with the exception
Of two or three small errors, the Colonel,
joke is good one. ls,ly, Col. MAYSARr
didn'tgo to Omaha with Col. NUrr and Col
Nrrr's pony, therefore Col. M.'s share Of
Col. BIS joke, is so much solid wit wasted
2ndly, Col. Nurr aiu's pony, a. Col. B. in
sinuates 10 bis joke, Col. Ms "hoss"-s
whole team-and therefore Col. Ms share
Of Col. BPS joke is not only inapplcable,
but slanderous. With these exceptions Col
B.'s joke is good one, and funny.
~We maie hustle to announce that the
Iowa Legislature has, at length, accomplish
ed something! After consuming at least
two DAYS 10 debate and the airing Of Par
liamentary tactics, on tho question
ssybe;her the members should stick stamps
| IN the letters and documents they send off,
or hire a man to do SOFT decided that
the members should perform the task
Of sticking on their own stamps. -
Accordingly, each member is furnish
ed with 13l onc-cent stamps, and 10
three cent stamps, each week. 1t cost the
State ono thousand dollars to settle this
momentous question. A man could have
been hired to perform this service, during
the session, for three hundred dollars. 1t
10 thus our legislators "save at the spigot
and waste at the buug-hole." Tva L'gis-
lative economy.
