"Thc Orphans Home Of Industry
Iowa City, june 3, 1862

Why is it that city officers are 50 tender
about enforcing the laws? The ordinance
against sweeping paper or other rubbish into
the streets is severe enough to prevent the
practice, if any officer could be found who
would enforce it. Terrible accidents have oc-
cured from horses being frightened by paper
blowing about the streets, yet no city mar
shall ever did anything more than remon-
strate against the practice. There is no way
to cure the evil but to fine every owner Of a
store or shop where the rubbish comes from.
And the same may be said of every other
ordinance Of the city. People have NO res
oect for the laws or the officers, when they
are begged not to violate the law, again and
again Fine everybody who violates any or
dinaucc, and then the laws and the officers
will be rcspected-ngt otherwise.

HtyTs ON HEALTH.-A Yankee paper copies the following hints on health from Halls Jour, nal of Health, very god authority in such matters. If remembered and practiced, they may save many lives:
 l. fla man faints, place him flat on his back, and let him alone
 ,. Ifany poison i5 swallowed, drink instant. ly halt glass of cold water with heaping teaspoouful each of common salt and ground mustard stirred into II; this voinits soon ns it reaches inc stomach; but for fear some of the poison still remains, swallow the white of one or two eggs, or dtink cup of strong coffee, these two being antidotc2 for greater number of pOisons than any dozen other articles known, with the advantage Of their always being at hand; if not, hat S pint Of sweet oil, lamp oil, or :" drippngs," especially ii they vomit quick F.
 3. The best thing 10 stop the bleeding of a moderate cut instantly Is to cover 1t protusely with coh.wcb, or four and salt, about half and half.
 1. 1.-the blood comes from wound by tets or spirits, be spry, or the man will die in few minutes, because an artery is severed tie a handkerchief loosely around near the part, be, tween the wound and the heart Put stick between the handkerchief and the skin, twist it around until the blood ceases to flow. and keep it there till the doctor comes, if in g. DO. sition where these cannot be used, press the thumb on the spot near the wound, between the wound and heart; increase the pressure until the bleeding ceases but not lessen that press ure for an instant until the physician arrives ! so as to give up the wound by the coagulation or hardening of tue cooling blood. 5. If your clothes take fire slid the hands down the dress, keeping them as close to the body as possible, at ihe same time sinking to the floor by bending the knees; this has a spiotherng effect upon the flames. If not ex. tinguished, and great headway is gotten, lie down on the floor, roll over and over, or better envelope yourself in carpet rug, bed cloth, o other garment you can get hold of, always pre- lerring woolen,
 6. If the body is tired, rest; if the brain i tired sleep.
 | I. If the bowels are loose, lie down in 2 warm bed, and repaip there, and eat nothing until you are well.
 | B. If an action of the bowels does not occur at the usual hour, eat not an atom until the, 1 do act, at least for thirty>six hours; meanwhile drink largely of cold water, or hot teas, and ex ercise in the open air 10 the extent of gentle precipitation, and keep this up until things arc lighted. This suggestion, if practised, would save many lives every year. both in the city anc in the country.
 9. The three best medicines in the world are warmth, abstinence and repose.

TIE WAR IN MIssouRI,-We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the war in Mo-, now is one of fextermnation, on the part of the fed erals. We could fill columns with extracts from the northern papers to prove this. We find in the telegraphic dispatches that 26 priso' ners were shot at Macon city, Mo-, because they had attempted to violate their parole. Twelve more were to be shot on the next day. Priso- ners ia the hands of the federals are murdered, all over the State, cr different pretexts. Late y, they have adopted the plan of killing them on tue field Here is g sample:
 aels- Msior Chas. Carpenter, chiefof the "Jes- sic Scouts,n who did such good service with Fremont in the Shenandoah valley, was in town yesterday His business was known to him. self and to those under whose orders he vas act ing. He retired to St. Louis last evening.

\ WoEDERrUL MAcHINE.~-A correspondent of the Times" writing from London, says:
 The most extraordinary machine in the exei btion IS beyond question the one for microscop- ic writing. This enables a person to write in the usual way, and to duplicate his writing q million times smaller; so small indeed that 1t is invisible to the naked eve, yet with a powerful microscope becomes So plain that every line and dot can bs seen. The inventor claims that with this instrument he can copy the entire Bible twenty-two times in the space of an inch. The Astor Library l presume, could be transferred to sheet of note paper. Practically 1t will be of great service in preventing forgeries. With one of these machines private mark can be put on bills so minute and perfect that the forg- CT can neither perceive nor initiate it, but the bank clerk or broker knowing where to look can at once detect that the bill is genuine. The machiue is he invention of Mr. Peters.

The Yankees at New Orleans got great dea of dirty, trashy cotton. IL is worth forty cents q pound to them, and in order to have 1t cleaned, Butler has contrived all infamous plan to set the ladies of New Orleans to clean it. The Delta, his organ, of the l2th Jnly says that a number of ladies who wore secession badges and dresses of secession color5, were arrested and sent to the pententiary to pick and clean cotton. Is it any wonder conspiracies are formed to murder the wretch. 4 sudden death would be too good. If ever human being de served to die by slow tortures il is Butler.
