Major General Dana has consolidated the
38th Iowa Regiment with an Indiana Regi-
ment. If consolidation was necessary, why
was not the 38th united with another Iowa
Regiment? 1t would have suited the boys
much better, and would have been much more
respectful to the States represented by these
Regiments.-Desmoi,ses Reg.
TIE SIDNEY Court HOUSE, The Council
Bluffs Ninparisl states that the Court House
at Sidney, although badly damaged, is not a
total wreck. An outlay of $500 will place it
in q condition to be occupied, but it will never
be so serviceable as it was before it became
the victim Of Gunpowder Plot. The per-
petrators of the diabolical deed have not yet
been brought to justice.
The Cedar Rapids and Missouri River
Railroad was opened last week IA miles fur
Their west. Its present terminus is at State
Centre, only 43 miles from Desmoines. This
makes it the nearest road to the Capital, the
present terminus of the NJ. & NJ R. R. Grin
nelly being So miles distant. The latter road
will, however, be opened to Newton (35 miles
from Desmoines) by next spring and to the
Capital in year from this time.

Habits of Husbands.

The habits of husbands, with regard to thu
treatment Of their wives, are so various tina
the question can only be answered by indi
vidual specimen of each mode:
Some husbands never leave home In The
morning without kissing their wives and bid
ding them ''good bye, DEAR" in the tone o.
unwearie1 love; and whether it be policy OF
fact, it has all the effect of that, and those
homes are generally pleasant ones, provided
always that their wives are appreciative and
welcome the discipline in kindly spirit. W.
knew an old gentleman who lived with hi
wife over fifty years, and never left his home
without the kiss, the goodbye, DEAR"
wives and hurry off as soon as possible, as
though the effort were something they were
anxious to forget. hold their heads;down, and
dart around the first corner.
Some husband: only say "well, wife, I an
going" and start at the word ''go," which
comes to them from some back retreat.
Some husbands. before leaving home ask
very kindly, what would you like for din
ner, d4ar?" knowing all the while that she
will select something for his particular palate
and off he goes.
Some husbands will leave home withou,
saying anything at all, but thinking a good
deal, as evinced by their turning around Al
the last point of observation, and waving an
adieu at the pleasant face at the window.
Some husbands never say q word, rising
from the breakfast table with the lofty indif
ference of lord, and going out with heartess
disregard to those left behind.
Some husbands never leave home without
some unkind word or look apparently think
ing that such course will keep thing,
straight in their absence.
Some husbands are called away every eve
ming by business or social engagements, some
doze in speeches. stupidity on the sofa till
bedtime
Some husbands are curious to learn of thei.
wives what has transpired during the Day
others are attracted BY nothing short Of 9
chld's falling down stairs, or the house TAX
ing fire.
"Depend upon it." says DR.. Spooner, ''that
home is the happiest where kindness and in
terest. and politeness, and attention, are the
rules on the part of husbands-of course oil
the responsibility rests with them, and temp
tation finds on footing there"

The Independence Guardian.

Probably no journal in the State has been
so remiss as ours in publishing kindly no.
tees of our editorial brethren. When We do
speak thus, it is because we believe the SUBJ
ject Of our notice is worthy Of very much
more than we can possibly say. Were we
to return the compliments paid US, we should
occupy these columns to an almost unlimited
extent. We have never conducted OUT paper
on the theory of "You tickle me and III
tickle you," and therefore when we speak a
good word for friend Rich, of the Guardian.
we don't know that we owe him any special
favor. The Guardian is one Of the best
weeklies in Iowa. This is not all it is a
strong, earnest, wide awake, influential paper,
made up of choice scissorings and = greater
amount of original matter than any other
weekly in the State. Its editor, j. Rich,
ESQ.,, is a man of cultivated mind, and 81
great social worth. We have known MIN
only to admire him. He has vigorous
style of grasping and dealing with errors
His partizan zeal does not seal his lips against
the hayward of his own party. The inAu
ence of his pen was demonstrated in the re-
cent election in the heretofore closely con
tested county Of Buchanan.
We extend Brother Rich our night hand o.
congratulation, and bid him God speed. To
his patrons we would say, sustain you,
paper; don't let its influence be weakened
by your apathy. The paper is just what il
should be, and should be sustained.
In conclusion, we are more than pleased to
learn that Brother Rich is solicited to become
. candidate for Clerk of the Iowa House oil
Representatives. If he isn't unanimously
elected, we shan't think much Of the good
judgment Of that body. No man better quail
lied for the position can be found in Iowa.
A rapid penman, fine reader, of quick mind
and unsurpassed social qualities, he would
give universal satisfaction.

The individual whose name heads this ar.
ticle was elected to the Federal Congress from
one of the Districts in Arkansas in 1860, but
being crazed BY the heresy Of Secession never
appeared to take his seat, as did Wigfall,
Breckinridge, Powell, and other traitors. -
CAN'T plunged boldly into the war against
the Union, did his utmost to aid the rebel
arms, aud was at last taken prisoner and con.
fined for months in the Federal lines. He
had an opportunity to be exchanged. but hav-
ing seen the insanity Of his own cause and
that Of his associates, preferred to remain
among Union people, and thereupon issued
an address from Little Rock to the People oil
Arkansas, appealing to them to throw down
their arms and return to their allegiance to
the old flag. This conversion ought to be and
is welcome to loyal men, but see how it is re.
ceived by the editor Of the Dubuque Herald:
1--WE suspect thou 'canst' is the reason for
the late action of CAN'T. He, very probably,
having become Brigadier, wanted to be a
Major General, and couldn't be. He nay,
too, hare read something of the success which
marked the bawdy patriotism Of Parson
Brownie 2, and desired to enjoy similar hon.
ors. Whatever may have been the ieason oil
his apostacy. the effect can be very c'rrectly
estimated. CAN'T will flourish for awhile un-
der the tutelage of the Union Leaguers, and
then 20 do~n, while the rebellion which he
rebels against will be ponderable and un.

A Northern man who will thus repel re-
pentant enemy and eulogize the cause which
that enemy has abandoned, must be the in
carnation Of devllishness An ordinary
Southern Traitor is an Angel of Light com
