GLUE FOR READY UsE.-To any guam
tity of glue use common whisky instead
of water. Put both together in bottle,
cork it tight, and set ii away for three or
four days, when it will be fit for use with
out the application of heat. Glue thus
prepared will keep for years, and is al all

er, when it should be set in warm water
before using. To obviate the difficulty Of
the stopper getting tight by the glue dry

it by evaporation. A strong solution o.

There are two ways in which
man can look upon his occupation.
He may take it on the lower, selfish,
vulgar side, and say, 81 regard every
thing practically: / am living in this
world, l am obliged to earn my bread,
and my cbildren's bread, and there is
no use Of talking sbout my doing much
except in my business" A man
is q blacksmith, a carpenter, a day
laborer, a timer. a clockmaker or a
shoemaker and looking at his par
ticular vocation, he says, / have a
humble employment. must gain a
livelihood, and it cannot be expected
that will do much more than that"
A man may take the low and secular
view. Or, looking at the sphere of
duty in which he fiuds himself. he
may say, "God gave me an obscure
position but l will except the place
in which he has put me i; and while
in it will do what am called to do
with zeal and fidelity and at the
same time that am supporting my
family, / can add something to the
other men," A man may feel. IL
can build something, l can beantify
something, and SO, in my degree, |
can increase the treasures Of society"
Though it is but little that man can
do in the community, though what he
does must be done in small way,
yet he may feel, i am contributor

Offices. That redeems life from vnl-

calling to which a man may be APP

by saying, accept it as Gods or

the sake of supporting those that
God gives me, and in part for the sake
of doing good to my generation, III

10 The Editor Of the Charles City Iatelligescer:
SIR The town of Decatur is situa-
ted at the Western terminus Of the
Iowa and Nebraska Railroad. At
tention having been directed to Ne
braska since the passage Of the Home,
stead Bill, and to the above named
town on account Of its intcrminate
connection with the Iowa and Nebras-
ka Railroad, and having personally
received many letters from Eastern
Iowa, asking Information in regard to
the situation Of Decatur--the amount
of timber, and vacant land in its i'm
mediate vicinity subject to the provis-
ions Of the Homestead law-the ma
ture Of soil, climate, &C., take this
method Of answering these inquiries
as the readiest in my power.
Decatur is situated on the Missouri
River, and is the terminus of the Iowa
and Nebraska Railrod, now so rapidly
advancing towards completion, despite
these stormy, warlike times. It is
situated on the ~ parallel OF North

Thomas G. Schaclett, of Meade
county, indited for treason in the Uni.
ted States Circuit Court, has been on
trial in this city since Friday last, and
yesterday verdict Of guilty was rem
dered against him. The case was
tried before the Hon. Bland Ballard,
the prosecution was conducted by the
lately appointed District Attorney,
Thos. f. Bramlette, and the prisoner
defended by WIN. r. Bnllitt and Isaac
ID. Stone. This Schaclett was des-
perado and cut throat, who went of
in 1861. when Buckner attempted to
betray the State, was associated with
Forests command. we think, and
came back with Bragg's invading
army last fall. He left the body at
Red Mills, on the Rolling Fork,
where he arrested the Sheriff, Deputy
Sheriff and Assessor, by the order Of
Bragg, as he said, and succeeded in
taking two away to the rebel camp.
He afterwards killed Mr.. Pearman, tho
Postmaster at Mill Spring under cir
cumstances of unusal and cOld-blOOd-
ed atrocity. as he was endeavoring to
escape, shooting him down despite the
fearful prayers and entreaties of his
wife and family. The Home Guards
of Meade then got upon his track. and
succeeded in arresting him, and. after
indictment and trial, upon which he
was defended with consummate skill,
he has been found guilty of treason.
This is the first indictment aud the
first conviction since the rebellion
broke out, aud we trust that no mis-
taken clemency will prevent him from
being the first to expiate his awful
crimes on the gallows.-LoGisrale

tbe Course Of empire tahes its 0olap."

with no view, however, to intro
dncing them as breeds or to anchor
ate the animals already in the coun'
try, but solely to supply present wants
of labor and food. Beyond this, no
purpose governed their selection. and
no principles of breeding guided their
crossing and propagation. From this
mass Of mongrel blood and ill-assorted
races sprung our so.called natives.
The first cattle brought into the coun-
try are said to have been introduced
by Columbus. The Spaniards after
wards brought over others, from
whence. no doubt, sprung the wild
cattle Of Texas and California. About
the year 1858 the Portuguese took
cattle to Newfoundland, of which, how
ever, no traces now remain and III
1900 Norman cattle we're brought
into Canada. In l6l1 Sir Thomas
Gates brought from Devonshirc and
Hertfordshire 100 head of cattle into
jamestown, and thirteen years later
Thomas Winslow imported a bull and
three heifers into Massachusetts,.
From this time more frequent impor-
tations were made, though still with
little regard to their adaptation to the
localities or to their effect upon the
existing stock of the country, and the
same promiscons course of propaga-
ting them, breeding it cannot be
called )combined with the hard fare
and exposure they were subjected to
in those early days, resulted in race
deteriorated from the original stock.
Even now, if we examine q herd Of
natives, we can see oftcntimes traces
of the breeds from which they sprang,
so prone is chance medley OF blood
to breed back to its original elements.
Having no fixed type to perpetuatc,
and no efforts having been made to
counteract this tendency, as where
breeds are sought to be established
by regular course of breeding the
various ill-assortcd or antagonistic
strains Of blood break out, lending
their peculiar characters to the pro-
duce. Here we see cross of polled
Sussex or Galloway cropping out
there the black and white Dutch evil
IDENTIFY had share in the parentage.
This animal plainly goes back to his
yellow Dutch ancestor. In that one
we see traces of the massive frame
and docile temper of the short-horn,
while in others the active step and
characteristic color of the Devon is
readily distinguished. But in vast
majority no fixed type is discernible,
so inextricably involved has been
their breeding. ..

Iowa and its Prosperity.

With the opening of Spring and the
awakening interest i'm business affairs
attendant on the season, inquiries as
to the present condition and probable
future of our own State, naturally pre-
sent themselves for consideration.
From somewhat extensive inquiry
and examination we are convinced
that in al that constitutes true pros
perity, Iowa is now in better con-
dition, financially and commercially,
than at any previous period of her his
tory. A very large proportion of the
Indebtedness entailed upon our State
by the financial revulsion Of '57 has
been Cancelled some of it by the
payment in full of principal and inter-
est, some by compromise with credit
ors, and much by legal process aud
sale of incumbered property. True,
the process has been severely painful,
but encouragingly fruitful of good re-
suits. Many worthy citizen has
been wcll-nigh ruined in passing the
fiery ordeal--some wholly so--and
many others have been compelled to
forcgo the nominal ownership Of .
quarter section of fertile soil or o pa
latial dwelling. in order to save an
humble forty acre piece" or an un-
pretending residence from the hands
of tn, sheriff. Yet the general result
has been none the less beneficial.
A vast load of debt has been removed,
the annual payment of constantly
increasing Indebtedness for large
amount Of interest, has been avoided,
and there is a general freedom from
| financial embarassments aud care that
pleasantly contrasts with the long
season of anxious depression that
followed the eventual winter Of ST
and '5S. ... .....
At no period during the last fivo
years has the average price of farm
produce ruled SO high, and never has
there been so much sold in Iowa as
during the past winter. In every
quarter of the State the farmers have
been selling wheat and pork for cash,
in quantities that will appear surpris-
ingly large when the statistics shall be
carefully collected AS a natural re-
suit of this, the mass of the agricultu-
raj population of Iowa have been and
now are better supplied with money
than ever before in the history of the
State. Notwithstanding the heavy
drain of the war on our productive
wealth in so materially reducing the
number of laborcrs, never to largely
numerous, Iowa is now as never be-
fore on the high road to substantial
and permanent prosperity. The pros
pect is indeed encouraging and full
of promise With the increased at.
tention devoted to the growth of wool,
flax, sorghum, and other staples. now
everywhere manifested, VIC may we'll
look for = glorious future for our
State.-Darenpors Ga1ette.
