Question.

Copy of the Petition of the city
Council OF Keokuk on the Eiauor
Question.
To the General assembly Of he Stote OF
Ioica
Your petitioners, the Mayor and City
Council Of the City IF keohph, respect
fully represent that in their opinion, the
present Prohibitory Liquor Law comes
far short in its practical workings of ans
wering the purpose for which it was de-
signed. On the contrary the vending of
ardent spirits has greatly increased since
the said Law was enacted, and all the
evils of intemperance have multiplied un-
der its operation, for the law is almost
wholly imperative, and practically null
and void.
What IN our opinion is required, is a
good license law, giving to counties,
towns and cities the power Of licensing
the sale of liquors to such persons as they
think fit to vend them. and upon such
terms as shall make it improbable for
other persons either to take out license
or to attempt to sell without one, to
which the following resolution is ap-
pended.
Resolved by the City Council Of Keo-
Lub, That the Representatives OF Lee
county in the General Assembly of the
State of Iowa, now 10 session. be re.
quested to present the subjoined petition
to the Assembly. praying for she repeal
of the present Liquor Law and the enact
ment, IN its stead, of jadicious liquor
law

We understand that counter move.
ment to the above win be made, and that
remonstrsnce will be presented to our
citizens for signatures.

1s- The Christian Examiner for tn

1s- The Christian Examiner for the
present month in an admirable essay on
the patience of Hope" relates the fol-
loving curious and suggestive incident:
Charles Dickens sat in the cham bers in
London, in full flush of the fame Of fame
Of his "Pickwiek Papers" He was pre-.
pairing another story TO be published, as
all his great works were, IN numbers,
with Illustrations. One day man came
in and said, Il have come, sir, to ask YOU
to look at some sketches | wan, To be
the artist for your new book. The young
author glanced over them. and then said
kindly we are sure-ssI think YOU will
not do" The man went away; worked
faithfully along both with pencil and Len;
wrote little books, papers for public jour
nals-whatever came in his way. Years
passed; be was still known to those only
that are familiar with the second-rate
names in London literary circles. One
day he carried great bundle of manu-
script 10 publisher, with proposals tc
prlntit. 1t was refused. Finally anoth
er ventured on it, and the world AZ sud
denly full Of wonder over the story O
"Vanity Fair" The most popular au-
thor in Britain had from that day a d.
vided kisgdom.
REFINEMENT OF THE CAMPAIGN -
The London Telegraph (Dee. l6) speak
ing Of American affairs. says: ReGneme Mt
has been exteaded to the campaign; and
the same republican impotence to secure
for all ranks the distinctions granted 10
Europe only 10 the few, is enabling even
the ordinary general officer to we with
the most potent imperial commander that
ever lost a victory. The carriage with
which the ladies Of New York have late
ly supplied Gen. Sickles for his campaign
ing purposes. is in itself very bilou Of
war engines. An English landau Amer
icanized, with dickey for two orderlies
with movable coach box, and bright
lantern within, the carriage combines in
its interior the drawing room, official bu
reau, dressng-room, bed room, kitchen,
aud all. Thus the gallant generai-ilius
trious in history for once refusing to
drink the health Of Queen Victoria goes
to the war like a true knight errant,
equipped by the host OF ladies whose cav
aiier he Is.

SCIENCE AND SUPERsTITIoN.-Scie
has again and again proved tha, popular
superstitions were philosophical facts.-
Another instance Of this is recorded with
regard to the weather. 1t is, perhaps,
the most generally credited of popular
beliefs that the weather is influenced by
the moon Scientific men are now COM
ing forward to prove that this is actually
the case, aud they tell US that the nearer
the moon is to the earth. the more dis
turbed the weather will be. Thus, in
December next, the moon will be 1900
miles closer to the earth than she is now.
This, correspondent predicts, will cause
extraordinary high tides and rough wealth
er. In this prophecy he confirms pre-
vious prophecy by Lieut.. Saxby, who has
declared that between December 18th and
10Th. we shall be visited by one of the
severest storms ever known in England.

NAANA78 LINZ UF Adv ANCEs
There is popularity in regard to General
Grants advance toward Richmond which IL
worthy OF notice. When hs crossed the
Rapidan his line Of communication was the
Alexandria Railroad, and h was seventy
miles from Washington overland. When he
swung round upon the Fredericksburg Rail-
road, he shortened his land Communication
to about twenty miles, while 1t the same
time he was advancing toward Richmond.
He has once more swung away from his oAae
and relies upon the York River, having only
that short piece Of land carriage between
White House and hIs present posltion-the
most convenient line OF communication per
haps ho has had since his movement began.
Should 1t suit his purpose to more still fur
ther south and eastward, he may II he wlshss
rely upon the James River instead Of the
York. Thus as be moves further from homo
and nearer to the rebel Capital he does not
stretch his line Of communications, in any
way to weaken his 4orce for its protection
but he rather improves It by advancing.
But II the south line ik the best why not
move BY it in the first place as Mcclellan
did? Why advance by 4 line he does not
care to hold to as he adrAncess Because his
present line Of advance IL per X as easy as
any other, and In many respects better than
any. BE moves where his enemy Is, with
the idea that his work Is not only to reach
Richmond, but to destroy Lees army. And
in the pursuit Of that idea he has reached his
present position. BE has the double work
now Of beating the army and taking the
city,

The Death OF mr.. Gidd1nYs.


We regret to hear Of the sudden death OF
Mr. Joshua Reed Giddinss, the Uuited States
Consul General in Canada, He died In the
billlard-room Of the st. Lawrence Hotel, last
night, at quarter to ten o'clock. He had
played one gaE1e OF billiards, aud was play
ing another, In good spirits, at the moment
be ~as stricken down By disease, ian afEec-
tion Of the nerves, operating on the heart, 1we
believe, Ito which he had long been subject
A bystsn0er reports to Us that In the midst
Of his game he sat down and leaned forward,
apparently in an .insensible state. The bT-
ISLANDERS ra{sed him and carried him to a sofa
at the side Of the room, and thinking that ha
laborel under it Of some kind. they ap.
piled water plentifully TO his faee-ln fact,
doused his face with It. They again raised
him up, and for moment he seemed to rally
and recover consciousness, but soon fell for
ward again insenslble, and expired in about
eight minutes from the time Of his arst at
tack. His medical attendant, DR.. suther-
land, We understand, was inmediately sent
for, but Nj. Giddipgt had ceased to liYe be-
fore he arrived We hear that about q year
ago he was severely attacked with this same
disease, And it is fact that In May, 1855,
he suddenly fell down on the floor In Con.
gress while in the act Of making a speech.
In January, 1858, he fell down In the same
way, and was for some time supposed to be
dead
