FRUrr.-Mr. Bailey, Of the DEBORAH Re,
public, does not think North Iowa will ever
BE- great for apples, nor does he succeed
we'll in grape culture. Our grapes don't
do well either, but it is mostly our own
fault. They should be well covered with
straw, hay or earth in winter. If apple
trees could Be se so rs tha hc'jassah
being impossible, We are not enthusiastic
on the fruit question. The steady cold
weather Of this winter would freeze the
birthstone in Tophet If It was not barrelled
up. Iowa has so many advantages she car
afford to buy fruit of her eastern and south
ern neighbors. We agree with Mr.. Bailey
that the bleak winter winds of our prairies
will be death generally to apple trees and
not very coed for improved grapes. Wild
ones grow here in great luxuriance and
abundance.

The following letter was received in this
town recently. 1t relates, as will be seen
! to the failure o: son of st. Crispin to
complete a pair Of boots In the time agreed
| upon. We substitute mines so as to avoid
offence and at the same time preserve the
burlesque; the writer Of the letter is well
up in the scale Of extravagant writing. To
those who know the parties the letter is
particularly rich. 1t is proper to say that
the writer and boot maker are the best of
friends and that no unkindness was meant
or felt by the author or the subject:
- Jan'y 81, 1866.
DEAR FRIEND:-I received Yesterday a
letter from P. G. Brown, Esq, Boot-maker.
I was delighted, yet rather terrified at its
contents. The knowledge It impaired, that
after three wrecks labor On my boots he had
so far got the powers Of his mind, or rath.
er Of his gigantic intellect brought to a
focus that he had looked at the measure
and the instructions once and wasn't quite
sure he understood them. He displays a
powerful weakness for speed, and if this
quality is equalled by the other essential in
racing sport, pray what chair can hold him?
His letter is before me. It is model Of
conciseness. He says, ION minute exa,
mination &C., &C." Noble! Bully 1! An
examination Of three weeks of constant,
close scrutiny must be minute! Here is
prudence for you. His bump of caution
must be developed hugely-say about the
size Of church, or a small hill.
BRcws, keep on my boy-you'il come
to something yet, If not more. You will
yet sit down on the dim clouds, high above
the pinnacle of fame astraddle of its most
giddy peak and take the measure Of the
feet Of Jupiter! Arl that thou dost shall
be Of LASTING value to thee in the records
of eternity. You will have the key to the
temple Of knowledge and patent drug for
making diamonds. You will be grandfath.

have the luxury of administering to his
adolescent seat Of honor such punishment
as the hero may deserve. You will stride,

We announced, on Saturday morning
last, the appointment of tho Hon.. BEN
JAMIN +. PERRY, of Greenville, S. c.,
by President JoHNsrN, as Provisional
Governor of South Carolina.
In conversing generally, with our ci.
tizens. they all seem to be satisfied with
the appointment. Mr. PERRY is q prac
tical man, and a statesman, and is well
qualified to preside ever onr State in her

Mr.. Perry a distinguished elawyer, a
man offine morals, excellent character
and sound, manly sense, has been
through life consistent Union man.
He perilled much for tho Union in 1892;
and, III addition to the great general
od!nm incurred by the Union party in
that famous struggle, he risked his life
Ill a personal combat, and we believe lost
considerably efa very popular practice.
Since then he has filed seat, almost
unbrokenly, in our Legislature, and in
all the fluctuations ofparties and politics,
has maintained his consistency as sup
porter of the Union, without forfeiting
the confidence even of those citizens who
were hostile to his spolitics He was op.
posed resolutely to the secession of the
State, and regretted the measure to the
last. Nor is there any inconsistency in
his course by acceptance ola judicial Of.
fee under a Government de facto. He
recognized an existing condition of
things to which all his opposition had
been vain, and might well suppose that,
in Q judicial capacity, he conld mitigate
and moderate the strifes of party, and
arrest those prosecutions ofthe unoffend.

No man was louder in his professions of
patriotism than q. VOlney Dorsey. No
man prOfessed a warmer regard for the sol
diers than him, aud yet he misused the sol
diers' funds that passed through his Office,
for his own personal advantage, it is suppo-
sed. He was sleek in his dress and a sir
oracle in his manner And when he arraign-
cd the Democratic party for alleged short
comings in the line of Devotion to their
country the people listened to him as man
who OUGHT to be strictly honest alike in his
managemens of the State Treasury and in
his reservations of patriotism. 1t viii Z,
therefore, surprise them exceedingly when
they learn that he has so conducted the af-
fairs of his office, for his own gain, as to
subject him to a prosecution for having
committed a pcnitentiary offense. Mr..
Dorsey's case is not singular case. Mr..
\. p. Stone, a man who likewise was ex-
cessively loyal, also misused the funds
of tie United States, and because un-
like Mr. Dorsey, he was unfortunate in
his speculatious or operations, he took him
self out of the world. lie was no more
guilty than him. Here are two cases OF
official mslfeasancc that have recently been
forced upon the attention OF the public,
right in our midst. Should not these two
cases alone arouse the people, as with an
arch angel trumpet, to the Importance of
voting the present party out Of power?

there was a very good demand for this par
