FAMILY COURTEsIEs-I tho family
the law of pleasing ought to extend from
tho highest TO the lowest. You arc bsund
to please your children; and your chill
dren are bound to please each other; and
you are bound to please your servants, if
you expect them to please you. Some
men are pleasant in the household aud
nowhere else. have known such men.
They are good fathers aud kind husbands.
If you had seen them in their own house
you would have thought that they were
angels, almost; but if you had seen them
on the street, or in the store, or anywhere
else out of the house, you would have
thought them almost demoniac. But
the opposite is apt to be the case. When
We are among our neighbors, or among
strangers, We hold ourselves with self
respect and endeavor to act with propri.
ETY.; but when we get home We say to our.
selves: Il have played a part long
enough, and am now going to be natural
so We sit down, and We are ugly, aud
suappisb, and blunt, and disagreeable. -
We lay aside those thousand little cour.
tesies that mako tho roughest floor
smooth, that makes the hardest thing
like velvet, and that makes life pleasant.
We expend all our politeuess in places
where it will be pro6table-where it will
bring silver aud gold.

Constitutional Amendment.

IL should not be- forgotten that tho
Legislature which shall convence in Jan
uary next will decide, as far as Iowa is
concerned, for or against the constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting Slavery
within the limits Of tho United States.
The importance Of this question cannot
be over-estimated The Republican State
Convention gave its emphatic sanction
to the Amendment; aud every candidate
for legislative honors who stands on the
platform framed by that Convention will,
il elected, vote for the great anti slavery
measure. 1t is the doctrine Of the Re.
publican party, as we'll as the truth OF
history, that ths Rebellion was the pro.
duct Of American Slavery, and that IT
future Rebelions shall be ayertcd, the
last vestige of Human Chattollsm must
be swept from the country. Republicans
are now and evermore in favor OF the
Amendment. They believed in Presi.
dent LiucoIn's Proclamation of Freedom,
and they now accept the, logical conss
ouences Of this great Charter Of Human
Rights
But how stands this paramount ques'
tion of tho Amendment with the oPpo-
sitiou What is their attitude, and
what do they propose to do! To say the
least, the so called Soldiers Convention
Of the 23d, although its platform tavors
tho Amendment, was engineered by men
who are and have been notoriously oPpo
sed to the enfranchisemens, in any sense
Of the black race. 1t is possible that

'possum ticket, successful at the pous

alt is related that, in l745, the same
mischiet crossed the sea in a parcel of
distempered hides from Zealand, which
were forbidden a sale there, and should
have been buried; but covetous
knave sold them for leather, and the
plague struck our cattle aud spread
from Essex oil over the kingdom. On
that occasion it ragged for twelve whole
years, but not till tho :hird year did the
Government take up tho matter SO seri-
ously as to order that every infected
animal should be Immediately destroyed;
and in this way alone $4,000 head we're
killed and paid for, while at least 1GO,-

many previous visitatious. The same
enemy thinned the pasturages of the
Continent 10 the time of Thcodosius; it
followed Charlemagne back from Den
mark and made havoc among the French
herds, it scourgcd Europe in the years
Sl7 A. D., in 1923 A. D. The worst
instance of all however, occurred from
17l0 to l7l7. On that occasion, the
steppemurrain passed by Tartary, Rus
sia and Poland, all over the West, aud
in the first three years, 100000 oxen
persisted. We have spoken Of it in l745;
in ITO Holland lost in one year 375, AL
of their horned cattle; and in 1894, it
followed Napoleon into Italy, and Pied
mont alone paid for his march with g.
100000 head. Faust, in the Fsuche de
Cuhivateur, estimate the loss to France
and Belgium, between l7l3 and 1876, at
the enormous total of l0,O0O,OOO ami
mails. 10 1906 when the Cossacks of tho
Don mustered on tho Nistula, their bu!-
locks brought the pestilence again; and
the Schwartzeuberg's invasion Of France,
at the head of the allied forces in 1913,
imported il. Wherever indeed, war has
broken down the barriers of sanitary
measures, the plague, is existing 10 the
East, has forced its way; and, in the
Crimean campaign, it thus penetrated
the catte.pens Of the French and Eng.

Capt. Ault Gets More than he Wants!

q speech at Wanda ia Jasper County, on
Friday last. In the course of that same

that whom the latter was a prisoner in
Rebel han ds, he Gov. S. expressed a
willingness to take an oath Of neutrality
if he could thereby obtain his release. ~-
Capt. Ault said he could prove this
assertion by several witnesses, and par
ticularly by Capt. Shannon. At this
point in the speech, man uDrecognized
by the speaker arose, in the audience,
and the following colIoquy ensued:
MAN.-"Capt Ault. | was in captivity
with Gov Stone in the South, aud who
ever says he offered to take the neutrality
oath in order to be set at liberty, is a
ID liar!'
CAPT. AuLT:-"Are you an officer
sir?"
MAN.-.Yes sir"
CAPT. AULr.-"What is your name,
sir7"
MAN.-"My name is Shannon-Cap.
tain Shannon-the same man you pro-
posed to call as witnteso'
For the space Of five minutes, there
was roar Of applause from the audience
which would have drowned the voice of
Niagara. The cowardly, lying Ault was
fairly petrified with shame and public
ridicule, and all subsequent remarks from
bis lips fell upon unlistening ears. This
is only the beginning Of grief which is
in store for this hireline of the Copper
heads of Iowa State Register.

General Assembly with their presence,
they will yield a greater amount of def.
erence TO the proslavery sentiments and

tuents than to the specious resolution in
their platform which commits them, on
the surface, to vote for an anti slavery
measure.
The only safety, therefore, is in the
support Of Republican candidates. Tho

as it was lost in Delaware, New Jersey,
and Kentucky, unless a majority of Re-
publicans shall be sent to the Legislature.

Josh Billings Discourses Concerning Mer

A big genius is generly a phool; he

so much, he amt fit for nothin else, he IL

that yui can Sh esgle, he Knows how to

he gifts up on the peak Of tho mountain
aud gifts we'll lit, you kant git 10 him, nor
no wont cum to yu, but thare be sets
till the dinner bell rings. After dinner
he aize oph again, and you won't see
him agin till supper time. They are like
mummys, very curis critters, and keep
long time without spiling. Ifthey only
had common sense so that you kuld
make taylers or shumakers ov them,
would be some sense in having the breed
more plenty, but one or tn il aul that iz
profitable to hav on hand tew onst, and
tha are enuf to keep emmy body uneasy
about what tha are going tew do next.

times, and when the world ketches up
with tho last one another IL born, who
spends most of his time digging up the
bones that the last one buried. About
the only thing they show any common
sense in IL, that they die in debt to ev-
erybody The moste unfortunate thing
about having big genius on hand, il
that SO many try to initiate them, but
they don't generally get any farther up
than their vices, and thus one big genius
suckels thousand phools. They don t
geuerly liv happy, bekause they amt
bilt light to fit things as they fnd them.
Tha ought to have crate place to stop

gentilities to dew, aud where they kan

bareheaded into the street. They kan
plant but they WON'T kultivate nor reap.
If was a woman I would as leave
marry porcupine as big genius; they
are either as hot as stove in distric
skool house, or as kold aud unfecliug az

A genius is like big comet, they appear
oust about SO often, and makes every one
nervous, and then disappear, aud tho
we may not be able to put our fugers on
tho individual good they have done US,
still their visits is big one, and the

conspiracy which has heretofore escaped

After his part in the assassination plot
became known, she stiffled all the nat
