CoUNTERFEITERs BROUGHT HERE
Several days ago, Marshal Melendy
went down to the Penitentiary to bring
up a couple of chaps, Reed and Whit
ney, whose names and exploits have
figured largely in tina criminal history
of Iowa. The Marshall succeeded in
fetching them safely to Des Moines !;
but they tried every adroit stratagem
of which they had any knowledge,
to outwit their custodian, and get away
They pcssumed sleep so adroitly as to
deceive almost every one. They tried
to hook knives and forks from the ta-
bles at which they took their rations,
so as to have something wherewith to
Ii them in walking out of their irons.
The Marshal told them at the start
that, if they would act with becoming
docility OH the route, they would be
treated with great tenderness and con-
sideratiOn; but warned them that, If
they should get into any unmisrakable
tantrums he might possibly feel inclin-
ed to demise their peaceful spirits from
the sorrows of earth They are now in
Jail, but it is understood that their trial
will not take place during the present
term. SO the Marshal will soon have
to take them back to Fort Madison

The New York Herald, in an article on
recent convention of iymites at Albany,
says -
All the isms of the age were personated
there. Long haired men, apostles of some
inexplicable emotion of sensation; gaunt
and hungry looking men, disciples Of q
bran bread and white turnip dietetic philos-
ophy; advocates Of liberty and small beer,
professors of free love, in the platonic
sense; agrarians in property and the do
mestic virtues; orators Of the human race
and standard bearers of women's rights.
transcendentalists, infidels, saints, negro
worshippers, sinners, and short haired wo-
men, without waterfalls or hoops, ground
down in the dust by mans inhumanity to
women-all greeted the eye. Long geared
women in homespun, void of any trade
mark, and worn to spite the tariff and i'm
ports; women in bloomer dress, to show
their independence; women who hate their
husbands and fathers, and hateful women
wanting husbands; women who cannot
vote, but who want to be voted for; women
who want womens rights and are deter
mined to have them men and women, al.
together the most long-necked, grim-vis-
aged, dyspeptic, Puritanical, nasal twanged

BoNAPARTE.-M. Theirs, in his history
Of the Consulate, recites some very strange
and previously unknown particulars of
Napoleon Bonaparte. 1t appears that at
ter he had obtained Subaltcrn's commits
sion in the French service, by his skill md
daring at Toulon, he lived some time in
Paris, in obscure lodgings, and in such ex-
treme poverty that he was often without
the means Of paying ten sous for his din
ner, and frequently went without any din
ncr at all. He was under the necessity of
borrowing small sums, and even worn-out
clothes, from his acquaintances! He and
his brother, Louis, afterwards king of Hol'
land, had at one time only coat between
them SO that the brothers could only go
out alternately, time and time about. at
this crisis the chief benefactor Of the fu-
ture emperor and conquercr, "at whose
mighty name the world grew palc," was
the actor Talma, who often gave him food
and money. Napaleon's faco, afterwards
30 famed for its classical mould, was du-
ring that period Of starvation, harsh and
angular in its lineaments, with projecting
cheek bones. His meagre fare brought on
an unpleasant and unsiehtly cutaneous
disease, the type so virulent and malignant,
that it took all the skill and assiduity Of his
accomplished physician, Corvisart, to ex.
/ pel it after . duration Of more than ten
Years. The squalid beggar then, thesplen,
did emperor afterwsrds-the threadbare
lhabiliments andlimperial mantle-the mea'
gre food and the gorgeous banqust-tht
Friendship Of poor actor, the homage and
terror Of the world=an exile and pris
oner. Such arc the ups and downs of thii
changeful life, such are the lights and
shadows Of the great and mighty.

LroHr YoUR CIoAR.-A widow. you6e
and handsome, had lover but although
she had sworn not to marry again, every
day she seemed on the point Of periurinv
herself. She had particular aversion to-
tobacco. One day her lover screwed his
courage up SO far as to ask permission to-
smoke. Thelady was bewihered with aston
isshment, but being told by the gentleman
that there was some affinity between love
ana cigar, she assured him that if he
could prove the fact he might convert her
saloon into tap room. The lover pro-
ceeded to argue that the flame of love
could be lighted in various ways, lust -
there were several modes Of lighting a ci--
gar-by a pipe-light, by the cigar Of an
other person, and by lucifer. In youth
the head was infamed too quickly by love.
Just as some cigars burned out too speedi-
~. There was, perhaps, some danger if
love were extinguished, but If the fire went
out it could easily be relighted. The pure
haine of love, however, ike good cigar,
never was burned out. The lady was con-
vinced by the arguments. The lover was
SO earnest that his cigar was extinguished,
while he talked and discontinued to smoke
it. The widow looked at the fire, sud-
denly recollected that an offer of marriage
had been made to her, and, in a mild
voice, said, "IIenry, light your cigar"

ly to disclose them, and the two Others
laughingly acquiesced. The old woman
replied:
"As you have all four met in the cabin.
so shall you meet in like destiny. As
you have trampled under foot and stained
with blood the bread offered you by hospi-
tality, 80 will you trample under foot and
stain with blood the power you might nat
urally share. As you have devastated and
impoverished this cottage, so will you de-
vastate and lay waste France. As you have
all four been wounded in the darkness 80
you will all four perish by treason and a
violent death.

MorHERs.-Some one has said that a
young mother is the most beautiful thing
in nature. Why qualify Il? Why young ?
Are not all mothers beautiful? The SEN
timental outside beholders may prefer
youth in the picture but am inclined to
think that sons and daughters, who are
the most intimately concerned in the mat
ter, love and admire their mothers most
when they are old. How suggestive Of
something holy and venerable it Is when a
person talks of his ''dear old mother !''-
Away with your mincmg ''mammas," and
"mam-mas," suggestive only of fine la
dy who deputies her duties to nurse, a
drawlns-room maternal parent, who is
afraid to handle her offspring for fear Of
spelling her fine new gown. Give me the
homely mother, the arms of whose love
are all embracing, who is beautiful always,
whether old or young, whether arrayed in
satin, or modestly habited in bombazine.

Mr.. Speaker Colfax said in one of his
late frothy speeches: "Thank God, in this
land the people are the only rulers If
this be so, viii Mr.. Colfax explain how it
is that he and hia party are in power,
when the people Of the United States are
against them by large majority. Are
the people rulers, or is it only a portion Of
them, the balance being excluded from all
participation in tho government?
The government consists of three de-
partments, executive, judicial and legisla-
tive, and the people primarily are suppos-
ed to control oil. The executive depart
ment is against congress, the judicial de-
partment is against it, and the people by =
million majority are against it. How long
will the rump faction be likely to hold out
in butting against all Of these three, COM

ELOPEMENr AND Observation-Disclosures
siderable excitement was caused on the
south side few weeks since by the sud-
den disappearance of q respectable mar
ried lady. No clue to her whereabouts
could be found for some time, and her dis
tracted husband, dreading to believe her
guilty Of infdelity, thought she had been
drowned, and mourned for her as dead
On Saturday last, however, he was re-
joiced on returning at eventide, to find her
domiciled as used to be her wont, in her
own and his home. But she was not the
same woman she was three weeks since
That brief period of time had brought
wrinkles to her face and her every look
betokencd sorrow. Throwing herself up
on her husbands neck she confessed that
she had forsaken him with the intention
of never again returning. Some unkind
word, hastily spoken, had cooled her love
for her husband, and when the tempter
came he found her an easy prey. She re-
solved to elope with young man from
Chicago, whom she had known in former
years, and SO skilfully did she arrange her
plan that her movements were not sus-
pected. Arriving in Chicago she ascer-
tained that the man she had eloped with,
had wife and family Of little onos.-
The knowledge of tho fact caused her to
reflect upon the misery into which her
rash act would throw the happy young
wife and her babes, and upon the instant
she determined to be no party to such q
crime. Her mind made up she acted up
on it, and Immediately set about finding
some oongeniai employment whereby % che
in this, and her money becoming exhaust
ed, she resolved like the prodigsl son o!
old, to return to her former home ant
crave the forgiveness Of him she had *
cruelty wronged. The result was more
joyous than her hopes, for tho husband re-
eeivcd her with open arms. and freely tor
gave her the injury she had done him
