LIGHT FROM THE EAsT.-Austria and Hun
gary, II years ago, were the arena of q bloody
civil feud, which was settled by the Intervention
ofRussa on the side ofAustria. Tie Hungarans
were crushed; some of their leaders hanged,
others exiled, and Austrian despotism estab-
lished by the might of the Muscovite sword
Yet the Emperor has found the passive resist
ance Of Hungary to her complete absorption
into Austria nvincible. He could not over
come it: he could not make his Parliament
work in spite of it; for since Hungary refused
to send deputies, it was plain to all that though
there were German and Scavic elements, there
was no Parliament of the whole Empire. AZ
ter exhausting every device to escape doing so,
Franz Joseph virtually gives it up, and agrees
to deal with Hungary on the basis of her his
toric constitution which was arbitrarily abol
ished In t849. sl" ,----5s-.- -..-lo q

A Prayer for Landlords.

The following prayer, says the Charleston
Times, was formerly used in the Primer, or
Book of Private Devotions in the Re.orm
Church, until the accession Of Queen Mary of
England. We reproduce 1t now, in the hope
that it may be adopted once more in our
churches of all denominations, at least, until
the FIRST of May: f-s ..,;- g.. ala s1.7,
Tho earth is Thine, Lord, and all that
Is contained therein; notwithstanding Thou
hast given possession thereof to the children
of men to pass over the time Of their short
pilgrimage in this vale ct tears. We heartily
pray Thee to send the Holy Spirit ia to the
hearts Of those that possess the grounds, pas
lures and dwellins-places on the earth, that
they, remembering themselves to be Thy ten-
ants, may not rack and stretch out the rents
of their houses and lands, nor yet take un-
reasonable fines and incomes after the manner
of.covetous worldngs; but 80 let them out to
others that the Inhabitants thereof may be
able to pay the rents, and also honestly live to
nourish their family, and to relieve the poor.
Give them grace to consider that they are but
strangers and pilgrims in this world, having
here no dwelling-place, but seeing one to
come; that they, remembering the short con-
tinuance of life, may be content with that
which is sufficient, and not join house to
house, nor couple land to land, to the impov-
ershment of others, but so behave themselves
in letting out their tenements, lands and pas
lures, that after this life they may be received
into everlasting dwelling places, through Jesus
Christ our Lord" .-e .a.s

From Washlngton.

A cabinet crisis has Mt length arrived,
and the separation of President John

becoming complete. Last week Post
Master General Dennison resigned, and
the President, on Saturday, sent tho
name of A. w. Randall, of Wisconsin,
to the Senate, for confirmation as Post
Master General.
Hon. James Speed, of Kentucky, At
torney General in President Johnson's
Cabinet, has resigned. Hon. Henry
stanberry, of Kentucky, will probably
be appointed in his place. Hon. Free
man Clarke, of New York, Comptroller
of the Currency in the Treasury De.
partment, has also resigned. Hon.
James Harlan, of Iowa, Secretary oil
the Interior, is expected to resign in q
few days, and Hon. o. H. Browning,
of Illinois, will be appointed in his
place.
The President has sent in a message
vetoing the Freedmen's Bureau Bill
Both houses have promptly passed the
bill over the veto by more than the re-
quisite two-thirds majority.
Secretary Seward has written letter
in reference to the coming National
Union Convention" He Endorses the
Convention as popular movement

admit the Southern loyalists to repre-.
sentation, and thus complete the work
of national reconstruction.

Foreign News.

News to the 4th inst. The Queen
had approved the new English Minis
try, with Lord Derby as Premier. The
Prussians had been victorious in Bohe-
mia. Gitschen had been taken by
storm. The total Austrian losses, to
the present time foot up nearly 10000.
A junction had been formed between
the two wings of the Prussian army
After the battle of Gitschen the Austri-
an army fell back to Konigsgratz. So
far the Prussians have not lost single
gun, while "a guns and flags have
been captured from the Austrian army.
Several skirmishes had occurred be-
tween the Austrian and Italian troops
on the line of the Mincio.
Three days later. A great battle took
place on the Sd near Sudown between
the Austrians and Prussians, in which
the former were badly defeated. The
Prussians took 1900 prisoners. The
Emperor of Austria, tired Of war, had
agreed to cede Venetia to the Emperor
Napoleon and accept his mediation
Napoleon Immediately communicated
order to obtain an armistice. No an
swer had been received at latest dates
but it was believed in London that the
war was virtually 1t an end.
One day later. Prussia and Italy
have refused to accept the proposition
for an armistice. United States 5-2O's
continue to advance.
One day later still. It is now ascer-
tanned that Prussia and Italy haze ac-
copied the proposed armistice. The
Emperor remarked, "This is a good
day for France" Venetia has been
ceded to France by Austria, and it IL
believed that Napoleon will exchange
it with Victor Emanuel for Sardinia.

of that journal has been taken IN will
the false report that Hon. A. W. Hub
bard declines a denomination. This-ii
said to come from letter in the hand.
Of Hon. P. Melendy. Now we have /,
direct from the soul co Of authority, thai
the above report is entirely incorrect
Mr.. Hubbard has indeed been all along
disposed to retire, SO far as his personal
ambition and interest was concerned
but he still stands as ever at tire dispos.
al of his friends and the Republicans of
this District. for the interests of the
cause. And, at this critical juncture OF
political affairs, it is the opinion Of all
our best leaders, out of the State as well
rs in, that Judge Hubbard ought to be
returned to Congress.
We have just received word from SEN
ator Grimes, and other prominent men
at the seat of Government, urging the
denomination of our present member !;
and Hon. r. Melendy, himself just
from Washington and the East, in
forms us that this is the universal sem
timent there In this connection, it
may be we'll to- give the following ex-
tract from letter which lies before us,
lately received from Jacob Rich, Clerk
of the Naval Committee from Indepen-
dence:
Washington, June %, 1885,
t. What are Hubbard's chances
of denomination? We hope that he
will be returned. He is good men,
Der, and has now got the hang OF every
thing, so that he knows just how to be
useful. He is radical and reliable, and
is Il respected member. 1t is all wrong
to think of changing our Representa-
tiyas so often. Iowa now stands very
well in Congress, and by keeping her
true men in place, would soon BIC pow
erful. BY changing Representatives
we lose all the advantages of experience
and of place. The power which state
wields here is commensurate with the
prominence given to the delegation on
By constant change we
lose oil this prominence of place in this
respect, and, Of course, lose correspond
ing influence. Our delegation is recog-
nized on all hands as true and able, and
If we could keep it here it would be q
wise thing for the State, and wise for
the country. Don't let us have any fur
ther changes. Have Hubbard returned,
If possible.
Yours, RICH.
P. s. BY letter from Mr.. Melendy,
who is now on trip West, we learn
that an article in this weeks Hardin
Sentinel was written under misappre-
hension, which will be corrected next
week. Those papers which have SEEM
ed to withdraw from the support of
Judge Hubbard have done so on ac-
count Of mistake in the interpreta-
ton Of Mr.. Melendy's communication
from the Judge. That mistake ia now
being corrected, and the editors them
selves are conceding that they were
misled. Hubbard stock is still in the

i HE SEDAR Il AIl1S ORPHANS' HOME.
"A communication from Mrs. l.. A.
Thomas who has recently returned
from a brief visit to the Soldiers Or
phsns' Home at Cedar Falls, informs
lis that the Home is in q flourishing
condition. 1t now contains one hum
dred and seventy-three children, the
most of whom are strong, healthy, and
contented. The measles and whOoping
cough, which We're brought into the
Home by some children from the south
ern portion of the State, have gone
pretty generally through the institu-
ton, proving fatal to several of the chill
dren. The school is prosperous and
successful, and the children are improv-
ing rapidly in their studies. During
the spring, contributions in materials
and money have poured in quite liber-
orally from all parts of the State, and
especially from the citizens of Dubuque.
Under the provisions of law of the
last General Assembly, the Home "
has now become State institution
The amount, however, allowed for each
child is not sufficient for its support
hence the benevolent must not remit
their exertions in behalf of the State.
1t is to be hoped that the deficiencies
of the present law will be remedied at
at the next session of the General

In local journalism and business, we
shall know no sect or party, but shall
try to treat every citizen with even
handed fairness, as the common organ
of every class and interest. If haply
we should cause offence to any one, let
him come to us frankly with the mat
ter, and he will ever find us ready to
make honorable amends. There is not
n person in this whole community, to
whom we are or can ever be an enemy.
Fer our principle is to love, and to for
give, and to do good. No man can
make us hate him he need never try.
We have, like all men, our peculiari-
ties and our foibles; ct first we may in
some cases fail to understand each other,
and sympathy may seem to be wanting,
or blame may be INDUCED. But these
are trifles Of new acquaintanceship
which will soon pass away. We shall

true. Little roughnesses or negligence
IS of manner do not long separate low

work together in hearty cooperation
for the the public good. The best inter

we labor for the welfare of Iowa and of
our whole happy land!
For few weeks we must ask of our
patrons special indulgence. Being
necessitatcd to take the paper before
having removed our family or finished
our business elsewhere, the time we de-
vote to it must be limited and distracted
for few numbers, while we provide
home among you, and mean
while secure better acquaintance with
you and with your wants. Then we
shall buckle on the harness for more !
decisive campaign. Friends, give US
your help and your kind cooperation,
