DON JUAN.-All the admirers of the
great poet, LORD BYRON, will readily re-
call the caption to this paragraph. just
now our town is favored with BYRON VAN
DYKE, young Milwaukee painter Of fine
taste. Byron proposes to get up large
canvass, in oil colors, representing the
business houses of McGregor; the canvass
will be a standing advertisement for those
who avail themselves of this opportunity
to publish their trade to the world. This
artist is no common performer. He was
once "devil'' in the TINES Office good
boy-a steady young mana painter as well
as printer and those who see his work will
agree with us that his qualifications exceed
his prctensions. Give him liberal pat
ronage and you will make money by it.

Hon. Rev. James Harlan.
We omitted to call on Mr.. Harlan while
at the Evans House, not out of disrespect
for him but because we forgot tho courte-
sy. We met tho gentleman in '5S at
Washington and was pleased with his affa-
bility. Mr.. II. in our opinion, is a nice
man and we suppose he made good, rad
ical, ncgro-or-nothing speech on Monday
evening, in the lecture room of the Bap-
fist Church in this city. We scarcely ever
attend lectures or political meetings, no
matter by whom delivered or conducted
Our business requires an immense amount
of reading and writing and it is relief to
us to get away from all public discussions.
We had the pleasure of meeting Gen. Van
dever at the Flanders House, an able de-
batter and an estimable gentleman, but not
to our taste politically. We suppose Har-
Ian and Van both made excellent speeches
for those who liked the doctrine of Revenge,
which among modern christians has taken
the place of Faith, Hope and Charity-"of
these the greatest is Charity" A friend
who was present addresses the TINES as
follows:
EDS. TINES will you inform me at
what time Julius Caeser was crorned En-
peror of Rome7 Mr.. Harlan says he was !:
but l have not had the good fortune to see
the historical work in which it is recorded.
Please inform me where l can find it so
that may be posted up to Radical ideas.
Yours, "RENUs."
We suspect MIR. Harlan got his inform
alton out of the Tribune Almanac. Meth
er Gibbon nor Rollin say anything about
it. julius was rendered the crown three
times but in each case he declined it. Mr..
Harlan has forgotten his boyhood reading
in his anxiety for the colored brother.

CArrLE.-THoMAs, of the firm of Will
LIAMs Bros, reports to us the purchase Of
So head of Beef Cattle, IS Sheep, and a
number of Hogs. These purchases were

John L. Clark last week announced him
self through this paper, as an independent
candidate for the Office of District Attorney
Mr. Clark is we'll known all over the Dis
trict as an able and experienced lawyer
and has been successful in all matters en-
trusted to his care. In integrity and abil.
ity he is far the superior Of Mr.. Hatch,
and bears a clearer record in both private
and public life. He has never been known
to betray the confidence and trust placed
in him by his fellow-men and clients. We
believe that Mr.. Clark will be elected by a
large majority, for he is by far the most
popular man of the two and in every way
the most worthy. Elect Mr.. Clark and we
have good and true man for District At
torney.-Lansing (Rcp) Mirror.

Allison hoped that in the nomination of
Mr. Noble there would be division of the
democratic party. He has been disap-
pointed. Democrats and conservative re-
publicans unite heartily upon the one
great issue before the people and on plat
form common to both, support of the Pres
ident's restoration policy. 1t is in this
union that VIM. B. Allison and all other
rumps may read their defeat.

The radicals are offering to bet large
sums on Allison's reelection. They have
money, for they have not been idle iobbers
these past five years, but we have votes as
they will see when the returns of the Octo-
Der election come in. Betting into Office
will then be found to be much more un-
certain method than voting in.

Two years ago Allison raised "billows''
in his stumping tour. Allison now finds
himself at dead calm, while his opponent
with the tide Of popular favor is rushing
on to success. The Allison craft is water
logged and worm eaten, rotten with it's
freight Of corruption and beyond the re-
demption of any quarantine. The wheezy
stern-wheeler cannot even get it out of the
breakers.

Hon. +. f. Bissell addressed the radicals
at the Athenaum last evening. But little
enthusiasm was manifested, and it seemed
as though wet blanket was thrown over
both the speaker and the audience. The
speech was merely reproduction of the
slang which has been teeming fol. months
past in the columns of the radicalnewspa-
pers, and was lamentably deficient in ar
gument. Even F. Z. Bissell, Esq, with
all his claims to ability will ascertain that
it is a hopeless task to bolster up the rump
Congress, and We would advise him to re-
tire to some back-woods settlement, and
not attempt to breach his fanatical ideas
in an intelligent community. The speak
ing closed at an early hour, and tho thin
audience separated for their homes, hppa-
rently Disguised that the principles and
burning ideas of the morality psyty were
not better appreciated Dubuque Herald.

The total receipts of the state fair at
Burlington this year were S4,475. The
total expenses including premiums were
S6,S64, so the society found balance
against it at the close of $3.50. This i'll

still our state fairs in Iowa have never been

and never will until we have central points
easy to reach from oil quarters.-Herald.
