German Estimate or America.

a Berlin correspondent of the Boston
Transcript writes: at does an Ameri-
can good to hear men talk about our
country now. When / was here four
years ago, the ignorance about the Uni
ted States was scarcely more ama4ing
than the superilious contempt with
which this vain nation looked down up
on us. We were nothing but q race of
braggarts; we had no science, no art,
no scholarship, no power, no well-di-
rccted energy; nothing but a chaotic
mad passion for wealth, and soil
agement, Touid make us rich. But
now how changed! Now 1t is pleasant
to fold ones arms and hear these people
speak of America and the great scale on
which everything is dcnc there. The
Germans do not pesi, us behind the
English to-day. 1t has been one Of the
good things Of the war that ib has not
only revealed us to ourselves. but to the
world. One can now 80 over Europe
and say am an American, with more
pride than q Roman could ever boast OF
his citizenship. We always had faith II,
America, and now Europe has begun to
do SO too. They think that we are q
strange nation, and that we have our
own ways of doing things; they would
not wonder at anything which might
be done By Americans singly or cciiect-
lively, Us indiyiSeals or rs Republic
but they think that we understand our
selves and can go through without fear
or favor. Therefore, man can lift IN
his head In Europe now aud thank God
that he il an American.

ELpoEA, Iowa, Dec. 30th. 1895.
Knowing that your popular daily,
tri-weekly and weekly have many
friends and subscribers in this vicinity,
/ thought perhaps few lines in regard
TO our village and county would be IA
vorably received. ..
EldOra is the county-seat of Hardin
county, thriving little village, situat-
ed three. fourths of a mile west Of the
iowa river, OH high, beautiful, healthy
prairie. Aside from its being the shire
town of the county, its chief importance
is derived from the fact that the well
known coal fields Of Hardin county lie
contiguous to 1t. L believe these are the
only coal lands that have been worked
to any extent in the Iowa Valley. At
all events, our coal is being hauled by
wagons to Marshalltown, Nevada, Wa
Grundy Center, and all intermediate
points, the distance to some of the above
named places being forty or fifty miles.
These mines have not been worked or
developed as yet to the extent that their
importance demands, but arrangements
are now being made by which capital
and organization will soon take the
place of labor without capital. An ex-
tensive coal company has been formed,
which has :.already bought up a large
tract of these lands, and is preparing to
introduce proper machinery for work
ipg tlsesa on an extensive scale, intend
ing at the same time to use their lands
for the purpose Of securing Ito the best
advantage) the construction of a rail-
road through the Iowa Valley, connect
ing the east and west lines OF roads. In
quality, our coal will compare favorably
with any western coal, having been test
cd at the DubwQIe Gas Works. 1t prov
ed itself superior TO any other, either in
Illinois or Iowa, for gas purposes, and
enough has been developed to prove
that the mines contain an almost mex
supply. W. as.

Death on QhItuArY Notices.

An evening or two since, close tow
ards midnight, while sitting alone in
our sanctum, the door opened, and q
gentleman, evidently of the Hibernian
persuasion, but with an air of sadness
unusual to one of that happy race, en-
tered the room. We asked ii we could
do any thing for him, aud we're asked in
turn ii we could insert an obituary no
tice ut this late hour. We were willing
to accommodate, and requested particu-
lars. I.......
"Well," said he, "I have lived in the
nibcrhood Of Dubuque now these siven-
teen years; iver sinse was u young
man like yersiif; and twilve years agone
got married, u nay wife; and to-day
she died. You sec, inside Of thin twiIve
years she had had eight children, and
died in giving birth TO the ninth and
during all those seventeen years have
always voted the straight dimmercratic
ticket; now you just put that in your
paper in the morning, and what there
Is 10 be paid for it Iii pay till ye now. y
We conjectured the man was in the
wrong pew, aud to verify the fact in
quired If the obituary was to appear in
both pdpcrs'
No, he said, he had always taken the
Herald and the Herald was all that he
wanted the notice to appear In.
Then we told him that the Herald
was a few blocks further up street. Sur
prise kept him silent for nonseat
then he apologized, and went his Way
in search of the Hcraid Office.
Oh, 1t Is sad hour to any man, how
ever lofty or lowiy, when the wife he
has loved lies veiceless and cold and
yet amusement wculd steal in upon our
sadder thoughts, as we associated the
idea of a mans voting the Democratic
ticket for seventeen years, with an obit-
uary notice of his wife.

Swinging the bell in the tower tall,
striking his funeral chime,
The sentry stands, and the shadows fall
In the Citadel OF Time.
Within we sing, by the red Wine cheered,
But the sentry, old and grim,
Out in the snow-rack seemeth weird,
And the frost-fake lieth in his beard,
And his eye Is growing dim.
He stops at the window pane to gaze
And he longeth to come in,
To sit by the fule-log all ablaze.
And tell the taie OF his battle days,
And the wonders he hath seen.
And we toss him health as he passeth by
"a bumper to the, Old Year,
1t maketh us grieve to say goodbye
And sorrow to see thee droop and die,
But We cannot spare tear.
For the lives that are most quickly told
Need all the tears that fall,
And friendship fades as friend grows old,
And n lovers love is hot and cold,
And year outliveth ALL
Then the Yule-log f,ickers faint and low,
And We think OF those that died,
And clasped our hands. and loved us SO,
At the holy Christmas-tide.
Their spectres rise through mist Of tears,
And sit by the hearth again,
And the aisle of the yaultcd hall appears
To throng with the lives of parted years,
And bodies of buried men.
And still the sentinel kcepeth ward,
But his round is nearly done,
1t Is the hour to change the guard,
The Yule-log lieth cold and charrcd,
And the New Year Is begun.
And so in the dawn of the p,orpias &vay
With Christmas carol and chime,
The old year peacefully past away,
And another sentinel stands to-day
On the Citadel of Time.

About Marrying.

Statesmen, political econ0mists and
divines reckon marriage an important
institution. High and ancient author
ity prOnounces il honorable. Families
are nurseries of the church and state.
Men and women are raised in them
Married life il n joy and discipline.-
1t is replete with stimulants to good ac-
ton, and with motives of selt-gOvern-
ment. 1t is not good for man to be
alone, or woman either. Single bless
edness is myth. We have some fears
that marriage will go out of fashion
through the expulsive power Of some
new fashions springing up. We don't
object TO the fashion of fashions, so
to spsak, hut to the costliness of them.
Expansive crinoline involves expansive
prices. A bonnet at thirty dollars, aud
Il very inconsiderable thing at that, can
not be attractive to n prudent young
man. And so, on the other hand, Fec.
horse and q box of cigars are not the
things to begin life with. Expensive
habits in the young of either sex are
not auspicious of good marriage pros
poets. Without being mercenary, the
young men may be prudent, and finan-
cial calculations suggested by early love-
thoughts are not favorable to their early
maturing. Too much costlincss in the
adornment of the person operates like
too much splendor In church edifices.

Reading Aloud.

Reading aloud is one of those exercis-
es which combine mental and muscular
effort, hence has a double advantage.
To read aloud well, Il person should not
only understand the subject, but sho'd
hear his own voice, and feel within him
that every syllable is distinctly enunci-
ated, while there Is an instinct presid-
ing which modulates the voice To the
number and distances of the hearers
Every public speaker ought to be able
to tell whether he il distinctly heard by
the furthercst listener In the room; il
he is not able to do so, il is from want
of proper Judgment and observation.
Reading aloud helps to develop the
lungs just as singing does, il properly
performed. The effect is to induce the
drawing of long breath once in while,
Oftener and deeper than of reading with
out cnunciating. These deep inhala-
tons never fail to dcvelope the capacity
of the lungs il direct proportion to their
practice. .........
Common consumption begins uni.
formly with imperfect, insufficient
breathing; it is Characteristic Of the
disease that the breath becomes shorter
through many weary months, down to
the close of life, and whatever promotes
deeper inspirations Is curative to that
stances. Let any person make the cX-
pertinent by reading this page aloud,

stinct Of q long breath will show itself.
This reading aloud developes q weak
voice and makes it sonorious. Ii has a
great efficiency also in making the
tones clear and distinct, freeing them
from that annoying hoarseness which
the upaccustomed reader exhibits before
he has gone over half page, when he
has to stop KYid clear away, to the con.
fusion Of himself as much as that Of his
subject.
| This loud reading, when properly
done, has n great agency in including

thus, there is safety and efficiency as 3

A Leading Merchant OF McGregOr Shoots
Himself.

Col. Richardson, of the North Iowa
Times, communicates the following sad
infOrlaation to the Chicago xSaraal,
under date Of Januaryi2d: ..
This morning l.. Sutherland, one of
our leading merchants, and q man of
the steadiest habits, did not come as
early to his store as usual. His bed
room was approached at 10 O'Clock in
the morning and no sound was heard
inside. The door was locked. The
window was Immediately forced, and
there, on the floor, the wretched man
was found weltering in blood, and al
most dead. Alarm was given--physi-
clans came-but it was too late. Death
soon took possession Of the unhappy
man. A revolver was i'm his right hand
and on examination it was found that
he had placed the pistol In his mouth
and fired upward; the bail did not pass
through his head. The scene was terri
BILE.
The deceased was supposed to be in
good circumstances-a bachelor of thir-
ty-five-a most quiet unobtrusive man.
For some years he had been a resident
of McGregor. He formerly lived in
Racine and Davenport. He has q brstis-
er living in Chicago, who Is In the lum-
ber trade.
Last summer the deceased was out of
health, and respondent. In the early
autumn he visited New York for winter
goods. Came home much improved
and cheerful-received his stock and
appeared to be himself again; but 1t
WIS remarked by acquaintances that
his eyes had the wild stare of semi-in-
sanity, and whispers passed among them
that he was "going crazy" He seemed
to fear sn attachment on his goods, for
debt, whefe&s his debts at present arc
but 81 zoo, while his stock on hand is
worth 5000, and the money under his
pillow, including q fine watch, was
equal to 500. A friend. q day or two
ago, offered to loan him money enough
to allay all fear of business embarrass-
ment. No one knows what may have
been the real cause Of this hurry to
the last account - and we throw the
mantle of charity over the dreadful act,
while ignorant OF the motives that
it.
