Acknowledgements for the Home.


Messrs. Editors:
Another month having rolled around
the time has come to make further ac,
acknowledgements of donations to the
Home. Our friends have been kind
enough to lay us under obligations to
notice several of them gratefully. The
donations have been as follows:
BY the hand of Mrs. Bowen, forwife of
Baptist minister of Nebraska City, in
cash, $500. HHm
From the ladies of Sumner, Bremen
county, cash, $500
From the ladies of Mount Vernon
township, clothing, valued at Sl1.25.
From the Soldiers Orphans Aid So
ciety of GAINESVILLE, per Mrs. Squire
Rowen, cash, (already acknowledged
editorially) $4l.50.

chase of melodeon, $500. -.
We wish also to acknowledge that Du-
buque, Independence and Manchester
have been sending in from time to time
quantities of much needed clothing, the
exact value of which we are not able to
state. When all the above have done
so well, it is hard to particularize.-
Were we to acknowledge each of the
gifts separately, we would be glad to
add particular concentrations, which,
under the circumstances, seem out of
place. The facts speak sufficiently for
themselves. Well deserved thanks to
each and all.

Mdy.Day.-The first day of May was
horribly cold and lowery. Overcoats
and blanket shawls were quite the go.
We noticed gentlemen, who a time ago
made up their minds that Spring had
come, went trotting about the streets
with blue noses, hands deep down in
breeches' pockets, too spunky to bundle
up. We have not heard that any of our
people went a-Maying; but if any did,
we should like to publish their names

Io,ud Central.-The engineers of the
Iowa Central Railroad, during the past

end of the work south of town through
the west part of the city to the Dubuque

pose of forming connection with a road
in contemplation up the Cedar on the
west side of the river, and also has some
thing to do with the location of the de-
pot grounds. ........

to its proprietors. This enterprise is

Hunt & Rowland are well-known to

so richly deserves.

bered ty the thousands. We appeal to
you young men Of the South, by the graves
OF the dead, BY the poverty and rags and
wretchedness of the living drunkard, to
shun the path Of iniquity, this road to Ger.

and rapid advance of crime, by the hands
of the drunken murderer, recking with his

love of dear sisters, by the devotion Of no..

life, by the glories of the past aud the
hopes OF the future. not TO become the
slaves of an APPETITE that will bind you in

ALWAYS TELL THE TRUrH.-The
ground work of our manly character is
yeracity, or the habit Of truthfulness
That virtue lies at the foundation of every
word said. How common it is to hear pa.
rents say, {" have faith in my child so
long as he speaks the truth. He may lave
many faults, but know he will not de
ceive. l build on that confidence" They
are right. 1t is lawful aud just ground
to build upon. So long as the truth re
mains in the child there is something to
depend upon; but when truth is gone, all
is lost, unless the child is sp, edily won
back to veracity. Children, did you ever
tell lie 7 If so, you are in imminent dan
ger. Return at once, little reader, and
enter tho stronghold of truth, and from it
may you never depart again.

WESTERN EMIGRATIoN.-The tide of
immigration is setting strongly Westward
this spring. The Kansas City (Mo) Jour
nal of Commerce of the Sth instant, says
The immigrant trains, of all sizes and
descriptions, from two to dozen wagons,
loaded with household goods and agricul-
tural implements, many accompanied by
small droves of cows and young cattle, are
pouring through our streets, vending their
way Southwark and Westward to the in
viting lands of Missouri and Kansas. In
the course of half an hour, while coming
from Westport into the city, We counted
twenty two wagons with their freight Of
furniture, farming tools and children. At
this rate the usual length of the migration
season would give 10 Southwestern Mis-
souri, and Southeastern Kansas population
that will spon double the wealth aud pro.
duction Of those sections"

The Late Jared Sparks-the
Historian.

Jared Sparks, the we'll known American
historian, who died at Cambridge, Mass.
on Wednesday, was born at wellington,
Conn, May 10, 1889. Like SO many of
our American public men, he rose from
humble life by dint of his own cxertions.
We give the following sketch of his life
his earliest occupation was upon farm,
and ne also wrought in grist and saw mill
This latter leaving much spare time, he
devoted 1t to books, and thus imbibed
great fondness for learning, which he soon
improved as well as he could in the coun.
try schools Being next apprenticed to
carpenter, he worked at that trade for two
years, during which his taste for learning
became so strongly developed that his mas.
ter cancelled his indeutures, and Sparks
became village schoolmaster at Toiland,
Conn, earning living in summer, when
the school was closed, by odd jobs as
carpenter.
1t is curious instance Of his early strue.
giles that he shingled the barn of the Rev.
Hubbeil Loomis, in consideration of that
gentleman teaching him Mathematics and
Latin. Another clergyman, the Rev. Abiel
Abbott, secured for him a scholarship at
the Phillips Exeter Academy, in New
Hampshire, on a charitable foundation,
which gave him at the same time education
and a home free of cost. So destitute was
the young student, that he had to travel ON
foot to MIR. Abbott, at Coventry, and thence
to Exeter, to begin his studies. He was
subsequently sent to Harvard College,
where he graduated in 1915. During bis
college life he taught for time a small
private school at Havre de Grace, Nd.
and while there served short time in the
militia, called out to repel an anticipated
attack by the British. He afterwards
began the study of theology at Cambridge,
Mass, and for two years, 18l7-'19, was
college tutor in Mathematics and Natural
Philosophy. He also became one of an as
sociation by which the North American
Review, established in 1916, was conduct
ed.
In May, 1919, he was ordained minister
oil Unitarian congregation in Baltimore,
and the next year published Letters on
Ministry Ritual and Doctrine of the Epis-
copal Church, g volumes, Boston.) He
remained In charge Of the Church in Bal
timore four years. In 1923 he published
a life OF John Ledyard, the American trav.
eler, which became quite celebrated in Eu.
rope and America. This was the key note
of his great career. After nine years of
elaborate research and preparation, he pub
lished In successive volumes, from 1885 to
1857, his famous "Llfe and Writings of
Washington" the most thorough and re-
liable work on that theme extant. In 1910
he completed the publication of the works
of Benjamin Franklin.
All Mr.. Sparks historial works are dis.
tinguished by thorough research, candid
judgment, dispassionate criticism and &C.
curacy and simplicity ofstyle. Mr.. Sparks
was Mclean Professor of History at Har.
ward College from 1889 to 1S49, and Pres
ident of the College from lS49 to 1858.
In 1857 he made tour in Europe, and
since his return ho resided in Cambridge,
where he died.

\ VOLCANIC SHOCK IN THE OcEA.

y VOLCANIC SHOCK IN THE OCEAN.
The Captain OF the British ship Orient,
at London, from Australia, reported that
on Friday, November II, at 7:l5 A. NJ,
in lat. 81 degrees II minutes South, and
long. 100 degrees 40 minutes East, with a
moderate wind from North northwest, and a
clear sky, the bells of the ship began to
ring, and the vessel trembled violently, as
if she were passing over rough bottom in
shallow water. In an instant all was con
fusion on board, as the crew and passen-
gers thought she was settling down. The
violent trembling lasted two or three min
utcs with nothing visible. The officers
sounded the pump we'll and found no wa
ter; and sounded over the ships side with
the deep sea lead but found no bottom.
The conclusion arrived at by all on board
was that the ship had experienced the
effects OF sub marine volcano.

Affairs in Alabama are represented bv on,

aHairs IN Alabama are represented by our
exchanges from the interior as in better
condition than almost any of the cotton
States. With few exceptions the people
are well satisfied with the new order of
things, and bend every effort to reclaim,
as may be IN their power, the losses Of the
war. The freedmen realize that work is
necessary for their support; and readily
enter into contracts for the year at from
seven to ten dollars per month. Consid.
ering all circumstar ces, the agricultural
prospects OF the State are excellent. Plan.
ters are entering into cotton raising on a
large scale, the freedmen work with alac
rity, and the most favorable results are
expected. Labor is fully equal to the do
mand. Saw mills and factories are being
restored and built. Strangers are cordially
welcomed, and meet with all the informa-
tion and assistance they desire.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE IN LYNCH
BURG.-The Lynchburg News mentions
the following case of suicide in that city
An aged lady, Mrs Mary Ross, wife of
Moses Ross, living on Toy lor street, near
the corner of Eighth, committed suicide
between eleven and twelve o'clock. on Fri.
day night, by jumping into well, on the
lot of her husband, some sixty or seventy
feet deep. The deceased was about seven.
ty years of age, and for some time had been
IN failing health, which unsettled her
mind, and caused her thus to terminate
her life by her own act For some days
previous to her death her family had en-.
tertained slight suspicion that her mind
was not altogether in as healthy condi.
ton as 1T should be; but no serious conse
quences were apprehendcd. On the night
OF her death she retired as usual but
about eleven o'clock her husband awoke
and found her place vacant He immc-
diately called up the members of his fami.
", and search was instituted, which re.
suited IN finding the mangled body of the
deceased at the bottom of the well. Her
death must have been instaneous.
The deceased is represented to have
been an amiable lady, of exemplary rictv,
and beloved by all who knew her.

CURE FOR SMALL Pox.-We clip the

NINL TUX oMALL 7 UA.-N CLIP INC
following from one of our exchanges:
The mode Of treatment is as follows
When the preceding fever is at its hight,
and just before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartaric
ointment. This causes the whole Of the
eruption to appear on that part Of the body
to the relief of the rest. 1t also secures a
full and complete erutpion, and thus pre-
vents the disease from attacking internal
organs. This is said to be the establish
ed mode of treatment in the English army
in China, by general orders, and it is re-
gardcd as perfect cure.
