THE CosT OF TRAVELLING IN EUROPE.
One Of the reasons why there Is now
so great a rush of American travellers to
Europe, is, no doubt, the cheapness Of
travelling abroad. A correspondent who
has recently made y tour through Hun
gary, Germany, Italy, switzerland and
France, writes that his expenses aver
aged but five dollars day In gold. He
pays also for several fair clothing pur-
chases. My journey lasted seven and
half months" He says he lived we'll

AN ITEM FOR THE HOME CIRCLE
Somebody fays, and truely too, that
there are few families anywhere i'm
which love is not abused as furnishing
the license for impoliteness. A hus-
band, father or brother will speak harsh
words to those he loves best, simply be-
cause the secrecy of love and family
pride keep him from getting his head
broken. It is n shame that man will
speak more impolitely at times to his
wife or sister than he would to any 9TH
er female, excert low, vicious one
It is thus that the honest affections of q
mans nature prove to be a weaker pro-
lection to o woman in family circle
than the restraints of society, and that
a woman is usually indebted for the
kindest politeness Of life to those not
belonging to her own household. These
things ought not to be 80. The man
who. because it will not be resented,
inf1icts his spleen and bad temper upon
those Of his hearth-stone, is small
coward and very mean man. Kind
words are calculating mediums between
true gentlemen and ladies at home, and
no polish exhibited In society can atone
for the harsh and disfespectful treat
ment too often INDUCED in between
those bound together by Gods own ties
OF blood, and the most sacred bonds of
c0njugal love.

ELECTIoNEERING TACTICS. dis
tinguishcd, candidate who ais up to n
thing or two,' and had keen appreci-
alton of beauty, when about to set off
on an electioneering tour recently, said
to bis wife, who was to accompany him
for prudential reasons:
My dear, inasmuch as the election
Is complicated, and the canvass will be
close, l am anxious to leave nothing
undone that would promote my popu-
larity, and SO have thought it would
be u good plan for me to kiss q number
of the handsomest girls in every place
where l may be honored with public
reception. Don't you think that would
be a capital idea, ell 2" ... ..., .-
Capital" exclaimed the devoted
wife; "and to make your election sure
thing, while you are kissing the hand
soonest girls, l will kiss an equal num-
ber of the handsomest young men,"
The distinguished candidate, we be-
lieve, has not since referred to this
pleasing means Of popularity.

The Alamakce Diniculty.

In previous numbers Of this paper
we have referred to the serious county
seat difficulties which occurred near
Lansing Alamakee county, short
time since. Though actual hostilities
are not in progress now, the feeling Is
yet intense ON both sides. The Wau-
kon people feeling and believing that
to them the county seat belongs, and
the Lansing folks ditto. We are not
conversant with the facts in the case,
but 1t seems to us that If Lansing is as
smart town As is reported to us the
citizens Of that place would have been
above fighting for so small a matter as a
county seat. Ifa town has nothing to
depend on but County Seat capital, 1t
must be very poor place indeed. But
we know that Lansing is n good busi-
ness point, and we are surprised at her
citizens taking so violent measures to
retain a few county offices. Clayton

AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS OF A CORPSE.
"A man named James Haywood died
in New York on Friday, of cholera, and
an undertaken was called In to lay out
the corpse. In short time DIR. Water
man, of tho Board Of Health, was sum
moned, and told that the man was not
dead, the hands, arms and eyelids hav-
ing moved several times. The under.
taker was frightened and fled from the
house, saying the man was alive, and
that he would not touch him again.
DIR. Waterman found that the move-
ments had been caused by the relax
ing of the muscles of the body. The
man died of spasms, and the muscles
were tightly contracted. After dsatl,
they became relaxed, causing motions
which those present mistook for evi-
dences Of life. The medical books re-
cord numerous cases of this kind.

THE Toledo Transcript relates that
three months ago "couplc of young
bloods" from Illinois reached Tamn
county in search Of employment on n
farm they found it, but at locations
which placed them ten miles apart,
whereas they desired to be near each
other. Each worked faithfully, how
ever, in their respective situations, un.
til, a few days ago, a man who had for
nearly three months worked with and
slept with one one of these Illinois or.
rivals, discovered "Chnrley" to be a
woman! On being charged with the
fact Miss Charley owned up and nd
mitted that her ten miles distant COM
pany was her clover" and that to OBJ
tain renumerative employment and
prepare for tho "union of hearts and
hands" forbidden by her parents, the
two had run away, and by virtuous toll
and self-denial were determined to sue
coed in their plans, "Charley" refused
to return to female attire, but left for
some other unknown locality where
her labor and love may yet earn reward!

THE Dubuque Herald tells q queer
story of divorce. a man of Benton
county was smitten of a widder,"
whereat his wife was jealous and indig-
nant rs became her. They finally
agreed to unite in a petition for divorce
and went to Anamosa, where Judge
Hubbard was holding court for hear
ing. They arrived late but could not
delay severing the hated bond. Judge
Hubbard, in his kindness Of heart,
gave them a sitting, heard the case and
granted decree severing the matrimo-
nial moose.
The man, in anticipation Of such re-
suit, had his widder" +" at hand, ready
for the emergency. She, however, not
knowing when arrangements would be
consummated, like sensible woman,
had gone to bed and to sleep. He, how.
ever, could not lot her rest but reused
her from the arms of Morpheus, took
her to his own, led her, blushing, no
doubt, to the presence Of Judge Hub
bard, who made them one flesh, thus
snarling up again the man he had just
liberated. Whether the divorced wife
had any arrangements of the sort doth
not as yet appear.
