THE Muscatine Journal, whose editor
is Mr.. L. d. Ingersoll, recently from
Washington, where he has resided a
number of years past, speaks US follows
Of our able Representative in Congress ::
"Judge Hubbard, Of the Sixth District, is " ell
skilled In Legislative tactics generally, aud Is
specially au fat in all those matters coming
under the general management of the Depart
ment of the Interior. He is also very CONVEX
SAINT with foreign affairs. He is an energetic,
fiery speaker, and as sound as man can be on
the great questions of the day. The Sixth Dis
trict Is most justly decidedly partial to Its Rep
rcScntGtive."

THE Sigourney NeCs complains that we pub
lish more in regard to the Iowa Central Rail-
road, than we do concerning the st. Louis i
Cedar Rapids Railroad. We certainly have no
other, 1t is because more happened to come
under our OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Hank. Eye
The st. Louis & Cedar Rapids Com
pany not yet having determined upon
a route for their road, it is not to be ex-
pected that it will be rs prominently
before the public as the Iowa Central,
the line of which is fully determined
upon, the survey well advanced, large
proportion of the stock necessary for the
construction of the road subscribed, fif-
ty or sixty miles of the grading and
bridging under contract, and twenty or
thirty miles Of the grading already COM
pleted. Even if the Iowa Central were
of no more Importance to tho State
than the proposed st. Louis & Cedar
Rapids road, it is folly to expect news
papers to print as much about one as
the other, when one is cherished idea
and the other an undeniable fact. Go
ahead with your st. Louis & Cedar Rap
ids; but don't be jealous because the
Iowa Central has got so much the start.
There is an abundance of room for both
roads, and we, surely, do not object to
their both being built.

Precautions Against Cholera.

Hats Journal Of Health gives the fol-
lowing admonitory advice in regard to
Cholera, which frightful scourge has al
ready reached our shores: .....
LIST. Every householder owes it to HIM
self, to his family, to his neighbors, to
the community in which he resides, to
have his house, from cellar to garnet,
from the street curb to the rear line of
his lot, most scrupulously cleaned, by
sweeping, washing and embarrassing.
I'd. Every man who has any authority
in city or town government, should con-
slider himself bound by the oath of his
Office, and by every consideration of hui
manity, to give himself no rest until
every street, alley, close gutter and sew
er, is placed ia a state of rs perfect clean
illness as possible, and kept SO until the
frosts of next season come. .E
Sd. These cleanings should be done
now, because, if put off until warm
weather, the very effort necessary foz
the removal of filth will only tend, in
the essential nature of things, 10 hasten
the appearance of the disease, toincrease
its malignity, and to extend the time OF
its devastations because the suns OF
spring and summer the sooner warm
into life and intensity the viperic and
malignant influence, which, in it's re-
morseless tread, wrecks so much of hu.
man happiness, and desolates SO many
hearthstones. .s..

THE liquor-sellers of Iowa City re-
Gently published a proclamation setting
forth the fact that they would, after the
18th of April, refrain from selling intox-
icating liquors in violation of the State
law, and would only keep beer, cider
and Iowa wine. They were induced to
take this step because "the Federal and
city licenses do not protect our [theirl
constitutional and personal rights"
which the people of Johnson County
have been seriously interfering with.

A friend suggests to US the cest way for

TORS, Is to send reliable man to the best East
ducts TO him, have him sell 1t, and send them
the full price. Thus, they will realize the prof
US made by several spectators, through whose

can suggest. Try 1t, farmers.-.fdrengo Pro-

ufactories. What then? Simply Sc
cure home manufactures and a diversi-
fed industry, and thus establish home
market. Make butter and cheese, raise
cattle, horses and hogs; grow wool and
fax-imp0rt raw material rather than
manufactured goods! Let Iowa feed
and clothe her own people, and make
her own wares, implements and ma
chinery. This is what the people of
Iowa ought to club together" in. In
this way they might "realize the profits
of several spectators" aud obviate all
necessity for sending agents to seaboard
cities. BY this plan, too, the East
would be obliged to send agents west to
buy grain-putting the boot upon quite
another leg. Rights that may be de-
Tended will be respected. Now, the
people are completely at the mercy of
the Lowells and Lawrences of New
England, and the Liverpools and Man
chesters of Old England. Try our
plan.

IRON FOR THE GREAT RoAD.-The
first iron of the season for the Pacific
road reached our levee day or two
since. 1t found Mr.. Reed, the able SUI
perintendent of construction, and Gen.
Easement, the heavy contractor for lay
ing it, all in order for giving it suita-
BILE reception. Arrangements had been
perfected weeks ago under the most
complete organization Tor renewing the
work on the grades and laying the iron,
and the work now begins. While the
Kansas interests are studying how to do
it, we congratulate ourselves that the
managing head of the main line of the
Great Road pushes on the iron column
with unprecedented rapidity. Kearney
will be reached and passed the first day
of 1867, and while discussions are going
on as to the main line, it will go straight
to the Mountains and close the argu-
ment.-Onadh0 Herald.

What they Think Of the Iowa Central In
Minnesota ,-

Minnesota. "
The Iowa Central Railroad, rs our
readers generally know, is not only to
connect ut the Iowa line on the south
with the North Missouri road, leading
to st. Louis, and thereby opening easy
communication with New Orleans and
Galveston, but is eventually, and at no
distant day we hope, to make connec-
ton at the Iowa line on the north with
the Minnesota Central road, leading to
built to the lumber and mineral regions
bordering the shores of Lake Superior.
The Minnesota Central Railroad COM
pany have repeatedly given assurance
that they would do all in their power to
secure the early completion of the link
which the Iowa Central is destined to
supply in the great chain Of railroads
leading from Lake Superior on the
north to the Gulf on the south. The
following letter, written by the Presi-
dent Of the Minnesota road, handed to
us by its receiver for publication, though
written tho early part of last month,
will be found full of interest: ".

Home Manufactures.

The farmers of this vicinity, as we'll
as our own immediate citizens, are fully
aroused to the importancea and necessity
of establishing manufactures of various
kinds in this county, if we would con-
tinue to increase in material prosperity,
and our readers are aware that the sui .
ject has been under discussion with our
agricultural friends for some time, with
a view to improving their own interests
as well as those of the county generally.
In view of the facts, it is not strange
that our farmers should be the very
first to discover the trouble and suggest
the remedy - with raw material SO
cheap and the manufactured article so
dear, it is only to be wondered at that
they did not cry out long ago. AS Mr..
Pritchard pointedly remarked, at the
late meeting of the Low Moor Farmers
Club, lit takes fifty to one hundred
bushels of corn to buy q coat, and from
twenty-five to forty to buy q pair of
boots, while at the East one quarter or
even less would suffice, and all simply
because in the one instance the consum-
er and the manufacturer are near to-
gether, and in the other they are. widely
separated. This is the case exactly,
and the remedy is self-suggestive let
us establish home manufactures and
the evil will be overcome.

COMPLEMENTARY - The New York
Herald of the 10th has half column
editorial abusing Secretary Harlan. By
this Mr.. HIS friends in the West will
understand that he has done nothing
yet to secure the praise of the " Satanic
press" What the Herald complains of
particularly, is that Mr.. Harlan, being
all avowed Radical, should have the
presumption to continue to occupy a
position in Mr.. Johnson's Cabinet. 1t
is we'll understood among Republicans,
that, inasmuch as they sought no quar-.
rel with the President, and if there
should be permanent senaration of
Mr.. johnson from the Republican par
W, it would be wholly of his own choos-
ing, and it would be best that all the
steps to that end should be taken by
him that office-holders throughout the
country. from the Cabinet to the small
est postoffice, should continue to hold
their places until the President should
signify his desire for them to resign, or
appoint their successors. So far as Mr..
Harlan is concerned, if anything were
wanting to give him q still stronger
hold upon the confidence of the loyal
people of the country, it would be sup
piled by the abuse of dis1oyal papers,
and particularly the N. Y. Herald.-
Blame from such source is high praise.

AN ONION CRoP.-Mr Samuel J. Pres
ton of Pleasant Valley in this county,
gives the following figures as the yield
of two onion crops. From three acres
of ground he marketed 2, 400 bushels of
merchantable onions for which he re-
ceived $500, an average of 80 cents per
bushel. He sowed nine pounds of seed
(of his own raising) and after that gave
them one good hoeing, occupying
twelve days, which was all the labor
expended on them, until ready for
market. The season before the same
piece of ground was sown with eight
pounds of seed and marketed 200 bu-
shells of onions, which he sold at 81, so
per bushel, yielding him the nice little
sum of ST 800. Thus in two seasons, off
three acres of ground, has been raised
8, 900 bushels of onions, which sold for
t,0enty.sir hundred dollars. Allowing
the largest kind Of wages for the labor
expended on the crops, and market
price for the seed (which Mr.. p. raised)
and there is handsome profit remain
ing, which would have been larger If
Mr.. Preston could have got his crop to
market few days earlier. Who says
farming is not healthy business

TRIClIINA EXCITEMENT. We have
heretofore paid but little attention to
the many reports concerning the 1rich-
ina Spiraiis in the country, because we
believed it to be an unmitigated hum.
bug. In these speculative times of
"bulls" and "bears," we thought the
excitement was mainly gotten up for
speculation by interested parties but
it now appears that it is reality, and
has made its appearance in our midst.
Last Saturday morning as Mrs. Porter,
living on Chambers street, was wash
ing her dishes after breakfast, she felt
something pricking the end of one of
her fingers, causing a feeling similar
to that produced by pricking with a
tiny particle of glass, and upon examin-
alton she discovered that it was very
small living worm. Examination was
made by a microscope, and the little
animal was pronounced genuine
Trichina. Drs. Vary and Estes took a
piece OF the pork the family were using,
and by microscopic observation it was
ascertained to contain large numbers
of Trichina, some of them being plain
ly visible to the eye unaided by the
lens. This discovery has not only
caused uneasiness in that family, but
has also set this neighborhood to think
ing seriously on the subject, and many
have set their faces against the whole
porcire species, and resolved to eat no
more Of their tlesh.-pe Wit Observer.
