Served Him Rirlhf.

At a funeral service, at Friendship,
MODonough county, previous to the
interment of a soldier who had been
starved to death in 4 rebel prison, a
man was present robed in a complete
rebel officers uniform, to which no
person made any objection until he
manifested and expressed rebel senti-
mcnts, by such remarks as, "why
didn't you let him stay where he was
he was in hell anyhow" and other
insulting remarks. After the service
was entirely over, and the corpse COM
mitted to the grave, Mr.. Reb. was re-
quested to doff his uniform, which he
refused to do, whereupon some soldiers
present disrobed him in less time than
we can tell it. Ill. State Journal.

Who's Hit.

We clip the following from an ex-
change: ...
The Columbus (Gcorgia) Sun says :
All of our citizens who take the oath
of allegiance are required to state their
political opinions in s1S60. On the
books in the commandments office the
Union signers largely predominate.-
Captain Goble, so the story runs, was
looking over the list, when he would
see for whole page the names of Sc
cessionists as scarce almost as hens
teeth. "My God !" exclaimed he, af-
ier reading awhile, "if these few 'se-
cesh' caused us all this trouble for the
past four years, what couldn't they
have done if all these Union men had
joined them?" We give the story as
we heard it.

Poetry.
CAN'T DO WITHOUT A PAPER.

- ~ " i l. AASO n 4 A4 AAAss
What do without papcr' No,
I've tried II to my sorrow
30, to subscribe for one I'll go,
Nor wait until tomorrow.
Should lovers drown or hang themselves.
Orcut their foolish oaper,
never got to hear Of tt
do not take the paper.
Why, there's my neighbor, old John Stout
He always hears the news
And having nows to talk about,
lie never gets the "bues."
While others yawn in ennui,
His mind Is light as vapor,
The cause IS plain to half an eye--
Ho always takes the paper, .t
While neighbor Stout hears all the news,
And knows the current price,
Aud always minds his P's and Q's,
BY taking good advice
cannot tell the price of calves,
OF poultry, coffee, tape, or
Any kind of merchandise,
Because I have no paper.
Though have studies which require
Much time and mental labor, ..
Yet can spare little timo .H.
A. well As Stout, my neighbori
Though time is precious can use -r"-
long midnight taper,
And thus take time to tread the nows,"
Therefore I'll take the paper.
At q tavern, one night,
Messrs Nor, Strange and Wright ..
Met to drink and good thoughts to exchange.
Says Wright cor us three,
You all must agree,
There is but one rogue, and that's Strange"
Says Strange, "There's More,
That I've heard of before,
most terrible knaye and bite,
who cheated his mother, his sister, and brothersp
ooh yes" replied More, "that Wright"

The population of Paris is now
slightly above half that of London
namely, ,667,741, and has as near as
possible doubled since 1832-that isin
33 years--when London had exactly
the population which Paris has now.

capitals are increasing at an equal rate,

THE LOCAL PRESS.

A few days since we adver,ed to the du.
~ Of conservative men throughout Iowa.
and especially Of the politicians. to givette
public patronage to those who will
agree to run conservative newspapers.-
This includes mostly the pos'offce, asses
sorship, co'iectorship and other federal
patronage which can now be CONTROLLED
Iowa vii! never be redeemed from radical
thraldom until your newspapers, those
who have to 6ght your battles asd urge
on the truth through good report aud evil
report. through crushing defeats as well
a. victories, are properly sustained. The
abolitionirts in Iowa, or at least those who
have bad the distribution Of patronage,
have we'll understood the Importance Of
this matter, and ~ . consequence post
offices and other patronage have been
sho~ered upon the abolition press Of the
state almost withou: stint, and their press
has been efficient in proportion, and tho
that radical majorities maintained in most
localities. We are Of the firm belief that
radical ascenhency has been maintained
in this state more through the efficiency
Of the radical press located in each conn "
and permesting each township and school
district. than from any other one reason.
Let our leading democrats, those who
have now the distribution Of this atronage.
and who we believe have the welfare Of the
party a. heart, bear this fac. in mind and
in their recommendations &C, upon it,

THE MOUNTAIy Trade.

The rapid growth Of the trade between
this city and the gold mines Of Montana,
received through the hands Of emigrauts
to and miners returning from the noun
tsins, ~ welIas by orders from merchants
and traders, should stimulate our citizens
generally, but more especially cur mer-
chants and business men, to improve the
facilities for this trade, BY opening better
and quicker means Of communication
between our city and tho mines.
1t has been practically demonstrated
that the shortest, best. and safest route
from the Missouri River to the Gold
Mines Of Montana and Idaho, is from
Sioux City via the Niobrarah Valley
This route WAS opened 10 the summer Of
1865, BY Col. Sawyer, Of this city, and its
feasibility satisfactorily established. In
the summer Of 1866, he again travelled
over the samo route, without military
protection, escorting considerable train
Of emigrants, constructing and improving
the road, and reached Virginia City in q
much shorter time than trains which left
other points on the Missouri river south
Of 10 at the Same time that he left Sioux
City. This route lies over . country
which Furnishes = good natural road bed,
is we'll supplied with timber and water,
and experience has demonstrated that it
is less liable to interruption by hostile
Indians than any other route leading to
the mountains.
What our interests demand, and what
is duo to the people who design enigrat-
ing to he mou ntains, is that these facts
should be properly represented, published
and made known throughout the country.
The government should be made acquaint.
ed with the feasibility Of this route, and
the proper steps taken to secure the es-
tablisbmcnt Of At least weekly mail ser.
vice between Sioux City and Virginia
City. With the establishment Of mail
route between these points, Expres, com.
panies would extend their lines to the
moantaine, BY which means . large msjo-
rity Of the treasure Of the mines would
find quick and safe outlet to the East.
The advantages which our merchants
and business men would derive from tho
opening Of this route would be immense,
and will jsstify them in incurring SEEM
ing'y large expense in securing its es-
Enlistment.
We shall revert to this subject again,
and give some statistics Of the trade done
between Sioux City and tho mines during
the sammer and fall. We alluds to il at
presen. for the purpose of calling the
attention Of our business mea to the i'm.
portance Of making an immediate and
determined effort to secure the extensive
trade Of the mountains.
