Iowa City and Cedar Falls.
Tho last number of the Iowa City Press says

safely assert that our city is making more rap

"All right, Bro. Perkins! We rejoice in the
prosperity of your town, and of all towns IN

drop down upon us in June, say during the
commencement exercises of our University ?
we should be gratified to do the honors OF the
city to the representative of SO fine county as
Black Hawk, and of a Journal so excellent as
the GAZETTE. '-io'ca CITY Press.
The Press man will please accept
our thanks for the invitation. We shall
try to "drop down" sometime. It
would afford us much pleasure to do the
Eonors Of Cedar Falls to Brother Irish,
and, not desiring to make appointments
far in the future, we suggest that he
come up to "see the elephant" on the
occasion of the grand opening of the
Iowa Central Railroad to travel and
traffic.
THAT young gentleman who, when parting
| from MS lady love" on Sunday evening
stands in the doorway and takes such aftec.
tionate farewells, should remember that it is
makes him risibte to all. Our advice is to bid
goodbye inside, unless you wish to have half
the town see you.-Beliepue Journal.
The young man simply "takes"
such affectionate farewells as are offer
ed. OF course, then, the "lady-love -
gives them. The young man is guilt
less, and the advice above quoted alto
gether inapplicable. Do the girls of
Bellevue do much of this business p
Can it be possible that they throw their
fair, plump arms around the fellows
necks and draw the stupid faces down
to the warm, sweet kisses of rosy lips
do they insist on resting their pretty
heads against the bosOms of the
chaps? Do they insist on being ever so
long about taking kiss and saying
good-by, and then call the frightened
victims back for other hugs, other kiss
es, and other partings? We have known
young men like this, but never such
young women. We have strong in
clination to visit Bellevue, "just for a
curiosity" We might not readily
adapt ourself to the custom of masculine
passixeness, but it would not be I'M
pleasant to try. We wonder if Belle
vue derived its pretty name from the
views the bellies afford "to half the
tewn?"
A German girl of Dubuque went to
Galena few days ago in search of her
sister. At the depot she made some In
quiries of a miserable pimp, who volun-
teered to show her the location Of her
sisters residence. She accepted the in
vitation, and the two, followed at safe
distance by four confederate pimps who
had received the wink, left the depot
together. The unsuspecting girl was
led to n secluded place. and there raw
ished by the five villains. One of the
men is under arrest; the others, til ough
known, cannot be found. The Galena
Gazette, from which we CLEAN the above,
also chronicles two attempts at rape on
respectable young ladies of that city,
The Dubuque papers report that the
wife of night Waterman of that city,
and mother of nine children, was out
ragged by man who entered the house
in the husbands absence, and threaten
ed to murder his victim if she made the
least cutlery.
THE Board of Directors of the Iowa
Central Railroad meet at Oskaloosa next
Tuesday. The balance of the work i'm
Black Hawk and Tama counties will be
let, and steps taken to put the road I'M
der contract from the State line to Abba,
Monroe county. At the meeting sue
ceeding the one to be held next week,
the Board hope to make contracts for
grading in all the remaining counties
on the line, except Poweshiek. 1t is
expected to have the entire line, from
CnI al u To tha
North Missouri Railroad, under contract
this Fall. The Iowa Central goes glori-
ously forward!
THE latest statement in regard to the
trial of JEFF Davis is, that it will be post
poned until the November term of the
Richmond Court, and that some altera-
tons will probably be made in the in
dictment. James II. Brady, of New
York, has been retained IS counsel for
the defense, together with O'Connor
and Shea. 1t is stated that they have
agreed to demand that their client be
released upon bail, if a postponement of
his trial is insisted on, which he ;s ready
to give to the amount of ten millions, if
demanded.
SECRETARY HARLAN refused to re-
spond to the fiddles of the Johnson
Club of Washington, in the recent sere-
made Of the President and his Cabinet
officers. He wrote letter in reply to
the Invitation rendered him, which the
New York Tribune puts in the follow
ing nutshell:
