A State Democratic Convention is called
for June 9th, at DesMoines. We have no
space for the story about it. If anybody
wants to go so far off to State Convention
we cannot help it. Why not have the
Convention On the River, or do like the NJ
Z. Church of the State? have t,ro places
to hold conference. Iowa City is not on
the great river, but it ought to be the Cap
ital, the place of holding the great courts,
conventions, agricultural exhibitions, and
everything else of State character. This
little, foolish, sectional, geographical jeal-
ousy, which causes the removal Of capt.
tai or county seat from place of general
resort to an obscure corner Of quarter
section, is an Americanism we most hear
tily dislike. Look at Michigan! The
State business taken from one of the oldest
and most interesting cities of the Union
and planted in the mud and stumps Of
Lansing!

SMART BoY.-A teacher in one of the
primary schools at Brook field, the other
day, found among his list of juveniles one
who was constantly engaged in some mis-
chief, and at the same time was given to
swearing. Having uttered an oath in vio-
latiOn of the teachers rules, he ordered
the aforesaid juvenile to take his place in
one corner of the old ricketty schoolhousc,
and placing pair of old fashion iron tongs
in his hand, ordered him to watch hole
in the floor until he should catch mouse
-supposing this would be great punish
ment. The little urchin sazed steadily at
the aperture, while the teacher, with his
face turned from him, was engaged with
the other scholars. At last he heard the
old tongs go bang! He turned his eyes
quickly upon the youth, who, with a coun-
tenance beaming with excitement, yelled
Teacher I've got the id little cuss -
ssss'aa ssHue enough he had Mister Mouse fast

THE SILVER YIELD OF NEvADA.-S. III.
Marlettc, ESQ.,, the Surveyor General OF
Nevada, in his report, states that the total
yield Of the Comstock silver lode during
the five years Of its working has been S45,-
100000. The litigation between the diff
terent owners of mines is now about ex-
hausted. 81, 100000 have been expended
IN litigation between the Chollar and Po-
tosi companies, and 81 100000 in the On
hir-Moscow trials, and of these Kilkenny
cat fights, lasting for years, the companies
have compromised by splicing all that was
left of them together. The following sta
tistics will furnish some idea of the extent
of this lode: l9,45S feet, or a little more
than three and two-third miles have been
explored. A distance Of nearly one mile
is entirely unexplored and the owners are
as ignorant to-day of the value of their
claims as they were when the locations
were made. The various companies have
excavated about 2S miles of tunnels and
drifts, and about five and three-fourth miles
of shafts, wings and inclines. The largest
tunnel is the Latrobe, 5000 feet in length,
in February 1861, and IS still progressing. 2.
There is consumed annually by these
companies about %, ,265 cords of wood, at
cost not far from $40. per cord, and q
total cost of more than on-third of mil
lion of dollars; and they use about Il, 504, :
l2O feet, board measure, Of timber and
lumber, all Of which must be transported
long distances on wagons, alta cost of about
$40 per m, or a total cost of nearly two
thirds of million of dollars, for wood

The RICE CRops.-It is stated that the
exports of rice from Asia to Europe, up to
the 3Oth of September, 1865, for one year,
amounted to l67, ALB tons, against 323, ,693
tons, or about 100000 bags, the previous
year. Of the Asiatic experts for 1S64-5,
there were still afloat, on the first of No
vember last, 20, ,534, against 50, Ala tons the
previous year. The Carolina crop was es-
timated at 900 casks, against 10000 to
10000 casks in former years. Of the new
crop, but little would find its way to New
York, and none to Europe. Formerly the
United States exported to Europe 10000
to $4,000 tons annually; now Europe ex-
ports heavily to the United States. AT
latest advices, the Burmah and Arracan
crop was in good order; from India the re-
port was, to 3Oth October, that the Bengal
crop had suffered heavy damage. Java is
almost disappearing from the list of ricc>
producing countries; and China will again,
this season, require a considerable portion
of the rice crop of Burmah.

WORDS IN UsE.-Tbe peasants of Eng
land have not more than three hundred
words in their vocabulary. The ancient
sages of Egypt, so far as we know by their
hieroglyphic inscriptions, used but six
hundred and eighty-five words. A well
educated person in England or America
seldom uses more than three or four thou
sand words in actual CONVEX sation. Acu-
rate thinkers and close reasoners, who
avoid vague and general expressions, and
wait till they find the word that exactly
fits their meaning, employ large stock,
and eloquent speakers may rise to the COM
mand of ten thousand. Shakespeare, who
displayed greater variety of expressions
than any writer in any language, produced
his plays with about fifteen thousand
words. Milton's works are compo> ed of
eight thousand, and the Old Test; me 1t
says all it has with five thousand, six hun
dred and forty-two words.

week attempted to poison his own family
and that of his employer, Hon. John Kane,

Under-skirtS for street wear. over whi

Under-skirts for street wear, over which
handsome silks or grenadines are to be
looped, are more elaborate than ever. Made
of the finest cambric, they present sue
cession of narrow futed ruffles, tucks, and
embroidered narrow insertings. Some are
braided in black, with groups of tucks ;
others arc simply trimmed with futed
ruffle, edged with Valenciennes lace, or a
succession Of narrow similar ruffles. 1t is
bad taste to wear handsome silk over a
colored skirt; white only is appropriate.
There are many pretty, neat materials for
skirts, mode colors, or black and white
stripes, trimmed with bands of white al
paca or empress cloth, upon which is
stamped design in black. These are
suitable for travelling or walking costumes
of any material not transparent.

fgure-a monk masked-entered the saloon
precisely at midnight, and disappeared af-

basket of flowers. On examining the con-

with silver, containing bridal wreath, an

was written: "a greeting from the land of

Countess did not lose her presence of mind,

SHAKsPEARE.-A stage-struck French
man made an application to an English
theatrical manager for an engagement. He
was asked if he could speak English as
well as French, and to convince the mana
ger that he could, he struck an attitude,
and recited the following, which bears
a hideous resemblance to the soliloquy of
the Duke Of Gloster:
snow is the winter OF our discomfort"
The Frenchman rendered it:
Now IL ze vinfar of our dem oneasness
Made into hot ved,lare by son Of York;
Eat Is vat you call 20 lttale boy Of Mister York;
And 10 dark clouds at ze top
Ded and buried at 10 bottom,

Zs dogs bow-ysw-vow az me
Ven walk by him.

was considered good, but he was not en-
gagged.

WAKING GRANDMA WITH K1ss.-A
sweet little incident is related by a writer.
She says: l asked a little boy last evening:
sIlave you called your grandma to tea''?
"Yes. When l went to call her she was
asleep, and didn't know how to waken
her. didn't wish to holler at grandma,
nor to shake her; so l kissed her cheek,
and that woke her very softly. Then !
ran into the hall, and said pretty loud,
Grandma, tea is ready And she never
knew what woke her,
Do we find anything more sweet, delicate,
and lovely than this in the annals of po-
etry? Can conventionality improve upon
such politeness, spontaneous in the heart
of six-years' old boy?'

A few days since Frenchman and wife
gave dinner party to celebrate the twenti-
eth year of their marriage. just before
dinner one Of them broke a tumbler. This
led to a discussion, which ended in each
party expressing wonder at having had the
patience to live twenty years with SO hor-
rid and so stupid an animal as the other.
The wife put on her bonnet and quit the
house. The husband lighted a chatting
dish full of charcoal in his chamber, and
laid on the floor. When the guests came,
and failed to obtain admittance, they broke
open the doors and found the husband
corpse.

ILL TEMPER. A sensible woman, the
mother of young family, taught her chill
dren from the earliest childhood to consid-
er ill-humor as disorder which was to be
cured by physic. Accordingly she always
had small doses ready, and the little pa
tients, whenever thought needful, took rhu-
barb for their crossness. No punishment
was required. Peevishness or ill-temper
and rhubarb were associated in their minds
always - cause and effect. s.
