sends us q circular to insert for which we
are promised tho freedom of the MErRopoLI-
TAN, which house has recently been 'stak-
en"'by BALDWIN, and its engineering will
be done in good style. A splendid ride
with Charley once upon time, and nice
fare at the Hough House, enable us to state
that the MET. will be kept A. No. / but
we can't tell folks to stop at any place but
the BRlccs, It is our choice to go Home.
FRED and FRENcH and Snow and TICKER ;
the BARRIERS, the saloon-ers, the help, gen.
orally, all look '.pretty" at us, and we
won't so to, any other house "for nothin.' ~
No reflection on the Metropolitan, but Sc
riously, Charley, we don't know any house
in Chicago but the Briggs. is told US
that some heavy capitalists of Dubuque
and, of the east as well as great number
| of wealthy citizens on the line, are devot-
ing time and money to secure the building
of the Land Grant Road from this point
tia West Union to the Missouri. This
completed and the River Road from St.
Paul and st. Louis in operation, we know
Of few places that will command the pre-
eminenco which our city can claim. 49,.
Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Rogers left on Tuesday
for their respective eastern homes. :. Gen.
Bigelow and lady are in town. The Gen.
thinks he will stay with us and re-acquaint
himself with the people of this settlement.
Well bet he can get unanimous vote to
stay......Dr. Ed. Plumb, of Milwaukee,
was here last week reviving old and tried
friendships. The "Germania'' Fire En-
CINE, of Gutenberg was brought up on the
Gault on Thursday last. 1t was sent here
for trial, and if suitable our Council would
buy it at 5000. A very low price, if good.
On Saturday sour boys" old as well as
young, turned out on q big spree and set
the .masheen' to water-squirting it was
notin order, didn't do well, and on Sunday
was re-shipped to Gutenberg. Why CAN'T
we have a strong Hook and Ladder Conn
pany? If reservoirs were made for the
waste water of White, Springs, or if els
terms were dug at convenient distances up
Main and Ann Sts, a H. & L. Co. could
keep this town in pretty good order. We
are not in the confidence of the Council
what sadness for US !--or we should advise
them to look this acknowledgment up
and see how the city can be saved. 90.
I'VE are indebted to Geo. Prindle, Esq,
for acopy Of his new paper advocating the
interests Of the working man; he also
hands usIa Chicago paper, entitled I: The
Workingman's Advocate, ., containing the
proceedings of the second annual meeting
Of the National Labor Congress. The the
Dry, like that of Fenianism, is beautiful,
but the practice is bosh.l LABOR cannot
beat capstat,i and those who dream of it
will find their dreams going by contraries.
The man who has meat, potatoes, flour,
salt and money is ahead of one who runs
public meetings. We admit the mutuality
of Capital and Labor, but CAfIrAL has the
longest end Of the see-saw board 1t will
always be So; it always ,eas so. When
you make men out of;womcn, whites out
of negroes, truth out Of the Indians Of the
plains, honesty out of scheming politicians,
raise peas on cherry-trees, or do anything
else which upsets natures laws, either
vegetable, physical, moral archaeological,

"let her rip'') then you can find Money
MoSoroLy, if the word suits better-bow-
ing, cap in hand, to LABOR! We work,
and work hard too, but while we toll with
hand, pen and foot, we kno,c that our liv-
ing is derived from those who can pay US.
Why do men seek wealth but to be ''inde-
pendent p. ED. Deacon, late of Crcsco,
is now at LEROY, the latest fnvorite in the
way of Railway stations. Westward the
star of empire goes somewhere, and Ed.
is after that star......Any number of our
merchants have gone east and many have
come back, loading trains, steamers and
barges with merchandise. Let us wait till
they get their pretty things rugged up Tor
western merchant-taste and then puff the
whole lot together. If they want special
notices Of their stock arrivals they always
get them on call. b.,
Waukon has the County Records of Al

towns, but few individuals don't seem to
like the movement. ...Col. CALKINs is en-
