SOME individuals are now predicting that
the corn crop of Iowa will be failure, or
rather that it will be but one-third crop.
We have not seen in any of our exchanges
any such gloomy forebodings, and think that
the statement is not as correct as it might be,
and 'het it is more the creation of gloomy
brains than anything else. Let us at any

How PEorIE Treat EAcu OrHER.-There
is so much wholesome teaching in the follow
ing that we thought proper to put it in type.
The writer says: +" Not one man in ten
thousand sees those with whom he associates
as they really are. If the prayer of Burns
we're granted, and we could all see ourselves
as others see us, our self,estimates would in
all probability be much more erroneous than
they now are. The truth is that we re-
gard each other through variety of lenses,
no one of which Is correct. Passion and
prejudice, love and hate, beneyolence and
envy, spectacle our eyes, and utterly prevent
US from observing accurately. Many of whom
we deem the porcelain of human clay, are
mere drt and o still greatsrnumber of those
we put down in our g black books are no
further of from heaven, and perchanee lit
tie nearer, than the censors who condemn
them We habitualy undervalue and over
value each other, aud in estimating charac-
ter, the shrewdest of us only now and Their
make the true appraisal of the virtues and
defects of even our closest intimates. 1t is
not fair to look at character from stand point
of ones own selection. A mans profile
may be unprepossessing, and yet his full
face agreeable. The merchant who gives
court answers in his counting house, may be
q tender husband and father, and kind
helper of the desolate and oppressed, On
the ether hand your good humored person,
who is all smiles and sunshine 10 public, may
| carry something as hard as the neither mill
stone, in the place where his heart ought to
| be. Such anomalies are common. There is
this comfort, however, for those whose mis-
judgments of their fellow mortals lead to the
kindly side-snch mistakesgo to their credit
in the great account. He who thinks better
of his neighbors than they deserve, canno,
be bad man, for the standard by which his
Judgment is guided is the goodness of his owr
heart. 1t is only the base who believe al
men base-or in other words, lik,
themselves. Few, however, are all evil
Even Nero did good turn to somebody 70
when Rome was rejoicing over his death

corrupt, they are sure to find eulogists. His

MEssRs. ALLYN l. RicKEY propose to pub
lish monthly journal, in connection with
the Real Estate agency they are about opening
in our city. The objec. Of the paper is to
set forth the local advantages Of keokuk and
vicinity, and to collect and scatter abroad in.
formation of statistical, historical and geo.
logical character, having bearing on the
DEVELOPMENT of the resources CT this sec
ton.
A journal specially devoted to that inter
est, properly conducted and extensively cir
culated, cannot fail to disseminate more
general knowledge and appreciation Of our
city. If the proprietors carry out their pros
gramme, in accordance with their present in :
tentons, they will doubtless receive all ade-
quate encouragement from the hands of our
business men and citizens generally.

dry goods, groceries, &c, will now improve,
and we will see more life and activity. The
past two months have been dull, very dull,
but such is usually the case during July and
August. II has always been so, but the life

"lost time" and the elongated faces are

TAX DEsDs.-As our citizens will soon
be called upon to attend sales of prop
erty for delinquent taxes, the late de-
cision of Judge McKune, of the Sacra-
mento District Court is important as to
the validity Of tax deeds. Judge
McKune decides that the last tax deed
cuts out all prior liens Of o similar
character against the property in ques-
ton. For instance, if A were to pur-
chase at Tax Collectors sale o piece Of
property for the State and county taxes
of 1866, and were to receive q deed
therefore at the expiration Of the six
months allowed for redemption, and B
was thereafter to purchase the same
property at q tax sale for State and
county taxes Of 1865, or 1864, or 1868,
or for any year prior to 1866, BIS deed
would be valueless, as AS was for the
latest tax. The purchase for State and
county taxes will not obliterate the
liens against it for city taxes-nor will
its purchase for city taxes obliterats
those held against it by the State and
county. The same ruling will apply to
city taxes as we'll as those of the State
and county-the latest sales for taxes
Will cut out all prior liens Of that CHAR
acter.-AarysviRe Appeal.
AS the legal questions involved in the
foregoing rulings of Judge McKune's
Court apply under our Nevada State
laws to similar cases, it is q matter of
some interestto our people, as tax sales
occur sometimes.

people Of Cheyenne City for the organ
~ization of that portion of Dakota into o
new Territory will present itself at
Washington this Winter, backed by a
political, financial and geographical in
fiuence, which will be very likely to
mako it successful. Geographical loca-
ton, CONFORMATION, and extent are such
as to naturally mark it out for q sepa-
rate political organization, and so natu-

INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs.-It is hard
enough for a lousy Washoe to get his
hide full of kerosene whisky and disturb
this amiable and temperate community
by raising the devil with hideous noises,
but when he gets arrested for his black
guard behavior, and gives a virtuous
white mans name as his own, he adds
insult to injury in q manner that is not
to be tolerated. The bloody Injun who,
upon being hauled up on Thanksgiving
Day for getting drunk, and who gave
his name as George Lewis, is an Internal
r~apscallion, whose real name is Pigeon
Toed Ike, and not George Lewis at all.
We make this correction in justice to
an honest pale face, who is a "mighty
good Injun" himself, but not of the red
skinned type. If this amt satisfactory,
George, we will just go and scalp that
cussed savage and be done with it.

straight lines around the corners, aud

the face ; the nose not remarkable, but
the brow broad, rounding and smooth,
