OF tho Iowa Central Fsail
Road,

An encouraging deg,ue of interest a p
pears To have been created in st. Louis
III the speedy completion Of the iowa
Central Railroad. In Il recent mum Der
OF the st. Louis Times we find an arti-
Gle In reference to the enterprise of spe-
cial Importance to that city. The Iowa
Central Railroad il referred to as follows:
Tho second enterprise In importance
to st. Louis and the South is the extern
sion of the North Missouri railroad now
under contract to the state line, To be
finished by September of the present
year. The Iowa corpOrators are strug-
CLING along nobly and considering all
things, are making rapid progress.
Their speed, however, could be acceier-
ated by little assistance from st. Lou
Is. There are millions of dollars lying
idle here, II small proportion of which
could be most proiitably employed in
assisting the Iowa people in making
their connection at the Missouri state
line. The road which will first be built
is the one from Cedar Falls via Oska-
loOsa and Alba, in Iowa. Work Is he.
Ing pressed forward on it-every county
through which it has passed has sub
scribed Literally, and there il no doubt
OF its final completion. When compile
ted we shall intersect five of Chicago's
western connections, and draw an inn
mense trade from the wealti,iest and
most fertile portion of Iowa. st. Louis
cannot afford to wait one day longer
than she j. obliged to wait for the con.
nection. She has lost millions of dol
lars worth OF trade--we say millions
advisedly, for we know the ability and
inclination Of the people who live along
the projected line-for want of it, and
will continue to lose by it until compile
ted. From N0rtitield, in Minnesota
to the Iowa line, from Cedar Falls
north and south, and from Macon City
north the work is progressing, and IL
will no. be long before st Louis and
st. Paul will be united by bonds of
steel, over which during the cessation
OF navigation the immense products of
the largest wheat growing aud lumber
producing state in the union will pour,
into our city. As important as is the
OF the rapids and the ex-
tension of the iron Mountain and In.
Branch roads, they cannot
exceed in magnitude or influence the
two that we have named. We trust
that we shall succeed in arousing some
interest and enthusiasm In their behalf
An enthusiasm which shall take q
practical turn and accomplish it's object.

What ti,cy think of Iown.

In late number of the Cleveland
tOhio) Herald may be found the fol-
lowing notice of ride through
Iowa:
We might dismiss the ride across
Iowa by saying that from the Missouri
to the Mississippi the country present
ed not a foot of land incapable OF the
highest cultivaticn, aud that nature has
made the entire State, on the route
Travelled by the party, as perfect gar
den rs lies out OF doors. Back u score
OF miles from Omaha after making slow
progress over the hills that make the
prairie a rolling one, we came i'll view
Of the Boyer Valley; aud seeing the
beauty OF that landscape all felt TO ex-
claim,
Twas lovely sight tosee
w nat heaven mad done for this goodly land.
Save that there was no body of water
in view--a very essential requisite to
perfection OF landscape-the eye can
not rest upon richer, more lovely val
ley than the Boyer Valley of Western
Iowa. Miles upon miles, without q
house or Il fence, the land Us il came
from the hand of its Maker, the view
was over landscape rs refined, as Ii
science and labor aud money had been
exhausted in periecting the scene, anu
one could imagine the coach passing the
well Kept reserves of a landed nobiii-
ty, rather than through valley that is
yet IN its wild virginity. And here too,
the eye found relief resting upon gro ves
scattered here and there as if planted
for the ornamentation of the sweet val
ley. If the whole of Iowa IL like that
portion through which this railway
runs, from river to river IL has not n
waste foote OF land in it; indeed it has
not foot that is not superlatively rich
1t is diversified by rolling prairies bs'
abundant streams, ami what il particu-
iariy nttractive-by groves of timber.

why mos do 90 IIcre9

A building association, with a capital
OF S3OO,Uu0, has been organized in Mil
waukee, the object of which is to erect
small dwelling houses during the next
spring and summer for the working
men OF the city. !. is proposed to erect
some three or iour hundred. This is a
plan which might be followed with the
greatest benefit in every city, large or
small, where there is a demand for
dwelling houses for mechanics and
workinyinen. We know OF no place
where there is more need of sucli AN
association than in our city. The mon.
ey paid into an association of this kind,
II properly taken care of, will pay "a
good percentage, besides being great
benefit to those who have to rent, by
giving them better class Of houses
than they now get.-Iinlcs.

Quite sensation was created In Dy-

men, who In fit of drunken anger,
proceeded little distance from town,
and, after marking the distance of q

other with revolvers. Both escaped un-
hurt-to their great delight 1t il said
that the brave fellows trembled so,
when they raised their pistols TO IRE,

Immigration 20 ,hc west.

II Is stated that the coming spring
will witness II larger emigration from
Northern Europe To this country than
has ever before occurred. In view of
this fact the Legislatures of several or
tle Northwestern states are discussing
propositions looking To soma action that
shall secure 10 them some Of the bcn.-
fits of this immigration. In the Indi-
ana Legislature bill has been intro
dueed for the appointment of Board
OF Emigration, consisting of I've menu
bers, for this purpose. In tho Minne-
sofia Legislature 1t is proposed to print
q hundred thousand copies of PAM

the Inducements which that State pre-
sents to such emigrants.
Tle Madison WIS., Journal urges
similar action by the Legislature Of

POISONING BY ToDACco JuIcE.-Ths

The Pope aud the Protestants I'm
1t0mc.

The pope has improved the opportu-
nifty afforded by the withdrawal of the
French troops from Rome to return to
the practices of the church in the dark
ages. The services Of the Scotch Presby-
terian Churchin kome,a "a little commun-
ity OF eighty or hundred foreigners
VINO have worshiped quietly in private
house for the last dozen years, have
been forbidden under the pains and pen
aities of the Holy Inquisition." It
is also understood that the services OF
the American Protestants will be sup
pressed. These proceedings in city
governed by the head of the Catholic
Church are in strange contrast with
the privileges and iDimunitics enjoyed
by Catholics in every Protestant coun-
try in the world. and GO far to Justify
the Italian revolutionists in their oppO-
sition to Papal rule in Rome.

Pittsburg Oil Trade.
PITTsBURG, May "a, ls6'

NN~s 10y
Business, so far as relates to oil was
dull. The sales made were on small
scale, as buyers and sellers were apart
i'm their views. There was a falling off
in the receipts yesterday, which reach
ed 3,219 barrels. The stock of crude
on hand is not large. Refners, how.
ever, have good supply on hand and
are not disposed to purchase at the pre-
vailing rates. The only sales that came
under our notice were as follows: 300
bbls, bulk, &c. We also note sales of
1000 bbls Venango oil, bulk, at tic per
gallon.
REFINED 0II-The market yesterday
was weak; buyers were disposed to hold
off for lower figures. Holders, how
ever, are not disposed to give way.
The sales reported were 1000 bbls, as
follows: 500 bbls bonded, August de-
liver at Philadelphis, 29c, and 500 bbls
do of the same description at soc, for
September delivery, Philadelphia.
Other lots were talked of, but nothing
further was consummated.
FREE OIL-Was without, movements
the sale were confined to small parcel
for local purposes.
