PRoDrcE.-We call attention to the card
Of Messrs. Cochran Gum. After an abb
sence Of two years, our friend, Mr.. Cochran,
resumes the Produce and Grocery business
in keokuk. He has, with this interruption,
SO long been in that business here that he
doesn't need an introduction to our people.
He has for years been one Of our most popu-
lar and favorite dealers. Mr.. Gum has long
been in business here, and ia. well and most
favorabiy known. He cannot fail to be pop.
ular in whatever business he engages in.
This firm have good honse and spendid
stock. They offer rare inducements for pub
lie patronage in buying or selling, and we
warmly commend them to our own citizens
and the public round about tha, come hi,her

Two weeks ago large meeting of the
Christian denominations was held, looking
to abolishing amusements on the Sabbath,
and rejecting more particularly on the
German population. Last evening large
meeting was held by the Germans, and the
measures violently opposed. Strong reso-
lutlons were adopted declaring their rights
under the Constitution of the United States
and the State of Wisconsin, to worship
Almighty God according to the dictates of
their own conscicnces, and concluding as
follows 1--WE declare that we are opposed
to the so-called Temperance Law, which
has been attempted several times to be es-
tablished. The founders are of the same
spirit a. the advocates of church compul-
sion. These laws not only infringe upon
personal rights, like liberty of trade, but
do not check the evils of dissipation which
we lament, but, as experience teaches abet
them and create and advance hypocrisy
and pharisaical disposition
The resolutions were signed by M Shoef-
flcr, Christian OFT and Beman Domschke,
committee.
Ex-Gov. Solomon and other distinguish
ed speakers addressed the meeting amidst
much enthusiasm. Many Americans also
took part with the Germans, and there
seems to be majority decidedly opposed
to any interference with their quiet ard
orderly recreations on the Sabbath the
same as they have been accustomed to en-
JOY in their own countrywide. Neus.

A chronicler gives details Of the difficult
ties encountered by French officer who
is bold enough to want to marry. They
are curious
The officer makes a formal demand for
permission of his colonel, and adds the pa
pers certifying to the dot and the moral
standing Of his future BRIDE, These are
the only documents necessary. The colo
mel sends the demand to the general COM
handing the brigade of the department
who addresses it to the general command
ing the division, who, if the bride elect
does not live in his district, writes to his
contrere of the division occupying that part
demand, instead of continuing to mount
the hierarchy, redescends from the division
general to the brigadier, who. writes to a
communicable de place, who consults COM
missioner Of police and a mayor then the
mayor and commissioner reply to the cont
anandant de place, who replies to the briga-
der general, who replies to the general
OF the division, who sends the answer to
his confrere.
The demand then goes to a marshal, and
II he does not exact any further informa-
ton, he proposes to the minister of war
: to ratify the permission coming from the
hands of the postman, the packet is un-
sealed by clerk, who adds stamp, sub
ordinate reads it, hands it to another clerk,
who puts number above the stamp, and
records the number on another sheet Of
paper, with an analysis Of the affair this
sheet is then signed by chief and sub
chief, then goes to director, who sends it
to chef de bureau; he gives it to his depu-
~ then an orderly clerk reinscribes the
number of the packet, registers it. and
sends it to another, who makes report Of
the analysis. The three members of this
chief signs Submits b b9 bys h dsacttdhge
who submits it to the minister, who ac-
cepts or refuses. In case of refusal the
packet is returned by the same circumlo-
cutions in case Of appreciation, a new
circuit is yet to be made in the bureau of
the chief, the deputy, &c.
The most admirable feature Of the ar
rangement is, that all the business is ac-
cOmplished in two months.

The English Secretary of Legation at
Lisbon recently wrote home: ''All port
wines hitherto exported for the English
market are largely mixed with brandy,
and are composed almost as much of elder
berries as of grapes. The Paiz de Venha-
terio abounds in elder trees the berries
Of these trees are dried in the sun or in
kilns. The wine is then thrown on them,
and the berries are trodden Jas previously

with the coloring matter of the berries.
Brandy is then added in proportion of
from three to sixteen gallons to every pipe
of one hundred and fifteen gallons. This
is the composition of all the port wine
hitherto drank in England" Have we re-
ceiyed any purer in the United States

Kingston, of course, is one. The writs

The Iowa State Register beats anything
we ever heard of in its manner of endors-
ing Radical schemes. 1t very sarcastically
says;
off Kentucky had gone over bodily to
her sisters of the South during the late
rebellion, it would have saved the people
of the North and the Federal Government
a vast deal of embarrassment. Had Ken
lucky beon -out-and- Out Hubcl State, the
blacks within its borders would now be vo-
tcrs, and with their help loyal men could
be elected to township, county, and State
offices and to Congress. AS the case is,
we see no reason why the delegation elect
ed from that State should not wait at the
doors of Congress, hat in hand,' until
Ben Wade, Schuyler Colfax, and other 10y
al guardians of the public interests shall de-
eide the State has purged itself from its al
lance with Traitors -
Under the present state of affairs, it
would be much to the advantage of the
Radical party if Kentucky had been re-
bellious State then she might have been
stripped of all her State rights and turned
over to military authority, her white popu-
lation disfranchised, the negro vote obtain
ed for a small portion of the government
fund, and, in fact, become indispensi-
BILE to the perpetuation of Radical rule
As Kentucky was not really rebellious
State, the Register can see no reason why,
it it would be advantageous to the Radical
cause, she should not be treated as such -
