We are indebted to Gen. e b. +. Butler
for copy of his severe and convincing
letter on the Currency Question. Butler
is an able writer determined man not
an able general, but hard naa to fghtin
political strategy. Since his apostacy,
first at Charleston against Douglas, then
an alder of the Rebellion, then bitter and
unrelenting prosecutor of the southerners
whom his own acts had melted to revolt !;
then terrific abolitionist, and now what
is called by his own party "repudia-
tionist,'' we confess to but little love for
him. He urites conyincingly, and that is
all. .1a .a sa#H .fe9as.ur,.5s..,

An Aged Ploneei

An Aged Pioneer. t4's' wy
Died, at Garnayillo, October Goth, 1867,
Mrs. ELIzABETn READ, relict Of the late
Capt. Robert Il. Read in the End year Of
her age. $500. ...,l, I...,'T......-
Thus has another of the noble pioneer
women passed away. Mrs. Read migrated
to this county, with her husband, about
the year 1888, and long will the early set
tiers remember the kind hospitality that
the home Of this couple afforded, Mrs. r.
was woman of extraordinary philanthro-
py. Her attachment for those around her
was such that in seeking their comfort she
became forgetful other: own, and her deep
devotion to her family was demonstrated
by acts Of the most self.sa sacrificing nature.
For nearly fifty years she was an earnest
and exemplary member Of the Methodist
Epis. Church, and although during her
latter life she was denied the privilege Of
hearing the Gospel, yet she could always
fndtrue Christian consolation in that Book
of Books on which she anchored her hopes;
she left us the consoling evidences that her
hopes were well founded. Oh, let me
die the death of Christian, and let my
latter end be like hers" Peaceful and
calm she resigned her body to the dust,
and her spirit to the Lord who gave it.

In Munich the authorities for some time
past have required that, in all cases of chill
dren dying in their, first year, the parents
should declare whether or not the infant
has been nursed by the mother. A statis-
teal table for the last two years shows that
out of one hundred deceased infants eigh.
ty-eight were not so brought up. lfiss4e

In Iowa we gain FIVE counties, and in
crease the Demociatic vote in almost all
the others. OF course, we have not yet
carried the State. It il one Of the black
est in the Union. The reason is uninten-
tionally conveyed in Radical dispatch re-
garding the result, which says: "The
counties out Of the reach of the telegraph
are all strongly Republican" When the
means Of communication penetrate ill
parts Of the State, Iowa will be Democrat

forty people each. The cars are lighted
