We never worried much on this subject
or on the Macmillan business. The first
we early concluded was patriotic nonsense
and failure, the second was of too little in
terest to bother about. To the people Of
the United States it is of little account
whether few regiments Of French soldiers
were guarding the Halls of the Montezu-
mas or a few scattered bands of Mexican
brieanIs-at var aciM each other-were
rollickins over the country, robbing every
delcnsless neighborhood and Individual

looks to US like Kilkenny-cat affair and
ave expect both sets of the warlike patriots
avill be used up, and we care not how soon
The Monroe doctrine is pretty to read and
popular to preach, but it is exceedingly
difficult for nation like ours to regulate
the balance of mankind on this or on the
other side Of the water until we can regu-
late ourselves. But this Mexican question
is happily losing it's interest. MAX. leaves

Leave, if he must: it is none of our bust
ness, and hence we don't care darn about
wasting time or thought in contest where
edventurers from France and Yellow

Mexican question is too much for brief
article and we drop it.

sirable country is as good an Ireland as
you left. Within the last few weeks it has
grati6ed US to hear from those who were
once enthusiasts in Fenianism that we were
right three years ago and they were wrong.
Let the press generally and specially come
down on the nonsense. Why nesd inno-

We copy from late No. of the Lansing
Journal the following deserving notice of a
valued friend and fellow-citizen of ours
1t is told US by those who know that the
Captain is soon to visit Milwaukee for n
a wife. The article below will show her
that her +" Soldier boy" is appreciated at
home:
Last week one day we were favored with
q friendly call, by Capt. Ben. Contal, of
Co. F, 9th Iowa Cavalry, of McGregor,
Iowa.
Capt. Contal enlisted at Lansing, August
%, 1868, as private under recruiting officer
Davis, of this place. Though the rules
were that those who should enlist the most
men, were to have the Offices, and notwith-
standing the captain never enlisted man
save himself, and without any effort on his
part or that of any friend, he was called
out of the ranks, in preference over doz-
en- aspirants, and made captain of the COM
pany.
The captain has the reputation of being
one of the bravest of the many courageous
men Iowa sent to the war, and honorably
won promotion on many field, but alas,
that it should be recorded OF the leading
men of the nation at that date but it is
true merit was nothing unless its possess
or was an abolitionists. Hence the captain
being an unwavering democrat he went in
captain and came out a captain, while
hundreds Of milksops were taken from the
school room, the drawing room, some to
be made Majors, Colonies or Generals
The captain fought for the Union, and now
favors the prompt restoration of the con-
quered, subdued and pcnitent states to
their proper places in the Union. lie de-
sires that his work shall not have heen in
vain. If the war was waged to prevent
the Southern states from leaving the Union,
and as the unionists were victorious the
captain says the states are all members of
the Union, and those who deny it, or at
tempt to keep them out, are traitors as black
as those he helped to conquer.
The captain is genial, well-informed
gentleman, of correct habits and the finest
social qualities. Long may he wave"

The Northwestern. ..

been considerable and not screw in the

Below will be found a Statement of the

premium upon every dollar at risk, surely
an ample sum, if only ordinary care has
been taken in assuming risks. In addi-
ton to these facts we have only time and
space to ask the reader as he notes the
number Of policies issued, the amount of
premiums received, losses paid, &C., to re-
member that the company is only eighteen
months old, ind we are sure they will

NURDERER CONVICTED.

Lawrence Harl. charged with the muir
der of a child, four wears old, named Win
field S. Hines. in March last. near War
saw, was tried week before last, in that
place. The case was submitted TO the jul
ry late on Saturday afternoon, and after
few hours absence returned with verdict
OF manslaughter and confnement in the
Penitentiary Tor twerty-'Ife years The
child was bound TO Harl by its mother,
and IT,, sccordIng TO the testimony, abused
and tortured it to 1Sth- because he could
not learn il the alphabet. His Treatment
of the childwas Of the most cruel and say
age character, and it appears to us that he
must lave Lkown, If lie had any sense,
that the child could not long survive such
usage. If not crazy, Harl. in our judg-
ment is guilty OF cool, deliberate murder,
consequently should have been convicted
of that crime and sentenced to be hung,
or acquitted on the ground ofjnsanity.

Last week fifteen acres of Early Bough-

This is variety of smooth headed, white
wheat, which natures very early. 1t is
known in some localities as the Boston
White. Mr.. Alexander Heron informs us
that this wheat WAS in excellent condition.
unininred by the nudge, the grains plump,
and the heads well filled. This seems to
be even an earlier variety than that known
as the Swamp wheat. and as il is as desira-
BILE quality as the Genessee, II is likely to
become favorite in this section, where
early wheat is the only sure crop. None
of the carly wheat seems to be affected by
the midge-all late varieties are more or
less injured. -COnRerSriUe Times.
