ton of our townsman, Col. SAN. MERRILL
as Executive of Iowa, the Board of Direc
tors of the First National Bank, Of Nc
Gregor, of which the Governor elect was
President, held meeting Oct. 3Oth, at the
Bank, and accepted q resignation rendered
in the following modest and exceedingly
well-chosen language. Having been his
friend against all Republican candidates,
it is not out of place in As to say, that the
people of Iowa will find him unassuming-
ly capable as the administrator of their in
terests. His commendation of Mr.. O. Hull
verson, the Cashier, and of Mr.. VIM. Kin
nard, now Asst Cashier, is only reaec-
ton of public knowledge. May both of
them continue to hold the positions which
they have honored. The election of j. II.
Merrill and w. /. Gilchrist tc the impor-
tant Offices leading the Institution. will not
disturb confidence in the Bank. Both are
careful business men, and are large recipi-
ents of social and financial regard. To
Gov. Merrill we say For the sake Of the
printers, do not write long messages. You
will do as you please, of course; but you
will please all the press-gang in the state if
you drive your notions into as small

To the Directors efthe First National Bank
Of Nc Gregor:
GENTLEMEN For reasons known to you,
/ hereby tender my resignation as Presi-
dent of your Bank. In go doing, allow me
to congratulate you upon the success which
has attended the institution in the past and
uponiits hopeful prospects for the future.
Its condition is prosperous and full Of
promise. At the same time permit me to
express my thanks for the courtesy you
have ever accorded me and the confidence
with which you have honored me in all
our official relations. ;1,
To my associates in the administration
Of the Bank, am under many obligations;
and especially desire to commend the
Cashier for his care and faithfulness.-
Much Of our success has been due to the Fl.
nancial talent and the unremitting zeal he
has united in the performance of his du-
ties. would suggest that his response
bilities be lightened to such an extent as
to afford him some opportunity for regain
ing the health and strength he has impair
ed in the service Of the institution.
To Mr.. Kinnard, our principal book
keeper, the bank is indebted to much of
the praise awarded US by the Bank Exam
liners. His books are kept with the utmost
neatness and accuracy. TO testify our APP
probation Of his services, as well: Jas to meet
the increasing demands Of our business, l
would recommend that he be elected As
sistant Cashier. y s.., 81
Hoping that the prosperity of the Bank
in the past and present will be continued
and enlarged in the future,
remain, respectfully yours,
S. MERRILL, President.

of Directors are due, and are hereby ten.

Irish Girls
We know how common is the express.
SION: "She's pretty good-looking for an
Irish girlr' but there are some people who
do not know what actual beauty is. Clear
ness Of complexion kindness Of behav-
Jour ; cleanliness Of dress and the charm
of dif6dence have much to do in the make
up of womanly beauty. 1t is not brass,
unnatural hair accompaniment and an az
fectation of style that pretty-fes woman.
Many think these latter are essential, but
that kind Of thought is not prevalent
about here. A "hired girl'' once said to
the writer, "if those who call themselves
ladies would lose their powders and their
false hair they would be no better looking
than US who work for living" That is
just our opinion, with tho exception that,
giving all the advantages Of paint and
chignons to the ladies, they do not beat the
girls much, if any. American women
are noted in Europe for beauty. In Paris
they took the premium Of social recogni-
ton as the handsomest of all. This is
doubtless owing to our mixture of Europe
an blood. The United States have no dis
tinctness as race, but rather conglomer-
alton Of all races it would be strange if
our specimens at the Paris Exposition,
dressed in the wealth Of blood and cotton
which our late unhappy struggle has evolv
ed. should not look illustriously enchant-
ing. To these eyes the girls and ladies
whopromenade McGregor streets and keep
their houses in order, ere the most lovely
creatures in existence gazelles, fawns,
speckled trout and humming birds are no.
where but it must be remembered that
partially for our own residents blinds
us to the excellence of others, and as we
are not elected the Supreme Judge in the
Court of Beauty, it is proper that we sho'd
go slow in recording an opinion which
might be fatal to the peace uf some over
sensitive Crinoline who has been elected

presents Monsieur Felix Belleye, one of
the correspondents of the Paris Constitu-
tionel, has visited Ireland. lie became
charmed with the Irish women. He plac-
es them ahead Of all but the Caucasians of
ASIA as FELIX has never seen one Of
these, we claim that IRELAND is ahead as
a distinctive race, and that McGregor takes
the premium on combinations of loneliness,
no matter what the blood. Read Mon
sieur Belleye "'.- ' y '.'l
No European race, that of the Cauca-
sus excepted, can compete with it in beau
ty. The Irish blood is Of purity and dis
tinction, especially among the females,
which strikes all strangers with astonish-
ment. The transparent wilderness of the
skin, the absorbing attraction, which in
other parts of Europe is the attribute of
one woman in thousand, is here the gen.
eral type. The daughter of the poor man
as we'll as the fine lady, possesses an opal
or milky tint, the arms of statue, the foot
and hand of duchess, and the bearing of
q queen" sai,A. 1.a

SToNEwALL JAcKsoN.-In tho Relir-
ious Herald for this week VIC fnl the fol-
lowing interesting incident in the life Of
Jackson, which givesus an insight into some
of the thoughts that occupied his mind the
day after the great battle in which he won
his immortal sobriquet Of "Stonewall -
a few days after the first battle Of Ma
nassas an eager, anxious crowd was assem-
bled at the post Office in Lexington, Va,
on the arrival of the mail. The greatest
excitement prevailed, aud tiiings "from tho
front were eagerly sought after. The
venerable DR.. White (pastor Of the Pres
byter;an church, took letter from the
pOstofice, aud, recognizing it as in the
handwritingof Brigalier General (after-
wards 'Stonewalr') jackson, he said to the
crowd, "Here is letter from General Jack
sOn-now we viii have full and authentic
particulars of the battle" The crowd ca
gerly asked him to read aloud, and PRESSED
round to hear the expected stirring news
from the field of conflict. He broke the
seal and, to the great disappointment of all
found only these few lines:
"MANAssAs JUNCTION, July %, 'G1.
"MY DEAR PAsToR-I remember that
my subscription to Domestic Missions is a.
bout due. Please find enclosed $50.
Yours, very truly,
"T. y. JACKSON"
No word about the great battle in which
he had played so conspicuous part-no
time or inclination TO tell of those heroic
deeds which rendered famous, forever,
"Stonewall Jackson and the Stoncwall Bri-
gale"-but he could afford the time to send
to his pastor money which he had promis-
cd to the treasury of the Lord
The example of this great and good man
teaches a lesson which many would do well
TO heed.
