Ssw HAaPsiiiRE.-The Chicago Times
comes down almost gracefully after lis re-
peated boasts and claims of great Demo-
cratic victory in New Hampshire.
Here is wha, the Timeshas TO say after the
election:
'The people in New Hampshire voted
yesterday for Governor and members Of the
State i.eelssatuse. The campaign has been
conducted with much energy ON the part OF
bolh the gfeat political parties, and greater
interest u perhaps felt in ihs result ,Ior the

REaIsrRY Law.

At the Meeting ofthe Grant Club Thursday
evening, motion Of B. S. Merriam, request
ing the Iowa Legislature to pass Registry
law, was unanimously adopted. There Is
bill now before the General Assembly. We
are not fully advised as to its provisions.
There has been considerable debate rs to one
of it's proposed features-,hat disiranchising
draft skedaddlers and rebels. Now, we don
care anything about that. There is difhcnisy
found in legislative experience to frame
right Registry law. The matter would seem
simple enough, The gist Of it all is to pre-
serve the purity of election; to make the bal
lot effective, and insure the honest verdict OF
fair suffrage. What Registry law is tor
is not hospresent from voting the person Who
is entitled 10 vote, but to prevent the person
who isn't. 1t mustn't be trick and dodge;
it mustn't be one-sided and partizan; 1t
mustn't be framed fer the purpose OF only
keeping Illegal votes from Your opponents,
while YOU may get all the Illegal votes you
can on your own side. 1t must be a twc-
edged sword and pierce both ways. Wewant
every man to vote who has q right to vote.
1t is strange that any state or community
should ever undertake to do without Reg
:stry law. The only security OF the ballot is
the absence OF fraud. Mix fraud with it, and
you have defeated The popular will; ycn
have appointed demaeosuery and trickers &c
rule over you; you have made popular gov
z.T a.
and unendurabie misgovernment-ihe mis-
government of factions knayes and perjureri
who rule in the name Of democracy and b,
prostitnting suffrage.
No man who doesn't want to see self gov
ernment prove'a failure, should be ndifieren
20 maintaining honest elections If the qual
fled electors, instead of '';he people, rule
We insist that il shall be the qualified elector
that vote, and that no elector shall vote NOR
than once.
If the proposed DISTINGUISHING clause vii
endanger the constitutlonalty OF the law
throw that clause out. We are on principi,
opposed TO restricting the suffrage. W.
don't believe in DISTINGUISHING. There are
however, naturalization laws, and regulation
as to domicile, aud other qualifications
suarked in existing laws as defining and lin
siing suffrage. We want q Registry law to as
sist in The enforcement Of these laws. w
don't want il to disfraachise any who rightful
vote we want it to prevent any but citizen
from voting. Such law We hope the Legia
aature will pass before it adiourns.

An Episode in the History of Gen
eral Butler.
from the Detroit Union. May5.l

From the Detroit Union, May5l
When in New Orleans Butler was
passing, at the head of some troops, the
residence of very respectable young
lady, who, with some lady friends, were
enjoying the cool air of balcony
This young lady, whose name we omit
for reason that will soon appear, was
one of those impulsive, light hearted,
joyous creatures, whose life is made up
of smiles and more demonstrative out
bursts of joy. Just as Butler himself
was opposite, some remark was made
or something visible to the eye of a
mirth-provoking character, caused her to
break out in a ringing laugh. Butler
stopped short his horse, and looking up
said, in his rough and repulsive style :
"What are you laughing at 2" Sur
prised at the question, and insulted by
the manner in which it was asked, the
young lady instantly ceased her laugh,
9 but made no response. Butler turned
away, but had proceeded but short
distance, when the same clear, ringing
laugh again met his ear, and turning
again, with stillmore brutalinsolence, de-
manded young woman. what are you
laughing at2'' There was no mistaking
his meaning this time, and the hot
blood of the sunny South flushed to the
cheek of the maiden as she scornfully re-
piled, "None of your business, sir" But
Ter, with a threatening gesture, but with
out reply, rode away. An hour or two
after this a file of soldiers appeared at
the residence of the young lady with an
order for her arrest. She was torn from
the bosom of her family, taken to the
military prison or guard house, and there
kept confined until the men in whose
society she was thrown either as keep
ers or fellow prisoners, accomplished her
ruin.
These facts can be substantiated by
parties now residing at Kendall, Orleans
county, N. Y, or by DR.. McLane or wife,
and others of New Orleaus, the latter
having witnessed the transaction stated
above, from the opposite side of the
street ....a.

How we ID. ess our ChiIdren.

When the baby is five or six months
old, we shorten its clothes in the skirt,
leaving its legs partially bare, as well
as its bosom and arms. True, we put
on shoes and stockings, but the legs and
lower part of the body are exposed.
This is not SO very bad in warm weather,
but even in "dog days" there often
come rainy, chilly days, when we really
feel uncomfortable without fire, espe-
cially if we have not made change in
our dress to suit the change in the
weather. But who thinks of the baby
being cold? To be sure its arms are
blue or spotted, but then it is not cold.
"Babies are so warm -blooded, and
their circulation so much more rapid
than ours" heard mother say, "that
they do not feel the cold as we do"
You think they don't feel the cold !
Just wait day or two, after such ex.
posure, and the baby will have diar-
rhea, which you will doubtless attribute
to teething, but tell you it is caused
by exposure to cold, and l have robed
more than one of these little ones for
their coffin sleep, whose death was caused

Ronner of the New York Ledger
Advertising.

Referring tothe recent removal of the
New York Ledger office, by Mr.. Bonner,
to the marble palace just built for it, the
NeD York Herald says:
Occupying in many respects the po-
sition of pioneer in periodical litera-
ture, the New York Ledger was de-
veloped out of af old commercial
paper of similar name, which was
bought by Mr.. Bonner in 1851
the buyer having served his appren-
ticeship as practical proof reader with
Morris g. Willis, of the EUening MIR
ror, and as practical printer in the
office of the Hartford Courant. The
New York Ledger, as a literary period
ical. was begun in 1854, with Fanny
Fern as the star writer. and about that
time was begun that system of extern
sive advertising which has given the
paper (conjoined to sterling merit) the
widest celebrity ever gained by any
American weekly, and probably the
largest subscription list. The Ledger's
bills for advertising have often run as high
as $25, 1000 per week, land on one occasion,
posters included, the bills were $4,000.
This was in connection with Mrs. South
worth's "Island Princess" The first
quadruple sheet ever printed by any
daily paper in New York, was printed by
the Herald in 1858, and was occasioned
by demand on the part of Mr.. Bonner
for space equal to the usual double
sheet, or eight Herald pages, for adver-
tisinn nurnosos-which was DrOha hlv
the largest single advertisement ever in
serted in New York daily.
"The press-room of the Ledger build
ing is the finest for its purpose ever con-
structed in this city. 1t is furnished
with eight drum cylinder presses-four
of Hoes and fonr of Taylor's-and an
Andrews engine. A huge Harrison
boiler, leviathan-like, has crawled away.
under the sidewalk, into sort of ex-
cavated grotto; and these, with minor de-
tails, complete the furnishings of the
pressroom.'

What You May and May Not Call
a Man. .-.-s

There is more or less of the animal
about man; that no body will deny.
Plato's definition of man was: can an
imal without feathers, walking on two
legs" This was too much for Diogenes,
who caught an old rooster, plucked it,
took it into school, and scornfully asked
"if that was Plato's man2 p We don't
know how Plato got out of it, and don't
care, as this has but little to do with the
matter in hand. Though an animal
man does not like to be called beast
yet there are many known as "bulls"
and "bears" and accept these appella-
tions as rightly bestowed and properly
belonging to them, though individually,
in another sense, they would object to
being called bears. There are many
who would like to be known as "lions,"
and even tiger would be considered more
complimentary than calf. Many a
young fellow would like to be regarded
as "buck," and you may call man
"dear fellow" don't think of calling him
a mouse. To be called "duck of
man" would please many an individual
who would take it to heart if called
goose. independent of the misnomer.
Call man puppy and he'll resent
it; but call him ''sly dog" and you'll
rather please him. Don't call man a
hog, even if he is bore, nor an elephant
if he happens to be "heavy weight;"
but you may call him a''fox" or a"coon"
with impunity. A man doesn't like to
be called shark, but you may call him
"queer fish" without ofense. Never
call cross-eyed man lynx-eyed-he'll II
think you are Sarcastic Call man
jackass, and he'll "talk back )" but
you may call him an .old rat" and
it is ten to one he'll ask you to
"take suthin." A man who wouldn't
feel complimented at being called a cor
morant, would smile at being called a
"night owl" Don't offend by calling a
man gosling, but you may call him a
"gay rooster" without offense. Don't
call man fool; call him a clever fel-
low, which amounts to the same thing,
but sounds prettier. A man would be
well pleased to know that you said he
was keen as a razor, yet would object to
being called sharper" To call maa
stone would be considered rejecting on
his intellectual powers, but you may call
him "brick" to his great satisfaction.

by insufficient clothing during cold rain
in midsummer; and ] have cured more
than one by merely putting on a flannel
skirt, flannel band around the abdo-
men, and woolen stockings. ssas oa z
The baby was born in February so,
in year from that time, if it be strong,
it will be e-walking, and it will wear me-
rino dresses, made very short in the
skirt, and low necks and short sleeves
an apron may be added, butthere are no
sleeves in it. And thus is the little one
dressed until the following summer,
when we put on a pair Of cambria draw
ers. lH ftab
Well say the baby is a girl, and so
she is dressed in about the same style
for a goodly number of years. We will
presume she has lived, in spite of every
thing with which she has had to con-
tend, until she is ten years old. 1t is
now winter, and she goes to school, and
we will examine her dress little, be-
ginning with her feet. Fancy balmoral
boots; cotton hose, held up by tight
elastic band; cotton drawers, reaching a
little below the knee, when standing, but
slipping above it upon sitting down;
cambria chemise; sometimes, but not al
ways, an under skirt of cotton, or even
flannel; set of hoops; some kind of a
petticoal outside of these, and worsted
dress of some sort. Let us see the fashion
of these garments. How are they made
Dress, high in the neck; good. Long
sleeves good. Not lined bad. No
other waist except the dress waist; bad.
Hoops and petticoat hung upon the hips !;
bad. Outside garments woolen sacque
or shawl, mittens or gloves and scarf
or furs; pretty good. Hat, with no ties
or ear-lappets, to protect the ears or
throat from bitter winds bad, very bad.
How, in the name of common sense,
can we expect girl to grow up strong,
healthy, vigorous creature, under such
treatment as this! The wonder is that
she lives at all Western Rural.
