every week we hear OF some new raliroau
project concocted by the ruling minds OF the
Iowa village across the river They have
been greatly exercised over there about a
road to Maquoketa, a road to Peoria, road
to St. Paul, and are now bowling for road
to Dubuque. As far as it goes, it is all very
well to hold public meetings, and discharge
superfuous eloquence, and recommend one
another to take stock, but, to an outsider, it
looks very much like a succession of silly
farees. As soon as q new project comes up,
the old one is dropped, and never heard of
again. The Democrat thinks that ''the signs
of the times strongly indicate that Daven1
port will be a great railroad centre, proud
ing its citizens are equal to the emergency"
Judging from the enormous debt that hangs
over their heads like thunder cloud, they
"have been equal to the emergency few
times too often, and in attempting to pile, a
few more straws on the camei's back, will
break il, and occasion the complete sale of
their bankrupt city, land, houses, furniture
and all, for it seems that they are about to
be compelled to pay their debts.

DEAR SIR i hardly know if it be proper
for me upon our slight personal acquain-
lance to introduce third person TO you By
letter, but as the occasion is mainly OF bust
ness venture TO do so.
Mr. Edward Wilkins, the bearer of this, is
practical tuner of pianos, and one who I'M
derstands his profession. l am not aware
whether you have bothered yourself with IN
derstanding the philosophical temperament
of piano forte or not, whether you have read
"Cavallo"sat school, or any other philoso-
pher upon the subject. / have only to say
that Mr.. Wilkins CAN tune piano practic-
ally and philosophically, and more than that,
he can pat dllapldated piano IN order, by
repairs, 80 as TO
"-mak the aud ane maistas GUIDES the new"
speak from personal knowledge of his skill
and would, through you, and of course your
paper, recommend him to any person want
ing pianos tuned or repaired. Mr.. Wilkins
has, so far as can learn, given great salts
faction in his line of business with us, to all
who have employed him, and he has had a
large business in the seminary, and in pri-
vate houses both town and country.
am, dear sir, yours respectfully,
JOHN l.. Cow.

A shrewd speculator and Snowman
was recently in Louisiana, watching the
proceedings Of the State Convention.
Delighted by the performances, he is
on his way to Montgomery to select
specimens Of American Legislators for
exhibiting in the great cities of the I'm.
tied States. Instead Of Black Crook,
he will have sixty crook blacks in his
wonderful cast, Of the most laughable
and stupeDdsus comedy ever enacted by
combinations Of gcnious, shinbones and
stupidity. 1t is proposed to reproduce
in all the leading cities of the United
States not only speeches made, with
resolutions and ordinances adopted, but
to place before the public the very
men now engaged, under the direction
of Radical craftsmanship, in perfecting
irrcpcala bic codes. There is little diff.

with members of these State Conven-

each for thirty.two colored statesmen,
banjos for eight, and shoes for the rest,
constitute tho wardrobe OF tho match.

on franchise acts, there will be music

tion Of historic talent. Whether there
is any foundation for this story we are
not prepared to assert. 1t is certainly
true that recent historical events in the
South will suggest many emendatiobs of
performances peculiar to "ncgro min

very suddenly undertaken a new part
in the drama of life, aud if he remain
true to his instincts and modes Of

character suggested, would prove moro
