FOURTH OF July IN TAMA.-No such
holiday was known to us. The Odd
Fellows celebrated at Tama City on
the Third, with Rev. Mr.. Percival of
Marshalltown, Orator, and Jas. Will
klnson of Columbia township reading
the Declaration Of Independence. The
Odd Fellows Grafton was delivered
by the Grand Master of Iowa.
The people turned out IN large
numbers and made the celebration an
interesting one. Each person pro.
vided his or her own dinner.
Buckingham celebrated, also, ON the
Third, with Rev. A. Cordner, Of Tama
City, Orator; and, we believe, Swan
Lake Sunday School, of Oneida town.
ship, had exercises on the Third.
Oxford postponed the outpouring Of
her annual enthusiasm until the Fifth.
II. q. Henderson, of Marshalltown, was
the Orator. We learn that the people
there had an interesting time, despite
the attempt, toward evening, of many
OF the railroad hands, to interrupt the
proceedings.
In Toledo, all was as quiet and scdate
as funeral cortege. On Saturday all
that broke the solemnities Of the day,
were the noisy rattle, early and late,
of wagons, filled with celebrationists;
the appropriate discharges of artillery,
and the incessant, multitudinous snap
OF the juvenile tusilades, which, with
youthful vehemence, were hurled be.
fore or beneath carriage, horse and hu-
man. This refers only to Saturday
On Monday the Germans paradcd the
streets, with waving banner, prancing
steeds and martial music closing up the
days devotions with Terpsichorean
Sociable.

THE RAIL RoAD is still the subject
Of conversation. "Whenever two or
three are gathered together" there it is
in the midst of them. This is as it
should be. The people Of Toledo have
done wonderfully well, much better
than even those who knew them best
hardly dared hope. Already they
have shown their generosity, on more
than one occasion heretofore. For the
Northwestern rail road they gave four
teen thousand dollars, for the Iowa
Central twenty five thousand, for the
Court House twenty thousand and for
its Plug road upwards of twenty
thousand mora total Of nearly
eighty thousand dollars. If this does
not speak we'll for Toledo We do not
know what its people could do to de-
serve respect.
In regard to the new rail road, the
prolific theme of discussion, but little
need be sald-in fact but little can be
said just now. We understand that
the Northwestern Co. already look
upon this project with favor, and are
disposed to aid by all means practical
BILE, and have sent one of their best
men, who will be here in day or two
and who will look over the matter and
report.

Some of our German friends parad-

with music floating and Star Spangled
Banner waving, preparatory to the
Dance at Meizner's Saloon, in the even

mounted, Meizner carrying the flag.
In turning the corner, opposite the
Foster House, his horse became too
risky to be easily managed by its
rider who was charged with a full force
OF patriotic ardor. 1t resulted in the
involuntary "dismount" of Mr. Meiz,

OF his elbow. Nothing serious, how.

PARKER PILLsBURY ON REcoNsruc-
rIoN.-Mr. Parker Pillsbury writes a.
review in Tho New York Reyolution, Of
"The South rs it ISL I'M which he saws:
II think tho North knows less of
the actual South today, than of al
most any other portion of the globe.
Rcpublicanism bears rule there, and
reports itsell to please itself: Coun-
ter-authoritics, especially from Demo-
cratic sources, are east aside as unwor-
thy Of confidence, as no doubt, they
often are. But it is time one thing
was told, and believed, too, every
where, and that is, that reconstruction
so far is a failure. It is bad failure.
From the sole Of its foot to its head, if
it have any head, there is no sound
ness in it, none whatever. It began
whcro it should have left of, with po-
litical organizations, with suffrage and
sovereignty; when the first lessons in
civilization had not been learned, had
not been taught, and have not yet been
taught. But party supremacy required
the measure, and it was adopted, against
all The dictates of genuine craftsmanship,
as we'll as the demands Of justice and hu-
manity. Aud hence its failure, as could
not but have been expected"

Women as Farmers.

Seven sisters, about sixty miles
from st. Paul, Minnesota, have been
proving what women can do as tillers
of the soil. Two years ago last April
they secured there two homcstcads of
eighty acres each, under the Home
stead Law, and have since cleared
forty acres. OF their crop of last
year, besides what was consumed in
the family, they sold nino hundred
bushels of potatoes, five hundred
bushels of corn, two hundred and
fifty bushels Of turnips, two hundred
bushels Of bccts, 100 heads cabbage,
and over 5000 worth of garden stuff.
The potatoes they sold for fifty cents
per bushcl.
All the work on this farm, the clear.
ing and grubbing the land, tho fenc-
ing. sowing, planting, cultivating, and
harvesting, and taking caro- of tho
stock and all other work, excepting
splitting the rails and breaking and
plowing the land, was performed by
these sisters alone.
They arc natives cf Ohio, whence
they cmigratcd to that State thrco
years ago, and to that farm, then wild
land, in April 1867. The family con-
sisted of seven sisters, the youngest
aged fifteen, the eldest about twenty
five, their mother, and their father, an
invalid. Their dwelling house, a COM
modious log building, which the
ncighbors helped them to build, and
all its surroundings, bctokcn the in
dustry, thrift, ncatncss, and tasto Of
the occupants.
In the course Of conversation on tho
management Of their farm, the moth
cr, finc-loolSing old lady, remarked
-"Tho girls are not proud of tho
hard work they have had to do to get
the farm started, but they are not as
hamed Of it. We were too poor to
keep together and 1.-Two in town. We
could not mako q living there but
here We havo become comfortable and
independent. We tried to give the
girls good education. They all read
and write, and fnd time to read books

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

SToRING PoTAToEs.--Cellars or root :
houses are generally as good places IA one
can get for storing away potatoes, if they
are frost proof, aud can be well ventilated
Put the potatoes in large boxes-empty
dry goods cases arc best, holding from fif-
teen to fifty bushels eacll-or divide the
space into bins like those of granary, so
that each kind can be kept separate, and
no great amount Of heating can take place
where there is space for ventilation. A
board floor is better tEan bare earrl,.
Choice kinds it will pay to sort over in the
field, barrel the best for sale and delivery
as required, and keep The Others for seed.
When frost-proof room ina building can
not bo had, select piece Of dry soil, whcro
water will readily flow off, or can be drain
ed away. Store the potatoes in small
round heaps, Of il(ty each, set IN rows, each
to be covered first with reversed sods or a
very little clean dry straw, and then with
earth, putting on a little al first but few
inches, and adding more as the weather
gets colder, till hard freezing takes place.
About two feet Of earth will keep out frost.
~ good ditch is to be made round tie lot
ot heaps, so as to carry off quickly all
water that may fall. The heaps when COW
cred should be somewhat cone-slaped, with
sides high aud slcping enough to carry of
rain quickly. The main point in storing
potatoes is 10 have them put away dry
and in such manner as will keep out
moisture, and at tho same time run little
risk Of the whole ro'ting, should rot Sc, in
at any point, or with any kind, some being
more liable TO rot than Others Canada
