A Coarse Woman.

"A SV0A ~ "VHnHe
One universal outbreak of indignation
has been evoked by the useless revival of
a filthy and disgusting calumny on the
late Lord Byron, the distinguished poet.
Mrs. Stowe, the authoress of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" enjoys the special honor of
raking up and putting into print this en-
phatically nasty story. In her overween-
ing self-conceit, Mrs. Stowe has been un-
able to keep down her anxiety to show
how much the abolitionism of her "Uncle
Tom," enabled her to creep into titled So
ciety in England. Her intimacy with
even that monomaniac, Lady Byron,
(who never had anything except the celeb
rity of her dead husbands name to entit>
Ter her to public notice. she has at last
sought to demonstrate by rehashing, as
we have said, one of the coarsest of the
many ISLANDERS circulated in relation to the
lisentious life of the author of "Childe
Harold" Worse than this-although she
gives Lady Byron as her authority for
this scandal, her dates are so erroneous,
her statements in some cases so readily
shown to be false, and her excuse for
resurrecting the defunct scurility is so
flimsy, only one impression is left by her

bygones be bygones, whether true or
false, since Byron's poetry will remain

With Dyspcptics everything is wrong.
Food does not digest: sleep does not re.
fresh wine does not cheer; smiles do not
gladden.; music does not charm, nor can
any other joy enter the breast of the mis-
cradle dyspeptic. You must get rid Of it,
or it will become seated and confirmed,
and life will be a burden and existence a
curse. Plantation Bitters will do away
with all this. New life, strength and en-
ergy will take possession of you. The
damask will again bloom upon your cheek,
and the lustre in your eye will again be as
bright as in your healthiest, happicst and
most Joyous days.

THAT WONDERFUL CLiCK.--We were not
very far from st. Peters Bay, with the
shores of the Bras dor Lake on the 9TH
in a little clearing close by the edge of a
pine wood we came to a solitary hut.
Entering, we saw well-favored woman
busy at some needlework, table, with a
couple of telegraphic hammers, clock,
some writing materials, and fire, where
a pot was, no doubt, cooking little hum
bic food.
''Can we send message to Sydney p
Certainly" she replied "will you
write it there"
She took the paper, and read my earnest
request to the captain of the ship not to
sail till the next evening; and, to my
surprise, turning round, said:
''You need not be ut the trouble to send
this; the Tuscaloosa will not have finished
coaling till tomorrow night, and will
sail the next day for Newfoundland"
care you sure?' said /, with a heart
lcaping towards the good news. SLOW
could you know it?''
81 knew it because the captain tele-
graphed this morning to the senior naval
officer at Halifax, to tell him so. This is
check station on the line. and as sit Mt
work listen to the click, click, Of the
needle, and understand all it says"
Marvellous power and advance Of SCI
ence, never before to me more forcibly
illustrated! Here was woman at needle
work, in a howell in the backwoods, under
standing, by noise which might be mis-
taken for the scratching Of mouse in the
cupboard, the thoughts of men distant
hundreds Of miles from each other, the
medium Of writing, and therefore of sight,
cast utterly on one side, and that of tae
ear alone employed. Will the power oil
man over the material world ever 90 be-
yond this, annihilating distance by touch
feeling, sympathy, taste? Who would
now dare to say no?- lost Amid the Fogs.

A doctor of physic in Missouri having

his prospects of an election suddenly
blasted by the publication of the fact in the
various newspapers of his district that he
was owing each of them the sum of five
dollars. People who aspire to Office should

From a half-sheet tax-list issue, publish>
ed by Geo. D. Perkins, of Sioux City, we
clip as follows:
The McGregor Times, edited by A. p.
Richardson, Democratic candidate for
Lieut.. Governor, says in a recent issue:
eve ask for no speeches no campaign
plans. Reflection among the people is the
strength we depend upon.'
We think Mr.. Richardson is entirely on
the wrong track. 1t may be well enough
to get along without the speeches and
campaign plans, for they are expensive
and hopeless cxpedients but to rely for
Democratic strength upon the reflection of
the people, displays a weakness too great
to be trusted in official position.
Had Mr.. Perkins been at all troubled
with Truth, he would have told his read
ers that Ex>Lt. Gov. BENZ. +. Cue, of the
Fort Dodge North Vest, made the adrance
movement as to the futility of speeches.
We still insist that Reflection is the
safety of the people. We admit that our
speech making talent is very light. We
knov it, and hence do not expose our ina
bility. Be honorable, Mr.. Perkins. Your
own leader, Mr.. GuE, began this business.

Both the Brownlows, sons of the "Par>
son" were defeated in securing seats in
the Tennessee Legislature, although they
supported Sentsr, and had a majority ia
their respective disticts. This is not TO be
wondered at, however, when such candi-
dates so far forget their dignity as to
avail themselves of tho opportunity afford
ed by circus exhibition, to enter the
ring and set forth their claims to tho posi-
tons Of State Representatives. Shameful
things are sometimes done in the heat of a
political campaign, but the long haired,
hot-headed Rrowulows have capped the

A. D. Richardson has been telling the
East, through the New York Tribune
how the West beats them in comforts OF
life-particularly with regard to sleeping
cars. Says Richardson -
81 left Chicago at three P. NJ, on q
Pullman sleeping car of the Northwestern
line. What a shame it is that railway
accommodations between New York and
Washington, or New York and Boston, OF
New York and Albany. should be fifty
per cent. less comfortable or agreeable
than by any leading route in the North
west! Many Eastern managers seem to
fancy that the saving of half dollar or a
dollar reconciles the public to sleeping
cars that are abominable. Pullman ha.
always acted upon the belief that the
through passengers don't care what they
have to pay if they only get their money,
worth. The result is, that almost Q
hundred and fifty of his palace cars are
running through the West and South"

II. X. Ball's Empire Sash Lock.

Tho Patent business has been quite
over-donc in the western states and it is
not strange that new inventions are looked
upon as bogus in claims of utility and
the agents as unprinciplcd knavcs. This
is the common opinion and we arc free to
say such conclusions are frequently just.
The Patent named at the head Of this ar
ticlc is not one of the kind of which we
are writtgn. 1t is genuine good thing,
supplying want which we have all felt.
Many of these Locks have been put in
the windows at McGregor, and in every
instance entire satisfaction is expressed.
At the present pace this Lock is taking in
public demand there will be few windows
in this section without it. 1t is simple as
door button; it is not expensive; it is
burglar proof, so far as raising the sash is
concerned, and no tearing away of your
sash rails is required in attaching it. The
Agent who came here began his work by
practical exhibitions of the value of the
Lock, and our people became convinced.
Circulars will tell you its merit and the
proof Of its excellence will be demonstra-
ted on your window if permission is given.
Some words about the men who sell this
lock in Wisconsin and in Clayton Co.
Iowa may be proper. These territories
are now the property of Messrs. Isaac
Matthews and David Drummond, resi-
dents of McGregor, and for a very long
time citizens of Clayton County. We
came here in sc to reside and they had
been here many years prior to that time.
No speculation ever drew them away from
straight, toiling life Of industry. Their
words are good as oaths and under 20
circumstances would either of them mis-
represent. We mention this personal
matter because long acquaintance with
them justifcs it and because we think it
particularly important to strangers to
know with whom they are dealing. Both
,, gentlemen are mechanics; seeing that
this invention was to be a success they
have turned their attention to its introduce
ton. We feel sure that public demand
will justify their investment.

had secured the p. o. and had not got it
to running so that could leave it, and
was not sufficiently aware that public
sentiment had so changed as to require
my presence. had for several years

been SO busy in securing my appointment,
that neglected it. Had you have given
me the Office early in tho spring, as you
promised, the result would have been en-
tirely different; so you have yourself to
blame more than any one else.
You think my representation, that
the convention did not know what it was
doing, is ridiculous. So it may be, but
that was not intended for Clayton county
readers. There is not a republican in the
county, who does not know that their
action fully represented the sentiment of
the party, but the object was to convey an
idea to the people outside, that our "Ring"
was oil right. / concluded that as we
controlled the only republican papers, we
could palm off any thing we saw fit; it
was my opinion that Mr.. Eiboeck and
myself, 10y our bitter denunciation of our
principal opponents, and by system of
unscrupnloas misrepresentation could
change public sentiment, but in this /
was doomed to sad disappointment,
neither the candidates nor the members of
tie convention would scare worth d--n,
and all we did, was to create q derisive
laugh at our own expense.

ing the candidates.
