The Iowa plain dealer. [volume] (New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa) 1867-1895, 1869-06-04

Some women cannot 60 beyond
the individual, and the loss of one
oftheir own by inisadvcnture, weighs
more with them than the necessity
of keeping up the courage and har-
dihood of thcpation. Nor do they
see the difference between care and
coddlin,., refinement, and efemina-
cy; consequently. the husbands of
such women are obliged to resist
their influence, and cut tho apron
string altogether, because delicate
fingers tie the knots too tight. They
do not RENE mber that the influence
to which men yield as voluntary
act of their own grace is q very diff
fereht thing from obedience to the
open denial, the disguised inter-
ference and restraint, which some
women like to show. Men do not
like being pulled up short, especial
ly in public, and bounded into the
safe shoepfold. And they resent
the endeavor. i And the word re-
sents it too, and feels that some
thing is wrong when a woman shows
that she has the whip hand, and
that she can treat her husband like
petted child, or bully him like
refractory one-that she has him
tied TO her apron strings, and,teth-
cred him to the stake at her will.
But there is more of this kind Of
thipgin. familicssthan the vo1ldat
large knows Of {; and many a fine,
stalwart fellow, who holds his own
among men, and is looked up to and
respected for his courage, decision,
and self-reliance, sinks in mere
poodledom at home, where his wife
has somehow managed to get hold
of the leading strings. and has
taught him that the only way to
peace is by submission and obedi,
ence.

Mark Twain says: A singular
practice has been Introduction the
Pacific Railroad-that of ringing a
bell at the conclusion instead Of the
comm encement of a repast.a As the
hotels are unprovided with bells.
those on the locomotive engines are
made to answer the purpose. There
was q sis n-cn the tavern door, which
read, "Barc Stake and Dear Meet
for Dinnef." I swallowed D "bare
stake paint foremost, aadr have
been as stiff and as straight. AS a
lightning rod ever since. I had no
time for the "dear meet" though

der. The engine uttered a war
whoop. and we, plunged into the
mountains, found ourselves surround
ed on all sides by craggy peaks, i'm
penetrable ravines, untutored sava-
ges, and beasts Of prey. There is .
vast difference between American
wildernesses aud an African wilder
ness. besides the mere consideration
of geographical miles. In one you
are eoatinnally surrounded by black
bears; in the other by bare blacks.
Tho woods and mountains and hol-
lows were lined with Indians. They
must have been, for there were none
visible on the outside. ~, !.

For School purposes alone, the town
of River Falls has raised, during the
past year, nearly six thousand dollars.
For impairing roads and bridges, aside
from a six mill highway tax, we have
raised and expended nearly one thousand
dollars. To meet state, county, county
school tax, and Superintendent's salary,
we have raised nearly two thousand dol
lars, and for incidental expenses about
one thousand dollars. Of this amount
the town treasurer has returned, not col
lected, only triie over one thousand
dollars. There is money enough in his
hands, to pay off all outstanding claims.
Including highway taxes we have
raised over two and half per cent or
the taxable property of the town. This
is heavy per centage, and though it has
been paid promptly and cheerfuIy, we
hops, at least, to avoid its recurrence.
We can scarcely expect to maintain good
schools with less than an average of one
per cent, and all the other taxes combined
should not excuse this.
