State Printer.

From the number of persons men,
toned as candidates for this office, one
would infer that its bestowment was to
be one of the important events at the
approaching session of the Iowa Legis-
lature, The Bulletin enumerates the
prominent candidates for this position
as follows:
Howell, of the cute city: Cue of the
North West: Hendrick, of the Ottum-
wa Courier; Sanders, Of the Davenport
Journal; and Russell, of the Gdzctte;'
Hildreth, of the Floyd City Intelligent
Ger: Barnes, of the Dubuque Times:
Hunter, ofthe Oskaloosa Herald; Beard
slcy, Of the Uutrkeye; AldriciI, formerly
Of the Marshall Times; keatley, of the
Nonpdreii;; and it is suggested that the
Lieutenant Governor elect would make
4 very acceptable State Printer. We
to that list Mills, of the State Register,
Logan, of the Waterloo Courier. Han
ford, OF the Ninton Eagle; and perhaps
Others.
Many able and deserving men are
without question included in this list;
but We feel like advocating the prefer
ment Of one not named therein, but
whose claims have already been advo-
Gated by number of papers. We refer
to J. NJ. Dixon, the blind editor" who
has seen long editorial service i'm the
State, aud whose ability and integrity
are beyond suspicion. The Fort Dodge
North West thus speaks in favor of Mr.
Dixon:
We second the motion most cordially,
that J. NJ. Dixon has stronger claims on
the Republicans Of Iowa for the office
Of State Printer, than any other man
named. Will not the Press of Iowa
unite in urging upon the Legislature
the election of Dixon, the blind editor,
who has written more good articles, aud
done more hard work fer Iowa interests
for less pay, than any other man We
know Of.

The Massillon Bridge.

Ell. of AGlrevtiser- Dear Sir:-As ms.
ny false reports have gone out about
said bridge, wish through the medium
of your paper to correct them aud let
the citizens Of Cedar county know the
facts in the case. And first, I would
state that the original cost Of the bridge
was S., 900, one half OF which was paid
by the county and the other half by pri.
vate subscription. In consequence Of
M ono heinr authorized to take charge
of it, and through neglect, the bolts and
screws became loose and the lateral bra
ces fell out, causing the span $50 feet)
to creel and go down. This happened
about the 1st Of August. The County
Board authorized and appointed COM
mittee a few days after, to let the con-
tract to repair said bridge. The contract
was let to Salem NJ. Town Of Rockford,
Ill.,, the bridge was finished oil but the
double planking Of the span, and accept
ed by the committee about the time the
Board met in Oct, and from some cause,
unknown to the committee, the rods
running across the span became loose
and let one section Of the lateral braces
fall out. The committee Immediately
had those braces put in and tightened.-
We then saw that heavy loaded teams
coming off the double plank on to the
single plank. which lay leugthwise Of
the span, were breaking through In
places, and to avoid expense II horse
should break leg, we closed the bridge
until the plank come. Those plank
are now on. and the bridge Is used dali
~, and is pronounced by some to be In
better condition than ever.

Gen. McPherson's last Moments.
In letter commencing T. d. Jones'
model for the Mcpherson monument,
Gen. William +. Strong, who was In
spector General of McPherson's corps,
says: How many times have seen
him on the field Of battie-at the front
check his horse sharply, and sudden
ly throw his right hand (grasping his
field-glass firmly in it, on his right hip,
and gaze offat his troops or the enemy.
with his eye half closed and piercing.
The last time I ever saw him alive-less
than ten minutes before he went down
he looked just like this. While men,
DRY lasts can never forget 1t. l was
riding on his left, and We were going at
a rapid pace. He checked his horse SO
quickly that shot by him, and wheeled
my horse about and rode back and re.
ceived his last order. l was partially
in front Of him, and watched him
keenly and closely as his eyes swept
the ridge and gap between the lines.
The expression Of McPherson's face at
this moment Mr.. Jones has caught with
wonderful accuracy. In a moment this
sharp, searching, piercing expression
was gone, and the old smile crept back
again over his face as he knocked the
ashes from his cigar, and told me to
bring up Morgan l.. Smiths division to
throw in the gap, and to join him at
once at Giles Smiths. In twenty Sec
onds more lie was on top Of the enemy's

Drunk Young man, did you ever stop
to think how terrible that word sounds p
Did you ever think what misery you
brought upon your friends, when you de-
graded your manhood by getting drunk !?
Drunk how it rings in the ear of a loving
wife How it makes the heart of a moth
er bleed How it brushes out the hopes of
a father, and brings shame and reproach
upon sisters. Drunk see him as he leans
against some friendly house. He stands
ready to fall into the jaws of hell. uncon-
scious as to his approaching fate. The
wife with aching heart, sits at the window
to hear her husbands footsteps, but they
come not ! He is drunk He is spending
the means of support for liquor. while his
family is starving for bread, his children
for clothing. Drunk His reputation is
going, gone His friends one by one are
leaving him to his fate. He goes down to
his grave 'unhonored and unsung.'

Home Life.

friends house. He did not know was in
the parlor, and I overheard his converse
ton. He was very harsh in his dealing
nth his child. He was "out of sorts"
that morning. 1.-THE wind was east" and
the east wind blew into his lungs, and in
to his soul, and soured his mind, and sour
ed his heart, and so, like base miscreant.
as he was, he vented his bad temper on
his wife and children. It is a bad habit
some men have.
This man was talking in a hard, IN
christian manner-talking as no father
should talk. He had lost his temper. He
was saying what he would be sorry for in
few moments. And then the servant an
nounced my presence. Mind you, the man
would have said he could not help it: The
boy teased me He did what cannot On
dure, and on the impulse of the moment,
I spoke my anger. I could not control
myself"
There was frown upon his face but
when I was announced, be ing more or less
of a stranger, demanding of him certain
courtesies, be at once smoothed his face as
though nothing had happened-as though
the sun was shining brightly in the
heavens, and the wind was south and not
east. He came into the room where I
was, and. in the most cordial and cour.
teous way possible, gave me his hand, and
smilingly babe me welcome.
He could not control himself, simply be-
cause he did not think enough of his boy
because he did not sufficiently appreciate
his family and because he thought his
home was den in which he could roar
with impunity, and not the great temple of
God, where he should walk as priest and
king.
And yet I, almost stranger, was strong
in my presence, to cause him at once to
cool down into courtesy, into affability, in
to politeness.
