THE Boy OF THE PERIoD.-Why boys
work in q wholesale store for three or
four years for $50, 500 and $50 per an
mum, when it is possible for them to learn
trades in which they may begin on the
last mentioned sum, is question none
but boys can answer. There are always
hundreds of lads to be had at $50 year
lin fact the market is glutted with them,
and the great attraction to them must be
the looks Of the Hashily dressed clerks who
have been in the service four or FIVE years
or more, and who look like S., 5,OO0'a-year
bloods, but who really vegstate on less
than tenth of that sum, making both
ends meet in manner known only to a
higher power than their washsrwoman.
It il q nobler ambition which makes a
good trade, and not tape-measuring, the
foundation Of future prosperity.

On Saturday, the Esd, the Earl of Derby
(Stanly) died ut his residence in London.
His place will be difficult to fill, and in
him the English Tories have lost one Of
their greatest champions. He was fully
welded to all the old-time prejudices and
traditional pride Of caste Characteristic Of
England's nobility. He was bitter op-
ponent of every measure savoring Of Justice
to Ireland, or religious liberation.
Though his loss will be felt by class, the
world will never experience it, for his
talents, fortune and position were
prcstituted to the vilest purposes of tyr
rany and oppression. English lordlings
may weep, but many poor Irish tenant,
evicted from house and home by him,
thinks of him with feelings other than
regret.

Ths,I.afekmes Kendall.

ThsLatekmss Kendall.
In Miss Martineau's "Retrospect Of
Western Travel," written in 1887, there
is the following sxceedingly vivid sketch
Of ~ lats Amos Kendall: ~
Tvs fortunate enough once to catch a
glimpss 81 the invisible Amos Kendall,
ono Of the most remarkable men in Amer'
lea. He is supposed 70 be the moving
spring of the whole administration the
thinker, planner and doer; but it is all in
the dark. Documents are issued Of an
excellence which prevents their being
attributed to persons who take the respon-
sibility of them; correspondence is kept
up all over the country for which no one
seems to be answerable; work is done, Of
goblin exten. and with goblin speed,
which makes men look about them with
supsrstitioas wonder; and the invisible
Amos Kendall has the credit of it all.
President Jackson's letters to his cabinet
are said to be Kendall's; the report on
Sunday mails is attributed to Kendall !;
the letters sent from Washington to ap-
pear in remote country newspapers,
whence they are collected and published
in the Globe as demonstrations of public
opinion, are pronounced to be written by
Kendall. Every mysterious paragraph
issopposition newspapers relates 70 Ken
DAN; and it is some relief to the amid
that his having now the oiics q Postmas.
tsr. .Geseral a6ords opportunity for open
attacks upon tlsiss twilight personsge, who
is proved, by the faults in the post office
administration, not to be able to do quite
everything well. But he is undoubtedly
q great genius. He unites with his great
talent for silence splendid audacity.
It is clear that he could not do the work
he does incredible enough in amount,
any way) if he went into society like other
men. He did, however, one evening I
think it was at the Attorney Generals.
The moment went in, intimations reach
ed me from all quarters, amid mods and
winks, Kendall is here; that is he!' l
saw at once that his plea for seclusion
tbad healthy is no false one. The extreme
sallowness of his complexion, and hair Of
such perfect whiteness as is rarely seen in
man Of middle age, testified to disease.
His countenance does not help the super
stitious to throw off their dread of him.
He probably does not desire this supersti-
tion to melt away, for there is no calculs.
ting how much influence was given to
Jackson's administration by the universal
belief that there was concealed eye and
hand behind the machinery Of government
by which everything could be foreseen,
and the hardest deeds done. A member
of Congress told me this night that he had
watched through four sessions for sight
of Kendall, and had never obtained it till
now. Kendall was leaning on q chair,
with head bent down and eye glancing up
at member of Congress with whom he
was in earnest conversation, and in a few

Hon. G. Parsons, and Mr.. Benjamin F..
Cue, editor of the Iowa Northwest, pub
lshed at Fort Dodge, Iowa, have been ap-
pointed committee to confer with the peo-
Pile of Minnesota on the subject Of the
projection of railroad from Fort Dodge,
Iowa, to intersect some Minnesota road
for the purpose of more directly reaching
the lumber of the State, and in return
supplying us with coal. These gentlemen
say that $4,000 acres of coal are found
about ten miles from Fort Dsdge, the beds
varying from seven to eight feet in thick>
ness, and that with direct line of rail-
road from that point, coal can be furnished
at Austin for FIVE dollars per ton. This
road is of great Importance to the people
of that portion Of Iowa, and will be push
ed forward with energy. A railroad
traversing such an extent of land with
such agricultural resources for railroad
transportation as the proposed line from
Fort Dodge to the Minnesota State line
cannot fail Of doing an immense business

A curious suit is about to be tried be-
fore Memphis justice of the peace. A
white man has young bull pup. The
pup bit barefooted negro in the heel as
he was passing. The negro jumped, and
two Of the pups teeth were thereby ex-
tracted. The negro sues the white man
for allowing the vicious dog to run at
large. The white man files cross>cut
saw bill, and sues the negro for having a
heel tough enough to draw dogs teeth.

The Profit ON Iowa Wheat.


A few days since we published the ac>
tual quotations of wheat throughout Iowa,
showing that so cents per bushel was the
avesaee price that the farmer now obtains,
though the real fact 10 that q large prcpor,
ton Of tho wheat now selling does not
bring that price. What do the farmers Of
Iowa think this same wheat is now selling
for in New York? Our market quotations,
published each day, show that it brings
from 81 .25 to $l.28. That is, somebody
makes IS cents per bushel out Of the pro-
ducts of our Iowa farmers. And who is
it that thus profits SO largely out of their
sweat and toll? The railroad and trans
portation companies. 1t does not cost for
carrying, storage and elevating more than
20 cents per bushel to set down bushel
Of Iowa wheat in the New York market.
But to be liberal, call the actual expense
25 cents per bushel, and we thus see that
a clear profit of so cents rer bushe!. the
original cost here in Iowa, is made by
somebody, and that somebody is the rail-
road and transportation companies.
Now, we contend that this so cents
profit should 20 into the pocket of the
farmer, and not into the pock ct of the
middleman.
We contend that if things were as they
should be, wheat to-day would be worth
