With grand flourish of the pen,
now amightier th n the sword,
President Grant set aside the law aud
the opinions of several Attorney
Generals, in. promulgating a decree
that for eight hours work men work
ing by the day for the Government
should be entitled to receive the usual
wages for ten hours work. A store
of capital was supposed to be made
for a military President by this flank
movement on the law and its ex-
Founders. But the practical operation
of the order turns out to be a mock
ing humbug. The New York Sun
says .s s.s5lf&s.l5
"The Workmen. ut the Brooklyn
/ Navy Yard, of whom about $500
are now employed there, are almost
in state of mutiny at the outrages
perpetrated upon them by the Navy
Department. si!3 -
J. On the 28th of April the Secretary
of the Navy ordered that the meI
should be in attendance ut z :45, when
the bell rings, and answer to theil
names at 7:50, and by the last stroke
of the bell, at s o'clock, be at tht
place of duty, oYeralls on, tools il
hand, ready to go to work. - f.l
Es; This process was repeated at II 40
and at the close of the hours of labol
they had to repair to the stations o
their several quartermen, and agail
answer to their names. by thil
means while noninally working eigh
hours day, they were really engages
on duty nearly eight hours and three
!, quarters. "a - - =. ..s. -.

GRAIE SHIPMENTS 10 DUBUQuE--
Arrangements having been effected
with the Dubuque Elevator for hand
ling and storing of grain, the firm OF
NJ. w. Briggs il 20. announce by
circular that fer the. present shippers
can store there,WitIiout charge, 60
days.. The same is in Chicago, ! cent
per bushel for every ten days there
after or parts thereof.
Large orders for the Southern mar
ket for purchase and shipment as
soon as navigation will permit are
received by them. The shipment OF
grain by river is occupying large
share of the attention of grain deal
ers, and it is only reasonable to be-
lieve' that much of the grain of
Northern Iowa viii find its way to a
foreign market Via the Mississippi
during the coming spring and sum-
mer months. 1t is very evident that
Dubuque Is the best market for the
grain dealers Of the Cedar Valley
with the facilities of shipping by riy-
CIR. In an excited market, time is
money to the shipper, and in ship
ping to Chicago from ten to twelve
days are consumed in getting returns,
while If shipped. TO Dubuque, three
to four days is ample time for sale
and return. ...,

b. L. TAYLoR.--Our fourth and
last lecture under the auspices of the
Lecture Association, which ID to be
delivered next Monday evening, at
the Presbyterian Church, promises
to be the most brilliant and popular
OF the course. We have never had
the pleasure of hearing Mr.. Taylor,
but his reputation as speaker and
the high compliments of the press
assure us that none will go away
from his lecture disappointed.
In Iowa City his lecture last win
ter was regarded as the gem of the
course. The RepubEican says it was
musical, charming and eloquent"
The Keokuk cate CITY, one of the
leading papers in the State, says
"Taylor is something choicely ex-
ceptional aud rare. His lecture is

THAT BRIDGE.-The bridge which
was built last summer across the
north fork of the Blackhawk, some
ten miles southwest of town, stands
idle because of the delay In building
the approaches. These should have
been made six months since and we
hope the farmers in Ss-15 will see to
it at once, as we understand it belongs
to them to put the bridge in condi-
ton for crossing. If possible, it
should be done now, so as to give a
crossing during the spring months,
when it is so much needed. The
committee appointed to attend to
the building Of the bridge seem not
to have made the necessary arrange
ments for the building of the ap-
proaches. 1t is only piece of folly
as it now stands.

Russell, who for the past year and a

of i'll health, to withdraw from his
charge for time. He removes to
his farm near Manchester this week,

ministerial life will speedily restore
his physical frame. We hope soon

mersion of the wicked In the flames

the wicked In the text. On the other
aiand, the promise Of the baptism of

The new version contains an un-
tra;h where IL says, MARK 7: A. the

sees were, there Is not,the least parti.
Gle of evidences that they. at any
period, practiced immersion on all
occasions when they returned from
the market before taking their meals.
They put water on part of their
bodies, and In this manner were
baptized, but not immersed.
Again, the new version says !:

yelled that he tJesus, had not first
Immersed himself before dinner"
From this circumstance it is APP

crashed a part of their bodies before

A CoUNTERFEITER ARRESTED
Two detectives arrived i'm this city
last week, i'm search of Asa South
well and a companion of his by the
name OF Day. The charge against
them was passing counterfeit money
upon which they had been indicted
some months since in Detroit, aud
afterwards escaped. They both came
to Cedar Falls about four months ago
and Southwell settled here with his
family. Day has not been heard
from for some time and from all the
information that can be obtained re-
garding him, he is supposed to be
dead.
About 10 o'clock last Friday night,
the two detectives, assisted by, our
City Marshal, Wallace, arrested
Southwell at his home. Search was
at one made and two hundred and
ten dollars in counterfeit money, in
two's and tens, were found in the
possession of bis wife. The detec-
tives started with their prisoner on
Saturday morning for Detroit. He
leaves behind him a wife and three
children, with flattering prospect
of an increase in the family ere many
days. -
They took the arrest with perfect
GOODNESS, neither being in the least
disturbed by the proceedings. What
is to become of his wife and children
we are unable to divine, as we learn
that she has no friends and no mon
ey. They should not be allowed to
suffer.

DONATION TO Rev. II. w. KEE.

Gus acknowledgements, as they mny
justly be termed, of their apprecia-
citation of his valuable services
I'm the work of labor and love in this
community.
To add to the enjoyment of the oc.
casion Messrs. Cecil and Charles Kee.
Ter furnished some very fine instru.
mental aud vocal music. In addi-
ton to liberal purse presented in a
neat speech by j. j. Tolerton, we
noticed a very handsome suit OF
clothes donated by the. young men OF
the congregation. The amount
reached in the aggregate $500.
Mr.. Keller although comparative
ly stranger in Cedar Falls, fias
drawn around him hosts of warm
and adn1iring friends. His scholarly
attainments and well known ability
as speaker have gathered into his

PHILHARMONIC CoNCERT.-The
concert given by the Philharmonic
Society of this city last evening, at
| Universalist Hall, was n musical
treat, in the broadestand truest sense
of that term and the host entertain
ment of the kind which has been
given in our city for years. We were
Euuprepared to Witness so rare an ex-
hibition of home talent, although
we had predicted that it only, requir-
ed the practice and drill to develop
among our home singers chorus of
voices that would excel in harmony
and sweet music the best trained or
chestras Of the eastern cities. The
chorus consisted of some seventy vol
ces, the members of the Society, and
the perfect chord with which every
part was performed, gave evidence oil
thorough drill aad-yerys encouraging
progress. The efficient leader, Prof.
Bum, aud the. Society have reason
to be proud Of the rapid and thorough
advancement which they are MAX
ing. The audience were highly en-
tertainsd with the several parts, vo.
cal and instrumental. We regret,
that.word don't express it, we are
ashamed that so few Of our citizens
were present. The cold weather may
have had something TO do in keeping
the people at home, but past expert
ence warrants us in saying that had
1t been one horse entertainment of
some travelling troupe, the mall would
have been crowded. Our people have
cultivated such q maria for foreign
talent that home eEFts are looked
upon Of late with little less than con-
tempt. The very small audience last
night seemed 10 indicate it, at least.
Empty seats may be inspiring, but
we are certain that they are not very
profitable without an audience to occu-
Ply them. We would be pleased to have
the concert repeated, but the encour-
agement given last evening will, we
fear, not stimulate the Society to any
great efforts in future. 1t is certainly
to be regretted that so few of our cit
liens show their appreciation of the
work Of our Philharmonic Society.
