CAMERON RA1LRoAD.-Judge Allor,
President of the Ottumwa and Cam
eron Railroad, is posted TO speak in
behalf of his road in several places
in this county the coming week
The times and places will be found
elsewhere IN this paper. There is no
doubt that we can get this road if
We will 60 to work and raise the
amount allotted to this county,
which we can easily do if we only
put Our shoulders to the wheel. The
proposition offered by the company
is all we can ask, as our subscriptions
will not be due until the road is com.
pleted and the cars are running to
the center of the county. The PEG.
pie on the other route, as We are in.
formed by letter received by Mr..
Clark from Judge Tannehill, are doing
all they can to raise stock. In Davis
county, speakers are canvassing the
eutire county and will not leave
anything undone to secure the road.
There is a considerable balance due
from this county, and if we raise the
amount every man must give liberal
~ of his means. We cannot afford
ia loose this road. Let the meetings
of Judge Aller be we'll attended,
and thus show the company that we
mean CenterUille LOYAL

The Hon. David Mcdonald, Judge
of the United States District Court
for the District of Indiana, died at
Indianapolis yesterday, August 25.-
Judge Mcdonald for many years oc-
cupied the chair of the Law Professor
ship at the State University. He was
also Judge of the Tenth Judicial Cir
cult. About twelve years ago he
gave to the press a Treatise on the
rules of practice before justices of the
peace, which embraced also chapters
on the more important branches of
law in general practice, the plan of
the work being confessedly similar to
that of Judge Swans Treatise for
similar practical use in Ohio. The
volume was, we believe, highly sue
cesstul, but has now been superseded
by a later work. Judge Mcdonald
was tho third appointee of Presiden:
Lincoln to the u nited States District
Judgeship OF Indiana, the first having
been the Hon. Albert s. White, of
Lafayette, thirty years ago United
States Senator, long afterward Rep
resentative in Congress-; and the sec
ond, the Hon. Caleb B. Smith, for
some time during Mr.. Lincoln's ad-
ministration Secretary of the Interi-
or. Judge Mcdonald was very high
ly respected by all parties in Indi-
ana. He was an excellent lawyer
and an upright judge. We believe
no was no relation to the Hon. Jo-
seph E. Mcdonald, formerly Attorney
General of Indiana, and candidate for
Governor against Mr., Morton, now
Senator, in 1864. At the time of his
death Judge Mcdonald was about s.
years of age.

in his condition and remarked that

past o'clock, he asked some one to-
raise him, when DR.. Bliss adjusted al
pillow under his back, while DIR. Pet

became fixed and without a shrugged
died at twelve minutes past Q, clock.
During the day the Secretary ext
pressed strong desire to see Gen.

There is poison and death in its bright rosy light
In its depths, temptation and sin.

While she calls thee to drink of that bowl
Oh turn from that bower of pleasure thy feet
Ere yet she hath power Ger thy soul
Tho bright as the amber the drops she distilled,
And fragrant the taste on the lip;
Yet, oh its bright depths is with misery flIed
Ensaving the soul that may sip
Then turn, oh turn, dear youth, from the wine
And let thy hand never contain
The goblet, from whose rosy depl hs shine

She delights but in shipwrecks upon the wild sea-
Or on harpies devouring the soul.

Lurking beneath every charm!

To the Editor Of the woRKIHeNAN's Advocate.
The price Of coal Is very unsettled. The
dealers here say they cannot maze contracts
to furnish coal abroad, on account Of the
action Of the late Miners Convention at
Hazleton. They say; If we make con-
tract to deliver . certain quantity at given
time, we will, most probably, be losers by II,
as the miners have resolved to 60 on strike"
This action Of the miners may have the good
effect Of driving these middle-men into some
! honest calling, so that they will not make
fortunes by Fleeing both producer and con-
sumner Let dealers abroad make their con-
tracts direct with the operators, aud, my
word for It, both producer and consumer viii

that there was such large stock on hand in
this city, that there was no sale, except a. q

down in proportion. But, no sooner do the
miners resolve that, as there was such .
large stock, they would cease work for .

stock rapidly diminish, ard the middle-men

The German secretary read a report on
the condition of the coal miners in the king
dom OF Saxony. Their wages vary from s..
10 los. Sd. a week, for twelve hours labor
a day boys from A. to 81. week Each
colliery has benefit club, to which the men
are compelled to subscribe, but they have
20 voice IN the administration Of the funds.
the funds are the lawful property OF the coal
owners, and the benefits are, without ex-
ception, dispensed BY the head managers 81
the collieries. Sick, relief, and superannua-
ton allowances rise in proportion to length
OF service, but any one leaving his employ
ment, no matter for what reason, loses all
claims UPON the fund THUS a man may
have contributed 10 the fund for 30 or 40
years without receiving a farthing ia his old
age.
An agitation among the miners for better
terms has led to the publication of draft Of
rules for a united club for ali the Saxon col
lieries. The draft is the work of a commit
tee Of GOLFERS, presided over BY Mr.. t. q.
Dinter. The chief distinctive features are /:

and continue to pay their contributions.

4. Masters contributions to be equal to
one-half of those Of the men.
This draft, which does not represent .he
views OF tha most intelligent golfers, but
rather Of a section. which would fam carry
out reforms with the consent Of the mas ers,
carries on its face the stamp Of impractical
bility. Il is really too ndirs to suppose that
the masters, who row have complete con-
troll Of the clubs, will consent to hani the
whole management over to a democratic
general meeting of workingmen, ard yet
continue paying their contributions. To
open the eyes Of such Of the colIiefes as may
still believe in he possibility Of reforming
the clubs upon the basis Of joint cOntribu-
tons Of masters and men, an indignant re-
fusal on the part Of the masters will be the
best means.
