Education o1the Agriculturist

No man is SO high as to be indie
pendent of the success OF this great
interest; no man is SO low not to be
affected by its prosperity or decline.
The cultivation of tho earth is the
most important labor of man. Man
may be civilized, in some degree,
without great progress in manufactu-
res, and with little commerce with
his distant neighbors; but without
cultivation of the earth, he is, in all
countries savage. Until he gives
up the chase and fixes himself to some
place and seeks living from the
earth, he is u roaming barbarian.
When tillage begins, other arts fol-
low. The farmers. therefore, are the
founders of human civilization DAN

Alexander w. Randall, then Post
master General, reported at the last
session of the Fortieth Congress, 1t
will be recollected, an estimated de-
ficiency in the Postofficc appropria-
ton for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1869, Of S3,7O0,OOO. The appro-
priation was made, and now, the ac-
counts for the year being closed,
Postmaster General Creswell shows
an unexpended balance Of $500, 900.
In other words, four months of Re-
publican administration of the De-
partment shows there would have
been no deficiency at all for the year,
but rather a surplus of earnings over
expenses, had it been during the
whole fiscal year in the control oc

A Good Appointment.

One OF the best appointments yet
made by General Grant, is that of
Gen. Walter Qintius Gresham, to be
United States District Judge Of ln-
diana, vice Judge Mcdonald deceas-
ed. f
Gen. Gresham was prominent
lawyer at New Albany Ind, when
the war commenced, which practice
he left to command the SD Ind, and
to got his leg broken by aminnie bull
let in front of the Iowa Brigade be-
tore Atlanta, July, Goth 1864,
He was made Brigadier Gen. before
Vicksburg, and commanded Crock
er's immortal Division, from the
time that gallant officer vas compel
ed to resign, at Decatur, in May "a,
until he was shot out of the service.
He lives in the Penitentiary Con-
gressional District Of Indiana, which
is of course heavily democratic, new
ertheless as the Republican candidate
for Congress, at the two last cleo
tions, he has made heroic fight
against Mike Kerr, the Copperhead
incumbent, and has greatly reduced
the democratic majorities.
He wac prominent member OF
the Contention which nominated
Gen. Grant, and is q strong personal
friend of Colfax, to which latter
fact, coupled with his brilliant militia
ry record, and fine legal attachments,
he is indebted for q lifetime office
which is the best in the State, and
which we are assured came to him
His old comrades OF the 4th Divis.
ion 18th Corps touch their caps
and congratulate their late beloved |
commander, on his we'll merited pro-
motion, to an Office which they know |
he will fill with pre-eminent ability,
and satisfaction to the public.

Meals School House.

The meeting on Monday Evening
at Meals School House was not very
we'll attended. The recent rain had
made the roads quite bad, which ac-
counts in part for the small turn out.
No new stock was obtained. $500
OF good stock was put into notes,
but Judging from the spirit manifes-
ted, much labor must be done in that
vicinity, to Undue, the people of that
part of the county, to do their duty
and simply take care of their own
best interests, in this the last oppor.
tunity that will in all human proba-
bility ever be presented to them Of
getting a railaoad. Owing to the
fact that but few will come to the
meetings, personal and individual Of.
for, must be made with many Of them
by going around and calling upon
them at their homes.

No MISTAKE ABOUT RAwLlNs.-
Among the last dying words Of Sec
rotary kawlins were these: Eyes, |
have something more to say. There
is Cuba-poor juggling Cuba. l
want you members Of the Cabinet
and others around his bcd) to stand
by the Cubans. Cuba must be free.
Her tyrannical enemy must be crush
ed. Cuba must not only be free, but
all her sister. islands. This republic
is responsible. l am passing away;
but you must look after this" So
spoke the dying patriot, and his words
have the ring of the genuine silver.
We believe. too, that he spoke the
mind of General Grant; for it is i'm
possible that two men, so harmonious
upon other questions, should be dis
cordant upon this. We take the
dying words of his confidential
friend, Rawlins, as a foretaste of the
West India policy of General. Grant.

Our very excellent friends, Capt.

Chicago-Knoxville Democrat, and
Porter Clay WEIGH, Poet Laureate OF
Iowa Democracy, likewise editor in
chief Of the Chicsgo-Oska loosa
Democratic Progressive Conservator,
have fallen out over certain matters

journalism, afterlampooning each
other to their hearts content, have
capped the climax of their righteous
indignation by stopping their re-
spective exchanges with each other.
The magnitude of the loss sustain

inferred from the fact that they
each buy their papers printed mainly
at Chicago, at the heavy cost of
twenty five cents per quire.

SAD CALAMITY.-We regret to learn
that our old. comrade, Col. John G..
Abercrombie, Of Burlington, last
Commander 18th Iowa, has entirely
lost his eycslght.
He fought.in the ranks during the

commanding officer. A good soldier,

Incorrect.

Our attention has been called to
the following paragraph, in recent
dispatch from Keokuk to the State
heg'ster, containing a brief account
OF the proceedings Of the late Edito.

"A motion to request the printers
OF Iowa, to join the Association was.
after some sharp sparring, laid on
the table,"
Gov. Cue, the President of the So.
clcly was not present, neither was
there copy of the constitution and
bylaws on hand, consequently when
motion substantially as above set
forth, was introduced by Mr.. ]. S.

upon the table, because it accorded
with the memory of members pres

That Ioosed the rats that stole the stock
That lay in the house that Nander-hilt.'

Scandal.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

From the New York Post.
The rehabilitation of dead-and-
gone celebrities, for tho sake of wri-
ting something scandalous about
them, is by no means a new business,
and, generally spanking, tho very
worst things possible are said. Nor
arc those who tell such things always
as much above reproach as Mrs.
Stowe.
A good many years ago the Honor
able Grantley Berkeley was the sub
jcct of some unpleasant criticism in
Fra-er's Magazine; whereupon he
called upon the publisher and boat
him nearly to death with club.
But it happened that DIR. Maginn,
"Odoherty' of tho Noctes, was the
writer OF the lines which displeased
Berkeley; and as Maginn, though a
club man, was not precisely the man
to be dubbed, he and Berkeley took
tho field and fired pistols at each 9th
or with serious Intentions, but no seri-
GUS results. Thereafter Berkeley do
voted himself to the writing of disa-
greeable books, that is, what he wrote
always contained more or less matter
which might better have been left
ont, and which was left out, with the
entire volume, from most families and
decent Libraries.
In due time DR.. Maginn died.
Died, also, in 1888, Lctitia Elizabeth
Landon Mclean, who was known
and loved for her poems, signed u. e.
IL. She had accompanied her hus.
band to Capo Coast Castle, Africa,
and there, at the ago Of thirty six, she
died under circumstances which clio
tied the fact that she was in the hab-
it OF taking Prussic acid in minute
quantities as a relief for hysteria. An
overdose had killed her. But there
was no suspicion of suicide. All her
relations in life, SO far as tho world
knew, were pleasant. Her character
was absolutely irreproachable.
But neutrality-suspicious. afterwards,
in 1866, the Hon. Granuey Berkeley
wrote book of "Reminiscences in
which he charged that his old enemy,
Dr.Maginn, and the pure Letitia Eliz-
abeth Landon carried on for years
criminal connection, The two were
doad. Likewise, Berkoley's book fell
dead upon the public. Maginn and
L. E. l.. were known, so was Berke-
ley; accordingly, no great harm was
done.
