1t is announced that Harriet
Beccher Stowe has been engaged to
write up, at $500 u column, the "true
story" Of all the separated wives of
distinguished individuals. ln her
scandal on the dead Byrons, she
showed that she had the best living
nose for prying into other peoples
business, aud so she might as well
keep it at work. AT $500 "pry"
she can afford TO meddle along as
long as shc. lives. But it is to be
hoped that while she may find it
profitable to lift domestic curtains,
she will stop short of lifting any
more shrouds. When she gets the
"trae story" Of all the noted OK
wives written, We advise her to have
Catharine Beccher's prayer to tho
press to let the domestic affairs of
the Beechcrs alone, bound in as a

This shows an increase OF 273 per
cent, on the population Of Ottumwa
per annum, for two years, which is
much the largest growth Of any city
in Iowa. Our wholesale and retail
trade, manufacturing, and general
business, has increased at fully the
same rapid speed, while it, is the
opinion of impartial men who have
visited the principal cities OF Iowa
recently, on business, that we are
building more, and better houses
than any Of them.
We should like some of our neigh
bcrs, who have been fancying them
selves our rivals, and who have been
trying to make their readers believe
that we are lgoing into q speedy and
permanent decline, to put the above
irrefdtable statistical fActs, into their

Mahaska County.

A democratic county convention
was held at Oskaloosa last Saturday,
which got intoa wrangle over the
18th Amendment, during which Porte
G. Welch, editor of the Democratic
Progressive Conservator, made three
speeches, and in essaying to make the
fourth one, the convention inconti-
nently fed, without making any
nominations, orpassing on said amend
ment, deeming the passage Of the
aforesaid amendment, and the failure
of the democracy in "Proud Mahas-

By the above exhibit, Ottumwa is

when in fact it is at the lowest estl.
mate the 7th.
The above census Of Ottamwa,
was taken within our original city
limits, established in 1855, and it
therefore does not include our suburbs
and numerous additions, containing
at least 1900 people. Our next census
will include them, and if taken to-
day, would show Ottumwa to have
at least $500 people ; bringing it in
next after Musoatine in this list Of
Iowa cities in point Of population. (
In the amount Of Jobbing business

Flint Abroad.

The following from the New York
Tribune shows plainly enough that
while.the keen paragraphist of that
paper is close reader of the Cou-
RIER, he is an almighty poor geogra-
pher, or else he would have put Wa.
pello County in Iowa. instead Of
Missouri:
"Onlya few days since, Wapello
County, Mo-, boasted DR. J. Fl. Flint,
who is said to have been 'sas we'll
known as any other man." He had
been member of the Legislature
and also county Judge. He was not
beautiful to look upon, being des-
cribed as "ill shaped, string halted
and homely;" and, on the other hand,
he stood high asa Root and Herb
Doctor and as an elder of the Hard
Shelled Baptist persuasion. But he
was more than this. He was "the
ablest and bitterest" Democrat
IN tho county. We mourn to say
that this medical, ecclesiastical, and
political paragon, has eloped with a
young married woman, one Of his
patients; leaving the sick without q
physician, the Hard Shell church
without a preacher, and the "Demo.
crats'' without can able and bitter
speaker"

Mrs. Stoves Last Romance.

mrs. St0W0S Last Romance.
Speaking Of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stoves great sensational story in
the last Atlantic on Lord Byron the
Philadelphia Post says:
Not one word of this deserves
credit. Lady Byron, it is notorious,
left her husband without giving him
any reason, and at the very time at
which it is said she had discovered
his alleged crime, she wrote letter
addressing him as "Dear Duck" q
letter which Leigh Hunt and Thomas
Moore both describe as one of good
humor, fondness aud affection. That
she afterwards told Mrs. Stowe the
monstrous story the latter had so
foolishly narrated, we do not donbt.
But Lady Byron's word is worth
nothing. fever q wife hated her
husband, she hated Lord Byron, and
one proof of her enmity is found in
the fact that she should make such a
charge to stranger, without daring
to prove it during his life, or for long
years after his death. The effect Of
the scandal will be to induce those
who hitherto have thought Lady
Byron an injured woman, to believe
her crazy, and hor husband, whatever
his faults, wronged and slandered
man.

Chicago and Southwestern
s Railroad.

3 The Leavenworth BuNeti,t OF the
18th inst. says that Judge Hines, OF
this city, has just returned home from
q visit to Chicago, and brings with
him the most cheering news regard
ing the Chicago and Southwestern
Railroad. During his stay in Chica-
20, the Directors of the Chicago and
Rock Island Railroad Company hold
q meeting, ut which they resolved to
endorse the bonds of the Chicago and
Southwestern Railroad Company to
the amount of $50, 900 por mile. from
Washington, in Iowa, to Leaven-
worth. Although the work on this
road has been progressing steadily,
this endorsement will give the enter.
prise a new impetus, and hasten it's
.completion.
e We have heretofore spoken of the
great advantages this read will be to
this city, as affording US almost an air
line connection with Chicago and the
East. From this city to Washington,
Iowa, where it will connect with the
Rock Island road, the country IS un.
surpassed, and generally speaking
well improved. Besides being the
means Of bringing large part of the
trade Of that rich region TO the mer.
chants of Leavenworth, it will afford
q much shorter and, consequently,
quicker route for trave! and freight
than any yet opened or contempla.
ted. A glance at the map, tracing q
line direct to Cameron and thence to
Washington, and SO on to Chicago
will satisfy the most skcptical of the
above assertions; and hence the ne
cessity, as well as advantage, in lcnd
ing all legitimate encouragement to
the building of the Chicago 4 South
western Road.
