was laid on without any reservation whatever, and
the affair is the talk of the capital.
The offense was most heinous, being nothing less
than vndictive assault in the columns OF the Times
Of the 29d of last August in letter from Saratoga,
written by Crounse, and signed "Cymon, In the

You are already of the fact that the present
Captain-General, De ROdas, has furnished the Gov
ernment Of Prim proof of the connivance of several
prominent Spanards with the cause OF Cuban inde-
pendence. The VOZ de cuba, De Rodas organ in
referring to the telegram, says:-
at is than month since the pos de Cuba, conf
ding in documents and data of positive nature declared
what said in Madrid respecting the conniyance be-
the insurgents and the Republicans and discovered
by General Oabaero de Rodas when the latter least
it, We have no new commentary therefore to add
to this notice and only bless the lucky star of
this General which has permitted him to do his country
this and inestmable service to which, perhaps the
island of Cuba owes its salvation"
Then, to the discovery OF this ''connivance" and
not to the acrisoLado patriotism OF the great majo
ry of its Inhabitants" is due the preservation to
Spain Of the Ante. Truly, these Havana journals

The Growth of States
In 1850 Illinois had population of $4,000, Mis-
souri, of $50 Co., and Iowa of 1872 0O0 Ten years later
the population OF Illinois and of Missouri had
fold. The railroad system had effected these great
changes. In 1870 Iowa will have population of
100000 Five railroads are being constructed east
and west across the State, and others are anticl-
pated The plan is to have latitude railroad in each
is fertile beyond comparison The crop of grain
raised is immense. Out OF 50 million acres in the
State, 8,500,t00 were devoted to grain in 1867,
and these produced 5O,OOOOOO bushels Of corn
100000 bushels of wheat, and 49, 900 900 bushels Of
oats. Only portion of this was used in the State
the residue went to feed the hungry elsewhere. This
grain must be transferred on the railroads, and
hence we may form some idea of the ultimate value
OF the railroad system OF the State. There is no
north and south line in the State, though one is
chartered. Iowa is and will be essentially an agrl-
cultural State and every farm will furnish freight
EnlBIdJOn Is constant there, and in DOlitiCS the

foreigners come in the more intense becomes the

South to tie to. New alliances are recommended
there.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-For the hundredth time

by rumors of consolidation, the rumor this

The farmer is lord of cattle,
z The farme- is king OF the soil,
Though his brow may be darkened by sunlight,
His hands may be Drowned by his toll.
He looks DER his fields and his orchards,
With Joy, when his days work is DER,
For he knows the seed planted in Spring time,
In Autumn will yield a rich store.
He sees God in nature around him
The flowers that bloom on the plain,
Though dying in winter-in summer,
Will blossom III beauty again.
The corn that IS dropped in the furrow,
By sunshine expands into birth
Its rich ears of gold in the autumn,
And beauty and grandeur 10 earth.
The grass that is withered and dying, ,
The trees, though now leafless and bare,
Will spring into life and new verdure,
Which proves immortality there
The seed that is sown by the wayside,
Whether of tares or of wheat,
Takes root in the soil that surrounds it,
And starts into life while we sleep.
Nothing il lost, or is wasted,
That lies meath the rich turned sod;
The s'seed time and harvest fail not"
If you trust in the power Of God.
"By the sweat of the brow thou shalt labor"
Though weary, fear not, but endure
, A crown of the faithful awaits thee,
For God and his promise is sure.
