"I.inkensale," one of the most brilliant
writer's of Iowa, author Of that best Of Iowa
books relating TO the war, entitled "Iowa and
the Rebellion" and now the Iowa cores,
pondent of the Chicago Post, will be in this
CITY next week and will deliver his very en>
tertaining lecture on "Fosr Years in Wash>
ington,n at Munson's Hall, on Wednesday
evening. The price Of admission has been
placed at IS cts, SO that no man
need feel too poor to take his wife and chill,
dren. Mr.. Iugersoll resided at Washington
four years, portion Of the time during the
progress Of the war. He acquired thor
ough knowledge Of men and things at the
CAPITAL. His delineations Of the habits and
characters of our prominent political men
are intensely interesting. His descriptions
Of the excitemcnts and hopes and fears ex-
is,ing ut Washington during the dark days
Of the rebellion, are vivid and thrilling. He
unravels the mysteries Of Congress aud Of
society at the Capital in manner to give
more Of a real insight into Washington life
in an hour than can be acquired BY months
Of ordinary reading.
Now a word in private to our readers.
Mr. Inrersoll was one Of the very best
friend. of Independence and Buchan>
an county at Des Moines, last winter. He
vas stationed there Ms the correspondent OF
Chicago papers, and as matter Of course
came very much in contact with the mem
hers Of the Legislature. When Senator Dom
n.r introduced the bill for the location ofthe
Tn..re Asylum ut this point, the members
or The Legislature very naturally began to
snou;re . as to the suitablencss Of the pro-
nosea location. Mr.. Ingersoll gave great
Posi,1 os, af valuable information on that point
aeS' ara smoke ~ many good words for US. He had
n"s nasn here and knew the ground, and was 80
ueII well pleased with us that he contributed not
w1;, tn n tho manner indicated to insure the
a,ssass ns, Of the bill. Now let us Indicate Our
su..os; n...;s,;oo of his efforts by giving him .
"pp,;v lp,a;nr house on Wednesday evening. The

this Subject as Fred Douglass. His remark-
able career has developed self,reliant
genius and power such as few men Of any
country or age have manifested. He is q
living demc nsra,ion Of what man may do
for himself in spite Of the most discouragins
.dverse circumstances. That his lecture on

the most interesting ever heard in this city

MAN DROWNED.
Whisky the Cause.
Upon Whose Hands is the Muir.
der?

Yesterday, (Thursday) German by the
name of Weisrniller, a butcher by trade,
whose home is situated in the southeast
quarter Of the city, came up town and be,
came intoxicated. He remained on the
streets and ia the saloons until about nine
o'clock in the evening, when he undertook
to find his way home. Passing down Wal>
nut street, he reached the house Of one Of
the Mann brothers, near the cemetery, and
entering it, remained o few moments and
then started, as be probably supposed, in the
direction Of his home. However be wenttoo
far south and stumbled into the back water
Of the river which on account Of the food
was some ten or twelve feet deep. He com>
menced hallowing and was heard by the
Mann brothers who went to his assistance AZ
quickly as possible. They found him en-.
tirely beyond their reach, as they had no
boat. They raised an alarm and procured
rope, which was thrown to him and for a
short time held in his grasp; but either be-
cause of rumbncss or OF his intoxicated con.
dition, he lost his hold upon it, and soon
went down. As soon as a boat could be
procured search was instituted for his body,
which was recovered about an hour after the
FIRST alarm. OF course life was extinct.
The deceased left wife and four children
His death was no less than murder. Whiss
ky was the diabolical agent. Who Of the
saloon keepers Of this city we're the cool per.
petra.ors of the deed? The man was poi.
soned and rendered delirious by . cursed
beverage solo to him in violation Of the laws
Of this State and tie laws Of God. Upon
whose head is the blood Of this new victim
And yet these rum holes are quietly tolerated
id IN enlightened community YOU have
the fi,.' its before you! Another innocent wo-
nan maze desolatt! Four helpless child
rem left with out father to provide for and
protect themi A soul sent into eternity in o
fearful and unuat1 1ral manner without warn
