The people of Toledo were favored,
last Thursday evening, with tho op-
portunity to hear Mrs. Fletcher. of
Council Bluffs, read her thrilling poem,
Nemesis Mrs. Fletcher has an OK.
ccllcnt voice which has been we'll cul'
tivated, and though her poem was
lengthy, she held her audience inter
ested to tho close. The writer evinces
not little talent as writer. Though
many parts of the poem were very
plain prose, there were numerous
passages which were truly sublime and
redeemed the whole piece from prosi-
ness and mediocrlty.
Mrs. Fletcher goes eastward soon.
We hope when she returns she will IA
vor US with another reading, ~ she has
several poems on different subjects.

We have heard a considerable said,
lately, in respect Of mail line through
Helena to Brooklyn. We are certain
that route should be established from
Toledo or Long Point. TIA Helena, Eu-
reka, Fairvlew and Kent Settlement,
to Brooklyn, and that the mail should
be carried over that line at least twice
a week. Wherever may be the in.
itial point is not material. If at Tole.
do, as has been suggested, and an Office
established somewhere in the nclghbor-
hood of Tompkins' Grove, . great
want will be supplied. If the people
along this proposed route would exert
themselves little moro there is no
reason to doubt their early success.

Last week Mr.. A., from tho north.
ern part Of the county, came down
with large drove Of hogs and weighed
them at Toledo, on the scales Of Mr.. T.
When the hogs we're sold at lama
City, the weight did not hold out to
within 500 pounds, whereat there
were many ordinations and charges
Of cheating, DC. The buyers Of the
porkers, in order to test tho accuracy
Of the weighing at Toledo, drove the
hogs back to this place and found that
they did not weigh as much by two
hundred pounds As they did at Tama
City. The question now is, how came
set Of scales to vary 1000 pounds IN
one day, on drove Of hogs? We pre-
sumo that Mr.. A. has, satisfactorily to
himself, answered. the question At tie

Statistics show that in the manuiac.
turing districts Of England, the ordi-
nary day wages of the man is about
twenty-five cents, and of the woman
and children less. by use of this class
OF labor, English manufacturers can
make goods at a lower price than they
can be manufactured in the United
States, for the reason that in this coun-
try far price is paid the working
man for his labor. Now, the practical
operation Of free trade would be to re-
ducc the wages of the laboring classes,
or To put an end to manufacturing at
once. An argument in favor of free
trade is an argument against the best
interests of the working man. The
movement in favor OF free trade in the
United States is organized and the ex-
penses of it arc paid in English gold

completely changed in form, adopting the gen

out, however, altering the character Of its lit

promise to make il "the handsomest illustrated
