Is GOLD DECLINING IN VALuEi
This question, asked with such alb
sorbing interest every morning in
Wall street, is asked with equal in-
terest, but with much wider signi-
fication by the political economists Of
Frauce. Some Of them believe that
the great production Of gold for the
last twenty years in California and
Austria Is always beginning to lower
the value Of coin; that certain local
and temporary causes have hitherto
retarded this decline; but that the
movement is now becoming more
rapid, and that general and larg'
rise Of prices, in land and goods, j
impending; that Is TO say, grea
fall In money. The foreiaste Of this
NJ de Mornay contends, Is given b,
the general rise In the price Of labo
and Of small farms which has alread.
taken place. in France. On the othe
hand, such writers as NJ. de cavergn
ascribes this advance chiefly to d
ninished prediction, scarcity an
taxation; while NJ Bonuet says i
due chiefly TO the increase Of wealth

fortune, which he dictated as follows
"My dear young lady, your star

a dark cloud, but when it reappears
it will continue to shine with unin-
terrupied splendor until the end Of
your days. Before one week q
wealthy old widower, wearing suit
Of black and q fine castor hat, will
pay you a visit and request your hand
in marriage. You will accept his
offer, become his wife, and be left a
widow In possession Of all his prop
erty before the close Of the year.
The next husband will be a young
man Of whom you think most Of at
present" 'sia
Three days after the old gentleman,
dressed In the manner described by

young lady, and the marriage fol-
lowed. More than one year has

FAILIso EYEs.-Persons suffer-

malady, must take care Of their eyes.
Any disease impairs the strength, and
the nervous system Is depressed; and
when laboring under this form Of de-
preston the eye is particularly liable
10 become weak. The reason Of this
Is, that Of the ten nerves which 90 of

wholly, and the other four partially,
to the eye. Through the great SYM
pathetic nerve the disturbed stomach,
or liver, or iniestines, communicate
with teIegraphic speed with the brain,
and so with the eye. The 6rst ad-
vice to be given with reference tothe
comfortable use Of the eyes undoubt-

dition; in other words, do everything

is editor. The same gentleman who
was the Democratic candidate in
this Congressional District for Con.
gress q year ago. He is now the
Democratic candidate for tho Legis-
lature from Johnson county. It is
certainly an elegant conception of
high toned genius. 1t smacks of that
cbaste and beautiful vein of thought
SO characteristic of a we'll bred and
refined gentleman, and especially is
it most appropriate in the young and
brilliant leader of Iowa Democracy:
Secretary of War Rawlins has been
ill and is attended by the same gov.
eminent surgeons that post mortemed
the Presidents mare.
His Excellency evidently recog-
nizes no difference between his hor.

An Explanation.

We publish the following as fl
nality in explanation, for the benefit
Of all the parties concerned, from the
last Des M, ines Bulletin
The Ottumwa Courier appears dis
posed to give us the full benefit of
our misfortune in having o. T. Bliss,
agent Of the Copperhead, assume the
responsibility Of taking subscribers
for the BULLETIN. Mr.. Bliss was
employed by us as canvasser, but for
reasons not necessary tc mention, we
revoked his authority. We had no
knowledge Of his Copperhead agency.
He had no authority to act for us at
the time he acted as agent of the Cop
perhead.
The Register stated that no was one
OF the editors of this paper, knowing
the statement to be a talshood, but
We expect nothing better from that
source. If the Courier can derive
benefit or comfort from associatiug
us with the Copperhead, by stating
the facts, be it SO. Fit is the Cop
perhead you are aiming to hit by the
ASSOCIATION, we are sorry for the Con-
perhedd.

"A Correction.
EDITOR CoURlER:


In your weekly of
Sept. 9th, is a "Reminiscences, given by
Judge Negus, relative to the murder
of Maj. Knapp in Columbus, Van
Buren, Co., Iowa, which is SO entire.
ly erroneous, that l deem. it proper
to make some corrections.
The Judge says in 1888 Knapp,
Hondershott and others were attend
ing Court &c. Now at tho time of this
occurrence, in July 1887 we were a
part of Wisconsin. The County of
Van Buren, was not organized, and
no court had been held. Hendershott
was tried before Samuel Reed, and
committed for murder, and sent to
Burlington, but subsequently, thro'
and by the influence of friends ad-
mitted to bail and left the country.
The first court held IN Van Buren,
Go. was at Pennington, in the win
ter Of 1873, .Judge Wilson prcsi-
ding. l was in attendance and will
give You q little incident OF olden
times in court.
There was judgment of about
$4,000 rendered against one Bob.
Ives, and he wishing to "stay it,"
called on Jim. II. Jordan to 90 on his
bond. 1vcs was thought by some to
be little uncertain, but Jim. readily
consented, went into court and was
sworn to "answer questions" when
the following occurred.
Judge.--'Mr. Jorden are YOU
worth over and above your liabili-
ties and legal exemptions. two hun
dred dollars ?"
Misunderstanding savagcly at
the Judge) 1.-TWO hundred dollars |!
Hell! two.bundrcd dollars is no mon
ey at all, | have bet moro than that
many q time on two par"
Judge to Sheriff, Henry Heffle.
menD "Sheriff take this man OUT of
court"
Jordan, to Judge; "you d-m little
fest ifyou give me any of your sass
! will pull you off of thai chair i.,j'' ~,
the Moy 9 your head" There was
quito little sceno, but nothing seri-.
GUS resulted; the Sheriff, and and 9TH
or friends succeeded in coaxing Jim
out, and Ives had to get an other
lbondsman, which was all that Jim
wanted.
And now word in correction of
your statement relative to the pub
lie life of DR.. Flint late of WapeUo
County. The DR.. l think was not a
member of either ofthe Constitution
Conventions, nor q member of the
Territorial Legislature, and certainly
not member of the first State Leg.
islatnro. l think you will fad by
reference that the Dr.'s political ca
reer begun in 1852, when he was
elected to the Legislature. l refer
to these matters because these little
"reminiscences frequently enter, largely
into history; hence the necessity for
their correctness. And would say
to Judge Negus, ifthe Knapp-Hen-
dershott affair, is fair sample of his
"reminiscences Of carly life in Iowa, he
had better revise before he publishes
in pamphlet. APRIL, 1887.

The Stowe-Byron Question
DIR. Lushington Affirms the
Poets Guilt.

The Boston Advertiser gives promi-
nence to the following communica-
ton:
Mrs. Stowe may have fallen into
error as to dates. / trust she has,
and that, as the Nation asserts, Lady
Byron will be acquitted Of any
knowledge of her husbands real
character, until the moment of sepa-
ration. Seventeen years agoI heard
this fearful story of incest from an
Englishman Of the very highest char
acter, mental and moral. He repeat
ed to me the facts communicated to
him by DR.. Washington, and within
this year his narrative has been con-
tirmed by an English woman who
received her information from Trel.
awney, Byron's comrade. The dis
cussion now going on will probably
bring forth the proofs from those to
whom they have been intrusted.-
One Of them will be Byron's own con-
tession. r. l..

HON. w. NJ. STONE
VIII address the people at the following times
Railroad Meeting.

The Railroad meetings at Marys-
vile and Meals School house, Oh last
Saturday were quite successful. The
meeting at Marysville was held in
the church at that place, and was at
tended by a large portion Of the
sterling prosperous farmers of the
Township of COMPETING. An ex.
tended and excellent speech was
made by Judge Hcndershott, short
and well timed remarks by Mayor
Fulton, Judge Aller, A. y. Hamilton
Esq, DR.. Warden and VIM. Daggett
Esq.
An enthusiastic and good feeling
was manifested by the people, and
$1,000 subscribed on the spot.
A committee of FIVE of the farm
ers was appointed to canvass for
stock, and they promised to work
hard to raise if possible $4,000 in
that vicinity. We think from the
spirit exhibited in that meeting that
in that region is good field for
work, and that the people knowing
the great advantage to accrue to
them by the building of the road,
and the incalculable loss that will
bcfali them if they fail, will certain
ly give to the Washington, Ottumwa
and Lcavcnworth road good sub
scription.
The meeting at Meals School
House in the evening, was slimly at
tended, and though this was the Sec
ond meeting at that place, held with
in the last two weeks, it seemed very
difficult to get the people to attend
the meetings, or to take hold Of the
matter when they did come. The
ice however, after the most labored
