A HAPPY WoMAN.-H Here is something
for the dear, delightful darlingS: hap,
py woman! Is not she the very sparkle
and sunshine Of life? A woman who is
happy because she can't help it-whose
smile even the coolest sprinkle Of mis-
fortune cannot dampen. Men make a
terrible mistake when they marry for
beauty, for talent, or for style, the
sweetest wives are those who possess
the magic secret Of being contcnded un-

bright little fountain Of joy bubbles up
just as muSically in their hearts.
The Governor Of Georgia sings. 1t is
said that his voice is diScordant, owing
perhaps to the fact that he knows bnt
one tune, and sings but the one song.
The following is a faithful rendering,
Except the tunc) Of his favorite:
Cuffee in the jury box,
Cuffec back again
In the Halls Of Legislation
Cuffee on the Brain.
Yes, love him for his color
For the fatness of his snout
For the perfume that arises
When Cuffee is about.
When l think Of my dear cuffee,
Ny bosom heaves sigh,
Lord hope to 60 to cuffec,
When lay me down to die.

HOW Much to Mako n
Farm.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, Iowa" says q man cannot
make farm in new country un-
less he has at least $500 to start with
and he should have $1,000. We sup
pose that under the Homestead bill
all the public lands should be dis
posed OF, free, to actual settlers, in
limited quantities-under the Home
stead bill a man can make fine
farm out of 100 acres with two plows,
u harrow, a hCc, an AK, a wagon and
pair of horses, costing say $685.
In O pinch q man can make such q
farm with one horse and u pillow,
trusting to exchange of work with
his neighbor to help out till he can
exchange some corn or pork for 9th
er necessary things. Indeed, If one
can get boards for o shanty, he can
commence n farm with nothing else,
as there are other richer settlers who
are glad to hire him, and thus enable
him gradually to furnish himself for
independent work In his own planta.
ton. Under the Homestead bin,
should he not get along fast enough,
he could sell his claim to some new
settler, and with the proceeds start
still further out on another quarter
section. But alas ! the Homestead
bin is Of but little advantage. 1t has
been rendered almost dead law by
the speculatiOns and unfortunate leg.

! Reference to the following article,
which We clip from the OttunWa
! Courier, was made last week:
at is currently reported here that
! the Iowa Central Railroad has con-
solidatcd with the Iowa River Rail-
road, So that Cedar Falls, and the
| country south of that point, will look
| forward to n connection by rail with
Ottumwa. We desire to say to our
| friends at Cedar Falls, that Ottum-
wa is ready to cooperate with them
in the construction of their southern
| road. Cedar Falls il almost due north
of Ottumwa, and n railroad connect
ing these thriving young cities would
bring the northern portion of the
State i'm close connection with the in
exhaustible coal deposits Of this re-
gicn, and connect us with system
of railroads in Minnesota that would
supply this region with piue lumber
at much lower rates than we are now
obliged to pay. Besides the north
ern portion of this State, and the
State of Minnesota, would then have
the most direct connection it can pos
sibly get with st. Louis and the South
via the North Missouri road.
1.-THE country from here to Cedar
Falls is we'll settled aid magnifi-
cent farming country, and we have
no doubt that reasonable amount OF
exertion in the northern part of Wa
pello, the eastern edge Of Mahaska,
and the center of Pc wesheik counties
would result in securing as large a
subscription to grade the road rs can
he raised on the liEc Of any other
projected road through Iowa.
''Kirkville, that has the finest
coal mines in this country, Fremont,
that has around it many of the most
| wealthy and enterprising farmers OF
Mahaska county, and Montezuma
and Toledo, located in the midst OF
rich and magnificent counties, can
and arW contribute literally, we be-
lieve, to insure the completion Of
this road. Let the effort be made tC
raise stock on this line, and we do
not doubt the result: will surprise the
most sanguine friends Of the enter
prise.
CAS- for Ottumwa, we can only say
that she has her blood up on the rail
road question. Her citizens are de-
termined to make this the great rail
road center of the State; and expert
ence has convinced them that every
dollar invested in securing the com.
pletion of railroad is as good as five
dollars in their pockets. Never were
the citizens of this place so thorough
ly alive to their interests in this re-
spect rs they are to-day, and we
could now raise larger subscription
for the speedy completion of rail
road to Cedar Falls than ever before.
"To the people of Cedar Falls, and
to the people along the line of q
road from that point to Ottumwa, we
say put the ball IN motion. The wri,
ter of this article is ready TO start q
subscription with $1,000, and will
double that amount if necessary

Temperance VS. Common
Sense.

A few would be progressive temp
erance men, in our State, have been
firing their pop guns at the Republi-
can party of Iowa ever since the as
sembling of the State Convention.
They claim that the temperance men
were ignored, or i'm other words they
would have it distinctly understood
that the Republican party is not for
temperance. A correspondent wri-
ting from Des Moines to the .T0nd-
ard, at MarshalItown, says $50 long
IA we cling to the Republican ship,
all beer soaked and rotted,' so long
shall we fail to make any progress in
the great reform of the day" All
such talk we declare to be the height
of nonsense.
It is fact which all who were
present will readily admit, that the
Republican convention was mainly
composed of thorough temperance
men, and it was evident at the time
that an attempt to place a candidate
in nomination who was not q strict
temperance man would have utterly
failed. The Republican party, in
Iowa to-day, stand squarely on the
side of temperance, and the would
be progressives who were clamoring
for third party should remember
this fact before plunging so deep in
to folly with their impractical views
and measures.
They claim that the temperance
convention was controlled by politi-
ticians. So far as this charge Is
true it was fortunate. When the
meeting threatened TO break up in
utter confusion it was high time that
men of cooler heads and more prac-
teal views should come to the res
cue and bring order out of such ap-
parent confusion. If the radical
temperance agitators expect to sue
coed, they must place themselves on
the broad platform of common sense
and move unitedly with the Repub-
lican party of Iowa.

In commenting upon our rebuke
TO s. p. Adams for the selection Of
Il. c. David for one of the Vice Pres
idents of thelate Republican cOnven-
ton, the independence Bulletin says ::
S. L. Adams is IA notable instance
. of a man of rea! talent and power ru-
ined by the indulgence of his pas
sions. Mr.. Adams is a man of abili-
ty, and, when they can be got at, of
strong radical convictions. The time
has been when his influence in this
Congressional District was hardly
second to any man in it. -Four years
ago lie was the first choice of Blu
chanan and Delaware, and the sec
ond choice of nearly all the other
counties in the district for Congress.
His worth was universally acknowl-
edged and his CONSTANT Republican
record endorsed and applauded.-
Since that time, however, gangrened
by disappointment, or it may be by
injustice, Mr.. Adams seems to assid-
uOusly devote himself to the nurs-
ing of his grievances and the promo
ton of his hates and revenges.
To obtain compensation for his
wrongs, he has allied himself with
the most corrupt element Of the par
ty i'm Dubuque, fighting their battles
and, seemingly Indifferent to ali con-
siderations of consistency and digni-
ty, allowing himself to become CEN
trail figure in the disgraceful feuds
which make Dubuque politics a
stencil i'm the nostrils of every hon
est man i'm the State. His action at
Des Moines in securing the endorse
ment of a man, whom personally
and politically he despises from his
Utmost soul, can only be explained
by his desire to get some kind of re-
venge upon Allison, for real or imag
mary wrongs done him by that gem
t1eman.
1t would be well for Mr.. Adams to
remember that an attempt to put for
ward man so repulsive 10 the
Republican party Of the State and
District as, Il. C. David for the pur-
pose of gratifying his personal re-
yenges will only cause still greater
reaction against him. The Republi- |
can party does not propose to enter
into the petty quarrels Of few cor
supt politicians.
