Are Women Stlugy l-And VIII, !

HFOm Nt fAll MAIL haACttes
One Of the small sins of women, Mrs.
Linton afirms 10 be stinginess, and we are
not going to deny this TO be the case. Al
most all women are stingy in a bargain and
in paying for work, and so are air middle
men in that capacity. They have not of.
ten any money of their own, nor very much
at their disposal they are expected to make
it go a long way, and to account for the ex.
penditure 10 another person, who would
probably shrink with q manly fear from
being slanged by a disappointed cabman,
or an exasperated fshwife, but does not
see why his wife should object TO Il. We
believe this recognized %stinginess arises
from these causes, and is not by any means
the natural disposition Of women. Ii any
one wishes to see a place where the SER
wants eat what they like, are literally paid,
and cosseted and cared for in health and
sickness; where he.very horses and dogs
are fat and unworked; where the repairs Ia
the house and the servants houses are sub.
stantially made, he must look for II where
two or three maiden ladies live together on
a fixed and comfortable income which they
spend in their own fashion, being account
able to no man for what they do, We have
seen many notable instances of this kind,
though we are constrained to admit that
the servants were all required to be of one
way of thinking, as TO church and state,
and the tenants to poll on the right side al
election times, otherwise for the one and
the other there would be a very manuals
quart dheurs indeed, followed up in case Of
further resistance, by a notice to quit.

Ar A LATE sHETNo of the San Francisco

AT A LATE MEETING of the San Francisco
Academy of Sciences Professor Bolander
called attention TO the fact, recently re-
ported 10 him on reliable authority, of Il
marked rise in the waters Of Like Mono
since the earthquake period of 1868, and
added that the rise had been followed by a
freshening of the water, and the total dis
appearance OF the dense clouds of flies
which formerly deposited their Larvae on
the shores Of the lake. Professor Whitney
stated that there is evidence that Lake
Mono was once 600 feet higher than now.
He added that Great Salt Lake and Pyra-
mid Lake have also risen greatly within a
year or two.

Let We'll Alnnn.

The Scott county Supervisors,
availing themselves Of the permission
of the amended law, have provided
for a popular vote on the day of the
General Election, October 18th, to
determine whether or not the num-
Der of members composing the Board
OF Supervisors shall be increased
from three to five or seven. Such a
vote may, perhaps. be unobjectiona-
bic as testing public opinion on this
matter, but it can hardly be said to
be necessary. lhe amended system
under which we are to have only
three Supervisors instead of a score
or more, does not come into opera
ton until January lst, 1871, and
certainly no one can intelligentIy eX-
press an opinion as to the success of
thet reduced number of officials in
conducting the affairs of our county
government until after triaFduly had
and results carefully Observed
Therefore, we must believe the pro-
posed vote TO be wholly premature.
The evils Of the existing system with
its,unwieldy and expensive supervis-
orship, rs these are known, and con-
fessed, Induced the belief no less
than the hope that the saving TO the
county under the three supervisors
will be quite considerable, and that
the public business will be better
taken care of next year than before.
These anticipatiOns may not be real
lied, but let facts be tested before we
Jump at conclusions and attempt to
increase the membership of the
Board. Let well enough alone until
it can be seen just how We May do
etter.-DaUenpoTt Gazette.
This states the case in few words.
The action of the Board, in submit
ting the proposition to increase the
number to seven, is premature,
wholly. 1t pre-supposes the case
that tho three, who are to be elected
this fall, are incompetent to conduct
the affairs of the county.
Besides, 1t Is questionable whether
the present Board have right, le-
gally, to submit the question. The
law says the Board Of Supervisors of
any county, may submit the CUES
ton at any regular election, and
while it does not expressly state, Ii
evidently means that the new board
shall do 1t. Be that as it may, it il
now before the people for their re-
lection or adoption, and should be
voted down.
The Scriptures tell US that In the
multitude Of counsel there Is great
wisdom, but we know by past expe-
rience, that in the multitude OF Su-
pervisors there has been much "log
rolling" We favored the district
ing OF the county into five divisions,
with q supervisor from each dis
trict, but since that was not done, let
us try the next best, in our opinion,
and If it is not found practicable, we
shall be as strongly in favor Of in.
ereasing the members to seven, as
we are now in opposing it. AS we
cannot return to three after the sew
en- are once in Office, let us test the
Judgment Of the Legislature first

The Joint Discussion.

The Dubuque Hcrdld is attempting
to bold up poor Smelt2er by asserting
that Capt. Orr ran away from him in
this city and would not meet him In
joint discussion. We had no desire
to humiliate the Herald or It's party,
by stating how Smeltzer squirmed,
and begged, and apologized, when
the word was carried to him that
Capt. Orr would meet him In joint
discussion In the afternoon, any
where, or at any time, regardless of
his (Orr's) health, but we've been
called out and we must confess that
If ever Democrat felt alex before a
battle 1t was Smeltzer. He begged
to let him and Orr arrange matters so
that he could sneak out OF the dis
cusslon, but that wasn't the inten-
ton Of the Republican Central Com
mlttee. Hence the arrangement OF a
joint discussion In the evening and
the foaming, frothy time that followed
Smeltzer's first appearance before an
intelligent audience. He sweat, and
ranted, and raved. He wiped his
throbbing. brow. Oh! how he wiped.
His legs, resembling two diminutive
pipe stems, were scattered In every
direction like a kicking mule after
flies, and those gestures--those
lunges. We've paid for high tragedy
but we never got IL for nothing be-
fore. We don't pretend to say how
many times he looked at his watch,
as we quit counting after the forty
ninth. He varied the programme by
fumbling his handkerchief when his
watch was in his pocket. Q, democ-
racy is that your mar for Congress?
Your stamp orator. IF so, pray de-
liver us from anything more than the
stump hereafter.
Smeltzer was so used up that he
started on the first train west for
home. On arriving at Parkersburg,
he received dispatch from Orr, at
Waterloo, to come back and go with
him to the appointment at Mason
City. The Judge thought 1t would
not DO to back water now and mus
tering up courage to go through with
a bad job badly begun, he came back.
The last we saw Of him Orr had
him in tow going up the Northern
road. Never did democrat look SO
downeastand discouraged. The only
thing that ever resembled Smeltzer'
countenance, was the appearance oil
the Northern democrats on receipt oil
the news of the fall of Richmond.

the question. We urge every Repub.
lican in Dubuque county to make it
q point of honor to vote for him.
Let there be no soreness exhibited at
the polls. Let Us show Mr.. Brayton
and his immediate friends in the
convention, that we have no grief
toward them.
Mr.. Brayton's standing at home
may be judged by the unanimity
and unyielding tenacity of the Della
ware county delegations at Charles
City and Mt independence i'm his be-
half, and while We compliment that
delegation for the devotion they
showed to their honored fellow citi-
zen, we acknowledge at the same
time the splendid tactics which nom
mated him and defeated us.
Republicans OF Dubuque county,
we have a duty to do here. Let us
have no nonsense, no iloppery senti-
ment. Every man Of US should ma:vn
up to the polls and vote for Brayton.

date for District Attorney, is we'll

Know whereof we affirm when we say
that he does his duty well, and to the

uents. He is a lawyer of long aud

The War.

The important war news for
the week, is the surrender Of Stras-
burg, and the report of Russia's
preparations for war against Turkey.
War in that quarter seems certain -
Strasbourg surrendered to the
Prussiaus on Monday, but the dis
patches do not state the number TAX
en- prisoners.
Paris has been completely invested,
and communication with the city is
now had by means of balloons or
carrier pigeons.
The French mobile are DESERVING i'm
crowds at Paris. Two hundred
have been shot for characterization.
The region around Paris for twenty
kilometers, In depopulated and desc
late.
The disposition to resist the Ger
mans to the last, grows strorger.-
Over 100000 persons are under arms
in Paris.
The Regent OF Spain has sustained
the action of the Spanish minister at
Paris, In having recognized the
French Republic. This is q signifi-
cant triumph over General Prim the
War Minister, who had recalled and
censured the Paris Minister on ac-
count of his action.
A London dispatch of the oSth re-
peats the statement that Russia Is
vigorously preparing for war. She il
massing her army on the southern
frontier. Her presumed intention Is
to seize the Black Sea and the OAR
dnnellcs. Austria and Italy are ttiso
unusually active, and there appears
to be perfect accord between the
three nations, and there is no doubt
that they. will unite in an attempt to
carve up Turkey, and divide her be-
tween them.
LATEsT.-Russia has declared for
France. 100000 Russians arc mass
ing on the German border. The
movement against Turkey proves to
be only feint. Quarries near Paris
were mined and blown up, by which
100000 Prussians were annihilated.-
A general European war is now i'm
ment. The capture of Strausburg is
officially contradicted.
