An Iowa paper saysl "At the funeral
of young man in Des Moines recently,
the services for the dead took place at
the dwelling Of the parents. After a
most pathetic address, which brought
tears from all the young ladies present,
the minister inquired if any of the dear
friends Of the deceased wished to say
anything on this solemn occasion. A
stranger here stepped forward, and, after
expressing sympathy with the friends of
the deceased remarked that the ways of
Providence were inscrutable, and, in this
connection, he wished TO mention that
he was the agent for first-rate article
of hair vigor for the State Of Iowa. The
corpse had used il for years with great
advantage, and he confidently recon-
mended it, especially to the minister and
undertaken present, as he perceived they
were both painfully bald. Shake the
bottle, gentlemen, and rub the matter
well in with stiff brush, said be. At
this stage Of the proceedings a slight
disturbance occurred, and the hair vlgor
man disappeared.

who should let il loose" "Let us
not overlook the changes brought
about by the events Of 1866. Instead
OF federated Germany organized for
peace, omnipotent for defence, impo
tent for attack, you have a formidable
military power" awe reproach the
Government for Sadowa For me
Sadowa is great patriotic grief, an
irreparable misfortune. But If II is u
misfortune, we cannot annul ii, or
reason as if it had not happened. 1t
is an immense event, the greatest
which has been accomplished for
many centuries. Previously the peace
of Europe reposcd upon the Germanic
Confederation and now | do say
that there is danger Of war; but peace
is organized in a different manner, and
there is now in existence power
which might commit temerity if il
believed It's interests required il"
Notwithstanding facts like these
officially exhibited before them, the
French Government and people rushed
into war. The result has verified the
prophecy of this remarkable debate
the Empire is overthrown and Napo
leon is a prisoner. All in consequence
of having attempted with two hun
dred thousand available soldiers TO
fight a power that had five hundred
thousand to bring Immediately into
the field. Their only chance of sue
cess was TO invade Prussia instantly,
before the German armies could be
concentrated bat through the imbe-
cility and corruption of the French
administration this chance was lost,
and France herself was inyaded.-N.
