OWNS UP TO DEFEAT.

Nature has been guilty of many strange
and curious freaks, and now and then she
has made one of those Puny specimens
who Greeley denominates little creatures
whom providence, for some inscrutable pur
pose, permits TO edit the majority OF Radical
papers," so that they can tell the truth. In
trying to explain away the Democratic vic.
tories in this county, the Union uses the fol
lowing very appropriate words;
We own, it is not very creditable to the
Republicans OF Black Hawk, Andalusia,
Drury, Cordova and Canoe Greek, that they
have allowed themselves to be represented
IN the Board of Supervisors By Democrats.
On its face, II looks very much as though
the race of true Repu bicans had degener
ated. or died or moved away. Ii looks as
though good men we're getting scarce IL the
Republican ranks of those towns.
1t does look little tina, wsy-in fact, it
looks good deal that way. Good men are
mighty scarce in the Radical party every
where, If those who are elected TO Office are
the specimens by which to judge. The more
you look the Radical party in the face, the
blacker it looks, and the summer months
will make it smell worse than it looks The
more high toned of the party couldn't stand
the first dose, and when it comes hoae 10
! them in ali its greaslness. the respectable
portion of the party will all more array.

RELIGIOUS Exc1rEnEHr-A YOUNG La
pY BECOMES A RAVING LUNATIC.

| One of those sad cases of insanity that is
attributed to the excitement consequent up
on protracted religious revival, occurred in
Davenport yesterday on the public streets,
whereby young lady s mind is injured if not
destroyed for life. The Occurrences was wit
messed by large number of citizens, and
by none without most genuine feeling OF
pity. The facts are as follows
About four miles from Ottumwa, resided
family by the name OF Fisher. Ihefe
were two sisters in the family, the yonnses'
one lydia e.. aged % is the one with whom
wa have IN do. She came to Davenport two
vaar. AGO seeking employment, which she
fan,d a. Joseph Shields factory, where she
,.,dsd a loom She boarded with William
Nelson, on Main street. Here abe lived
eighteen months, working early and late at
the factory, and winning the good will of
every one by her correct department and
ago she went to live in the family of L. A.
Tillebein, working still at Shields, and there
she remained until the present time.
One night about week ago, Mr.. Tile =
bein and his wife were awakened by a series
of shouts, prayers, and singing, from her
room. Upon going thither they found her
laboring under q temporary attack of insan
ity, snperiuduced by strong religious excite
ment. She recovered in short time, and
has appeared as we'll as ever during the
past few days, except an occasional wild
look about the eyes.
! Just after dinner to-day, she quietly left
the house, and walked directly through the
water above the railroad bridge, over two
and half feet deep. and turned down Third
Street, where she commenced to swing her
parssol, short, and conduct herself like de
meuted. Mr.. Tilebein had left his home a
! few moments before. and took the street cars
| down 10 Western Avenue, where, after tran
sacting some business, he turned down to
Second ST., and in walking up, he met Miss
! Fisher coming toward him, with q rsbble OF
and through, soiled and torn, and she was
talking incoherently-Mr. T. could scarcely
believe his own eyes that this was the neatly
dressed girl he had left quietly eating dinner
with his wife half an hour before. An Off
GER. who had been watching her movements
came up, and the two persuaded her to e
sp to Major Sehni'gers, whore room was
furnished her, and proper treatment admin
istered.
| Miss Fisher had recently been attending
revival meetings ct the Baptist church, and
had become greatly aroused on the subIec,
of religion, with the above result. She j,
represented by Gil who know her as e very
snisble girl, of strict integrity and pleasing
manners The best of medical attendance
has been summoned, and pleasant spar
ments assigned her at the jail. where sh,
remains temporarily until q suitable plsc,
can be provided for her.

For the last few years the TroPriotors Of

on the Islar of Jamaica, and have found, from
actual tests, an d by means 4 mean experience,
thar this valuable bark caa be grown l,500 to
1000 feet high. There the forests ar. often be-
dewed with the early mist, and this tree arrives
at its full perception. Owing to the largely in
cressing demand for the bark required for the
manufacture of quiniue, and also for in the
preparation of PLANTATION BrTTERs, the procur-

the above early precaution to fully supply the
demand, and, assisted and encouraged they
are by the English government, At Jamaica, we
have not the least doubt but they will succeed.
