CEDAR FALLS, July q, 1870,

>a1bAN ~ hbAsES, lotos
To the Editor of The Evening Telegraph
i have been but twenty-fou hours
in Cedar Falls, and truthfully can
say ''it is good for me to be here"
l sought the printer first, actuated
by natural fraternal feeling for the
craft, and convinced that i'm the edi-
tor $ sanotum may be found a sure
index to the sentiments of the peo-
! pie and correct record Of the won
derful growth and improvement of
the great West. | found the editor
of that most excellent weekly, the
Cedar Falls GAZETTE, seated at his
desk engaged for the time i'm looking
over the Epening Telegraph, just re-
ceived. lie gave me cordial well
come, and after spending q short
time very pleasantly with him, |
went forth to examine the improves
ments made since my first visit here,
ten years ago.
The town then numbered about
500 inhabitants. It's prospects were,
however, much more fattering than
those of any other town west of Du-
buque, and for few years its growth
and business was unparalleled. I'M
migration was flowing i'm thick and
fast, aud the Cedar Valley, on ac-
count of its superior advantages of
timber and water, was rapidly set
Ting up. Prom these settlements
for q distance of eighty miles to the
north, the Falls drew large revenue.
Possessing a superior water-power
and surrounded by fertile country
with an abundant supply of timber,
she cannot be crushed by competing
towns, but must maintain substans
tial and healthy growth, and ere
long become manufacturing town
OF no mean Importance. Nearly all
of the business houses Of 1860 have
been burned and elegant brick ones
built In their places, aud it Is fact
worthy of note that there are larger
and better assorted stocks of goods
to-day In Cedar Falls than can be
found i'm any other town Of its popu-
lation in the State.
There are four drug stores, two of
which do n fine Wholesale trade, and
would be credit to any city. The
town has population estimated at
1000, and can boast OF three first class
Touring mills. one woolen factory,
two foundries, and one pump factory.
They have also splendid starch fac
tory which cost about $50,0O0 but,
through some mistake In the man
agement, has been idle nearly ever
since it was completed. 1t is q SUBJ
stantial building, with first class ma
chinery, and could, with compara~
lively little expense, be converted
into n paper mill, which, with the
abundant supply Of cheap material
at hand for the manufacture of paper,
would prove not only profitable
enterprise but valuable addition 10
the town.
II Is now believed that Cedar Falls
will he made the terminus of the
Cedar Valley road for few years.
But time is precious and | must
depart, ever bearing with me the
grateful remembrance of the kind
attention of the people of Cedar
Falls.
The gentlemanly proprietors Of the
Garter House, the old headquarters
of the jolly fellows of days agone,
have thanks for polite attentions.

Your attempt to make the will OF
God as expressed i'm nature, that men
and women should marry, tant
mount to ordaining the marriage re-
lation, Is as weak as IL Is absurd
But we must admit that IL Is neces-
sary to sustain your assertions that
marriage is sequence of society,"
You say IL Is unfortunate that His
views do not coincide with ours
They exactly do coincide with mine,
for He has specifically and In distinct
form ordained marriage and reveal
ed the same In his word defining
the relation of the married pair, and
giving the only grounds on which
the relation may be dissolved, there
by teaching us that whatever may be
inferred from nature, marriage Is not
left TO such differences, but specifcoi-
" and authoritutirety ordained, in
stituted by Himself. Having
ordained this relation by EXPIRE,
command, its authority and laws rest
upon that ordination, and not infer
ences from nature, which you seem
fond of drawing. You say, "You
seem to think II very absurd that
God should ordain marriage through

but on the express authority Of Gods

the teachings of Gods word on this
subject, and at the same time to COW

The population question is becom-
ing O serious one. There are no ba-
bies at Saratoga or Newport. at Long
Branch or Rye Beach, or Nahant.-
And the darlings are not left at
home either; they are not deposited
with their grandmothers they are
not put out To nurse. The fact is
the melancholy and shock ing fact
that tnere are no babies belonging to
those mothers. 1t has been settled
that is questionable to have babies
and of course fashionable people
obey the mandate and disobey The
commandment given TO all men
through Adam. No moro infants
behind brown stone fronts! The
main business of population seems
to be permanently turned over to the
shanties. - ChicQQo Post.

A nice little boy in Pittsburg went
to the circus the other day, and
amused himself by throwing stones
at the elephant while he was drink
ing. When he got through the boy
tried to propltiate him by Offering
him piece of gingerbread. Before
accepting the cake, the elephant
emptied about sixty-four gallons OF
water, beer measure, over the boy,
and then slung him into third tier
to dry off. This boy Is very indiffer-
ent about circuses now. He says he
believes he doesn't care for them as
much as he used TO.
