The LEGIsLATURE.-Wc have
nothing but speeches from eminent
members. They are we'll reported by
Orwig's Bulletin. Thus far but few
prominent measures have been decided
upon. Davis and Seals, delegated visit
ants to Des Moines on penitentiary bust
ness, are at home. Stoneman will be
at home when this issue is out. Davis
thinks there will be few heavy appro-
priations this session. Members are
not willing to take chances for future
prospects. We will summary the whole
business for next week.

1t is matter of surprise to many that
while the prices of staple agricultural pro-
ducts are lower now than they were in
1860, there has not been corresponding
fall in the prices of other commodities.
1t il claimed that our tariff laws more
than repay the farmers the exactions
those laws make from them, by affordisg
wider market for everything they have
to sell. 1t is now shown that the price of
wheat is governed by the European mar
kets. which are now very low, while farm
ers are not permitted to buy in European
markets, but are compelled to pay the
prices asked by the monopolists who are
protected by the tariff. On this point, we
submit the following from the N. Y.
Times, which is good republican authori-
", and in favor of a modern tariff:
"The farmers receive "a per cent. less
for his -four than he do 10 years ago; Ia
per cent less for his wheat; per cent.
less for his rye; less for corn; less for
potatoes. For hay he gets in our market
Sc per cent. less than in 1860; for wool
"a per cent. less. But when he must
buy, all his necessaries are advanced.
Turks island salt is ITO per cent. higher !;
English bar Iron, 10 per cent; carpets, A
per cent. lin goldl; mems boots, &c per
cent. higher in gold; red lead paint, 40
per cent. cut nails, Al per cent; lime, &c
per cent; and brown sheeting so per cent.
higher in 1870 than in 1860"
If the farmers of the northwest will
study these figures, they will see that
New England has provided against low
prices for her products by IA exorbitant
tariff, and for low prices in what she
wishes to buy from the western states

Foreignism.
For some years the democrats of this
City, Of the foreign stock have talked
about political neglect of them. Irish ard
Germans have insisted that their birth'
place was prejudieial to their advancement,
and that Americans ESQ called) wanted
the Offices. This prejudice has, en- several
occasions, defeated the democratic party
in q municipal vote. At the polls, on
Monday of this week, the foreign element
had almost universal control (by caucus),
and the result is splendid defeat of
themselves! We cannot help it. When q
man leaves his ':native land" he should
become citizen of the country whose
air, soil, rivers and political sociality he
ties to. If these do not suit him, he
should emigrate to cave where he can
cultivate TIE craven ideas Of servitudo
which forced him from the tyranny Of
his 'native land" Our ''native land"
is the land we live on, and no other.
FISHER AMEs, celebrated orator of
the Revolution of l776, said"What is pat
riotism? Is it narrow affection for the
spot where man was born? Are the
clods we tread entitled to this ardent
preference because they are greener? No,
Sir! The virtue of patriotism scars high
er. 1t is extended self.love, .minglng with
the enjoyments Of life and entwining
itself with the minutest filaments of the
heart' TO make your adopted country a
home forget that ADAM, Of the Hotel d.
Eden, was your grandfather. Leave your
prejudiccs where you left your nativity
and become Americans, United. Skaters, in
fact as we'll as in pretension and the Al
mighty will probably be good to you. The
mixed breeds Of American humans do not
want Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy,
France, Spain or England to transfer
their customs to this country and set up a
system of politico-social control over US.
All efforts to crowd this idea, no matter
by whom attempted must result in the
ostracism Of those who attempt to force
public opinion.

Some of the boilers in Sheffield, Eng
land, have been set upon new plan.
1t consists Of an arrangement Of FIRE clay
plates, by which the gases are thorough
intermixed at four successive stages in
their progress through the fue, and
thrown in thin streams against the sur
face of the boiler. The capacity of the
aue is not contracted, yet NO part Of the
gases can escape this repeated, forcible
contact with the boiler, aud in the pro-
cess the heat they contain is so nearly
absorbed by the iron of the boiler THAI
a series of careful tests show an average
evaporation of twelve pounds Of water
for each pound Of bituminous coal used.
The Improvements can be applied to any
ordinary boiler without resetting it, and
the FIRE clay plates can be furnished at
SO moderate cost that the expense is
soon repaid by the saving Of fuel.

Schools.
Our TIxes has never been favored ~
with special reports about teachers or
pupils. We are pleased with the om's-
sion. Such reports as we sometimes see
in exchanges would not illuminate our
columns. 1t is not right to publish the
names of little boys and girls as remiss in
study or in behaviour. The teacher or
teacher-ess should not herald that Annie
Jones was No. % and Jennie Smith only
IL. This discouragcs young pupil and
leads to jealousy that is anything but
pleasant in schools or in families. The
more forward, or advanced ones want oc-
casional checking, that they may not grow
too vain; the backward ones want cheer
ing and encouragement. A teacher
should look at the Juvenile flock and treat
them with respect to their natural abili.
ties. All children are not alike, but all
shosld be approached with the same kind
ness. Newton was called ''doltn or
sluggard because he took no interest in
Grammar, History, or Chemistry. His
father asked the teacher to give him
Mathematics for study. The world will

classes if they have taste or talent in a
certain direction, but do not reflect upon

The Last Financial Speculation.

A bill has been introduced and referred
to the Committee on Banking, which en-
braces the following PROVISIONS The
repeal of all laws authorizing the issue of
national bank notes, and for the issue of
$500, 600, 900 gold Treasury notes, THAT
is to say, these notes are payable in gold,
if possible, if not, not.) The bill requires
the cancellation and destruction Of the
banks as securities for their issues, and it
also demands the redemption of their
notes, and the return to the banks Of the
non-matured bonds. The destruction of
all the bank notes received by the United
States for taxes, and greenbacks subsitu>
ted, is demanded by the bill, and the pay
ment to depositors of bonds, Treasury
notes at par, equal to the difference be-
tween tbs nominal value Of the bonds
deposited and the bank currency issued
on them, about ten per cent.
The bill requirs a notice to be given to
the holders Of the 5-2Os, that two hun
dred millions Of the same are to be called
in and paid in Treasury notes, at par,
how about the gold, oh ye Of strong
faith p The bonds thus paid are to be
designated by number and date. On fail
ure to present the bonds, after six weeks
notice, interest on the bonds ceases. (How
do you like that sort of settlement, bond.
holders p The bill also provides that
these gold (D Treasury notes shall pay
duties, taxes and imposts. Lastly, upon
the redemption of the public debt, all
outstanding Treasury notes shall be re-
deemed at par, in gold or silver. This
does not look much like paying bonds in
gold, or an early resumption, but as the
matter is in embryo, it may come to
naught.-Day- Book.

PorAroEs FROM SEED.-Seedling pota.
toes may BE grown as easily as seeding
tomatoes. In the fall potato balls may DO
gathered, and the seeds washed out and
then put away in paper balls, or the halls
may be eighty pressed and then dried,
Sut we prefer the former plan. Early in
the spring, SOW the seeds thin in pets,
boxes, or in a hotbed, and when the plants
are an inch or two high, transplant into
small thumb pots, enc plant in csch, and
after the weather is sufficiently warm, turn
them out into the open ground, placing
the plants at least two feet apart each way.
If the plants are started so late that it
will do to transplant directly from the
seed-bed into the open air, Of course no
potting is necessary; but to obtain pota-
toes large enough the frst season to judge
of their quality, the seed should be sown
early in February or March. With fair
treatment, tubers as large as hens eggs or
even larger, may be obtained from Seed
Hearth and Home.

The Mad Stone.
A Mr. Fleming, Of Linn county, has
had in his possession for many years a
mad stone.' About this curious stone
there has been extended comment. Il has
been considered an antidote to poison and
a cure for the terrors Of hydrophobia. To
credit its efficacy has been deemed super
stitious, and yet it has in known instances
effected singular results for good, that
medical science vainly tries to explain Us
coincidentaI. This stone is round peb-
bic, Of dark color. and is said to be a
petrefaction of the heart Of deer. Traps
pers say that deer are not susceptible to
poison, in any quantity or variety. Be
that as it may, there is a: wide spread
belief in the merits Of the maidstone.
The one owned by Mr.. Fleming has been
applied to parts infected by poison and
hydrophsbia, the owner claims, is nearly
three hundred cases. The last application
was in the supposed case Of hydrophobia
at Newton. Mr.. Alum, one Of the pro.
prietors Of the Republican, Was poisoned
while administering relief to sick calf.
The animal was Rot mad, but poisoned.
The virus entered the system Of the editor
through scratch on the back Of his hand
which he had inserted into the calf's
mouth. The band swelled and indamma>
tion supervened. Mr.. Alum visited Mr..
Fleming, and the stone was applied to the
injured hand, and chung to it for an hour.
1t then detached itself and the hand was
pronounced free from poison. The stone
was washed in new milk. which is the
! recognized treatment after such an appli-
cation, and was held to the hands Of
others, to none Of which it could be
attached. Dir. Albums hand rapidly re-
covered and is now about well. The
owner Of this stone has been offered large
sums Of money for it, but refuses to part
with it.-Darenport Journal.
