ToMPKINs of the Million goes in
to no undignificd antics over his re-
movaI from the McGregor post Of
fee, as will be seen from the follow
ing sensible paragraph in his paper.
We congratulate him upon his re-
entry into what he well terms the
''pure atmosphere of free political
life:''
Deacon Bell was confirmed Postmaster
of McGregOr on Saturday last. Dis
patches in the daily Tribune state that
considerable discussion was had in exec
utivc session over the matter Harlan
opposing and Wright favoring his con-
firmation. Mr.. Bell now steps into a
troublesome, unthankful position, and we
pass once more into the pure atmosphere
of free political life, while few malig.
nants like the mcndacious Newell, are
satisfied. Mr.. Bell is a worthy man and
will make good postmaster.

notable day in Dubuque. All the

the Catholic churches in particular,
the services of the day were con-
Quoted with unwonted pomp and

THE trial of Mrs. Laura d. Fair
for the shooting of her paramount,
\. p. Chittcndcn, in the presence
of his wife, which has been pro-
crossing for some time at San Fran
cisco, was closed on Wednesday, by
a verdict against the wrctched wo-
man of murder in the first degree.
While none will question the justice
of this verdict there are those who,
in the light of recent events, will
believe that had the murderer been
a man he would not only have been
acquitted but have left the dock
amid an ovation Of applause.

The Potato Bug.

The farmers of the Western States
are becoming seriously alarmed in re-
gard to the rayages of the potato bug,
and not without good reason, from all
accounts.
Col Frederick Hacker, scientific
farmer of Belleville, Illinois, who has
been investigating the matter, says the
bug is a native of the canons Of the
Rocky Mountains, where it feeds on the
wild potato. 1t left its original haunts
in 1864, and is travelling eastward at
the rate OF about one hundred and fifty
miles year. 1t has already reached
the Allegheny mountains, the line of
its march being over Iowa, Northern
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio;
and wherever the potato is found in
abundance this destructive insect is
likely to make its way in time though
it does not thrive in a southern climate.
1t feeds upon the tomato, egg plant,and
others belonging to the same fitnily.
There are three successive generations
in each season The first of these CON
tinues about twelve days,and ifprompt-
y and generally destroyed, the crop
may be saved. Seen after its first
cmergence from the ground it begins
to deposit its orange colofed eggs on
the under side Of the potato leaf, from
twenty to forty in a cluster. If these
are not promptly destroyed in all the
neighborhood where tLey appear, the
crop IS almost certain to be ruined.
When it is considered that in 1869 the
five States Of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan, and Wisconsin produced
24,176,000 bushels of potatoes, valued
at $15,00o,000, some idea may be
formed of the serious nature Of this
destructive visitation.

every one was very, very busy. Soldiers
were cnlisting and going away from ~.

him an unpaid bin, with money, and
asked him TO pay Il. When be returned
home at night said she: Did you pay
that bill? Yes, he answered
In a few days the bill was sent In 4

son, that you paid this.
! really don't remember, mother; you
know I've had so very many things on
my mind.
But YOU said you did.
Well, he answered, # ! said did l

He went away, and his mother took
the bill herself to the store. The young
man had been known In the town all hls
life, and what opinion was held Of him
this will show.
