THE COUNTY OFFICERS Nothing start
ling is transpiring in the canvass
for nominations for county officers so far
as we are informed The announcement
of u new candidate for Co. Superintendent
will be found in this issue. No new can.
didates for Sheriff are developed, and
those in the field are working very quiet
ly if at all
This reminds us that we have not yet
announced candidates for Auditor and
Treasurer 1t is understood that the pres.
cnt efficient incumbcnts of those offices
will G candidates for re election. We hear
no Others mentioned, and it is possible
that they will go in by common consent,
1t is but justice to say that no more in
tclligcnt, faithful and Jealous officers can
be found in Iowa, than Mcssrs. Loomis
and Main If there is any opposition to
them, of which we are unaware, it must
spring from personal motives, and not
from their official acts. We are the more
free to give this mcritcd need of praise
at this time because of there being no
other aspirants for their places
In the canvass for Senator and Repre-
sentative we note no change. Messrs
Bemis and Weart for the former office
and Hovey and Jones for Representa-
tive, are the only pronounced candidates,
and we presume are "working out their
own savation,' yes; we may rs well add
the balance Of the quotation, "with fear
and trembling" Again we warn the Re
publicans of the county not to be mis-
represented on the Senatorial and other
important questions. Demand to know
how every man stands who asks your

CoNsoLlDATIoN--The Lansing Mirror

have consolidated under the title of Mr.

the paper under the joint management of
our friends Metcalf e. Taylor, has reach
ed us, and gives ample evidence that the
characteristic spice and vigor of the pa,
pers will suffer no diution by the mixing
process. Wenotce one decidedly sensible
thing in the Mirror DC Chronicle, and that
is the announcement made at the head Of
the local column that advance payment
for subscription will be strictly insisted
upon" We hope that our friends will
stick to that text, ana that other Iowa
papers will adopt it. Speaking from eX
perience we regard it as the only safe
policy for any paper to pursue, and that
only those papers who are afraid to stand
on their own merits need to adopt the
opposite system.

just fifty years ago to-day,
In Il tropical island far away,
4 ball, in the game OF LIES Croquet,
Sent by its destined ricochct,-
A JOsselyn wondcrment-was hurled
Into this crowded, jostlin' world.
Bat here this strange and wondrous ball
AT first was tendery treated by all;
For they feared, il knocked so pnny and small
'Twould bring on the island "A terrible squat.
Too tender for even the gentest bumps,
Some gave ii losses, but none gave it thumps.
Till bigger and harder and rounder grown,
And strong enough to 20 ii alone,
Twas brought from its shelter and placed in the
And the rougher play of the game began.
Then none were too tender to give it hit;
For all knew well twas of genuine grit.
Twas hit in earnest and hit in fun,
BY knocks now gentle, and now ovcrdone
But, whatever the force with which twas hit,
No splitting stroke its fibre could split:
And, though the player had little wit,
lie never could make Il BOBBY of it:
And whether tight or loose crOQnctcd,
Nor loose" nor tight" could it ever be made.
Twas hit by friends and hit by foes
Not harder by these than often by those.
Twas sometimes hit by way of defence,
And sometimes, too, with mallets prepcnse.
But however twas hit, its click said plain:
"Who cares for that?-just hit me again.
Hit me hard and hit me fair,
And I'll show you thing vii! make you stare.
And 50, with hit from destiny,
II bounded, u rover, over the sea,
And first upon the Belgian strand,
And then in the German Fatherland,
1t took its part in the strange old game
For which to the earlhs great ball 1t came.
And after a while, another stroke
From destihy's malet its vigor awoke,
And 1t leaped again DER the ocean wave
To the land of the free and the home of the brave;
And like other wanderers, year by year,
II found, well pleased, an iSyt'm here.
And proud are we that on our ground,
The highest Joy of the game il found:
For hther the player llymcn came.
Who's famous for playing the two bail game.
And he Joined to our ball n iairer one,
And vowed ill the game of life was done.
He'd keep them together through shine and show
cr.
For the GROWING JOY Of victory's hour.
And so each wicket together they make.
Two happy martyrs approaching the stake,
To die in the flame that made them best
And be waited therein to the Land of Rest
Enraptured to know that the came OF love
Will be played on II brighter field above
The happy hits were applaudcd as they
fell from the speakers lips, and salyo
of appreciation rounded up the latest ca
dcncc Of the poem.

SEWING MACHINE
the AMERICAN BUTTON HOLE,
OVERSEAMING AND
Sowing Machine.

The following are the reasons why this is the
best Family Machine to Purchase:
L. Because it will do EVERY THING that any
machine can do. Sewing from the finest to the
coarscst material, hemming. telling, cordiug.
braiding. binding, gathering and sewing on at the
same time, rallllpg, quitting &c, better than any
other machine.
. Because the tensions are moro easily adjust
ed than any other machine.
;. Because it can work beautiful button hole,
making as fine pearl as by hand
L. Because it will embroider over the edge.
making neat and beautiful border on any gar
ment.
5. Because it will work beautiful eyelct hole.
g. Because it can do overland scanning, by
which sheets, pillow cases and the like are sewcd
over and over.
:. Because we can quickly raise or lower the
feed. to adapt il to thick or thin cloth.
~ The reasons, Mes. 3, 4, ), = and ! no other
machine can do.
which the thread is constantly drawing from the
center. the tension is consequently even, and does
not break the thread.
o. Because we do away with the shuttle rack
and the shuttle race, which in other machines
cause much friction and wear.
TO- Because the presscr foot turns back so that
the cloth can be easily removed after being sawed
II. Because we can len@thcn and shorten the
stitch while the ma ,hine is in operation.
II. Because it r. Ms EASIER than any other
machine in the market.
IL. Because the BEST MECHANICS pronounce
il the BEST FINISHED and made on the BEST
PRINCIPLE OF ANY MACHINE MANtFAC-
TURED. |; has no springs to break, nothing TO

Bowers Pardon.

The Washington special to the St. Louis
Republican, Democratic journal, says:
The President has actually pardoned
bigamist Bowen, and in the face of the re-
commentator of the Attorney General to
the contrary. The pardon causes consider
able surprise, as the petition in Bowen's be-
half was not signed by the district attor-
ney nor jury, and had attached to it the
names of the scalawag legislators Of South
Carolina and a few local politicians of
Washington.
There seems to be no doubt that the
President, on Thursday, decided not to par
don Bowen. When Mrs. Bowen called in
the afternoon, instead of seeing her, he re-
ferred her to Attorney General Alderman
for answer. District Attorney Fisher, who
prosecuted the case before the criminal
court, declined to recommend a pardon.
The Attorney General had prepared pa
per in accordance with the Presidents
views. but it appears that Mrs. Bowen was
successful at Long Branch. The pardon is
expected here tomorrow morning, and Mrs
Bowen is anxiously awaiting its arrival.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-07-07
We copy this from the -Iberville South:


We learn through the columns of the st.
James Louisianion that the planters of the
parishes of st. James, ST. John and st.
Charles have formed a joint stock company
for the purpose of running a tri-weekly
steamer for the accommodation of the peO-
pie of those parishes in their business inter
course with New Orleans This is an ex-
cellent move to rid themselves of the de
lays and caprices of such steamboatmen as
they have heretofore been compelled to rely
upon for means of transportation and
travel.
We have often thought what benefit it
would be to the people of our town and par
ish if we had fast running steamer plying
between this point and New Orleans-mak-
ing tri-weekly trips. Such an enterprise
could not fail to be paying one, and we
suggest to our friend Captain Jumel. when
he brings out the Bart Able next month, to
make the experiment of running his boat in
the trade. Again, it is standing reproach
to our coast shippers that they do not
patronize exclusively our coast packets at
all seasons of the year 1t is simply an act
of Justice to steamboatmen who remain in
the trade the year round-whether they
make or lose money. AS it is, the moment
the cotton steamers from Vicksburg and
Fort Adams come down light, and will an
swer any hail, even for pig or a coop of
chickens, then our coast shippers begin to
ship and travel on the very boats that de-
clined their patronage when they had any
thing else to do that paid them better
