In the little town of Hamburg, Iowa,
the town calabooose took fire and burned
on Wednesday morning of last week.
The Marshal was active in saving the lit
tie furniture therein lmperilled. After
daylight it was discovered there was a
poor fellow, a prisoner, burned up in the
building. He was in for drunkenness.
An occurrence of this kind occurred in
Massillon a few years ago.

PREsIDENr GRANT recently appointed
Daniel Blakely, an INSCRIPTIONS pohti-
clan, pension agent at Chicago, removing
a gallant soldier in the civil war to make
the appointment. Since the change was
made a letter written by Blakley a year
ago, on Grant, of the most abusive de-
scription, has been brought to light in
Washington, but the papers there refuse
to print it because of its extreme charac-
ter. 1t must be very bad, but 3 large
proportion of the Radical politicians are
IN The Same boat as Blakeley, in putting
on record within . year very harsh opin-
ions Of Ulysses.

May r~ecollect the day,
When times were smooth and lovely
Under Democratic sway.
A huge oppressive Public Debt
Was not known in the land,
And Higher Law" was not in power
To use the tyrant's brand
The youthful RAIDS may ask their dads,
Hthess things are not so.
Nor think 1t strange WE curse the change
Often short years ago.
Hostility 70 Negro rule
Thay always would proclaim;
Nor did they wish TO negroize
The fair Caucasian nanei
But peu ct peu, they swallowed all,
Tho, much against their viii;
And hating Democrats so bad,
They took The tooouypM.
The youthful RAIDS may ask their dads,
IfRu this Is not so,
Eor think 1t strange, zoe mourn the change
Often short years ago.
The bloody drama. all for power,
Al first to 1uave the Union"
Was all the .loyRf' plan;
But .sHigher Law soon showed its fangs,
And still maintains its sway.
Still reconstructs our Polands
Though the war has passed away.
Nov, youthful RAIDS, just ask your dads,
That Is, IL you don't knoW,
And you with me, may mourn the spree
Began ten years ago.
There's Grant 4 Co. at Washington
Are fixing up the thing
Tokeep our Polands under,
And perpetuate their ring;
They know the honest people
Do not endorse their course,
And so, like other tyrants,
They depend ON fraud and force.
No youthful tad, need ask his dad,
Hall these things are so,
This tyrant rule. none but a fool
Can fail to SEQ and know.

Russell elf aEing Reauer,


The above cut is a fair represent alton Of the
Russell Self-Raking Reaper. which We claim en-
braces more points of excellence than any other
machine in the market.
LIST. 1t is entirely under the control of the dri-
yer, will rake as often as desired, or can be set to
a k once every revolu ion, or will carry the sheaf
as far as desired, thus adapting it to all kinds,
qualities and conditions of grain.
I'd. Tue weight Of the Rake and Reaping At
tachment Is hung on pivots in the centre of the
Truck FRAME, so that there is no more weight on
one wheel thar. on the other; by this arrange
ment the Truck has much greater freedom than
when the attachment is hung on one side, and
yet the hnger-bar has all the hexibility desired.
Sd. The Rake is driven by a sprocket wheel,
chain and gear Wheels so that a flexible yet posi-
tive motion is secured.
18th. The centre head is high, and not liable to
fill up with grain and straw.
9th. The Rake Arms are so attached to the
centre head that they can be adjusted 70 work as
desired, and will so remain any length OF time.
9Th. The Rake heads are broad AID provided
with Reels, so that they will gather all the grain
in front of the machine, and deposit it upon the
platform in good order to be delivered.
s 18th. The sheaf is deposited upon the ground in
good condition for binding, and out of the way OF
the team On a return cut.
sth- The Machine is in perfect balance, so that
1t can be handled as easily as a cart.
9TH It has so many good qualities, II must be
seen to be appreciated
10th. We invite you to call and see it before
purchasing.
