The MEN Who SUCCEED IN BUsI.
NEss.-By no means the least useful
and interesting portions OF live
newspaper are found in the columns
edited by the public, that is 10 say,
the advertising department. No
matter how we'll the editorials may
be written or how graphically the
news may be presented, none Of these
carefully elaborated or judiciously
condensed columns "come home to
the business and bosoms" OF some
readers moro effeotualiy than new
advertisements do to others. Whom
the advertising columns arc occupied
by dreary, prosy, long affairs, 70.
peated day after day and month af-
ter month, people tire ofseeing thom.
They are not features Of busy, but Of
stagnant life. But whom advertise
ments now cvory morning, short,
crisp, and to the point, meet the
readers eye, he feels that tho world
moves, and he is inspired to move
with it. There is something inspiri-
ting and cheerful, encouraging and
hopeful, in tho very look Of we'll filled
advertising columns. The mon who
succeed best in business and keep up
with the times are those who not
only read the advertisements dill
gently, but. who do their share IN
Keeping them sever charming, ever

In tho absence of Gen'l. Hcdrick,
at Washington, We take occasion to
publish tho following complimentary
notice of him clipped from tho Dallas
Co. Gazette:
Worry recent advice states that
General J. NJ. Hedrick, OF tho Ot-
tMnssoa Courier has been appointed
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue.
vice Maj. Drummond. The State
could not perhaps furnish more
worthy man for this position, or one
better capable Of performing the
duties incumbent upon this office.
Gen. Hedrick served with distinc.
tion during the war, was wound
cd at Shiloh, and still latter at
tho great and memorable battle be-.
fore Atlanta on the 22d of July, the
Same day and field upon which the
gallant MCPHERSON fell. The latter
wound he is still suffering from, and
doubtless will never fully recover.
He is also man OF more than ordi-
nary affability and social qualities,
and the high esteem in which his
subordinates held him, is the best
evidence Of his generous disposition
towards his fellow man. His politi.
cal course has always boon consis.
tent, and as an editor he has few if
any superiors in tho west us his
sharp and spicy editorials fully
attest.

sigourney and its Railroads.

Lafayette, the last township,
gives twenty majority for taxation" /"
Such istho announcement made in
the Sigourney Ne,os Of the 9th inst,
with rooster jubilant and rooster de-
spondont, illustrating " For Taxation"
and "No Taxation" respectively
This vote, ~ We understand mat
tors, is for the construction Of the
Cedar Rapids and st. Louis Railroad
tho other day we Inadvertently
called it the Ottumwa and st. Paul
Railroad-which, If We are mot MIS-
taken, is to connect st. Louis, Of
tumwa, Cedar Rapids and st. Paul.
The railroad nomenclature of the
country il one Of the most bptheripg
things . newspaper man has to deal
with. However, we hope now We
have recorded Sigourney right, and
trust the day il not far distant when
she will be connected not only with
Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa, but
with Washington to the east and Os-
kaloosa to the west. A fine county,
that Of Keokuk, full Of good people
and deserving even of more railroads
than we have designated.-Dapen-

D1ATH IN THE LAMp.-So many of
the illuminating fluids in the market
are OF an explosive nature that ex-
tremo caution is necessary in buying
them. The ,Fire-Narshal Of New
York city reports one hundred and
fifty-seven fires in 1870, Of which
eighteen per cent were caused BY
poor kerosene and the dangerous
compounds that are used in place of
kerosene, while seventeen deaths
wore caused by the explosion OF
these fluids. A recent inspection of
the stocks of the dealers in kerosene
oil and substances sold for it in that
oity, showed that ninety-six per
cent OF the whole number were sell
ing . dangerous article, liable, to
bring death and destruction into the
house whore it is used, at any mo-

The Davenport Democrat tells this
story: "One OF tho eighteen divor.
ces which were dockotcd for this
term of court, has Dissolved into q
complete froshet Of re-estAblished
domestic bliss. Little quarrels,,
mutual chickering's and divided in
forests are ail squelched. Cousselor
Nash, with his blandest emilio, had
arranged oil things nicely, the pa
pers were al made out, all things
were ready. The expensive portion
Of the arrangement was over; when
the white winged messsngsr Of peace,
waving their olive-branch, brought
them together for . final interview,
tho light Of other days which had
faded again illumined the lsdy's face,
hopes renewed lit up the husbands
with smile. A tear was in her
eye, ball was in his throat: thoy
rushed into each others arms, and
renewed the pledge ofaffection. The

The Oskaloosa Herald says, that
Mr.. Joy, will connect with his St.
Louis l. Kcokuk railroad, which oar
people know Wolf, Carpenter 4 Co.
are now constructing, with tho
Central Iowa Railroad, at
Hannibal, the Central being extended
to that point. This, We suppose, il
TO DO done, because running arrange
ments cannot be made with the North
Mo. road, by extending the Central
to Moulton. Then tho Herald face
tiously remarks: "In that case tho
plug from Bloomfield to Ottumwa
would be moro for ornament than use.'
Now our Oskaloosa friends arc en-
titled to these little ebulitions Of
spleen. It is really a crum Of COM
fort, no doubt, to, call our road q
plug, but as long as we have got the
road, we can well afford to let our
neighbors ease themselves, ad libitu,n
Of their bile. This statement OF the
Herald only confirms our understand
ing that the Central was body and
'breeches tho property Of Joy, and
that it will be run in the interest Of
his groat through Eastern line, and
hence DO shorn Of the great benefit Of
o north and SO nth road to the people.

President Grant in his message to

Enthusiastically Of this happy union of

ambition. Tho cherished aspiration
for national unity, which for ngcs has
inspired tho many millions OF people
speaking tho same language and in
habiting q contiguous and compact
territory, but unnaturally separated
and divided by dynastic jealousies
and tho ambition of short.sishted
rulers, has been attained, and Ger

its several members the right and
power Of control Of their local in

bringing of great masses of thought
