THE friends of each Senatorial
candidate are not lacking for rea-
sons why their lavoritcs should be
successful. These reasons are some
times torcible and again feeble.
sometimes commonplace and some
of them very peculiar. OF the lat
ter class are the following, urged
by " ashington correspondent of
the Des Moines Register, in behalf
of Mr.. Harlan. If Harlan, "Chris-
tian gentleman" as he is, does not,
on his return to Washington, hunt
up that correspondent and choke him
| until he swears to write no more
letters in his favor, then is Mr.. Har-
Ian Il Christian in his forbearance:
"Senator Harlan is now one of
the oldest members Of the Senate,
and by all odds the shrewdcst and
best manipulation in that body
He has a fine mansion here. He
was for year, Chairman OF the Sen
ate Committee on the District OF
Columbia and has always bee. an
earnest friend and advocate of all
means before Congress calculated
to in amy way promote the interests
| of the District. These things of
course make him a pet OF the people
in this District. Then he has sur
rounded himself with a class Of in
| tluential men here, many true men,
and others from other States. These
men have generally been successful
in business, and are influential
| Then it is notorious that it was
mainly the efforts Of Senator Harlan
that Senator Cameron, the old sue
cesstul Statesman Of PENNSYLVANIA,
was made Chairman Of the Commit
tee Of Foreign Affairs in place of
| Charles Sumner-Sumner being no
tavorite of the people Of this Dis
trict, Independent Of his opposition
to the annexation of San Domingo.
Then DR.. Newman, our great preach
cI, is anxious for the election of
Senator Harlan as a Christian gen
tleman, and | am sure that Chris
tian gentlemen are needed in the
Senate ut all times"

The Des Moines Register thus
limns somebody, but who is the
original Of the portrait we cannot
imagine. Label it Ret:
The smiling prophet and editorial seer
we have had among us in Iowa for several
years, who has been so wonderfully apt
in trying to convince elected men that he
WAS the identical, generous individual
who first nominated them, and yet so
wonderfully unsuccessful in convincing
who has harmless habit Of taking AS
pirants for office under his wing, setting
up stakes for them in the different coun
ties, and slipping in editorials making
gods OF them in different papers-this
combined prophet, seer. trainer, stalker,
and siipperin, is at it again, and has
named the man who is to beat Harlan-
which is an ominous thing for the man.

THE Iowa City Press edited by
John p. Irish the pet of the young
Democracy, is endeavoring to make
capital against DR.. Bulls, Republi-
can nominee for Lieut.. Governor, by
shameless attacks upon his personal
character. 1t is ever the case that
those who are destitute of character
themselves are unwilling to acknowl-
edge its existence in others. The
ms and oats Of politics can present
nothing more absurdly ridiculous
than the spectacle of a man with
the character Of John Irish gravely
calling in question the integrity Of
such man as pr. Bulls.

WE are surprised to see lie suc

gestion from the Ottumwa Conrier
that E. c. David holds appointment
as postal agent on Mr.. Allison's
recommendation. The editor of the
Conrisr was himself the candidate
for the position against David, and
we think we could on a pinch fur
nish evidence in Gen. Hedrick's
own hand writing, that he was the
man whose appointment Mr.. Allison
favored in common with the entire
Iowa delegation.

WATCH, MOTHER.

Motheri watch the little feet
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall.
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs,
Little feet will 90 astray-
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother, watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in ii sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
why to me this weary task?"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers of light and love.
Motherl watch the little tongue
Prattling, eloquent and wild;
What is said and what is sung
BY the happy, joyous child.
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the VOW before tits broken
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in Saviour's name.
Eotheri watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for you;
Who esowe lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep the young heart true.
Extracting every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed
Harvest rich you then may see,
Rfpen1ng for eternity.

ssTHANK GOD FOR Sunday, :

Now God be thanked. That He has given
Best boon to saint and sinner
A day Of rest-one day in seven,
Where toll is not the winner;
Rest for the tired aud faded brain,
The weaTied hand, on SUNDAY,
That they might gather Ttreng 9Th again
For toll renewed on Monday.
The merchant in bis oounting-room,
The clerk DER desk and ledger,
The artisan st forge or loom,
The ditcher ana the hedger-
The laboIer who must toll and slave
From early dawn Of Monday
Until the week sinks in its grave,
All cry: Thank God for Sundayl"
The day that lifts the veighty chain
Which all the week hath bound us;
That respite gives TO heart and brain,
From thousand cares around us;
That in the tollSome n arch OF life
SO bids US take, for one day,
Rest from the battle and the strife;
Obi God be thanked for Sunday
II thus by all one day OF rest
Be hailed, as respite solely,
How TO the Christian doubly blest
Must be the Sabbath Holy;
AS, in faiths light, he lifts his eyes
To the bright world where, one day,
He longs to spend beyond the skies,
One blest, eternal Sunday

A MAN in Kentucky, who lately found
a lock of hair imbedded in tree, has re-
ceived a solution of the mystery in the
following communication:
In olden times when wizard cures for
diseases were more in vogue than at the
present day, cure phthisic was prescrib-
ed as follows: Take lock of hair from
the head Of q patient, especially child,
and bore hole in the tree, place the hair
in the hole, and then plug the hole up.
The simultaneous growth of the child and
the tree takes the malady from the child,
and is supposed to be transmitted to the
trees.
