The Poor and the Poor House.

Editor advertiser find in reading
the official proceedings of the last ses-
sion of the Board of Supervisors Of Cs-
dar county the folio wing resolution, ia
wit:
Lesolued, That the County Auditor be
required to notify the Township trustees
that all persons who are receiving aid
from the county, who are properly coun-
ty charges, must be sent to the county
Poor Farm by the LIST Of December, a.
no allowance will be made by the Board
after that date.
Now, Mr.. Editor, this resolution is so
palpable q violation of the laws Of our
State that think 1t should not be per
mitted 10 pass by unheeded withou.
comment or inquiry.
Therefore, I take the liberty to call
the attention of your many readers to
an act Of the 18th General Assembly en-
titled " An act to provide for the relief
of certain classes Of INDECENT persons "
approved April 9th, 1868. Sections and
2 OF which read a. follows:
SEC. l. Be it enacted! By the General
Assembly Of the State Of Io,Oa That
the city council of any incorporated city
of the first class, and the TOWNSHIP trus-
tees of any township In this State, are
hereby, and 1t II made their duty to
provide for the relief of such poor per-
sons in their respective cities aud town.
ships, a. should not in their judgment
be sent to the county poor house: Pro-
vided, That the amount paid for, or in
aid Of the support Of such poor persons
may be supplied to them either in the
form Of food, rent, clothing, fuel and
light, medical attendance, or in money,
and shall not exceed two dollars per
week for each person for whom relief is
thus furnished, exclusive Of medical
attendance.
SEC. 2. In us case shall the widows or
families of Iowa soldiers, or other per
sons In families requiring public relief.
be sent to the county poor house when
thoy can, and prefer to be relieved out
Of the poor house to the extent above
provided.
must confess, Mr.. Editor. that when
I read in your reliable paper the report
Of the foregoing resolution, the first
thought was that you were perpetrating
. joke upon your readers, but upon re-
Election I knew that you were incapable
of such thing. It then struck me that
perhaps it was q rsvamping, or rather q
new edition Of the old fabulous story
of the ingratitude of republics;but that
the families Of men who had lost health,
wealth and even life in defence Of their
country, even among us here, as they
arc In every neighborhood Of the State
We are proud to be considered citizens
OF. Now, sir, think that every one
acquainted with the subject will see
without much reflection that our State
legislation in snseting the above, were
governed only by motives sf HUMAN be.
nevolence, patriotism and wise scono,

1t appears that the sessions Of the
Senate Finance Committee in session at
Warrington were not harmonious.
They were characterized by discussions
which demonstrated that tho members
thereof were variance in their opinions
of the existing tariff laws, and the man
ner in which they should be amended.
In the absence of any agreement as to
what specific commodities should be
relieved, 1t was the Informal understand
ing that the committee should make no
report to the Senate, but should rather
wait until the Ways and Means Com
mittee had been announced in the
House, and then consult with the latter
as to reduction of 10 per cent on i'm
ports of alt kinds.

It is impossible for u to lay before our
readers with this weeks paper, the ex-
cellent message of President Grant,
which was presented to Congress Oh
Monday, and promulgated through the
daily papers on the following day. The
message finds little save favorable criti.
cism In its reception in all parts Of the
country. The topics presented are those
of greatest interest to the country, and
the expression regarding them is that
which must find favor with thoughtful
citizens Of the United States.

1t cannot with any plausibiIity be
contended that the resolution of the
Board was dictated by motives Of econ.
omy, for no one. will pretend that any
of the persons asking and obtaining re-.
lief can be boarded, clothed, lodged aud
nursed for the sum of $500 per week.
Perhaps it may be said by the Supervis.
ors, or their apologists, that many
persons needing relief might be deferred
from making application on being In.
formed that such application would
consign them to the common poor
house.
Do the christian people Of the county
desire that this class OF persons should
suffer from hunger and cold when all
they are disposed to ask Is y little tenn
porary relief. l think that few among
those calling themselves christians
would acknowledge themselves govern
ed by such motives.
But now indulge me while l make =
few inquiries.
Did the Board OF Supervisors when
they adopted the above resolutions in.
tend to reject, or set aside, an act Of our
Legislature? l do not see how the
matter can be viewed in any other light.
Some Of their apologists may assert that
the members Of the Board did not know
the law upon this subject. But it ap.
pears to me that there is no excuse for q
public officer which can justify his neg.
lect 60 make himself acquainted with
the laws Of tho State defining his
powers and duties. I understand that
it is said by one of the Board, that we
have u poor house and farm and why
not send all Of the poor there? Would
the astute member think it = credit to
our county to publish tho fact that there
are a large number Of paupers In our
poor house, or does he think that the
filling VI. Of the institution can justify
the expenditure Of the purchase and i'm
provement Of the poor house and farm?
Perhaps it might be imagined that the
filling up of the present accommodations
might make All excuse for another job
in the shape of further expenditure tor
new buildings. Now / am not spelling
for fight. but have put this chip on
my shoulder and very much want to
see the boy who dares knock it of.

A NICE GIRL.

Though that class of girls is by no means
extinct, still they are not so numerous as
might be wished. There is nothing half
so sweet in life, half so delightful, or so
lovable as a nice girl. Not u pretty, or q
dashing girl but nice girl One of those
lovely, likely, good hearted, sweet faced
amiabe, neat natty, domestic creatures,
met within the sphere of "home," ditfusing
around the influence of her goodness. like
the essence of sweet flowers.
a nice girl is not the languishng beauty
drawing on the sofa, and discussing the
last novel, or opera, or the giralleing like
creature sweeping majestically through the
drawing room. The nice girl may not even
play or dance well, and knows nothing
about using her eyes, or coquctting with a
fan. She never languishes, she is too active.
She is not given to sensitive novels, she is
TOO busy. In the opera she is not in front
to show her shoulders she sits quiet and
unoOstrusive at the back of the bon, most
likely. In fact its not often we dicover
her. Home is her place.
Who rises betmcs and supcrintends the
morning meal Who makes the toast, and
the tea, and buttons the boys shirts, and
waters the flowers, and feeds the chickens.
and brightcns up the parlor, and sitting
room Is it the languishcr, or the giraflee,
or the 'elcgante ?'
Not bit OF it; its the nice young girl.
Her maiden toilets is made in the short
est possible time, yet how charmingly done,
and how elegant her neat dress and collar
Breakfast over, down to the kitchen to
see about dinner, and Off day she is up and
down, always cheerful and light hearted.
She never ceases to be active and useful
uatil the day is gone, when she will polka
with the boys, or read, or sing old songs
and play old tunes to her father and mother
or hours together. She is perfect treasure
she who attends with unwearying patience
in the sick chamber. There is no risk, no
fatigue that she will not undergo no sacri
flee that she will not make. She is all love,
all devotion. l have often thought ii would
be happiness to be i'll to be watched by such
loving eyes, and tended by such fair hands.
One of the most strongly marked char
acteristics of mice grip is tidincss and
simplicity of dress. She is invariably as
sociatCd in my mind with a high frOck,
plain collar, and the neatest ofneck ribbons,
bound with the most modest little brooch

we merely admire as we 90 by. 1t is where

THERE was an immense meeting Of the
taxpayers of New York city, at Cooper
Institute, on the 11th inst, TO consider
the recent grave charges Of corruption and
peculation made against the city officials.
EX-Mayor William L. HavcmCyer presided
and among the prominent men on the plat
form were Henry ClCwes, s,eX-SheritfO'Brien
Peter Cooper, Marshall o. Roberts, Moses
Taylor and John Jacob Astor. A series
of twelve resolutions were adopted, which
declare the city and county debt more than
doubled within the last two and half
years, being new $ll3, ,0O0,0 900, or over $685.,
600, 900 more than when Mayor Hall was
first inaugurated. 1t is also believed that
many millions more will be paid out on
floating and contingent claims unless the
present officials are removed, or their pro-
ccodiugly arrested. The fourth resolution
directed duplicates William Nj. Tweed,
Richard b. Connolly, and a. Oakley Hall,
as the parties who should be arryed at the
bar of public opinion for these offences.
Speeches were made by eX-MayOr Have
meyer. Judge Emott, Oswald O. Ottendor-
fer, Hon. Il. r. Roosevelt, Ex-Governor
Solomon, and Hon. Edwards Pierreront.
The meeting was composed of members of
all political parties, and the speeches were
both from Republicans and Democrats.
Concerning this meeting, the New \ Gork
Tribune of Tuesday says: "No incident in
the political history Of New \ York for many
years has given us so much hope for the
future Of the metropolis as the meeting last
night al Cooper Institute.
Deep as the Indignation of the people has
been over the recent disclosures OF fraud,
earnest as close observers have seen the
popular purpose to be to put an end to this
wholesale swinding ut once and forever,
few were prepared for such an imposing
demonstration as this, which assured us
that at heart the rank and file ofthe Demo-
cracy as we'll rs Of the Republican party
are friends OF honest government and the
bitter enemies ofCvcrY species Of fraud. y

which ii opened last night, and the inlamy
