THE INFLUENCE OF EXAMPLE.-Men'S
lives are pages of history. Those who
read are stimulated to good deeds there
by, or taught to avoid the mistakes
such lives record. There cannot be too
much said, or written, to encourage men
of wealth to devote their leisure and
money towards developing the beautiful
in Nature, recovering and regenerating
waste places, and affording men with
less means and opportunities for the
study of rural art. The influence of an
example of good taste in the adornment
of single place in neighborhood or
town, reaches far into the future and
molds more than most men think, the
external features of that neighborhood
or town, and affects more ultimately the
lives of those whom it influences. If
one man plants tree his neighbor
wants one. If one house wife has a
flower pdrterre, another is not insensible
to the enthusiasm with which the first
exhibits and praises her floral pets. If
one man sees his neighbor clearing out
an old swamp, a ravine, or rough place
of any sort, and converting its rude an
gularities into symmetrical lines of beau
ty, he ever after looks upon the rough
places of his own domain with the pos
sibilities of what it may become in his
minds eye, and realizes, sooner or later,
the ideal beauty which the realization
of his neighbors have established.

Borrowed garments seldom fit well.
Haste often trips up its own heels.
A fool generally loses his estate before
he finds his folly.
A man that boards his riches, and en-
joys them not, is like an ass that carries
gold and eats thistles.
Towers are measured by their shad-
ows and great men by their calumnia-
tors.
True courage and love are the sylla-
bles of faith.
The chains of habit are generally too
small to be felt till they are too strong
to be broken.
There is an efficacy in calmness, of
which we are unaware. The element of
serenity is one which we peculiarly need.
If good people would but make good
ness agreeable, and smile instead of
frowninS in their virtue, how many
would they win to the good cause.
Thinkers are as scarce as gold; but he
whose thoughts embraces all his objects,
pursues it unweariedly, and fearless of
the consequences, is diamond of enor-
nous size.
Every desire bears its death in its
qualification. Curiosity languishes un-
der stimulants, and novelties cease to
excite surprise until at length We cannot
even wonder at miracle.
What world of gossip would be pre-
vented if it was only remembered that
person who tells you of the faults of
others, intends to tell others of your
faults.
Obscurity leaves man free, bnt a fa-
nous man is a slave to his fame. In
cense is bought dear. Uneasy lies the
head that wears crown, though the
crown may be of laurels.

Taxing Railroads.

An application was recently made
before Judge Dillon, United States
circuit judge, by the Pacific railroad
company for an Injunction to restrain
the collection OF $25,000-taxes lew
led or the property OF said road tor
state, county, school and city pur-
poses. Judge Dillon held that the
claims setsup by the railroad compa-
ny that by its charter OF incorpora-
ton it was not the intention OF the
legislature of Iowa to grant the CON-
pany perpetual exemption from
taxation, but that the grant was one
OF favor only, repealable at the pleas
ure OF the legislature. and at all
events extend to only state tax prop
er and not 10 county, school and city
taxation, and then refused 10 grant
the injunction asked for to prevent
the collection OF the tax levied on the
property of the railroad for county,
city and school purposes. This is
very important decision to counties
and cities in which railroad property
is located, as i. will add very largely
to the taxable property OF large
number Of counties and cities
through which railroads run, which
property has not hitherto been taxed
like other property for county school
and city purposes.

gala day of the occasion. It was
soon seen that the great throng was
fast multiplying, and, up to the hour
of noon, they were still coming from
10000 to $4,000 people were sup
posed to be present at this particular
time. How gratifying to the mind
to behold this vast assembly bent on
the enjoyment Of sightseeing, vieing
with each other in polite address and
affable effusions, exchanging pleas
ant smiles and copious invitations,
without any apparent distrust such
are the benefits of such meeting.-
But, as evening draws near, the
crowds melt away partly to be re-
newed on the morning of Friday
THIS was the final day. The grand
march OF all the prize animals in line,
led by the brass band, drew on the
retiring interest while the assembly
stood spell bound gazing on the
magnificent scene before them, long
to be remembered as the most suc-
cessful fair ever held in the State of
Iowa. CRYSTAL.

Let the Prairie Chickens Alone.

EDITOR HoMEsrEAD:-I see an edi-
toria! in the Homestead of Dec. 9th,
headed LET the Quails Alone" All
right, and I would add, let the prai
rie chickens alone also. From an ex-
perlence Of twelve years, I am salts
fed that the farmer has no better
friend among the feathered tribe
than the prairie chicken, and l have
been sorry to see the wholesale
slaughter that has been made Of them
Every observing farmer must know
that the common grasshopper would
become burden if the prairie chick.
ems and quails were all destroyed,
for l think it can be proved to
demonstration, the prairie chickens
will destroy the Colorado potato
bug. For three years have proved
it to my satisfaction that the chick
ems did destroy the bugs. Having
planted patch OF potatoes near the
house, and another patch sixty rods
from the house each year, those near
the house were nearly destroyed by
the bugs, while those at the back end
OF the farm received little or no in
jury from the bugs. And again,
should Iowa, or any part OF it, be
visited by the army grasshopper or
the locust, plenty of prairie chickens
would do much to abate the nuis-
ance. But some will say the chick
EMS destroy our crops. l must say |
have never been able to discover any
damage done to any crops by them,
and If they do take a few grains
now and then, it is certainly far
more than over balanced by the
good they do in destroying those in
sects, which would destroy our crops
it we had no birds to destroy them.
Now, farmers, what do you say !?
Shall we not have a law to protect
prairie chickens the same as quails,
not for FIVE years but for all time ?
Who among you have not been an
noyed by chicken hunters trailing
through your meadows with guns on
their 81 oulders and dogs at their
heels !? Ishould like to hear from
others on this subject. w. II. S.

Something About Teeth.

Why do some peoples teeth come
out more readily than others? The
reasons for this are probably many.
About the middle of the las. century
Peter Kahn, a Swede. visited Amer.
lea, and wrote sensibly about what
lie saw. He observed frequent loss
OF teeth among settlers from Europe,
especially women. After discussing
and rejecting many modes of explain
alton, he attributed it to hot tea and
other hot beverages; and came to
general conclusion that "hot feeders
lose their teeth more readily than
cold feeders" Mr.. Cat!in, who some
yearsago had an interesting exhibition
OF Indian scenery, dresses, weapons,
ETC., noticed that North American In
dians have better teeth than tho
whites. He accounts for the differ
ence in this strange way-that ths
reds keep the mouth shut, whereas
the whites keep it open. The teeth,
he says, require moisture to keep
their surfaces IN good working order /;
when the mouth is open the muscous
membrane has tendency to dry up,
the teeth lose their needed supply of
moisture, and thence come dlscolora.
ton, toothache, tlcdoloureaux, decay,
loosness and eventual loss OF teeth.
Mr.. Catlin scolds the human race gen.
orally for being less sensible than the
brutes in this respect, and the white
race especially in comparison with
the red. We keep our mouths open
far too much; the Indian warrior
sleeps, hunts, and smiles with his
mouth shut, and respires through his
nostrils. Among the virtues atth-
buted by him to closed lips, one is
excellent-when you are angry,
keep your mouth shut.-[Chamber's
Journal.

Massachusetts, Politics.

The Bay State, as everybody
knows, is Overwhelmingly Repubii-
can in politics, and has been from the
first. 1t never took kindly to the
Democratic party. At the outset of
our national career, Thomas Jeffer-
son, the bitter rival of Massachusetts
favorite son, John Adams, was the
leader of the party since known as
Democracy. It. has only been upon
rare occasions that the State has
been carried against the party which
boasts IN its three epochs the names
Of Hamilton and Adams, Clay and
Webster, Seward and Sumner.
The next election in that Com
monwealth will occur the same day
as our own, November 7. The Dem
ocrats are not without some slight
hope of winning victory. The rem
egade younger Adams is their stan.
dard bearer. He is not specially
popular nor specially obnoxious. He
relies manly upon the traditions of
the family. The name he bears is
honorable, yet he could not, under
ordinary circumstances, draw off any
considerable number of votes from
the Republican party. As it is, he
will doubtless make large gain over
last year, but fall far short Of bearing
off the gubernatorial prize.
The Butler candidacy has proved
an apple of discord in the Republi-
can party Of Massachusetts. The
General is venomous man, and has
the faculty Of calling forth the more
venomous hostility. During the war
he was hated by rebels and copper
heads with a perfect hatred. In Con-
gress ne is an Ishmaelite. In his
Congressional district there is an en-
inently respectable minority reso-
lutely opposed to him. In the State
are thousands of Republicans who
would prefer John Quincy Adams to
Benjamin F. Butler. If defeated for
the nomination he will probably run
as an independent candidate. II
nominated, the opposition will prob
ably put up another man. In any
event, then, we may expect trian-
angular contest for the Govcrnorship
of Massachusetts.
The prohibitory liquor question
enters into the preliminary campaign,
and will probably play conspicuous
part to the end. The State has long
had very stringent law, but it IS
not enforced, except very rarely. A
traveller finds no difficulty in getting
all the brandy and whlskey he wants,
even though the venier knows that
the stranger may be aspy of the con-
stabulary. This state OF things has
become disgusting. Either enforce
the law or repeal it, is the prevailing
feeling among the people. General
Butler is not teetotaler himself, yet
he has promised, if elected, to en-
force the law, and he has such an ex.
ecutive turn OF mind that he would
probably keep his pied ge. This con-
sideration makes him large class Ct
desperate enemies, and quite large
class of equally rssolute friends.
Men who would otherwise shrink
with loath:ng from Butler are now
attracted to him by the conviction
that a reform, for which they labored
hard and hopelessly. might be realiz-
ed under his administration.
Such is the anomalous condition of
political affairs in the ancient and
honorable Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts. A more incongruous mud
die could hardly be conceived
