Brohau, Carvalho Barbo,, Haseo aud Pa
iol. He was the instructor in pulpit ora
tory of Pere Lacordaire, Pere Hyaeinthe,
and the present able Of Noire Dame.
Notwithstanding the labor exaeted BY
his great speciality, he has done much
good work in various other directions.
mong his mechanical inventions are .
souaiype, tuning instrument, by means
of which any one can tune piano accur-
atply, an improved level, theodolite and
sextant, scale for measuring the differ
ences in tue solidity of fluids, e:e. Of
the conscientiousuess with which he works
it may be mentioned that he devoted i've
years to the study of anatomy and physi>
ology, to obtain perfect knowledge of all
the muscles, their uses and capabilities
a knowledge which he has utilized with
remarkable success.
DeIsarte has sought neither fame nor
wealth. lie could easily have secured
both by remaining on the stage as an ac-
tor. after he had lost his power as a vocal
ist. He preferred to surrender himself
in comparative retirement to the study Of
science and art, and the instruction of
those who sought his aid in mastering the
principles of the latter. To the needy
this instruction was impaired gratuitously,
and more than one successful actress has
been raised from penury TO fortune by the
benevolence of her teacher. 1t would be
easy to cite many illustrations Of the good
ness and tenderness of this man. Reli-
gious frrvor has largely influenced his life
and is the key note to his character but
his faith is not Ismpsred by bigoiry.
Like all minds Of high rank, he holds that
science and art are the han9maids Of re-
igion.
The personal appearance Of Delsarte is
said 10 be very impressive; years have
not dimmed the fire of his eye, nor de-
prived the massive form of its yigor. His
excellent wife is still living, and they have
two daughters and three sons. The war
of last summer whirled the sons into the
French army, while Delsarte with his
wife and daughters sought refuge in the
country. Their city house IS probably
destroyed, and the Atlantic writer thinks
it quite possible that Delsarte may be in>
duced TO remove to this country.

BACK AGAIN.-Parker Buckalew,
ESQ.,, of Dallas Tp., returned q few
days ago from visit of few weeks,
at his old home In Coshocton County,
Ohio, where he had not been before
for 10 years. As there are so many Of
our readers who came from that
County, they will doubtless feel inter-
ested to know show things look back
there" We understand the tenor of
Mr.. Buckalew's remarks about as
follows:- valleys there seem too
small, and the hills too high. The
people live in the same old houses they
used to occupy, 80 many years ago.
The population Of the County is less
than 1t was in 1860, by some 1900.
The country there don't look so well
settled as our own County, away tout
West" Many Of the residents there
are talking of moving out here. Quite
number will come soon. And for
ourselves we would say, Come on,
gentlemen. We have here the best
County Of the best State in the Union.
Come, and be welcome, and may you
prosper.

BUTLER, MISSOURI,
Feb. IL, 1871.

EDITOR VOTER:-For the sake Of old
acquaintance / will write hasty de-
scription of the winter, health, general
prosperity, &C., of our State and
County-more especially the latter.
Our Winter, we think, Is pretty rough
for the "sunny South" but we pre-
sumo that, according to a popular the
DRY Of the former settlers, 1t Is caused
by Northern immigration. The Yam
KEGS have brought their climate with
them.
Since Jan. 18th we have had two
very heavy SHOWS, the first averaging
from IL to Is inches in depth, the
present from 4 to 8 inches. Their
mometer ranges from 50 to illo. About
Jan. 10th severe storm Of sleet put
bur streets in fine order for skating.
Numerous boys were out cutting q
dash," and occasionally making q
"Spread Eagle;" and several Of our
citizens tested the solidity Of the side
walks. Health Is generally good. Our
town Is improving rapidly. We have,
during the past season, erected q very
fine Court House, and also q nice
School building-with the exception
Of the cupola and cracked bell. Two
fine brick Churches are in process OF
erection: q Baptist and Methodist
Episcopal; also, Parsonage belong
Ing to the NJ. E. Church. Work IL
going on rapidly on the L. L. 4 G. r..
r., within the limits Of our city, and
everything bids fair for prosperous
future. On the whole, we are not far
behind Iowa, II we are not In advance
oft. Your Friend,
MRS. M. WEIGH. !,
Iowa voter. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1867-1874, 1871-02-23

LEARNING "O."-One Of the nu.
merous school-ma' ANS In our County
has a little bit of o scholar who Is still
over the mysteries Of the
Alphabet-that hardest study in the
whole course OF human knowledge.
She got along very well with him till
he came down to O; and that ''stuck"
him; 1t was his st0mbling-block; he
could not learn that letter, anyhow
she could Ak It. The poor school
ma'am, faithful to her duty, tried ev-
cry way she could think Of to impress
the shape and name 81 the letter on
the little urchin's memory. bpti II was
mo CO." Finally bright idea struck
her; she would try him with an llus-
tration. Now aays sher ''what do
you say when you fall down and hurt
yourself?" '.Darn IL" responded the
youngster promptly-and doubtless
that letter II fixed In his memory %
.Darn It" to this day. And we sus-
pect that the modest monosyllable
"Ol" really means Darn Il, . or some
thing worse, with good many grown
people, upon occasion.

CAUGHT AT IT.-Some Of the.boys
around town engaged In general
game OF mischief and meanness last
Saturday night--tearing down and
moving signs and other movable ar
ticles, opening gates, breaking pump
handles, and performing other tricks
requiring about as much intelligence
and sense. One Of them was caught
at II, and Mayor Boydston bound him
over to Court in the sum Of $50; and
at the time of this writing another Of
the young sprouts was keeping HIM
self very scarce while the Marshal
was looking for him. We suppose
the boys who did the mischief thought
1t was fun. We hope they will see
their mistake before they get through,
and that they and the rest may profit
thereby.

RAILROADS MIxED.-The Gate city
of last Saturday has double-headed
paragraph about the "A. X. 4 D..
Railroad, Il as 1t says-evidently not
referring to the A. X. & d. at all, but
meaning the proposed Des Moines
Valley Branch Road. 1t remarks
"Our readers are already aware of
the fact that the Des MOines Valley
r. II. Company proposes to build u
branch of its road leaving the main
line at OskaloOsa and running directly
west through Knoxville to the Miss.
Ouri river. We see that the survey Of
the proposed new line has already
been commenced"
Then 1t quotes paragraph from the
Conservator, about the beginning of a
survey at Oskaloosa; then quotes our
remarks of last week about Col. Otley's
visit; then quotes remark from the
Herald, which wishes the proposed
Roadsto come to Oskaloosa; and Anal
ly the Gate adds:
''That the construction Of this pro-
posed branch will very materially
enhance the commercial interests OF
KeOkuk, is obvious, and our citizens
will doubtless watch Its progress with
interest"

HAMILTON, Iowa, !
Feb'y, 20, 1871. !

Ed. VoTER:-Please find enclosed
81, six months Subscription to the
Voter.
Mr.. Christofel, OF the A. X. 4 D.
r. r. Co., and our fellow-townsman
III. r. Munsell, have been securing
the Right of Way through our
Township. Capt. Porter Of Abba
and A. B. Lyman Of this TIP. are en-
gaging tlmbers for piles to be de-
livered along the. line Of the Road,
giving employment to men and
teams-which begins TO look like
business. Mr.. Grinnell says work
will be pushed a. soon a. the frost y

THE INDIAN NAMEs.-Mr. r. r.
Watts, one of the Old Settlers Of the
County, tells US something about the
Indian names Of creeks around here.
Whitebreast creek, which runs north
easterly through this Township, they
called "Wapekakienoc-sepO," because
at some time they had killed on ita
banks bear with q white breast-the
word 'sepo'' meaning creek. Teter
creek, small brooklet few miles
northwest OF town. they called "Wy-
pienoc-sepo," or Camp creek. Eng
lish creek, which runs northeasterly
through this Tp., they called "Sock.
eloshus-sepo"-which, we suppose,
was Indian for ''Sockdolager."

BOILER EXPLOSION AT MONROE
Late on Wednesday evening the boiler
in Echenck 4 Dix's Touring mill at
Monroe, exploded, completely demol-
ishing the boiler room, and seriously
damaging several houses In the vicin-
ity. The boiler was thrown c0nsid-
arabic distance from Its bed, while
pieces OF the building, coal, and other
articles were hurled with fearful force
several hundred feet. Fortunately no
