To she Honorable the C0unty Commis ON
ers for the County Of Cumberland.

To ,hc Honorable the County Commission-
ers for the COunty Of Cumberland.
NyHE undersigned, citizens of Cumberland county,
Il respectfully represent that the Indexes of the
Records in the Cumberland Registry of Deeds are
very unsatisfactory in their arrangement and general
conditions that they are erroneous in the matter Of
entries; some Of the books are much worn and soed
requiring immediate rewriting while others are very
obscurely written and liable to lead errors and the
method of indexng formerly in is entirely made
quate to the demands of SO extensive records thus
making the work Of searching extremely laborious
and unreasoDably inconvenient
We further represent that Mr.. E. Leach has UNDER
taken and partially completed strictly Alphabeti-
cal Index to the whole series of Records from the
date of the incorporation of the county in 76O to the
present time; and that said Index when completed
Is calculated to much labor and expense in the
consultation Of the records, to expedite the transac-
ton of business and to add greatly to
of the public
We therefore respectfully request the Commission
ers to examine the work of MIR. Leach and to ascer-
tain his price for the same; and If satisfied of the In
creased advantages possessed by MI. Leach's index
to purchase the same, IL it be obtained for rea
sonabe sum- and to cause it to be completed for the
use Of the public.
We also request You to name a place and an early
time for hearing of your petitioners.

M, Mario's present visit to this country re-
calls to mind the sharpest witticism of Mad
anne Grisi, at the time his wife, and one of the
best bits Of repartee on record. King Louis
Philippe Tor some other sovereignty, passing
through room where Grisi stood holding
two Of her yonng children by the hand, said
gaily: "Ah madame, are those, then, some
of your little Grisettes?" 'sNo, sire," was
the quick reply, perfect in every requirement
ofthe pun, ''no, sire, these are my little. Ma
rionettes.''
The writer Of few years ago might have
SAID "He laughed, she wept." Perhaps the
poet ofa more civilized age would write; ''He
tears of disappointment" But nowadays
the ambitious young writer must produce
something like this: "a hard, fendish laugh,
scornful and ptiless, forced its passage from
his throat, through the lips that curled in
mockery other appeal; she covered her des-
pairing face, and a gust and whirlwind of
sorrowing agony burst forth in her irresistible
tearsp'
Max Adeler says that Mrs. Smith was thus
addressed by her new Chinese servant, when
he wanted to know if he should bring up
pail of water: ''Would the beauteous dove
who broods like an angel of peace over this
fair haven of domestic felicity, cooling soft
notes to her affectionate mate, desire me to
conduct the wooden vessel from the sublime
subterranean apartment where they are ex-
cluded from the glance of her soft ewes ?',
Mrs. Smith thinks the Chinese much exec,
the French in pOliteness.
This is the way in which the ancient and
venerable Rudersdoff struck an Oswego
youth: ITO tell you how she sung would be
impossible, but if one may compare an object
OF sight to one of sound, would say that her
voice is like rocket, which from the first
bursts upon the sight with magniilcence
that claims undivided attention, and in an in
stant, carries your attention from earth TO hea-
ven, where it bursts into 10000 orbs OF glory

The Iowa Legislature adjourned {

The Iowa Legislature adjourned on
the 23l Of April. The house, under the
lal Of Kassou with such ignoramuses
as Danforth and Bergh of Winneshiek,
carried on a small war upon the news
papers of the State. The Senate, how
ever, took from one dealer in cheap lit
erature and peanuts $5946,25 worth of
truck, and before it would agree to any
appropriation bill Of any kind the house
was compelled to pay for the pictorials
used by the Senate, Kasson being one
of the first to come down. The little
fellows all followed. But seriously we
don't blame the Legislature for striy-
ing to keep its work out of the papers,
for the publication of such supreme jar
gon and nonsense ought to damn that
body to oblivion. 1t failed however to
accomplish this, and refused to act on
the bill for reducing the fee for publish
ing the delinquent tax-list, or requiring
the Treasurer to act in good faith in
procuring it done. By and by we shall
publish the laws in supplement, they
are too dry and embarrassing to appear
in any paper and will only be read by
men anxious to learn the extent of fol-
ly in that most contemplate body Of
men.

Republican, OpinlO ms Of
Grant.

We have not much room for reports
Of the hundreds Of meetings being held
all over the country, by men in the re-
publican party, who went into the or
ganization when it was a reproach to
belong to the party, and through whose
ability, personal integrity, and moral
worth the party was built up. We
have number of the best of men in
our community. in many respects, who
for the sake Of controlling local Offices
in the party. ignore. or try to, the all
pervading corruption Of the administra-
ton as portrayed by the pure minded
men who organized the party. Here is
what one Of these republican meetings
said Of tho administration; what others
say is a repetition in some form of what
this one said: ......
RESOLVED. That the administration
Of President Grant is disappointment
and failure, and an injury to the coun-
try, for the following reasons:
Observation-Disclosures is still hinder
ed and not perfected in eight great
states of the nation.
Sccond-Enormous land grant sub
sides have been given to wealthy rail-
road corporations when the public do
main Of right belongs to all the people.
Third-Oppressivc and unnecessary
burdens are inflicted upon the people
in the revenue and income tax to pay
of the national debt before it is due.
Fourth-Relatives of the president
are appointed to Offices which belong to
tho people at large, and which in no
sense are personal gifts or family prop
erty.
Fifth-Commerce is Frustrated, and
ships are rotting at the docks for want
of employment.
Sixth-The president has made him.
self the chief Of portion of his own
party, instead Of being the head of a
great nation, and so patriotism has
been Frustrated to personal devotion
and the most shameful practices in cor
rupting primary meetings and packing
state conventions have met with the
largest executive rewards.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES into the cor
ruption Of party patronage and power
have been thwarted and hindered by
every unjust means at the command of
the administration.

thought to have been made into fine-cut

A SAD FALLING OUr.--It is indeed
a sad falling out when, after years of
the closest intimacy, the hair parts
company with the head. Fortunately
the lamentable separation may be easily
prevented and the twain more closely
united than ever by timely and syste-
matte use Of Lyons Kathairon, the
most potent invigorant of the hair and
promoter Of its growth and beauty
known to modern pharmacy. It COM
pletely obviates the dry and parched
condition of the roots of the hair, which
is preliminary to its coming out, by sup
plying the precise degree of moisture
requisite to its preservation in healthy
state. 1t is the only true dissolyent
and evaporant of dandruff and other
impurities Of the scalp, whose presence
is injurious to the hair. AS a beauti-
fer of the head the Katharion has no
equal. 1t not only increases the guam
tity of the hair, but improves it's quality
Immediately, imparting a lustrous al
pearance and silky texture which are
exceedingly attractive.
