Correspondence Of the News.
Letter from Northeastern Iowa
LAMoTTE, Jackson County, Iowa, !

LAMorTE, Jackson County, Iowa,
February Is, 1872.
Mr.. Editor Having changed my place
of residence since writing my last letter
for the "News," some information re-
specting this locality would, perhaps,
not be amiss.
Lamotte is a small village is the north
eastern part of Jackson county, Iowa,
fifteen miles from Dubuque, and four
teen from Galena, III. This county is
situated in the great bend Of the Missis-
sippi.
Although the bluffs along the river
are only about one-half as high as they
are at McGregor, yet the surface of the
country, taken few miles back from
the river, is more broken here than
there, being in many places succession
of small ridges. In the south part of the
county, along the Maquoketa river, tim
Der is abundant. In many other parts
of the county, the time is evidently not
far distant in the past when it was prai-
rie; now, thousands Of acres in the
county are covered with dense growth
of bushes, mostly oak. Near Andrew,
the county seat, is thick forest of young
trees, averaging about forty feet in
height. 1 was told by one who has liv-
ed there for thirty years past, that for
several years after she first saw the spot
it was a prairie, with the exception of
here and there shaggy tree, the parents
of the present forest. Had population
been delayed century later, this would
have been heavily timbered country.
The county seat of Jackson county is
"Andrew," which means Andrew Jack
son.
In that vicinity the people are mostly
from Pennsylvania, a few from Western
Virginia, and Southern Ohio. About
Lamotte, quite number are from New
Jersey. In some parts of the county, as
we'll as in Dubuque county, there are
neighborhoods composed almost exclu-
sively of Irish Catholics.
We have had several sharp snaps of
cold weather this winter, but the greater
part of the time has been very pleasant
winter weather. There have been no
deep SHOWS, but great many light ones.
The heaviest fall of snow was on Satur-
day, Dec. 2Sd. Sleighing has been con-
stant since the middle of December, tho
rather poor for the last few days.
The ground being frozen to a consider
able depth, thawing little In daytime
and freezing at night, only smoothes the
surface by filling up the inequalities
with solid ice, causing the winter roads
to be as smooth as in summer, and as
solid as turnpike.
We have had here in an epidemic
form, disease known technically as
Cerebro-SpinGl- Meningitis, which means
in plain English, an Inflammation of
the membrane which invests the brain
and spinal cord. The disease being a
new one so far as this part of the coun-
ty is concerned, the first cases were gem
orally fatal, probably for the want of
vigorous treatment in the early stages.

Mark Twain on Suffrage.

Mark Twain says that when wo-
men frame laws, the first thing they
will do will be to enact:
/. That all men should be at home
at 10 P. M, without fail.
2. That married men should be-
stow considerable attention upon
their own wives.
3. That it should be a hanging Of
fense to sell whisky in saloons, and
that fines and Acknowledgement
should follow in such eases.
4. That the smoking of cigars to
excess should be forbidden, and
smoking of pipes utterly abolished.
8. That the wife should have the
title of her own property when she
marries a man that has not any.
"Such tyranny as this" says
Mark, "we could never stand. Our
free souls could never endure such
degrading thraldom. Women, go
away! Seek not to beguile US of
our imperial privileges. Content
yourselves with your little feminine
trifes-your babies, your benevo-
lent societies, and your knitting
and let your natural bosses do the
voting. Stand back-you will be
wanted 10 go to war next. We will
let you teach school as much as you
want to, and pay you half price, too
but beware! we don't want you to
crowd US too much!"

American interests, and believing
that by upholding and promoting
those interests it is subscribing the
cause of labor throughout the world.
That legislation is giving US a stand
point whereon the laboring man
looks abroad upon the world and
exhibits conditions of living which
his brother in Europe and his broth
er in Canada regard with envy.
And / trust that we shall continue
30 to fortify, so to maintain Ameri-
can industry and American art, that
they shall go on from triumph to
triumph, from this time until the end
of material things.
THE FRUITS OF PROTECTION.
do not anticipate the time when
we can properly throw down all the
barriers of protection. 1 say that
crockery and china are not made
here largely because we have never
offered proper encouragement.
Those arts have not demanded and
received such protection as they de-
served. l saw the other day Brit
ish artisan of the highest class who
has come over to make plate glass.
Why did he do that? Because we
have of the best quality all the ma
terials necessary for making it, and
still more because we have duty
on plate glass of go per cent. Ihope
he will be encouraged to go on, and
l have no doubt that the manufac-
ture of plate glass in this country
will cheaper and increase the use Of
that article very considerably and
very speedily. Wherever American
industry has gained a strong foot
hold, and is well protected, there it
sends out its products to the ends of
the earth. At least it begins to do
SO. 1t is young yet. Some branches
have attained maturity others are
attaining it; more will attain it. So
let US go on, creating new industries
and developing new arts, always un-
der the sgis of American legislation,
until this country shall be in art and
industry what it is in government
and society--tbe foremost country of
the world.

On one of the recent cold nights a
Nashua lady put her two boys in bed
in cold room, tucked them up, and
sat down on the edge Of the bed to
hear them say their prayers. John
ny, aged seven, got through all
right, and cuddled up to Willie, aged
FIVE, who had just commenced his
prayer. Presently Willie began to
hurry, the words came faster than
he could distinctly utter them, and
the prayer ended thus: "I pray the
Lord my soul to keep, amen-take
your hand off'm me or I'll warm
your ear for you" Johnny was try
ing to tickle him.

"TICKETs, sir" said railroad con-
ductOr, passing through one of the
trains the other day, to a passenger.
"My face is my ticket" the replied
other. "Indeed,' said the conductor,
rolling back his wristbands and dis.
playing a powerful bunch of fves
swell, my orders are to punch all
tickets passing over this road.''
"And my business as a director ol
this road" quietly replied the pas.
senger, "is to see that conductors do
not KNOCK down." The conductor
readjusted his wristbands.

"COusider Me Smith,

A good story is told of old DR..
Caldwell, formerly Of the University
of North Carolina.
The Doctor was small man, and
lean, but as hard and angular as
the most irregular of pine knots.
He looked as though ne might be
tough, but he did not seem strong.
Nevertheless he was among the
knowing ones, reputed to be agile
'as cat;" and in addition, was by
no means deficient in a knowledge
of the 'smanly art."-Well, in the
Freshman class of a certain year,
was burIy beef-eating mountaineer,
of eighteen or ninetsen. This genius
conceived great contempt for old
Bolus' physical dimensions, and his
soul was Mortified that one so def
cient in muscle should be so poten-
tial in his rule.
Poor Jones-that's what We'll
call him-.had no idea of moral
force. At any rate he was not in
clined to knock under and be con-
trolled despotically by a man he
imagined he could tie or whip. At
length he determined to give the
old gentleman a genteel, private
thrashing, some night in the Col
lege Campus, pretending to mistake
him for some fellow student.
Shortly after, on dark and rainy
night, Jones met the Doctor crossing
the Campus. Walking up to him
he spoke abruptly:
"Hello, Smith! you rascal-is this
your" .
And with that he struck the old
gentleman a blow on the side of the
face that nearly felled him.
Old Bolus said nothing, but squar-
ed himself, and at it they went.
Jones youth, weight and.muscle made
him an "ugly customer" but after
round or two the Doctors science
began to tell, and in short time he
had knocked his antagonist down,
and was a-straddle of his chest, with
one hand on his throat, and the
other dealing vigorous cuffs on the
side of the head.
"Ah! stop! beg pardon, Doctor,
Doctor CALDWELL mistake-for
heavens sake, Doctor!' he groaned.
"I really thought it was SMITH"
The Doctor replied with a word
and blow alternately.
"It makes no difference; for all
present purposes consider me
SMITH"
And it is said that old Bolus gave
Jones such a pounding, then and
there, that he never made another
mistake as to personal identity.

NJ. GARNER has at length sent in his
report of the state of the Tuileries. Not
a stone of the ancient building can be
made to serve again the whole edifice
is so completely calcined that the stones
erumble away at the slightest touch.
The general opinion is that the palace
was i'll placed, serving as 4 mask to the
far finer construction of the Louvre. NJ.
GARNER, therefore, proposes to rebuild
the two pavilions only, leaving the space
between them to be occupied by open
columns, through which the palace OF
the Louvre, with its great square and
gardens, may be seen all down the
Champs Elysees.
