Don Carlos de Bourbon, Duke of Mad

DuBUQuE.-We made brief visit to
the Key City last week, and spent very
pleasant day in taking observations Of
her business improvements and beautiful
surroundings. Like the majority of wes-
tern towns, Dubuque is experiencing a
temporary depression of business, and
has quite number of store rooms lack
ing occupants in her business streets.
She is not improving her opportunities
in the way of manufactures as she
might, nor as she undoubtedly will when
her business men become aroused. Like
our own town she has aspired for mere
mercantile supremacy-and no city in
Iowa can show more energetic and en-
class of traders than can Du.
buque-but in the fostering of enter.
prises which produce wealth she has yet
a large work to do.
In our former visits to Dubuque we
have never had the time or opportunity
to explore the real beauty of Dubuque
and her surroundings. On this occasion,
accepting the courteous invitation of our
friend Rich, of the Times, we occupied
very agreeable hour in driving on the
bluffs, through slightly streets and leafy
lanes, wherein are situated the homes of
fashion and refinement. Like all desirable
pminence this part of Dubuque is only
reached through toll and danger, but once
attained the pleasure well repays the Ia
Dor Here are ornamentcd grounds, ele-
CANT residences, and evidences Of wealth
md culture, A new boulevard, called
irandview Avenue, is laid out and part
y constructed in this part of the city. 1t
S designed to te the ultimate Fifth Avenue
If Dubuque, and will form magnificent
lrivc.
We called on the Herald and had a
pleasant chat with Ham, and our whilom
boy" Charlie Monger, the lively ''locaP'
If the Herald. The Herald folks have
n course of erection splendid new
,tfice; the plans of which were shown us.
t will cost nearly 100000, and when
completed will be the finest and most con-
yenient newspaper Office in the State.

FRUIT TREES. - We have received
reports from several sections Of our
county which indicate that the orchards
have suffered sever ely the past winter.
Mr.. S. w. Rich, of Fremont township,
tells US that of his orchard ofbetween 200
and 800 trees, some of which were plant
cd as long ago as 1857, fully sixty per
cent. are killed. The same is true of that
of Mr.. Brintnall, in the same vicinity. The
trees are leaving out and blossoming but
the black and shriveled bark of the
trunks indicate that it is but an expiring
effort. We have similar reports from
the vicinity of Jesup, some orchards
showing even greater per cent. of loss
There is one exception to this however
in the case of Mr.. H. B. Lathop who lives
o short distance north of Jcsup. Mr..
Lathop, has about 100 trees Of all varie-
ties, and says that not one Of them is
injured in the least. The reasons he
gives for this are worthy the attention OF
farmers. He is firm believer in the
theory Of protecting orchards on the
south sides from the influence of the sun
in the early spring, and of leaving them
fully exposed on the north side, to all
the cold and wind that can reach them.
Mr.. Lathop, has steadily practiced the
theory from the first, and to it he ascribes
his exemption from loss this year. We
would be glad to receive reports from
fruit growers in other parts of the county
with expressions of their views upon the
general subject ofprotection of fruit trees
from the influences of our climate.

The JUBILEE.-Mr. Durham, agent of
the I. C.. r. R., sends US an illustrated
pamphlet of 80 pages with the above title,
designed to furnish all necdful informn
ton to parties who propose to attend the
mammoth Chicago Jubilee next week.
The preparations for this great festival
are going forward with an energy char
acteristic of Chicago, and the event, both
as musical entertainment and as q dem
onstration in celebration of Rebuilt Chi
cago," will undoubtedly be grand sue
cess. Railroad fare on all roads leading
to Chicago will be half price. Tickets
from Independence to Chicago and re-
turn will be $11.65; good from the 4th to
the 9th.

Letter from Wilson Palmer.
SYCAMORE, De Kalb Co., Ill.


May, 21st, 1878.
JUDGE ToMAN.-When l left Indepen-
dencc thought should very seldom let
week pass by without sending greeting
to the BULLETIN, with some item of in
terest relating to this vicinity and its
schools. commenced, as you will re-
momber, very promptly and bravely, and
the first few letters l sent would seem to
have indicated that l was to prove my
self regular correspondent. Alas, for
our good intentions. Time passes rapid
ly and we forget. I have now hardly
anything of which can write you aside
from these schools and this beautiful city
4 say 6eautiJulfo she is charmingly so,
in her bcwitchingly fashionable summer
Dress This forest of maple gives the
city peculiarly loving and lovable ap.
pearancc. AS seen through the leafy dress
of their numerous shade trees, l know of
no place, East or West, that surpasses
Sycamore in it's beauty. To know just
how prettily she looks, you must come
and see for yourself and then you will
appreciate her charms as well as I. Our
schools have made improvements upon
our last term, and chiefly for the reason
that we have better teachers, among
whom Mrs Addie Luckey, who taught
so long and so successfully in Indepen-
dence, stands foremost. Mrs. Luckey
went into our first primary room, CON-
pletely disorganized and demoralized, at
the commencement Of our term, and che
has made it, within the six weeks our
schools have been in session, q model
room, not only acknowledged so by my
self, but by the parents and patrons who
are SO greatly interested.
Our Board of Education said to me not
long since: "Mr Palmer, if you know Of
any more such teachers as Mrs. Luckey,
secure them, for we want just such; they
are worth the highest ruling prices" l
am happy to say this much for Mrs.
Luckey, for she is worthy lady, deserv
ing much, and an excellent teacher. l
have been, rs you may already know,
elected Superintendent Of Public Schools
at Ottumwa, Iowa. The work there is
entirely that of experimenting. The
position is u promising one, and, although
l shall delight to get back among my old
educational friends in Iowa, yet l shall
leave Sycamore with regret; she is a good
place, and II love her. l have been cleo
ted Supt, of these schools for the coming
school year, commencing in September
next, at my present salary of $1,000 per
year. especially mention the salary as
l hear that some of my friends in indie
pendence supposed l was laboring for
$1,000 per year. They will be happy to
be informed of their mistake
There is very much interest being
manifested just now, in this locality as
well as elsewhere, in the grand Jubilee
SO soon to be had in Chicago. have
not as yet decided to '.join the chorus"
but am bound to 60, and l have no
doubt shall see somebody there from
Independence. am hoping to see your
good city at the close of my present term.

to take by the hand, look into their
genial faces and listen to some excellent
story, if they have such to relate.

WILSON PALMER.


THE ALDINE for June shows what the
landscape painters Of America can do,
when they have a mind to work, in black
and white. They paint pictures which
are seen for short time in their studios,
and then are seen no more, except by
their purchasers; being, in fact as much
removed from the actual world of art, as
if they did not exist. 1t is otherwise
with them when they are drawn on wood
and seen by the thousands of readers OF
The ALDINE, in every section Of the
country; who constitute a powerful art
constituency, and in a certain sense rep
resent Posterity. Mr. Kruseman Van
Elten's oil pictures are well known to
connoisseurs of art; his "view near
CRANKY Conn.," in the June ALDINE,
makes his talent known throughout the
United States. 1t is delicious drawing
as picturesque as Nature herself, when
she tries to be-full of light and life and
beauty-"a song without words" MIR.
II. w. Hubbard's distant View of Mount
Mansfield" is one of the most delightful
landscapes we have ever seen. 1t
possesses all the characteristics of his old
paintings, their grace, tenderness, and
subtle beauty, and so thoroughly, that
we have no wish to have it translated in
to color. These two drawings are the
gems of the number, as regards land
scapes. Among the figure pieces to be
noticed and commended are The Signal
after Hellwig, and THE Sisters" Ro-
man interior, after Coomans. Mr.. Peter
Moran contributes two charming animal
pictures, "Thc Bull Calf" barn-yard
study, and Group Of Sheep" which
are better than any that Verboeckhoven
ever painted, or ever will paint, for Mr..
Moran has caught, what Verboeckhoven
generally misses the feeling, the in.
stinct of the animal world. From Mr..
w. M. Cary we have "A Stampede of
Wild Horses" which Is striking and
most vigorous composition. Then there
is I'm the Park" 'The Old Mill" OF
Kesslcr, and View in Old Amsterdam,
after Hermann, who has no superior as a
marine architectural painter. The liter
AZURE of this number is remarkable for
its excellence There are two stories OF
New England life, either of which would
be the literary feature of the month in
any other magazine. The first, Turning
the Wale," by Frances Lee, is capital
study of Yankee character and CONVEX
sation; the second, young Martin and
Old Martini" by Elizabeth Stoddard, is
this and more; for TO Miss Lees general
knowledge of Yankee life she adds a
singular power of analysis, which imparts
to her story the interest Of genuine
passion. In "Rosa Bonheur and her
Tiger" by Evan Goderich, and IA Visi,
to Madame Thiers," by George Sand, VIC
are pleasantly introduced to these two
famous French women. Mr.. G. d. Shanly
discourses about Lost Music" and the
editor gossips IN his sparkling way about
the Illustrations, and passes his critical
| verdict upon Music, Art and Literature

JOE JLFFERsoN.-It was our privilege
to witness last week in Dubuque, the
acting of the above distinguished com
edian, in a character in which he has
won wealth and high renown, Rip Van
Wrinkle. The play is founded on Irving's
story of the same name hut the drama
tized version borrows nothing from the
great authors creation save the name
and leading incidents. Rip Van Wrinkle
the play, is below mediocrity but its prin-
cipal character rs played by Jefferson, is
a creation rare and beautiful There is
nothing in his PRESERVATION of the he'll
pecked Dutchman, that would strike the
ordinary theater goer as extraordinary
There are in it no stage effects, no ex-
travagances Of speech or manner, moth
ing sensational, nothing strained. The
listener insensibly identifies himself with
the scene and sees, not the actor, but the
real Rip Van Wrinkle, the lazy, insouciant,
good natured, tipping, caurien of the
Katskill village, the favorite and butt
of the village boys, the friend and con
fidant of his dog Schneider" and the
victim Of "Gretschen" and the village
usurer. The secret of Jeffcrson's power
in the part is his perfect conception Of
the character and his harmonious rem
dcring of 1t. Rip in his hands never
rises or degcnerates into anything else,
but always acts and looks as person OF
Rips characteristics would act and look
under like circumstances
But we did not intend to attempt o
renew of the performance, task beyond
our powers. We can only add that in
common with six or eight hundred Other
people comprising the elite and intellect
of Dubuque, We were immensely pleased
| with it.
