The Dubuque Telegraph does not
think highly Of the nominations by
the Anti monopoly party of Des
Moines last week. 1t casts slur
upon the candidate for governor, de.

Governor as a tool of railroad men,

PERHAPS some of our Republican
friends who have joined the new
party for reform, can give us an
accurate estimate of the amount
of that article which may be ex-
pected from a party whose very
first State Convention is captured
and run without protest from any
body, by such indurated dema-
gogues as J. B. Grinnel!, Ed. Camp
bell, Il. o. Walker, John Irish, and
others, the majority Of whom too,
have the Democratic brand upon
with the Liberal stick.

r. E. PRICE, prominent Liberal
Of Clayton county, and chairman of
the Boardman Elkader) township
Liberal Committee, has issued a call
for caucus to elect delegates to the
Liberal County Convention, address
ed to call the Darwinians." When
asked to explain this singular yet
appropriate call, he replied: "D-n
it, amt we all regular descendants
Of the Democratic monkey" He
had his interlocutors there, and it is
presumed, that with so conclusive,
and so apt definition of their status
they made no objection to the terms
Of the call. The Darwinian theory
never had better illustration.

We had the pleasure, on yester-
day afternoon, Of a visit from Mr..
J. II. Brown, Of Red Oak, Iowa, the
young man with the wonderful
power of seeing the invisible.
Among his exhibitions were the fol-
lowing, which were repeated sew
eral times, until every person pres
ent was convinced that there was
no humbuggery in the matter: He
directed gentleman to think of
some object in distant part of the
building, aud taking the gentle
mans left hand, placed it upon his
own forehead, and, after few
vacillating movements, started out
through the door of the room in
which they were. With few devil
atoms he traversed the various pas
sages, never tripping over chairs or
tables, and going through the door
way without a bump straight to the
Object. Again, number of alpha
betical letters were distributed in
different parts of the room, when
he told a gentleman to call to mind
the town in which he was born;
then, being blindfolded, he took the
persons hand and led him to the
several letters, spelling the name OF
the place. Next he told one pres
sent to think Of friend in the city,
and where he lived; this being
done, after little hesitation he
pointed in the exact direction. He
also accomplished the still more diff
ticult task of telling what gentle.
man was thinking about, by taking
hold of the hand of third party
stationed between them, together
with many more exhibitions Of his
power equally wonderful.
Mr.. Brown himself is not aware
of the cause of the means produc-
ing these results. He says that
when the subjects hand is placed
against his head rays of lambert
light appear to emanate from all
sides of his brain, following, as he
snpposes, the thoughts Of the other
person. When an object is select
ed to be pointed out, the mind of
the subject being directed to it, an
unusual line of light appears, and
this he follows steadily, which al
ways leads him to the object. The
size of this light varies with the
size of the object. He states that
up to his sixth year he was unaware
Of this singular gilt. At that peri
cd, when playing with other child
rem, he found that contact with them
produced in him peculiar sen.
sations, sometimes pain; that in a
dark room sparks of what seemed
fire would fly from the ends of his
fingers if his hands were brought
suddenly together. His mother
used frequently to remark oddities
about him, and often spoke of them.
Eight years ago he was led to ex-
pertinent by the accidental passage
of companions hand across his
forehead, resulting in psychic
sympathy between their minds.
Shortly after he arrived at results
similar to those detailed in the trials
above mentioned.
Mr.. Brown is about 81 years Of
age, and of rather more than ordi-
nary general intelligence, and is
native of st. Louis. His home at
present is in Red Oak, Iowa, where
he has been engaged in some me-
chanical pursuit with his brother.

That has magic power to dispel the blues,
About the goods of different hues,

But are prompt as any you've ever met,

Come one, or two, or by the load,
From every way, from every road,
And they will dress you up la mode,
At the stylish N. Y. Store.

But are simply telling the truth at most,
TO prove it inquire of LAwToN & Posi-,

One of the baggage masters of station
between Worcester and Boston is fat,
good natured, dron fellow, whose jokes
have become quite popular on the road.
His name is Bill. A short time since, while
in the performance of his duties in check
ing baggage, an ugly little Scotch terrier
got in bis way and he gave him q smart
kick, which sent him over the track yelling.
The owner Of the dog soon appeared in
high dudgeon wanting to know who kicked
the dog.
"Was that your dog2" asked Bill, with
the usual drawl.
"Certainly it was! What right had you
to kick him?"
"He's mad" said Bill.
"No, he's not mad, either" said the
owner.
swell, should be if anybody kicked me
in that way" responded Bill.

PRI zCE FRED.

The Chicago Times reporter has inter-
viewed Fred Grant, who has just landed in
Chicago after his long jump from Second
Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel. he
says the royal scion wore an anxious look,
and was irving to break bis neck or make a
very poor cigar ssdraW." The reporter
handed the Grand Duke a costly Partags,
and asked him what business be had in
Chicago. The eldest son of bis father re-
p led that the Lieutenant General applied
to the Secretary of War, requesting that
he be assigned to duty upon his staff, and
the request was granted. The speaker had
not expected anything of the kind, but was
very glad that Phil had eVinced so ardent
an affection for him. He did, know that
the President was ignorant Of the appica-
lion, but it was matter in which he had
nothing more to say. The appointment
and the confirmation were not in the Presi-
dents hands. Fred didn't care a continent
tai what the papers said. He was here, and
he was glad of it. Like sensible young
man, he expressed the greatest contempt
for 81 Grace Whites paper" (the Chicago
Tribune), and said that be never expected
any good of it. The Lieutentant Colonel
had served all winter in Texas, and
wouldn't Ego back for anything. He had
been lame for three months, and could
never stand the severe duty required of
him on the frontier. He thought that he
would enjoy Chicago life very much, and
appeared greatly comforted when the re-
porter advised him to keep stiff upper Id!
and never mind what the Tribune said.
His Royal Highness promised to enjoy life
in the metropolis to the extent Of his abili-
ty, and the reporter promised in return that
be would call over again in few days to
ask what his mother had to do with his ap-
pointment on Gen. Sheridan's staff, and
whether it is generally considered healthy
for Lieutenant-General to disregard the
solicitations of lady who is wife of Pre-
sident and mother of his children.

TRIUMPH OF A SOUTHERN GIRL
IN ROME.

A Rome letter says: The Convent of the
Sacred Heart at Rome has under its contr oil
the most refined school in Europe for the
educationof ladies. Many eminent women
in the Eastern and Western Continents i'm
bibed their culture and grace within the old
gray walls of LIE Sacre Coeur, where ever
gladstone and jealous little French nuns as
sumo the important duties Of he great pro-
fessors of st. Sulpice, Louvain and the Sapi-
enza. The famous novelist George Sand reg
ularly communicates with those bright-faced
and witty sisters, who seem to have COM
pletely fascinated the heart of the great
writer. During the distribution of pre-
miums at the Convent of the Sacred Heart,
on Saturday, March 8, Ellen Mary
| Coulton, the daughter of gen.
tlemsn in the South, took the t'solus'
medal in each of her classes, success
which entitled her to the gold medal of the
convent. The gold medal is only won by
those whose proficiency so transcends that
! of each of their companions as to render
them ''solus''-alone in point of merit.
And so difficult is it to attain to this dignity
that the gold medal has been won only
twice during the past ten years. Miss
Coulton is the only English-speaking pupil
who ever bore away this signal token OF
worth. Do not assume that the recipien
of this honor was merely expert ia what
girls commonly study at home. She had
to fight the prestige of French, Belgian,
German, and other girls to whom the intri-
cacies of Juvenal's Sltires and Hvrace 3
Epistoles are as fam liar as the declension
of a simple noun. And she had rivals
versed in the ponderous sentiments of Ho-
mer's Had and Odyssey, as well as the
Pharsalia of Lucian, Tasso's jerusalem, the
Lusisd of Csmoens, the Telemachus of
Fenelon and other classic studies. She
had also rivals in the Observatory, in the
schools of drawing and painting, and in the
higher branches Of mathematics.

Special Supreme Court.

But little business was transacted in this
court on yesterday, owing to the non-at-
tendance of attornies, st which the honor
able Judges evidently were notin the most
amiable huInor, regarding it not only as a
disregard of public business, but as seeln-
ing want of proper Difference to the court
itself. Two of the gentlemen composing
the court have accepted the position al
great personal inconvenience, to answer
a public demand and accommodate the
profession, and especially the Bar at Nash
vile, whose business has been so long
clogged upon the Supreme Court docket:
such indifference OF neglect was well calcu'
lated to try their patience.
Judge Nicholson announced, and instrucs-
ed the Clerk to publish the order, that the
Court would go back this morning anC
have the Davidson law docket regularly
and per-eDaptorily called, and all causes
when reached would either be tried or re
n,oy.ded to the regular Supreme COur
docket, there to await the future action o
that Court.

been visiting our city. He made strong

He is a man of about fifty years of age, quiet
and t1nassuming, and is SO well versed in
the Scriptures that be can repeat whole
chapters OF the kible correctly, but on othel
subjects he knows but little. For the pas
four years he has been travelling over the
country preaching the gospel in bis owl

itself. He tarried in Nashville but week
making his home a. North Market stree

ADANBURY young man who was once a
clerk lately went on farm 10 work. The
first night in bis new nosiLion he was de-
tailed to remove calf from the apartment
of its parent to another shed, and while en-
gagged, as thousands have been before him,
in showing the contrary beast along, the
mother reached under the tails of his coat
with her horns and suddenly lifted him up
against the roof Of the building with force
that threatened to shatter every bone in bis
body. The first thing he did on returning
to earth was to rub himself, the next thing
was to throw up his place. He said he
didn't doubt that agriculture was 3 noble
pursuit, and that the farmer needed an as
sistant in the discharge of his multifarious
duties, but he didn't believe he was de-
signed for making skylights in COW shells.

ANOTHER GOVERNMENT SWIM
DIE.
A Jefferson County Claim Agent Ar
rested for Frauds and Forgery.

From the Knoxville Chronicle, april ..
For some time past there have been
whisperings that everything was not alto
gether lovely in the accounts of Mr.. James
O. Senter, very affable, energetic and al
together popular claim agent, doing busi-
ness at Panther Springs, jefferson county
Bnt though until few DAYS ago nothing
was made public, yet the officials we're fully
advised as to his actions, and took the ne
cessary steps to prevent flight if he coDsid-
cred absence healthful and essential to his
physical comfort
On Saturday the trap was sprung by U.
S. Deputy Marshal, G. I. Larkin, and the
bird caught aud brought to Knoxville, but
by proffering bail, his Imprisonment was
postponed, Senter in the meantime pay
ing the officers expenses home. In this
he was disappointed, his cousin, ex-Gover-
nor D. w. G. Senter, refused to go on his
bond, giving AS his reason for declining to
do so that he did not know the amount OF
the frauds perpetrated, though he would
have been willing to do so had the cases for
which he was arrested been the only
charges against him.
His defalcations, as far as known, are moi
large, but it is feared the two cases which
have been brought to light are but the
commencement of series of frauds which
NAV reach huge dimensions. His profits in
one claim was LOO, being the back pay
of a deceased officer of the 9th Tennessee
cavalry, made payable to Abraham Miller.
Senter was taken to jail on yesterday and
assigned quarters in the cell formerly &C
cupied by Thos. G. BOYD.
