WITH what a mixture of emotions
must ex-Comptroller Connolly, of
New York, witness, from his safe
retreat in the small town in the in
terror of Ireland, where he man
ages to subsist on the interest of
100000 stolen funds, the trial, con-
viction and incarceration of his
friend and confrere in iniquity, the
gorgeous Tweed. With what grim
satisfaction must he congratulate
himself upon the prudent, yet cow
ardly, instinct that prompted him
to make off with his share of the
booty, leaving his co-thieycs TO the
tender mercies of the law. Safe in
the bosom of his native land he
doubtless views his successful ca
rcer with complacency, and walks
in and out among his young coun-
trymen, proud of affording an illus
tration of the splendid orportuni-
ties which America holds out to
him who has the address to grasp
them.

How to Light q Fire.

Many persons have often noticed
the extreme difficulty encountered in
lighting the fire in a stove, especial
ly on still, damp morning. The
stove at first won't draw; even, Wig
orous blowing will not suffice; and
then, when it does start, it is with a
sort of explosion or outward rush of
air which fills the room with smoke
and gas, oftcntimes putting the I'M
pleasant fumes in the face ofthe OPP
orator. The trouble is caused by
the difficulty encountered in over
coming the inertia Of the long col
umn OF air in the Pipe or chimney,
by the small column Of air that can
be forced through the intcrstices of
wood and coal, at the bottom of
which tho fire Is kindlcd. All this
may be remcdied by simply putting
few shavings or bits Of dry paper
on the top of the wood or coal, and
first lighting that; it Immediately
bursts into blaze, because the air
has perfectly free access to it from
all sides, the heated air forces it's
way into the chimney, and establish
es there an upward current. The
match can then be applied to the
kindling under the fuel, which will
readily light, and if dry, burst into
q brisk flame.

The InvincibTc School.Morm.

Ladies travelling through Canada
are often greatly annoyed by having
their baggage unnecessarily search
ed, but one Of the officials recently
got his deserts. 1t happened that
a Yankee school-teachcr, on her
way from Kansas to Vermont, pass.
ed through the Dominion, with a
great trunk packed to bursting with
nothing contraband. When the
officer demanded her key she beg
ged him not to open it, assuring
him that it had come through from
Kansas, contained simply clothes
and books, and was so full that
it would be troublesome to repack
it. But he sternly demanded the
key, and maliciously pulled every
thing out to the very bottom; then,
finding her assertion true, he re-
turned the key and advised her to
"hurry up and get the traps back -
rs the. train would soon move.
"What is that TO me?" said the
quick. witted woman; 81 have a
check for that trunk, and hold the
Grand Trunk Railway responsible
for its safe delivery. / will not take
tho key, and you may do as you
please with the trunk" Report says
that official was very weary and red
in the face and rather profano ere
he finished packing that trunk.

and S. w. Pierce, of Davenport.
The Board adopted a resolution
concurring in the suggestions Of the
several Superintendent, that the
Homes be opened to classes of or.
phans other than children of SOL
diers, and also q resolution recon-
mendlng the establishment of indus
trial enterprises in connection with
the Homes, so that the children may
learn trades, and thus be able to
support themselves after leaving

Ryan.

The Helena (Montana) Herald
gives some passages in the life of
Ryan the tilIibuster.
Almost everybody will recolect
"Whack" Ryan, for he figured rath-
er conspicuousIy in several enter
prises, one of which was the organi-
cation of quartz mining bureau,
which, like all of his schemes, was
unsuccessful. Colonel w. S. Serb
ner was at one time associated with
him in some mining operation,
which also failed. Ryan was unre-
liable and people had no confidence
in him. Soon after his arrival in
Montana, in 1866, he accepted po-
sition as travelling agent for the
Herald, but held it only for a few
months. The proprietors found it
decidedly more economical to dis
pcnse with his services altogether
for he ran things OH the high press
ure system, and his extravaganza
knew no bounds. A man of his pro-
digal habits would bring ruin to
any business in very brief time.
"Whack" left the Territory in 1869
and went to New York, where he
met the Cuban General Ccspcdes,
then organizing an expedition to aid
the patriots struggling for freedom.
Ryan espoused the cause, was made
Colonel and afterward General" in
the Cuban army. He never did
much fighting, however, for he could
always be found at headquarters in
New York, where he could have a
gay and festive time without the
hardships and discomforts of active
service at the front. He has never
been engaged in any legitimate bu-
siness since he left the mountains,
but he always managed by hook Or
crook to wear good clothes and keep
his wallet we'll filled with green
backs. His whole life, in fact, has
been spent without purpose and
without an aim. His career has
been an cventful one, and if he had
been gifted with brains equal to his
courage, it might have been n sue
cessful and brilliant one. lie was
brave but reckless man, and like
most men of his character he met a
violent death-dicd with his boots
on. Ryan was about 80 years Of
age, and unmarried.

The Republican vete in Iowa last
year was 132,359. This year il was
lo6,2e7, a falling off of 2e,o92. But
the increase of the opposition vote
was not in proportion to the above
figures by considerable, Vale hav-
ing only 500 more votes than
Greeley last year. Large numbers
of Republicans failed to vote, but
very few comparatively have gone
over to tho other side. This may
be attributed partially to lack of in
tcrest in the election, but it will be
well to accept and profit by it as a
silent and significant rebuke to the
Legislation of the last Congress.
Very few Republicans have made
up their minds to abandon their
party wholly, and whether they will
do SO or not, may depend upon the
record made by the party majority
in Congress this winter. We have
the strongest faith that the lesson
of the recent elections will DO heed.
ed, and that the Republican mem.
bers of Congress, emancipating
themselves from perilous and cor
rupt leadership, will undo the mis-
chief of the past, end guard we'll
the interests Of tho country, and
their constituents in the future. II
they do this the career of the Re
publican party is not closed. Its
principles are rs pure and as suit
ed to the wants Of the country as
ever, and it will only succumb, il
succumb it does, to the banefal in,
fuence and supremacysof bad men
who have entered it for selfish ends,

The arbitrary rule, enforced by
some of the railroad companies, of
setting apart one coach as 'ladies'
car" and excluding gentlemen not
accompanied by ladies from it, is
not paying large dividends. In cv-
cry case where brutal brakcmen or
conductors have attempted to en-.
force this rule by violence the COM
panics have had to pay smartly in
damages. The latest case is that
of Capt. S. J. Mckinley, of Mitchell
county, who, few weeks since, re.
covered $4,000 from the North
western road for forcible election
from one Of these "ladies' cars
The rule would be Il senseless one if
impartially enforced, which is not
the case by any means.

The Osccola Sufferers.

The Sioux City Jouvnalsay ofthc
settlers in Osccola county, in whose
behalf the appeal IS made for pro-
visions and clothing to help them
through the winter:
A majority of the men of Osceola
county are cx-soldiers-men who
went into the ranks of the Union
army and contendedabravcly for the
life of the Union. Their personal
sacrifices were great, both in a pc.
cuniary point of view and in the d.
rection OF personal comfort. The
close of the war left them poor, ma
ny of them with large families to
support, and so they enlisted in the
ranks OF the pioneers to carve out
for themselves and families a home
in this new West. They had no re-
serve fund to draw upon; had invest
ed their limited means and their Ia.
Dor upon their lands and in their
crops. The season was adverse,
and the expected returns were uot
realized. Their situation is ofsuch
character, look at it as we my, as to
offer the strongest appeals to the
generosity Of the people of Iowa.
They arc men who are accustomed
to make their own fights, and they
will not, though they starve, be for
ward in pressing their individual
claims. They do not require much,
and will be unwilling to accept more
than is demanded by their actual
necessities. Helped now, in all
probability they will be able to pro-
vide literally for themselves ano.h-
err year; and, in the course ola very
few years, they will be of great as
sistance to the State of Iowa, be-
cause they will make the counties
of Northwestern Iowa among the
richest in the State Tho country
they have selected for their home is
unsurpassed in beauty and fertility,
and such misfortune as came upon
it this year may never come again.
Pioneer life is hard enough at best,
and no class is more worthy Of
helping hand than those who go
forward to open up the waste places,
We feel sure that the well-disposed,
may rest assured that every dollar
in money or goods, they may for
ward to the Relief Committee Of Os-
ceola county will be wisely and hon
estly used and bear Its good fruits
in many after years.

TIE following is a synopsis oftb

THE following is synopsis off the
Spanish argument regarding the
Virginius affair. If the points ia
ken can be established, which is
not unlikely, it vii! have the effect
OF considerably modifying the de-
mands of our government for re-
dress:
First-That he Virginius is not
an American ship, as she was own
ed by the Cubans and registered in
the name Of one Patterson, residing
in New York.
Second-Shc has forfeited even
the false registry by subsequent sale
to other parties.
Third-She has frequently sailed
during the past two years under
flags of other countries.
Fourth-That General Ryan was
not citizen Of the United States.
Fifth-That the Virginius at the
time of her departure, was engaged
in an unlawful expedition against a
friendly power.

The Democratic victory in New
York is not much of a triumph after
all. Besides carrying the legisla-
ture, which gives them the choice
of U. S. Senator in place of Fenton,
the Republicans elect also the

5000.

PERHAPS the Democratic papers
who have been so long harping on
the one string ofRepublican corrup'
ton, would like to change the strain
just tor the sake of variety. If so,
they can take up the case Of the
Democratic United States Senator
Casscrly Of California, who is for.
maIly charged by the Democratic
Central Committee of San Francis.
CO, with having bought his way in.
to the Senate by the disbursement
of 100000 in gold. We presume
the papers aforesaid will prefer how
ever, to play upon the old string.
1t is not corruption in the abstract
that vexes their virtuous souls, but
Republican corruption.

Advertising in Dull Times.

The WittcduHee Wisconsin relates
the following:
".Attcr the crash Of 81, when
everybody was almost scared to
death and the croakcrs predicted
that the country had gone to smash,
a dry goods house was opened in
this city, which proceeded Oil the
principle that in order to reach the
boarded money in the pockets of the
people the proprietors must sell at
very reasonable rates, and adver-
tisc very Largely. Their brother
merchants who did not advertise
predicted that the new corners
would be ruined, as they paid too
much for advertising. Ncverthe-
less, they persisted. In single
year they paid five hundred dollars
in gold to the Daily Wisconsin for
advertising, and at the end of seven
years they retired from business
with fortune Of one hundred thou
sand dollars, while other merchants
on the same street, some of them OPP.
positc their store, had failed"
And the New York Ecening
Post says:
awe remember similar instance
among our own advertisers in the
panic of 1857. A merchant con-
tinucd his advertisement III our col.
umns through the whole period of
stagnation, and Notwithstanding
many predicted that it "wouldn't
pay" His testimony afterwards
was that his sales were steady and
his profits satisfactory, while many
a merchant around him who "could-
MT afford to ADVERTISE" saw his
clerks standing idle behind the
counters"
A financial panic does not mean
that no one has any money. There
is plenty of money in the country,
and those who hoard it are just the
par ties eager for the "bargalns"
which fall in prices hold out. But
to buy they must know where to
buy, and the merchant who tells
them will receive their cash.

The American Express Company
has issued an order cutting down
the wages Of its employees, but the
public aslargc are not to secure
any benefit therefrom. The order
is solely in the interests of the mil
lionaire stockholders of the compa-
ny, who must have big dividends
on their watered stock, even if their
faithful, hard-working servants are
pinched by poverty on inadequate
salaries. Monopolies of this kind

Hon. JAMES WILSON, member of
Congress from the 5th District,
while on his way the other day from
his home in Tama county to Wash
ington, stopped at Vinton, and was
interviewed by the editor Of the
Journal. He expressed his inten-
ton to vote and work for two meas
urcs likely to come up almost at the
beginning of the session: the repeal
Of the salary law, and the increase
of tho currency. Regarding the
next campaign for Congress in his
district he made the following frank
and straightforward declaration,
which is worthy and characteristic
of the man, and does honor to the
Scotch blood that flows in his veins:
"The Anti-Monops will hold their
convention early. You Republicans
should therefore be ON the alert,
and settle in your minds who is the
best man for you to nominate for
Congress. Should that man not be
myself, l will come home and take
the stump for him as willingly as
though l was the candidate, for
am more of a Republican than a
sclf.seeker."
AS specimen Of frankness the
above may be commended to the
imitation Of politicians Of every de.
gree
