The Changers of Mahaska county
are called to meet on the 18th instant
to nominate . county ticket for the
general election in October. The call
saysi "Said convention to be compos
ed of one delegate at large from each
grange, one for every twenty members
and one for every fraJtion over ten."
Evidently the Democrats of Mahaska
are endeavoring to plough with Re-
publican heifers.--Mugcatine Daily
Journal, 8th inst.
We have not noticed this call in our
exchanges from Mahaska county, but
suppose the Journal is correct, as it is
a very careful and reliable paper. II
we were to indulge in y reasonable
supposition we should suppose that
our friend, r. r. Harbour, Of Oskaloo-
SO, who spoke here on the 4th inst, is
one of the leaders in this movement.
We so judge from the fact that he is
one Of the old simon pure democracy,
and also from the character of his re-
marks here. In this county we UNDER
stand this movement is to assume the
name of the Peoples party. Evil
connsels we hear have prevailed with
few, very few republicans through
the officiousness and cunning OF Dem
ocratic Grangers.
Why men whom we highly respect
can be SO misled, and thus rush upon
their own destruction, and which
would work the destruction of the
Patrons Of Husbandry, were it possible
for them to succeed, is indeed mys-
terry to us.
Why these gentlemen cannot see that
this arraigning, or attempted arraign-
ing of one class OF our people against
the rest, and that, too, through secret
Organization, will be utterly destruct
| i've to success we cannot discern. We
cannot divine how some good citizens
can be allnred into a movement that
they must see will, beyond all remedy
have strong tendency to infame dis.
trust between the people of the towns
and the farmers, which everybody
knows has already been awakened
somewhat, and which wise and pru.
dent counsels and temperate language
on the part of candid citizens, from
both town and country, has thus fal
controlled. Though we kao,c defea
awaits such movements, and hence they
render certain beyond all probable
contingency, republican success, ye
we would fain keep from destruction
some men who might be wheedled init
it. Gentlemen! the question is viii
you act the part Of wise men?

A decision Of considerable interest
was rendered yesterday by Judge
Jones, Of the Circuit Court. Leopold
Schumacher died short time ago, leav-
ing will devisisg, among other lega-
cies, 1900 to . friend, to be disposed
Of for purposes understood by the
friend. 1t was ascertained that the
purposes understood bye the trustee
was the saying of masses for the re-
pose of the soul of the deceased. The
heirs of the dead man disputed the
validity of these legacies, which were
three in number, aggregating the above
amount. The matter came before
Jones, ON appeal from the Probate
Court, aud he decided that the be-
quests were In violation of the Consti-
tuition Of the State, which prohibits
any sgift, sale, or devise of land to any
minister, public teacher, or preacher Of
the gospel, as such. or any, religious
sect, order, or denomination"
Bequests of this kind--though in
much smaller amounts-are quite COM
| mon In this State, and are usually paid,
because no one objects; but in this
case the relatives preferred having the
money themselves, and the soul Of the
deceased Is left to its purgatorial wan.
derings. It was estimated by one ol
the attorneys that the cost of an ordi-
nary mass for the repose of q soul was
30 cents, and the amount given by Mr.
Schumacher would purchase 8, l20 mass
es. The law does not recognize such i
thing as q soul, and makes no mention
OF purgatory, and consequently lega
cy Of this kind is considered nnconsti
tutional.-St. Louis Democrat.

New APPLES Wanted.

/ Much attention has been given of
late years 10 raising new grapes, new
strawberries, new peas, and other sorts
of fruit, but why is the apple so nearly
neglected 1t is the most valuable
fruit of the North. all its excellent
qualities considered, and yet less atten-
ton Is given to crossing and raising
new varieties than with fruits OF much
less valne. Old men can remember
the Rhode Island Greening, Baldwin
and Roxbury Russell when they were
boys; but where is the new apple that
will supersede any of these! Ii some
of our enterprising pomologists would
plant onty dozen trees of The best
sorts. SO that the branches would inter-
mingle, as in the case of DIR. Kirland's
cherry trees, a quantity OF crossed seed
might be obtained in few years that
would plant specimen nursery or
orchard Of seedlings 10000 or 10000 in
number. Cross the Baldwin with the
Swan, the, Esopus Spitzenburg. with
the Belmont, and the Rhode Island
Greening with the Wagner, and there
is no doubt that among so many new
sorts there would be some of them that
would combine the vigor and product-
iyeness of one with the excellent flavor
of another. A thousand trial trees might
occupy an acre till the period of bear
ing, and nothing could exceed the in-
terest with which these new sorts
would be watched as they reddened
into beauty and excellence for the first
time. The most promising might be
grated into old trees, twenty sorts or
more into one tree, and the period OF
bearing thus accelerated. Who is there
that has enough enterprise to under
take the task on large scale?

That famous check of Oaks Ames'
drawn on the Sergeant-at Arms ofthc
House Of Representatives, payable to
s. c., or order, about which there has
been such q contest, involving the rep
utation of Oakes Ames and schuyler
Co.fax has had new light
thrown upon 1t recently, by a
lawyer Of the city Of Washington
by the name Of Drew, Of the firm Of
Drew, Bliss & Holmes. 1t will be rec-
objected that Mr.. Ames in his first
testimony stated that he had not paid
Mr.. Colfax money on account OF Cred
It Mobilier stock, but afterwards, his
memory refreshed by that celebrated
memorandum book of his, he did say
that said check drawn to s. c., for
81 200, was drawn in favor of Schuy-
Ter Colfax, and received by him. Mr..
Colfax swore that he never received
said check nor one dime Of money
thereon, aud adduced very clear evil
dence to substsntiate his statement
among which was the sworn state
ment Of clerk of the Sergeant-at
Arms, who stated that his best impress
sion was. and which was very strong
upon his mind, that said check was
presented by Oakes Ames and the
amount paid to him, the clerk going
SO far as to name the denomination Of
the bills paid. u
Mr.. Drew was the attorney for Mr..
Ames for some time, but during last
winter and up to recent period has
been in Europe, and hearing there,
of the contest over this check, he
called to mind an incident which was
clearly impressed upon his mind, and
relates now with particularly the cir
cumstauce Of seeing Mr.. Ames re-
ceive the money upon such check Of
the Sergeant-at-arms, Mr.. Drew stand
ing by him at the time he received
tn0 money.
We have long been fully satisfied in
our own mind that Mr.. Colfax never
received the money upon said check,
nor had anything whatever to do with
it. Mr.. Drew says he thinks that the
initials "s. G." were put there as q
private memorandum Of Oakes Ames',
and related to some cotton cases in the
South, in which Mr.. Ames had an in-
terest. Mr.. Drew says that after
drawing the money, Mr.. Ames turned
round . short distance from the bank
counter, stopped and talked with some
gentleman unknown to Mr.. Drew, and
during the conversation paid the mon
ey he had received upon the check, to
that gentleman. Mr.. Drew asserts
that the singnlarity of the check being
drawn to rs. c." which he plainly saw
as he stood by Ames talking, Games
drawing the check through his fingers,
~ the time), and then stepping up and
receiving the money, made such an
impression on his mind, that he can
not be mistaken in regard to it.

The st. Louis Dispatch gives the
following account of sorsnade ofJcff
Davis, while he was in that city the
other day: "Last night two sable Al
ricans, who in dntebellum times hoed
the corn and picked the cotton on Mr..
Davis plantation, serenaded their old
master at the Planters. Upon the
conclusion Of their dulcet strains Mr.
Davis called them to his room and
made them handsome presents. He
was also called on by an old aunty who
had the task Of nursing his Oldest
child. The affection Of the warm
hearted ex-slaves for their old master,
aud the kind interest manifested by
that distinguished gentleman, would
have made an original abolitionist turn
black with chagrin.'
The Dispatch seems,by the use of some
the above language, to have wonder.
full hankering after the old flesh pot oil
slavery, but when we remember its
Democracy we should not wonder
that its mouth waters for the old times
