GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.

FOLLOWING are couple of panks from
the platform adopted by the Republicans
of Iowa: That the act of the majority of
the members of Congress in voting what
is known as the back pay steal, by which
they voted into their pockets thousands
OF dollars which did not belong to them,
was most flagrantly improper and infam-
Gus, and should secure the political con-
demnation of all who were q party to it,
and we demand that the provisions of the
late act of Congress by which the salaries
were increased shall be promptly and un-
conditionally repealed; that we insist
upon the right and duty of the State to
control every franchise of whatever kind
it grants; and while we do not wish that
any individual or corporation who invest
capital or industry in enterprises of this
kind, we yet demand that no franchise
shall be granted which is prejudicial to
the public interest, or in which the rights
and interests of the State and the people
are not carefully guarded.
The aarth is certainly being burned up
in places. Our dispatches sell us of fires
burning an area of fifty square miles on
Long Island, with one settlement swept
away entirely. These country fires are
something dreadful TO think OF and may
fifty take their place in history, by the
terrible city fires Of Chicago and Boston.
ACCORDING to the Columbus cores

THE LESSON OF THE HOUR.

Morgan Courtney, alias Rick Moriarty,
is numbered among the dead, 1t is sad
to reflect that one SO young, SO qualified
to adorn some honorable station, should
have been so suddenly cut off and ush-
cred into the presence of his Maker.
What may have transpired between the
now dead man and the Judge Eternal
since his fatal wounds, i, is not for poor,
weak mortals to say. OF the hereafter
We have naught to say. With the pres
ent only have we to deal. Morgan Court
ney (the name by which he was known
in this community feared by some, de-
tested by others, and respected by a few,
was desperate character-had killed his
man in Phoebe, some fourteen months
ago-a murderer il the broadest accep-
tation of the term. What be may have
done before IS not proper question for
discussion at this time. Suffice it TO say
that God Almighty, who tempers JUS
tice with mercy has already dealt with
Morgan Courtney. We only refer to his
tragic death as a yerifcation of the
prophecy that those who STAY by the
sword shall by the sword be slain. The
VIGOROUSLY bad character o! Courtney
gave no immunity to Mckinney TO STAY
him like dog. Mckinney is himself
low order of man. The writer knew him
in Virginia in the fall Of 1871, has known
him in Phoebe for some months, and has
never known him to do days work to
keep soul and body together. He is
the man who tried to commit suicide III
Virginia some months ago, but failed in
the attempt. OF the prompting cause
for the shooting OF Courtney We are not
advised. Certain it is that Mckinney had
no license from God or man to Stay him.
Courtney's death shows the feeling in this
community. There were men in Phoebe
who feared and consequently pretended
to respect him. There are men who ex-
ulted over the acquittal of Courtney for
the brutal murder OF Sullivan who now
rejoice that he has died with his boots
on. We are not dealing in sentimentality.
Morgan Courtney has met the fate due to
his crime. Let Mckinney meet a right
sous doom. 1t is fortunate that no quiet,
orderly citizen had been murdered as
Courtney was, for in that case the people
would have avenged his death by sum
marily hanging the assassin. Poor
Courtney while there were those who
were willing to swear to anything to
screen him from the gallows, and are
now laughing in their sleeves at his
tragic end, We pity him. May God have
mercy upon the soul Of Morgan Court
ney; may justice and law deal with his
cowardly assassin!

Many persons who joined the insulrec,

During the occupancy of Seville by the
insurrectionists, many buildings in vari-
Gus quarters were burned. In a numb +
of streets, every house and store was
robbed The conduct of General Con-
treras in bombarding defenseless towns,
is producing an immense reaction in
favor of the National Government. The
frigates seized at Carthagena are partly
manned by galley slaves. The Govern
men has received intelligence from
Malaga, that upon the arrival of the in
surgent irigate, the Commanders of the
English, French and Germand squadrons
held conference with Contereras, and
urged him to return the war vessels
seized to Carthagena. The Govern
ment is further informed that the Com
manders decided to hold Contereras as a
hostage until the vessels were returned.

Oranges wherever opportunity offers.
We learn, by letter to Mr.. Garretson,
that Oregon already numbers over thirty
oranges, and bids fair to soon surpass
the rapid progress OF even our own State.

As mining pump it has great adj
vantage from the fact that there is no
exhaust steam, the steam being condensed
in the cylinders after it performs its work,
so one of the great Inconvenience of
pumps in mines is removed. As there are
no pistons, piston-rods, stufing-boxes, lev
ers, cams, cranks or fiy-wheels, it requires
no fabrication, and is not liable to be af-
fected by mud, sand or grit of any kind
passing through it. With no moving
parts, other than the valves, it is not
likely to need repair, and as the water
flows quickly in and out of the cylinder,
it is noiseless in operation. The one we
saw at work ran beautifully, there being
no intermittent action whatever. The
simplicity of Its construction and fewness
of its parts are greatly in its favor, as it
can be sold cheaply.
The pump requires a cubic foot OF
steam under a given boiler pressure to
displace and elevate cubic foot of water
to a height due that pressure, and every
foot of steam does double doty-by ex-
erting pressure to force the water out
OF the cylinder and by creating through
its condensation vacuum, the pressure
of the atmosphere is utilized in filling the
cylinders. 1t only requires pressure of
from one to two pounds of steam to raise
the water to an extreme height of thirty
feet, and for every foot of elevation above
this point one-half pound of additional
pressure is necessary. The pump is a
model of simplicity in itself, and will re-
pay anyone interested in such things to
go to the Pacific Iron Works and examine
It's operation. There is little doubt but
that it will be extensively used in mining
operations for the reasons above mention
ed, and as it does not require an engineer
to run it, being automatic, it can be APP
piled in many places where steam-pumps
have not before been used. Small sized
pumps of this pattern are made for indie
pendent boiler feeders, and will operate
to feed boilers automatically. slowly or
rapidly, at any pressure.
1t is also adapted to raising large guam
titles of water for irrigating crops BY
thus utilizing the condensing power of the
steam, there can be no process by which
water can be elevated at so little expense.

A fearful plague ragged in the village.
In almost every farmhouse and cottage
there were some persons down with it.
Almost all not smitten with it had fed in
their selfish terror. There was no one
left to bury the dead. Scarcely any one
was left to comfort the dying, and to
cherish and rescue such of the sick as
might be saved, except the hunchback.
Ugly as he was, he went from house to
house like a sunbeam, the only ray of
hope to the poor creatures with whom he
sat up night and day.
But his turn came to be stricken down.
His eyes were sealed, his limbs frozen !;
and then his face was TRANSPORTED, and
then the hump expanded into snowy
wings, on which he fled awayto rest. The
secret was out. ''We always said he was
an angel, and that his wings were packed
away in the hump" exclaimed the suffer-
ers who watched his flight But when
his eyes opened, he saw again the orange
tip butterfly and the hawthorn bush. He
was again little, feeble, ugly boy, lying
on the warm grass beside the holy well.
Somehow, however, as he walked down
through the heather, thinking over his
strange experiences, he felt that his pill
grimage to the holy well had not been
made in vain.

How CAKES AsrEs LooKs.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Sun draws the following pen portrait of
"Old Mobilier:"
Ames is the most cheerful-looking per-
son of the whole sorry lot. see the Stn
calls him that great and good man. !"
Great he certainly is. He is the most pom
derous member of either House. He
stands about six feet three inches, and
weighs well on toward 300. He has i'm
mense arms and feet, and his long jaws
and stupendous nose constitute by far the
greater part of his person above the broad,
round, STOPPING shoulders. He is pointed
out a hundred times from the galleries
every day as Old Mobilier. 1t was an
amusing spectacle to see him recently with
his great feet resting on the arms of
neighboring chair, looking over, in his
heavy way, the famous memoranda"
wherewith he was going to corner and
crush those who had taken his stock and
moneys, and then repudiated them; while
in remote corners of the hall some of his
victims could be seen nervously watching
his aged eye and bobbing about like birds
under the charms of serpent.
