A Coop THING Messrs. J. B.
Teasdale and John Charles, two of
our most worthy young men, have
purchased the right of selling in
Waukesha, Grant and Iowa counties
patent iron known as '"The King
Iron" 1t is smoothing, CLOSING,
band and Auting iron, doirg all
work mentioned perfectly. Several
ladies who have tried it say it is a
very valuable acquisition to the
laundry, and from an examination
of it we are convinced the ladies are
right. When presented to them we
hope every reader of the TRIBUNE
viii give the Iron fair test and de-
eide for themselves Of its merits.

GEANaERs' ADDREss.-We pub
lish in full, in another place, the
address OF the Executive Commit
tee of the State Grange, to the
Patrons Of Husbandry in this State.
1t is timely, well tempered docu-
ment, and We hope its admonitions
will be needed by every granger in
Iowa county-that all will attend
the primary meetings and secure the
election of delegates to the County
and Congressional District Conven-
tons who will nominate such men
for the various positions as will
prove satisfactory to the people and
safe guardians Of the public inter-
ests. Especially would we urge
upon Republican Changers to at
tend their party caueuses, as we
believe that upon the Republican
party must devolye the task of
bringing about the reforms demand
ed, and correcting the evils COM
planned Of. That party is thorough
ly and peculiarly identified with the
industrial interests of the country,
and in the issue now before the peo-
pie, its position was taken at the
outset, and has been resolutely and
unswervingly maintained. There is
no need of fear but that every can
didate of the Republican party will
he able to say, in reply to any ques-
ton that may be put to him, tina.
he is neither to be frightened by
the threats nor purchased by the
money Of the monopolists.

A SUNDAY School excursion from Mineral
Point on Tuesday brought about 700 denizens
of that ancient town 10 Darlington to see the
4 paw aggravation. The church members
made excuses that they came along to SEQ tie
giraffe and other moral animals. but /. was q
matter Of general remark that the pious old
Fellows paid more attention to the perfor-
mances of the girl In Aesh.colored tights than
to any other feature Of The show. And ~

Democrat.
We always thought Knight had
little regard for truth in making
statements, and now our belief
is confirmed, for the few church
members who did not shut their
eyes during the performances of the
girl, and who had the best opportu-
mites of seeing, say her tights were
not Aesh-colored.

AAOSA C<ANAVCAAA(3bVO va AsAO ~ ia SSCASOT
tion of being commissioned to come
and settle up an immense estate
left by Humphrey King in Califor-
mia, has suddenly disappeared. Du-
ring his stay he contracted to buy
the farm of M. Richard James, in
the town of Waldwick, for the sum
of $1,000; he'd deed drawn and
paid for; contracted for all Mr..
James stock, and also for the farm
of James Heath bought fine car
riage of Peter Spang, at Dodgeville,
all for the King heirs; and did vari-
GUS other things calculated to con-
vince the people that he was what
he claimed to be, and that the King
family were heirs to q handsome
sum. He laid claim to being Sheriff
of Humbolt county, q U. s. Detec-
tive, Methodist minister, and vari-
GUS other honors; did many queer
things: such as attempting to
preach, driving reapers, letting
horses run away, breaking q ma
chine for a poor farmer, borrowing
clothes and never returning them,
&C., &c. On Friday last this mys-
terious fraud left, proceeded by
team to Warren, and taking train
out of that place before daylight
Saturday morning. What his OBJ
ject was no one pretends to even
conjecture. The only theft we hear
of hs practicing was on Mr.. Ferrell,
whose bureau drawer, in a room oc-
cupied by Fox, was robbed of SIS
that Fox had given Ferren the day
before to help repair reaper brok-
en- through his folly. He borrowed
S. from another man and forgot to
return it. TAssk 81 seem to be all
the money he raised, which is not
enough to reimburse him what he
laid out for making deeds and pay
ing for repair of reaper; so that
direct swindling seems not to have
been his aim. We hear that he
wanted the King heirs to sign some
papers he had, but they refused,
and from this it is presumed by
some that King may have left some
property, which this man aims to
get hold of and desired signatures
to the papers presented to aid him.
A dispatch has been sent to Califor-
MIA for information, but no answer
returned as yet, we believe.

Coupons ONCE MORE.

IT seems unnecessary to continue at
nresent a discussion of the coupon
question. Ike ground has been gone
over by the LEDGER and the main argu-
ments in favor of Mr.. Leagues policy
replied to. Some side issues remainun-
noticed because unimportant in this
connection and irrelevant. We have
adhered to the main question and en-
deayored to sustain the following propo-
sitions:
l. That past.due coupons should be
received in payment of the interest tax
assessed for the corresponding year.
2. That the interest fund should be
maintained inviolate.
3. That the coupons should be re-
deemed in the order of their maturity
at stated times dollar for dollar.
4. That any other course is unlawful,
injurious to public faith, and above all
n Unnecessary and demoralizing.
8. That the indefensible plea OF ne
cessity might be urged with equal pro-
urietry in regard to the general tax, the
school tax, or any other obligation as
sumed by the city,.
These are plain, sensible propositions
by which we shall abide, feeling assured
that time will prove their sOundness and
the great danger Of opening the door to
Reputation. A strict discharge of pub
lie obligations will tend to make men
more. careful in creating future debts,
while Reputation promotes spirit of
reckless extravaganza and abolishes the
distinction between right and wrong.

NEW YORK.

New York, March 27.-Dr. Howard
Crosby called the committee on legisla
ton appointed by the clergymen's mass
meeting for the suppression Of tippline
houses together in his church parlorE
yesterday afternoon. A petition to the
Legislature was adopted praying that
body to enact law which shall prevent
spirituous and intoxicating liquors being
drank on premises where they are sold,
only thereunto appcrtaining.
A great temperance meeting was held
last evening in the Ransom Place Bap-
fist church, Brooklyn. A few OF the
most noted temperance workers, men
and women, had seats in the pulpit and
just behind the ladies sat Charley
Meyers, the converted Bridge street
saloon keeper. The Vice President of
the Church Temperance Society pre-
sided, and while he was speaking Dio
Lewis entered and was greeted with re-
peated cheers. DR.. Fulton, pastor of
the church, said Dio Lewis had been in
vited to open the campaign in Brooklyn,
and that he would introduce him at once.
The gentleman introduced then said
that his only talent was in organizing
and managing, and he should do
it without respect to any ones feelings.
He then told the story of the beginning
and conduct of the movement in Ohio,
and presented the converted Meyers for
speech, but that person could not
make one, at least he only bowed to the
applauding audience. Dio Lewis called
for money to aid in the fight, and headed
the subscription list with one hundred
dollars, Dr. Cuyler following with an
other hundred. No other subscriptions
we're offered, but the ladies will press
their claims privately. DR.. Fulton re-
ported that three saloons had been
closed.

A letter from India says that more ex-
element prevails in the streets of Bonn
bay now than has been seen since the
mutiny of 1851 Some Of the lower
classes of Arabs, Africans and Mussel-
men made an attack on the parsees, en-
tering their houses and committing every
kind of depreciation. In the attacks
many on both sides are reported to have
been killed. The city authorities seem
scarcely equal to the emergency, and
roops in and around the city are not in
number to preserve order.
The cause of the Musselman hostility to
he parsees is that one of the latter
wrote a book on various religions, in
which something was thought to be said
.gainst the character of Mohamnied.

Curlous ResnIt from spiIting,

The Boston Herald of Thursday says.
At the Howard Atheneum last evening
as King Sarbro, the Japanese rope
walker, was performing he met with an
accident which nearly cost him his life.
He was making his ascension from the
stage to the gallery on a single rope,
and had proceeded about two thirds of
the way when he lost his foothold and
fell. Fortunately he had presence Of
mind enough 10 catch the rope with his
hands, and he lowered himself to the
stage by the hand.over-hand process. At
the time he slipped he was some twenty.
FIVE feet above the heads of the audience
in the parquet, and had he not saved
himself he would have landed on some
ones head, doubtless with fatal, and GER
tainly with serious results. The feat was
not again attempted. The cause of the
fall was the fact that the rope had been
coiled up in the gallery and had been
spit upon by some persons there, making
it slippery. Care will be taken that it
will not be in such condition again. The
incident made the audience shudder,
but the lucky Jap, was loudly APP
plauded when he reached the stage in
safety.

THE DIFFERENCE.

1t is urged that if coupons should be
received for taxes, scrip should likewise
be so received. The difference is this:
A special tax is levied and collected to
pay of the coupons as they fall due,
and the law requires it to be applied to
this purpose and to nothing else. The
coupon holders have right to expect
that this viii be done. No such specific
tax is collected to redeem the scrip. A
general tax is collected from property
and privileges to meet promlscuous ex'
uenses. From this fund scrip holders
are paid, if paid at all, but they are not
nreferred creditors. They simply take
their chances, knowing when they re-
ceiye the scrip that there is 30 speeiai'
fund created to redeem 1t. We are glad
to know that the present Mayor, as well
as the former, has managed to pay off
the police and fire departments in cur
rency. These are very properly re-
garded as preferred creditors in the
distribution of the general fund.

Hernea or the wave.

During the recent passage of the Gu
nard steamer klgeria from New York to
Liverpool storm, beginning on the I'D
and continuing until the 9th, threat
ened the destruction of the steamer.
On the 18th, while the gale was at its
6ereest, aud while the officers on deck
we're strapped to the bridge and to the
wheel. dismantled brig was discovered
at distance. The steamer was directed
to the wreck, and despite the fury of
the storm, was brought within reach Of
it. Captain Lott, Of the Algeria, sd-
dressing his crew, told them that he
would order no one TO 90 to the rescue,
but, IL any chose to volunteer, he would
permit them to 90. A boats crew IN
der third officer Hartford aud boatswain
White, volunteered, and, after being
three times eapsized, the life boat was
launched, and started in the dark upon
its errand Of mercy. An hour later it
returned with eight rescued sailors. SO
violent was the storm that il took some
hours 70 get these men aud the crew Of
the life boat on board the steamer; but
they were all eventually rescued, and
the steamer resumed her voyage. The
passengers subscribed $500 for the heroic
sailors who had thus successfully braved
death to rescue their fellow-men. but tbs
pecuniary reward was as nothing to the
honor which will forever attach 70 the
names Of the heroes.
The wrecked vessel was the NOrve
gian brig Fodlin, and had been dismau
lied thirfy-six hours before it was dis
covered BY the Algeria.
