Dutch Beauties.

A writer in the Jewish Messenger,
speaking of Leeuwarden, town in
Holland, says: "The women of Leeu-
warden deserve paragraph to them
selves. There is primitive air about
them which is refreshing after the
starched-up and made-up.to. order beau
ties that are elsewhere visible. They
are generally tall, with high forehead.
aquiline nose, lips closely set, and we'll
developed chin. The skin is white, the
cheeks delicately tinted (with colors
from natures atelieT), the eyes are
large and piercing. The young girls
have lost much of the Tristan bearing,
for their heads are crazed, doubtless, BY
the furbelows and fxings of the foreign
dressnsaker and mil}iner. AS among
the Quakers, the younger generation
are losing their reverence for the dis
tinctive dress which should be, every
fair Frisian's pride to wear. The mat
rons, however, adhere 10 the fashions
of their ancestors. They have almost
n masculine face, but the sternness is
relieved by the beauty of the eyes and
the fair skin. In southern Holland q
distinctive costume is worn by many,
but it is not 80 quaint rs in northern
Holland, in which Friesland is situated.
Take woman's head-dress, for instance.
A broad band of gold, OF horseshoe
shape, spans the forehead, aiding to
keep the hair back. The sides of the
band are adorned with large oval gold
rosettes. Above the band is reared a
lace cap, or veil, often of the best lace,
with edges or complete wings. dropping
to the neck. The ears glitter with
rings of gold and gems. These orna-
ments, which, are either Of gold or silver
even among the poorer classes, are re-
garded with great reverence, and trea-
sured as sacred heirlooms, pass from
mother to daughter for many genera
tions. The bands give soldierly
aspect to the women, who are generally
full-faced, not sunken. checked, and
walk with q firm tread. Their stout,
large shoes are in pleasing contrast to
the baby shoes which are considered
the style among our bellies of the lam
guild and languishing type"

In Brussels they haye taken one
practical step in regard to cremation,
which seems to indicate an opinion that
it is likely to be adopted instead of
burial. They propose to have an official
medioo.iegai examination Of every corpse
before it is burned.

An American writes from London !:
"I never, in the whole course of my
life, met such collection of idiots and
numbskulls as I did at the so.called
fashionable clubs. I asked Lord---at
dinner, one night, if he had ever been
to America. Yeth, ah, yeth, said he.
And did you like the country and the
people?' 1 inquired. .Yeth, ah, yeth.
'The two countries, said I, have much
in common-we speak the same Ian
guage, and many of our habits and ous-
toms are Identical. Yeth, ah, yeth,

| yersation. And now I hear the words
s'seth, sah, yeth,' continually, in imagi-

take man very deeply learned in
laws of human nature to understand
that if the whites, where they are in
the majority, combine to take pos
session of the Government, the
blacks where they are in majority,
will combine for a like purpose I?
This sort of combination points to
but one end, and that is war OF ra-

who would come Off conquerors.
But who wants such contest I?

Jasper county Republicans, and
those of them who are best inform
ed as to the political status Of that
county, confidently set down Samp-
sons majority in Gates home coun-
ty at 1900. Gates was nominated
because he bad more money than
both the Dixons, Stone, Mccormack,
Gault, and all the rest of the aspir-
ants together, and was willing to be
bled heavily for campaign expenses.
But he will find that he hasn't mo-
ney enough to buy an election. Pol
iticians may sell nomination, but
the people won't sell their votes.

L. II. Gates went to Newton a year
or two ago to buy Marsh Harvest
er, the price of which was s2lo. He
wanted the dealer to let him have it
for $l75, promising, in return for the
reduction, to use his influence with
his neighbors and the Patrons of
Husbandry to induce them to buy OF
the same dealer at $2l0. The Mon
roe Herald thinks that If he
will sell himself for 50 small a sum,
and try to sell the Patrons at the
same time, that the very day he
would land i'm Washington as the

would hang out his shingle emblaz-

Henry Clay Dean made. a political

Henry Clay Dean made a political
speech at Charlton few days since.
The weather being inclement, he ex-
pressed great surprise that anybody
had turned out to hear him. He
said the contest in Iowa Is between
two factions of the Republican party
and he very much enjoyed every
thrust they make at each other. He
did not belong to either of the fac
tions, or parties in Iowa, and If he
were citizen of the State would not
vote either ticket. He was Demo
crdt. He asserted that "for seventy
Ave years under Democratic rule not
a single man or woman i'm the Uni-
ted States was ever arrested or pun
ished without due process of law"
The Democratic party had always
been the especial champion of Free
dom of speech. He endeavored to
give the Republican party a terrible
chastisement for having successfully
fought to put down the rebellion and
preserve the Union, and for not hav-
ing made war upon Spain when the
Virginius trouble gave it such an
excellent opportunity. He denied
in the most positive terms that
the Democratic party had "ever en-
shaved one human being in this
country" The Attriot cites the above
statements, among others as samples
Of the falsity and absurdity of Deans
doctrines, and pronounces the speech
incoherent, and "a miserable failure
for Dean, both in point of matter and
delivery, but accounts for it by his
having so much bourbon in the
stomach, that it interfered with the
proper flow of bourbon ideas from
the head.

Mccormack, the head-center Of
the honest ~ party in this county
still insists that the transportation
and finance questions are not politi-
cal issues; and says they cannot be
because both parties agree upon
them. Shades Of Monopoly Upon
what was the Anti-Monopoly party
founded, If not upon the transporta-
tion issue? "The railroad monopo-
lies crushing the country by their
extravagant rates of transportation"
was the ralliying cry which deluded
thousands Of men into the opposition
party last year. That party made
great promises to the country in
this direction. 1t has made the mat

not an issue. Nc. sees the ABti-

ED. JOURNAL, Dear Sir:-Will
you allow me short space in your
paper for word or two, in regard to
Il portion Of an article in the Demo-
crdt, Of Oct. 9th, headed A False
hood Refuted. With the main
part of the article / have nothing to
do, at present, and will pass it with
the remark that presume it is about
as correct as the particular part that
refers to myself which reads as fol.
lows -" For the term of lS64-5, T..
f. Sperry, Treasurer, was paid in adj
dition to his salary, clerk hire to the
amount Of $G5I." If the author Of
the article could read and would go
to The records i'm the Auditors office
he would find that on the 3d day Of
January, 1866, / presented bill for
Deputy hire for the year 1865,
amounting to 5000, which was reject
ed. 1t was presented again at the
June session and laid over until the
the Sept. session 1866 at which time
the Board allowed $206; and that is
every cent that was ever allowed or.
asked for during tho term of l864-5.
The author of the article referred to
k1aew this TO be q fact, as the records
plainly show it. Where did he get
his figures some might ask. He may
have obtained them from this source,
viz: The Auditors books show that
orders were issued as follows: Dec.
22, 1864, f. Baker, for services naakiag
om Tar books for 1864, SO; Dec. 9Th
1865, Il. Baker, and Il. +. Sperry,
for nlnking oW Iltr Jooks for 1865,
1875. This work was done by us, at
the request Of the county Clerk,
whose duty it was to have it done.
1t was no part Of the Treasurer's work
and never has been; and Mr.. Baker
was employed TO do the job, the
same as G. Il. Boyttston is aoa0 doing
IL. They are so good at figures, per-
hdps, they will add his pay, to the
present Treasures salary. The
same records, referred to, in the
Auditors Office, fail to show that j
ever received q cent, for Deputy
hire for the year (l86D Of my term.
1t woald be only simple justice to
myself for me to say u word here
in regard TO the $206, allowed me for
the year 1865. There were circum-
stances connected with that transact
ion, and my term OF Office that had
not before occurred, and have not

"Why Anderson should be elect
ed judge" is the heading given to
an article in this weeks Democrat,
in which the editor labors to con-
vince his readers that they should
vote for Anderson, in order that our
terms of District court may COM
mence on Monday instead of Tues
day, as result Of electing a Judge
in our own county. He thinks some
costs may thus be saved to Marion
county by being selfish in this mat
ter; t.ias as wo have not had the
District Judge in Marion county for
II years, we should now :" have our
turn" Does he forget that Jasper
county has not had the District
Judge for longer period than II
years, and that every other county in
the District except Mahaska and
Keokuk, has better claim to turn
than has Marion?
But let Us see how this selfish theo-
ry will work. OF course we must
vote for both Andersons, and when
they are elected, Judge Anderson
will be here to open court oa Mon
day, but prosecuting Attorney An
derson will be at his home in Wash
ington county, nearly a hundred
miles away; and as the criminal
cases come first on the docket, and
cannot be proceeded with until the
prosecutor arrives, our court could
not be opened until Tuesday evening
or Wednesday morning. Of course
that would be much better than
Monday evening, and save thous-
ands of dollars to the county-after
the Anti-Monopoly fashion. A
great reform we shall have when the
two Andersons are elected. But
that will be hundred years hence,
and needs give us no concern.
