WANT AND WRETcHEpNE>s. =
When we hear Of the grasshoppers in
the west, the lack of work and hard
times in the cities, the hurricane in
another place, the pestilence in an.
other and the famine somewhere else,
with the suffering consequent upon
each, we in this part of Iowa are
prone to feel, if We do not express, q
sense of thankfulness, ifnot of pride,
that such destitution and misery are
unknown here. Listen, then:
A few days ago some citizen Of
Cass township made the usual affida-
Wit concerning the supposed insanity
Of one Mrs. Clara Neiman, living at
Cedar Bluffs. In pursuance Of law,
Deputy Sheriff Maynard and Consta-
BILE Langham were on Tuesday dis
patched to bring the party before the
proper authorities. Arriving at the
Bluffs, they took with them the town
ship trustees, and proceeded to the
house. miserable shanty standing
in the brush on the bank Of the river
below the ferry road. The door was
found locked, and no attention being
paid to repeated summons, it was
finally broken in, when a scene was
presented that a cellar in city's low
est slums might produce and the pen
of Dickens portray. There was no
bedstead, table or chairs. An old
army blanket with few other rags,
on the floor in one corner, represent
ed the bed, and on stool, beside a
poor FIRE in an old cracked stove, sat
the mother, doubled up with rheuma-
tism and holding in her arms six
teen months old baby, while two girls
aged respectively fourteen and eleven
years, clung to her sides. All Of them
were barefooted, and not one, from
the mother down. was more than half
covered by the rigs which passed for
clothes. Sullen silence seemed to be
their first intention, but upon under
standing that the mother must go
with the officers the second girl broke
out in a volley of profanity and
abuse which would have startled a
raftsman. Something like an under
standing having been finally estab-
lished, the mother agreed to go, but
asked time to eat her dinner Break
ing up batter cake, baked on the
top Of the stove, the meal was made
between that and kernels of corn
picked from some ears which were
simmering in kettle. This done,
what few additional rags could be
found in the den were huddled upon
the mother and the two oldest girls,
and they were taken to the poor farm,
leaving the baby with . neighbor
until yesterday, when, the weather
permitting,it was brought to the same
place happy change, we should
think, for them all.

This Republican doughface could talk
thus in Georgia, while the vast majority
of the colored defenders of the Union, had
been virtually ostracised from political
life, kept from the polls by a barbaric
public opinion as effective as the bayonet.
He could rejoice thus over victories won
by Tammany Hall. White Leagues
armed with deadly rifles, and ku-klux
bands exercising a terrorism at will, in
sparcely populated districts. He seemed
to think the crowd whom he addressed,
would think more of him, if he told them
their bullets had slain his father, and yet be
fraternized with them. The black men,
who did not murder his father and proved
always the friend Of the Union soldier and
defender of the country when called to
its ranks, now kept from the ballot box by
the awakened demon of slavery, had none
of his sympathy. A pitiable doughface
indeed!
