for sleep and refreshment. To him
an hour after midnight is probably
as good as two hours before it, and
even then his sleep will not so COM

later but lie longer. His best sleep
probably lies in the early morning
hours, when all the nervous excite

absolute rest.

From Atlantic Telegraph.

The Winterset Neaos calls J. T.
Young, Secretary of State, a lawyer.
That Is not correct. Mr.. Young is q
farmer and has no other occupation.
He was elected county clerk Of Mon.
roe county from his farm few years
ago, and expects to return to the
pursuits OF agriculture when he con-
cludes his second term as secretary
of state--if he is honored with a re-
election as we certainly hope and ex-
pect be will be. However, we do
not claim any especial virtue for him
when we say he is farmer. Farm
ers have no especial claims apon Of
flee above other worthy and honest
citizens. This is free country, and
one man has just as good right to
aspire to Office as another. Occupa-
ton should have nothing to do with
it. The question should not be ''is
he farmer" but sis he honest-is
he capable ?" All sentiments con-
trary to this are the expressions of
demsgogues. We believe all sensi-
BILE farmers hold opinions exactly in
harmony with what we have said.

the following terms
Fifty-6ve years before the chris
tian era, Julius Caesar in command
OF the Roman army, attempted the
conquest of the ancient Britons. He
was bravely met on the coast of

him and his army back to Rome in

wall, are the only pure remaining
Britons on the earth. They sre in
dustrious and are daring sailors on
the ocean. They are miners, diving
for the wealth of the world in the
bosom of the mountains. They are
race which never was conquered.
The Welch are eminently a religious
people, and have given to the world
some of the greatest christian schol-
ais and christian ministers of mod
ern times, suoh as Sir William Jones
and Christmas Evans.
Wales never gave to the world an
infidel author, but she gave to the
United States, General Charles Lee,
of the Revolutionary war. America
was largely settled by these brave
and hardy races of Europe-who
were Injured to tolls and hardships.
These are the sources of her wealth
and the foundation of her moral
greatness.-Ioaoa City Republican,

Caynor's Pedigree.

BosToN, July 29.-A reporter this
morning sought some information
about VIM. G. Gaynor, who caused
the arrest of Tilton, and ascertained
that he was formerly in the employ
of G. M. Everett & Co., of the Mer.
chants Bureau for Collections, as an
attorney. If appears that this firm
hired Gaynor in the fall of 1872, In
Utica, where he was employed as a
law clerk on salary of ten dollars a
week. Everett 81 Co. gave him two
thousand dollars year. Gaynor res
mained here until January, 1874,
when, failing to give satisfaction he
was discharged. He next turned
up as attorney for another collection
firm, and Immediately commenced
an attempt Everett says, to ruin his
(Everett's) business, by sending let
ters to his clients derogatory to him,
all of which Everett denounces. as
false. Gaynor brought suits against
Everett, but did not carry any Of
them into court In March last he
went to- New York or Brooklyn
Mr.. Everett did not think was at al
intimate with General Butler, as hal
been reported, but knew he was ar

The Dubuque Times says that
President Graves, now i'll Europe,
sends unfavorable news concerning
the prospects of the Iowa Pacific
Road. On his return to London, he
found capitalists fighting shy of
Western railroads, alleging as the
cause that Grange action was max
ing the bonds of even some of the
old roads very poor investments, and
those Of the new about worthless.-
They preferred to look to other
sources for investment. So the good
prospects Mr.. Graves supposed he
had before him when he LETT Europe
the first time were knocked in the
head. Mr.. Graves is said to have
sought syndicate after syndicate, al
ways with the unfailing response that
the Changers were running Western
railroad bonds as Investments
some of the capitalists were disposed
to consider the proposition Mr..
Graves had to offer, and hence the
hope that has been held out to him !;
but he was referred from one to the
other until hope was eked out.

TROUBLE IN THEIR CAMP.

1t was currently reported and gen.
orally believed in Ottumwa, at the
time of the anti.monop convention
that Sam Evans, George Gillespie,
and Dan Tisdale were responsible
for the defeat of J. w. Dixon of
Wapello, for the anti.monop nomin-
alton for Congress. These three
worthless worked against him, and
with good effect. The following
from Sam Evans Democrat, gives
more light upon the subject:
Mr.. J. w. Dixon, late candidate
before the Anti-Monopoly Conven
ton tor Congress attributes his de-
feat to the editor of his paper. In
the presence Of three or four gentle
man, on Wednesday evening of last
week, Mr.. Dixon addressed to the
editor of the Democrat the substance
of the following language:
"You have defeated me, but now
give you notice that / am free l
am no longer candidate and l pro-
pose to make it warm for you. l
have been keeping the Democrats
off your back for long time now l
shall let them loose on you and they
will draw their support from you. l
have unsheathed the scalping knife.
This is about the language, and is
really the substance of the remarks
of the late defeated.
