A PERSONAL MATrER.-Our attention
has been directed to an article in the Nc.
Grcgor News of last week, containing a
malignant and entirely unprovoked per.
sonal attack upon the editor of the Bull
LETIN. We have no personal acquaint
ancc with the editor of the Ne,os, do not
know that we ever saw him, certainly
have had no controversy with him, and
but tor some circumstances in the Con
gressional campaign would find it impos-
sible to account for so indicative and un.
gentlemanly an assault.
If, however, a suspicion voluntarily and
freely expressed to us by Republicans in
McGregor, and which we found quite OK.
tensively INDUCED in in other portions OF
the district concerning the influences
which induced the Ne'os to support the as.
pirations of d. N. Cooley, have any found
alton in fact, we can not only afford to
treat the scurrility of the Ne,os with con
tempt but have an easy solution of its ami
mus.
While speaking of this matter, we de
sire to express our appreciation of the
very generous and handsome manner in
which the Elkader Journal repels the
falsehoods and scurrilous imputations OF
the Nesos against ourselves. 1t is entirely
characteristic of the whole-hcarted, impul
sive friendship of our friend Shannon
and while we protest against its too fiat
tering estimate of ourselves, we value i,
rs an unsolicited act of generosity and
J friendship.

Our FIREMEN.-The Manchester Pres,
wind up its account of the Fireman's Pic
mic last week with the following compli
mcntary allusion to the Independence
Firemcn:
Independence has fine steam fire en-
CINE, in the hands of splendid company
of men, who have been tried and moi
found wanting, and who are hardy and
capable of hard work in case of necessi
ty. Our neighbor may well be proud of
her fire department, as we are of ours,
although our boys have not, as yet, been
called upon to go through any such an
ordeal as the Independence boys passed
through this spring. But, in the Ian
guage of the toast, may both fire depart
ments "bc always ready but not wanted.

Gagged AT LAsT.-Our readers will re-
member the exploits of one Reinllartl
Sprcnger, a German music teacher, who
about one year since carried full sail in
our city, Negotiating himself into the con-
fidencc of some of his countrymen, and
finally rounded up his career here by steal
ing valuable watch from A. LeytZc with
which he decampcd. Nothing was heard
of him until few weeks ago when
Sheriff FAIR got wind of the bird at Of
tumwa and last week went after him. file
is now safely lodged in the Jail of this
county, from which he stands fair
chance Of being removed to the big stone
quarrics at Anamosa, after his case shall
have been investigated by the courts.

THE ALDINE FOR AUGUsT.-Thcre is
much in an artistic way in the August Al
dine which will delight all lovers of the
beautiful Nothing more graceful or
charming has ever been seen in an Amer
lean magazine than the full-page picture
called "'The Village Beauty" drawn and
engraved by the eminent French Artist,
G. Metals. The flowers and shrubbcry
by which she is surrounded, the natural
ness of the drapcry in which she is cloth
ed, the rustic path she treads, the innocent
expression of her face, all combine to
make rare and lovely picture. This
work has been engraved in Il delicate and
exquisite style, resembling bank-nOte en-
cravings. Mr.. J. G. Woodward contrib
utes series of grand and bold pictures of
the Palisades of the Hudson, some of the
most striking scenery in America. The
full-page picture Of the 'Pinnacles Of the
Palisades" is massive and solid in appear
ance, and will give the reader new idea
of these great towers of stone. Two
large pictures, contributed by Peter Nor
gan, called 1.-THE Shady lane" and 1.-The
Sunny Slope" are sure to arrest the at
tention and please the eye, since they rep
resent pastoral scenes with which all
Americans are familiar The cattle and
sheep in the woods, or seeking the brook
side for water, are true to life and full of
the spirit of summer time. A picture,
full-page, remarkable for its light and
shade. its rich foliage, and deep, cleas wa
tiers, is from the lencil of Kruseman van
Elton, and is a view on Esopus Creek,
near Kingston, N. Y. The other illustra-
tons in this number consist of three fine
views of Westminster Abbey, a portrait
of Augustin Daily and 1.-The Breakfast"
by Epp, German artist The literary
contents of the August Aldine consis, Of
seventeen articles, all original, and all re-
plcte with interest. Joseph Watson writes
of civilian IIogarth;" Fannie Roper
Fcudge has an article on "White Elc
plants" Eugene Foa relates an interest
ing incident in the life of Ludwig Won Be-
thoven; Mrs. NJ. f. w. Sherwood has a
story called my Only Ghost" ]. c. Stock
bridge has an essay called Memories of
Ficsolc," and Mrs. E. w. Winthrop, sis
ter of the lamcnted Theodore Winthrop,
has an article on American English, and
English English Dr. Fuller Walker
has a second article on Westminster Alb
hey. The poems and numerous editorial
articles in the August Aldine are of the
usual merit and interest. Subscription

RIGHT.-The answer that one of our
most cnterprising and honorable business
man gives to the bummers who approach
him soliciting orders for printing to be
done abroad, has the right ring. He
says, "You can do my printing when
there is no longer printers in Indepea.
dence to do it, and not before" If the
whole community would follow the exam
pie of some of our business men and send
off to Dubuque and elsewhere for their
dry goods and groceries, we would soon
here doleful complaint about it Some
of the very men who find fault with the
Changers for going abroad for supplies
do not seem TO realize that they have Gel
them the example again and again in re
gard to printing and other wants thai
might be % well and chearly supplied
here.

Dear Sir:-Allow me to
thank you heartily for not publishing any
thing of this disgusting Beecher-Tilton

AS matter of taste alone, your course
deserves commentator, while your evil
dent determination to maintain the high

you should fail to crafty the morbid Gu

think, be fully appreciated and heartily
approved by large majority of your sub

THE Autobiography county convention,
to nominate county officers, is called to
meet September 10th, one week after
the Republican Convention. 1t seems
our Anti Monopoly friends are not so
confident, that they can afford to launch
out upon their own course. but must wait
to see if capital cannot be made out OF
the mistakes or shortcomings of the Re
publican Convention. Already We hear
of combinations in the ranks of the oppo-
sition, to catch the vote of certain ma
tionality or certain church, and we pre-
dict that their county nominations will be
made to this end. Yet this is the party
which is so savagely opposed to dema-
gogucism and wire pulling, which is in
favor of electing officers on their merits
and letting the Office to seek the man, and
so on, dd naWseum.
