Iowa s. Nub1ias. -

There was o good deal of interest
manifested in the pork corner, and
in fact, throughout the Exchange,
yesterday, over four ears of corn
brought down to Bussey & Co., OF
this city, by Col. Geo. Duffield, of
Bloomfield, Iowa. They were label
ed " Iowa Nubbins; sad result of
drouth and grasshoppers in Iowa"
they were only fourteen inches long,
eight inches in circumference and
two pounds in weight per ear, or
eight pounds altogether. If the
grasshoppers and drouth had not
been so fearfully bad in the North
west, the poor farmer whose fields
have nothing better than these mis-
cradle 'nubbins " might have made
on average crop.--,S. Louis Demo

Going to Pieces ~" More Dis
integration -" A Bomshell bursts
in the camp Of the Anti-Monopo-
lists" GA leader Of that party Re-
pudiates the Fraud called Anti-Mon-
opoly." These are the headings
with which the Newton Headlight
introduces letter from Capt. l.. f.
Mullins, of Jasper county, announc-
ing ghis withdrawal from the Anti
Monop. Party. lie lays bare some
of the secret work by which Gates
secured the nomination for Congress
showing that the Anti-Monopoly
party of Jasper county favored Dix
on Of Wapello, instead of Gates,
and selected delegates accordingly,
but were sold out and betrayed, to
advance Gates. He joined the party
in good faith, supposing its
purposes honest, end that its
pledges would.be faithfully carried
out; but subsequent developments
satisfy me that the movement is q
fraud, and the leaders Of it dema'
gogues and oilice-seeking politicians,
looking after self-aggradnizement
instead of the interests OF the dear
people."

The Appauoose Times, having read
the Citizens report of Gates's, Cen
terville speech says it is almost iden-
tically the same one which its Edit
or heard Gates deliver at Cincinnati,
Appnaoose county. This corrobor-
ates the general confirmation Of the
fact that the report published was
correct. The Times says that Judging
from expressions it has heard, the
speech made lots Of votes for Samp-
son.

Never was there weaker, more
ridiculous and contemtible effort
made by candidate for Congress.
1t consisted alcne OF a sing-song
charge of corruption and reckless
ness, without the merit even Of a
hint of remedy, save the sending
OF Gates to Congress.
Should Gates make that speech in
every school-district in this District
the election of Judge Sampson will
be assured by 1000 majority. To
our certain knowledge Gates made
six votes for Sampson in the small
audience that listened to him here.

approaches the Graveyard.

Mccormack has found a Republl-
can down in Dallas township who
promises to vote part of the Anti
Monop ticket and fill up with Radi-
Gals. Therefore the heart of the
Boss greatly rejoices, and he hastens
to tell his readers that victory is
certain for the PEOPLE" He thinks
the Ants will carry Polk, Perry and
Dallas townships, and possibly Lib
erty. He hasn't a word to say about
Clay, Franklin, Indiana, Knoxville,
Lake Prairie, Pleasant Grove, Red
Rock, Summit, Swan, Union and
Washington.
In all parts of the county there are
hundreds of men who voted the
Anti and Independent ticket last fall
who will vote the Republican ticket
this year. They have seen enough
of the A. M. humbug, and can't be
coaxed to lend their influence and
votes to it any further. Not one OF
| the promises made to them before
the election last year has been re-
deemed. They see no power or dis
position in the party to correct any
of the evils of which SO great COM
plant was made. They see that ev-
cry convention of the party is man.

The Anti Monopoly party is wan

The Vote Oh tac salary Grab,

When yon get right down to the
vote on the back-pay bill, measure
which some of our Democratic
friends are SO fond Of referring to,
here are few facts which these small
Democratic politicians who talk SO
much and know so little, will find
great profit In contemplating. The
Republican party was first to de"
nounce and repudiate the measure
and it is the only party which has
sieEaiis isssnkes, and punished its
Senators and Representatives who
voted for the bill. But when a Dem
ocrat falls back on this salary grab
as his only stock in argument, ''mark
you, how plain tale shall set him
down." IF as large a proportion
of the Democratic members had vUt-
ed against the bill as did the Re-
publicans, it would have been defeat
ed, as the following analysis Of the
vote will show, aud this could have
been seen by the Democrats long
ago if there was sufficient intelli-
gence in that party to think of going
to the records for proof of anything,
instead Of accepting the statement OF
one Of their leading prints, which is
about as reliable as an auctioneer's
catalogue.
In the Senate vote thirteen Of the
yeas were Democrats or Liberals, all
the same thing, Anti-Monopolists all
through, being five more than ma
.iority for the bill.
Ten were out going Senators, be-
ing one more than the majority for
the bill.
Five neutrality-suspicious. and
five outgoing Democrats voted for
the bill.
Twenty-three Republicans and
thirteen Democrats voted for the
bill.
Twenty-six Southern Senators and
ten Northern Senators voted for the
bill.
In the vote against the bill COM
prised twenty-one Republicans, SIX
Democrats, three Southern Senators
twenty-four Northern Senators, two
outgoing Senator'S only, twenty-five
Senators whose terms continue.
1t will be seen that though there
are more than twice as many Eepub-
licans as Democrats and Liberals In
the Senate, more than half the voters
for thesbill were Democrats-that II,
Republicans twenty three, Demo
Gratis and Liberals thirteen.
In the House Of Representatives
the vote stood, one hundred and two
for the bill, and of this number fifty
two were Republicans and flfty DEM
ocrats. OF these, fifty-fve were out
going members. Twenty-fOur SOUTH
ern Republicans and thirty Southern
Democrats voted for the bill.
Against the bill in the House were
arrayed ssixty-two Republicans and
only thisty-three Democrats. The
aggregate vote Of the two Houses
stands, for the bill, seventy-five Re.
publicans, sixty-three Democrats,

USE OF FLowERs.-Many persons fancy
they love flowers, they certainly like their
effective use. They like bouquets, and
baskets of hot house bloom, they like
flowers t., adnrn the person and the table,
to decorate the altar aud the tomb, but
have no pleasure in their growth. The
student of nature, on the other hand, who
loves flowers. not only delights in their
decorative use, but also in his own
achievements. He sees the beautiful bios
som in the tiny seed when be commits it
to the earth, 'exults in it's termination,
watches with tender interest the develop
mept of leaf and stem, bud and flower, is
more than happy in fulfilling the condi
culiarities, the delicate organizationsof all
it's tissues, the subtle web of leaf and petal,
and at last when it stands before him with
its browning glory, he can truly say it has
been to him joy at every stage of it's ,ad-
vance,. Such person is privileged to sit
at royal baDquets of which the former class
have scarcely heard. Nature is ever true
to US, as well as to herself, and those who
love her much cannot we'll be false. The
story of Picciola is only a strongly drawn
picture of the pleasure experienced by
those who have a genuine regard for her
work. Fondness for flowers is not given
to professional gardeners alone, nor yet to
women or poets, but cheers the heart re-
CARELESS of condition. 1t often throws a
bit of bright color into the poorest and
narrowest life, and sometimes, like gar
lands wreathing a stately column, it adorns
the highest ambitions and noblest purposes.
We may not become enthusiasts, but we
may have much enjoyment in our labor:
and the taste that is slight may be improved
by cult vatiOu. --h

transformation with which night dissolves
into the glories of tho day (; when the watch
stars close their holy eyes as the timid blush
of morning kindles the eastern horizon when
the tide of light flows in to fill the celestial
canopy, and when, as a climax to the changing
scene, the glorious sun bursts open the gates
of the morning, and proclaims himself the lord
of rhe dmv. How fearfuily different is the
vision Of sunrise upon the moor! No gentle
transition from darkness to light, no imper-
ceptible melting of night into day. From an
horis,n dark as moouless midnight the snn
slowly ascends-a lurd ball Of brightness, in
fnitely more dazzling than it can appear to
an earthly eye, gliding the submits of the
forth like islands of light in sea of darkness,
while their bases and surrounding valleys are
shrouded in impenetrable gloom.
Slowly the silvery flood of lighG pours down
the mountain flakes, and the shadows, still of
pitchy blackness, slowly shorten as the sun,
after the lapse of one hundred and seventy
hours attains it's meridian height. If we look
aloft to the lunar heavens we behold the stars,
though at MONDAY. with q steady lustre, un.
sullied even with the effect of twinkling
scintllation, for these phenomena are due to
the varying currents of an atmosphere
For fourteen days the sun pours down his
fiery rays upon an arid soil never sheltered by
welcome cloud, never refreshed by genial
shower, till that soil becomes heated to

curtain of evening closes around the lunar

aud dreary night of three hundred and twenty
eight hours duration, and a severity of cold
that reduces the lately parched surface to a
temperature probably three hundred degrees
below the freezing point of water.

Conservation of the Church to the Sacred Heart
tCathollc Review. ]

catholic Review
The following is translation of the let
ter which the members of the Congregation
of the Sacred Heart of Jesus intend send
ing his Holiness in consequence of the
promise he recently made Father Chevalier
that he would dedicate the whole Church
to the Most Sacred Heart of our Lord, if
such was the wish of the Catholic world:
Most Holy Father We lay at your feet this
ardent appeal, wherein we entreat of you to
dedicate the Universal Church to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. AS rivers return to the ocean
which produced them, SO the Church returns
to the source from whence she sprang. This
divine source is the Sacred Heart of Jesus; 1T
is your word, Most Holy Father, Cor iIud unde
prodiri Ecclesia From His Heart came the
Church. And your word is also that of St.
Augustine: "The Church was born of the
heart of our Lord as he died ON the Cross ;" it
is the word of ST. John Chrysostom Christ
has used His heart to found the Church )" 1T is
the2word of the seraphic St. Banaventure:
" The Church was formed of the Heart of Jesus
Christ )" 1T is the word of all tradition. After
eighteen centuries of hard work and of labo-
rious life, the Church of God has reached
time of persecution which makes you cry out
in the midst of the tempest with a voice full
of distress indeed, but also of hope. The
Church and society have no other hope than
in the Sacred Heart of Jesus; it is He who
also will cure her of all her woe. Propagate
this devotion everywhere. 1t will save the
world" Stree this is the case, Most Holy
Father, consecrate we implore you, the Holy
Church to the Divine Heart of Jesus. This
inviolable port will be the place where the
bark of Peter will find peace. And the solemn
day of it's consecration will open for all Ca
tholic nations, we feel convinced, that era of
peace and prosperity which she has so long
awaited. ..
These are, Most Holy Father, the wishes of
your most devoted children.
Issoudun, June II, 1874. Feast Of the Sacred
Of Jesus.
Note-We request the faithful to send
back their copies of this supplicatop,
properly signed, to Father Chevalier, Su-
perior of the Missionaries of the Sacred
Heart at Issodoun Indre), France, before
Octoberl l, 1874. They will be then bound
of his Holiness on October II, the feast of
the Blessed Margaret Mary Aiacoque, and
on the anniversary of the conservation of
France to the Sacred Heart.
