The Domestic stove Pipe,
fDnnL,lyy hre70s

tDunbu1Y het0S.
1t Is singular the influence a stove
pipe has upon married man.
There is nothing In this world he
respects so much. A passing load Of
furniture, may in its general appear
ance, be 80 grotesque as to call forth
the merriment of the thoughtless
young; If there is.a peice of stove
pipe In 1t no larger than "A hat, he
will not laugh. We don't care who
the man il, how he has been brought
up, what his position. wealth or in
fluence, there is that about II length
Of stove pipe which takes hold upon
his very soul with force he that is
helpless to resist. And the married
man who can stand within reaching
distance of "A stove pipe without feel
ing his heart throb, his hands clinch,
his hair raise and his THROAT grow
dry and husky, Is an anomaly which
does not exist. Stovepipe has only
one ingredient and that Is contrari-
ness. It is the most preverse article
in existence. 1t has done more to
create heartache, embitter lives,
break up homes and scrape off skin
than all other domestic articles. The
domestic screw driver pales its intel
lectual fires in the presence OF Il
stove pipe, and the family hammer
just paws in the dust and weeps.
We don't care how much pains are
taken to remember and keep in or
der the links, they will no. come
together MS they came apart. This
Is not joke, this Is not exaggera-
tion 1t issimply the solemn, heaven
born truth. If we appear unduly
excited In this matter, we are sorry
for 1t, but we cannot help all with
out feeling the blood Jingle at our
very fingers ends.

The Gon.ras vt.

In reference to the recent trial and
conviction Of jacob Brandt, late
deputy Iowa State Treasurer, for
embezzlement Of State funds, the
Muscatine Journal says:
1.-THE prompt detection, convic-
tion and punishment Of this man, u
recreant Republican official, by Re-
publican administration, is hi strik-
ing contrast with the manner in
which the Democrats treated Doc.

School Superintendent. who stole
Sl60, 900 Of the children 3 school fund,
He was permitted to leave the State
and went to Missouri, where he ed
tied Democratic paper, while A.
Il. Walling, another Democrat who
helped him perpetrate the theft, and
who has not to this day made resti-
tuition, was taken up by the Demo-
Gratis or the 18th Ohio District, at the
last general election. and Is now a
mem ber0f the new Democratic Com
gress, which we are told, Is to purge
the land Of oifics-holding rosues and
plunderers!

We have the highest authority
for fully denying the, malicious ru-
inors concerning Secretary Delano's
retirement from the Cabinet. The
President has the fullest confidence
in MFR. Delano's integrity, honesty,
and ability, and their personal reIa-
tons were never more cordial. At
torney General Williams has tender
ed his resignation voluntarily OH
account of desire to enter upon
professional duties. No action has
yet been taken upon the question by
the President, and all reports
are merely sensational. - Washington

Both Massachusetts and Michigan

stringent license law, while The lat

turers aud dealers i'm Intoxicating
liquors. A supplementary law. for
bids the sale OF liquors to fuitors and
habitual drunkarus, and persons al
ready under the influence of alco-
holic stiinuIants. The action of these
States, which certainly nre among
the most intelligent and 0rderly in
the Union, IL suggestive. - Register.
Does that last sentences mean that
the State Register il weakening and
half disposed to favor a license sys-
tenn us substitute for prohibition ?
Iowa has shown herself equal TO
tasks, in noble. patriotic effort,
which Massachusetts and Michigan
could not compass. Iowa may profit
by the experience Of those States and
make prohibition triumphantly sue
cessful where they have failed or lost
faith and given up. The examples
OF those States should stimulate
Iowa TO renewed determination and
effort against the license system,
rather than discourage her and in
duce the friends of temperance to
give up prohibition. RcpabIics may
live, Notwithstanding republics have
fallen.

LETTERS FROM THE SOUTH

DIX MRS. FRANCES d. GAGE.
Knoxville journal. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1874-1986, 1875-05-13

The Brooklyn trial has became
monotonously a drag. There is
hardly any material left for a fresh
sensation. If Mrs. Tilton were put
upon the stand, and her daughter
Florence should be summoned as a
rebutting witness, the dreadful char
acter Of the situation might revive
the waning fires Of the scandal. But,
rs matters rest, the case ia full OF
lead-like indecency that begins to
weigh upon the popular conscience,
having ceased to inflame the popular
lust. Register.
That indecency should have begun
to "weigh" and the inflammation
should have ceased months ago; and
but for the 'feeding Of the unholy
fires" by the press they would have
long since ceased to burn. Let the
scandal die as soon as possible. The
public mind has surely been suf1i-
GENTLY debased by it already.

ANOTHER Brooklyn preacher the
Rev. Nevin Woodside, has become in;
wolyed in a scandal. In this case
there is both woman and baby
But it turns out that the woman and
the baby belong to another man, to
whom she was secretly married by a
colored parson, and who died about
a year ago; that little red lounges
were not among the lady's household
|plunder, and that Wilkeson's red
night shirt and blue profanity were
utterly unknown to the affair. There
fore, Brother Woodside shines forth
a Christian gentleman Of true in
wardness, and, lifted from the ragged
edge of despair, steps down and out
with the trail Of the serpent carefully
expunged from his moral garments.

In Ia aaid TINT SO,

--IT is said that Secretary Delano
is preparing a very large hornets
nest for Messrs. Brjstow and Jewell,
on the score of their having initiated
the movement against him in the
Cabinet. Those who profess to know
predict that there will be a decided
eruption in the Cabinet at an early
day. Delano mysteriously hints that
there are papers on file in his De:

s'SpoSGISG" ON NEwspNrERs.-
Every man thinks newspaper fair
game. If society or any body of
men get up concert or a ball, or
other form of entertainment, the
object of which is to put money in
their pockets, OF, if the proceeds are
to be devoted to charitable purposes
to add to their own gloriGcation, they
become very indignant if the pro-
prietors Of a newspaper do not assist
them by a series of gratuitous adver-
tisements for several weeks, before
the event takes place. These gen
tlemen should remember that literary
men, in this practical age, work for
money as we'll as for fame, principal
lily for the former, however, and the
business manager of newspaper, if
he wishes to keep on the safe side Of
| the ledger, conducts his charge on
the same principle as the head Of
any business establishment. People
who are getting up ball would feel
chary of asking present Of pair OF
gloves from any merchant on that
account, yet asking and expecting to
receive a gratuitous advertisement is
a similar demand. The editor of the
Marlboro Mass.) Journal states the
case very plainly when he informs
his readers that "we long ago adopt
ed the plan of charging our regular
reading notice price for all editoria
announcements Of entertainments tt
which an admission fee is affixed
| In the way Of news topics we freely
and gladly insert sketches OF all en-
, tertainments after they have becom'

JUST BEFORE SUNRISE.
BY A. B. STREET.

Nights wavering star, in heaven afar,
With growing pearl is blending,
And up the height of sky the light
In streaks is rich ascending.
The village wakes; each roof outbreaks
In some wreaths upward curling;
And joins the mist, by the soft light kissed,
From the smooth pond unfurling,
Bold clanticleer chokes ont his cheer,
His nodding neck a-glitter;
Wait strutting gait then seeks Ills mate,
Scratching amid the litter.
The oxen start the creaking cart
To the hay field in the hollow;
And topper Jake reels half awake,
His morning dram to swallow.
The ale-house red IS open spread,
Where, deep in cacking tattle,
The patriarchs sit at twilight-hit,
While lads drive home the cattle.
From the crossing road to his green abode
The deacon slowly energies,
And toward the door ofthe corner store
His pacing pony urges. a.
With eggs and butter, and fowls a-futter,
While Rob at the Manager battens,
Within he goes, with daughter Rose,
To choose her silks and satins.
In fleecy lock, on trip the flock,
Or pause the grass to nibb.e;
While on the walk blends manly talk
| With childhood's merry treble.
Shrill shrieking pup comes dashing up
Stops, grins as ifin banter;
His fore-foot rears, perks sharp his ears
Then off in tbree-legged canter. @
Geese biting, stoop with recks a-loop;
Boys scranlbling by and fighting;
With many a dove from the blue abov'
! On dainty toes alighting.
With sleepy quack from the corn-hous
back,
In nook of the farm yard lurking,
The ducks march ont and feed about,
Their crescent bodies jerking.
Tolls up the lane the lurching vain,
Tie hay-dome barnwarl bringing;
While the pin-hook, along the brook,
A lad with line is swinging.
And heed and hear. in MARBLES clear,
The bobolink in the meadow,
Now seen, now lost, as his sheen is crosse
BY sunshine or by shadow.
The robins song floats sweet along
From the old crooked apple,
Where Brindle lies and whisks the flic
Notified in dancing dapple.
sun the hill has won,
Where he pours ont his splendors;
, And grateful nature in every creature
Thanks the Great Oliver renders.
