ROCHESTER, June LIST, 1873.
Ed ANTI Noaopoiist:
Since Wednesday we
lave been enjoying = pleasant season here.
Hon. Ebsnezer Ayres arrived on the after
noon of the day named. and on Thursday
attended the picnic Of the Rochester Grange,
in Bambers Grove. There were some four
hundred persons present, although the AT
fair was insuf6ciently advertised. and the
interesting aud instructive address of Mr..
Ayres. Notwithstanding il was an hour and
half long, and delivered in plain, farmer
like style, was lste6ed to with close atten-
ion, and gave very general satisfaction.
After the address, the company passed n
hour or two in social chat. and the younger
portion improvised "a dance on the reen. I"
An unfortunate misunderstanding led TO
announcements having been made that NJ r.
Ayres would speak on Friday both At Pleas
ant Grove and Viola town hall. As the
places are some twenty miles apart. OF
course both appointments could not be full
filled, and the claims Of Viola being re-
| garded the clearest, Mr.. Ayers was accord
ingly carried thither by thecommittee of re
ception of that Grange, and on Friday At
| ternoon addressed large audience in tha
town, speaking about two hours and hall
to attentive and deeply interested listeners
At Viola he was the guest Of z New

Editor Of Anti NonoPolast:
The tie Of your paper sets me of to-day
on train Of thought concerning the way in
which the good Of this world has always
been seized and enjoyed by few, shrewd
and brutally energetic men.
The most thoughtful part Of the American
people stand to-day dumb with terror and
perplexity. in view Of the evils that have
come upon as, and the greater evils that
threaten. Weare hemmed in by anomalies.
We are at once in the midst Of the most
promising and the most threatening devel
opponents of human life. All over the world
time honored shams and despotisms are GO
ing to nameless shreds and dissolu-
ton. Ii seems Is if He who said Il am

Editor Anti- Monopolist:
Being one of your readers when at home
and now that am on the tramp | will let
you readers know something of the count ry
have travelled over. In Blue Earth county
found men, women and children all out at
work at the obstruction of the grasshoppers.
We left there and travelled south-westward.
The crops through Blue Earth and Waton-
wan county are looking fine; Martin county
looks as if all the crops had been put in On
the shares. But little of the ground how
ever has been selected at all, and that looks
as if it had not been more than half done.
The soil of Martin county is very cold
clay soil and in the western part there are
great mounds. Although Jackson county
is about the same quality Of soil, except in
Mobiles county, is an improvement on the
former but crops are nothing to brag Of,
| They are better in the western part Of the
county. Rock county has some as pretty prai-
RE rs ever saw and crops look very well,
all through tie county. Lyons county

ROMANCE OF A BOOK.
$1,000 Offered for the Suppression of
Royal Scandal.

| Blbliophilists and dealers in old books have
had their curiosity and avarice excited in the
last three days by placard in which is an
nounced a reward of one thousand pounds in
gold tor a certain book. The mystery is to
learn the name of the volume and what there
is about it that makes it so precious The
only information given in the placard is that
it is certain book printed in London by L.
jackson. OF Newgate street in, 1880, with the
name Of NJ. Lindsell. Paternoster row, on
the title page, as publisher. It says that the
Lord Chancellor prohibited the publication
OF the work because it contained statements
regarding member of the royal family. An
address in Duke street, London, is given as
the place where the reward will be paid.
There is only one copy Of the nameless
book IN the United States, according to the
circular.
Why the title of the book for which a sum
is offered equal to that advertised for the re-
covery of the 5000, 900 worth of family Jewels
stolen from Lady D1dley, is not given, is
something that the bibliophiists cannot IN
derstand. The reward is the most extraor-
binary in their experience.
The year 1880 was the one in which the
fourth and last of the Georges who sat on the
throne of England died. The monarch life
was the subject ofAmany scandals, some of
which found their way INTO print, and were
subsequently suppressed By the Government

During the few weeks which we have spen

THE CUSTOM.HOUSE.

In our visit to the Custom House yester
day. We were struck with the signs of i'm
provement now going on in that old institu
| ton. The additions made in the grand cen
trail hall, the proposed mosaic pavement and
the opening of new doors, all serve to improve
the appearance of the buildings interior SC
much as to surprise those who were familia,
with its conformation.
There was nothing Of interest transpiring
IN the Revenue Department. The usual
routine business was going on, but beyond
this there was little to ripple the quiet of the
waters in this depot of great commercial
transactions.
The usual number of entries of foreign
goods were made, and the old platoon of
brokers were on hand around the desks of
the respective book-keepers, but there was
an evidence of the dullness of the times
depicted on the countenance of almost every
visitor which told much more plainly than
We can express the stagnation in business.

Russia is said to be building wooden-clad
iron vessel-of-war, the outer co ting of timber
being put on to protect the iron from injury.
The Baltimore Son thinks that perhaps the
grand march ofiIyentive genius is in circle, y
but if that be so, we shall return to wooden
vessels again, which is not at all likely, not
withstanding the defects of iron ships. The
fact of the matter is that new processes offer
ing solutions of old difficulties seldom
present their own defects even to cautions
observers until after they have been tried for
some time. The advantage claimed for iron
over wooden vessels are not SO generally ad-
mitted now as they We're when the first iron
ship was launched. but there is better I'M
derstanding now of the advantages and disad-
vantages Of both, and with clearer eyes inven-
tors may now seek for better methods or ma
terlals tor the building of vessels for marine
or war PURPOSES.

ectured at Kemper Hall last Monday afternoon
on the "Rise of Prussia" He took up the history
Of that portion of Europe, now included in the
German Empire, at point about ten centuries
ago,and brought it down to the sixteenth century
Gave the origin of the Prussian Eagle, with its
outspread wings-the body representing Prussis
proper, and one wing extending eastward and the
other westward, covering with its pinions, realms
over which It's protective power was spread. Des-
cribed graphically and forcibly the various
governmental changes which occurred previous
to the occupation Of those countries by the Ger.
manic races; their contentious and strifer for
their poss ession. Related the wars of the Cru.
saders and the Knights Templars, with their i'm
placable foes, the Saracens, until the entire coun
try was christlanized, and there was no further
need of these religious warriors. The lecture was
very interesting and instructive. The next lecture

HUNTLEY.
1.-THE GIRL YOU LOVE-"

Rev. E. D. Huntley, leetured to fall
house at Simmons Hall, last Monday evening
upon the subject OF matrimony, g zpressed by
the quotation above
He said he would not dare attempt to
speak upon the subject announced, did he
not know thai Kenosha people are very eni-
ent. Every boy is in love, nore or less,
before his moustache has attained to visible
size; and the youth hardly knows what is
the matter with him. The symptoms are
absent -mindedness, loss IF APPETITE, and at
tenipts at poetry. But af er time change
comes over our lover. He becomes skepti-
cal-prudence seems to govern him. Mar
rage is governed in great measure by the
price of corn-the price of food. Nature
says to the young man get married. The
young man looks at his girl, and then at his
salary, and says can't afford it, The Bible
says, 'sthe prudent woman is Of God" and
many o man is compelled SO say his wife is
not one of that kind. Men have stomachs.
and they have to be attended to. Women
otter underestimateth his ct;except when the
fashions change and new hat or cloak is
to be purchased. She should help hirn-bat
this should be a mutual afair-they should
help each ether. Woman's work should not
be drGdgery, or degrading. 1t is an honora-
BILE part of her work to save his strength
that he may use it in some other useful d.
rection. She should save his strength, his
tinae and his money, She should dress Tor
him and not for the effect it produces upon
the husband Of some other girl.
A young man should be good citizen, a
good business man. and good christian to
be ready to marry. Young men spend enough
for livery horses every year to support q
wife. The young III an should be loved sfor
himself, and not Tor his style or good clothes.
A man should love his wife persistently
Should love her before breakfast, after break
fast, when she is old and wriEkled. The hus-
band should make her his companion in pri-
vate and public Should be seen with her
on the street-certainly halt as often as he is
with some other woman! He should strive
to relieve her of all anxiety about himself,
He should love her and let his love for her
be known. If woman is loved she wants
| it to be known to the world.
