The people all over the State are speak
ing of the nomination of DR.. A. B. Mon
ahan for Representative as one fit to be
made. The Columbus correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says:
"Of the above, DR.. A. B. Monahan, of
Jackson,.is one of the best nominations
that could be made He is sound, use
full, sterling, and influential citizen, and
will be fully up to the requirements of a
Representative. Jackson county has
once or twice been shaky in politics with
in the last ten years, but the candidacy
of Dr. Monahan will set that all right,
and he will be elected by handsome
and even hattering majority"
The Portsmouth Republican says:
"Our popular friend DR.. A. B. Mona
han has received the Republican nomi-
nation for Representative of Jackson
county He is man of marked ability. !"
The Athens Messenger says:
"Dr. A. B. Monahan, of jackson G. H,
has been nominated by the Republicans
of Jackson county as their candidate for
the Legislature The Dr. was formerly a
resident of Athens county, which he ably
represented in the General Assembly.
O& a high order of ability, answering
integrity, and indefatigable energy, the
Republicans of jackson are to be con-
graduated that they are to be so happily
represented in the next Legislature.

thought an impossible task-number-
ing the hairs Of the head. 1t amour
ces that there are from 100000 to
100000 hairs in lady's head, and
then computes their value by relating
an incident which it says happened
to Madame Nilsson during her resi-
dence in New York city. She was
at fancy fair, and an admirer asked
her the price Of single hair from he I
head. She said $40, ''and in a few
moments the Swedish songstress was
surrounded by admirers anxious to
buy a hair at the same rate" The
proceeds were given 10 the fair. AT
this rate, the value of Madame Nils
sons hair is $2,000,000.

noble young men. They had high

would die at their country's call.
Were they going forth to battle!

the Council Bluffs -ipnpareH has
the following by way Of in,roda3t on
to the Iowa people Of the Republican
nominee for Supreme Judge:
Mr.. Adams is, We believe, a native
of Vermont. His father was a far
mer, and our next Judge was brought
up to and followed the same occupa-
ton until he entered Dartmouth Col
lege, from which institution he grad
uated with honor in lS4s. Having
completed the prescribed course of
study in the law school connected
with Harvard University, Mr.. Adams
entered the law office of Ex-Governor
Coolidge, of Windsor, Vermont, with
whom he formed partnership on the
day he was admitted to the bar.
This partnership, so auspiciously be-
gun, continued until the wear 1854,
when Mr.. Adams removed to Du-
buque, this State, where he has ever
since resided. As an attorney he is
said by those who should know, to
hold rank second to no one in this
part of the West. Acute. logical,
profound, thoroughly disciplined and
cultivated, he has been pronounced,
and no doubt righ,fully, as standing
high as regards legal, classical and
general learning and literature, and
is, therefore, pre-eminently qualified
for the Office 10 which he is already
as good as elected.

An Illinois writer in the Country
fenttemdn discovers a difference in
the varieties Of the Peachblow pota-
to-:
"The New jersey Peachblow, pro,
cured, from New York city, has a TO-
llage and growth greatly differing
from the Michigan Peachblow. The
former has an extraordinary vigor-
GUS growth, very broad shining leaves
of a green so deep that it offers a
suggestion of blue, while the growth
of the latter is scarcely less strong
but with narrow leaves of a Compare
lively pale green. Evidently the
New Jersey Peachblow, and that of
Michigan, are either two different
kinds, or the one or the other, or
both, have been greatly modified and
changed by soil and climate"
