Juvenile Science.

BOYS AND GIRLS IN BIOLOGY; or. Simple
Studies of the lower forms OF Life, based upon
the latest Lectures OF Prof. Huxley. By Sarah
Hackett, Stevenson. / vol. IL mo. Illustrated.
Cloth, beveled edges. $50. New York: d..
Appleton & Co. Chicago: Jansen, McClurg
& Co.
This is another of the many numerous
volumes now being published for the pur-
pose CT simplifying science, and bringing
1t down to the understanding of "Boys
and Girls" The term Boys and Girls, we
presume, is intended TO be used in more
than one sense. New beginners in science
no matter what their age, will find it a
volume full of interest and instruction.
The author holds that, reasoning from the
inquiries that children are continually
making, there Is a need in the minds OF
children which this work is designed to
supply. And even if young people never
asked or thought about the familiar things
around them, so much more the necessity
is there for books that develop their splr-
it of inquiry. The author begins with
the lowest form of vegetable life and asks
and answers questions in such an interest
ing manner that any one who once conf
mences reading will be almost unconsci-
ously drawn on until they have finished
the entire work. There is nothing dry or
uninteresting about the volume, and al
though it is fascinatingly written, it loses
none of its scientific value. 1t is a hand
somely gotten up book, and belongs to
that class of books which we like to see
circulated. The publishers will send it
postpaid to any address upon receipt of
the price.

The Hon. Shepherd Letter, Democratic
candidate for Governor, spoke his speech
at the Court House last Thursday eve
ming.
He first combatted the idea that he
was too old to be Governor by stating
that he was only sixty-four years of age.
He next proved that he was not, and
never had been, a pro-slavery man, by
saying that he had never owned a slave,
and when in Congress had voted for the
Wilmot Proyiso. In the third place, he
proved that he had never, when a mem
Der of Congress, taken crooked" mileage
as his opponents allege, by informing US
that he travelled by the ordinary route,
and took just what was given him. The
proof with which the last two PROPOSE
tons were sustained, though not quite
satisfactory to the impartial nearer, were
doubtless regarded as overwhelming by
the rank and file of the party to which
the speaker belongs.
The old man, in %recounting, as old men
love to do, the history Of his public
services, stated that, in 1856, he ran for
Congress the third time on the Democratic
ticket, but was so badly beaten that he
meyer stopped to consider how badly he
was defeated. He therefore retired to
his farm, determined to go down with
his party, and to stay down until his par
ty should again come to the surface.
And now that the party has been resur-
rectcd in Iowa, he also is on the stage,
ready to resume the work which he drop
ped twenty years ago
But what a damaging confession for a
candidate for Governor of the State of
Iowa to make TO our intelligent and pa
triotic people. What during all those
years of blood and strife did this man,
who now asks for votes, do nothing to
preserve the integrity of the nation Is
it true that this man, who now seeks to
govern this loyal State, ~sullenly retired
from public life, and refused, by word or
deed, to help his struggling country, SIM
ply because the Democratic party was
out of power? Only think of it A man
who had served two terms in Congress,
and who claims to have sufficient knowl-
edge and experience in public matters to
fill worthily the Gubernatorial Chair of
1owa-think of such a man, coming now
to the surface, with the Democratic party
and shamelcssly confessing that during
all those years which tried mems souls,
he had not the soul to speak a word for
his country, and thereafter asking loyal
men to elect him Governor of this most
loyal State What does the old man
mean Has he been dreaming since
1855 Does he not know the loyalty of
Iowa, and that such a confession must
consign him to political damnation among
such a people WHY, Mr.. LETTER, are
you not yet awake? Do you not know
the country and the age: in which you
live? The audience you addressed last
Thursday evening were Iowans, and not
kentuckians; and it was the Year of
Grace, 1875, and not 1856. Come, old
man, rub your eyes open; consider the
circumstances which surround you.
You seem to be a fine old gentleman; we
respsct for your old age. and fear
ii you do not better fit your words to
the time a place, even our charitable
people may make your defeat so over
whelming as to bring your gray hairs in
sorrow to the grave.

READ THIS!!
Ex.Gov. Kirkwood is to deliver
one of his Mastery Political
Speeches at Toledo,
Wed. Sept. 29th, at 1870 P. M.

Immediately after this renowned states
man had been nominated by the Repub-
licans for the office of Governor, the re
quest came to the Tama Central Commit
tee from all parts of the County, that we
should secure him Tor at least one ad-
dress in the County. These appeals
came for the most part from the intelli-
gent and patriotic farmers, who remem
bered the noble part which Kirkwood, as
the cold War Governor" had played in
the days of the rebellion, and who desired
once more to listen to the man whom his
.tory has taught them to revere.
In response to these urgent requests
and appeals, the Committee at once open
ed a correspondence with the State Cen
trail Committee, who controlled Kirk
woods services for the campaign, but
got little encouragement. The matter,
however was urgently pressed, and at
last it was agreed that he should address
the people of Tama County, on the eue-
ming of Sept. 80. This was still unsatis-
factory, inasmuch as it would not accom-.
MEDIATE the people from tile country, who
were most DESTROYS to be present. Final
ly, after much negotiation, our request
was granted, and appointment was made
which is announced at the head of this
article.
And now, We Republican jewellers in
the County, even We who dwell in the re-
hottest parts of Tama, ali things have
been arranged with sole reference to your
pleasure, and in accordance with your re-
quest, and to you an particular do we
look to swell the crowd that shall give a
fitting welcome to our political chicftain;
and we trust that you will not fail to be
invited into our midst. We know il is a
5usytimc. There is no leisure to anyone
in this busy age. But for once let the
pio~ stand in the furrow, and the thresh-
ing machine cease to ~clatter, and let
everybody turn out to give a fitting re-
ception to one of the best mer that Iowa |
mas produced. A day of recreation now
and then, is good for any man; and by at
tending this speech you may not only
have pleasure but you may hear from one
who speaks with knowledge and authori.
ty, not only what issues are before the
people, but how the Republican party of
which you are a part, purpose to meet
these issues.
Come, then, In large delegations from
every township, that the Governors audi
ence in Tama County may truly indicate
the grand majority with which we intend
to elect him In October. Remember the
the day "WEDNESDAY, SEPT. goth, at half
oGst one O'Clock, AID let the leading Re
puhlicans in each township exert them
selves to bring out the people, that the
nGseting may result in the greatest amount
Of good. t

drouth oflast season is suggested as the
cause Of this sudden exodus from q local

that they: are eDigrating to . country which
suffered far greater plaques last year. in

and was followed by the plague OF the
grasshoppers, which finished up the work

of Tennessee did succeed in saving some
thing, though in certain localities they
we're greatly damaged. While it can
hardly be denied that 10 some of the
farming, districts mach suffering has en-
sued, yet no one has as yet, as we have
been informed, died from starvation.
Il IF they can better their condition in
Kansas. and we believe they cannot, we do
Dot know that much objection should be
urged. Those who enigrate to Mississippi
will get int, a somewhat warmer climate,
but they ought to remember that Missis-
sipIi. for the most part. has to import its
grain and mo>ender, and that they will
have to toll until next fall before they will
tbe able to realize the profit Of their labor.
About 500 blacks. coming from Giles,

Feasibility of not getting all the wheat
