we were nearly to the summit. Here,
by making a spring, I gained foot
hold in little crevice and grasped
an angle of the rock overhead. l
found l could get up no further, and
could not step back, for I dared not
let 60 with my hand, and could not
reach foothold without; SO called
to Bradley for help. He found a
way by which he could get to
the top of the rock which was over
my head, but could not reach me-
He looked around for some stick or
limb of a tree, but found none. Then
he suggested that he had better help
me with the barometer case, but l
feared I could not hold on to it.
The moment was critical. / was
standing on my toes, and my mus
cles began to trcmble. 1t was sixty
or eighty feet to the foot Of the prec-
ipice. If lost my hold l should
fall to the bottom, and then perhaps
roll over the bench and still farther
down the cliff. At that moment it
occurred to Bradley to take off his
drawers, which he did, and swung
them down to me. Rugged close
to the rock, let 60 with my hand,
seized the dangling legs, and, with
his assistance, was enabled to gain
the top.-Major J. w. Powell, in

Iowa a, It Is.

The most prosperous and most
fortunate State in this Union to-day
is Iowa. While the industrial and
commercial interests are langulshing
elsewhere throughout the country, in
that State nearly every interest is at
tended by an unusual degree of pros
perlty, and the mass of people are in
cheerful and encouraging circumstan-
ces. The only exception, really, is
found in those counties in the north
western portion Of the State, in which
the grasshoppers desolated the farms
of the settlers.
1t is fact of which Iowa may well
be permitted to boast, that her pro-
ducers have this year raised more
wheat, corn and hogs than those of
any other State in the Union. 1t is
estimated by intelligent judges that
Iowa's pork sales in the Chicago mar
ket alone have tins season reached
Sl0,O0O,000. The lowest estimate of
her corn crop for 1874 is 100000
bushels, and the wheat crop $4,000
600 bushels. These are big figures,
but we have the best of assurances
that they will rather fall below than
rise above the actual facts.
All Of Iowa's railroads show in
creased earnings this year rs com
pared with last, and Il large appreci-
alton in the value Of farming lands
is apparent all over the State, espec-
tally along the lines of railroad.
Our Chicago merchants and bank
ers inform us that Iowa merchants
are remarkably prompt i'll the pay
ment Of their Indebtedness us it falls
due, and that as Il rule her farmers
and merchants are rapidly freeing
themselves from debt. This is the
result of prosperity, and is an unmis-
taxable indication.
We congratulate the people of
Iowa. They have glorious State
fertile, productive and inhabited by
an industrious, frugal and vlrtuous
population which is continually and
rapidly increasing. Asa grain-grow-
ing State she has no equal, when we
take into acct unit the extent Of her
area and acres under actual cultiva-
ton. Her farmers are generally in
telligent, and her business men care
full, energetic and honorable. Grad
ually, too, manufactures are being
established, giving the farmers a
home market and the communities
new resources of thrift. As the State
grows older and Weather, the man
utacturing interests will increase and
multiply, and it is only a question of
time when Iowa will be as pros porous
permanently as she has been during
the present year of her good fortune.

The Heaviest Man,

VIM. II. Kupp died at Pittstown,
Pa, on the first of December. He
was of mammoth proportions, and
was probably the heaviest man in the
United States, his weight being Civ.
en- at sos pounds. In speaking OF
him the Pittstown Pa.) Ledge,
says:
Our readers can form faint idea
of the immense proportions of this
young man, when we inform them
that his height was feet inches,
breadth across the shoulders 3 feet
and 8 inches. The circumference of
his leg Immediately above the ankle
joints, twenty-four inches, and thigh
five feet. From the cooling board,
upon which he lay, to the highest
part of his person, was % inches.-
His coffin, we are told, will hold six
ordinary sized persons, and that it
would be impossible to take it through
any door or window in the house.
The deceased was mt the time of his
death, 25 years, 3 months, and is
days old. He had enjoyed remarka-
bly, good health until within a short
time of his death. He had recently
increased so rapidly in flesh that he
was at last unable to take but little
if any exercise, and breathed with
great difficulty, and finally smother
ed to death.

The Chicago Times says: Some
scientific gentlemen of the city, who
have desire to test the comparative
merits of the allopathic and home
opathic schools of medicine, are just
now considering a project by which,
if it can ever be put in operation, the
test can be most thoroughly and sat
isfactorily made. The plan is to rent
large, airy building in some healthy
part of the city, and convert it into
a hospital, i'll which one half.the pa
tients are to be treated by the best
physicians Of one school, and the
other half by doctors of equally
high standing in the other. In this
way, they hope, by comparing the
records at the end of two or three
years, to arrive at some definite con-
clusion. Then if they should ever
happen to be sick, they will know
just exactly what to do.

A Critical Moment.

Opposite our camp the wall was
high and vertical. The river running
south for a mile and half, turns
back upon itself, and the two stretch
es Of river, the first south, the second
north, are separated by wall in ma
ny places but ten to twenty feet wide
and eight hundred feet high, and, in
the east, everywhere vertical or over
hanging. l wished to climb this
wall for the purpose of measuring its
altitude, SO one day Bradley and l
took the little boat and pulled up
stream as far as possible, in order to
reach a place where the wall was so
broken that it seemed practicable to
climb it. We landed on little talus
of rocks at the foot of the wall, but
found we must 90 still farther up the
river; so we scrambled on until we
reached a place where the river
sweeps against the wall Here we
found shelf along which we could
pass, and then We're ready for the
climb. We started up gulch, then
passed to the left. on Il bench along
the wall; then up again, over broken
rocks; then we reached more benches,
along which we worked until we
found more broken rock and crcyiccs,
by which we climbed still up, until
we had assembled six or eight hundred
feet. Here we were met by sheer
precipice.
Looking about, we found a place
where it seemed possible to climb
| went ahead, Bradley handed the
barometer to me, and followed; so
we proceeded, stage by stage, until

The Spanish Republic is no more,

THE Spanish Republic is no more,
and a Bourbon monarchy is once
more established in that distracted
and pricst-ridden country, in the per-
son of Alfonzo, Prince Of the Astu-
rias, son of the dissolutc Ex-Queen
Isabella, driven from the throne six
years ago, when her tyrrany and de-
bauchcries had become no longer en-
durable. The new King is about IS
years of age. He comes to the throne
with the support Of the Republican
army and ministry, his accession be-
ing made possible by the distracted
state of affairs in Spain and the hope
less inertia into which the people
have fallen. Still under the influ-
ence Of the bigoted and ambitious
Ex-Queen, there is no probability
that his reign will be an improve
ment upon those that have preceded
it, under whose grinding despotism,
the Spanish people have been held in
a condition of Ignorance and vassal-
age the most degraded in Europe.

POSTMASTER GENERAL JEWELL is
doing thorough work in his depart
ment. He has taken hold of the
straw bid abuse IN earnest. Upon
investigation he ascertained that Ben
Halliday and another firm of mail
contractors have been able, through
this means, to control and secure
large contracts at high rates on the
the Pacific coast, and he has prompt
ly informed those parties, that, while
their bids for next years service are
the lowest, they are still too high,
and that he will not pay the price.
He furthermore intimates that he
does not intend that his department
shall be hampered by what he knows
is ring of public plunderers. Think
ing that they could intimidate Mr..
Jewell, Halliday & Co., coolly in
formed him that if their bids were
not accepted they would discontinue
the service. Not the least discon-
certed, the Postmaster General told
them that in that case he would re-
advertise the routes, and see that
honest contractors had chance.
Senator Mitchell attempted to in
fuencc Mr.. Jewell, in behalf of the
ring, by the consideration that the
people of Oregon would suffer for
mail facilities in case the routes were
re-advertised, to which Mr.. Jewell
responded, that he would break up
that ring if he had to let the mails
for Oregon rot for 4 month. He
further told Mr.. Mitchell that 5000
per day was too much for $50 miles
of stage coach service, and that it
must be done for less. 1t is intimated
that the lordly contractors will sue
cumb and carry the mails at greatly
reduced figures. This looks as though
the chance for. plunder in the postal
department is not promising.

SINCE the fact has been developed
that J. G. Shumaker, Democratic
member of Congress from Brooklyn,
received $275,O0O from the Pacific
Mail corruption fund, presumably for
distribution among the Democratic
Congressman, while King, the Re

was only interesting to them when it

The Business Outlook for 1875,
From the n. Y. Evening NALL


McKillop & Sprasue's CONNER
cial Agency, in reviewing the past
year and forecasting the future, feels
warranted in anticipating a general
improvement for business in 1875.
No doubt some Of our readers may
suggest that such a prophecy requires
small inspiration, since things mer-
camille have been SO dropping for a
year that improvement can not well
be deferred much longer. But, if we
compare the December of 1874 with
the same month of 1873, we shall
have little difficulty in believing that
the tide has turned, and the march of
upward progress once more set in.
In point of fact, there have been no
more mercantile failures this year
than were gazettcd the year before,
and if 1873 were credited for
charged) with the bankruptcies and
financial distresses really belonging
to it, the present year would have the
better record of the two as regards
failures among business men.
Moreover, reasonable ground tor
hopeful prediction is furnished by
the fact that, during the past twelve
month, our people, including the ira
ding and mercantile class, have been
schooled in economy. Indebtedness
has been largely diminished, values
have been reduced, and probably
$4OO,OOO,OOO will fairly represent the
sum that has been economical dur
ing 1874. Then the crops have been
good, the rural districts are in sound
condition, and both in town and
country much of the decentralization
foistcd upon us by the late war has
been sloughed Oft. Business men
are less speculative, in their habits
and ventures, and, like children who
have been burned, they have now
wholesome dread of the fire Hence
we may calculate upon somewhat
general return of the good old meth
DDS of doing business and conse-
quent re-establishmcnt Of old-fashion-
sd confidence between all classes of
the community.
1t would seem, therefore, that,
among the greetings and compli-
ments of the season, we may include
with our Happy New Year" wish
ngs well-founded hope of agreatly
business outlook for 1875. !

ranks for them. Let all Republicans

Gov. KELLOGG, of Louisiana, has
addressed note to the Congressional
Committee of Investigation, now at
New Orleans examining into the
source of the political troubles in
that State, suggesting that, as the
question Of his election in 1872 has
been the principal disputed point
which has agitated the State for two
years, it should be a subject for in
vestigation. He courts a thorough
examination of the facts concerning
said election, and agrees to abide by
the decision of the Committee. He
asks also that the opposition be al
lowed to make good before the Com
mittee some, at least, of the many
charges of maladministration and
corruption that they have made
against him, and for this purpose
tenders every possible facility to be
offered by free access to the records
of the State government. These re-
quests are made by Gov. Kellogg in
view of the intlmation that the Com
mittec purpose to confinc their in
quiry to the election of this year.
They are reasonable and should be
acceded to. Gov. Kellogg is either
very bad or an outrageously malign-
ed man, and no better opportunity
than the present can be found to
establish which character properly
belongs to him. The investigation
even, in its present scope, promises
to 60 far to establish what Gov.
Kellogg has repeatedly declared, that
his administration has not been wan
ton or extravagant, but that it has
reduced the burdens of debt and tax
alton resting upon the people of that
unhappy State.
