The Work of the Defense.
F~or, $ta ezY1r

Mr. Beecher's sons are working very
hard in his behalf, and every day are
with some of the younger counsel seek
ing out testimony and perfeetng plans
outside of the court room. Henry
Beecher, Jr., Is smart young insurance
agent In Court street, Brpoklya, and
during his trial he inrusts his business
to his brother Herbert, and joins with
his brother William in helping the law
yers. Mr.. J. L. Hill, Gen. Tracy, and
Mr.. P. Ready are busy all of every day,
outside of the court, with different
branches of the case, and it is asserted
by one who is In Mr.. Beecher's employ
that six lawyers whose names have not
been made public are at work for him
making thirteen IN all. Gen. Tracy is
committing his opening speech to mem
ory, and is waiting patiently to be called
into the courtroom to deliver It. The
defense have long list OF witnesses, and
the working lawyers outside of the court
noom are learning specifically what each
can testify to. They pass the result oi
their work into MIR. Shearman's hands,
who has his clerks trained to arrange the
matters to nicely, and the result vii
be that the facts for the defense viii be
woven strongly together, and made te
. tel1 to good advantage.

yesus and Marriage.
ICor Chicago Cinesl.

Tilton's letter specializing about
whether the Redeemer ought to have
married, created profound sensation,
though it had been already published,
and probably had been read by every
one in the court except the jurors. AS
20 the jury, they appeared bew1dered,
and some of them fixed their eyes on the
witness for some minutes for some
minutes The letter was dated Oshkosh,
Wis, Feb. IA, 1867, and commences,
&c My dear orthodox wife" He wonders
if she will be shocked at one OF his
meditations on the career of Jesus,
namely: How He would appear in the
character of married man IF invesh-
cation proved that He was married, it
would add new glory to his character.
The probability is he never was, and
even Renan aftrms it. Yet it is by no
means certain. He admits that if Jesus
were married, the world would never re-
eeive Him as the only begotten Son Of
God But then, he asks, would Mrs.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH of
the United States split into two sectional
bodies, north and south, long before the
rebellion, the Southern Church having
formed separate organization in 1915.
As slavery was the sole cause of this split,
the abolition of that evil was thought to
have ended all cause for separation, and
accordingly efforts have been in progress
for several years past to smooth over all
past asperities and reunite the fragments.
At first the Southern Church rejected the
approaches, but at meeting of the Col
lege of Bishops of the Southern Church,
held recently at Nashville, fraterniza-
ton committee was appointed to attend
the next General Conference of the North
ern Church, and the General Conference
of the Southern Church appointed COM
missioners to meet similar representa-
ton from the Northern Church to remove
all obstacles to harmony and to prepare
the way for reunion. This was the great
est sectional division among the Ameri-
can religious bodies produced by the
slavery contest, and it made a profound
and lasting impression when it occurred,
the Methodist Church being the largest of
all our Protestant sccts. The reunion Of
such body will be one of the most i'm
portant steps toward national Cancellation
yet taken, and it is to be hoped that in
due time 1t will be followed by the re-
union of the divided Presbyterian and
other churches. 1t is high time that all
these remnants of the long and bitter slave
~ contest were oblitcrated.-PhiIadel.

>. CLARK,
Chairman

One of the guerrilla sheets which are
still occasionally met with in this State,
thinks the outlawry in Story county is ow'
ing wholly to the forty thousand Republi'
can majority in Iowa. Bless you, yes, and
the grasshoppers in Missouri and Kansas,
and the dry weather, the floods, the horn
ale, and the high price of butter are all
owing to the same reason. Its a wonder
the State isn't full of earthquakes and
volcanoes, and we believe if that Repub-
l:can majority isn't cut down some way,
that we will overrun with volcanoes next
year-Burlington Ha,okeye.

THE TICKET.

We to-day place at the head of our col
umns the Republican County Ticket-the
one which will be elected in lama County
this fall The Convention last Saturday
was composed of many of the best men OF
our County, and was singularly free from
all the loS rolling, swapping, wire-work-
ing, and political chicancy which we are
accustomed to see at such gatherings. 1t
would, of course, be useless and simply
foolish to deny that there were some dis
appointed parties. 1t would be impossi-
bic to be otherwise, yet there was no i'll
feeling. The delegates all came up to the
convention entirely free and with the in
tcntion of voting for the best and strong
est men. The ticket nominated is strong
one, and one which will poll heavy vote.
Mr.. G.. Jaqua the nominee for Re
preventative is prosperous farmer OF
Buckingham township. He has been a
member of the Board of Supervisors a
number of years and is its present chair
man.
Mr.. ]. W. Willett, candidate for County
Auditor is member of the law firm of
Ebersole & Willett of Toledo. He is a
prompt and careful business man, and
will no doubt fill the office acceptably to
the people.
Everybody in the County is acquainted
with the candidate for Treasurer, Capt L.
b. Blinn; and do not believe word can
be said against him as popular and eff
cient otficer9 He held the position of
Clerk and is now Deputy in the same Of
flee He is popular, jovial and we doubt
if a better man could have been selected.
f. NJ. Bielby, the candidate for Sheriff
was the popular deputy of Knight Dexter.
He was always careful and efficient Of
ficer He is well known throughout the
county and has many friends.
Rev. H. A. Brown, the candidate for
County Superintendent is a man of much
experience in School affairs, having. been
professor in an eastern college for many
years He has always taken a lively in
tcrest in matters pertaining to our public
schools and is well posted in that dircc-
ton. He was appointed by the Board
of Supervisors to fill out the uneXpired
term of Mr. A. H. Sterrett, and will no
doubt be his own successor.
The candidate for Supervisor, Mr.. I. F.
Clark is gentleman whom we have not
had the pleasure of meeting. He is res
ident Of Gencseo township and is highly
spoken of by his neighbors, who predict
that he will run away ahead of his ticket.
Mr. J. J. McAlister, of Tama township,
is the nominee for Coroner. We have
not met this gentleman, either, but under
stand that he is good man and will add
strength to the ticket.
Mr. W. II. Holstcad, the present Coun-
ty Surveyor is nominated to be his own
successor, and no stronger recommends
ton as to his ability is needed than the
fact that the opposition party have also
nominated him on their ticket, though he
is known to be good Republican.
Taking the ticket as whole, it is one
which will command the respect and suf-
frages of large majority of the intelli-
gent voters at the polls next October.

grand success, Notwithstanding the heavy

WHAT YOU WANT !

Is to spend your money to the
best possible advantage, to get
the most you can in exchange
for it; in other words, to buy
those things you want as cheaply
as possible. AT my store at the
South East corner of Court House
Square, in the room formerly oc-
cupied by Mr.. T. K. Armstrong
as a Drug Store, land more recent
ly by Chapman & Reynolds, as
Grocery Store, l am endeav-
oring, reader, with good will to
the best of my ability to supply
your wants in the line of Dry
Goods, Boots and Shoes, Glass
ware, Crockery and Groceries in
that manner.
l have a complete variety of
Groceries, in a good and fresh
condition the most of them
strictly first-class, and the best
that could be bought in the mar
ket: including a large assort-
ment of canned fruit. | have a
good line of Glassware in which
l can offer special bargains.
My assortment of Crockery is
full, and of good selected ware,
and not "seconds" 10 be palmed
off upon customers for what it is
not, as is too frequently done.
My Boots and Shoes are also
selected goods, bought under the
most favorable circumstances, and
will be sold at correspondingly
low figures.
In Dry Goods, l do not boast
of having "the largest stock in
the market" but l claim it is well
selected, and consists of good
variety Of such goods as the peo-
pie Of this country call for, and
need. The stock is all new and
of latest patterns, SO no one need
fear Of seeing old styles or shelf
worn goods to meet their gaze
when they undo their packages
at home.
All my goods were purchased
for cash, thus enabling me to pro-
cure some advantages which time
customers cannot obtain.
Reader mark this, HAVE
MARKED THEM Low, MARKED
THEM TO SELL.
That is what they werebought
for, and that is what / am bound
shall become of them, if but a
slight advance above first cost
viii aid any.
I think no dealer can beat me
in selling a cheap bill of goods, al
though for deception they may
sell a single article less. Every
sound and perfect article with me
must pay its way; hence l am
able to sell at low prices EVERY
article, whether the purchaser be
a Judge of its worth or not.
/ invite all those who want
good goods in the lines of Dry
Goods, Groceries, Boots and
Shoes, Crockery and Glassware,
to call and examine my stock,
and learn my prices.
Respectfully,
N, G. WIE1INo.

Bishop HaYen's Book.

OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. Recent Sketch
es of Mexico. BY the Rev. Gilbert Haven, D. d.
Bishop in the NJ. E. Church With Maps and
Illustrations Crown $40, Cloth. s. so. New
York: Harper & Bros. Chicago: Jansen, Nc
Clurg Il Co.
Some time ago Bishop Gilbert Haven
went to Mexico to establish Methodist
mission. He spent the winter there and
wrote series of very interesting articles
which were published in Harper's Naga-
cine, and attracted wide attention as one
of the most interesting series of sketches
of travel ever published in this country.
The Bishop is good writer and an ex
periencd one, having been editor of
Zion's Herald for a number ofyears. He
is also wide awake man, and as Phre-
nologist would say, one who has the organ
of obervation well developed. His des-
criptive powers are extremely fine. He
commences the book with few prepa-
tory remarks in which we find the fol-
lowing language: "The nearest things
are often the farthest off, the farthest off
the nearest. This is true of places as
well as peoples. We know more of Bis
marck. than Of our ncxt-block nelghbor, of
Paris than of many an American town.
This law is verified by our knowledge, or
ignorance rather, of our nearest national
neighbour Mexico. Few books are writ
ten, less are read, upon the most novel
land of our continent, and one Of the
most attractive on any continent.
Mexico is one of the most wonderful
countries to be found, and ruins are being
discovered which 60 away back into an
tiquity. Some of the darkest scenes of
persecution and outrage have been per-
retrated, SURPRISING, if possible the cruel
ties of the Inquisition-in fact, they were
inspired and carried out by the same
power and for the same reason.
The volume contains illustrations and
descriptions of some of the most noted
converts and cathedrals. His book is
well written and one that will interest
any reader into whose hands it may fall.
1t is not only interesting but valuable, in
that it describes a country and people
about whom the average reader knows
little or nothing. Had we space we would
like to give some extracts from this vol
ume for the interest of our readers, but
We would hardly know where to CON-
mence or where to leave Off Our adj
vice is to buy the book and read it. 1t
will be sent postpaid to any address up
on receipt of price by the publishers.

The Republic magazine for June, is a
valuable number As usual its leading
articles show thorough knowledge of
the subjects discussed. THE Civil Ser
wee Experiment" throws light on the de-
fects of the system which has recently
been abandoned. The article on Joshua
R. Giddings is fine tribute to grand
character. "Romish Designs in America"
will awaken wide spread thought on q
subject that is daily growing in magni-
tude. Elements of Wealth in the South, I"
Building Associations" and Society in
the South" are among the many good
things served up for June. Every Amer
lean citizen should possess copy of this
valuable magazine, published at Wash
