The Insane Asylum.

Dr. S. b. Chase, of Usage, who, be-
sides being one of the most skillful
physicians in Iowa, is also an obsery-
err of rare insight and intelligence,
during recent visit to our city, took
occasion to inspect the Insane Hos
pital, and especially its management
by DIR. Reynolds and his force of as
sistants. In communication to the
local paper, at his home, he thus
records his impressions. The testi-
mony is specially valuable, coming
from the source it does:
INDEPENDENCE, Iowa.
Ed. NEws:-Permitm me few words
in relation to this model Asylum, as
verified by personal examination.
Few realize the excellence of this
institution. Its worthy Steward, Mr..
Josselyn, and his cstimablc wife, the
Matron, are unrivalled in its manage
ment. For neatness and order it is
commendable pattern for any home;
and when the State shall have per-
fected her designs, the comfort of
these unfortunates will here be as
complete as humanity can devise.
The ability and fidelity of DR.. Rey-
nolds, the efficient Superintendent,
aided by his capable assistant, DR..
Hill, render its medical department
and general supervision all that dis
tinguished skill can accomplish; and
merits and should receive far greater
remuneration.
On Sunday, the 10th inst, at 3 p.
NJ, it was our fortune to listen to an
excellent sermon from Mr.. Marsh, in
the Chapel (whom our people will
recollect as one of tie noblest among
the G. V. S. Alumni,) to about so of
the $50 who now crowd this incom-
plcte Hospital. The attention was
devout, and the worship sincere; a
rebuke to many outside such institu-
tons. About go usually attend re-
ligious services, which are held every
week by the different clergymen of
Independence. The dances usually
bring out about IS, and are marked
by courtesy which ought to put to
the blush some at such entertain
ments, who claim sanity and refine
ment.
To those having friends here, let
me say, everything possible is done
to restore health and increase happi-
ness. The great want now is more
room. | trust our Legislative fathers
will recognize this great necessity,
and bestow with liberal hand the
requisite funds. Wisdom and intcg-
rity have characterized every move
SO far, and in the hands of its present
managers guarantee its future.
S. B. CHASE.

THE Waterloo Reporter of this

The Waterloo Reporter of this
week contains the following express
sion of honest opinion:
We heard the other day that Sena-
tor Cooley, of Dubuque, was going
to be candidate for the United
States Senate next winter. 1t hardly
seems probable that Dubuque, alrea-
dy having one Of the Senators, would
make any very earnest efforts to Sc
cure the other, unless with the lnten-
ton OF forcing Allison into retire
ment. AS far as our own preferences
are concerned, with all the damaging
charges against Bro. Harlan, we
would prefer even him to Bro. Cool
ey. A United States Senator should
be an honest man.
Now, here is rank heresy. What
is the matter of the Dubuque Herald
that 1t does not squat down on its
launches and howl over this mon
strous lack of faith in the master
whose purchased thrall it is? Is it
possible that its contract to defend
Cooley extends in this direction only
to the Wapsie?

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, Of Clinton,
whom many of our readers will re-
member in connection with her very
eloquent address upon temperance,
in our city last winter, was, on We'd.
nesday, admitted by the Supreme
Court of Iowa, now in session at Du-
buque, to practice before that tribunal
as an attorney, the first lady ever ac-
corded that privilege in the history
of the Court. OF her appearance
and the manner in which she acquit-
ted herself in the conduct of her first
case before the Supreme Court, the
Times, says:
"The event was one of considera-
BILE interest in the Courtroom, which
was well filed by a large number of
the b. st lawyers of the State, having
causes on trial before the Court
Immediately after being admitted, the
lady made her maiden argument be-
fore the Court, in the case entitled
Orwald VS. Hayes, she being attorney
tor the defendant, the plaintiff being
represented by VIM. Graham, Esq,
of this city. The lady was some
what embarrassed, and surely it was
natural enough, but she acquitted
herself with marked credit. She is
is a very pleasant looking lady, and
will no doubt answer the problem of
woman's fitness for the profession in
the affirmative, by making distin-
guished success of her professional
career. Her husband accompanied
her, and evidently felt very proud of
her effort; but it WAS just such old
fogies as we are, who couldn't help
thinking how funny it must be for a
man to sit back in his chair to admire
his wife's efforts in such a place,
when husbands have SO long been IN
the habit of receiving admiring
chances of encouragement from their
wives, while they were making
speeches before the bar or the public.

The Philadelphia Press thus grace
fully yields the flag of Republican
supremacy to Iowa:
''lowa Republicans carry the ban
ner of the party. Theirs is the larg-
est majority till Pennsylvania puts
their 5000 in the shade. The same
issues were made there rs here and
in Ohio, the same unprincpled readi-
ness displayed by the Democracy to
sacrifice every record, tradition, and
declaration for the sake of gaining
the baser sort, and the same verdict
will be passed in this State that has
just recovered Ohio from Boul bonism
and Pendletonian progress, and added
a new lustre to the unsullied banner
of the Republican phalanx of Iowa.

S:anley's Explorations.

A letter from Henry Stanley, ex-
plorcr, dated in Victoria Nyanza,
Africa, March LIST, 1875, is published
giving highly interesting account
Of his 1os days journey across
the wilds of the interior of Africa.
During the journey from Bogamya
to Kagshyi many Of the party died
from fatigue, famine and disentcry.
Behind the river Wine in the country
Of Suna a people was discovered re-
markable for their manly beauty.
They went wholly naked.-They had
no chiefs but were governed by
elders. Edward Peacock, a young
English explorer, died at Chiwyn.
Five of the party died on the fourth
days march. Several fights with
wild tribes occurred, in which both
sides suffered. The natives of Wa
turu fought three days. battle
against the explorers. Stanley lost
q men and the natives 35. Alto
gether, with wars, famine and disease
l25 men OF the expedition persisted.
All were natives of Africa except Pea.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE FOR
1876.

Among the leading Republican
journals of the United States, none
takes higher rank than The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE. The coming year will be
one of deep and absorbing political
interest. For the first time since the
days of Buchanan's Presidency the
Democratic party have secured con-
troll of the House of Representa-
hves, and will virtually be response
bic for the Legislation of Congress.
A great Presidential campaign Will
commence next spring, and the poll-
teal issues will be shaped by the en-
suing season Of Congress. Every in
telligent citizen will find such Jour-
nal as THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE indis-
pensable for the political news and
facts 1t will contain.
THE TRIBUNE is a sound Republi-
can paper, giving full and reliable in
formation as to all public movements,
measures and events, and discussing
earnestly and fairly all questions
whether political, financial, industrial,
agricultural, social, literary or scien-
tific, which come before the people.
The political department, is but
one of the many excellent features of
what the publishers propose to make
the best and most useful family and
home paper in the United States.
To this end, the News department,
second to that of no other paper, will
be supplemented by extended per: on
al and statistical comment and biog-
raphical and historical sketches.
Thus will be presented the fact or
occurrence with full explanation and
information to enable the reader to
understand its Importance and bear
ing.
The Literary department, always
of the highest character, will include
the best stories, foreign correspon-
dcnce, interesting personal and
general sketches, reviews of books,
art, criticism, news and gossip.
Articles on Health, Fashion and
Home Construction and Adjournment
will be prominent features, and Il
special effort will be made in behalf
of the young people to entertain and
instruct them.
The Agricultural department will
be eminently practical, the matter
always scasonable and suited to di-
rect application to the every day
home life of the farmer. In this con-
nection household and economical
topics will receive due attention.
THE TRIBUNE Market Reports, en-
brace all the information concerning
the price both of what the farmer has
to sell and what he must buy, have
always been the subject of most IA
vorable comment, and the Financial
department takes rs high rank.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE, large
eight page sheet, clearly printed, is
mailed to single subscribers at the
low rate of $3.50 per year, postage
paid or in clubs of five at the rate of
$1.3o, postage paid, in clubs of ten
at the rate of sl.25 postage paid, and
in clubs of twenty at the rate of One
Dollar per year, the subscriber to
remit the postage, which IS fifteen
cents. A free copy is sent to the
getter up of a club of twenty. THE
TRY-WEEKLY TRIBUNE is mailed to
subscribers at the rate of $3.50 per
year, postage paid, and THE DAILY
at $500 per year, postage paid.
Republicans are urged to form
clubs for THE WEEKLY. Specimen
copies and posters will be sent free
on application.

The educational institutions of the land
are daily falling into line for the years
season of school, and quite generally, with
an increase attendance of students
Higher education among the American
people is becoming more appreciated
with each succeeding year of their history;
as not only the increasing attendance up
on the 1913 colleges of the land attest, but
also the bcnefactions Witch are bestowed
upon them by wealthy individuals. In
two years of the last five, namely, 1872
and 1878, the total benefactions upon all
branches Of learning amounted to the
handsome sum of over twenty-one mil
lions of dollars-this outside the common
school interests of the country. 1t is
quite probable that the benefactions of the
last year and the present one will fully
equal the munificent gifts of the two years
previous. Our schools are surely the hope
of the nation, and it is gratifying to glance
at this hope occasionally, and see that it is
being so grandly cherished by philanthro-
phic hearts and hands.

Manners.
Canadian Messenger.


Manners are more important than
money. A boy who is polite and plea
SAINT in his manners will always have
friends, and will not often make enemies.
Good behavior is essential to prosperity
A boy feels well when he does well. If
you wish to make everybody pleasant
about you, and gain friends wherever you
go, cultivate good manners. Many boys
have pleasant manners for company and
ugly manners for home We visited Il
small railroad town, not long since, and
were met at the depot by little boy of
about eleven or twelve years, who con-
Quoted us to the home of his mother, and
entertained and cared for us, in the alb
sence of his father, with as much polite
attention and thoughtful care as the most
cultivated gentleman could have done.
We said to his mother before we left her
home, "You are greatly blessed in your
son, he is so attentive and obliging."
eyes" said she, 81 can always depend on
Charley when his father is absent. He
is great help and comfort to me-" She
said this us if it did her heart good to &c

worth so much that every boy can have

THE Globe, the Democratic organ

election predicted sweeping ma

at the result. Witness the droop of

1--WE are inclined to think the best
thing the Democrats in Iowa can do
is to abandon the hope Of ever chang
ing the administration, and give the
State over to the Methodists for a
camp-meeting ground. Providence,
it seems, foreordained it should be
so, and it is useless for a few faint
hearted democrats, scattered here

a fixed fact"

THE report of the Red Cloud in
vestigating committee has been at
last given to the public. As before
intimated, it completely vindicates
Ex-Secretary Delano from the charges
made against him by Prof. Marsh.
In only one count is the latter sus-
tanned, the incompetency of Agent
Saville, but the Commission exoner-
ate him from the charge of dishones-
ty, and say that he goes out Of Office
poorer than when he entered it. The
report reflects upon Prof. Marsh as a
meddling, easily-duped, fault-fnder,
who has been making charges on in
sufficient grounds.
