THE vealy exploits of John Monger, of
the Anamosa Journal, formerly of this
city, seems to be affording considerable
amusement to our brethren of the press
in that vicinity. The following from the
Maquoketa Sentinel records the result of
the latest amatory venture of the too sus-
ceptible youth:
''The junior editor of the Anamosa
Journal is sitting on the ragged edge of
despair. He escorted his lady love to the
depot the other day, on her way to visit
some friends at Dubuque. When next he
heard from her she WAS answering to the
name of Mrs. Mcintyre"
Our whilom devil" is not the only
luckless wight who has shaken the branch
for a more favored lover to gather the
fruit. But the mischievous Anamosa
lasses cannot dash John in this way
He is bound to found family and won't
be denied.
Mrs. STANToN's LEcTURE.-The lecture
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. at the Baptist
church, last Friday evening, was attended
by the largest audience of the course, the
church being filled to its utmost capacity.
1t is hardly necessary TO say that no lecture
ever delivered in our city was received
with more emphatic manifestations of sat
isfaction. Mrs. Stantons kind and moth
erly face, crowned with her wealth of
snow-white tresses, gave additional point
and interest to her talk about "Our Boys"
Surely, the mischievous, fun loving, care
less urchin has no more appreciative friend
and advocate than Mrs Stanton. Her
hints on the training and education of
boys appealed, for their wisdom and
justice, to the judgment of every parent
in the audience, while her kindly plea for
better appreciation of the boyish nature,
drew all hearts toward her. The lecture
was of considerable length, and towards
its close depressed into the field of woman's
work and influence Mrs. Stanton con-
cisely stated the principal grounds upon
which woman's demand for equal politi-
cal privileges is based, happily meeting
and refuting all the standard objections to
the same, and dissipating old prejudices
by her logical, earnest, eloquent handling
of the subject We have reason 10 know
that the lecture was not without its results,
and that the cause of woman suffrage
is stronger by quite a number OF con-
ycrtS.

Three brothers, bearing q remarka
BILE resemblance to each other, are in the
habit OF shaving at the same barber shop
in New York. Not long ago one Of the
brothers entered the shop early in the
morning, and was shaved by German,
who had been at work in the shop only
for day or two. About noon another
brother came in, and underwent similar
ope alton at the hands of the same bar.
Der. In the evening the third brother
made his appearance, when the German
dropped his razor, in astonishment, and
exclaimed:
"Vel, mine Gott dat man has the
fastest beard never saw Ishaves him
dis mornin', shavcs him at dinner time,
and he comes back now nit his beard so
long as it never vash'
