PostpOncmcnt of the County Fair.
Yesterday, 9th inst, tho officers of
the county Fair, after going through
with everything but the track work,
postponed this part of the Fair to the
first Wednesday in October, to hold
two days, viz: the 9th and 7th days of
October next. The weather was SO
nnfayorablo that the receipts were very
light. Tho fact was, the continued
rain just drowned out tho Fair. The
track was so bad that no trials OF
speed could be had, and it was found
that the postponement of this part Of
the Fair was an absolute necessity.
Therefore, the 9th and 7th of next
month will be devOted to the trials of
speed in horses, aud will be practically
horse fair. Fnll preparations will
be made for it. The programme will
be published in due time. The officers
of the society, including the directory,
will meet at o'clock +. NJ, on Satur-
day, the 18th of September, at the
Council Hall, in Ottumwa, to perfect
arrangements for the Horse Fair. A
full attendance is earnestly requested.

feathers of Spain, and the exquis-
ite embroideries Of the Kensingtcn Museum by
his careful study and skill, are made the com
mon property of all. We little understand in
this country tho high rank which Wall Papers
have obtained abroad as means of decoration.
In Europe, and especially in Germany and in
France, they have passed from the plane Of n
mechanical to that OF fine art AT the late
Vienna Exposition nj. Balm, Frenchman, ex-
hibited such splendid collection OF Wall Papers
that he received II gold medal aud was also
awarded the Cross of the Legion Of Honor.
Now there is no reason in the nature OF things
why Wall Papers in this country should not
equal the best productions of the old World.
Indeed, in our own city there Ia factory which
for years has quietly made speciality OF repro
ducing the designs of the best European artists.
1t is now no longer necessary to rely upon
the crude taste OF the fresco painter, nor
to purchase at extravagant prices the 80
called hangings of the French but in our
own midet can be found, at onehalf the
cost OF the originsls, exact copies OF the best
specimens OF the German and French. Moreover,
apart from the great difference in price between
the imported aud the American copies, the great
advantage of the latter to ctizens is this, that
they can select not only a pattern 'chich they adj
niire but can also choose The coiors in trhtci The
goods shall De made. In this way the colors of
the walls can be harmonized with the tones OF
carpets and the draperies Of our rooms, and all
agreeable effect be produced, which has been
impossible heretofore.-N y. Independent.

PUBLIC DUTY TO MRS. LINCOLN.

now aud again something happens which makes
us wish for a trifle more OF form and cere-
monial. Presidents and Presidents wives,
may be no more i'll our scheme of equality than
other people, but in effect they are much
more, however we may theorize. In other
words we should feel that we sustain our own
dignity in proportion "a We respect and guard
those whom we have intrusted with the high
est honors of the government. But the Ameri-
can President when he leaves othce surrende
his claim upon public recognition, and the peo-
pile for their part seem to feel that they have
no further responsibility. Republcanism does
uot show altogether at its best in this light
even admitting the Democratic principle to its
fullest extent. 1t is little less than a public
scandal that the widow of President who
stands only second to Washington in the popu-
lar affection should have been submitted to the
ordeal which recently shocked the country
Laws cannot prohibit suffering, but it is possi-
bic to shield and protect i'll such manner
as to greatly tighten the load of
misery. Was there no other way of providing fer
the widow OF the man who was murdered for his
devotion to American unity, and in the very
fruition Of his labors, than to send her to pub
lie asylum Did England treat George Ill in
that mauner2 Yet how much more do we owe
Lincoln than England did her. King Should we
not regard the wife and children Of our murdered
President as in some sort the wards OF the
country, endeared TO us for the sake OF husband
and father? Surely it would not have been
much for the indebted countrymen OF Lincoln
to do to have reyorently and lovingly
provided for this sorrow stricken woman in
manner less shocking to the sensibiities than
through the course pursued. Though she might
thus have had no more comforts, aud have been
no better taken care Of, than in public sylum,
1t would have been more thoughtful and fitting;
it would have shown heart and feeling. Mrs.
Lincoln lost her reason through the blow which
for the instant seemed to paraly2e every one OF
lis. But we have rallied We have all but for
gotten while the assassiu's stroke reached
beyond its noble victim and has
smltten with even more deadly effect his patient
mate. Undoubtedly We owe the. wife of Lincoln.
wrecked through the calamity which every loyal
American felt to be a personal sorrow more
consideration than we have shown. 1t is pitt
able story, but it is not yet too late to make such
amends as may I've possible.
