Shall We Meet Again.

The following is said to be one of the most brilliant articles writ ten by the lamented George D. Prentice:
 "The fiat of nature is lnexora- ble. There is no appeal from the great law which dooms us 10 dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flowers that bloom and wither Tn day have no Trailer hold upon life than than the mightiest monarch who ever shook the earth with his foot steps. Generations of men will appear as the grass, and the null titude that throng the world to- day, will disappear as the foot steps on the shore. Men seldom think of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their own pathway, hiding from their eyes the faces of loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence. Death is the an tagonist of life, and the thought of the tomb is tae skeleton of all feasts. We do not want to go through the Dark Valley, altho' its dark passage may lead to Paradise; we do not want to lie down in the damp grave, even with Princes as bed-fellows. In the beautiful drama of Ion, the hope of Immortality, so eloquent ly uttered by the death devoted Breek, finds deep response in cv- cry thoughtful soul. When about to yield wound existence as a sacrifice to fate, his Clemanthe asks if they should meet again. :- I have asked that dreadful ques- tion of the Hills that look eternal of the clear streams that flow foreyer-of the stars among whose fields of azure my raised spirits have walked in glory. All were dumb, but as I gazed upon the living face, 1 feel that there is something In the love that man. ties through its beauty that can not wholly perish. We shall meet again Clemanthe. "

Judgment affirmed.

Judgment affirmed. Crane x Field ys. Randolph, Ad- ministrator. Appeal from De
 sha county.
 This was bill by Randolph as administrator, to remove cloud of title from lands of the estate held by Crane & Field under tax deeds. They were in possession. Decree for complainant below, and appeal. Opinion by Judge Harrison.
 ABSTRACT.
 A tax deed may be avoided by proof that the taxes had been paid and the lands improperly re- turned delinquent.
 A tax sale of several tracts to. gether for taxes on the whole is void.
 An administrator may maintain ejectmcnt for lands of the estate.
 A deed void upon its face does not cloud title.
 A bill to remove a cloud does not lie where the defendants are in possession and complainant might assert his legal title by ejectment.
 Decree reversed for want of equity, and complaint dismissed.

 ren and Seelye representatives to Congress. None of t.iese meu were of the bourbon persuasion. All who were dcmonrats were of the liberal progressive democracy. But they elected Cockrell in Missouri instead Schurz;" so did the republicans of Massachu- shtts elect Daws instead of Hoar; but they were obliged te take such men or be defeated" True, and that necessity still continues. If the democratic convention should nominate a bourbon, hls defeat is certain. So if the re- republicans nominate ''ring can ditlate" his defeat is equally cer- tain.
 My cope is in the great Ameri- can people. The president of the future must represent honesty. economy and reform. Of the hosts of claimants to the repub- lic., iu tion one name alone meets these requirements, and that name of itself might be suf- ficent guarantee were it not that he would go into power hampercd by the corrupt men who control the present administration and the party. know who hopeless ly the democratic party, as well as the republican. is divided up on questions of revenue and fi- nance; but I have never doubted and do not now doubt that when the St. Louis convention assem- bles the only important question that will confront them will be this: Who best representing the demands ofthe country for change and reform will command the lar5est vote2 Who, especially, will most surely carry the pivotal state of New York? To these questions there can be but one answer, and 1 rest in the faith that over the heads of sectional bigots and selfish politicians, with whom above all things "suc- cess is duty" und the sober sec ond thought of the democratic national convention will recog- nize the exigency of the hour, and will place upon its banner the name of the one man who to- day most fully incarnates the as- pirations of the country.
 In the dark and troubled night that is upon us l see but one star of hope the united democratic party of the United States. Con fidence, l am aware, is Q plant of slow growth. Dtstrust of the democratic party is, l doubt not, honestly entertained by the best portion of the republican party, and di- honestly proclaimed as their most effective partisan cry by the worst. 1 do not partake of the views of the one class; l utterly despise the hypocrisy of the other. 1 have prevailing confidence that sixteen years of purgation and punishment have had their effect in purifying the democratic party in, perhaps, as great degree as sixteen years of power have corrupted and debas- ed the republican party. l want to vote for a candidate who has not only shown the courage to fight the thieves of his own party, but who will not be elected and surrounded by the same gang of thieves and their apologists. Yours very truly, F. w. BIRD.

IT was last Friday morning that the
fast train from New York passed
through Stanwood. This train was
an advertising dodge of jarrett &
Palmer, theatrical managers, but it
accomplished more speedy transit
than was ever before known in the
world. Leaving New York Thurs
day morning it arrived in San Fran
cisco Sunday nominating in three
and one-half days what usually occu-
pies seven. From ocean to ocean in
SIS hours. The average speed was
43 miles per hour; and the maximum,
30 miles. The train was made up of
locomotive and tender, baggage car,
day coach and pullman. We have a
Herald printed in New York Thurs
day morning and thrown off this train
at Stanwood, eleven hundred miles
west, about twenty-iour hours later.

GATHERING OF THE CLANS on THE
BRIDGE Extraordinarily ap-
pears to have been field day for
those interested in the question of a
bridge over Cedar river. Messrs.
Elwood Macy, d. Morrison, J. Hep
penstall, Jr., II. G. Gill, Thos. James,
Z. A. Gray, and perhaps other citi-
zens of Springdale and Iowa town
ships, appeared before the Board Of
Supervisors on behalf of a bridge at
Grey's Ford, while an equally strong
lobby of equally respectable gentle
men from Cass and Pioneer were
present to see that the interests of
Covers Ferry as the proper location
suffered no unfair treatment.
The G-ey's Ford party brought
with them petitions signed to the ex-
tent of 1884 names 500 from the
west side of the river, l0l from Clar-
ence and the balance from Upton
and south, as far down as Pennington
township-and reported other petit
tions still in circulation. The dele
CATION followed this up with speeches,
in which the advantages of Grey's
Ford in the way Of greatest good to the
greatest number, length and condi-
tion of connecting roads, ETC., were
eloquently and fully set forth.
Messrs. Suel Cover, VIM. Walters,
Ed Seitsinger, l., F. Blatler, Morgan
Countz, F. X. Wallick, and others
who represented Covers Ferry, did
not neglect to set forth to the Super.
visors the natural approaches, short
span and old established roads of
which their locality can boast. The
petitions for action favorable to this
point were submitted some time ago,
and contained some seven or eight
hundred names.
AT the conclusion Of remarks, Mr..
Helmer, Chairman Of the Board, an
nounced that decisive action would
be postponed until Thursday as full
Board could not sooner be obtained.
We observed that the Grey's Ford
adherents hardly asked so much in
their speeches as in their petition.
The latter asks an appropriation,
while in the former it was intimated
that they would be satisfied by a
submission Of tho question to the
voters Of the county. Why wouldn't
that be the best and most satisfactory
arbitrament? Only we should badly
dislike to see any plan adopted by
which both projects could be killed

CENTENNIAL.
Meeting nt the Court House
saturday EScning--Turn
Out Everybody.

At the meeting Of the City Coun'
Gil held at the Mayors Office on Mon
day evening last, the following reso'
luton, offered by alderman Piatt, wa.
unanimously adopted:
Hesosced, That a celebration b.
held in Upton July 4th, 1876, and
that meeting of the citizens of Tip
ton and vicinity be held at the Court
House next Saturday, June 10th, .,
seven o'clock, p. NJ, for the purpose
of making the necessary arrangements
for grand Centennial Celebration.
That this resolution be published
in Upton papers.
So then, we aiG't quite SO dead as
we thought we were. The ApvEE-
User commenced two months ago to
talk celebration, and ever since until
now has listened unavailingly to hear
something drop. All that was need
ed, apparently, was a start; and now
that the ice is broken let everybody
take hold and insure hundredth year
celebration in old Cedar that shall be
worthy of both time and place.
And in this connection it might
not be amiss to note the following,
passed by the Senate and House OF
Representatives last March, and pro-
claimed by the President of the Unit
ed States over date of May 25th:
he IL resolved, etc, That it be, and
is hereby, recommended by the Sen
ate and House Of Representatives to
the people Of the several States that
they assemble in their several coun-
ties or towns on the approaching
Centennial anniversary Of our Nation
al Independence, and that they cause
to have delivered on such day an his.
torical sketch Of said county or town
from its formation, and that copy
of said sketch may be filed in print
or manuscript in the clerks Office of
the SAID county, and an additional
copy in print or manuscript be fled
in the Office Of the Librarian Of Con.
gress, to the intent that a complete
record may thus be obtained of the
progress Of our institutions during
the first Centennial CT their existence.
The Governor Of Iowa has fortified
this suggestion by proclamation in
which hc urges the people of this
State, in every county, town or town.
ship where meetings are held on the
Fourth, TO comply Herewith; and as
the project is one which at once com.
mends itself to al, We hope it will
not be overlooked in the arrange
ments for Cedar County Celebra-
tion. It is not everyone who has or
could obtain data sufficient for the
proposed work; nor is it triiling
task to be lightly undertaken. Per.
haps no one would willingly under
take it; but if Cedar county could
have the good fortune to secure in
this behalf the services Of Hon. VIM.
II. Tuthill, she would not only have
retained one we'll fitted by ability
and information, but also one who
has long had such work in contem-
plation and who has already, if we
mistake not, more than broken ground
therefor.

yesterday afternoon, hundreds were
again turned from the door of Cooper,
Bailey & Co.'S Great International
exhibition, which seems to have
taken possession Of the hearts and
appreciation of our good people.
Yesterday afternoon the immense
pavilions were filled to their utmost
capacity, as has been the case since
their opening. Never in the annals Of
amusement. in this city has any
exhibition no matter of how large
pretenaion or extensive reputation,
gained such signal and satisfactory
success. There can be no matter of
doubt at all but the people are fully
satisfied of the excellent merit Of the
geologic display and the arenic per-
formers, and, after all is SAID, they
are the best critics, and the only ones,
too that managers care to please. To
