to the laws of craniology. We think it but
fair to publish the following statement
from the New York Times, as it throws
much light on the point in dispute:
Anna Z. Dickinson made her theatrical
debut st the Globe Theatre, Boston, Mon
day night, in q play constructed by her
self. and entitled s. A Crown of Th0rns; or,
Anne Boylyn." Miss Dickinson's reputa-
tion as a lecturer is not at all likely to be
eciipsed BY any fame that she may acquire
as a playwright or an actress. The play
was pronounced dull. and her persOnation
of Anne showed that neither in person,
voice, nor manner is Miss Dickinson fitted,
even in a remote degree, for the stage,
while she seemed wholly deficient in the
power to conceive dramatic r0se and pre-
sent it with any degree Of symmetry and
completeness.

Eds; Tsl:;-The Cincinnati Convention
has passed. The spirited contest for the
success Of fayorite candidates is. over,
The heated personal feeling, that is the
outgrowth of our system for bringing for
ward candidates, has been cooled, by that
sober reflection that is prone characters
tic Of the American people. That the re-
suit was disappointment to very many,
cannot be denied. The. vote in the Con-
vention for James G. Blaine, and his in
ereasing strength from the first to the last
ballot, is evidence Of that national popu-
larity and personal magnetism very seldom
found in the working Of Convention.
The first choice Of the Republicans Of
Iowa was for Blaine; and our delegation,
composed Of some Of the best men in the
State, worked in the convention with much
zeal for Blaine, as yours did for Hayes.
While Blaine was our first choice, Hayes
was our second. The wisdom Of the Con-
vention decided, that Blaine was not the
man to lead the Republican hosts to victo-
~ this Centennial year; and in that de-
cision the Republicans Of Iowa viii cheer
fully acduiesce. We have no blue-blooded,
high-toned, fluffy orators, that, with cold,
measured sentences, that might wen be
come the prophetic Indication Of boiling
dissatisfaction, to announce to our sister
States that the candidates might carry our
state, but that none but our favorite was
certain. No, Iowa, proud Of her war rec
ord, proud Of her Republican principles,
that are not measured BY the success Of
her favorite, but are the out-grOwth Of the
immutable principle that gives to every
American citizen " "eompletep liberty and
exact equality in the exercise Of sil civil,
political and public fights," viii make the
nominee her first choice, and viii give foE
Rutherford B. Hayes not less than sixty
thousand majority. -
A strong under-current is moving, guid'
ed and directed by the intelligence Of the
masses, that indicates, as sure as the stern
finger Of fate, the overwhelming majority
that will be given by our State for Hayes
and Wheeler. Many Of the Republican.
that went with dear old Horace Greeley in,
to the ante-chamber of Democracy, under
the alluring cry of Liberal Reform,
having fully realized the story Of tht
spider and the fly, have returned to theil
old party, completely disguised with theil
adventure, and viii do effective, telling
work this fan. The best talent Of th'
State viii enter the campaign, with yea
that has not been felt since the election o.
the lamented lincoln. We do not expect
nor do we desire to see, any of that wild
reckless enthusiasm that sometimes get
control Of the masses, and, without know
;ng why, carries like mad stream--every
thing before it, .--.r
The OoiiTention has given the eoantry :
ticket untainted with the least Suspicion 2
fraud or corruption Of any kind; men tbs
are known to be able and honest, and tha
the honest Eoterd can feelo that he cal
trust with the sacred interests Of the eoun
try, which i the strongest, the best, an'
the only party lash that can be used in th
Republican party.

Eds. Tsl:vOur hot days. though prolific
Sf good, are also productive of murmurs
by day as well as by night. At these times
Lake Erie has its attractions, and parties
to her borders are numerous. The Coast
Survey party while stopping on our shores
were very generous Of their boats, and all
who wished had chance for boat riding,
with strong arms to do the rowing. The
erection of observatories upon the south
shore seems to be regular business. The
oheIat Riag9viile i now out of the hands
Of those who put up the frame-standing
124 feet high, and higher altitude yet to
be attained. The work Of putting up an
other is progressing, at AnaOveF After
this, another is, according toeIeport going
UP as Eagleville,, with SOME 30 or more
yet to build. They are to be made to an
swer the purpose, as we hear, for placing
instruments for calculating attitudes, &c.
They might be Of use just now to our Dem
ocratic friends in teleseoping a candidate
who is willing to stand the chances of a
inohihatton. AT any rate, going upward
might prove a novelty to some Of those
New York Tammanyites.
Our strawberry festivals last week were
numerous, and all suecessful1iHi pecuniary
rsturnsl That of the Presbyterian ladies
was especially attractive-with the band,
the park, and the varied decorations Of
both park and town hall. Your town was
represented by DIR. Wallace and lady, the
coast survey party,-and other soeieties Of

The name of N. S. Jones, in your last

was he who contributed the bushel of
berries, ana he should take the 'palln. : o
On the evening 81 the goth, a Post Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic was organ
lied here by comrades Palmer; Hunt,
Woodwork, Petty, and Fisk, of Geneva.
C. w. Kinnear was chosen commander
there now being sixteen members. The

large membership Of loyal and true
hearts, for the perpetuatiOn of patriotic
