Not the least interesting part of the
proceedings at st. Louis were the prayers
which introduced each days sessions. On
the first day Bishop Marven, who used to
be very fervent in prayer for the success
of the Confederacy, prayed with an elo-
quence which showed that his heart was
in the cause. Yesterday Catholic priest
was instrusted with the devotions. His
manner of addressing the Throne of Grace
was SO much like stump speech that
many of the delegates misapprehended
the drift of his discourse, and rudely in
terrupted with disrespectful comments.
The scene which followed the good faith
er's effort made it clear that the seed was
sowed in stony Cincinnati Ca
zette.

The abdication of the Sultan gave three
thousand American newspapers an oppor-
tunity to remark that "the Sultan Abdul
Aziz is the Sultan Abdul as was" And
yet some persons declare that American
humor is dying.

A young lady dressed in much false
hair was warbling on the piano, and
when her mother summoned her to assist
in some household duties, her rosy lips
opened poutingly, and snapped out, ''Oh,
do it Your selfI'S and went on singing,
"Kind words can never die"

Grain, consisting Of one gum and one iron
roller-which is really the only force feed ar
rangement made-giving you an even and
regular distribution of grain at all times. Can
SOW any amount of grain, from peck to two
| bushels.
2D-The Patent Spring Hoes, having gum
springs on end of Drag-Bar (being the only
perfect gum-spring arrangement) thereby
doing away with the old wooden brake-pins
and allowing the Drill to pass any obstruc-
ton that the axle will go over without inter-
fering with working Of Drill.
3D-The Patent movable or sliding Fhlcrum
| Of Spring Bar for sowing the grain deep or
shallow, is an improvement not possessed by
any other drill.
4rH-The Patent shield for copering the Gear
wheels, to prevent clogging or cramping with
weeds, cornstalks or accumulation of grit and
gravel, which make Drill run heavy, is
needed improvement over all other drills.
5TH-The Land Surveyor is as correct as it
| is possible to make one, having one face show
ing 1-16 acre, and another face registering
the acres.
6TH-The Patent A1le is so constructed that
| the bearings are all on the outer and inner
parts of Spindle, causing the Drill to run
lighter to the team, and more steady, than if
bearing was all on center of spindle.
7TH-All we can say for the Putent Guano
or Fertilizer Attachment is that it is the only
one that will sow or distribute properly all
kinds of fertilizers in all conditions.
The BEST also has Patent Hoe Shifter, by
which the Boots can be changed from straight
to zigzag line, or vice versa, while seeding
along. The Grass Seed Attachment is perfect.
In fact, it would be impossible to give all the
good and superior points possessed by this
Drill, without occupying too much space.
Suffice it to say, our Drill is just what is
claimed for 1.-THE -6est-AND HAS NO EQUAL.

INDEPENDENT SYSTEM.

This system has been known in Iowa
for some years, but has recently become
more prevalent Its prevalence gave rise
to dislike for it. | have tried to gain
the opinions of educators on the matter
and so far as known they are not favorable
to the system.
Our schools are founded upon this
principle-the greatest good to the great
est number. This principle is sound and
must be vigorously sustained. If our
public schools are the palladium of Amer
can liberty, then this principle must pre-
serve it unlnolested. While that neigh
borhood that has wealth is bettered by
striking away from that one which has
not so much wealth yet the above princi-
pie is violated. Districts whose valuation
is light must assess extremely burden
some taxes or support poor schools. For
this reason, if for no other, townships
should not be independent Besides this
it creates new offices, and increases the
already complicated difficulties arising in
school management. State Supt. Aber-
nethy does not approve the system, and
the 10th General Assembly passed an act
urging that no more be founded, but that
we return again to the district township
system.

Proposed Changes.

At a meeting held at Star school-house,
on March 18th, 1876, the voters and tax
payers there present unanimously resolved
that in view of our isolated situation,
taxation without representation &c, we
propose TO organize the new county of
"Bussey" from the part of Mahaska coun-
ty southwest of Des Moines river, known
as west Des Moines, and Jefferson town
ship, together with slice from Monroe
county, and what we can get from Mar
ion Co. The county seat to be Busy, on
the K. & d. Railroad. 1t is also proposed
TO build branch road from Eddyville (up
Bluff creek to Busy. And it is further
proposed to remove the National Capitol,
from the proud voluptuous city Of Wash
ington, to st. Louis, or some city in the
Mississippi valley. All of which is re-
spectfully submitted. Monroe, Marion,
and other papers can copy. The above
was signed by seventeen of the yeomanry
of west Des moines tp., including T. j.
Truax, speaker. JOHN TAYLOR,

One person was supposed to be converted

The question was put to the supposed
