II the rolling Of countless hoops follow

corners, and the milliners' windows full
Of spring bonnets, mean the coming OF that

must he near at hand, for all these signs
are apparent. and besides, the birds held
u special convention in the trees this
morning to announce the fact. How
they did twitter and flutter, chattering
worse than old ladies over precious bill
Ot scandal, and claiming to be individu-
ally heard IS persistently as any member
Ofcongress. They did better however
than the politicians, for they settled mat
tiers finally, and united in one grand
chorus before they flew away to their
nests. In quite as sweet fashion, but
more silently, the trees and plants have
been issuing prophecies. Buds have
been swelling and bursting leaves have
been unfolding, and out In the shadowy
places OF the forests, timid blossoms are
peeping, telling the winds TO carry their
fragrant assurance Of spring through all
their wanderings. There Is only one
other story which will bear such rcpeti-
ton. We never tire of hearing of the
coming summer; We never tire OF
hearing the whispers OF love. Think of
the Spring times that have come and
gone, always welcome; think Of the
young hearts that have opened to the
raptures Of loving since Adam and Eve
found out its bliss, and weigh that
giadness aud happiness against all
the wretchedness and misery that
would make us hate existence.

The Hon J. H. Murphy was quite
correct when he told the people in
nearly every speech he made through
the District that "he wanted their
votes" This vas true: and as it was
pretty nearly all the truth he did tell,
he sh ould have full credit therefor
He needed the votes and he needs
them yet, and 30 far as representing
the second District Of Iowa in the
Congress of the United States il con-
cerned, he always will need them
For never was . candidate for
office more completely sat down upon,
The nine hundred Democratic majori-
~ with which he entered the; canvass
has melted away and been replaced by
some two thousand majority for Hir-
Price. At this writing it seems doubt
fulif Murphy has carried a single coun
ty in the District. Certain it is that his
own county of Scott, which gave a
Democratic majority Of l, 1876, has been
carried for Mr.. Price by handsome
majority-the city and township Of
Davenport starting it with 100.
No definite figures from all the
counties have yet been received, but
it is sure that Price has carried Cedar
by $50, Clinton by at least 800, Jones
by at least 800, Muscatine by 400 and
Scott by 5s. The latest reports from
jackson put Murphy 200 behint
Shean, who only carried the county
by 22s majority.
Good and glorious enough, say WI
all of US. And such is ever the voice
of Iowa when issues like those of tn,
recent canvass are presented to he
people.

Lucy Hooper, writing from Paris 10
the World, tells how the ex-Enpress
Eugenie's claim TO beauty was e-tab-
lishei. As a young girl at the court
of Madrid she wore the flowing drap-
cry fashionable at that time, and
which was unfavorable to the display
OF her exquisite figure. One day she
fell into lake, and wa. taken out in
sensible. The then wet dress elung
to her, and her reputation for fault
lessne-s of form was never afterward
questioned. The same writer saws:
ITO her great credit be il said that, az
ter she became Empress Of the French
though she presided over one Of the
most dissolute Courts Of modern
Europe, the breath Of slander never
dared assail her. Her married life
was far from being happy. Like a
true Spaniaad, she was passionately
jealous of her husband. who certainly
gave her ample cause"
