THE TROUBLES IN AUSTRIA.
A Wide Variety of Opinions Among the
Many NatiOnalities of that Country.

The anti Russian disposition of the
Pope Is having marked effect upon
party feeling in Austria, and intensifles
the bitterness between the Clericals
and the Nationalists. The POitih, the
most devoted Czech organ in Bohemia,
and the Ultramontane VaterLa1,d are in
full conflict, and exchanging compli-
ments worthy OF some OF our own re-
ligious journals. One thinks National
ism "heathenish and Infamous" while
the other regards Catholicism as stu
pidity ITSELF" When the Czech journal
speaks of "the Emperor" it means not
Francis Joseph. but the Gar, and this
has caused the Polish papers in Galicia
to declare against the Czechs. AS re-
CARDS the third Slavic element in Aus
tria, the Croats, they are neither hot
Russophobists, like the Poles, nor en-
thusiastic Russophiles, like the Czechs.
The recent pro- Russian demonstration
at the reception Of the Archduke AL
brecht, in the Croatian capital of
Agram, was only counter blast to the
Magyar endorsement of the Turks. and
amid all this confusion, and dominating
it like the clamor Of great bell over a
tumult, rings out the formidable clang
Of the religious question.

RErRAcTION EXTRAORDINARY
We learn that some of the good people
took serious exception to the casual
statement made in last weeks Scott
Ruble article that the newly born was
a "young Democrat" Our sensitive
friends of the opposite political belief
of course saw at once that this was
written in the most malignant spirit
of partisan hate and with profound
conviction thai Republicans never
do anything naughty, and they
therefore naturally resented it as
a personal insult. Now, then
although we were informed last week
on the highest legal authority that
Tallie Ruble's baby was boy, we since
have her testimony that ii is girl;
and, although it has been p,uipently
suggested that she is yolng and mex
perienced and may he mistaken in the
premises, we are inclined TO accept her
testimony and conceje tina, il IL girl.
That being the fact, there Is of course
nothing left for us except immediate
and unconditional retraction of the Of
feRsiye statement. And we do there
fore hereby freely, fully, circumstan
italy, explicitly, abundantly ane
overwhelmingly Withdraw, recall, re
tract, recant, revoke, diseiaim, disa

TO THE CITIZENS OF IOWA :

The Iowa LIFE INSURANCE Com
PANY owes its existance to the convict
ion that Life Insurance should be
furnished Mt less rates than have
heretofore been afforded.
The originators of The Iowa Life
believed that the laboring classes, and
those i'm moderate circumstances, who
had been heretofore deprived of the
benefits of Life Insurance by reason of
the enormous sums required to be paid
annually, as well AS the rich, should
have an opportunity afforded
them to make suitable provision for
those depending upon them, without
taking all they could save from their
earnings to pay advance premiums"
They believe if the insurance could
be called upon for small sums at inter-
walls, as they might be needed, to pay
losses only, and a fixed sum to defray
expenses, and by each policy holder
paying IA just share of losses as they
occurred, that no person who could
pass the required medical examination
need be deprived of Life Insurance
Policy on account of the cost.
At the present time there are two
Mutual Life Insurance companies
represented in this county upon the
same plan of Insurance the Centennial
of Burlington. And the Iowa Life OF
Keokuk. The latter was organized
March 3rd, 1874; has paid all losses
promptly and the number of policies
now issued at this date, Dec. 9th, 1876
are 600. And as a 5000 policy holder
can not receive i'm either company
five thousand dollars until there are
five thousand paying members 1T will
be to your interest to insure in the
Iowa Life, which has double the mem
bership OF any other Mutual Life
Insurance company in the State OF
Iowa
I'd. After five thousand members
are enrolled, the cost upon death
dimiEishes in proportion to the mum
Borrower five thousand; that is to say, i
there were ten thousand members thu
cost would be fifty cents instead of ont
dollar, and if twenty thousand, TWEEN
