BUSINESS
COLLEGE,
AND
TELEGRAPH INSTITUTE.
The Larges in the West.

The large number of young men
who have no time or money to spend
upon studies that are not to be of prae-
tical financial value to them must,
from their necessities, enter at once
upon the the short way TO successful
and useful business life. business
Colleges have become national ne
cessity. The best men Of the country
recognize their useful mission and
patronize them. The student should
select the best institution, and the best
il the one that presents the best course
of instruction, has the best corps OF
teachers and the best arranged rooms
for classification. The Davenport
Business Collegepresents the following
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:
The very large attendance and
profitable business Of the College en-
ables the proprietors to secure the best
talent for teachers. They pay the
largest salaries of any Business Col
lege in the West, and employ only
those teachers that command high
place everywhere and are worthy OF 1t.
The College rooms are fitted up in
substantial and elegant style with all
the modern improvements expressly
for this College, and are probably the
best arranged rooms for Business Col
lcge purposes in the West-and are not
surpassed anywhere.
The Boarding Club is in successful
operation and furnishes the student
with excellent board ut prime cost.
The kitchen, dining room and table
furniture complete is furnished by the
college free of charge, a cook employed,
groceries and provisions are bought at
wholesale, each student paying his
proportion of actual cost. In this way
good board and rooms, furnished and
taken care of, is obtained at a cost of
about $50 to $3.50 per week.
Superiority of Penmanship Depart
ment. This department furnishes first
class facilities for preparing young
men to become good business penman,
or for acquiring thorough scientific
and practical knowledge of penman-
ship, business and ornamental, or to
teach penmanship. Both of the pro-
prietors of the College are classed in
the Spenccrian publications as adopts
in the Spencerian, which is the only
system that uniformly produces good
writers, and is the standard system.
Cur students are in demand rs teach
ers of penmanship in other schools,
and frequently get situations as such
before completing the course.
Every department has professor in
charge as instructor, who is selected
with special reference to eminence al
ready achieved in that department.
We are confident that all these adj
vantages, combined, are possessed by
no other school. They are considera-
tions which unite to influence the stu
dent to choose the Davenport Business
College as the place for him to obtain
a practical Business Education.
Six hundred students during the
past year.

Az,

This Is generally capricious but an
important month for the farmer. Fre-
ouently attended with cold winds, and
sometimes ornamented with spits OF
snow. But the diligent farmer would
not be discouraged. April has been 50
favorable that a larger amount of corn
planted to this date than any time In
twenty years. But now is the time to
have corn in the ground, and 1t be-
comes farmers to improve every mo-
ment until the appointments Of the
farm are in perfect order. Early ris-
ing, and punctuality in business and
engagements are necessary to success.
II seed be good there Is seldom any
loss by early planting, but frequently
much loss by delay. When the season
has arrived, whether the ground be
cold or warm, cast in the seed, and
trust to Providence for the genial
showers and warming influence OF the
sun, and you will be sure to reap
bountiful harvest. The spring at the
present writing is two weeks in ad-
vance of last year, and by vigilance
there is abundant reason to expect the
amplest crops.
This month was probably named for
.Ma;a goddess, the mother of Mercu-
ry. And those who celebrate the first
of May are celebrating very pleasant
fragment of heather ceremonies. II
has been practiced down through all
ages of Christianity; and as far back
as the dimmest lights of history shed
any rays. Ii is now, however, more a
devotion to Flora, the goddess Of flow
ers. and the sacrifices which are thus
made are not discreditable tothe heart.
Such devotions and sacrifices have
been immortalized in poetry by Shake
speare, Chaucer, Browne. and others.
And the recollections Of the May pole
and May Queen, of our boyhood days,
awaken some of the sweetest spots in
a long life of worldly servitude.-.Ndte

The end ofthe Van ierbilt itisa!ion
va not reached when the compromise
of f.. weeks ago was effected. The
favored eon in the old mans will
wisely concluded that the shortest
way to settlement Of the contest, and
the -ure-t way To keep the bulk Of the
estate from eventually getting into the
possession Of the lawyers, was TO ar
range the matter with the different
/ heirs upon an ainicable basis. There
seems somehow to have been screw
loose in the negotiations with Corne
iius, the ne'er-do well, whom his
father cut Off with half a million, ant
who now brings suit against William
H. to enforce the contract by which
he was to have round million. Their

For the farmers Of Iowa We would
say word of apology. If they do not

the unusual pressure in money mat.

New HampShire.


Tomorrow the annual election of New
Hampshire takes place. The campaign has
been prosecuted with little zeal, the choice OF
the Republican candidate for Governor by at
handsome majority being generally conced-
ed. Last spring the Repu 5licans carried
the state by $500 majority and last November
by $4,000. The man who heads the
ticket this year, the Hon. B. T. Prescott, is
an accomplished gentleman, deseryedly pop
ular in the State. His opponent, the Hon.
Daniel Marcy, is not acceptable to consid-
cradle portion of his party, his extreme and
violent course in years past being unaccepta-
BILE to even the extreme and violent New
Hampshire Democracy. The Republicans
are confident of carrying four of the five
counsellor districts, six of the ten counties,
and both houses Of the Legislature by good
majority.
The real contest is in the Congressional
districts, which are all sharply contested. In
the first district the candidates are Gilman
Marston, Republican, land Frank Jones, Dem
ocrat, the present incumbent. The Demo-
Gratis profess to be sanguine of Jones's re-
election, but the best information tends to
show that Marston will be successful by at
least 800 majority. Two years ago the Dem
ocratic majority was 1856. In the second dis
trict the candidates are James F. Briggs,
Republican, and A. W, Sulloway, Democrat.
The district is now represented by S.
N. Bell, a Democrat, who was chosen
by 154 majority. The election of Mr.. Briggs
is generally conceded. His friends claim
1000 majority, but the Democrats think it
will be less. The third district, now repre-
sented by FL. W. Blair, Republican, who was
chosen two years ago by 200 majority, is very
closely contended. Mr.. Blair has been re-
nominated, and his Democratic opponent is
Henry o. Kent. Republicans claim the des-
trict by an increased majority, and Demo-
Gratis are quite as confident of success. The
probabilities however favor the reelection of
Mr.. Blair, thus giving a solid Republican
Congressional delegation from New Hamp-
shire, and Republican gain of two seats.
