Immense Business,

The business of the q. b. & @. Rail-
road never was better than it is now,
at this time Of the year. From Sat-
urday night at 6 o'clock until this
morning at 6 O'Clock, one hundred
and two freight trains passed through
this city, making grand total of
something over two thousand cars.
1t should be remembered that this
vast number is exclusive of all pass
ger cars, working trains, etc. This is
q great increase, and is perhaps the
largest business of an ordinary char
acter ever done by this road. What
it will be in the future remains to be
seen.

Jail Delivery.

The Wapello county Jail is struct-
ure built in ages gone by, and at that
time was considered safe against the
efforts of the most desperate criminal.
OF late years, however,it has required
the constant efforts of the sheriff and
one or two deputies to keep the most
ordinary criminal from falling out,
and within the last year or SO several
very nearly successful attempts to
break jail were made and were only
prevented by the merest chance.
Yesterday most of the prisoners
confined in the spiders nest were
released from their cells to police
their quarters, and, as the jailor says,
ito wash and get ready for church."
BY some means they had come into
possession of bayonet from an old
musket, and as soon as the keepers
back was turned, three or four of the
State criminals commenced picking
out the bricks by one of the upper
windows,and it is said by some of the
inmates that in less than ten minutes
they had made hole large enough
ksr any ordinary man to crawl
through. This opportunity for es-
cape was soon taken by Trulove
Sparks, the man who assisted
in stealing j. w. Carpenters
hogs, Demar Wolf, of Clark county,
charged with burglary, man by the
name Of King from the same county,
confined on the same charge, and q
young man charged with picking
pockets. The last one had not got
cut of sight when the escape was
discovered, and was captured before
he was out of sight of the Jail. Two
others were overhauled, but Wolf,
the most desperate of the lot and the
first one out is still at large.
The persons recaptured were taken
back, and the man Sparks and the
pick-pocket are now kept in such
condition that they will not probably
make another attempt to escape soon.
The re-captured Clark County pris-
oner King, and another man from
the same county were taken to that
county to-day, where the District
Court lie now in session, and from
whence they will probably be sent to
Fort Madison, and will give the au-
thoritics no further trouble.

not have 30 discouraging an effect on

SOMETIME.


when all life's lessons have been learnd
And sun and stars forevermore have set,
The things wi ich our weak judgment here have
spurned,
The things DER which we fret with lashes wet
VIII fash before us, out OF life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints OF blue;
And we shall see how all God 8 plans were right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we shall see how, while I'VE frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me;
How, when we called he needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see.
And even as prudent parents disallow
Too much Of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
LIES sweetest thing, because it seemeth good.
We find the worm wood, and rebel and shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
oh, do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace.
And you shall shortly know that heightened
breath
ELS not the dearest gift God sends His friend, i.
And that, sometimes, the sable pail OF death
Conceals the fairest boon His love can send.
If we could push ajar the gates OF life
And stand within, and all Gods workings see.
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find the key.
But to-day, then be content, poor heart
Gods plans. like lilies, pure and white unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes Of gold.
And IT, through patient toll. we reach the land
Where tired feet. with sandals loose. may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we will say, "God knew the best"

The Dispatch presents Hon. A. G. Thur
man, of Ohio, and Hon. j. r. Tucker, of Vir-
ginia, as the proper opponents of Democratic
financial policy. Very well. let it be so. If
the Democratic party should be so foolish as
to formulate the views of these gentlemen
into platform as to the finance issue,and go
before the country with it in 1880, there will
scarcely be grease spot left of it. The peo-
pie do not intend to allow any interference
with the present financial policy of the Gov
ernment. Its working out the most bene-
ficent results, and to change it in one par
ticular would be to derange the whole, and
bring confusion upon the business. OF the
country. 1t is all right and must be let
alone, and that is not what Messrs. Thur
man and Tucker propose.

indicator and Spectator, state that Hon.
A. Fl. Fl. Stuart, having declined to accept
the position OF director in the Baldwin Au-
gusta County Fair Board, to which he had
been elected, Mr.. Gideon Barnhart was
chosen to fill the vacancy thus occasioned.
We learn that Mr.. Stuart was not officially
informed that he had been elected, and, if it
had been the fact, he would have accepted,
as to have declined would have indicated in
difference to local enterprises and indus
tries. There has been mistake or misun--
