Letter from Iowa.
LEON, Iowa, Aug. IA, 1878.

LEON, Iowa. Aug. IA, 1878.
To the Editor of the Standard:
The heated term we hope has drawn to
close out here, and we all draw sigh
of relief when the cool breeze comes
stealing over the broad prairies. Iowa
now wears her most imposing dress, her
beautiful prairies are decked with au-
tumn flowers, and the long grass waves
in the breeze As you gradually ascend
some elevated spot your eye will take in
vast extent of country; when you get
up to the top of these plains you can look
over-well we don't want to say how
much. for your readers would say we were
telling a monstrous mo such thing"
but 100 miles would be but a common
view, that is 100 square miles. Yes, and
see every field of grain on that much ter
ritory. l tell you the sight is grand.
The meadows and fields of small grain
that have been harvested look like spots
of gold on a green plain; but when we
get to writing about these things we get
carried away, for they seem more like
the work of the Creator than the crea-
ture; that is the fields of waving corn,
with the golden spots here and there.
Wheat, oats, rye and grass, are all good
here this year, and a large acreage was
sown. We will have large surplus of
these grains to dispose. Corn Yes, we
raise corn out here, and if you were here
to see the corn fields and the immense
ears, two, and often three on one stalk,
and reaching almost across from one row
to the other, your eyes would open with
wonder. Most of the corn is too hard
for roasting ears now, and if the frost
does not come too soon, it will be the
largest crop raised for years. There will
be plenty of fruit; that is apples they
are worth 40 cents per bushel now. Pol
itics are waxing warm, but the old relia-
BILE Republican party will sweep the field.

BY THE EDITOR.

At fifteen minutes after six on last
Wednesday morning, l started to the
Congressional convention at Portsmouth.
l went by way of Waverly. There were
but few passengers on the Narrow Gauge
train. We reached Waverly in one hour
and fifteen minutes never travelled on
any road where the cars ran more
smoothly than they did on the little
Narrow Gauge.
In about twenty minutes after we
reached Waverly the Columbus train
came, and l was the only passenger to
get on at Waverly. There were four or
five passenger cars. all we'll filled. took
front seat in the rear car, and pretty
soon the conductor opened the door and
came in and stopped in front of me. l
commenced getting out my railroad pass,
when he raised his hand and said: "all
right sir; all right" At first l did not
understand him, as l had never been on
that train, and that conductor had GER
tainly never seen me. All at once |
thought how it was. He had mistaken
me for Gen. Sherman, and of course they
never make the General show his pass
on the trains.
Four miles below Waverly we came to
Piketon, fine, quiet looking old village.
1 stopped over night there, at Nessler's
tavern, in 1916. the only time l was ever
in the place. 1t looked just like it did
then
Lucasville is pretty little village, for
size less than Centreville, and larger than
Berlin The Scioto bottom all the way
from Waverly to Portsmouth, is one con-
tinuous cornfeld. The corn is not high
er than the corn on the Jackson Hills,
but there is just about double the amount
on the ground There is where they get
the start of US.
At nine o'clock the train stopped, and
the conductor cried Portsmouth" l
looked out upon the right, and there was
only cornfeld, away across to the dis
tillery of George Davis. 1 got out on the
left, and there stood dozen hacks, and
a great crowd, mostly the Ross and Pike
delegations, and others from those coun-
ties. 1t must be nearly mile from the
end of the road to the Biggs House.
1 have understood that Portsmouth
refuses to permit railroads to run through
the city 1t would save tens of thousands
of dollars if both railroads ran to the
landing on the Ohio river. Thousands
of tons of pigiron, and merchandise of
all kinds have to be handled two or
three times, and drayed or hauled from
the railroads to the river, and from the
river to the railroads.
When l arrived at the Biggs House I !
was most kindly received by the propri-
etor, Sanford Bundy Jennings. There
we're large crowds OF people there.

The nomination of Robert Smalls as

the Fifth South Carolina District, is hap
PLY not in keeping with the respondent
tone of the resolutions passed by the

desperate odds, that man is Brave Black
Bob, the pilot" Born a slave, self-edu-
Gated, and selfreliant he did good SER
vice during the rebellion, and made
national reputation by delivering the
rebel transport Planter over to the Union
feet. In Congress he has already served
with credit, and as his district is Republi-

NOT a OuAcK NosTRUM,
Parental Duties.
To the Editor of the Standard

To the Editor of the Standard:
This subject has the virtue of being
thoroughly practical. For this very rea-
son some parents will perhaps turn away
from it. We too often have a disrelish
for questions that involve moral obliga-
ton. 1t is easier to study mathematics
than ethics, simply because the former
has nothing to do with the conscience
and life Each relation of life imposes
duties peculiar to itself There are spe-
cifc duties resting upon US as parents. The
question constantly confronts US, what
are our duties to our children?
We cannot ignore this question with
out doing great injustice to our children
whom God has given US, and violating
our own convictions of right. We should
rather meet this important question hon
estly, use all possible means of acquaint-
ing ourselves with our duties, and faith
fully discharge them.
First, we should see to their physical
welfare. Proper clothing and food are
to be provided. We are to guard against
disease. Neglect at this point often re-
suits in life of disease and suffering and
an early death. Our children need strong,
healthy bodies to prepare them to meet
what lies before them.
Secondly, we are to give them the best
few parents can afford to graduate their
children; but with the facilities for
common education at our command we
are wholly inexcusable for suffering our
children to grow up in ignorance. We
should furnish them proper papers and
books for home reading and give them
the time from daily labor for such read
ing.
Thirdly, above every thing else we should
do all in our power to have our child
rem form the right character. The words
of an accountable immortal being are of
supreme importance. Good words imply
good manners, good principles, good hab-
its of every kind The first thing neces-
sary is for US to place before our children
good example, an example of patience,
of honesty, of self denial, and self control.
We have no right to expect that our
children will be any better than we are.
AS the mother so is the daughter as the
father so is the son. This stands as the
general rule, although we meet with some
exceptions to it. We must do all we can
to plant the truths of the Christian relig-
ion deep in the hearts of our children
They must learn that there is an infinite
distance between right and wrong, that
they must adhere to the right under all
circumstances, that Gods eye is ever up
on them, that He is always displeased
with the wrong and will help them to do
right. In brief, we are to be like Christ
ourselves we are to cultivate His spirit
and initiate His life, and strive with all
diligence to lead our children in the same
pathway There is nothing so akin to
heaven in this world, as well ordered
Christian family. 1t will be thousand
times better to start our children in life
with fair education and good character,
than to transmit to them the fortune of

The very excellent sermon we publish
this week, takes up the space usually al
otted to selected poetry, and we will
give some here. We think the following
is very fine:
THE SILENT RIVER.
BY EDITH C. WINANs.
where the tide of our years GIBBS
And hushed is the lingering breath,
Where the known and the unknown so strange
Flows the mystic river of death.
Where the eyes grow dim and the pulses still,
Deep f1oweth the silent river.
The years pass out from our feverish grasp,
Unheeding each bitter regret;
Some darkened with sorrow and grieving, and
In halo of sunshine set.
Yet nearer the shores OF the vast unknown,
And nearer the silent river.
Sometimes we dream of the beautiful land
So free from all sorrows and tears,
And with weary hands folded we earnestly
To rest from our doubtings and fears;
The shadows lie dark, while increasingly roll
The waves of the silent river.
Watching while loved ones pass over the tide
Slow drifting. far out from our sight,
We whisper "Good-by'' through our tears
while we place
Sweet roses DER brOwS still and white;
We list for some sound from the farther strand
But no echo floats back from the unknown lane
Across the silent river.
Yet think sometimes in the shadow land
The angels will lovingly wait,
And over the river dark and so still.
And up to the beautiful gate
OF the city where night ne'er darkens the day
They will lead them safe through the lionel!
way
Across the silent river.
| And when, to pass over the river so cold,
For my soul the summons shall be,
May the angels of light, from the other shore,
In the shadows be waiting for me,
| To safely guide DER the unknown strand
Through the untr1ed way, to the Better Land
| Beyond the silent river.

Trip, the Republican candidate for
Judge, has made an Independent fortune
practicing law, and desiring to retire
from the business, he wants the people
to elect him Judge so that he can retire
"honorably." We think that the people
have done enough for Mr.. Tripp, and
that they will elect some poor man
Judge, who really needs it. The people
have done all they intend to for the rich,
and will hereafter give the poor man
chance [Waverly Watchman.
Yes. Trip is rich aristocrat. You
can find plenty of drunken, loafng Dem
ocratic bummers, who are poor enough,
in all conscience Give them chance
1t will be rather amusing for those
who know Mr.. Trip best, to be told that
he ought not to be elected Judge, on ac-
count of his great wealth. He was very
rich and aristocratic when we first knew
him. We went out to Liberty township
to attend lawsuit before him, as he was
then a Squire in that township. We
found him plowing on one of the stoni-
est and poorest hills in little "Bristle,"
and we did not think he appeared to be
much stuck up then. He is the same
plain man now that he was then. True
he has had good law practice, and he
has deserved it. He has saved enough
to be able to pay his debts, live COM
fortably, and have something left. Dem
ocrats do not like such men.

FORCED RESUMPTION.

The Democratic Legislature of Ohio
passed an act on the 18th of April, 1858,
to take effect July l, 1858, the 14th sec
tion of which reads as follows:
SEC. IA. On and after the 4th day of

payments of ten dollars and under; and
after the 4th day of July, 1860, all pay
ments of twenty dollars and under; after
the 4th day of July, 1861, all payments
of thirty dollars and under; after the
4th day of July. 1862, all payments of
fifty dollars and under; after the 4th

hundred dollars and under; after the

Some weeks ago we received a copy of
paper called the Cincinnati Post, ask
ing an exchange. We had never heard
of such a paper before, but as we
often confer favors upon the weaker
brethren, we graciously granted an ex-
change, and now the Post says:
"Col. Mackley, of the Jackson STAN
dard, is getting himself considerably
worked up over the political canvass, and
when the Colonel gets warm he sweats
and steams and steams and sweats in a
way that makes cooler man sympathize
with him very much.
We began to look for the name of the
editor, and found that it was Jam, or
Sham, or Ham, or something. Looking
farther, we found puffs from sundry reb-
Ell papers in Georgia, stating that Major
General Sham had been Southern edi-
tor. Then we understood what was the
matter with Major General Sham. He
does not like US because we prefer to
earn our living by the sweat of our own
face, and not by the sweat of the face of
the odd niggah, by gad sab"
We do, however, thank Gen. Sham, of
the confederate States of America" for
