1.-The Thunder Aims High
From tho Natr YORK wnrlI

The news from Berlin gives "actu-
ality"to the list we else where publish
of attempts made since lS4S upon the
lives of rulers. 1t is observable that
the lives of three rulers only in that
time have been more than once assail-
ed. These are Napoleon III, the Gar
Alexander and the Emperor of Ger
many. The thunder aims high.
Against the life of the first of these
eovereigns six attempts were planned
but only three were actually made,
so that the Emperor of Germany has
now confronted as often as Napoleon
himself the actual danger Of assassi-
nation at the hands of his own sub
jects. The Cars life has been twice
attempted. 1t is a curious and no,a-
BILE circumstance that only one of ten
attempts made to Stay the heads of
monarchial governments in Europe
has succeeded, while every one of
five recorded as against the Presidents
of republics in America were carried
out fatally. As there are, including
the Emperors ofChina and Japan and
Kings of Siam and the Sandwich Is
lands, forty-two sovereigns of cogni-
Fable importance who reign by hered-
itary right, and only seventeen rulers
including the Pope, who rule by cleo.
tive right, it certainly looks as if hui.
man creatures were at least as hard
to please with their chiefs they
choose for themselves as with those
whom they take by the will or favor
| of heaven.

COMMON SENSE.

Many imagine all advertised medi-
cines as worthless nostrums, and in
discriminatory condemn them; but
it is an injustice to the thousands of
respectable citizens who give volun-
tary evidence of benefits received, 10
thus question and doubt their veraci-
ty aud integrity. Fairbanks stand
ard scales are extensively advertised.
Does it necessarily follow that they
are inferior in make, and less accur-
ate than others? Have they not been
demonstrated to be among the best !?
Again, is it common sense to suppose
that a physician with capital could be
induced to hazard it and hard earn
ed reputation upon worthless arti-

THE FLOYD co. DISASTER
Terrible Storm-Loss of Life and
Property-Sad Results.
Charles City Advocate, 4,h.

Charies City Auvocae, AID.
Saturday evening between 6 and Z
o'clock, terrific storm passed thro'
Pleasant Grove Township. The
course was from near the northeast
corner going little west of south.
The rain and bail came down in tor
rents and with a vengeance, accom-
panied with wind that knew not nor
spared anything in its way, which
was about mile wide. 1t turned r.
F. Cramer's stable over, letting his
horses loose struck Remmer Loops
house, shaking it 30 hard that he fled
to the granary, a lower and safer
building, dragging his wife with him
through the rain and hail. Next 1t
struck +. j. Sanders stable and sheds
mashed them to the ground, literally
drove 30 acres Of wheat into the
ground for him, cut other wheat of,
and packed corn ground SO that it is
as hard as a ROAD bed Next came
the house of G. Arnott's, where lives
Mr.. McAbee. He changed house for
sheds, which was fortunate, as the
house soon tumbled. Geo. Hooker's
cribs and sheds were taken away,
blew Mr.. Toogood's granary over
in short metre, and Ben Powers Lean
ing against it all the time. Took a
shed away where Ben had placed his
wo horses, and tried to run away
with his sulky. Flood Creek rose to
an almost unbelievable height and
width. Some called it a mile wide
Sunday morning.
The half has not yet been told.
Another current of the storm and
wind passed from the northwest cor
ner of Scott township towards the
southeast, about three o'clock, do
ing greater damage and more devas.
tation than through Pleasant Grove.
John II. Waller, owning several
farms in its course, will be the great
est loser. 1t blew two farm houses
down, where lived tenants, and barns
everywhere. even the barn on the
home farm. In one house that went
down it broke a woman's jaw in two
places, broke the mans leg twice be-
low the knee, and injured young
child SO that ii died afterwards.
Many other houses were turned
around or over, stables and tools
were carried away, and crops badly
damsged. Below in Butler county,
a Mr.. German and his wife were
drowned in the Coldwater. Super
visor Oaks, from Scott, says it moved
a wing TO his house, doing some dam
age to it, blew sulky corn pillow
mile away, and set a school house
near him off from the district land.
We cannot give the total damage
done to stock, crops, fences and build
lngs, or persons at the writing, as it
is not all in Strange freaks follow
ed this serious slayer and demolisher.
Sanders had hog and fifty hens
before the storm, now he has one hen
out of the lot.

Gilt Edged Butter.

For many years Mrs. N. T.. Hill has
been generally known as the premi-
UNI butter maker of Wapello county.
She has had the kindness to send us
samples OF her butter, made since
she has had i'm use one of Cooley's
Portable Creameries. By the use of
this very simple machine, she is en-
abled to raise the cream inside of IL
hours, and hence churns all her but
ter from sweet cream. These cream
cries arc simply a receptacle for each
milking, 80 surrounded by cold wa
ter or ice, that it is kept perfectly
sweet, and at the proper time the milk
is drawn off by n faucet at the bottom
of the cooler, leaving the cream in
tact. BY this process she is enabled
to make butter that is sweet, solid
and gilt-edged in the strictest sense
of that term.
Mrs. Hill readily sells all her but
ter at 25 to 40 cents per pound and
cannot make enough to supply those
who want it, Many of our farmers
wives have much yet to learn in but
ter making, and they would do well
to learn from the experience of Mrs
Hill. She doubtless will have some
of her butter and her Cooley Cream.

CHICAGO, JUNE 4, 1878.
Notice.-To take effect June 9Th.
Mr.. Thomas j. Potter is appointed
general superintendent in charge of
the operating department Of this
company's railroads, with headquar-
tiers at Burlington, Iowa.
G. E. PERKINS,
Nice-President.
About ten years ago, Capt. Potter
commenced railroading as station
agent at Abba. His services there
were rendered in such an efficient
manner that the attention of the COM
pany was at once drawn to him, and
it wasn't long before he was appoint
ed to the position of fuel agent. lie
infused the same energy into the po-
sition that he had put into the Abba
agency, and climbed up from one
place to another until he was given q
division to superintend at Creston
Here his administration was go ad.
mirable that the company called him
up higher and he was transferred te
Burlington and give the most impor.
tant division on the road, which ha.
been handled with such signal ability
that this last and best appointment j,
the result.
Throughout all of his successful
career, the man has not changed ,
whit. He is the same modest ap
proachable gentleman that he wal
when acting as station agent, and W,
venture the assertion that no railroad
officer in the United States is regard
ed with more respect and esteem b,
his employees than is Mr.. Potter.
We congratulate him on his we'll
earned promotion as also will tn
thousands of friends he has in thi
city, and along the entire line of tn
road.
