Matrimonial Affairs at Cassville

This week we had two real old fashioned
weddings in town which are rather worth no.
ticing, in as much as some of our young men
were rather outdone in the affair.
On the 18th instant Mr.. John Eisenegger, of
Palo Alto county, Iowa, was married to Miss
Liesette Beilharz, one OF our most amiable
and mplshed young ladies'. A large num-
Der of friends and relatives had gathered at
the home of the brides parents to witness
Liesette being led to the Hymeneal Alta ;
after which the company had huge time
over the feast prepared for the occasion, when
10, up comes the buss and sans ceremony
takes off the young couple for the railroad,
and on toward their home in the West.
The parting of the young bride from pa
rents and friends was not as JOYOUS as simply
going from home to party Scheiden Mut ,ceh,
the party left under the customary "wish you
much joy"
Then up steps Mr., John Beilharz Just from
Yankton, Dakotah, and engages the Esq. tor
to do unto him as he had just been doing to
the happy couple departed, and the Esq good
old soul. consents to make John perfectly
happy on the morrow and accordingly .os
day, May 10th, John Beiharz, from Yankton,
Dakotah, was united in wedlock to Miss
Martha Jane Jordan. That they were made
perfectly happy was evidenced by Johns lib.
erality. Geo. i. brother-in,law of the new
married couple was lacking to infuse little
more life into the crowd attending, but then
we had a good time and we all wish them
mountains of joy. They also have gone fol
their home in the West.

A Thought on Future Re.ribution

Whatever Henry Ward Beecher or any
one else may think or theorize concerning
the doctrine of future retribution, certain it
is that nature is an incorporating believer
in its certainty and justice. Do yourself the
willful injury of violating the conditions of
health, her retributioD is sure and often ap>
parently far exceeding in proportions the sin.
Late hours, irregular meals. overeating, ex-
cesses Of all kinds, are followed by silver
complaint" dyspepsia. and systematic disor>
ders of the brain. In women the same ex-
cesses, augmented by the wearing of tight in
sufficient clothing, the suspension of heavy
skir.s from the hips, ETC., Invariably produce
those diseases and weaknesses peculiar to the
sex. Repeated attacks of cold due to ex-
posure almost inevitably produce catarrh and
sometimes consumption. The liberal party
have one argument in their favor in the fact
that DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines are sure
remedies for these retributive diseases. The
Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets, for the diseases of the stomach
and liver are unexceiled while the Favorite
Prescription enjoys the highest reputation of
female diseases and weaknesses.

A RAW RECRUIT.
An Bx- Alderman Of the Firs, Ward In . New
Role.

Correspondence OF the Dubuque Times
Being in Potosi, the writer had the pleas
ure of attending a meeting of the Red Ribbon
club Of that rural city. The red ribbon is
with the Potosi people what our blue ribbon
is with US, and has undoubtedly done good
service in the way of temperance besides.
the meetings have given entertainment, and
their exhibitions amusement and fun. At the
meeting above referred to, several Dubuauers
were present, and among them the ex Alder,
man, who at home has not been particularly
celebrated for his advocacy of temperance, so
that his fellow townsmen hardly expected he
would respond. But he did He was intro
duced as the eloquent member from the First
Ward, ever ready to help on good cause.
After which the portly form of Mr. J. r.
doomed up in the back part of the hall, hen
the flow of eloquence that rolled from his
lips would make you think a second Father
Mathew had arisen, and the Potosians opened
their eyes in wonder and whispered to each
other, is that the oat buyer, or has Prophe,
arisen in our midst? But the gentlemans'
speech was not all temperance. His known
gallantry led him into the dangerous fie Id OF
sentiment. His periods we're sound and the
imagery beautiful, accompanied as they we're
by loving smiles the effect-well, the less
said about 1t the better for the gentleman at
home, as he is married man
and don't want to get him into trouble.
His speech was grand. and his success as a
temperance lecturer secured. though on this
occasion it was slightly marred BY the village
lawyer. John complimented Mr. K. for bis
eloquent appeals for temperance, but regret,
ted tina, his practice did not quite sustain bis
speech, but be replied that sscking oats, go-
| ing fishing and being away from home cener.
ally was sufficient excuse. Altogether /,
was good meeting, teaching US that all the
! fun is not in Dubuque.

TRADE DOLLAR SPECULATION.

THE BuL TO GIVE BONUS OF $3,000,000 TO THE
OWNERS OF TRADE DOLLARS OPPOSED BY MR.
MoRToN-A LONG DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Whcn the bill for the To
demption of trsdedollars taken up in the House
Yesterday an arrangement was made permitting GER
eral debate for two hours. To the utter amazement
Of the Republicans who had long ago ceased to eX-
meet any f4vors from the Democrats, Mr.. Stephens
announced that he would allow any amendments
offered to be received and voted upon
MIR. Levi L. Morton made the principal speech IN
ornositjon to the bill. He spoke earnestly and
showed that the bill would give bonus OF S3,OOO,'
00O 70 the owners of trade dollars. He took the
position that the Government should stop coming
silver altogether for the present, in order to facll
tote an International understanding about coinage
Mr. Warner, of Ohio, who is never 50 happy as
when talking about financial subjects. made
characteristic speech Ne offered an amendment
tbat fine trade dollars recoined shall not be deemed
a part of the amount per month now author'zed oy
law. Mr.. Mills proposed another amendment thae
,no t,ade dollars shall be exchanged for green
hacks. Both of these gentlemen, and Mr.. Weaver

of Iowa, made speeches "for the relief Of the

of Iowa. made speeches "for the relief Of the
country"
Mr.. Fisher in support Of an amendment to limit
the time in which the exchange can be made to
four months said that if the time were not Limited
the trade dollars now in the country would not
come in, but that those held abroad might be sent
here in large quantities. He stated the fact that
some months ago. in expectation of the passage Oh
this or similar measure, 81, 100000 of trade dol
lars shipped to this country in two vessels
from China. MI Fisher thinks that there are not
more than So, 900, 900 in trade dollars now held at
home.
To-day the discussion branched off MS to include
the Warner bill and pretty much the whole OF the
silver question Mr. Stephens made long speech,
in one part of which he said that if the Warner Dill
should pass. silver bullion would at once rise IN
value.
Mr. Morton called his attention to the fact that
the bullion in a standard silver dollar, which was
worth 90 or % cents when that coin began TO Dc
minted now after the coinage of millions OF dol
lars, worth only "a cents
Mr. Rice, of Massachusetts, asked Mr.. Stephens TO
give the reasons which had induced the German
Government and the Latin Union to discard silver,
but Mr. Stephens declared that lie was unable to do
so. He was informed that Mr. Goschen, in the
British Parliament, had recently given tho remone-
tizaton of silver by the United States as reason
why England would not be obliged to adopt silver.
Mr. Stephens replied that Mir. Goschen is not the
best representative of English thought on that sub
jet.
Mr.. McLane took occasion during n colloquy to
say that in answering Mr.. Morton's question yester
day In regard to reducing the value of the gold dol
lar he had not intended to be understood as advo-
eating any violation of faith with public creditors
Nearly all the members present gathered about
Mr. Stephenss chair and listened attentlvely TO his
speech. He was interrupted frequently with ques-
TONS all Of which he tried to answer orally, while
his amusing Acknowledgement, Mr. Warner, who
stood by prompt him, kept up series of vigorous
replies IN pantOmlme.

necessary 20 define clearly the situation especially rs
IN the debates the British Parliament the question
whether Germany intended 10 modify the law hxiog
upon gold standard had been treated as an open one
Prince Bismarck replied that he did not know the
views Of the Federal Governments, but he himself ala
not think II expedient unnecessarily To commit himself
10 an expression of opinion question OF such mo-
ment He thought the Interpolation had not been well
considered; but, treating the matter from business
point Of yew he could assure the House that neither
the Federal Council the Prussan Ministry had
mooted the question of modification OF the gold law
The suspension OF the silver sales measure OF ex-
pediency adopted pending an Increase OF value Any
lati1n was wholly unwarranted. He had never dis
cussed the question with the Minister OF Finance The
gentleman, from whom Lord Odo Russell, the British
Ambassador, had derived his information that the
