The lessons of Garfleld's death were ex-
pounded most eloquently in the press, pull
pit aud forum, in multitudinous ways, but
are likely to be soon forgotten by the poll
ticians, if Judgment may be formed from
the sudden revival Of the strife for Office
ut Washington. During Gar6eld's illness
and until his remains were deposited in the
tomb, there was comparative quiet, but
now the craze for Office has returned, and
nothing is now heard from Washington but
the incessant gabble Of the placemen.

A Very Bad Man.

The wife Of Rev. E. s. Bowdish, IN iex- min
lister of Minneapolis, has brought suit tor di-
vorce, in which she alleges that the defendant
has treated her In cruel manner and that In
his martial relations he was beastly beyond all
endurance, and has caused her much physical
and mental suffering through his unrestrained
passions. In the years between 1870 and the
commencement of this action he has repeatedly
struck, kicked and beaten the plaintiff, in6ict-
ing injuries from which she now bears the
scars, simply because she would not yield to
his brutal demands. The acts of cruelty al
legged were committed at Princeton, Elk River,
Anoka and Minneapolis and cover period
when the defendant was engaged in preaching
the, gospel under the appointment Of the N. E.
conference.

Judge Valiant is one OF our most highly re-
spected citizens, and his decision Is endorced
by the entire community. The details OF
the assault by Love on the wife of Lanier are
entirely unfit for publication: 1t appears LIE az
the trial that Love was an unsuccessful suitor,
and prosecuted the lady before her marriage,
and after that event sought the revenge of
blasting her character. In thus discharging the
prisoner, Judge Valiant said: have been a
practicing lawyer for more than twenty years,
this. There is no law to which the defendent
in case like this could appeal. II any one in
position like that occupied by him, suod for
damages, he would simply have been laughed

therefore. discharge the prisoner and bid him
go hence without delay.
The decision was received with shouts OF ap-

Freshets and Damage in Iowa.
The Mississippi has mado sad havoc along
its Iowa shore, both in cities and with farm
property. Dubuque has suffered more than
has been told, and great loss Of property has
surely been ocoasioned. Lumber yards have
been almost entirely destroyed In some In
stances. while many have been badly damaged.
Along the river from Dubuque to Sabula hun
dreds of thousands Of acres Of usually fine
farming lands are under water; and in hay
alone there will be q very great loss In one
marsh fifty hay stack tops we're seen, and there
were probably thousands the same way. They
project about two feet at this writing, but the
entire stack in each instance is entirely de-
stroyed. Corn fields are covered, some OF
them showing only an occasional tip Of stalk,
while in other fields the water is only up to the

the original owners. In fact those who reside

cent in the aperture by which this secretion should
naturally take place" The surgical operation neces-
sary to remedy this difficulty Goethe also sets forth
with his usual satisfactory precision-if one only
cared to know about the arrangement of Herders

poet is mastery AS it is familiar to many readers
ii need not be repeated here.
But this talk of a remarkable book must be
brought to a close. Goethe returned to Frankfort,
taking with him little MANIPULATING boy whom he
had met at Mayence. He says: " In this occurrence
appeared once more that popularity which has cost
me so much in my lifetime-namely, that liked to
see younger people gather round me and attach
themselves to me, by which at last / am encum-
bered with their fate" Goethes mother, knowing
that the somewhat fussy old father would not like
this intrusion upon the neatness and order of the
household sent the musical vagabond to board and
lodge in the neighborhOod. With this agreeable
story we may end although the account of Jeru-
salem. whose suicide produced "Werther," re-
mains. That and the writing of "G0tz Won Berl-
chingen" were not far away; and then began that
serene and lofty life which has won the admira-
