It is charged upon apparently
good authority, and thus far has not
been denied, that Judge Reed, the
nominee OF the republican party for
the supreme court, refused naturaii-
cation to Il German at Council Bluffs
on the ground that he could not read
English. The charge is supported
by IL string of.af.idayits from appar-
emily truthful, representative men
which, Perhaps, is the reason there
is no denial. II true it is Il species
OF political bisotry which ought t,
disgualify him for any office.

CasliD. The complaint relates the circumstances
attending the purchase of one hundred acres

ment was entered into providing that If the
State should be compelled to foreclOse aud obtain
a decree of foreclosure upon the sixty-fve acres,
she should have the right to purchase
the hundred acres at any
sale, and the State would be satisfied with the
siXty-fve acre tract In payment for the balance
due on the original purchase. She further says
that she has paid $4,000 purchase-money, has
paid all taxes, and otherwise greatly improved
the property to the amount of $1,000, She
found only twenty-five acres cleared, and now
there are eghty-fve acres of improved ground

In going to the other station had a me watey view of the suburbs of Hollands capital. We contin-
 uaily crossed bridges and instead of streets got giimpses of long, straight canals with houses bordering them, and the lamps shining in the water through the steadily falling rain. Each canal seemed to have a sidewalk along each bank and the street lamps were for the purpose Of preventing the inhabitants from tumbling in. We passed great stretches oi b .ack water that could only be distinguised as water by the quivesing reflections of red, blue and white lamps that belonged to the shipping, whose black masss and cordage could be dinly distinguished against the dark sky.
