Correspondence ofthe Democratic Advocated
Mr. PLEASANT, Iowa, Feb. 20, 1885.
MEssRs. EDIToRs: If you have spare room
in your columns, say to my friends that my
general health is good, and | am taking in as
much of the hospitality of my friends here as
/ am capable of under the circumstances. |
am at what call my home, but it is not the
home that once it was such is the result of
unavoidable circumstances, but, as there is
only one of me, | shall endeavor to make the
best can of it. l often think of the pleasant
visit / had among you folks in my Mary
land, and sometimes wish | had spent this
winter with you; but causes seemed to forbid.
We have been having an unusual amount of
snow all through this part of the country this
winter Chicago being about the centre, and
extending some 200 miles or more in every
direction, forming large drifts and great
many railroad blockades, which have been
great damage to all parties interested. Mails
and shipping business have been very irregu-
lar for several weeks, causing considerable
loss to those who are most interested; it is
even very annoying and inconvenient to an
old tramp like myself. l want to be getting
around more and faster than | have been able
to do. 1t is very seldom we ever have such a
winter as this has been since Christmas
guess will say neyer-but at the same time
hear of no serious suffering among the people
or stock in this section of country. The in
habitants are mostly well provided with build
ings and an abundance of grain and food, and
stock takes it up clean and looks extra well,
and the general health is good.
Crops last season were extra good-wheat
rs, corn 80, potatoes 40, fat hogs 81 to 81. %
gross, fat cattle 81 to $50; goods of all kinds
cheap. So you see we have fair sailing in
cool breeze-that breeze is what hurts, and
the end is not yet. According to Moore's
Natural Philosophy, it cannot get warmer
until this big snow goes off, and the snow can
not go off until it gets warmer. | am tired of
being snow bound. / want to be dashing
around, seeking whom | may make some
money off of, but have to submit to the powers
that be-
We have prohibitory law in this state and
it is strictly adhered to by those that never
indulge, but it works great hardship to the
express companies, as they cannot keep up
with the demand on the jug train.
Letters from my friends in Central Ohio
report a severe winter there. 1t has not been
as hard in the extreme West as some previous
winters were.
Now is a good time for Eastern men to in
vest in good farms here at very reasonable
rates, as a great many of our farmers want to
retire Buy government mortgages, or bonds,
as they are called, and live on the interest.

The New Regime.

Next Wednesday is the 4th of March.
Then, presto, change The old regime
goes out, the new comes in. A new era
dawns upon the country, the era of honesty,
economy, and Democratic simplicity. The
aping Of foreign style and the extravagant
manner of living, which have sprung up in
the federal city, will in great measure
cease. The example of the President and
of the discreet cabinet ministers whom he
will call around him, cannot fail Of having
its effect upon Washington society gener-
ally. The days of vain show, of tinsel and
shoddy are past. A regime of sobriety,
discretion, aud nationality, will supercede
them altogether. The tone of society will
be softened, elevated and refined. Respect
for the government and those who direct it,
will be largely increased, at home and
abroad. The influence of Mr.. Clevelands
administration will be felt, politically, So
cially and morally. The government will
be lifted up to its former level from the
ruts and grooves in which it has been run
so long, and the abandon which has dis
the capital for the past twenty
four years, viii be thing of the past.
What source of rejoicing and congratu-
lation for the country at large.

A WOMAN WITH BRITTLE BoSEs.-A curious

A WOMAN WITH BRITTLE Bones. A curious
case which is puzzling Chicago physicians
was reported to the Chicago Medical Society
on Monday evening. The patient is young
woman whose bones are SO brittle that they
break at the slightest jar. She has been un-
der treatment for sixteen years, having been
afflicted ever since her birth. Over 10 frac
lures have occurred during her life. She
weighs about forty-fve pounds. Merely step
ping from the sofa to the floor or stumbling
on the carpet is sufficient to cause the break
ing of bone These fractures heal slowly.
Her doctor has had splints bound about one
of her limbs for two years at time. The
doctors think that her bones consist princi-
pally of hollow shells. The broken bones
have knit together in uncouth shapes and she
is badly deformed. Her muscles are well
developed, with the exception of those which
have been atrophied through disuse.
