Excerpts.

(SeiecteiD
As the soil, however rich it may he,
cannot be productive without culture,
so the mind, without cultivation, can
never produce good fruit.
Always laugh when you can; it is
a cheap medicine. 1t is tue sunny
side of existence.
No poultice has ever been discov-
cred that draws out mans virtues
as the sod which covers his grave.
Most people are masters of kind
of logic by which they argue their
conscience asleep, and acquit them
selves Of doing wrong.
The darkest day in a mans career
is that wherein he fancies there is
some easier way Of getting dollar
than by squarely earning it.
The character of man is to be in
fered and understood as much from
the society he shuns as from the
companionship he covets,
There are some people that live
without any desighn at all, and pass
through the world like straws on a
river-they do not 60 but are car
ried.
lis a grand mistake to think that
the majority are always in the right.
They were not so in the time of the
Flood; and they've been wrong sew
eral times since.
Make yourself n good man and
then YOU are sure there is one rasc al
less in the world.

. New Orleans and Arkansas.

Van Ruren (Ark) Argus.
We are glad to see that the New
Orleans papers are at last urging
the merchants and business men of
that city to make an effort to secure
a portion of the trade of Arkansas,
nearly all of which now goes to St
Louis. New Orleans is the natural
port of this section, and prior to the
war nearly all the crops OF the State
were shipped to that city by river.
Our railroad connections now bring
New Orleans almost rs close to us as
st. Louis, and if the ordinary induce
ments were thrown out, our trade
would again go to the great metropolis
of the South. The business men of
st. Louis value the trade of Arkansas
very highly, as is evidenced by the
large sums expended in advertising,
and the vast army of drummers sent
among our people, while it is a rare
thing to see an advertisement or Il
drummer from New Orleans house
Arkansas is on the improve, and new
industries are sprin9ing up all over
the State, and our trade, already
large, is rapidly increasing. This
trade naturally belongs to New Or
leans, but St Louis, by her enter
prise and push, has secured the bulk
of it, and if New Orleans wants a
portion of it she must make an effort,
and offer at least as good induce
ments AS does st. Louis.

Serious Mature OF the cs.tle Plague.


In an intorview regarding the spread of
pleure- pneumonia, Hon James Wilson, the
farmer congressman of Iowa says: SIT is a
fact sufficiently startling to the owners of cat
tie and to everybody who deals with cattle
owners. Missouri is directly south of Iowa. No
natural barrier separates us. Diseased cattle
can easily be driven over the line, and exposed
cattle are almost sure to be. The presence Of
great many eyes. Certain wise men assure us
that the disease could not exist in the dry at
mosphere OF the West Still, we now learn
that every animal that was exposed in Illinois
has been killed. It has spread already over
several counties in Missouri, and, if prompt
steps were taken at once to stamp it out, it
would cost very large sum of money to pay
for all that have been exposed Missouri can
not ship east nor west. She can drive into
Iowa and who can tell One drove will pellute
Iowa. The governor has done all for us he
can 1t is high time we did something for
ourselves. If the disease should be discovered
soon in Iowa ana investigation show that
traders have contaminated several counties as
they did in the states that are suffering,
and it is further found that to stamp
out the disease will require a large
sum of money, are we any better prepared for
such an emergency than the other states that
look helplessly on while the disease spreads
Nobody thought much about the COW and her
calf in the last legislatures of our states;
wonder if they will in those that will sit this
winter? tornado going through each county
IN Iowa would be harmless compared to this
plague. A halt will be promptly called to our
prosperity, and heavy, steady losses will come
to all who deal in cattle or with farmers who
breed them. Would it not be well to have
candidates for legislative honors seen on this
subject, and their minds diverted long enough
from prohibition VS.. license so that an i'm.
preston would be made?

Gen. Middleton Wants More Troops.

Winnipeg special:-Lord Melgund arrived in
Winnipeg on the 18th. He is on his way to
Ottawa with important dispatches from Gen
Middleton to the government, which the gen
eral was afraid to transmit by wire tits un-
derstood that Middleton is urging the govern
ment to send up more troops as he regards the
present number at his disposal entirely made
quate to suppress the trouble in view of
the Indian rising. Melgund left after Saturday s
fight, which does not appear to have been SO
favorable to our troops as the first dispatches
indicated, because after an all day hard fight
Middleton had not succeeded in driving
the rebels from their we'll chosen position.
Much comment is being made regarding Mel
gunds return to Ottawa from the West. The
government admits that he has come to con
fer with the governor general respecting rein
forcements. arms and other particulars in put
ting down the rebellion; but the opinion wide
" prevails that Middleton has tempered with
Orders from Ottawa not to follow up and at
tack the rebels, and this is said to have some
thing to do with Melgund's mission French
men are still pushing for making concessions
with the half breeds, and negotiating to bring
about peace

and while the family were asleep in the seosnd

cause. The only WINDOW in that part of
the house overlooked shanty addition
used for a kitchen Luerson and
wife were awakened BY the glare Of tie
fire, and rushed down stairs, Mrs Luerson
carrying her youngest child in her arms, an
other child aged ten years and the aired man
following When Luerson opened the only
door of the house, which led into the shanty,
the smoke and flames burst in, nearly over
powering him, and burning off part of his
hair and beard. The hired man then broke
out window, through which they got out
but not before Mrs. Luerson was severely
burned Luerson made several frantic efforts
to reach the children still asleep up stairs,
but there being no door Or window through
which this could be done except the window
on the side Of the house already in flames, he
was powerless to rescue them The names of
the children burned were Hans, aged seven
