A prominent monopoly paper says
farmers must work more than ten

with East India wheat which is ship

Disreuutable Journals.

In his late speech before the I'M
peachment court at Des Moines.
Hon. John G. Bills made reference
to class OF Republican papers in
Iowa, that was scathing In the ex-
IRENE. His words struck home
with a mighty weight:
Directing his attention for mo-
ment to the powerful influences and
INSCRIPTIONS methods brought to
bear against Brown prior to and
pending the trial by certain class
OF disreputable journals. counsel
said that during the past ten or
twelve years there had grown up
among the Republican press Of
Iowa, an element which could be
appropriately designated 1.-THE de-
partment OF intimidation" The
only reason lie could assign for thus
applying to the Republican press
was because II had held the scepter
OF power SO long that its editors
could not refrain from putting their
shove!s in ut every opportunity and
attempting TO boss the Job, whether
it came under their supervision or
not. Thia department Of intimiia
ton makes it point to train It's
guns upon every man In pablo life
who possesses the integrity to with
stand its Establishments aud ignore
its threats. This department Of
petty tyran,s have the keen dis
cernment to know their men. When
ever 1t finds coward it Whips him
in, uses him for its selfish purposes
OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT. after which it
squeezes him dry rs sponge and
tosses him contemporary aside, first
despised for his poltroonry aud soon
forgotten in the deserved oblivion
which their acts consign them to.
This bureau Of intimidation, made
up OF small men, will continue TO
exist in Iowa 80 long as cringing
towards and fdwning sycophants
ahjectly crawl to the throne OF des-
potism and lick the hand that smltes
them. Abuse 81 II man by this gang
OF political! buccaneers Is an excel
lent evidence that he cannot be used
by the public In the light Of GER
tifficate Of good character.
Continuing in this strain, counsel
said this syndicate Of seheming pol
;t;cians had directed their shafts to
90 many public men IN Iowa and
either si.a.eeiel in running them
politically or Leading them enthrail-
ed In the chains Of II mo,r Calling

Statistics prove positively that
the treasury lock ups and resulting

caused the consumption OF wheat in
the United States TO fall off as least
one hundred million bushels from

they actually needed. This has re-

Beauty on Horseback.

From the New York Mail and Express.
There is O. craze for equestrianism
just now among fashionable people.
The quiet bride paths ofCentral Park
are alive as early in the morning as Z
| o'clock with horseback riders OF every
age and both sexes. Nothing like it
has hitherto existed in this country.
1t is not the recurrence OF a craze; 1t is
/ the birth of one which society is o
experiencing, and in consequence its
symptoms are particularly virulent.
1t is not many years ago since a man
or woman OF horseback, ridingon the
avenue, or even in Central Park. was
an object of curiosity, not only to the
small boy, but to his more sedate and
phlegmatic elders. The visitors OF our
principal pleasure grounds who rode
in a tifty-centh hack over the regulation
route, craned their necks to catch
glimpses of the equcstrians and eques-
%triennes through intervening trees, and
ranked such apparitions as part Of
the programme which included those
marvellous and indescribable works of
art which are scattered through the
park: AT present, riding through Cen
trail Park is a very ordinary pastime,
not at all likelyto exciteth attention
or curiosity Of any one familiar with
the upper part ofthe city. Riding par
ties along Fifth avenue are by no
means uncommon, and pretty young
ladies, gracefully robed in habits may
be met at any hour in the day, but
particularly in the morning, along the
streets in the n%eighborhood Of the
Park, After the outward ana visible
signs have been noted, OF course, no
surprise will be felt, when it is learned
that there are q number OF riding
schools up town, all OF them doing q
lively and prosperous business. A
few years ago, there were two schools.
In place OF two there are nowat least
two dozen. And besides these there
are numerous private riding schools.

Speaking Through the Eyes.

Medical and Surgical Reporter.
Prof, Hugo Maguas recently deliver
ed in Berlin a lecture on "The Speech
of the Eyes" First he showed how
various thoughts and emotions may
find their expression through theeyes,
how rage, Joy, sadness, sympathy, all
may be indicated by Il look, and
how a question may be asked or Der e
piled to simply by one scarcely OBJ
servable movement OF the eye. But
the most interesting part OF his
lecture was a point with which many
a physician may not be acquainted,
not from ignorance, but simply be-
cause he has never given the subject
any thought, viz: the fact that all the
various expressions OF which the eye
is capable are not at all made by the
eye itself, i. e., by the eyeball, but
by the movements OF n~eighboring
parts. The eye itselimay be station
airy, not the least motion may be
observed in it, and yet therising ofthe
lids expresses our surprise, hall closing
them together with contraction Of the
brow indicates our d,spleasure, and a
peculiar abrillar-like movement OF the
lids, the ~orhicularis palpebrarum, and
the parts around the lose together
form what we are in the habit of call
ing ga merry twinkle" Many a one
who will read these lines will at once
acknowledge that such is thecase, and
that the facts are as stated, but at the
same time he will acknowledge thathe
had never thought about it, and had
never imagined that as all the mani
fold expressions which we ascribe to
the eye-thc mirror OF the soul-the
eye itself has no share. When u crimi,
