Wilmington is all sin a stew" in
fact "turned topsy turvey" over a
post-office and social scandal. Ernest
b. Pike. postmaster, is charged with
tampering with the mails, and has, it
is alleged, confessed to opening a
letter addressed to H. Mann, Jr.
and also to going to New York with
one of Wilmington's fair married
daughters and registering as Mr.. &
Mrs. c. M. Russell. One Barber.
who is candidate for the post office,
has brought libel suit against C. M.
Russell and wife, alleging that they
charged him with the posting of sour
rious notices connecting Pike and
Mrs. Russell. Altogether it must be
''nuts" for the gossipers and scan
dial for that pleasant town. But the
richest part of it, so far as the gener-
al public is concerned, is the charge,
that is now made, that the post-office
was procured in the first place by
John L. Pike, the father of Ernest.
through fee Of twenty-five dollars
being paid to Hiram Atkins, and that
a further fee was sent when the old
man resigned and the office was given
to Ernest. The Brattleboro Reform
er publishes an affidavit from Rev.
r. d. Metcalf to the effect that Pike
told him, Metcalf, that a fee was
sent to Atkins. This really begins
to look like business, and will con-
firm the belief, held by many that like
means were used, at about the same
lime, in making the post office change
n this place against the unanimous
protest of the Democrats of the town.

FROM IOWA.
WOodbine, Iowa, May 80. 1873

WOodbine, Iowa, May 80. 1885,
Editor Sitter 1t is pleasure to know
SITTER JOHN, that you keep on sitting.
; You must have large amount of materi-
al to work on or ere this it would have
all gone through the wires. By the way
l notice that some of your victims kick
as they are sifted though. Let them
kick, JOHN, and if you tear your sieve to
pieces you may be able to get a new one
from-New Hampshire, from whence
you import your educational energy.
Iowa is in her glory. Her prairies once
covered with flowers and grass, now are
converted into corn fields, in fact Iowa is
one huge corn field and corn is indeed
King here. Farmers are plowing, or cul-
tivating, their corn for the first time. and
there is every prospect of good crop.
Last year 100000 bushels of corn were
shipped from Woodbine, and many car
loads of hogs and fat cattle; in fact the
live stock shipped represents more corn
than was sold. Last year corn sold for
| from 30 to 43 cents, and Iowa produced
27S, 49,, 900 bushels and 24,196, 900 bush
els of wheat, while New Hampshire on
ly raised $4,000 bushels of corn and no
wheat. But then as long as she can raise
and export educational lights she may be
ahead, after all. The soil of Iowa is not
excelled, if cqualed, by any country on
earth. Near this place is 100 acre field
that has been in corn for 80 consecutive
years and without the use of fertilizers,
yet, the last crop, am told, was as good |!
as the first. One man can tend from 40
to 100 acres, 80 being an average.
Iowa will never hold the place in my
heart that the dear old hills of Vermont
do, but, nevertheless, must say that as
a farming state man ought to do better
here in 10 years than in 20 in Vermont.
Here in Woodbine is good opening for
a ajeweler. We have normal school with
three resident teachers and their wives,
all living in their own houses. The eli
mate is health producing and water good.
A person can live as cheaply here as in
the East, but when it comes to dying
that is another matter. Doctors fees are
)ne dollar per mile. fifteen miles fifteen
lollars, and fifteen and twenty milei is no
lncom mon trip. Other professional /,
fees are accordingly. More anon.

Attack Upon Him.

L
Attack Upon Him.
WASHINGTON, May 29sh. The East.
ern press and Eastern public opinion. both
Republican and Democratic seem inclined
to uphold the President in his appointment
of Beverly Tucker as Haytian Commits
sioher. AT first blush the appointment
seemed an unwise one but further investi-
CATION OF fuckers career shows it to have
been largely that of every Secessionist, and
that what is charged of him is without
foundation. The leading Eastern press in
sists that the attack is not so much on
Tucker as aimed at Blaine.
In an interview to-day Tucker insisted
that he was guilty of nothing worse than
acting as agent for the Confederate Govern
ment in Canada, where he was engaged in
exchanging cotton for meat, pound for
pound. In the course of his interview
Tucker says:
4" President Lincoln issued permit. un-
der the Treasury regulations, for W. G.
Ford or this city, to go to Canada to trade
with me- The permit was written by Mr..
Lincoln but four or five months before his
assassination. l had the permit, and
would have it now but that it was left with
my other valuable papers in the Bank OF
Baron, Forbes d Co., in Mexico, during the
last years of Maximilian's reign, and was
left with Marshal Bazaine. When l left |
placed trunk with my papers in the
bank. Emilio Baron the President, died
and never got them again. but Mr.. Ford
is living in New York, believe. Mr.. Lin
coin gave his permit but about four
months before his DEATH Do you think il
likely that l should want him killed? |
came back to this country during Grants
administration and have been here since.
When l went to San Francisco, Secretary
Sherman and Secretary Evarts intrusted to
me important service, and President Gar
field made me one of the Board of Visitors
to the Naval Academy. There was no cry
against me at that time"
1t is understood Secretary Blaine will
stand by the appointment of Tucker.

BROTHERHOOD OF BUTCHERS.
The National Convention Tackles the
Dressed Beef Combine.

The National Convention Tackles the
Dressed Beef Combine.
DETROIT, May 29th.-The controlling
question among the butchers now In the
National Convention in this city is how
to resist the incroachment of the dressed
beef combine.
Thomas Armour, of Chicago, speaks very
plainly against the monopoly. Among
other things, Armour SAYS that the
monopoly is now branching out into small
towns. They compel small retail butchers
to buy Chicago dressed beef. If be does not,
the concern will put in retail branch and
sell meat SO cheap that the poor butcher
would be ruined. One cannot tell some
diseased meat when dressed. If steer has
a lump on the jaw, or if it has pneumonia,
there is no sign of it in dressed carcass.
yet it is unhealthful food.
This convention will take very strong
stand in favor of more legislation.

woRsrED GOODS.
A Decision That Is of Interest to All
Wool-Growers

WASHINGTON. May 29th.-The Secretary
of the Treasury to-day decided that worsted
goods shall pay the same rate of duty as
the manufactures of wool. Under the Act
OF 1888 the Treasury Department decided
that worsted goods should pay lower rate
than woolen goodA and classified them
under rate of about 35 per cent. nd
yalorem. Since that time the manu-
facturers of this country have been max
