state encampment of the G. A. r., w.
r. c., and S. of V. orders at Cedar Ra-
pids last week Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday. The encampment was
one of the largest ever held in the
state, over 5000 delegates being in at
tendance. All of the orders are in u
fiourishing condition, and the reports
given were very flattering.
Capt. f.. L. Weiser was enthusiastic
cally elected Junior Vice Commander
of the Division of Iowa, and DIR. HI. H.
Green delegate from this district to the
national convention, to be held at st.
Paul in Septem ber. Judge Given was
elected Division Commander.
The parade on Tuesday afternoon
was a very elaborate affair, being
several blocks i'm length, and was re-
viewed by Gov. Drake and staff to-
gether with number of distinguished
men from this and neighboring states.
The place for the next encampment
was warmly contested for, but was
given to Marshalltown, by a good
vote.

THE AMERICAN COW.

With pleasure we present to our
readers this week the telegraphic re-
port in the Chicago Inter Ocean of
April 9th, Of a part of a speech de-
livered by Congressman Dolliver in
support of bill to tax "billed cheese" "
wherein he pays his respect to the
American cow. 1t is full of quiet
humor and replete with sound logic
/ say, give the American COW a fair
chance. She has been the faithful SER
want of man. She landed with our an
cestors at Plymouth Rock Qaughter),
and, tied behind the old, weather.
beaten emigrant wagon, she has
marched, with the household goods of
the pioneers who have taken possession
of this continent, from ocean to ocean.
(Applause.) She has increased and
multiplied and replenished the earth
until to-day theindustries she has made
possible contribute annually to the
wealth of the world more money than
the great combinations of modern capi-
tal!-mOre than iron and steel; more
than lumber and coal; more than cot
ton and wheat; more than all the
looms of New England; more than all
the mysterious riches of gold and sill
yer. Yet there are men in this House
whom have heard to-day sncering at
this bill who spend most of their time
trying to get protection for some in
significant local enterprise or "talking
through their hats" in the silver de-
bate. (Laughter.) / say, give the
American COW a fair chance! For N.Y.
self, / am i'm tavor of her monopoly-a
monopoly that God gave her-in the
production of butter and cheese.
(Laughter) And if every man in this
House who in the days of his bOyhoOd
got up at daylight to feed the cows and
stayed up after dark i'm order to milk
them; if every man who has churned
actual cream with reliable upright
churn and has watched with aboy's en-
thusiasm the Old-fashiOned process of
making cheese in the days Of its honor
and repute, will stand by this bill we
will drive from the American barn yard
the horde of counterfeiters and cheats
at common law and keep them out
"till the cows come home" (Long
continued applause.)
Commenting, the editor of the Inter
Ocean says: "Iowa may well be proud
of the eloquence of Cousins and Dol
liver, both of whom are specially de-
serving of the appellation, young
men eloquent" We might truthfully
add to the foregoing that Iowa has
many brilliant ''young men eloquent
who will be heard from at no distant
day.

Hair and Ears.

Midway in the seventies, when Bulow
conducted in Glasgow, the local mu-
sicians and friends of the art gave him
grand banquet. Toward the end of the
evening, when everybody was in high
spirits, Bulow arose and in the coolest
possible manner administered the fol-
lowing damper: "Gentlemen, 1 have
the greatest admiration for your concerts
and all your musical conductors. only
regret to say that they resemble too
much the omnibus conductors. You ask
why? Because they are always behind
omnibus conductors behind on the We
hicle, musical conductors behind in
time" Nor did he spare even his friends
when he was in the sarcastic mood.
On certain occasion he was conduct
ing concert in Hamburg, and one Of
the pieces to be performed was Rubin
stein IS ocean Symphony. What did he
do? He shifted at the score, turned it
upside down on the desk, and then,
throwing it aside, said, "To conduct
music like this, one must have long
hair; I have not got it. - This story, by
the way, was told to Rubinstein shortly
after, and he at once wrote to Bulcw.
81 wrote him." he says, "that his opin-
ions were never the same two days run
ming, and, inasmuch as that which he
abused today he praised tomorrow there
was still hope for my poor music. Also,
if he had taken the trouble TO measure
my hair, regretted not having had
leisure to measure his ears. Cham.

HER FIRST PATIENT.
A Beautiful Incident In the Childhood or
Florence Nightingale.


Florence Nightingale.
There is beautiful incident related
of Florence Nightingale, when she was
child. II shows that God had already
planted within her the germ which was
to develop SO beautifully in after days.
Her first wounded patient was Scotch
shepherd dog Some boys had hurt and
apparently broken its leg by throwing
stones, and it had been decided to hang
1t to put it out of its misery.
The little girl went fearlessly up to
where he lay, saying, in soft, caressing
tone, Poor Cap, poor Cap" 1t was
enough. He looked up with his speak
ing brown eyes, now bloodshot and full
of pain, into her face, and did not re-
sent it when, kneeling down beside
him, she stroked with heI title IN
gloved hand the large, intelligent head.
To the vicar, he was rather less
amenable, hut by dint of coaxing he at
last allowed him to touch and examine
the wounded leg, Florence persuasively
telling him that it was "all right. In
deed, she was on the floor beside him,
with his head Oh her lap, keeping up
continuous murmur, much as mother
does over n sick child. well, said the
vicar, rising from his examination, "as
far as I can tell, there are no bones bro
ken; the leg is badly bruised. 1t ought
to be fomcntod to take the inflammation
and swelling down. "How do you
foment?' asked Florence. with hot
cloths dipped in boiling water" an
swered the vicar. "Then that's quite
easy. I'll stay and do it. Now, Jimmy,
get sticks and make the kettle boil"
= There was no hesitation in the child's
manner. She was told what ought to be
done, and she set about doing 1t as q
simple matter of course. but they will
be expecting you at home, said the
vicar. "Not if You tell them I'm here,
answered Florence, "and my sister and
one of the maids can come and take me
home in time for tea, and, " she hesitat-
ed, "they bad better bring some old fan
mel and cloths; there does not seem to
be much hcrc. But you will wait and
show me low to foment, won't you?"
"Well, yes" said the vicar, carried
away by the quick energy Of the little
girl And scor the fire was lit and the
water boiling. An old smock frock Of
the shepherds had been discovered in a
corner, which Florence had deliberately
torn in pieces, and to the wears remark,
"What will Roger say?" she answered,
"We'll get him another" And so Flor
ence Nightingale made her first COM
press and spent all that bright spring
day in nursing her first patient-the
shepherds dcg.-Eyerywhere.

the suffering you have a1leviated, ana
all the schools you have established,
and all the fine things you have ever
done. Up in that tower you feel you are
safe. But hear you not the tramp Of your
unpardoned sins all around the towerf
They each have match. You are kin
ding the combustible material. You
feel the heat and the suffocation. Oh,
may you leap in time, the gospel de-
claring, "By the deeds of the law shall
no flesh living be justified.
"Well," you say, II have been driven
out Of that tower. Where shall I go?"
Step into this tower of Indifference.
You say, eff this tower is attacked. it
will be a great while before it is taken.
You feel at ease. But there is an Abim-
elech with ruthless assault coming
on. Death and his forces are gathering
around, and they demand that you sur
render everything, and they olamor for
your overthrow, and they throw their
skeleton arms in the window, and with
their iron fists they beat against the
door, and while you are trying to keep
them out you see the torches of judg-
ment kindling, and every forest is a
torch and every mountain torch and
every sea torch, and while the Alps
and Pyrenees and Himalayas turn into a
live coal, blown redder and redder by
the whirlwind breath of q God omnipo-
tent, what will become of your refuge
of lies?
But" says some one, "you are en-
gagged in very mean business, driving
us from tower to tower. !" Oh, no. l
want to tell you Of Gibraltar that
never has been and never will be taken,
of wall that no satanic assault can
scale, of bulwark that the judgment
earthquakes cannot bulge. The Bible
refers to it when it says, Gin God is thy
refuge, and underneath thee are the
everlasting arms Oh. fling yourself
into it. Tread down unceremoniously
everything that intercepts you. Wedge
your way there There are enough
hounds of death and peril after you to
make you hurry. Many man has per-
ished just outside the tower with his
foot on the step. with his hand on the
latch. Oh, get inside. Not one surplus
second have you to spare. Quick Quickl

The Drawing Power of Rome.

The drawing power Of Rome itself is
proverbial among travellers, taking form
in the belief that whoever drinks Of the
water of Trevi by moonlight aud throws
coin into the fountain will some day
come back. The name Trevi is some
times derived from "trivium, " cross
roads," and all crossroads belonged to
Hecate, goddess of enchantment, so that
the superstition probably lad its far
away origin in spell of bygone days.
But it is'neither the moonlight, nor the
water, nor the Offering of the obolus to
the internal gods, whereby the wander
er is sooner or later brought again to
Rome. Tho center seeking force which
once drew all the world to Rome's feet
is not yet quite spent. In Rienzi's day
there were not $1,000 souls, all told,
within the city. Things have changed
again since that time, and there has
probably never been time when so
many people of all nations have been at
,east once in their lives within Rome's
walls. Marion Crawford in Century.
