We Haye Grown, You See.


Our citizens, ever ready. to appreciate
and encourage every worthy object, have
generously extended to us an advertising d
patronage for the DAILY NospARgIL, sur
passing in Hberality our most sanguine
expectations. Instead of being com.
pelled to fill up thres-fourths ofIapace
with non paying matter--as has hereto
fore been the rule with daily papers this
far west every available inch of our
space is now occupied with ''liye ads, i"
and scarcely day passes bat the adyer-
tisement of some good -natured customer
is crowded out" for want Of room and
still they come" In order to give our
old customers their moneys worth, and
to make room for new ones continually
coming in, the enlargement of the DAILY
NoSPAREIL has become military neees-
sity." From and after to-day we
shall issue daily from this office, six
column paper-the size OF our present
weekly. This will give us the benefit of
four whole columns in gidth, while the
space gained in length will be equal to
about three columns. We will thus be
enabled to give full space to our old Gus
toners, and have room left for the &C.
commodation of new ones.


We extend onr thanks to the business
men ofCouncn Bluffs for the very liberal
patronage they have given us, and hope
to ever merit continuance of the same.
1t is we'll established faet.that the true
index to the business of town is its
newspapers; and with this fact in view
we desire and believe our citizens desire
that Council Bluffs shouldbe able to boast
of the largest and best daily paper in the
upper Missouri Valley. The NoxPAREiL
is already acknowledged the best daily pa
per in the upper country" and we in
tend, now, to make it the largest. If our
people desire that our town should be
favorably known abroad let them eircu-
late "the documents" No better adver:
tisement of Council Bluffs can be given
to the outside world than the DAILY
NoNPARErt- every citizen interested in
prosperity of the town should subscribe
for at least one copy, to be sent abroad,
for the purpose of letting strangers know
that Csuncil Bluffs is not beyond the
pales of civilization. We distribute quite
a number. OF copies in this way, at our
own expense but cannot afford to send
all that should be sent. Every man in
the city is as much interested in its pros
pcrity as we are, and we believe it is as
much yonr duty as ours, to advertise the
town. We will do our share, will you
help ?-Daiy, 29th.

Every man KILLED IN this war makes a

That every Union soldier who Is snatchcd up

same is true Of those who perish in the vain

are led to these reflections by reading the
following touching scrap of family history re-
corded in the Richmond Enquirer:

AT the Capital, in these days, man
who does not want an Office, or hasn't got
one already, is rdra aris, and in view of
this fact, think the following circum-
stance worthy of photographic mention:
A gentleman who had been in the en-
ploy of the Government for some time III
a capacity in which he was no longer
needed, called upon Secretary Stanton
few days ago to settle his account aud
strike his balance with the Government.
The Secretary was so well pleased with
the manner in which he had performed
his labor, that he rendered him another
position equally as pleasant and profitable
as the first, but Mr.. -, declined, stating
that he did not want Office any longer, and
would not accept any position under the
Government at present. "Well." said
Mr.. Stanton, "thats strange; l must
make note of that. Here is man who
don't want office" The matter soon got
noised abroad in the War Department
and occasioned great surprise on the part
of everybody that heard it."

M1GN1oNETTE TREE.-Take vigorous
plant of mignionette sown in April, and
place it in flower pot by itself As
soon as the blossom buds appear they
must be carefully picked off, and in
autumn, all the lower side-shoots should
be removed, cut off so as to shape the
plant into q miniature tree. 1t should
then be transplanted into a larger pot,
with fresh soil, formed of turfy loan,
broken up very fine, and mixed with sand.
When this is done, remove the little tree
into q greenhouse, or warm room, and
water it regularly every day. 1t will thus
be kept in a growing state during the
whole of the winter. and its stem will be-
gin to appear woody in the spring. Treat
it in the same manner in the following
year, for mignionette trees are not made
in day. Carefully keep cutting off the
side branches as soon as they appear,
leaving only~Ihose that are to form the
head of the tree, and by the third spring ii
will have bark on It's tree, and become O

The Philosophy OF TRAISISG.-It is
of paramount importance that we should
bear in mind what are the whole results Of
training. That in one special direction
great vigor is achieved, is true : and we,
admiring this result, are too apt to gener-
alize from it, and infer that in all directions
the success has been equal. But it is not
so. The muscular system has been forced
into undue development, and this deyel-
opment has been at the expense of the
general vitality. All forcing is injurious
except for the special object which is
sought. The fighter has his muscular sys-
TEN in splendid condition; but his other
systems are robbed to enrich that one !;
Just as the nervous system of the student
is in state of intense activity at the eX-
pense of the muscles orsglands. Nay
and the fact is worth emphasiS-the pow
erful athlete is less able than the feeble
student to stand the wear and tear of life.
1t was noted at Rome that the athletes
were short-lived, liable, as Sinclair admits,
to rupture of blood vessels, to apopleXy
and lethargic complaints" and it has since
been observed that not only do prize fight
ers rapidly become aged, and very rarely
live long, but even the famous oarsmen of
the Universities show a surprising mortal
ity. 1t has been urged that the athletes
and fighters are carried off by dissipation.
Without claiming for such men any pecu-
liar moderation, we must still claim for
them that they are not more dissolute than
their companions, who ought to succumb
more easily to excesses if the popular no.
tons about strength were accurate. But
the truth is that the strength of prize
fighter is to a great extent an abnormal
condition, produced at the expense of the
general system. The amount of vital en-
ergies which should be distributed among
several organs has been so unequally ap-
portioned that some are starved while
others are overfed. 1t was known of old
that for certain functions the athletes were
almost totally incapacitated. That they
have always been unfit for intellectual and
moral activities is equally notorious. A
man may have inherited powerful brain
with powerful muscular system. The
union is rare, but there is no physiological
reason against it; there is, however, no
possibility of even this mans preserving
his intellectual vigor during course OF
ver-stimulation of his muscles, all excess
in one direction being compensated by a
deficiency in the other. For perfect health
both should be kept active, neither slim
ulated to excess. In the case of training,
where, as we said, the Objects to work up
the muscular system to its highest pitch.
the man may be magnificent to look upon
and formidable to contend against, but he
has been untitled for the work of life, and
is doomed to wither early. The training
system is forcing system were it con-
tinued long it would kill even for brief

REpRopUcr1ov OF THE PoLYPUs.-In
experiments upon the lower animals, such
as the polype, it is most extraordinary
that, although cut up into various pieces,
each particular piece will grow up into the
form of the primitive stock; the head, if
separated, will reproduce the body and
tail and, if you cut off the tail, you will
find that will reproduce the body and all
the members, without in any way deyia-
ting from the plan of the organism from
which these portions have been detached.
And so far does this go, that some exper-
imentalists have carefully examined the
lower orders of aniInals-apong them the
Able Spallanzani. who made number of
experiments on snails and salamanders-
and have found that they might mutilate
them to an incredible extent; that you
might cut off the jaw or the greater part of
the head, or the leg or the tail, and repeat
the experiment several times, perhaps cut
ting off the same members again; and yet
each of these types would be reproduced
according to the primitive type-Nature
making no mistake, never putting on
fresh kind of leg, or head, or tail, but al
