Patienccis not one of the virtues of Hon
Pohn P. Irish of Iowa City. Here is what
he says of the Presidents message,


The reading of Hayes's message is a
trial to the patience. For man who
holds stolen Office by frauds on free sutf-
rage that stun and astonish the country by
their magnitude, to pirate and preach
against the south because it did not elect
some more republican thieves like himself,
is trife too much.


On the other hand. granting that he
was honestly elected by the vote of Louisi-
ana bis first official act was to organize a
commission to unseat Packard, who had
more than thousand votes in excess of
his own. So if Hayes claim his Office by
right and by virtue of being honestly elect
ed, in unseating Packard he has been
guilty of greater outrage upon suffrage
and upon the very negro voters over whom
he slobbers, than he lyinglv lays at the doors
of the southern democrats, even if every
word the sniveling fraud says we're true


Let his admirers take either horn of
the dilemma and he is from any point of
view disgraceful fraud.

Mr.. Hastings thought that the matter would more

Mr. Pickles was decidedly in favor of immediate
action. The practices complained of were in viola

should be stopped. The laymen were as Jealous in
this matter as the clergyman.


Rev W. f. England said that the Bright House had,

Mr.. Pickles said that the charter of the association

the association, and any violation of those rules
would be violation of law, and it could be stopped.
The resolution was passed.

Turn, turn my wheel! Turn round and round,
Without pause, without a sound;


So spins the flying world away!
This clay well mixed with mari and sand,
Follows the motion of my hand;
For some must follow and some command.


Though all are made of clay
Turn, turn, my wheel! All things must change
To something new, to something strange;


Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wanc,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain.
The rain and mist to cloud again,


Tomorrow be to-day.
Turn, turn, my wheel! All life is brief,
What now is bud will soon be leaf


What now is leaf will soon decay;
The winds blow east, the wind blows west;
The blue eggs in the robins nest
Will soon have wings and beak and breast,


And lutter and fly away.
Turn, turn my wheel This earthen jar
\ touch can make, touch can mar,


And shall it to the potter say,
What makest thou? Thou hast no hand.
As men VINO think TO understand,
world by their Creator planned,


Who wiser is than they.
Turn. turn, my wheel! 'Tis Natures plan
The child shall grow into the man,


The man grow wrinkled, old and gray;
In youth the heart eXults and sings,
The pulses leap, the feet have wings;
In age the cricket chirps. and brings


The harvest home of day,
Turn, turn, my wheel! The human race,
OF fevery tongue, of every place,


Caucasian, Coptic or Malay,
All that inhabit this great earth,
Whatever be their rank or worth,
Are kindred and allied by birth,
And made of the same clay.
Turn, turn, my wheel What is begun
At daybreak must at dark be done,
Tomorrow will be another day;
Tomorrow the hot furnace fame
Will search the heart and try the frame,
And stamp with honor or with shame
| These vessels made of clay.


Stop, stop, my wheel! Too soon, too soon,
The noon will be the afternoon,


Too soon to-day be yesterday;


Behind us in our path we cast


The broken potsherds of the Past,


And all are ground to dust at last,


And trodden into clay!

The New York Board of Health has pub
lished the following rules for the care of
children during the hot season.


NURSING OF INFANTS.


Overlooking does more harm than any
thing else; nurse an infant month or two
old every two or three hours.


Nurse an infant of six months and over,
five times in twenty-four hours, and no
more.


If an infant is thirsty, give it pure water
or barley water, no sugar.


On the hottest days few drops of whisky
may be added to either water or food; the
whisky not to exceed tea.spoonful in
twenty-four hours.


FEEDING OF INFANTS.


Boil teaspoonful of powdered barley
(ground in coffee grinder) and a gill of
water, with a little salt, for Is minutes,
strain, then mix it with half as much
boiled milk, and lump of white sugar,
size of a walnut, and give it lukewarm,
from a nursing bottle. Keep bottle and
mouthpiece in bowl of water when not
in use, to which little soda may be added.
For infants five or six months old, give
half barley water and half boiled milk,
with salt and lump of sugar


For older infants, give more milk than
barley water.


For infants very costve, give oatmeal
instead of barley. Cook and strain a.
before.


When your breast milk is only hal
enough, change off between breast mill
and this prepared food.


In hot weather, if blue litmus paper, ap
piled to the food, turns red, the food is to-
acid, and you must make a fresh mess, o
add a small pinch of baking soda.
Infants of six months may have beef tie
or beef soup once day, by itself, or mike
with other food and when 10 or II month
: old, crust of bread and piece of rar
beef to suck.


No child under two years ought to eat q
your table.


Give no candies, in fact, nothing that
not contained in these rules, without
, doctors orders

We notice by the Sentinel that q press and material for new paper have arrived al Yuma. This must be an absurd movement on the part of some semi-lunatic. Yuma has one live, able paper to which it extends q very weak support. The necessity for a new paper and how it expects To live are conundrums with us.

 The new paper about to be started in Tucson is much needed. The pub. lie good demands an organ tha win fairly represent the true interests of the people and the rapid developments Of that section. Of course the Dos Republieas is now published ai Tue son, bCi large majority of the people who are interested in that section d. not read Spanish. hence the necessih Of an English paper under just anu able management.

leaders are very reticent about their plans,
but make DO secret of the aim and object to
their movement. A fund has been publicly
collected during the past two years, they
sdd, for the purpose of furtheripg active
operations against England, the receipts for
which are publicly acknowledged every
week, and which now amounts to over
s67 900. The average weekly receipts are
increasing largely, being now over three
times as large as those of last ysar, and the
trustees claim that this is only the begin
ming of q general movement among the
Irish people in the United States.

soon as the grain has grown to the height
of about two inches, the tree is brought,
taking pains not to bruise or cut the roots
in digging In placing in position the roots
should be Strengthened out in the mat of
green grain and covered with soil, filling
to the top of the ground and tramping it,


Stakes are driven into the ground six or
eight feet apart, to which are fastened guy
ropes that will completely brace the tree so
that the winds cannot move it," If trees are
notsswell braced the wind will move them so
that the roots cannot take hold and will
soon dry up. The green grain around the
roots soon withers and decays, but in pass
ing through the stages of decomposition it
gives noulishment to the roots and causes
them to thrive and grow. The best season
for transplanting mountain pineis when the
sap is up and the leaves and roots are just
beginning to grow-between the 10th and
25th of June. If it is not convenient to sow
grain for root beds, green tender weeds may
be pulled and placed around the roots; they
are represented to have the same effect as
the Grain. WILL.

Two colored women came before one
of our ministerial Justices yesterday for
the adjudication of somewhat peculiar
case. 1t appears that one of the wom-
en- gave out black calico basque to the
other to have made. The mantua-
maker kept the basque for about three
weeks, and No. l went to her and de-
manded the return of her property. The
mantua maker refused to give it up, and
a tussle for possession ensued, the re-
suit of which was the separation of the
garment, the owner getting the body
and the mantua-maker retaining the
sleeves. The suit, therefore, was for
the recovery of the value of the sleeves,
and the Justice put the parties on proof
as to the value thereof. The value was
finally fixed at 10 cents, and the Justice,
rather than 60 through the necessary
litigation to settle the matter according
to law, determined to settle it by mix
ture Of equity and charity, which was
both novel and satisfactory. He put his
hand in his pocket, pulled out a 10-cent
piece, and handed it to the plaintiff, tell
ing her to purchase another pair of
sleeves and change her mantua-maker.
All parties were satisfied, even the
Justice himself, who said he would
rather 90 without his lunch than discuss
the mysteries of female fnery.--CharleS-

The article published last week on the treatment of prisoners in our jail gave great offense to some of our county of ficials. While it may be admitted that the serious evil really exists, yet the of- ficers claim that the cause is not with them nor do they possess the means of remedy. Thejail is a mere adobe shanty and wholly insecure. Should prisoner escape the officers are held accountable and no censure is too severe for the pub- lie voice, hence to prevent escape the shackles are used. The present place of confinement is provided by the county and its officers must use 1t.

 These statements are no doubt fair and true, but do not alter the fact that our present jail is no fit place to confine hu- man beings, and if our thrusts at the of ficers last week were too severe or unjust we are quite willing to divert the shafts of lcensure from those officials and turn them upon the Board of Supervisors or the grand jury, or whoever is, or should be the responsible parties. Our jail is simply pen, without window, only ventilated at the top and in which the miIdest of fender Is chained with the most depraved felon, and the well known insecurity of the pen is the proffered excuse for the indiscriminate use Of shackles.

 The county is building a new Court house, which Is of course much needed, but a greater necessity is a new jail with several secure and well ventilated apart ments, cells where desperate williams can be chained, and more comfortable rooms where those convicted of mild offences can receive a punishment corresponding ly tempered.

 We write without malice. Our county officials have always been friendly and courteous, but this matter we have con sidered a public evil, hence we have spoken in direct terms and if what we have written may lead to the construct ton of a better jail we shall never regret our course.

Df. Chopin leaves tOr NlcnmOn0
this afternoon to attend tho meeting OF
the Governmental Yellow Fever Com
mission. In anticipation Of his depart
ure, and with a desire to gratify the
public as to the mission Of the distin-
guished president OF our Board OF
Health, q reporter of the Democrat
waited on DIR. Chopin yesterday and
interviewed him on the subject, an in
terview which was gracefully accorded,
and which, although short, was of
interest, since It contains facts Of the
most important character, and not
mere inferences or vague s0perstttions,
but, on the contrary, the positive ex-
preston Of one who has devoted his
valuable time and we'll known talents
for many years to the investigation of
yellow fever here and elsewhere. The
beginning Of the interview was desul-
tory and treated of the general features
of the task assumed by the gentlemen
composing the commission, during
which DIR. Chopin said that he was
going to Richmond at the particular
Invitation Of the commission.


The question was now addressed to
the Doctor, what would be his partici-
patton In the convention.


He answered that 1t would embrace
a statement of his study and investiga-
tion of yellow fever at all periods from
its first appearance In Boston, over 200
years ago, to the present day, and that
he would lay particular stress on his
personal observations and experience
facts besides connected with the cpl
demic of 1873, going to show that
yellow fever was foreign importation,
and that he would offer abundant
proof that this year the fever was Inn
ported by the steamship Emily b.
Souder, as would be shown by the
the three great foci of the fever dur
ing the epidemic.


DR.. Chopin added that he would
advocate before the convention an alb
solute non-intercourse during the sum-
mer with the West Indies and other
ports where the yellow fever prevails,
procuring, at the same time, data OF
the loss OF trade that would result
from such a quarantine, and as we'll rs

In consequence of yellow fever, and
