There is no foolishness about some of the fathers of Dubuque county, Iowa, who have marriageable daugh ters, and they know bow to precipi tate business when the fruit is ripe. Matters were brought to a climax with a rush at a certain farmer's residence in Ycrnon township, recently. A young tiller of the soil bad for months been paying most assiduous attentions to one of his dmighters, but be was such a bashful, modest chap, never having been much in the company of girls, except this ouc, that he bad nover been able to raise his courage sufficiently high to pop the all-impor taut question. He had gone to the house in which his admirer lived, upon at least twenty different occasions, resolved to know I his fate; but when ushered iuto the i presence of his fair one, into whose keeping he bad placed his heart, his < courage would invariably "go back on him," and ho would return to his lonely room in greater suspense than before. Upon the evening in question ; he had determined that, come what would, he would tell his Mary that he j loved her. He would ODce for all de cide the matter. But, as upon each former occasion, he could get the pro posal no further than bis thront. There it stuck, and he had just deter- 1 mined to gulp it down and give up the siege when tho door opened and in stalked the girl's father, who ad van-1 ced to where they were sitting and ad dressed them: m "I came in (o put a stop to .this in fernal foolishness. It ain't the court ing expenses that I'm looking at, for coal oil's cheap an' wood bau be had for the baultn'; but I'm sick and tired of this billin' and cooin' like a pair of sick doves, keepin' me awake of nights, and it's got. to bp stoped right here. Mary Jane, look up here. Do you love Johu Henry well enough to mar ry him ?" "Why, father, I?I?you must"? "Stop that darn foolishin'," yelled the old man. "Answer 'yes' or 'no,' mighty quick, too. It's got to be set tled now or uever." "Answer'yes*or 'no.' Speak!" roar ed the old gent. "Well, yes, then. There, now," and Mary again hid her face. "That's business ; that's the way to talk. Now, Johu, look here?look up here, or I'll shake you all to pieces. Do you want that gal o'mine for a wife? Speak out like a nin?, now." i "Why. Mr.--, ain't this rath er a?I mean, can't you"? "Speak it out, or out of this bouse you'll go head-forctnost. T won't wait a minute longer. There's the gal, and a likelier gal ain't in the State, and you just heard her say she wanted you. Now, John, I won't stand a bit o' foolin'; once for all, 'yesv or 'no ?" "Well, yes, sir; I have been pre suniptoua enough to hope that I"? "Ob, confound your soft talk; the thing's settled now. You two blasted fools would have beeu six months more at that job that I've done in five minutes. I nevCr saw euoh foolin' as there is among young people now adays. Ain't like it was when I was young?an' so good night. You can talk the thing over, an' you an' me John.Ml go to town au' get the license to-morrow. Soon be time to go to plowin'?no time for lovc-makin' then, flood night, good night; hope I wasn't too rough, but I was determin ed to fix the thing up one way or 'totber;" and the old man went back to bed. Now that the ice was broken, the young people laid all their plans for the future, and John felt just a little bad at the comfort he had lost, when Mary looked up at him shyly, and said : "This would have been all right four months ago, John, if you hadn't been soskeory. I kuow'd all the time that you wanted to ask me; but wasn't my place to say anything, you know." No cards. Once Wore United. The return to the Rcpublicnn ranks of the better class of Liberal Republi ean?, is a gratifying fact. 'It indicates a unity of purpose among intelligent citizens to keep Democracy out of power. In Ohio, Iowa, and Nebraska, former Liberals worked earnestly lor the Republican party. They have good reason, therefore, to share in the thanks due to all good citizens, for the spleudid achievements of October 12th. This return to the party of those who left it in 1872 waste be expected. In that year personal grievances led to a rupture of party relations. The Democrats, taking advantage of this, thought to defeat tho Republican party by accepting a life-lorg Repub lican as their standard bearer. The popular verdict rendered by the people, was not against Mr. Greeley, as an individual, but agaiust the party at hie back. Mr. Greeley might be trusted; the Democracy, despite its promises, could not be. Those Re publicans who voted for Mr. Greeley did so out of respect for hiB long ser vice in the cause of human freedom. Their admiration for the man led them to overlook or disregard the dangerous political elements which would have ueutralized his good inten tions had he been elected. In addi tion to this personal devotion to an old leader, many joined the Liberal ranks, believiug that a new party was to be formed, that would draw from the two great parties their very best material. Thus the Republican party had been created, and it was thought that thus a great Liberal party could be formed. They had no desire to join tlie Democratic party. Between the two,' they preferred the Republi can party, but they wanted something better than either. They failed in their design. The people were not ready to accept a third party; the ma jority bad confidence in the one in power; and the Democrats refused to go out of their organization. So the Liberal movement failed, and the ma jority of those who favored it, have re-united in goo*d faith with the Re publican par;y. What has Ircen done in Ohio, Iowa, and Nebraska, will be done in New York and Pennsylvania. Advices from the last named States, indicate that nearly intelligent Liber al has returned to the Republican ranks. A few designing men have en deavored to transfer them to the Dem ocratic party, but they could not be bought or sold. They have opened their eyes to the fact, that the issue is between the two great parties of the day, and that every voto cast for side issues is half a vote for the Democra tic party. Knowing- this, they will not be parties to placing in power a party that they know to becorrupt and unworthy of public support. These facts all point to a united party in 187?, and through this unity to a brilliant Republican victory. -? .?^j_^> . * . -a.? . ? - A Smuggler's Wooden Leg. Perhaps the most ingenious method of deceiving the Custom House officers that bus come to light lately was the device of a man with a wooden leg. His name was Ernest Bohmnn, and he was'a native of Saxony. He was usually dressed very shabbily, and traveled as a poor emigrant. He was a skillful story teller, and betrayed himself by telling a very humorous story the second time within the bear ing of the same detective, who was on board one of the White Star steamer with him. Tbc climax was brought out in such an inimitable manner in broken English, that the officer readi ly recalled the voice and manner of another one logged emigrant who had come over in a ship of another line on ly two weeks before. Tho fact of a poorly dressed man making two trips to America within so short a period excited bis suspicion. He accordingly reported tho circum stances when the vessel arrived in port, hud unusul "diligenco was used in searching bis baggage and person, and nothing was found until his wooden leg was removed. It was fastened to the natural leg at the knee, and armed with a ferrule at the bottom. When it w*s taken ofTit ,8eemed unusually light, and, on care ful examination was found to be hol low, and to contain about five thous and dollars' worth of laces and pre cious stones. He had been a diamond merchant, but had hecome poor, and subsequently entered the Prussian army in the French war as a non commissioned officer. He lost his leg in battle, and when he recovered he thought of this method of retrieving his fallen fortunes.?Si. Cathcriti i'k Neics. A Bloodless Combat. ; A fairer face than that possessed by Eudocia von Amburg is seldom-seen. Beside being beautiful, she was very wealthy, having inherited the vast possessions of her deceased parents. Since her orphanage, she bad been the ward of Joseph II., Emperor of Ger many. c Of course there were many suitors for her hand; but among them nil wore ouly two upon whom the fair Eudocia looked with any degree of favor.' These two were barons com paratively young, who had served with her father iu the war against the Turks. Thoy were the Baron von Oberndorf, and the Baron von Fro baeh. The emperer, entertaining equal respect for both these suitors knew not how t6 decide between them, and the maiden would not give him the benefit of .her decision. In this dilemma, Joseph told the two barons that they ?stood, upon equal terms in his con fidence and esteem, he could give neither the preference over the other, and they must decide the matter by their own prowess; but as he did not wish- this matter to bo the cause of bloodshed, and perhaps of death, as mi^ht be the case if offensive weapons were used, he had ordered a hirgesaek to be provided, and he who should be successful enough to put his rival into it should have his fair ward for a wife Thesuitor agreed, and this ludicrous combat took place in presence of the imperial court. It lasted almost an hour. At length, Frobach was com pelled to yield, and the triumphant Obcrudotf, having forced him into the sack, took him upon his back, aud laid him at the feet of the emj?eror. Within a week the fair Endncia be came Baroness vou Oberndorf. The BouTnKitN Cultivator.? This old and reliable friend of the farmer pursues the even tenor of its way, striving earnestly and honestly to assist him during these hard and trying times. It advocates progress only when it pays. There is nothing of the fancy or sensational about it. Solid, practical, suggestive, it is just what real workingfarmers need. The! very 1 ?rg? number of inquiries pre scnled by them each month, to be ans wered by the editor or his correspond ents, show plainly their confidence in it.

Every Grange ought to get up a large club. Eight suits have been instituted iu New York against persons who resis ted the census-takers. Of these six were women who rebelled at the in sinuating inquiry. "Are you male or female, and if so, how long?" "It's honriblc to be economical," said a pretty woman to Quiz, with the utmost platitiveuess. "There's no use of living if you can't dress well What is a woman, anyhow, without her clothes?" And Quiz laughed a little, and choked himself, and blushed, and didn't answer. A tramp who attended a fire got around just as a keg of beer was tap ped. Ho grabbed a mug and filled it, unmindful of some ashes, three flies, two shingle-nails and a piece of shav ing soap already in the mug. When he finished his drink none of these articles were visible, aud later in tho day he complained of being bilious. "You're always off at nights, Leander," said Mrs.Spilkins, reproach fully, theother evening. "Yes, my dear," replied Spilkins. "You'll re member even when I first proposed you considered me a pretty good off-er." Little Julia, just five years old, being eautioued by her little brother against eating too much for supper, and being told she would have night mare, wanted to know where the night mare stayed in the daytime. She was one of those sen time ntul young creatures who linger at Lhedoor way to bid you good-by in the star light, anci after she parted from him the other night, she went up to her room murmuring: " . es, I would know it wa<5 bard times, by the kind of hair oil be uses now.
