THE ELEt'TiOS.
Iho election lust I uosii: \ was oi,i
of the most exciting held in the State
lot years. It was a contest between
he parly that has al\va> s been on
the side oi the people, t licit honor
and welfare; a party standing upon
principles which it believes right, mid
a party that during the whole < ourse
of its insignificant history has ap
pealed to the very worst :nd lowest
qualities of men. The vote polled
was an unusually large one, larger
than usual. The returns from the
State indicate without a doubt the
election of the entire republican tick
et. The entire opposition was pitted
against it but the gallant old party
• ume up to the work well and will
have a majority of j.t least 20,000.
This is a gain of over 1.000 over the
combined opposition of last
year, and Republicans have
reason to rejoice over the re
sult. It i 9 difficult to tell what the
fellings of the opposition are. We
can hardly conceive how the two con
dieting elements can find much con
solution in the result, if the demo
rats are happy over what they
might call success in some localities
they should take to their bosoms the
hecring thought that the greenback
element is a thorn in their flesh which
is bound to fester and worry them so
long as they fail to use heroic treat
ment for the eradication of the dis
ease. The same nny be said of the
greenback parly, fhey have mar
ried a groom that never yet in lowa
could perform the full part of such a
position, and which will always need
>tim ulating to obtain the full strength
and vigor the greenback bride seems
to demand.
BI.A INK’S SPEECH.
Nothing but a full report of Senator
Blaine’s speech could do it justice, hut
the following is a fair synopsis for so
>hort a one. It i* from the Inter Ocean.
Mr. Blaine reviewed at some length
the origin and the history of the leeal
tender notes, showing that they- were
resorted to by the government, not as
a necessity of creating money, but as
the most expeditious and certain
mode oi fecuring a credit in the
absence of money. In oilier words,
the government did not i»ue the
notes for monej-, but issued them be
cause jt did not have the money. As
a paper currency, they had proved
• d inestimable service, even when
far below par in coin,and they would
prove of immeasurably greater ser
vice when they were made absolute
ly equal to coin, and exchangeable
tor it at the will of the holder. The
honor of originating the greenback
for its great and patriotic service be
longs to the Republican party, and
to that party will belong the still
greater honor of makir g every note
as good as the coin itself. That
equality with coin and exchangeabili
ty with it, can be easily maintained
by the government of the United
States simply keeping its pledged
and plighted faith. The people of
this country are a truth-observing,
honor abiding, promise keeping poo
pie, and when they pledged to the
whole world that they would not is
sue more than four hundred million
dollars of legal tender notes, they
meant what they said. They main
tained this pledge when, in the opin
ion of many, there was temptation to
disregard it, and they will surely not
violate it now when there is honor
and benefit in standing by it.
Mr. Blaine then discussed the na
tional banks at some length, declar
ing that the Republican party had
never made the bank system a part
of its political creed, and yet declar
ing that in this country wc had never
before enjoyed a system of banking
that so absolutely protected the bill
holder as the present national banks.
Banks of some kind are a necessity,
where the borrower of money can
meet the lender in a common cx
hange. Let those, therefore, who
my out for the destruction of the
national bank, suggest a better sys
tem to take their place. If a better
one could be found he would cheer
fully support it. But he certainly
lid not wish a revival of the old State
banks, which had for so many years
cursed this country with an always
unreliable, and oftentimes worthless,
paper currency.
Bills are now pending in Congress
to permit State banks to organize
with the power to circulate bills, and
he assured his hearers that the Dem
ocratic cry lor the destruction of the
national hanks had the ghost of the
old State bunks, rising behind it.
Mr. Blaine devoted considerable
time to the taxation of United States
bonds and all the questions connected
therewith; reviewed the state of our
foreign and domestic trade, and
demonstrated bow the country* was
slowly yet surely coming into an era
of solid prosperity, based on the best
ot foundations, and promising the
most enduring existence.
‘ We have,” said Mr. Blaine, in con
clusion, “nearly #700,000/000 of paper
money in circulation, and the entire
volume has already reached a prac
tical equality with coin, the difference
being only the minor lraetion of a
cent on the dollar. No man in this
vast audience—and there are many
here who were the pioneers of your
great State—no man among you all
ever saw paper money in lowa, since
it was first organized as a territory,
tioat as near to the standard of gold
coin as the whole mass of seven bun
dred millions floats to-day. And if
this is not enough to do the business
of the country, you have only to wait
and see silver by tens of millions and
gold by hundreds of millions added
to the daily circulating medium of the
people. And under these circum
stances, with a |>aj»er currency capa
ble of enlargement, through the sys
tem of free banking, as far and as fust
as the demands of the most expan
sive trade may require, we meet a
proposition, from a new political
part}’, to debase our paper currency
and drive gold and silver, first out of
circulation, and then out ol the coun
try, leaving us only to use an irre
deemable paper currency whose value
would depreciate in a ratio threefold
as rapid as its volume increased.
Measures to debase the coin have
been carried in other countries, but,
never without dishonor and disaster,
and it is reserved for this country in
a time of profound peace to discuss
measures looking to the permanent
expulsion of coin from the country,
and thence to the lasting and hope
less debasement of our paper curren
cy and the consequent destruction of
all stability in our busines.*. The
question is one that reaches the
door sill and hearth-stone of every
house and home in the land, and the
discussion must go on until a safe
conclusion is reached, remembering
always that nothing is ever settled
until it is settled.

bliiefhsh in Warren river, Massachusetts,
when a huge fish hawk swooped down
upon his bait and carried it off. Ilotov

bard labor secured the bird.
MINNEAPOLIS AMI SI KliOt NDIVIS.
An lutcreftting Letter From an Oskaloo-
sa Teacher
Kns. Ilr.KAt.D. —Benj. F. Taylor says:
“1 think a fifty mile battering in a stage
coach used to shako people out oi the
shell of their crustacoous proprieties, and
make more life long friends than a voy
age ol live thousand miles by rail.” This
is certainly true, and what is more pleas
aut than a ‘jaunt’’ over the country in an
easy family carnage. Oue week ago we
le ft home thus, to visit friends at Monroe
and Newton and take a view of the Kxpo
sit’.ou at Des Moines. The country be
tween Oskaloosa atul Monroe is quite roll
mg. The farm houses are generally good;
some elegant. The two near Pella be
longing to Messrs. Voorhecs and Smith
being the finest specimens of architecture.
Most of the farmers arc busy plowing.
Several new and very nice school houses
have been built witliiu a few years. From
Monroe to Newton the country is quite
broken until we near the river. The
Skunk river bottom extends farther on
each side of the river here than any place
else that 1 have crossed it. The flat land
is about three miles in extent. There is
a bridge over a portion of this a mile in
length. There are numerous school hous
es scattered along the road, with the nec
essary outbuildings, and almost always a
well of water, which convenience is lack
ing at many of Mahaska’s school houses.
Newton we found to be a neat town not
so large as Oskaloosa, but possessing a
fine old-styled court house, iu the center
of the square, built of brick, with stone
pillars and eqpice.
The school building is of “Milwaukee”
brick, and is a very fine specimen of ar
chitecture. It is nicely arranged and
supplied with every convenience. We no
ticed a waste basket under each teacher’s
table. The arrangement of the cloak
rooms we thought particularly nice. There
is a door on each side of the teacher’s
desk; at dismissal the scholars pass
through the door on the right, procure
their wraps one by one, and back again
into the school room where they put them
ou, then they pass through a door into the
main hall. The halls arc in the center of
the building, giving the rooms the benefit
of the greatest amount of light possible.
Wc wore much pleased with the good feel
ing that seemed to exist between the
teachers and pupils in the rooms which
we visited. The unity of spirit which
you cau feel but not see. Most of the
teachers have been in the schools some
time. The superintendent, Mr. Steph
ens, has been connected with the schools
since their opening this fall. I happened
to visit on an unfortunate day, examina
tion day. but as the examinations were
oral it was quite pleasant. While in New
ton. one of the teachers received a package
from Mr. Loughridge, of India, n former
superintendent at Newton, in which he
remembered his teachers by sending each
a copy of one of the gospels of the New
Testament, printed in the language
which they use in that part of India. A
very nice keepsake. I called on Miss
Emma Roberts and learned for the first
time of the death of her sister Amanda.
One by one our schoolmates and friends
pass away.
Of the country between this and Des
Moines wc will say nothing, as wc passed
over the most of it after night. The cap
ital building will be an imposing structure.
About f> o’clock we arrived at the Exposi
tion building, and least some of you, like
me, do not know what or where this build
ing is, I will say: It is near the center
or business part of the city, and is a large
square brick structure, apparently built
around a circular opening, three stories
in bight. You enter upoa the second
floor, and the first thing that strikes your
eye is the fountain at play. Sewing ma
chines, hardware, tinware, woods of var
ious kinds, &c., &c., arc upon every side of
you, but the next floor presents the great
cst variety. The glass works draw some,
but the bird tamer attracts the largest
crowd. In the museum wc found a large
variety of butterflies, bugs, and insects of
all kinds, coins, rocks, and fossils; but the
taxidermists have exceeded. Several cases
of birds and’animals as natural as life arc
to be seen. In the fancy work depart
ment a case of animals and birds made
of 7.cpli3’r or worsted and grouped with
pressed leaves, etc., astonished us by their
life likeness. The paintings were num
erous. By twelve we were weary with
seeing, eyes and head ached with the con
tinual strain.'and the din and confusion,
Much more might bj said but we des'ist.
Wc returned home wishing that many
who have not, might have an opportunity
of spending a few hours in the same way.
Farmers’ wives and daughters, mother
and teacher, many whose lives are monot
onous, would derive great pleasure and
much benefit from a day of such sight
seeing. and give food for thought many
weeks. L.

Meciianicsbcrq, ()., Oct. 0, 1878.
Editor Herald.— Wc left lto3c Hill
on the last day of August for a trip to
Ohio. Wc had a very pleasant time go
ing through; trains made close connec
tion without accident. We found nearly
all our Ohio friends shaking with the
ague, aud if wc had not been iron clad
from proud lowa, we would have been
afraid of having the willow pond ague;
hut as frosty nights arc coming on the
health of the people is improving.
Wc attended the Central Ohio Fair, at
Mechanicsburg, the Grst of September.
The display of stock was fine, but the
same cause that is crippling agricultural
societies cast and west, was practiced here,
giving all the money to the speed ring.
The second week of September we took
io the State Fair at Columbus, Ohio,
which was almost a failure on account of
rain. The display of stock and machin
ery was grand. The display of draft
horses was good. The Clydesdale stock
carried off the first prize on imported
an l native broeds both. The best trot
ting time was 2:23. The fair was held
eight days for the mud to dry up, so the
racing could go off.
After the State fair was over, wc si>cnt
about two weeks in visiting in old Cham
paign county, where wc lived until 24
years old. There has been a good many
changes since 1 lived here nine years ago;
but, strange to say, the old clay farms arc
producing better crops now than they did
ffftccn years ago, and if our lowa farm
ers would sow more clover, and not raise
corn on the same ground # ten to fifteen
years (as is the practice of so many farm
ers) we would sec a vast improvement in
the productiveness of our lowa land.
Wheat here in central Ohio wilF average
fully 25 bushels per acre, and corn is as
good as we ever saw in the old Buckeye
State. When strolling through tho coun
try we stopped at West Liberty,
county, to see Miss Alice Smith, formerly
of our old home, Bose Ilill, lowa. Found
her cloying the sweefcom forts of home
with her aged father and one brother, a
promising mao of eighteen wiuters.
While there I took a walk to the ceme
tery. It is situated on a high hill, con
taining about 20 acres, sloping off gradu
ally in every direction, making it very at
tractive. VVe saw some very tine nionu
uu-nts, costing from s’>oo to S3OOO. Our
attention was drawn to one, (as we gazed
on the large blocks of granite marble,
with statues on top, life size) bearing the
name of James Brown, born in the pal
ish of Glenfakle, 1 relaud, in 1756, aud
died in West Liberty, 0., Sept. 10,1562,
aged 106 years and 3 months. We no
ticed quite a number more that had died
at the age of from 85 to 98 years old.
The thought occurred to me while I
viewed the granduer displayed in car
ing for the dead at that place, that it
would be a good rule to judge the living
By.
We passed the time in visiting old
friends, and looking at stock in Clark and
Union counties, for a few days. If Ma
haska county had as many big, heavy
horses as Union county, you would not
hear so many men howling about having
their farms overstocked with horses an i
can't sell them. I meet with horse buy
ers every day, buying heavy boned horses,
and I have seen as high as $275.00 paid
for heavy farm horses, since I came here.
11. 0. lire)', near Mecliauiesburg, sold 5
head ot Clydesdale colts, 2 an 1 3 years
old, for $l9O per head. John Owens
sold a Clyde ccl\ 2 years old, last spring,
for $225. These colts weighed from
1400 to 1600 fl-s. This shows the ad
vantage of raising big, heavy boned hor
ses. Small horses sell as cheap here as
in our own count}*.
Wc were at the Champaign county
fair, held at Urbana, ()., Sept 24 28th in
clusive. Had a plea«ant time for it, and
saw a great many of my old friends, and
last but not least by no means, we took in
the Union county fair, held at Mar}'s
ville, 0., October Ist to 4th, (more com
monly known here as the World’s Fair).
It is the best fair we have yet visited, aud
as Union county has a reputation for
draft horses that have no equal in the
State of Ohio, we went there the day
draft horses showed, on purpose to see
what they had, and it was grand. There
was one family of black Clydesdale hor
ses that showed uine in number that took
seven first premiums and one second
premium. One of this family was a black
mure owned by Mr. Ilarbett, of Union
county, which weighed 1900 pounds, the
finest mare in Ohio; at least she has prov
en herself so by taking the sweepstakes
price at six different county fairs, and
State fair at Columbus this fall.
Tl ie weather is tine here at the present
writing. Farmers arc putting out a large
wheat crop. The fruit crop was good
here; I farod sumptuously on peaches
when I first came here, and now we have
splendid apples and cider by the barrel.
To-morrow is election day. llow I
would like to be at Rose Hill to kill 11. I\
Hokes’ greenback vote. (ireenbackers
are scarce here. More prohibitionists,
and not enough of either to make Democ
racy win.
We expect to Ik* at homo next week
if wc keep well. We get the Herald
every week. People out here wonder how
it is we can shake up such a large valua
ble paper in Mahaska county. I tell
them its the timber its made of that
makes it so valuable, (bright-eyed Re
publicans) llow I did wish for one of
the greenback advocates here when I run
out of gun wads. I wanted to shoot a
polecat.

A Fight with a Shark.
Capt. W. f. Pattison had quite a
tight with the gray man eating shark
which he caught off Short Beach,
Branford, the other day. The mons
ter was nine feet four in length, and
was as big around as a flour barrel.
His jaws were nine inches in diame
ter, and, after his head had been cut
oft', the captain put his head between
his six rows of formidable teeth and
through his throat. The captain has
been on the water for twenty-two
years, but this is the lirst time he has
ever known of a gray shark’s visit to
the waters of tho sound. When he
found the ugly fellow in his fish net,
he had him drawn to his yacht, and
grabbed him by his top fin, as he cx.
presses it. The shark was decidedly
opposed to this method of treatment,
and snapped viciously at everything
with in his reach, occasionally taking
something out of the gunwale of the
boat, and twice biting the captain’s
log. Finally his capturer got a line
around tho monster and hauled him
on deck. Here he took h s long
knife and cut his backbone in two.
Even this severe treatment did not
cool the rage of the man-eater; for
two hours and a half afterward, when
a pine plank an inch thick was pre
sented to him he immediately bit it
in two. The snapping of his jaws
could have been heard a distance of
ten yards. He lived four hours after
his backbono had been disjointed. He
weighed considerably more than 100
pounds. —New Haven Register.
A remarkable case of mistaken identity
occurred at St. Louis recently. Herman
Shuster awoke in the morning and found
himself dead. At least the newspapers
said he was dead and that his body was at
the morgue. Mr. Suhuster went to the
place mentioned and there, sure enough,
found himself laid out on the slab as dead
as anybody could wish. Mr. Schuster
was alarmed. The forehead of the corpse
was his, the hair and moustache were the
color of his and the body would not vary
in weight five pounds from his own. The
clothes, also, were exactly like those adorn
ing Mr. Schuster’s person. “ Vot ish dc
golor of his eyes? asked Herman of
Dr. Ainbaugh. The doctor turued up the
corpse’s eyelids and found them blue.
“ Dot ish petter, ’ said Herman, with a
long sigh of relief. “ Dot ish not mine
pody. Dose is plue and mine is black.

his hands, and he forgot what to say next.
Thcro was a moment of profound silence,
and then Aurelia took it from him and
went out of the room with it. When she
came back he was gone. They meet now,
but they meet as strangers, and the eyes
that were wont to beam upon each other
with the awakkned love light now glare as
though life was an eternal wash-day.—
