Among a certain class of people a cry
h i s lately been raised, the but den of
which is, "IJeware of marrying a pretty
woman." Now isn't that a pretty
way to talk to us young fellows.''
What is the matter with pretty women ;
don't they make good wives? Of course
they do, and as for our part we advise
the laiie.s not to marry handsome men,
they get threadbare in spots and places,
but it does not follow that prettv women
will do anything of the kind. We mean
natura ly pretty women not the manu
factured kind. Why. whtit a lot of lu
natics they must bo who argue that they
cannot be made good wives of; we had
rather have two pretty women than one
ugly one, anytime: so hid any other
scni!ile man. Uesides, these croakers,
when they advise men to beware of mar
rying pretty women, virtually advi-c
against marrying altogether, for where is
the swain who does not consider his lul
cina perfectly beautiful? Shame! we
'shall marry the handsomest girl in this

The Council iJIuifs Xonpnrtil takes
occasion to introduce an "obvious moral"
in this wise :
At the election the Kepublicans se
cured the control of the city of Dubuque.
The Republican C. until gave the city
printing to the Ilcpubliean Time, but
at. ''starvation rates." The Democratic
Utrall says the giving of the printing
to the Times is right, and exactly what
t!i 3 Council should have done, but it
was not right to insist that the printing
shoul 1 lie done tor almost nothing. It
cannot understand why a newspaper
should be asked to work for the city
cheaper than it can for any bu-iness man.
It tells the Hmrs that it is the duty of
their pirty ftiei ds in the Council to pay
them fair rates ; that they should insist
upon having them ; and that the senti
ment of the town wi!' sustain them in it.
While in power the Democracy of Coun
cil D'ufVs and Pottawattamie county ac t
ed upon this principle, as the N'jiip ircil
has abundant reason to recollect. They
never turned away their organ to fatten
on 'starvation rates," for work perform

Mr. Josejh Foote, with his son-in law,
T. C. Meadviile, Bey. Mr. Birch and
F. II. Yagtr were going up to Cedar Is
land with wagons to get young cedar
trees to set out on their farms. As they
were going down the hill at. Simpson'
mill they saw Van Amburgh's caravan
coming down the hill on the opposite
side of the creek, and so they turned out
of the road and Mopped. Mr. Foote
and Mr- Birch were in a buggy together
and the latter got out to hold their
horses, while the former sat in the buggy
and hell the lines-. This was the situa
tion, when the elephant came up with
rut any coveting on it, and looking
like a weather-beaten hen house with a
beer cask at each corner waddling along
the road ; the hor.-es took fright at the
uncouth monster and reared, pitched and
whiiled, carrying Mr. Birch forward and
throwing Mr. Foote out over the dash
board so that he struck on his face and
head in the road down the hill, while the
horse ran away and fetched up against a
fence some distance farther down.
Mr. Foote's nose end upper lip were
badly lacerated, ami ga? lies were made in
his cheek and over his eye ; some of his
hair was scoured off, and a large tear
in the scalp. Dr. Way was cailed as
soon as possible, and after his wounds
and injuries were properly cared for, he
was carried through the city td his home
five or six miles south of town. There
appeared to be some internal abdominal
injury; but at last accounts lie seemed
likely to recover.

from the city, a distance of about twenty
miles, supposing it would be sent by
steam. But on the day appointed eight
negroes made their appearance at
Wh te'f Hotel, in Tijuca, with the said
piano riding aloft on their woolly heads
having brought it the entire distance,
including the mountain road of three
miles heavy 'up grade,' without once
stopping for rest on the way. Before
setting it down these jolby negroes para
ded it about the yard with a sing-song

Uod Advice t 1j ict icsi.
If a man wants to get rid of dyspep
sia, he must give his stomach and brain
less to do. It will be of no service for
him to follow any particular regimen
to live on chaff bread, or any such stuff,
to weigh his food, etc., so long as the
lrain is in a constant state of excitement.
Let them have proper rest, and the
stomach will perform its functions. But
if he pass fourteen or fifteen hours a day
in his oSice or counting room, and takes
no exercise, his stomach wid inevitably
become paralyzed, and if he puts noth
ing into it but a cracker a day, it will not
digest it. In many cases it is the brain
that is the primary cause, (rive that
delicate organ some rest. Leave your

Take more or less exerci.-e in the open

Public feeling in New Brunswick still
runs high against the treaty. In the
Legislative Assembly, the Attorney
General moved a series of resolutions in
opposition to the treaty. A hope is ex
pressed that the Canadian Parliament
will not ratify the treaty, but will still
carry out its policy of protecting the fish
eiies. The Attorney General delivered
a long and able speech in support of his
resolutions. lie indignantly repelled the
idea that the Province would be forced
into annexation by the treaty, and said
of the mother country : "'J'houghshe
should slay me, yet will I trust her."
There is no doubt the resolutions will
pass both houses without a dissenting
voice. The fishermen at Bay of Fuinly
;re alarmed and indignant. Steps are
being taken for holding a public meeting.

Shell and Fort Benton, Montana, were
attacked on the lUth hist, by a band of
Indians, numbering about forty-five, ten
miles liom Fort H:wley, and a despe
rate fight ensued. The men, who were

effect, upon the Indians. One man,
named Joe Lee, was killed, and the oth
er two, named Williams and Denton,
wounded, but succeeded in crossing the
river on a log, and reaching a place of
safety. A party of men who visited the
