how is it, and whv is it ?
Calling attention to the fact that the
Republicans of Ohio and Nebraska
(California might be added) have so
promptly and freely expressed their
sympathy with Prussia, while the
Democracy of Ohio have been silent
on the subject, the Iowa State Regis
ter thus describes tho why and where
fore of the difference :
"The Republican Convention of
Ohio, the Republican Convention of
Nebraska, and the Democratic Con
vention of Iowa, were all in session
on Wednesday last. The first two
unanimously adopted resolutions sym
pathizing with Prussia, and the latter
said not a word about. The Republi
can Convention fight openly with
Prussia, the Democratic act the cow
ard, and making no public choice,
fight secretly with France. The milk
in this cocoanut is not mysterious,
and its cream can be easily skimmed.
In our civil war Prussia gave her
heart to the northern army and lent
the Government a thousand millions,
in moneyrwhen money with it was
life itself; while France was in con
stant sympathy with the South, and
constantly begged the powers of Eu
rope to recognize it as a nation.

LETTER TO THE ADVERTISER
FROM INDIANA.
South Bend, Aug. 16.
Perhaps it will not be entirely un
interesting to hear from the National
Normal Musical Institute about clos
ing its session in South bend the
home of Vice President Colfax, who,
in a recentspeech before the Institute,
gave it the name "National," because
of the large number of States of the
Union represented, and the wide
spread reputation of its principal
teachers.

Probably the best corps ofteachers
this country affords.
There are one hundred and eighty
in attendance. Each morning we
have devotional exercises a portion
of Scripture is read, singing by the
class, and chanting the Lord's prayer
and songs of praise.
The teachers' class is under the di
rection of Geo. P. Boot, who labore to
elevate the standard of teaching by
simplifying it in all its varied forms.
Two hours each day is devoted to this
work. Some members of the class
conduct the exercises part of the time,
and all pass criticisms. This leads
to a general study of the best modes
of teaching. There are several classes
in Harmony, under the best, compos
ers ; and here "Thorough Bass" be-
comes as familiar as household-words.
One honr each day is devoted to
piano forte recitals, by Mr. Mason or
Mr. Mathews, of Chicago, explaining
tho best methods by which piano
players may speedily advance to exe
cute the compositions of Beethoven,
Liszt, and others, in a manner that is
emotional; and aiding teachers in
looking moro to the ethical part of
music.
There are six classes in vocal train
ing, under able teachers, with Prof.
Bassini superintending in person. He
most discerns tho wants of each one in
the class, and clearly points out the
best course of training to develop the
voice most rapidly. His method of
teaching is without doubt the most
progressive of the age.
The Institute gives an entertain
ment in the form of a concert each
Friday evening in a large Opera Hall,
to a crowded audience ; using a Steck
"Full Grand" piano for accompani-
"tfaftwijpi ifL ma nn er. Thcgrandestper-
iormanaesaro in tne urutorioaiiroiij
Hayden's'GrcaUon, which our inspir
ing leader brings out with clear out
lines and thrilling effect.
The last grand closing concert will
be given Tuesday;evening. The Ora
torios from theuCreation will then be
completed, atnd we predict for it a
most perfect succes.
Mr. Boot must feel that his labors
are amply rewarded, and anticipate
still greater results from the Normals.

VOTE OF THANKS TO THE GER
MANS OF AMERICA.
The North German Consul General
at New York has received the follow
ing vote of thanks from Germany to
the Germans of this country, for their
sympathy with their native land, and
the collections they are making for
the German victims of the European
war:
"Your warm sympathy and active
help in the frivolous war with which
jui insolent enemy is invading us has
truly benefitted us in our hearts.
When you left your native homes,
you transferred the peuates of patri
otism to your new country. There,
in the land of freedom, great by
Washington's deeds, hallowed by the
martyr blood of the noble, inflexible
Lincoln, you have not lost the feel
ing of communion with us, your Ger
man brethren on this side of the ocean.
In glaring flames of enthusiasm for
your native land, you rise against the
same Cajsarisra which stretched forth
its hand for Mexico, which protected
the hydra of rebellion of your coun
try, as much as it could do so, and
which now intends to enrich the
peaceful banks of the beautiful river
Rhine with blood. Thanks to you
for this love, this enthusiasm, dear
compatriots. Across the ocean ve
reach to you, in German faithfulness,
the brotherly hand. Three cheers for
the common mother! Three cheers
for Germania! Three cheers for the
daughter, bright with freedom! Three
cheers for America! Thus resolved
at Cologne on the Rhine, the 25th of
July, 1870, with unanimous, enthusi
astic applause, by a mass meeting,
held at the Gertrudenhof."

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1870.
WMTTiaCOB THE ADyEBTJSEB,
SOJOURNERS.
How unutterably beautiful, how
marvelously adapted to the wants of
man, are the utterances of the bible.
The delighted spirit becomes enrap
tured in the fassination of their influ
ences. Blessed is the one who has
drank deep into the inspiration of
those utterances. Blessed is the man
who has risen up out of the cloud and
mist of external religion which is
only a light garment of form and cer
emonyup into the spiritual life,
which is (he true religion of the soul,
and causes it to cry continually,
nearer my God, near to thee ; which
causes the spirit to rise, higher and
higher, as it moves onward continu
aUj and grasps more and moro of the
mysteries' of life and intelligence in
the ever brightening glories of the
eternal ages.
Take one sentence of ideas from the
old Hebrew Scriptures. It is the voice
of God giving instruction through in
spiration to the children of men. Hear
it! "What more doth he require of
thee than to do justly, love mercy,
and walk humbly with thy God?"
Again, Jehovah expresses in inspired
words of men, his greater pleasure in
moral action than in legal ordinances;
for "he regardeth obedience more than
all burnt offerings and sacrifices." In
these fwo sentences is more correct
philosophy of a religious life more
true philosophy in a genuine religion
than all the musty tones, issuing
from still mustier brains.
Now some words from the scriptures
of the new dispensation. "Love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart,
mind and strength ; and thy neighbor
as thyself, for tlm is the law and the
prophets." This sums up all that was
ever taught 'in the requirements of
law, or in the metaphysics of moral
action ; and is a better light and guide
to the mind, than all the bewildering
books on the "Plan of Salvation"
and "Scheme of Redemption," ever
written by bewildered theologians.
"Lay up your treasures in heaven."
What wonderful meaning in those six
"words. An intimate relation between
heavenly things and earthly things,
is plainly expressed. How to lay the
foundation for a joyous existence, is
distinctly taught. Halos of immor
tality glitter all through these words.
Look at this inspired utterance:
"We are pilgrims and sojourners hero,
seeking a better country." Who has
not felt himself in a like condition of
JtiuTwIth the spotle,,wben, in an ex
jUte&iafe 'of mint, -the spiritvhas,
reache'dvout after something better,
purer,"Drighter, than any thing earth
can give, and exclaimed, I am a so
journer on earth, and desire a higher
life; a "better land." Or, when tossed
upon the surging billows of trouble
and trial ; the angry waves threaten
ing to overwhelm the bowed spirit;
then, weary with its earthly sojourn
ing, it cries out for rest in the beauti
ful land seen in vision, although Jor
dan rolls between.
Affection strikes its roots deep down
in our hearts, autt entwines itself in
every part of our being ; springs up
into flower, fragrance and joy ; our
existence is made happy and glad in
living for the one we love so much ;
his presence is necessary to our peace.
The hidden influences in the mystery
of life, attract us to him. The glori
ous yet peaceful influence of the mag
netism of souls holds us in its power,
and we become Christlike in that we
sacrifice our own ease and comfort,
and live for the happiness of the loved
one.
But a strange change comes over
him ; a mystery hovers about him ; a
secret is in his eye ; a paleness on his
face; an unearthly tone is in his voice.
At last he is very cold .and still. In
silence and sorrow they place him in
the coffin, and lay him away in the
grave; and they all say he is dead!
Yes, dead ! But what is it to be dead ?
A strange change comes over us, too.
New and unthought of powers are
awakened in our souls. New vision
is given to our eyes. Our spirit goes
out in lamentations after the dead ;
and the wail is heard in the skies.
May-be when the soul is rapt in ex
tatic prayer, or may-be when in the
solitude and stillness of the midnight,
a bright form passes
hand touches us ; a
before us ; a soft
low, sweet voice
says I am here, Then the mourner
for the dead becomes enraptured, like
the holy prophets and seers of old,
and his heart is full of thankfulness
to the Father in heaven ; and he is
glad he is but a sojourner here, seek
ing a better country. And, though
the ordeal may have been terrible, he
has been permitted to look through
the mists and clouds of earth, up into
the heavens beyond. With patience
he waits and works until his death
come: and he, too, goes to live with
the angels and his own loved dead.
Many do not feel they are sojourners
here;, they "are of the earth, earthy,"
and are at home on the earth. But
the time will come, if it is not until
their feet touch the cold waters of
death, that they will have a desire for
a higher life a better land.
It is a great attainment in religious
experience in moral culture for one
to realize he is a sojourner on the
earth. It is an evidence he has made
an advance toward heaven ; that he
desires a mansion in the heavens.
And its influence is powerful to help
him prepare himself, so when mortal
ity has put on immortality, he may
"pass through the gates into the city."

The following dispatch, from Paris,
contains the very latest from the seat

Metz is entirely isolated, and the
Prussians are strong in the West, in
that viciuity.
Gen. Faillay, who was in command
at Chalons, is still there, but by anew

A correspondent describes the scene
of the battle of the 16th asoneseldom
equalled. Thirty miles of ground was
covered with dead and wounded of
both sides. The cannonading from
the German side, and the rattle of the
needle gun were terrific. The defeat
of the French was total Their long
columns could be seen pouring to
wards the north in the effort to evade
pursuit, by way of Briey. The loss
on both sides is immense, and many
French prisoners were taken. The

It is reported that a Prussian spy,

McMahon left Chalons, burning the

cannot 3et ascertain whether it is a
movement or rcconnoisance. As far
as I can sec, the spirit of the troops Is
excellent but I never saw before so

A special dispatch from Berlin says
that since last Tuesday Metz has been
completely surrounded by a strongly
entrenched force of Prussians, No
attempt at a sally had been made up
to noon yesterday.
Paris is utterly without news from
the seat of war.
The entrenchments around Metz
are completed.
It is believed a deputation from the
Corps Lcgislatifl has gone to the Em
peror to demand his abdication.
It is said that an organization foa a
Provisional Government for France is
imminent.
In the absence of official news from
the armies, it is believed that the
Prussians will not hurry an attack
upon Paris, but turn their attention
to the reduction of Metz, and the de
struction of Bazaine's army, leaving
the Crown Prince to cut the French
communication with Paris, and with
McMahon, and to check any forwrrd
movement on his part for the relief
of Metz. It is further believed that
the Prussians are strong enough to
disregard McMahon's reinforcements,
composed, as they are, of raw troops.

among whom were A. T. Sewart and

that the bids were for each of them

The Marriage QucutioK .What Jesb
BlUlagii Thlnluof It.
Marriage iz a falrtranjaction orithe
face of it.
But there iz quite too ofton put up
jobs in it. ""
It iz an old institution ; older than
the pjTamids, and oz phull of hyero-1
glyphics that nobody can parse.
History holds its tung wno the paro
wuz who fust put on the silken har
nuss, and promised tew work kind in
it, thru thick and thin, up hill and
down, and on the level, rain or shine,
servive or perish, sinkorswini, drown
or note.
But whoever they woz, they must
have made a good thing out of it, or
so mauy of their- posterity would not
have iiarcnssqd. up since and druv
out.
There is a grato moral grip in mar
riage? it is tho mortur that holds tho
soshull bricks together.
But there ain't but dunufew folks
who put their money in matrimony,
who cood set down and give a good
written opioniou whi on earth thev
did it. J
This iz a grate proof that iz one of
them natural kind of accidents, that
must happen jist az birds fli outof the
nest, when they have fethers .enuff,
without being able to tell whi.
Sum marry for beauty, and never
discover their mistake ; this is lucky.
Sum marry for money, and don't
see it.
Sum marry for nediirrec. and feel
big for six months, and then very
sensibly come to the conclusion that
pedigree is no better than skiraed
milk.
Sum marry to pleze their relashuns
and are surprised to learn that their
relashuus don't care a cuss for them
afterward.
Sum marry becauso they hav been
highsted sumwherelse ; this is a cross
match ; a bay and a sorrel ; prido
may make it endurable.
Sum marry forlovo, without a cent
in their pocket, nor a frend in the
wurld, nor a drop ov pedigree. Thid
looks desperit, but is tho strength of
the game.
If marrying forlove ain't a success,
then matrimony is a ded beet.
Sum marry becauso they think
wimmin will be scarce next year and
live to wonder how the crop holds
out.
Sum marry to git rid of themselves
and it a game that two can play and
neitherwin.
Sum marry the second time to get
even, and find it a gambling? -game j
tho more they put' down tho less they
take up.
Summarry-for happines, and not
finding it, wonders whero all the
happiness goes tu when it dies.
Sum marry they can't tell whiand
live they can't tell how. '
Almost everbody gita married, and
its a good joke,
Sum marry in great haste, and
then set down and thinn it carefully
over.
Some think ftnvnr ivn.' tirnfn11rf

Sum murry coquetts. This is like

Married life has its chances, and
this isjustwhat gives it its flavor.
Everybody luvs to phooi with tho
chances, bekauzo everybody expecks
to win. But I am authorized to say
that everybody don't win.
But after all, marriage life is full as
certain as tho dry goods bizness.
Kno man can sware exactly wharo
he will fetch up when he touches cal
ico. Calico does not know, even herself.
Dry goods of all kinds is the child
of circumstance.
Sum never marry, but thisisji3taa
risky ; tho disease is the same with
no other name to it.
The man that stands on tho bank
shiverinr and dassent, i3 more likely
to ketch cold than him who pitches
his head fust into the river.
There is but few who never marry"
because they won't they all hanker,
and most of them starve with slices
of bread before them spread on both
sides jist for the laalc of grit.
Marry young, is my motto.
If ennybody asks you why you got
married, tell him you do not rekol
lect. Marriage is a safo way gamble if
win, you win a whole pile, and if yu
lose, you don't lose anything, only
the privilege of living dismally alone
and soaking yure own feet.
I repeat it itallicks, marry younrg!
There is but one good excuse for
marriage late in life, that is a second
A VOMAN'S DEKENHE OF DRESS.
For myself I should be thankful to
return to the habit3 of our grandmoth
ers; buy a bounct which would do to
wear ten years; have three dresse3,
two for every day, ono for 'nice,' and
wear them year after year till they
wear out, without alteration also
twist up my hair in a plain wad at the
back or my head. I should then have
more time for reading and study, and
more uioney to spend in books, pic
tures, and travelling, to say nothing
of the unlimited time and money for
doing good. And I know of very ma
ny women who would be only too
happy to throw aside tho wearfsomo
shackles of fashion. But what-would
be the result? With the maiden, no
more beaux; with tho wife, a cessa
tion of devotion on tho part of her
husband. Results too dire to be con
templated for a moment. I speak
what I know, and testify to what I
have seen. I have myself been to
parties sensibly and economically
clad, and I ua3 despised and rejected
of men: again I have been more fash
ionably and expensively attired, and
I had more beaux than I knew what
to do with. By tbe way, why don't
some of these wise bachelors court
and marry among tjie vast army of
working girls? They are dressed very
simply and are accustomed to habits
of economy. They would bo glad e
nougli of good homes, and would
make excellent wives. They are per
sonally attractive, and, I doubt not,
are quite 03 refined and intelligent as
tho average of fashionable women.
Why is there not a greater demand
for them as wives, and are not tho
Flora McFIimseys a drug in thomar-
ket? Let the facts speak for them
seLves. Be not deceived, O my breth
ren! With jou lies the fault; from
you must come the remedy refuse to
pay court to silk3, panniers, frills afid
chignons, and we shall go over to- cal
ico in battalions. IJUvming Fflst.
