Thé shipients of grain from Missouri Rirer\Lm points have greatly fallen off during the last month. The cause of this was not because there was no grain to ship. It is stated that there is plenty of grain at those points, but the shippers would not forward it because the pres- ent prices in the Esst are so low that they could make nomoney. The railrosd mauagers were told that if they would make a reduction in the rates 80 as to enable them to forward their grain without loss, they would hold back no longer.

BLurrs, March 16.—An ice-gorge has formed iu the Missourl River, a short dis- tance north of this city, and consid@rable dam- age to property is antlcipated. Already the adjacent territory Is submerged, and a number of light river crafts sunk or swept away in the Hood. Oxrana, March 18.—The Missouri River is just now full of floating fee,—the result of the re- cent cold snap,—and an immnense ice-gorge has formed in the big bend in a northeasterly direc- tion from the smelting-works, causing the stream to rise ot that point and overflow the bottoms on the Iowa side. For over a quarter of a nile opposite the smelting works, the water pours down over the Iowa bank into the main_channel, forming a series of falls from four to six fect in heizht and over 200 in number, At one place, the southermost poiut, the fall is from forty 1o fifty feet wide aud about six feet high. This cut-off is what has been expected for several years, it having Leen an undisputed fuct that it must come, souner or later. 1t has lous been thought that thie Missouri would ma this cut-off, znd thus forin a new channel where this great body of water is now rushing over tne bottoms. It may be that the gorze will break before the overflow will make a permanent cut, and_thus allow the water to resume its old course. The hard frozen around may also prevent a new channel from being made. THE CHURCII CALAMITY.

MILWAURES, March 14.~In the Chicazo Times of last Saturday is an cditorial entitled “The Political Campaign,” the purport where- of is that the State of Wisconsin, more es- pecially Mr. Lynde’s district, was by the Demo- cratic leaders entirely heglected. Every fair- winded man in Milwaukee and vielpity will agree with the Zimes in that respect. It may be added thereto that the Milwaukee County Irish have defeated Tilden. This county has about 140,000 inhabitants, 99,00 of which speak Germau,being cither born in Germany orin thiscountry of German parcnts. There arc also, upan the highest estimate, in this county about 20,000 Irish and Irish descendants, so that there are nine Germans to two Irishmen, or nine Germans to five other citizens in this county. DBut every time in the even years Milwaukeé has county elections, and in ihose years thore are either Congressional or Prest- dential elections. The Irist are therefore on the alert, and, with their skilled and well-trained caucus manipnlations, suceessfully managze to obtain the Democratic nominations for the best and mast of the oflices, and by the ery of party, which {s in such years at stake, they always suc- ceeded to bulldoze the majority of the Demo~ cratic voters to vote the Irish into the fattest offices. Last fall two of the best offices were to be filled in this county, and a5 a matter of course who but Irishmen wl\!&sgfl the caucus nomiuation, end they got it. ~As usual the ery of party was by themy raised, but the German Democrats have became eshausted with the ery of partyasa means to_feed the Irish- loafers from the public crib, and refused to follow ‘party leaders, and defeated the whule Democratic ticket. Every man outside of the Irish said: “Served thew right.” In 1873 this county gave 2 Democratic majority of upward of 7,500 votes, and last fall for the first time of its existence this county elected Republican county officers on a Republican ticket. Takiog the matter in_coutemplation ‘yon must come to the conclusion that the whole national ticket was_ defeated the egreed of the Milwaukee Irish. ‘There is no Goubt that tl county, with its usual Democratic - majority, would have chanzed the whole State intoa Democratic victory, and Tilden would_have bad ten more Electoral votes, which no Returning Board could count out. Be, therefore, the na- tional defeat this last fall upon the voracious Irish and their beads. Their greed. cry of pov- erty and religion (Catholicisin), force véry often good Democrats to vote the opposition ticket. Were lhe{ taught better manners by their de- feat last fall, I would now say quits, we are even, but they, being the followers of the infal- 1ible nos-possumus caller, they cannot Hmit their desires for peace. Next month there is 2 municipal court clerk- ship to be auctioned in this city. They are thirsting for that now. Although most of them are illiterate, every one of them is a_pol- itivian -and a_dextrous caucus manipulator.

They force two issues upon the people, first, nationality: sceopd, religion, “both of which are asulnst™ the spirit of this country. In conclusion, let me predict that if the Irish will 2o on in the style Rey have here- tofore chalked out for themsclves and other Catholics, they will convert Milwaukee into o Republican county.

Amonz the hurtful consequences of obstructed digestion. is the impoverishment of the blood, and since o deteriative condition of the vital fluid not only produces dangerous organic weakness, bat, according to the best meaical authorities, some- times causes aephyxia, it is apparent that to im- prove the quality of the blood by promoting digee- tion and aseimilation, is & wise precaution.
