It is stated in the war and navy depart-mente

that while the fighting branches of the governmentare in their customary condition of readiness for action, offensive

and defensive, the present difficulties with Mexico are yet the exclusive concern of the

diplomatic branch, and that no move- ment of troops or vesais have yet been or-dereidwith

a view to possible warfare. At the state department it is said that there

is nothing new which it would be proper to make public, at present, buht that thre is stitl teaon to douht an amicable adjust- meet of the Cutting affair. It is unofficial- ly learned that the correpondence now in

progreisa expected to bring about defi- nite reanlts of some kind within a few days

more. The direct object sought to be a- complished by the government is, firt, thvrelease of Cutting.

PERVERTED AFFECTION.

I.

A young man of about thirty years

of age stepped slowly along one of the

principal streets of the metropolis.

He was of an elegant and interesting

presence. He gazed absent-mindedly

into the show windows to the right,

and seemed lost in thought.

"Good morning, Edmund," called a

gentleman apparently ten years his

senior and of compact figure, with a

full black beard, who was coming to-wards

him. "This is the first time I

have seen you since your marriage,

and it confirms the sad aphorism that

a young husband forgets nothing more

easily than his friends. Do not inter-rupt

me, for I intend no reproaches,

since I am aware of your happiness.

You have married the prettiest girl in

town, and I think you are too sensible

not to agree with me when I say her

money is no drawback. Poverty

makes no one happy, and riches do

no harm, you know."

Over the handsome face of Mr. Ed-mund

Hagen, the person addressed,

flitted a weak smile.

"Doctor, I do not say that you are

not right," he answered; "but money

cannot do everything. I am happy,

yet-"

He did not finish the sentence.

"Yet?" repeated Dr. Henry Brose,

who was a physician of note. "This

word betrays the fact that your hap-piness

has some sort of unpleasant

after-taste. What do you mean by

this 'yet?"'

'-Nothing-nothing!" said Hagen.

"This won't do," continued Brose.

"I do not require a confession; but an

old friend should not be cut off short

in this way. Where does it pinch?"

"Nowhere-nowhere!" cried Hagen,

half out of humor. "My happiness

would be complete, were not the moth-er

of my wife-" '

"Aha! The mother-in-law!" broke

in the doctor. "You have always de-scribed

her to me as a most excellent

person."

"She is all tiat! I consider her a

paragon of a woman and mother."

"My dear Hagen, then I do not un-derstand

you.

"My wife is an angel. Every day I

learn to esteem and love her more,"

continued Hagen. "My mother-in-law

is a very excellent woman; kind, com-pliant,

self-sacrificing. Shedoes every-thing

to please me, yet-"

"Again that mysterous 'yet!' "broke

in the doctor. "Pray,Tspeak intelligi-bly."

"I do speak intelligibly." said Ha-gen.

"S]e. sters and cherishes me

as her own ir and favorite. Every

morning slieprepares for me the most

delicious coffee; at noon she selects

for me the most delicious tid-bits; in

the evening she cuddles me like achild,

she spoils me!"

"Well, that is not so terrible," said

Brose, laughing.

"But she never leaves us alone to-gether!"

burst out Hagen at last.

'That is unpleasant."

"She means it all right; but it is

very painful for me," continued Hagen.

"She loves my wife distractedly, be-cause

she is her only child, and this

reconciles me to the conditions again

and again; but this love becomes un-comfortable,

since my wife cannot

separate from her mother either. I

rejoiced like a child in anticipation of

our wedding trip. I had to give it up

because my wife insisted that her

mother should accon.pany us."

"You acted very prudently," said

Brose, in his dry, earnest manner.

"Yes, I was defrauded of my wed-ding

trip, and now I am being swindled

out of my honeymoon!" continued

Hagen, even more passionately, "My

wife cannot part from her mother, nor

the mother from her child. I have

often the feeling as though I were not

the husband of my wife, or master in

my own house!"

"Edmund this is a bad state of af-fairs,"

said the doctor, stroking his

beard with his right hand. "You are

all of you suffering from too much,

and, I may add, perverted, affection.

But I have an idea! How would itdo

to marry your mother-in-law to some-body?

She is not forty yet, is well

preserved, a handsome woman, and,

to one who had not seen her certificate

of baptism, she would appear thirty at

the most."

"Are you mad?" cried Hagen.

"Why?"

"My wife is the only heir of her

mother, to whom the entire property

belongs. Should she marry again we

might perhaps be left with a trifling

inheritance."

"You are right. Let us not get her

married, then. But I would willingly

be of assistance to you in this crisis of

your callow marital felicity."

"You can!" said Hagen. Vitit me

this evening-frequently-every even-ing!

My mother-in-law is arefined, cul-tured,

amiable lady. Entertainyour-self

with her. I am certain you will

not pass the time unpleasantly. I

know you likeRudesheinier. Ihavean

excellent vintage of this brand. One,

two, three bottles at your service ev-ery

evening. I will see that you have

the very best Havanas, and you will

have no other duty than that of en-tertaining

my mother-in-law, so that

my wife and I can have an hour to

ourselves. Are you agreed?"

"Of course!" cried the doctor laugh-ing.

"And you certainly will come this

evening?"

"Certainly!"

"And the following evenings,too?"

"Every evening! It is no great sac-rifice."

"But you are doing me a great fav-or,"

said Hagen, while he grasped his

friend's hand and pressed it warmly.

"You are putting to flight the only

cloud that thus far has troubled my

happiness."

'I willbrinabackthesunshine. You

will be satisfied with me," answered

the doctor.

"But you must not betray by a sin.

gle word the fact that I have occasion-ed

your coming."

"My dear Hagen, have you ever

found me so weak as to gossip more

than was good?"

"No, no! You are coming this ev-ening,

then, as though making a chance

visit?"

"Assuredly! My way leads me past

your door. I will call in just to see

how my old friend is getting ialong.

Or if you have no family physician I

will come as such."

"That will be better-do that!"

cried Hagen, joyfully. "I will present

you to my mother-in-law as the most

accomplished physician to be found

anywhere."

"In saying that, you will say only

the truth in my opinion," answered

Brose, jokingly.

"Well, au revoir!"

The friends parted.

II.

Edward Hagen occupied, with his

young wife, her mother's villa, which

stood in a magnificently laid out,

park- like garden; a short distance out-side

the city gates, Mme. Borschers,

whose husband had been dead a few

years only, spared no pains to create

for the young couple a charming and

happy home. She considered it the

mission of her life to care for the

happiness of the two young people;

Margaret was, to tell the

truth, a mere (hild, and had never

been accustomed to act for herself.

She had not the slightest idea that

through her immoderate care and love,

she had become burdensome to her

son-in-law.

It was evening when Edmund re-turned

home. His wife and mother-in-law

received him in thegarden. Marga-ret

ran to meet him.

"You came so late to-. day! " she cried,

while she wound her arms around him

tenderly and looked up to him with

eyes swimming in happiness.

"Not any later than usual," an-swered

Hagen, smiling. "You know

my business does not permit me to

come earlier. Your impatience has

probably made the time seem long."

"Children, come; the tea is ready,"

broke in Mme. Borschers.

"Let me first take ashort walk with

Margaret in the garden," repltliHa-gan.

"Besides, I do not feel the slight-est

hunger."

"Because you overwork yourself"

said Mme. Borschers.

"No, I do not overwork myself,"

Hagan assured her.

"Do come!" Margaret begged, in

tender tones. "Mamma is right. You

must first rest. We will take a walk

afterwards."

Hagan followed, although unwilling-ly.

For a single hour alone with his

wife he would gladly have gone

without his supper. He had no

appetite, although his mother-in-law

had prepared for him his favorite

dish. He looked impatiently at his

watch, hoping that his friend would

soon make his appearance and relieve

hini.

Brose came at last. Hagan intro-duced

him as his dearest friend, and

spoke of his qualifications as a physi-cian

and his amiability in termsover-flowing

with encomium.

"My dear Hagan,I fear your words of

exaggerated praisewill do me harm,"

the doctor responded, smiling. "The

ladies will now expect me to display

all these transcendental qualities and

inevitable disappointment will be the

consequence."

"Doctor, I give my son-in-law's

words the most unreserved credence,

since I know he is incapable of utter-ing

an untruth," protested Mme.

Boschers, and reached her hand in

welcome to tha physician.

They went into the garden and seat-ed

themselves under a linden tree.

Hagen provided the promised wine,

and gave his friend a look of grati-tude.

It was for Brose no sacrifice in the

society of his friend's mother-in-law;

for she was amiable and refined, and

looked so youthful and fresh, that she

might well be taken for her daughter's

elder sister.

Hagen listened to the conversation

a short time, and then withdrew to

promenade up and down slowly

among the trees, arm in arm with his

young wife.

How happy he felt! At last he was

alone with his beloved Margaret!

They had been married only a short

time, and had naturally a great many

things to say. The moon shone

through the tree tops; the evening was

stilland cool.

Hagen, since his marriage, had not

enjoyed a single confidential hour like

this. He could have shouted aloud

with joy. The time passed so quickly

that it seemed only a few minutes,and

he was almost frightened when he

looked at his watch and became aware

that he had walked up and down with

his wife more than two hours. He re-turned

immediately to his friend. It

was not without some feeling ot men-tal

perturbation that he allowed his

eye to rest for a moment on his moth-er-

in-law; but she did not seem to

know even how long he had been ab-sent.

"Dr. Brose entertained meexcellent-ly,"

she said in a tone that instantly

betrayed her cheerful and contented

frame of mind.

"That I knew, else I would not have

left you alone with him," answered

Hagen. "Notwithstanding the fact

that he is a woman-hater, and has

sworn- never to marry, he is a pleas-ant

companion."

He stepped up to his friend and

pressed his hand, with a glance of

private intelligence. Then he brought

a second bottle of wine to empty

with his preserver.

As Brose at last prepared to return

home, Mme. Borschers invited hinm

to repeat his visit soon.

"Doctor, you must come again to-morrow

evening," Hagen broke in.

"You have helped us to pass the time

so agreeably that we feel impelled to

ask a further sacrifice."

"I hope that I shall never have to

make a sacrifice with less hardship,"

answered Brose, laughing, and he

promised to come.

Higen accompanied him as tfr as

the garden gate.

But one morning he entered his

friend's place of business. llagein

sprang up manch pleased and hastened

to meet him.

"Ali, niy liberator!" lie cried, seizing

Brose's two hands in his. ' Best ol

friends how kind of you to come. I

wanted to look you up to-day and tell

you how happy I am. You are a sor-cerer,

my dear fellow! What charm

have you used to work such a com-plete

change in my mother-in-law?

We are now left to ourselves, not only

in the evening but often during the

day as well. For hours together my

mother-in-law sits in her room, and

we young people avail ourselves of the

time' and aimuse ourselves like (hil-dren.

This morning, even, sheadvised

us to make an excursion in the coun-try

next Sunday, and she added, re-gretfully,

that she would be unable to

accompany us18. We are going out

alone, doctor-alone! All this weowe

to you!"

Over the face of the doctor flitted a

sly smile.

"I can tell you still more," here-plied.

"Your mother-in-law intends

to move and leave the house to you

alone."

"Doctor, that would be delicious!"

exclaimed Hagen. "But I cannot

believe it. Where would she move

to?"

"To me."

"To you?" said Hagen, astonished.

"Will you rent apart of your house?"

"No, my friend," Brose answered,

laughing. "Your mother-in-law is go-ing

to nmarry me, and, of course, will re-side

in my house."

Hagen involuntarily drew back a

step and stared atthedoctor.

"You are joking," he said.

"Assuredly - not! You described

your mother-in-law to me as one of

the most excellent of women and I

have found that the facts bear out

your eulogy in every particular. In

order to render you a service, I have

asked her if she will be mine. She has

answered 'yes.' You can, therefore,

congratulate me as yourfuturefather-in-

law!"

"No, no! thiswon'tdo! Itmust not

be!" exclaimed Hagen.

"And why not? I see nothing to

hinder."

"It won't do!" repeated,Hagen, who

was not able to control his excite-ment.

"It won't answer! Theestate-my

wife is the only heir-she would

have to share-"

"Certainly, my friend, for I do not

desire the whole," Brose smilingly re-plied.

'-Your mother-in-law is ready

even now to cede half the property to

your wife."

"And the other half," burst in Ha-gen.

"She will keep herself," laughed

Brose.

Hagen stood silent and gnawed at

his under lip with his teeth.

"You have shamefully betrayed me!"

he then broke out. "You have de-ceived

me, told me what was not

true-"

"What was not true?" Brose inter-rupted

him.

"Yes! Have you not repeatedly

told me thatyouwouldnever marry?"

"Of course; but I have thought better

of it. I would, in all probability, have

carried out my resolution had I not

had the good fortune to make the ac-quaintance

ot your mother-in-law. I

have to thank you for it."

He held out his hand to his friend.

Hagen turned away.

"I do not wish any thanks!" he said.

You need not trouble yourself any

more, either. You need not visit any

more at my house!"

"Good!" laughed Brose, whom the

passion of his friend amused. "But

you will not object to my visiting my

fiance of an evening? Now, be reason-able,

Hagen! Your mother-in-law's

estate is so large that you can live

pleasantly and contentedly on half of

it. You ought to rejoice at the pros-pect

of acquiring such a splnded

father-in-law! Now, give me your

hand."

Half hesitatingly, Hagen gave it.

"Could I have anticipated this, I

would never have asked you to visit

me." he said, half grumbling a-ni yet

smiling.

"I thoroughly believe it," laughed

Brose.

"Now, let us remain good friends. I

am also free to confess that besides

your mother-in-law, I have had much

satisfaction in making the acquaint-ance

of your wine. Do not let the

brand be exhausted, and I will coime

often in the future to pay you a visit."

The friends separated perfectly rec-onciled.

But Hagen still needed some

hours to comipare notes with himself

before he had accustomed himself to

the thought that ne, too, could learn

to live on half the estate and be

happy.

To Hear Wlatlstone.

We remained in Liverpool until Mon-day

evening to hear Mr. Gladstone's

speech, writes Mrs. Henry Ward Beech-er

in the August Brooklyn Magazine,

and accordingly, two hours before the

meeting was to open, we started for

the large hall where the "grand old

man" was to address the populace.

Even at that early hour we found en-trance

difficult. As Mr. Beecher's tick-et

placed him on the plattorm, we

parted company at the door, and

committing us to the care of Maj.

Pond, he left with no fear that with

such a stalwart attendant we should

have any difficulty in reaching

the seats our tickets called for.

But at the first step we were hem-med

in by a crowd suih as we nev-er

met before. Every one has

read and heard of the densely packed

English crowds which can be gathered

on special occasions, and of the com-pact

and irresistable power which an

English mob can show. We thought

we knew something of its meaning.

But our poor gifts of description ut-terly

fail us here. Heaven defend us

from being ever so closely wedged in

again! No room to take one step;

packed so crushingly that the chest

has not room to expand sufficiently

to enable us to draw one full breath.

But the crowd behind pressed with

ever increasing power on those who

were held immovable in Iront, and

inch by inch bore them forward, utter-ly

powerless to resist. It is well for

all that the packing was so effectually

done that there was no room to fall,

or hundreds must have been crushed

to death. Maj. Pond's great height

and broad shoulders alone kept us

from suffocation; and at last, when

well-nigh exhausted, we were lifted

over the rope that barred an

entrance and dropped into our seat,

where for an hour and a half we

sat, before the meeting was opened,

watching the terrible struggle of others,

less fortunate, vainly attempting to

force their way to some resting-place.

Once inside the building, there was no

escape; it was just as impossible to

return as to go forward.

At last the surging mass of human

beings became partially stationary.

There was no longer room to move; re-sistance

was in vain. Then, one by

one, those who were to occupy the

platform emerged from their well

guarded waiting room and ce me on to

the platform. With each ,. sh ar-rival

that huge assembly broke into

cheers and shouts. We had just

passed the ordeal of a British crowd;

now we were to learn the strength and

endurance of British lungs. We have,

in our day, heard some cheering and

shouting in America, btft we must

humbly yield the palm in this par-ticular

to our brethren across the

water. We have certainly at last

seen and heard all that can be accoinm-plished

in an enthusiastic English

gathering. If actuated by angry, dis-cordant

passions, how fearful must

lave been the results!

Eating a Sermon and a Miracle.

Every one, says Prof. Matthieu-Will-iams

in one of his lectures on the

"Chemistry of Cookery," who eatshis

matutional egg eats a sermon and a

miracle. Inside of this smoothb sym-metrical,

beautiful shell lurks a ques-tion

which has been the Troy town for

all the philosophers and scientiat

since Adam. Armed with the engines

of war-the microscope, the scales,

the offensive weapons of chem-istry

and reason-they have

probed and weighed and experi-mented

and still the questior

is unsolved, the citadel unsacked.

Prof. Bokorny can tell you that

albumen is composed of so many

molecules of carbon ard nitrogen and

hydrogen, and can persuade you ol

the difference between active and pas-sive

albumen, and can show by won-derfully

delicate experiments what the

aldehydes have to do in the separa-tion

of gold from his complicated

solutions; but he can't tell you why

from one egg comes a "little rid hin,"

and from another a bantam. You

leave your little silver spoon an houm

in your egg-cup and it is cojted

with a compound of sulphur. Why is

that sulphur there? Wonderful, that

evolution should providefor the bones

of the future hen! There is phosph-rus

also in that little microcosm, and

the oxygen of the air, passing through

the shell, unites with it, and the acid

dissolves the shell, thus making good

strong bones for the chick, and at the

same time thinning the prisoh walls.

Chemists know a good deal about al-bumen,

and if they cannot tell us why

life differentiates itself therein and

thereby, they can tell you how not to

spoil your breakfast.

A Lion Tamer's Escape.

From the Pall Mall Gazette.

The fascinated Englishman who is

said to have followed about for ten

years, Bidel, the celebrated lion tamer,

and to have watched his every per-formance

in the expectation of wit-nessing

the inevitable accident, bas

at last met with a part of his reward.

A few nights ago Bidel was attacked

and disarmed by his performing lion'

Sultan, who fourteen years ago signal-ized

his arrival in Paris by killing a

man. The brute stood over his mas-ter

and proceeded to get to work with

his claws, when Bidel raised himself,

and getting well under Sultan, by an

almost superhuman strength, hurled

him off through the open door of a

ca,,e, which was promptly clo.i. It

was found that the tamer had seven.

teen wounds on his neck and shoul.

ders; but notwithstanding lie presented

himself before the spectators, stream-ing

with blood as he was, and pro.

posed to continue the exhibition, and

show that he and not Sultan was

really master. This was, of course,

not permitted; but the performances

have recommenced, and the English-man,

if he is not released Iromn the

spell, will probably still have exten-sive

opportunities of studying the

ways of performing lions..:;',,: (;oAt Jt:J:VOi'OLY : / ,~.LI W .'IBI ,.EA.,SERPEN7' TO OUR PATRONS': PaOpe

largely controled and adininis-tered

in the interests of a favored

few to the injury of many less

favored, though composing the

most numerous and equally de-serving

class; that the old politi-gal

tools of designing men and com-binations

of men; that political

corruption prevails in our legis-lative

wealth exercises a demoral-izing

influenge- over legislation,

both Stte and National; that

the people are suffering under

he weight of unequal and un-just

burdens, the result of offic-ial

ADDRESS OF THE PEOPLE'S PARTY

TO THEi PEOPLE F WISCONSIN:

The emergencies of the day require in-dependent

political action on the part ol

the producing classes, if the aggressions of

incorporated capital and overbearing mo-bhopolies

are to be checked.

It is needless to enumerate all the evil

engendered by the system of selfishness

and greed now existing in the country.

the ruling parties have become minachiue to

foster politiciani' anmbition and feste*

piililcai corruption. The monepolists con

'rol phliti-', and politicians havo become

the servile tools of the money power.

Manhood and honor occupy secondary po

sitiona, while giant corporations secure not

only all the legislation they desire, but the

.iactive co-opetation of public officials 1,y

enorcing their arbitrary demands wheilit-ustified

we caun devote to such purpose. It is ce,

tain all the great buildings will be filled tt

theil utmost capacity. Articles of beamu.,

and Uaafulneas in great variety will dec

the fruits ot the earth will exceed any ever

before made in the north-west. The ladl

of the state will contribute liherally of tin

work of their expert hands, and the aobt.

to the immense exposition specimens

of stock, fruits, etc. Novelties and late

impiovements in labor-saving farm ma-chinery

will be exhibited in endless variety

and Machinery Row will be emiielished by

several new private show buildings.

The society, feeling that the approval of

a great and generous public will support

it in increased efforts to prepare a harvest

festival for 1886, befiting the proud renown

of Minnesota, offers about $15,000 in pre-miums,

prizes being catalogued for nearly

one hundred different classes. Besides the

munificent premiums offered lor family

and draftt horses, the managers will disttib-ute

$15,000 in purses to trotting, pacing

and running horees, and these liberal offer-ings

will not be confluined to the trained

flyers, but a generous share will be offered

for fast stock bred at home. In fact, these

The supplementary attractions within

the grounds will be of the most novel and

entertaining character. One of the finest

features will be the magniticent pauorama

of the battle of Gettysburg, the most won-deilnl

painting in the world. To desc-ib

it is impossible, for no language can ex-preps

the sensations produced by the re-mariable

picture. It will occupy a struc-ture

located.

There will be a grand shooting tourna-ment

in which the greatest shots of the

country will participate, and a host of

other attractions suited to all tastes.

The Weight of Mik tand Cream.

At the London health exhibition

they 0call skimmed milk' "'separated"

milk. To be sure this is anything but

stale milk. The cream begins to sepa-rate

before the new milk grows cold.

It is put into a revolving machine that

is said to go round 7,000 times a min-ute,

and by the application of centrifu-gal

force the cream, being lighter, flies

to the top, collects in a kind of cup,

which is poured off into a separate pail.

New milk, freed from its cream while

yet perfectly fresh, is a very different

article from the thin and rapidly sour-'ig

fluid that has "stood" in pans for

tbe cream to rise.

The weight of milk is another point

that offers some neat tests for scrutiny.

The averag weight of milk is set down

Ma from 1,026 to 1,035, compared with

the same bulk of water at 1,000.

Watered milk is therefore lighter, but

milk that is rich in cream is also light

in comparison, because cream is lighter

than milk. "The specific gravity and

the cream,' says a correspondent at the

health exhibition, "have to be taken

into aocount together. The proportion

c-f cream again is measured by very fine

tests. The cream should be from 6-100

to 11-100; it is generally about 8-100;

in the milk of Alderney cows it will

reach 30-100 to 40-100.- Chicago Jowr-naL.

Soup Before Meat.

The stomach will not so readily digest

solid substances when these are taken

alone as when they are preceded on the

digestive journey by soup. The bread

which is eaten with the soup will be

converted into dextrin in the mouth,

and the essentials of the soup, on reach-ing

the stomach, will apparently supply

the little glands of the organ with the

power to manufacture the pepsin of the

gaetsk juice in due quantity. It would

seem, ft truth, as if these glands de-mnted

of the answer, itdiotivTe of a character

as free from assumption as fro'a bash-fulness,

pleased the Commander-in-Chief,

himself one of the most modest

and self-reliant of men. He appointed

Kosciusko a Colonel of Engineers, in

which responsible position he justified

Washington's sagacity, and was made

one of his aids-do-camn,

Washington was eeldom mistaken in

his judgment of men, and Kosciusko's

subsequent career in Poland proved

that the American commander's confi--

dence in the modest Pole was not mis-placed.

In the Polish insurrection he

commanded 20,000 regular troops and

40,000 poorly armed peasants, and with

this force resisted for months the 10,-000

knows that he was taken prisoner at the

capture of Warsaw, having fallen from

his horse, covered with wounds, and

whispering, "The end of Poland I"

When Paul became Czar the Polish

patriot was released from prison. The

Emperor handed him his own sword.

"Sire, I have no more need of a sword,

as I have no longer a country," said

Kosciusko, declining the gift.

He settled on a farm in France.

When the allied armies were marching

toward Paris, a Polish regiment, form-ing

the advance guard of the Russians,

began foraging in a village near Kos-ciusko's

farm. The troops wantonly

outraged the property of the villagers,

and their officers looked on. Suddenly

a man in the dress of a French farmer I1 --- 3 A- *- 1. * 1

ordered inem, in ineir own language, to stop their ravages. Ofticers and

men gathered about -lim, surprised to

hear Polish spoken by one who was

apparently a Frenchman, and indig-nant

at his presumption in ordering

them.

"When I commandes the army,'

said the stranger, ignoring their looks

of astonishment and wrath, "of which

your regiment is a part, I punished

severely such acts as your officers sanc-tion.

Had I the command now I would

not unish the soldiers, but you."

"Who are you?" demanded the

colonel of the regiment, indignant at

being lectured by an unknown man.

"I am Kosciusko," answered the

stranger.

Instantly every hat was removed,

and officers andl privates, doing homage

to the modest patriot, retired from the

village at his request. The Emperor

Alexander, hearing of the. incident,

sent a Russian guard of honor to pro-tect

Kosciusko's farm from foragers

and camp-followers.

When the Polish patriot died, two or

three years after the fall of Paris, the

same emperor ordered his remains to

be removed to Cracow and laid side by

What Cripples the Balloon,

When Mr. Coxwell was asked, "How

long can gas be retained in a balloon ?*

he replied, "No balloon has ever gone

over a second sunset. I will tell you

why," he went on. "The moment the

sun goes down the gas condenses and

you get through the night better than

the day. But thie next day, in the

presence of the sun, the gas expands

and you mount to great elevations,

but every mount the calloon makes

cripples its power and it is only a ques-tion

of hours, if not minates, how long

you can keep up. It is the loss of

the eternal 'king of day' which is the

mischief. If an aeronaut could have

forty-eight hours of night he could

travel a great distance." Mr. Coxwell

also mentioned that the highest

rate of speed hli had over attained, even

with a Arong wind blowing, was eighty

miles an hour.-—-Ierview wivth Aero-naut

ivory, or bone, was used for writing on

wax tablets. The style was unsuitabla

for holdi g a luid, hence a species of

reed was cmplo- ed for writing on parch-ments.

Those styles and reeds were

careftilly kept in ca es, and the writers

had a ;pong •, Knife, an l pumniL e-stone,

compasses for measuring, scissors for

cutting, a puuc':eon tc point out the

beginning and tite end of each line, a

rule to draw and divide the lines into

columns, a glass contain ng sand, and

another with writing-fluid. These were

the chief iniplements used for centurie

to register facts and events. Reeds

continued to be us-ed tiU the eighth cen-tury,

prepared to say what other ingredients

were used or how it was manufactured,

but these ancient manuscripts prove

that the ink was of a superior descrip-tion.

Ped, purple, silver-, and gold inks

were also nsed. The red was made from vermilion and carmine, the purple from

especially the gold and silver varieties,

was an extensive and lucrative businem.

Ion Lemons and Health.

l A good deal has been said throun

iththe papers about the healthfulness

be- lemons. The latest advice is how

.ly use them so that they will do the me

ed good, and is as follows: Most peoe

ne know the benefit of lemonade befo

d, breakfast, but few know that it is mo

than doubled by taking another at nig he also. The way to get the better of t

air bilious system without blue pills n- quinine is to take the juice of one, tw

tt or three lemons, as appetite craves,

at as much ice water as makes it pleasa

ss to drink without sugar before going

ue bed. In the morning, before rising,

r- least half an hour upon breakfast, tae

a the juice of one lemon in a goblet

ly water. This will clear the system

er humor and bile with efficiency witho

of any of the weakening effects of cal

rs mel or congress water. People shou

ne not irritate the stomach by eati)

ie Hideous and Weird Scenes with c

Which They Oelebrete the 24th s'

of June. i is

The Voudoo Queen. " fi e:

The New Orleans correspondent of

ie Nashville Union writes: Those t

hio are not thoroughly familiar with

e cosmopolitan population that fills

e ancient city will find it hard to be- t

eve that in the nineteenth century, ir

ith all our boasted enlightenment, t

e charms and spells of voudoo still

ye a powerful influence over the h

inds of many in this remote corner of B

e nation. To be sure, the supersti- ta

)n is most prevalent among the noe-

•oes, nearly all of whoia are believers t

the power of the "voudoo" man for

il, but there are many white people--

the least intelligent class, of course

who hold the charms of this peculiar th

il genius in great awe. l

The voudoo queen, Marie Leveau,

ed years and years ago, and since her

mise the followers of the horrible

ith have diminished in numbers, 0

ough the belief seems to have grown f

ronger in the breasts of those who

rvive. The tales that have been told a

the weird scenes witnessed in the bi

'amps on the shores of Lake Pontch- ki

train on the day sacred to voudoo- .

. John's eve, the 24th of June-must a

t be all attributed to fancy, for that a

ese scenes have occurred I can my-

If bear witness, having had ocular t

monstrations of their truth. n

The present queen of the voudoos is

little, shriveled old negress, a dwarf fl,

stature and a monstrosity in mal-

•mation, who lives in a little hut in g

s swamp half a mile back from the

ad leading along the shores of the sa

ie between Spanish fort and Meilne- se rg. Her name is Alice Lesoner, but

r faithful followers call her only

he mother." In the midst of rags

d squalor, in a room not six feet

uare, she lives the life of a hermit,

ne knowing of her existence save th

me half-dozen old darkies, men and

imen, who believe devoutly in her

wer as to do the nuns in the teach-es

of good Archbishop Leray. Thcse by mble believers carry food and drink da

regular intervals to the mother, and i

least one of them keeps guard in

mnt of the hut night and day that the

cred presence of the queen may not g to entered by unbelievers. t

High revel is held by the voudoos on

John's eve. Early in the evening,

the shadows of the live oaks are'

igthening and the hooting of the owl ne

ingles with the swish of the alliga-•

as hlie tosses to and fro in the slug- th

h waters of the Bayou St. John, the G

lowers of voudoo silently gather fr

out the hut of old Alice Lesouer and P

'pare for the annual propitiation of

feared deity. Tradition tells of to

man sacrifices on these occasions; a

t tradition is not always reliable, and w

ias probably drawn the long bow on TI

s subject. The voudoos are silent a

id quiescent; only a few of the l

Lunger ones are stirring, and these w

iw up a pirogue or canoe, from the ab

you's surface, and unload lightwood fi

ots tied into fagots, bottles of bran- m 9~~~

, and dozens of small packages, done sic

in parchment, aad anything but fa

reeable in odor. The last thing to d

taken from the pirogue is an imr- g

ruse iron pot, holding probably ten h

lions. The work is carried on slow- hi

and by the time the task of unload- wO

the small boat is finished the night to

s worn to 11 o'clock, and the moon cu

es high in the heaven, casting a to

ostly light over the swamps and fai

aking all things look unearthly. The to

ie knots are piled ia circular form, ex

iron caldron placed upon them, and wr

match applied. As the fire begins to ne

mrn briskly the negroes squat about it an

a circle, and begin a, low, monoton- tin

s chant in a language that none but do

imselves understand. Fresh wood ex

piled upon the flames and the water

the pot begins to seethe and bubble re

Ider the heat. Suddenly the negroes w

e to their feet as by one impulse, and ie'

t as the caldron boils the midnight air

)mn of the clock in afar-awaysteeple thi

heard. With the sound a complete ho

nsformation comes over the vou- thi

os. The door of the hut is thrown Thi

en, and, supported by two women as an

ly, old, and misshapen as herself, Cl

queen of the voudoos steps out into sel

are of the fire. The circle about thie pa

• opens, and the negroes fall back pc'

til they all face the queen. She stt

ses her hand, chatters a few words the

the patois of French and Spanish Cl

own as "gumbo," and the negroes un

I prono upon their faces. The us

sen steps up to the caldron, empties let

3 of the bottles of brandy into it and and

s fire to the liquid. As it burns with shn

lue llame, she breaks open one of co)

packages done up in parchment to

i slowly pours its conteuts into the gu

andy flames. A powerful, yet not na

agreeable odor rises, and as

burns with a reddish green cai

me the queen shrieks out an

f a dozen words in "gumbo;" which ed

echoed by the prostrate negroes. a t

s heard thie piping treble of the queen, s

rho, like the others, dances about the d

waiting for the queen to regain con- t

ciousness. When this comes she is •

aken in charge by the two old women

'ho first attended her and seated on fi

he ground a little distance away. The t

aldron is lifted off the fire, fresh fuel w

ut on, and as the blaze again leaps d

pward a perfect representation of c

he witches' scene in "Macbeth" fol-ows,

only there are more than Shaks-eare's

number of witches, and some

f these are of the masculine persua- d

on. One by one they approach the fire, c

ie rest. The liquor is evidently drug- a

ed for the occasion, for no boisterous- o

ass follows the copious draughts. A t

core of bottles are emptied, and one tl

These memories have been raised by Q

e recent death here of a young man, A

eorge A. Forschler, under what his

lends solemnly assert was a "hoodoo" m

ell.

The young man had what appeared b

be paralysis, his limbs were stiffened,

id he declared that a train of cars

ere racing up and down in his head.

he firm belief of the victim's friends d

id relations was that lie was under

e spell of some emissary of voudoo,

ho had buried some charm or fetish a

iout his premises to kill him. When

st taken sick his symptoms were o

erely those of a bad cold, and a phy- T

;ian was called in, but his medicine

iled of effect. Then an old negro L

ictor was consulted, who, after dia- 1

losing the case, declared that the man ol

id "been given something to hurt

in." On St. John's eve Forschler a

is sent for by the negro doctor to go

the lake and bathe, and he would be fg

red. The sick man was carried out

the lake, but the colored physician

iled to appear. It was now determined

call in a medical man whose skill was

tensive enough to combat the spell

•ought by the voudoo. Another th

gro. Dr. Clapion was brought to him,

id he emphatically stated with hesita-)

n that the sick man had been "hoo-ri3

v 1X7What M„nw—n3 iq c:.vim in th., toed." What followed is given in the

act language of Forschler's father.

"On the 25th inst., in the evening, I

quested Mr. Clapion to see if there Pet

as anything like a voudoo fetish bur- 0

I on the premises. Mr. Clapion ex- Pa

ained the premises, and found that P 1

ere was something buried under the T

Use, and that it was necessary to cut

e flooring to get at the buried fetish. pr

uis was dlone by one of my- employes, ki

id, after half an hour's work, Mr. to

apion caused the charm to show it-ilf,

and took it out. It consisted of a wi

ckage showing red silk cord, wrap-d

around gold leaf, stuck full of large hei

el needles In all kinds of positions, ar

a whole enveloping a bottle. Mr. ca

apion took hold of the package and tr

.wrapped it. fhe silk cord was of un- of

ual length, fully sixty feet. Time gold an

if was folded square in four folds, hl

d the needles rudely represented the pri

ape of a star. The bottle was un- m

rked by Mr. Clapion, who found it

contain a mixture of vinegar and

inpowder, with other substance whose

Lture was not ascertained." gr

The charm, or fetish, was carefully er

rried to the river, sealed up in a can su

d weighted with bricks, and deposit-in

the rapidly-flowing waters. For we

imnc the patient improved, but Clapi- rt

declared that the fetish had been

mrking evil so long that lie could not

ercome its influence, and sure enough

e next day the man died. hi

and his powers:

"I was the son-in-law of Marie Le- <

veau, queen of the vouodoos, who died

several years ago. I learned at her

house to exercise the power of the gift t

I had received, and since then I have c

studied the art. I never do harm to

anyone, nor no I charge a cent for my

services. When I am called I go and

dlo not ask for recompense. My trade

is that of house and sign painting, but (

if my services to heal the sick or ac-complish

some good actware needed, I b

am always ready. I do not profess M

medicine as a calling." J

Every member of the dead man's

family, as well as hundreds of his

friends, believe that he met his death A

bhrough a voudoo enemy's power, and

they are talking of urging the anthori- t

lies to institute a rigid search for the 1

"murderer." n The most remarkable part of this af-

fair is that the Forschbler family are in- t

elligent and educated. The dead man r

was a skilled pharmacist, and kept a

Liabilities of Dog Owners.

A savage dog is a possession which

lemands from its owner extraordinary

care. Knowing, or being in law pre- j

rumed to know, the dangerous nature el of the property he has in charge, the

owner will be held liable for all damage,

lirect or indirect, which may be caused ,h

by such property. It has, however, ,

been held that the fact that a dog is

known to be savage, and that it has at-tacked

animals, is not enough to make

ts owner liable to a man who is bitten

by it, unless he can show that such

)wner had knowledge of the dog's pro- r

pensity to bite men. A ferocious dog, A

lccustomed to bite mankind, ia a p

nuisance; and, if found at large, may

)e killed by any one. But he must not

be killed on his owner's premises, un-

ess about to attack some one. A dog R

sot naturally savage will sometimes

bite, and in such cases his owner's

iability will depend on the facts of the

case. If the dog, "to gain some pri- g

rate ends," has chosen to bite an unof-

ending man or beast, his owner must f

may for it; but if a person will not "let

sleeping dog lie," or otherwise teases d

ir provokes the animal and Is bitten

Powell is the idol of the Winnebago

tribe. Why? because they all know him

and to know him, is to hold him in high

regard. Is it a dishonor to have the

good will of those who know you?

We would suggest this, if a newspaper

arrays itself in battle against a party or

a man, that it should use argument

that can be backed by good sound rea-son

and none other.The people think as

well as read ihese days.

We notice that H. Luthe is one of the

delegates to the state convention of

labor men at Neenah. Tiie labor con-vention

is all right but to instruct men

for Powell is all wrong-On,;laska Re-cord.

Well friend Moran, it is very strange

that a man of your intelligence

should announce that to instruct men for

Powell is all wrong. A few years ago

you thoueht it was all right to instruct

men for certain other men who were

democrats, wanting the nomination for

county office, * * but, oh no! it is a

down right wrong, to instruct men for

Powell because he represents the masses

and not the old political rings. Moran,

consult your bump 4f consistancy.

While in Milwaukee last Monday, the

News man was asked how many negro

voters resided in La Crosse county. He

replied, "Fifteen or twenty, probably;

why?" "Because," said his interrogatori

'the county Labor convention, I notice,

elected two as delegates to the conven

tion at Neenah. We supposed, down

here, that you had at least 500 of that

class, and could account for such action

only in that way. I am glad you have no

more."

Well Mr. News man, suppose you

think you've got a horse on the two

negroes this time. To your Milwaukee

interrogator (If Milwaukee is cursed with

such a personage) we can only say this,

it speaks well for the two negroes under

the circumstances, don't it?

As for you, newsy, suppose you in-formed

:the interrogator that you -were

thrown out of a smaller kettle than the

county convention, by this same Labor

party here in La Crosse, while the

negro still lives? If you had only

had the presence of mind to extend your

inger so mat your quizzer coulo see

under your flnger nails, he would have

undoubtedly remarked that judging from

present appearence, "Mr. Newsman"

you are blacker than either of those

negroes above mentioned.

All is not gold that glitters, is it newsy?

The Chicago anarchists are doomed.to

hang, with the exception of one who wil

spend the balance of his natural life in

the penitentiary.

The lesson taught by the recent verdict

upon these infuriated fiends will un-doubtedly

be enough to scare any others

of the same ilk from ever attempting to

demonstrate their sentiments of dynamo,

socialism, nihilism or anarchism again.

It may be all right in England, Ireland

or Russia but it wont work in free Amer-ica.

We have no sympathy for the anarchist

and no time for socialism. Although the

Knights of Labor are blamed for the

trouble caused by these red flaged

barbarians, still it is well known that

there is no society -of men in this country

based upon better principles than the

Knights. What we want in this conntry is

Men, law abiding men. If the laws are

not just and equitable, don't violate

them, but change them.

This government is for the ~people, and

if the people are not satisfiec with the

laws and they fail to attempt to have

them changed it is the peoples fanlt.

Our motto is, abide by the law, oppose

anything that even tends towards soci-alism

or anarchism, strike with your

vote and boycott the ballot box.

Brother Read tries to correct George

Taylor's so called statement with regard

to the number of counties in the state.

Well it is unnecessary for us to deny that

Read's statement is true, for the reader

can see that if Read had, as he mus

have, a week to look up the record of

the state, and made as big a mistake hi

giving the actual number of counties as

he did make when he said that there are

-"I .. A... afuf. A : i... ft_ t....;__.._ the _.

only sixty-five counties in the state, that

he would certainly have stretched any re-mark

that Taylor might make, all the

way from North La Crosse to Milwaukee.

Brother R., if you have no facilities for

ascertaining the number of counties in

Wisconsin, come over and we will fit you

out.

The prohibitionists of this district have

nominated for congressman, L. B.

Loomis, of Richland. Mr. Loomis ia a

noted temperance lecturer, and will

probably mount the stump, but while

it is proper that all persons who do not

desire to encourage the trafic of liquor

should neither taste, touch nor handle it,

still we are inclined to think that the

prohibition party will have many years

of hard struggling and at last be forced

to give up in dispair.

The Hon, W. T. Price, of Black River

Falls, was nominated for congressman

of the eight district to succeed himself.

Mr. Price is certainly the most temperete,

conservative and able man, that the re-publicans

of the eight congressional

district could find.

The people should boycott the press

that upholds capitalistic, despotism, lock

out the politicians that do its bidding

and a ray of industrial suns hine giving

them pomise for the future wil be the

The rrince was so utterly dumfounded

he knew not what to say. On seeing the

large army at the palace the Prince was

compelled to surrender, though he bit-terly

denounced the foul action of the

traitors.

The rebels demanced that Alexande.

sign a formal abdication of the throne,

but with strong resolution he refused to

do so, and they proceeced to transfer

him to Reni, where he was landed a

prisoner.

The garrison at Philippopolis have

taken uparms in'defence of Alexander.

The country is wild with commotion, war

is sure to follow. Beyond doubt the

Prince will overcome the rebels and re-possess

the throne.

Alexander's British Friends.

London, Aug. 26.-J. Fergenson, Ur-der

Foreign Secretary, said in Commons

this afternoon that loyal troops entered

Sofia, Tueseay, with the consent of the

Powers. The exact whereabouts of Al-exander,

the Secretary said, was un-known

to the British government, but

telegrams have been forwarded inviting

him to return and resume rule in Bul-garia.

No Hope For Alexrnder.

Reni, Aug. 26-The Czar has ordered

that:Alexander be forwarded to Kissineff,

if lie refuses tv accept his abdication as

an accomplished fact. The towns of

Bulgaria are decked with flags and the re

is general rejoicing at the overthrow of

the rebels.

______________________ a

rthe Prince Safe.

London. Aug. 26.-The British Foreign

office has been informed that Prince Al-exander

is safe and free and is on his way

home. in Darmsdat. The dispatches

state that after being conveyed out of

Bulgaria, the Prince was set free at

Reni. It is believed that when Alexan-der

learns of the counter-revolution in

his favor he will at once return to Sofial

His presence there it is believed, wil. quell all disorder, and restore peace to

the country.

The Belfast Troubles.,

Belfast, Aug. 26.-Everything is quiet

to-day. Huge paving stones and broKen

glass mark the scene of last night's riot.

Rev. Dr. Kane, protestant clergyman,

who declared that unless the police are

immediately disarmed two hundred

thousand Oranagmen would relieve

them of their weapons, is again out with

a declaration charging the magistrate of

Belfast with "criminal parleying with

lawlessness."

A DEMOCRATI C IMODEG.

esnbers of the Knifts or Labor and

Workingmnen Beware.

Both of the old political parties are

busily engaged, setting traps in which

to catch Labor votes. To be sure-this is

tnot the year for a national campaign, but

he professional politician is aware that

the various state elections to come off

this fall will indicate to a considerable

certainty how the next presidential elec-tion

will vo. Sinrfce Wisconsin is leadlinz

the other states in the Labor movement

it behooves the old wire workers to ke( p

their eagle eye upon the Badger atate

and they are doing it.

Note what a commotion the demo-cratic

congressional comrn mittee at Wash

ington, are making over to a certain

printing firm, to whom they have

awarded the printing of their campaign

political documents. They claim that

they have just discovered that the firm

don't employ union printers, and that

they are boycotted by Knigts of Labor.

In view of this fact, they are now pre-tending

to break their contract with the

firm. Why? because they, the com-mittee

don't care an i-o-t, whether the

printers are rats or journamen printers?

No, but because they know that the

Knights of Labor are a powerful body.

They think that if they ventilate the fact

that they are Pot satisfied to have this

firm do the work, that they will have

set a trap in which they can catch the

Knights of Labor.

Another scheme is that of Secretary

Lamar's late dicision on the Farm

Mortgage case that has become so noted

here in Wisconsin, The dicission

overrules the dicision of General Land

Commissioner Sparks. This dicision is

very lavvtrtue Lt a greatl malln.y l1trlmler

who hold titles as the guarantees of the

Farm Mortgage company which Com-missioner

Sparks had refused. But who

is so dumb that he can't see the scheme?

You see that Lamar is a democrat. the

dicision applies particularly to Wisconsin

the workingmen including the farmers

have got the inside track in Wisconsin,

and the democrats are hungry to get it.

Do you see ? Your dicision is very good

democracy, but we know your tricks as

well as we know those of the republicans.

The bate is to stale.

To the workingmen and farmers of the

state of Wisconsin, we desire to say that

in THE LABOR ADVOCATE they will find

a paper that is ever ready to defend their

cause and proclaim justice for all classes.

We do not believe in monopolising

the affairs of the public in favor of the

laboring classes, for the same reason that

we are opposed to the present monop-olistic

system of our government affairs.

Those who are in sympathy with the

Labor or independent movement in this

state will find it to their advantage to

subscribe for THE ADVOCATE. And to

those here in the city who were sub.

sribers to the Star, believing it was what

it proved not to be, namely: The

advocate of the Labor party, will find

THE ADVOCATE to be what the Star was

supposed to have been. A real advo-cate

of the principles of the Labor party.

Send in your snbscriptions for a year or

six months and we shall endavor to give

3am vale reoeive.

olstrengrn 1 11in ls Ilml;eIate S :istrtit,

the probability is that he stands a very

poor show of being noticed in the con-vention.

Jonas will certainly be the

democratic candidate for governor. The

Labor party is fast gaining strength,

Nearly every county in the state has

alreadp taken steps to send a drlegation

to the state convention which meets at

Nenah, the 16th of September. While

there are are three or four men who

have been mentioned as probable candi-dates,

still there is but one who seems to

meet the wishes of the Labor party.

Bouk nevor has announced himself a

candidate, nor has he ever said or inti-mated

officially that he wcu d be willing

to subscribe his name to the principles

of the Labor party. No one knows

that he would accept the nomination

should he get it. while every true mem-ber

of 'the paily is satisfied that lie is no

the mian to represent anyother than the

ironclad party of democracy. Bou ck's

name is "no goad" with the Laoor party

As for Stowell and Jonas, either or both

would probably be glad to accept the

nomination of the Labor party, if by do-ing

so they could better serve the "'pure

democracy". Under any other circum-stances

they could and would not accept

any honors at the hands of the poor be

nighted laborers.

The earnestly engaged representatives

of the party, are working for a better end

than that of selling out the party, and

the conclusion is to tlue with no party

but to place in the field a straight La

bor ticket. It is generally conceded ir

nearly every strong-hold of the state tha

Dr. Frank Powell of this city stands alon

; to-day as the candidate before the

Neenah convention. That the doctor i

eminently able, and earnestly interested

in the great cause of labor reform no on,

who knows him can deny. The only

great opposition that he will meet with

will be from those who are deeply inter

ested in .he success of one of the oli

parties. They will bitterly oppose hi!

nomination because they realize that he

is the strongest man that the Labor par

ty could possibly settle upon. If Powel

is the nominee, the entire western ant

northern portion of the state wil

roll up a surprisingly large majority fo

him, Milwaukee and the southern palt c

the state will not be far behind.

It is the opinion of the ADVOCATE tha

with Powell at the head, the Labor part

of Wisconsin will have a flattering shov

to elect their ticket. Only a few week

more and we will see such a ticket.

QRu RRIES

e Why did the Democratic State centra

h committee call their state conventio

s to be held one day earlier than th

- Labor convention? Is it to give them

t chance to hew out a few Labor plank

and match them into their own celebrat

ed pliable platform,so that they may selec

their cock-eyed candidate with his righ

eye firmly fixed upon the Labor conver

tion at Neenah, and his left eye nervous

ly blinking as he views the "pure" dem<

cracy and realizeshow strong the prohib

tion party is, and how light is the ho

crop?

How can a person read the New

without seeing the paper? Answer, b

reading the Morning Chronicle, Milwau

kee journal and a few other Democra

papers

Who has the reputation of being th

only consistent laboringman in L

Crosse?

Why has the Chronicle fallen in lov

with George M. Read?

What did you say? Pshaw! That

nothing new, everybody knows tha

Read is dancing to the music of th

Democtatic party?

Why do all of our shrudest politiciar

of both old parties advise the working

men to stay with their former party? Ar

you not aware that the laborers have

large majority over all other parties?

Why does Cleveland disregard th

Democratic party so much, and thu

place himself in such an awkwaad pos

tion ?

bDo oyou think our president is assleep

'Think you that he is ignorant of the fac

that it is only a matter of time when th

Labor party shall govern the nation?

Does it stand to reason, etc., etc., etc.,

-Mil. Journal.

Oh! Thou mcdest, unselfish' unas

suming journal.

Why don't you, you dear independen

creature, explain things as they reall

are, when you refer to the independen

Labor party? Why don't you use Powel

with the same fairness, that you extent

to your assimulative democratic Bouck

Oh! no, you are too independent to speal

well of any man who dosen't belong to

democracy. Does it stand to reason?

If Rusk desires, he may advise his

party, and should Jonas or Walker

choose they may teach their party. Bu

if Powell desires to speak concerning the

Labor party. The sound of battle -i

heard, and treason is the cry. Should

not the Workingmen listen to their lead

er?

Does it stand to reason?

If a certain North La Crosse editor is

so deeply interested in the success of the

Labor party, why is that lie never attacks

both the old parties in the defense of the

Labor party.

Is it true that George M. Reed is trying

to establish a .weekly paper at West

Salem, so that he can have a new party

of his own out there?

Why is it that the democratic party oi

Wisconsin are so much more anxious tc

marry the Labor party than the Republi.

cans? Don't you know that the demo-crats

are in the manority.

geographically, was elected.

Several of the persons elected to these

positions are afraid that they would suffer

in their business relations if their names

were published. They were consequent-ly

withheld from the press.

A Newspaper Man In Trouble.

Cincinnati, Aug. 26.-Allen 0. Myers,

managing editor of the Enquirer, was

arrested at that office shortly after two

this morning and taken to the central

police station, where he was locked up

on a charge of being a fugitive from jus-tice.

The arrest was made by order of

Mayor Smith, who is In Columbus. and

who telegraphed that Myers was wanted

en a charge of perjury and that an officer

and warrant were on the way to Cincin-nati.

Myers was at the Columbus con-venlion

yesterday and swore out a war-rant

charging ex-Auditor Coppillar, of

this city, with bribery in conection with

his election on the Republican State

committee. Coppillar on his release had

a warrant issued for the arrest of Myers,

for perjury. Myers was released on a

thousand dollar bail about 3' o'clock this

m orning.

Chicazo, Aug. 26.-Fifteen representa-tives

of the largest manulactories in this

and adjoining states began a session

here to-day to consider the best method

of securing the ab flishing of convict

contract labor. J. J. Lewis, ot Racine,

Wis., was elected Chairman. He de

dared that the employment of convici

labor was as serious a menace to man

ufacturers as to laborers. He advo

cated that the convicts should be em

ployed upon the public roads. Aftei

listening to a series of prison statistic!

the session adjourned until 2 o'clock.

The Knights of Labor are increasing

in membership at the rate of 5,000 pei

week. If the monopolists believe

the Knights of Labor don't amount t(

. much, just wait awhile.

s There are about 25,000 members of the

I K. of L. in Western Pensylvania, and a

many more workingmen who will joi

is "busted." We announce to the public

that we had no connection with the

Star at the time it ceased. We suggest

that, In view of the fact that the Star has

got the advantage of so many honest

people in the city, and that there are yet

some bills outstanding in its favor, an d

an ajuster should be appointed to collect

the bills and pay to those whom the Sta r

owes. The Star don't owe us anything

An AndIent Dude.

fmusing as is the custom of the momb

an dude, it is prosaic in comparison

with the outre suits worn by the dan-dies

of other days. At the Internatiob-1I

Health Exhibiton, the fop ofthe

time of Richard IL was shown:

He wore a long gown belted at the

waist, with a purse hanging at the es,

and this gown had sleeves gatBhre50o

a puff on the shoulder and hanaing .o

within six inches of the ground, ith

deep points bordering them, and

turned back here and there to show

the lining.

Two high collars, the outer matching

the blue cloth of his gown, the inner

made of yellow eloth and sawing his

ears, and a large fur hat trimmed with

a yellow cloth fan, completed his co-tume.

The only masculine thing about his

appearance was the size of his foot e'-Yealed

through a slit in one side of ao

gown. __

The Haymarket riot In Chicago. for complicity in which thbe anarchists are to suffer the severest le_-al penalty, occurred on the evening'of May 4

last, and grew out of the memorable eignt-hoaur movement inaugurated in Chicago and other

cities on the I st ot that month. Popular excite- ment of the highest tension had prevailed for 8everaldays,-which was inaterlallvrtauirmented by the wild utterances of the socialists. The

facts coniected with the riot, or, more properly

speakini,'massacre, are so familiar to the news- paper reader that no extended rehearsal if

necessary here. The meetingofanarchisti, which had been called by Spies and his accomplices,

was in progress and Fielden had just finislied

his Rpdci, when a large force of pol.ce appeared upon the scene. A boirb was almost Instandly thrown in their midst. followed immediately by a pistol fight between the officers and rioters. The rensult was that seven policemen were killed on the spot or died later in consequence of their wounds, and some thirty other officers were in juretd. The arrest of Spies, Fielden, Schwab, Neebe and the other anarchists, except Parsons and Linga, was shortly effected, and the office ol the Arbeiter Zeltung. a paper edited by Spies was raided, and its contents, Including, besides printing material, dynamite and other socialistic appliances, contficated. Lingg was captured on May 14 after a fierce struggle, and Parsons sur- rendered June21. On Jane 5 the eight anarchistsi were indicted for murder in the first degree. The trial took place in the criminal court, Judge Gary presiding. Nearly three weeks were con- Srnied in obtaining a jury, all possible methods i to secure delay being resorted to by Capt. Black and Messrs. Solomon and Foster, counsel for the prisoners. States Attorney Grinnell had charge oi the prosecution. A vast amount of testimony was taken during the trial, which wearily drag- red through fifty-nine days. Probably the most damaging evidence for the state was that of Gil- mer, who swore that he saw Spies light the fuse to the deadly bomb and that the missile was thrown by Schnauble. who at once disappearedtl and was supposed to bare committed suicide; his decomposed body being found in the harbor at Erie, Pa., two months after the night of the rioL

The Bed River Drainage Showing.

The following is the regular monthly re-port

of the chief enoineer, and makes a

gratifying showing for the time spent in the field:

The work began July 30 in Polk

county at the junction of the Sand Hill i

river with the Red River of the '

North. The plan of prosecuting the work

is by tracing the section lines east

and west, recording elevations at each sec-tion

and quarter section corner, and such

intermediate points as may seem of value.

The four instrument men start from a

common point and level on parallel sec-

tion lines, usually checking on each other

at the close of the day by means of tie

lines, thns determining the comparative

value and correctness ol each man's work.

A field map is kept in conection with the

survey, which is corrected and filled in as

the work proceeds. The map shows that

the east side of the marsh near Beltrami

is ninety-eight leet above low water mark

of the Red river. Across the marsh from

the railroad there is a fall of thirty

feet in ten miles toward the west. This slope is uniform and the

minimum fall will not be less than

two feet per mile, and probably can be

made to reach the full average of three feet.

East of the marsh the lines of drainage are

not toward the stream, but parallel with

it. ThelowerSandHillseetmsiwelladaptel

in size and fall for the outlet of this district.

It has a number of tributaries which termi. nate at the want edge of the swamp, and

which can; be made available for drainage

outlets. Few, if any spots in the marsh

indicate an alkali soil, and the surface wa-ter

is sweet and suitable for drinking. The sod is fifteen inches deep, below which is a

black soil eighteen inches to three feet in

dlepth. Subsoil is clay, and is from three

to six feet below the surface. The facts so

far developed indicate that a plan can be

found for the successful drainage of the

Sand Hill country.

The Great Failure in Boston.

Boston Special: It has been definitely

learned that William Gray, Jr., the de-faulting

treasurer of the Atlantic and Or-;

hard mills committed suicide. His body

was found at Blue Hills. Samuel R. Pay-son

made an assignment to Samuel John-son.

This caused great surprise, as Pay-son

had been considered one of the

wealthiest men in Boston. His diffi-;

ulty was caused by endorsement of

paper of rthe Indian Orchard mills,

wrhich were virtually owned by him

ind his family. Gray was treasurer of

this mill, and Payson's assignment is the

natural seqiiel of Gray's defalcation.

l'ayon has resigned as president of the

City National Bank. His liabilities are

$350,000. Payson stated that he thought

he had ample funds to pay his indebted-ess

in full, but his affairs were in such a

condition that his property could not be

realized on a decent value at a forced sale.

The failure is due to shrinkage in the

shares of the Indian Orchard mills. Pay.

ion is a large owner in the Hallowell (Mo.)

tfanufacturing company.

It has been decided to altar the plans of

the Garfield monument at Cleveland, and

mtake it 150 feet in height iustewd of 22.

<» originally deeigned,

is peremptory, and conveys the exact

meaning of the speaker. In the same

way "quit" or "drop" or "let" are

used. For instance, one will say "drop

it" or "drap it," as the expression is

frequently used, meaning "say no more

about it. ' "Hold on" means to stay

proceedings, and "go it," with a pe-culiar

intonation, means "go on in

your own way, I have nothing more tc

say." "Get up" is understood as a de-mand

to move along. "It's shore to

be so" means that the assertion or the

existing circumstances are, without a

doubt, exactly as stated. "To put out"

a lamp does not mean to carry it out-side.

but to extinguish the light. To

"holier" is to cry aloud, and I think

there is not a more expressive word in

the language. To "cry" in com-mon

parlance means "to weep," while,

according to the dictionaries, it may

mean a variety of sounds of the voice.

It is never used among the country

people in any other sense' than to weep.

They have a different word for other

noises, as yell. a shrill cry; whoop. a

full-sounded cry; holler, a sort of cross

between the two, as used in common

with either word, etc. The rather pug-nacious

expression "beat him all

holier," however, means that the one

alluded to first is far superior to the

other. Occasionally the rustic drifts

into a redundancy of expression quite

surprising. He says, "his'n," "her'n,"

"their'n,. equivalent to "his own,"

"their own," instead of simply "his,"

"hers," "theirs." By this he seems to

impress the idea of proprietorship by

the addition of the word "own." The

word "split," to divide, is used as "cut

down" is to diminish or decrease.

"Tolerably well" means "moderately

well." These words and phrases are

all good English to those who use them

constantly, and you would be surprised

to know just how many people use

them constantly. There is one little

remnant of cockneyism that is observa-ble

in the language of the common

people. This-the leaving off the aspir-ate.

Besides "I've," "we've" "they've,"

which can hardly be placed in this class,

because "I'll," "we'll," and "they'll"

show the same contraction of the auxili

ary verb in the same way. I havo

noticed that the pronouns suffer most

from the process of decapitation. "Is,"

"im," and "'e," for "his," "him." and

"lie," are examples. Another peculiar

thing is the prefixing of "a" to active

verbs--"ahuntin'," "afishin," "arun-nin',"

"awalkin'," and similar in-stances.

All these peculiarities are

noticeable in southern dialect, and

many of them are common to all En-glish-

speaking people. As for real

straightout dictionary English you will

hunt a long distance before you are

able to secure enough strictly-accurate

speakers to make up a snug dinner

party, and when you have secured

them you may safely address every one

of them as professor.-Atlanta Consti-tution.

A Specific for Swelled Heads.

A fashionable hotel in an uptown

region, where the faculties for obtain-ing

an enlargement of the head are

more ample probably than anywhere

also in the city, has given a permanent

place in its bill of fare to boiled clam

juice. The secret of the potency of this

preparation, which is simply what its

name calls it-the juice of the clam

boiled until moderately thick-has long

been known, it is said, in London

swelldom, but here it is comparatively

new. it is the only thing in the world

that will safely, surely, and quickly re-store

the normal equilibrium of a sys-tem

upset by overmuch of a good time

with the boys. It is pleasant to take,

perfectly harmless, and never fails,

even in the most hardened case. It has

none of the deleterious after-effects of

bromide and the other drugs usually

applied as nerve-soothers and consti-tution

bracers. Another form of the

same thing is the clam cocktail, and

this also is dispensed at the modish bar.

There is only one objection to clam

juice-that is the peculiar smile of the

waiter that always goes with it. No-body

ever orders boiled clam juice buti

a man who needs it, and a man who

needs clam juice is in a condition to be

irritated by a knowing grin on a wait-er's

face. If the clam juice hotel can

only arrange to have the stuff served by

cast-iron waiters, the demand for it is

bound to be immense.-—New York Cor.

banker closed his doors against depos-itors

a woman who had $800 on depos-it

took a revolver and sailed up to his

house. The banker wasn't at home,

$600 diamonds, and a $200 gold watch,

and a couple of bracelets worth $100

a piece.

"Shed!" observed the woman with

the revolver.

"What?"

"I want that jewelry as security for

my money, and I'm in a hurry."

She got it, but she had not held it

twenty-four hours before it was quietly

redeemed, and she was asked to keep

The Dear Little Cherub.

There are times when a little boy be-comes

a nuisance. At a hotel breakfast

table a small boy said in a loud voice to

his parent:

before you eat them?"

"To seo if they are good."

"But, Pa, you can t see with your

nose, can you?"

"For heaven's sake, boy, keep quiet.

I smelt the egg to find out if it was

good."

"But, Pa, what do you want to smell

the egg for? Can't you tell by tastin'

it if it ain't good?"- Texas Sftings.

A recent issue of the Boston Herald

has, under the above head, a most

excellent article on the humiliating

position in which many clergymen

find themselves. There is & world of

truth in the following lines:

A more humiliating position can

hardly be imagined than that to

which so many superior men are re-duced

of being trotted round like

spavined horses at a fair, to have

their teeth, knees and hoofs inspected,

to see whether there is still go

enough in them for this or that old

broken-down parish gig, and that, too,

generally, at a time of life when inany

othier profession they would be just

entering on the highest functions and

heaviest responsibilities of their

career. Just at present the glories of

tihe liberty of Tom, Dick and Harry,

and every one else to pass his judg-ment

on every man and every thihig,

are the theme of general eulogy. It is

in the church that this liberty gets its

fullest and most varied play. The

small boy of 6, who votes the minis-ter

an oldfoggy; thesimperinggirl who

feels they ought to have something

younger, more emotional, and, proba-ly,

marriageable; the young man

who is scandalized that his pastor

does not ride a bicycle; the irate Re-publican

who has learned that the fel-ow

voted for Cleveland, or the regu-lation

Democrat that he favors civil

service reform; the chaste spinster,

that saw him smoking; thedollar-and-cent

materialist that is outraged at

not being wrought up by him to

spiritual fervor; the woman the

minister's wife passed on the street

without seeing her- here is a

small fraction of the elements of a

public opinion that is to be conciliated

and won over, or something has got

to give way. Or is it further to be

wondered at that more and more

young men of parts and spirit renounce

the idea of uttempting a profession

that demands ot them the gifts of be-inR

at once infant school teachers,

college professors, post-graduate lec-turers,

private theatrical conductors,

May pole dancers, and equally at their

ease with drooling babies ot 2 months

and blind and deaf grandparents of

Father Abraham's Substitute.

From the Washington Critic.

"President Lincoln had a substitute

in the army," said Noble 1D. Lamrner,

while talking over old times in Wash-ington,

"and he was credited to the

Third Ward of this city. It was in

the Winter of 1864.65 that General

Fry, then provost marshal here, sent

for me and told me that the President

wanted a substitute to go to the war

for him. At that time I was connect-ed

with the Third Ward Draft Club,

the principal object of which was to

secure substitutes for members who

might be drafted. There lived in our

ward a son of a clergyman who bore

the usual reputation given to minis-ters'

sons and lie was naturally 'a ne'er

do weel.' This fellow was desired to

represent the President and a check

from the White House for $800 pay-able

at Riggs'Bank was theconsidera-tion.

Nothing was ever heard of the

young man afterward, but-it was gen-erally

believed thliat hlie was killed during

the Wilderness campaign."

Secretary Lamar rendered a decision in

Hi case of.the contested timber-culture

taim ot Patrick Byrne against William W.

Dorwood, taken 9n appeal from the com-missioner

of the general land office. Mr.

Bryne contested Mr. Dorwood's claim to

the northwest quarter of section 6, town-

ship 138, range 79, Bismarck land district,

on the ground that thecontestant had not

ptanted a tree nor broken the required five

acres,although hehad possession of the land

sine May 22,1877. Dorwood claimed that

he was not compelled to make any im-

provements on the land so long as his title

was contested, and cites the fact that in

the case of Meserve against the contestee

the land had been decided, Jan. 3. 1885,

L be his, in the face of an admission

o him that he had made no im-

pr-ovement on the land since

May 21, 1880. The register and receiver

wouldnot accept this precedent,andrecom-.

mended the cancellation of Dorwood's en-

try. Commissioner Sparks held the eutry

lfr cancellation and Doorwood appealed

to the sefretary. In sustaining the decis-

ion the secretary says:

'Tereis no doubt ofthe correctness of

the position that pending a final decision

on a contest on whatever ground or

harge, the entryman whose claim is at-tcked

should continue to comply with the

law, and ifth failed to do this he laid him-self

liable to attack in a subsequent

contest, should he successfully defend in

the one pending. To hold differently would

he to condone laches and to open the door

ti a practice which would enable parties

tndergniseofla contest to hold land in-teifnitely

without complying with the re-~

uirements of the law under which their

intries were made.

$8,000. It is anticipated that Wis-consin

will receive about $100,000

more from the 5 per cent allowance

on the sale of all public lands in Wis-consin

for the years 1 883 to 1886,

inclusive. Already $25,000 of this

has been allowed.

Amos A. Lawrence died in New York

recently. He was born in 1814. IHe

established factories for making

worsted and knitted poods and in

1844 lie received the land in Wiscon

sin known as the Williams grant from

his father. He laid the foundation of

the city of Appleton, constructed a

damn across the river and founded an

academy.

The situation of affairs on the Eau

Claire, Chippewa and Black rivers is

gratifying to the lumbermen, as the

recent rains raised all of these streams

to a lair atage.

lome meadow," said I, pausing to lis-en,

as the harsh, grating, but most

sumner-like of sounds came clearly

hrough the warm, still air this June

vening, mingled with the voices of

he children playing in the garden.

Mrs. Hartley listened too, and a look

amine into her eyes as though she saw

some other scene than the sunny gar-len

and fair, green fields beyond, and

the lengthening shadows cast by the

elms, their leaves glancing golden in

the setting sun.

1 was sitting in the old-fashioned par-lor,

with ils heavy oak beams across

the ceiling, its dark, polished furniture

and old china bowls full of dried rose

eaves, and wide-open latticed windows,

through which floated the scent of mig-ionet

and pinks, while Mrs. Hartley

brought out the sweet home-made cake,

and the frothing new milk in a quaint

nug of old china.

"Aye," said Mrs. Hartley; "the corn-crake.

So it is, Miss Nelly, so it is."

Something in her voice struck me.

"Does it make you sad?" I asked.

"I like to hear the bird, though it does

make such a strange noise, it always re-minds

me of summer evenings when

the grass is long."

"Yes, that's when it comes, you

never hear it after the grass is cut. It

reminds me o' my young days, Miss

Nelly."

I mind well hearing the corn-crake

that summer that my mother died, and

I thought the sun wouldi never shine

fair on me again, so full o' trouble and

death was it-many a long year ago

now was it Mother had been ill a

long while, and was nigh dying, for

her life seemed to go as the grass grew,

and we knew she would never bide here

till the fall o' the leaf. Father was a

game-keeper, and we lived in that cot-tage

by Northover woods. Me and

Tom Marsden-he was the blacksmith

at Northover-had been courting along

while, with fathir's consent, for Tom

was well-to-do and the forge was his

own. I thought a deal of him, for he

was good to look at, and strong; never

a lad in the village could come nigh

him for looks and strength. And when

I first knew him he was main steady

and well thought of by all. But there

was a bad lot o' fellows in Northover-poachers

and such like-and somehow

Tom got in with 'ein. Father had spo-ken

to Tom about it. for he said: 'It's

no good thinkin' tha can pla' wi mud

and keep thy own clothes clean; some

on it will stick for sure!"

"Tom laughed, and told father he

could take care of himself, and, as for

catching a stray rabbit or bird, it were

a bit o' fun on a dark night, and no

harm in it either.

"Says, father:

" 'Thou'It not find it a bit o' fun if I

catch thee at it, '

"So they narted in anger_ nnd father flJ i"nJ parLtt in alunger, alnlt 14atlu1L

came homo saying I must think no

more o' Tom, for he couldna let his

lass wed a poacher.

"This evening when the dusk was

falling,I sat by mother's bedside think-of

it all. Father was in the woods and

mother asleep, so the house was very

still, and all the windows open, for it

was that time o' year. And I heard the

corn-crake in the field nigh the cottage

as plain as now, sometimes quite near

and sometimes father away, as it ran

about in the long grass. Presently it

stopped croaking as though something

had startled it, and then there was a

little rattle about the lattice, like bits

o' gravel thrown up. I got up softly

not to disturb mother, and looked out,

and there stood Tom against the fence

with a gun in his hand.

-"I thought to have seen thee at

sundown, Eunice, lass,' he said, 'I've

been waiting this half hour by the

brook.'

°'' I couldna leave mother,' I says;

'she's worse and weaker than a while

back, and father has gone into the

woods. He's main angered at thee,

Tom.'

"'0, aye,' he says; "it's about the

birds, but it's naught.'

"I shook my head.

"'Father says he'll not have me wed

thee if thou dost not mend thy ways

and leave going with them poaching

fellows. What dost thou want with

them? Thou never used to heed such

likA-' iike.

""Tis naught to fret about lass;

they're none so bad as thy father

thinks. I'll get shut on 'em when

we're wed.'

· 'What art thou doing with a gun?'

I asked him.

'Nay, lass, thou art getting too

curious. Maybe I'm going shooting

flittermice,' lie says, laughing.

"'Thoul't break my heart, Tom,' I

says-'what with mother nigh to death,

and father angered with thee, and thou

going on this gait.'

'I'mi sorry thy mother is no better,

Eunice,' he says, 'but as for the rest,

there's naught to fret about. I'll come

and see thee to-morrow.'

"And he went off smiling and wav-ing

his hand as lie turimiod down by the

copse. Then the corn-crake began

again croak, croak, all round the

meadow, and I sat and watched mother

with a heavy heart till the stars came

out, and a young moon lying on her

back, which was an ill sign, for you

know the saying:

'IN-en the moon's like a boat,

There's trouble iaflat.'

"But I hoped it might not be for me.

had turned a little chill, so I closed the

lattice and lay me down by mother a

while. I had been asleep some time,

for the moon was low in the sky and

the dawn breaking when I awoke with

hearing a trampling of feet coming

down the lane. I listened, and the

tramping came nearer and sounded

heavy-like, as if they were carrying

something. It stopped at the gate and

then I heard the click o' the latch.

Mother's room was in the back so it

was no use looking out of the lattice.

I was creeping softly down stairs when

mother awoke and asked if father had

come in.

"'I think he's coming now mother,'

I said. 'I'll fetch thee a cup o' tea,'

and went down and opened the door,

and there stood one of the keepers,

William Balshaw, as married my cousin

Anne.

"'Where's father?' I said trying to

look past him.

"'See now, Eunice,' he says, 'thou

mun keep a brave heart lass. How is

thy mother?'

"'She's no better, and asking for

father.'

"'Well, thou mun put her off. I've

ill news for thee, por lass; thy mother
