WISCONSIN STATE NEWS. The Chippewa Falls policeman will hereafter wear a uniform. The Wisconsin State Fair will be held at Madison from the Cthto the 11th of Sep tember. La Crosse hasn’t had a big celebration on the Fourth of July in seven years. Now she wants one. : Mr. Henry M. Ingai/lsbee, of Men vomonee, came to his death recently by a runaway accident. The rains have done much good to the crops all over the State. In some places it was rather too plenty. During the recent Catholic demonstra tion in Mihvaukee Mrs. John Heller had ' her pocket picked of the sum of $125. The reports from the Wisconsin cran berry beds give highly encouraging ac counts of the condition of the cranberry crop this year. • Tiie County Board of Chippewa County have just sold $40,000 of county bonds, issued for jail and Court-House purposes, at ninety-six cents. Two hundred and ten barrels of crooked whisky w'ere captured in an old malt house on Chesnut street, Milwaukee, a few afternoons ago. A boy named Wolfinton, aged fourteen, while bathing in Knceland’s slip, North Menomonee, at Milwaukee, the other even ing, got into the deep water and was drowned. It is rumored that the Rev. Dr. Steele, president of Lawrence University, at Ap pleton, lias been tendered the Presidency ©f the Bloomington College, 111., recently vacated by Rev. Samuel Fallows. , Mayor Ludington, of Milwaukee, was married on the evening of the 7th inst. to Mr 3. E. M. Tobejq late of New T York. Presentations were made by the city offi cers, police and the Fire Department. Several of the officers of one of the lit erary societies of the State University, at Madison, have been suspended by the President because of holding a meeting of the society at unreasonable hours. The store and stock of goods belonging to Cook & Ghoca, of Spencer, were de stroyed by fire a few nights ago. The only thing saved was a lodger which Mr. Copk took home with him. Loss about $3,500. farmer on Duck Creek, Brown County, is having a curious experience with liis cattle. During the past three or four months he has lost nine head of cattle from some cause that has operated to irot off their hind feet. He is inclined to leave it to witchery, and nobody has offered a solution of the difficulty that is any more satisfactory to him. . Over 800 clergy and 800 theological students of St. Francis’ Seminary assembled to take part in the The following Bishops were present: Foley,- of Chicago; Ryan, of St. Louis; Seidenbush, of St. Cloud, Minn.; Uray&, of Marquette ; Heiss, of LaCrosse. Abridge across the La Crosse River in the town of Campbell gave way on the evening of the Gtli, just as Henry Fritze and \William Murphy Were in the middle of it, and both, together with the homes and carriage they were in, were precipi tated into the stream, twenty feet below. The horses were drowned and the car riage broken to pieces, but the young men managed to swim ashore, badly battered and braised, and have gone into dry-dock for repairs. A ff.w days ago, at Green Bay, a little boy, son of Geo. Thompson, five years of age, was drowned in Fox River. The fath er came to that place from Islipcming about, pvo weeks before in very destitute circumstances. Not being able to obtain work, he had nothing in the house to eat. The little fellow became hungry and cried for bread, and when his mother told him she had nothing in the house he said he was starving, and would try to catch some fish. He proceeded to the river alone, where he was drowned. Being strangers, the situation of the family was not known until after the discovery of the body. Messrs. S. Wiston and J. E. Rhoades, of Philadelphia, have been in Green Bay lately pn a visit to the Oneida Indians, whose 4 ’ reservation is near there. They represent a philanthropic Society of Friends in Philadelphia who have for many years past exercised a certain father ly supervision over these Indians. The especial object of their visit was to in quire Jato the rumors that have been prevalent that the Indians wished to sell their reservation and move away. A con sultation, showed that there were but a few and that the majority unanimously wished to remain. The visit of these gentlemen will doubtless, as on previous occasions, result in good to the Indians.— Green Bay Telegram , ii! 1 The Streets of Yenice. I have already said that there can he no more erroneous idea than that there are no streets in Yenice. The reverse is the truth;- it is a perfect maze of streets and alleys, all of the most erratic propensities and vagabond inclinations, of corkscrew con struction, so that there is not a house in Yenice that cannot be approached by land as well as by water. But truth compels me to add that they are as unlike the streets of any other place as Hie city is isolated in her own peculiarities of posi tion and construction from all the other cities of the world. As there is but one Venice, and probably never will be an other like unto it, so her pathways are dis similar to all others, whether on terra firma or on water. Her streets are the most intricate and bewildering contriv ances which human ingenuity ever devised to puzzle topographical brains and lead wandering feet astray. No amount of study or experience can ever assure you whither you are wending your way, or at what point you may finally emerge, and a Chinese puzzle is a mikl mystery com pared to the solution of that peripatetic problem in Venice. So narrow are these streets, without sidewalks, and through which no wheeled vehicle may safely pass, that in the widest of them but four persons can conveniently walk abreast, and but three if of portly proportions, and in many of them a crowd of two fat per sons will suffice to block the way! By measurement, the w T ide3t of these streets are not more than eighteen feet across, the ordinary width not exceeding six feet, if as broad even as that. The chief feature of all of them is found in the constantly interposing bridge, span ning one of innumerable canals, great or small, that intersect the city in every imaginable direction. In the course of a ten-minutes’ walk “any whither,” as Mr. Carlyle would say, you will have to cross at least five bridges, on which, happily, no tolls are demanded, else your walk would empty your pockets. Emerging from these, you will rvend your way through alleys so narrow that with your elbows you may touch either side, dodging occasionally under low archways, passing under houses and openings into small squares, each a world in itself and enjoy ing a separate and exclusive community of its own. These little squares or campi (fields), as they are termed by the resi dents, constitute a peculiar and character istic feature of Yenice. Each eampo is, in itself, an independent town in miniature. Within .the narrow limits of its small square it condenses everything necessary for the temporal as well as spiritual com fort of its frequenters, who people the gloomy-looking houses that surround its inclosure. These people do not live in separate houses, but whole families occu py separate floors, or fiats, as in Paris or Edinburgh, and individuals even own separate rooms in the same house, which, when disposed of, have to be sold, as one may say, by retail, due respect having to be paid to the vented rights of numerous proprietors congregated under the same roof. Originally the burying-ground of some church—whose name at Yenice was legion —every eampo can boast of its separate church, so that within this narrow circle may be found food for spiritual as well as for mundane cravings. To every Vene tian, also, the barber’s shop and the cafe' are necessities, not luxuries, and, as a matter of course, these are even to be found within these inclosures and thriving under the patronage of the immediate vic inage. To meet the wants and tastes of the women as well as of the men, each eampo has its dry-goods and grocery es tablishments on a small scale and the in evitable jewelers’ shops are never found wanting. Besides these man and woman traps, itinerant venders of cheap wares, advertising their goods at the top of their discordant voices, stroll leisurely along, attracting custom; and fish, fruit, anil vegetable sellers, down to the wayside vender, from whom you may buy a single glass of fresh water, make the neighbor hood vocal with their ceaseless clamor.— Appletom' Journal. The Use of Silent Letters Defended. One who signs himself “M. H.” writes to the New York 2'ribune, in response to another correspondent, defending the use of the silent letters in our language. He says: “ Now I protest against this and desire to lift up my voice to defend these silent letters against an assassin who would not only ruthlessly murder his mother-tongue but would at the same time bury from sight the records of her birth, the volumes of history, the evidence of moral revolu tions and political changes contained in her silent letters. History is not merely the ghost of the past, it is also the guard ian of the present and the future. These letters which contain so much of history are not ‘stupidly, stolidly silent J They live to the eye if not to the car. They talk to us as do the trees, the flowers, the sky, the hills. Take, for instance, the word‘chorus,’which occurs in the first sentence of the* editorial referred to. The initial sound is represented by the English letter ‘k,’ and if the only object to be gained in expressing words by written characters were the representation of sounds then might ‘ chorus’ begin with a 4 k* and one of the 887 silent letters be summarily disposed of. Of what use are the two letters? They link the word in dissolubly to its parent, the Greek Chores, and as the eye rests upon it there Hashes upon the mind a vision of the ancient Athenian theater, free to every citizen of that proud city, crowded to its utmost limit with eager listeners and spectators. As if by magic there floats to the ear an echo of the rhythmic measures of Soph ocles and Euripides, and the music of feet moving in time to the exquisite liar monj" of the verse. Then come thoughts of the manifold changes since that aucient time, with feelings of thanklulness that we have been permitted to inherit a por tion of the wealth of the Greek language. Who shall say that these letters are stol idly silent? They are not so hut to him who willfully closes the mind to the sto ries they would fain tell and the lessons of history they would fain proclaim. We would recommend economy of time, of | space, of money. The measure of eeon i omy we do not attempt to discuss, but venture upon the assertion that it will not pay even Americans to sacrifice the En glish language for the sake of speed or apace.” Cardinal Manning* in R recent letter, puis his foot down thus forcibly upon vivisection : “ I cannot pretend to estimate the scientific utilities of vivisection; but I have no need of any such refinements to enable me to say that the infliction of physical pain without just cause is an abuse of the domiuie% that God has given to man over the lower creatures. It is law fill to take their life for The food of man; but it is not lawful, even for this just and necessary purpose, to take their life by needless pain. To inflict the exquisite and prolonged torments described b} r those who have been present at vivisection can, in my belief, be brought under no moral law nor under any right possessed by man over any of his fellow-creatures.” It is said to be satisfactorily demon strated that every time a wife scolds her husband she adds a wrinkle to her face. It is thought the announcement of this fact will have a most salutary effect, es pecially as it is understood that every time a wife smiles on her husband it will remove one of the old wrinkles. One party to a quarrel iu a colored church at Salem, Tenn., squared things the other day by burning down the church. FARM AND HOME. —Skim-milk and water, with a little glue in it, made scalding hot, will re store rusty black crape. If clapped and pressed dry, like fine muslin, it will look like new. —To make corn starch cake, take two small cupfuls butter, one cupful of sweet milk, one cupful of corn starch, the whites of six eggs, two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls cream of tartar, one teaspoonful of soda; flavor with lemon. —Fried tomatoes are an excellent dish. Slice rather thickly; salt, pepper and roll in flour; then fry brown in butter kept to a boiling heat all the time. A good way to prepare tomatoes is to add a little flour and sweet cream to stewed toma toes just before dishing them. No crackers or bread is needed; pepper, salt and butter, as in other dishes, constitute the seasoning. —Common washerwomen spoil every thing with soda; and nothing is more frequent than to see the delicate tints of lawns and percales turned into dark blotches and muddy streaks by the igno rance of a laundress. It is worth while for ladies to pay attention to this, and insist upon having their summer dresses washed according to the directions which they should be prepared to give their laundresses themselves. In the first place the water should be tepid, the soap should not be allowed to touch the fab ric; it should be washed and rinsed quick, turned upon the wrong side, and hung in the shade to dry, and when starched (in thin boiled but not boiling starch) should be folded in sheets or towels, and ironed upon the wroDg side as soon as possible.— New York, Weekly. —Never cut flowers during intense sun shine, nor keep them exposed to the sun or wind. Do not collect them in large bundles, or tie them together, as this hastens their decay. Do not pull them, but cut them cleanly off the plant with a sharp knife—not with scissors. When taken indoors, place them in the shade and reduce them to the required length of stalk with a sharp knife, by which the tube, through which they draw up water, is not torn and mutilated, and the water is permitted to ascend freely; whereas, if the stems are bruised or lacerated, the pores are closed up. Use pure w r ater to set them in, or pure white sand in a state of saturation, sticking the ends of the stakes into it, but not in a crowded manner. If in water alone, it ought to be changed daily, and a thin slice should be cut off the ends of the stalks at every change of water. —To pickle walnuts gather them while a pin can pierce them easily, for when once the shell can be felt they have ceased to be in a proper state for it. Make sufficient brine to cover them well, with six ounces of salt to the gallon of water; take off the scum which will rise to the surface as the salt dissolves, throw in the walnuts and stir them night ana merning; change the brine every three days, and if they are warned for immedi ate eating leave them in it for twelve days; if not drain them from it in nine, spread them on dishes and let them re main exposed to the air until they be come black; this will be in twelve hours. Make a pickle for them with something more than half a gallon of vinegar to the hundred, a teaspoonful of salt, two ounces of black pepper, three of bruised ginger, a dram of mace and from a quarter to half an ounce of cloves, and four ounces of mustard seed. Boil the whole of these together for about five minutes, have the walnuts ready in a stone jar, and pour it on them as it is taken from the fire. When the pickle is quite cold cover the jar securely and store it in a dry place. Keep the wal nuts well covered with vinegar, and boil that which is added to them. — N. Y. News. Tlie Care of Farm Machinery. We have heard competent machinists say that fully one quarter of the value of inacninery was lost by a failure to keep the rearing surfaces well oiled. Our ob servation is, that farmers, as a rule, use too much oil on the be tilings of farm machinery, and to the detriment of the bearings. They put on large quantities of oil, but not sufficiently often. The use and value of oil are to keep the surfaces apart, so they may not grind, and to furnish a medium upon which they may slide or roll upon each other with the least possible friction. To do this properly judgment must be used. If too much oil be given, the sur plus immediately runs away and is lost; if not enough is given, the bearings run and wear upon each other and are soon destroyed, or rendered so loose as to be come comparatively worthless. So the first thing to be considered is the exact quantity of oil to properly lubricate the surfaces without waste and the time in which the oil will be worn away, which will be in proportion to the swiftness of the motion. According to experiments in France the friction of wooden surlaces rjubbing on wood amounted to from one-quarter to one-half of the force employed. The friction of metal on wood was something less; while the friction of metal on metal surfaces was trom one-fifth to one seventh. Lard, applied to wood on wood, reduced the friction from one tenth to one-twenty-eighth of the power required to move the surfaces dry; and on metal running upon metal the fric-. lion was reduced to one-half of what it w r as before. One of the best substances for lubricat ing cast-iron running upon cast-iron that we have ever used is oil or lard and black lead—plumbago. The best lubri cator for wrought-iron axles and the fast-running bearings of machinery is pure oil entirely freed from all gummy substances. If machinery could be kept entirely free from dust and other grit the bear ings and journals would last indefinitely. This is, however, impossible to do per fectly; but by keeping the boxes through which journals are oiled carefully cov ered, and by occasionally wiping such parts as may be got at when oiling, great waste of power may be saved, and the value and usefulness of machinery prolonged. A case in point will suffice for all. Good wagoners always wipe the axles of their wagons before they re-oil them; very few, however, wipe the boxes; and yet the one is as essential as the other, and one is as easily done as the other. How? Shave a spindle to fit the hole through the hub. Cover it with a piece of cloth, and, twisting it. within the hub, it is easily cleaned. This will keep your wheels true for a long time and save much labor to your team and vexation to yourself. Manufacturers and those who sell ma chines well know tnat implements and machinery will last more than double lire length of time for some farmers than for others. The reason is simple: They are carefully oiled and as carefully kept when not in use; for any man who is careful in the care of machinery when in use is fully as sure to care for it when not in use. Such men, for instance, never have trouble with the earth load ing on their plows; they never spend half a day scouring their plows on the road in the spring; tkeit plows are al ways bright, winter and summer. They, when the plows are done their spring work, clean them thoroughly and paint the brigh surface with kerosene and lampblack and put them where this coat ing may not be rubbed or get washed away. "When the bearings of machines get gummy from tbe use of bad oil they clean these also with kerosene and are always particular to get only the best oil when possible. There may be a great deal of money and Horseflesh saved by proper attention to and cleanliness in oiling farm machinery and in properly caring for it while not in use.— Chicago Tribune. —While the population of Massachu setts has increased five-fold in a hundred years Baptist churches have increased a hundred-fold. There are now in that State 283 churches and 44,679 members. —A petition of citizens asking that un sectarian religious exercises be intro duced in the schools hasbeen refused by the San Francisco Board of Education. Statistics show that of the thousands who die annually a large proportion are destroyed, not by old age, or by the natu ral exhaustion of vitality, but through in temperance, or disregard, either on the part of the sufferer or his parents, of the simplest laws of nature. Such being the case—and figures cannot misrepresent facts —the conclusion is that, were the causesof intemperance, its kindred vices and a dis regard of natural laws removed, the aver age length of the human life-time would he extended proportionately. What agent most rapidly, harmlessly and certainly will eradicate these vices, or the tendency to them, is the question, which has been as thoroughly and persistently agitated as has the search for the Philosopher’s stone. The discovery has been made by Dr. Jo seph Walker, whose widely-known Vine gar Bitters are accomplishing wonders which the old-fogy doctors never dreamed of. Try them and judge for yourself, as thousands are doing all over the country. \ 39 Facts Worth Knowing.—The Wilson shuttle sewing machine is to-day the sim plest, most perfect, most easy operated, best made, most durable, and in every way most valuable sewing machine in existence, and it is sold fifteen dollars less than all other first class macnines.
