THINGS IN WISCONSIN.
A friend in Wisconsin writes as follow:

A friend in Wisconsin writes Us follows:
"There is, however, considerable uneasness
among many of your frends-those formerly
Wings, (and call themselves Wings yet, to all
intents save that of pro-slaveryism) who feel
the pressing want of better prices for their pro-
duce, and honestly believe a wiser or higher Ia
riff on imports would have this tendency
Whether correct or not this much all know /:
the present prices of produce leave no profit to
the farmer in this region of country, nor will
furnish him wherewitn to pay if he owes, or buy
if he wants, after defray!ng expenses Of raising,
&c. They say, with truth, 'We have plenty Of
tread TO eat and fear starvation least of any thing
but we are compelled to live in our old house and
wear our old clothes, for want of Just price
for our labor Say they, we are sending mil
lions of gold to Europe to buy articles, which, by
little wisdom on the part of our Legislators, can
be manufactured at home thereby diverting la
Dor to more channels, lcsscning the amount Of
an article which becomes drug in the market
and furnishing that market nearer home Tho

reason in this, especially when we are sending
such large shipments of gold over ell other ex-
ports to pay foreign importations If this state
OF things continue there will be $50 it looks)
another struggle among the people When a
general depression strikes home to them all like
the present, they feel, perhaps without wisely
considering which is the best policy, that some
change will prove better than stagnation and pow
ettv.'
A few considerations will show our friends in
Wisconsin that they have overlooked the real
causes of their present troubles, and that the
remedy is in their own hands.
In 1910, the population of Wisconsin was on
" 30,14 In 1850, il had increased to 305,l9
at the enormous rate of $50 per cent. Iowa in
tie mean time had increased its population from
40, 900 to 1872 900, or at the rate of 3i5 per cent
The rate Of increase in Arkansas during the
same period, was only IA per cent, and in ev
cry other State, less than 100.
The growth of population in Wisconsin has been
unprecedented, and one OF its necessary results
has been, the impossibility of so diversifying in
dusry as to supply the natural wants Of the pe0-
pie The emigrants who have settled in the
State have turned their attention TO the readiest
and cheapest culture, that of wheat, and, like
oil communities who depend for supppot upon
the proceeds of a single staple, find themselves
embarrassed and in debt the moment glut in
market occasions fall of prices.
We ask the attention TO the following table,
which we have prepared from the Census Of 1880.

Miss Greenfield, who is now delighting the

an Indian mother, in the Territory of Florida,

death of the widow, who left possessions to tho

THE KOSSUTH FUND.

to call a meeting and submit the draft of Con-
stitution for Society to raise funds in behalf Of
Hungary Is all that wind work to be wasted &?
We hope the chairman of that Committee will
see that the proper means are speedily taken to
further the design of the Resolutions of those
meetings of last winter. Let the Association
be organized, and Committees appointed to pro-
cure material aid" and comfort for the down.
troddon Magyar. We hope our friends in the
country will also 60 ahead and organize their
Town Societies, and do what can be done with
ont delay. The cause is just as important to-
day as it was last winter. The friends of free
dom in the North must work harder for their
principles, when they zee its champion sighted
and insulted by the Shareholders of the South.

This shows that Michigan, with population
less than ofle-forth larger than that of Wiscon
sin, has brought nearly twice the quantity Of
land under cultivation, owns nearly double the
amount of live stock, produces nearly three
times the amount of Indian corn, nine times the
amount of wool, eight times the amount Of but
ter, more than twice the quantity of cheese, four
times the quantity of maple sugar, and six times
the value of home manufactures In short.
while the people Of Michigan have diversified
their labor, distributed their capital touched eve-
ry spring of wealth, taxed every capacity oftheir
soil, and where there was a surplus of grain put
it into live stock, or raised sheep with it, the peo-
pie of Wisconsin have devoted nearly all their
labor, their enterprise, and their capital, to the
culture of wheat As nearly all have been
wheat growers. they have had comparatively liz
ileto sell or buy at home their market has been
abroad, and in that market they have been trad
ing upon q single staple. No tariff can remedy
this state of things. The remedy is in their
own hands. Their climate is as propitious as
| that of Michigan-their soil is richer, and equal
| ly varied. Let them create home market, just
as Michigan has done, by distributing their en-
| terprise, dyersfying their industry. That is the
secret of her thrift Is there any reason why
one should produce seven millions pounds OF
butter, and the other, with population not much
less, produce only eight hundred and eighty.
eight thousand pounds why one should grow
two million pounds Of wool, and the other, no
two hundred and fifty thousand pounds Wis
| consin is as rich in agricultural capabilities a.
Michigan-they have been steadily developed il
the latter without,he hot-bed process of Protec
ton, and so they may be in the former. If yol
cannot find this year a good market for your
wheat, put in more Indian corn, or save more
grain for stock, or devote more attention to wool
growing, or to your dairy "Ie that observtI
the wind shall not SOW; and he that regarded
the clouds shall not reap" So it with those
who are always looking to legislation to do to
them that which can be done we'll and safely on

WISCONSIN, REEF.

There were shipped from this port, last week,
the handsomest and largest lot of Beef that ever
left Wisconsin alive, for the New York Market
They were collected, fattened, and shipped by
Messrs. Clspp & Benson. Mr.. Clapp, of Som
ers, has gone with them to New York There
were in number eighty-two-the aggregate
weight of which were 1875, 100 lbs. The weight,
of them ranged from l40o to 22OO Ibs.-average
near 1900 lbs.
We never saw handsomer lot of Reeves to-
gether in any market, We hope the enterprise
and labor of the shippers will be we'll repaid.

IL CRoCKERY EsTABLIsHMBNr.-Our rea-
ders will not overlook the advertisement of
BRowN & WILDER, of Chicago, which appears
in another column. They have the largest fur
mshing establishment this side of Buffalo They
import their Goods direct from Europe, and it is
just astonishing, and nothing else, to drop into
their magnificent emporium of Crockerv, Gluss
Ware, Looking Glasses, &c, &c, and hear
them tell you how near to nothing they will sell
you bill of goods. Since it is a matter of
course, that one has to go to Chicago once a
month or So you might as we'll make a small
bill when there, and thus save your expenses,
which is about the same thing as staying at
home, with this advantage, that you have sight
of the growing city, and beautiful sail on the
Lake, for nothing.
The enterprsing character of Messrs. Brown
& Wilder, to say nothing of their pleasant man
ner of doing business, is sure to command full
success.

% The Appointment Bill, re-dstricting
the State for Senators and Assemblymen, has
also becomea law. So many amendments were
made during the last two or three days of the
session that we are not quite sure as to the shape
in which it was finally left We believe thu,
it provides for the election of 25 Senators and 81
Assemblymen, an increase of s Senators and
Is Assemblymen on the present number.
u The emigrant agency bill has become
law, and will doubtless prove beneficial to the
interests Of the State, if the trust is reposed in
competent and judcious hands. The agent, we
believe, is to be appointed by Gov. Farwell.

says that there were 1852 votes polled in that
city at the last Municipal election.

SLAVERY FOR MoNEy.-We pity The
man who wears out bis energies in the
accumulation of riches which, when
amassed, he viii have lost the capacity
to enjoy. He finds himself at the end
Of his labors, guest at his own feast,
without an appetite for its dainties.
The wine of life is wasted, and nothing
remains but the e.. The warm sym
pathies of his hear have been choked by
his memorable spirit of avarce, and they
cannot be resusclated. The fountain
head of his enthusiasm is sealed, he
looks at all things in nature and in art,
with an eye OF calculation, hard matter
of fact is the only paIuum his mind
can least on, the elastic spring of i'm
pulse is broken, the poesy of existence
is gone.
Are wealth and position an equival-
ent to these losses! Is not the Million
aire, who has acquired wealth at such a
cost, a miserable bankrupt In our
opinion, there is little to choose on the
score of wisdom between the individu-
al who recklessly sluanders his money
as he goes along in folly and the false
economist who denies himself the
VIII olesome enloyments of life, in order
to swell that treasure which, in the hard
ming process OF scraping up; he had be-
come too mean to spend, and too selfish
to give away.
The only rational way TO live is to
mix labor with enjoyment-a streak of
lean, and fat. There is nothing like a
streaky life pleasant mixture of exer.
ton, thankfulness, love, jolity and re-
pose. The man who slaves for riches
makes poor return to that God who
took the trouble of making them for
better purpose.

THE WyANDorTE CAvE.-A party of
Cincinnati gentleman have recently ex-
plored this Indiana rival of the Nam.
moth Cave of kentucky, and have CIV
en- detailed account of their measure
ment of the avenues and rooms in it.
This Indiana Cave appears to extend in
a variety of directions, which in all
would measure several miles of distance,
and to have as many varieties of scenes
almost as the Kentucky Cave. This
Wyandotte Cave is situated on the west
side of Blue River, formerly called
Wyandotte River, the junction of which
with the Ohio is thirty miles by land,
and fifty by water, from Louisville.
The mouth of the Cave is on the side Of

DUTCH BEAUTlEs.-The late Rev.
Henry Coleman, who was as great an
admlrer Of female beauty as he was of
huge pumpkins and cabbage. in his
European Life and Manners" gives
the following luscious account of the
Dutch women, when the Chevalier
(who has travelled in Holland) saws
does no more than exact ustic to their
transparent beauty:
81 thing some of them the falrrst and
handsomest creatures ever looked
upon, and made of the finest unmlxed
porcelain clay. Before left England
thought the English women the finest
! had ever seen-l now consider them
as belonging to the colortd races. The
Dutch women much exceed them.
Take the talrest rose that was ever
plucked with the gli'trring de vdrops
hanging among its petaI---lake the fair
est peach that ever hung upon the tree,
with its charming, blending tints of red
and white-and they are eclipsed by
the transparency and beauty of com
plexion Of the tairest of the Dutch wo-
men, as | saw them at Brock and Saad-
ram. If their minds are as fair, and
their manners as winning as their faces,
then can easily understand the history
of Adams fall. 1t was impossible, poor
fellow. that he should resist"
The TRULY GREAT.-lt Is not impro-
bable that the noblest human beings are
to be found in the least favored condi-
tons OF society, among those, whose
names are never uttered beyond the
narrow circle in which they toll and
suffer, who have but 1.-TWO minutes" to
give away, who have perhaps not even
that, but who "desire to be fed with the
crumbs which fall from the rich mans
table," for in this class may be found
those, who have wlthstood the sever
est temptation, who have practised the
most arduous duties, who have confided
in God under the heaviest trials, who
have been most wronged and have for
given most, and these are the great, the
exalted. 1t matters nothing what the
particular duties are to which the indi.
vidual is called, how minute and OBJ
scure in their outward form. Greatness
in Gods sight lies not in the extent of
the sphere which is filled, or the effect
which is produced; but altogether in the
power of virtue in the soul, IN the pner-
gy with which Gods will chosen, with
which trial is borne and goodness and
loved pursued.-,Rer. Dr.. Charming.

cheering accounts. The Wing orators
are doing good service, and are daily
addressing large and enthusiastic meet

spirited affair, the greatest enthusiasm
being exhibited. The Richmond Mes
senger gives the following account of
the state of things in the mountain:
1t is IA qualification to be able to in
form our readers, from observation, that
the ball Is nobly rolling in the noun
tains. The Wing candidate and Wing
principles are in the ascendency, and,
from every perceptible indication, the
people are wide awake to their best and
most sacred interests; so that there will
be no doubt about the hero of a hundred
battles receiving an overwhelming and
almost unanimous vote. The people
in the mountains can appreciate true
merit, and their brave and noble ma lures
will induce all to labor, irrespective OF
party, for WINFIELD ScorT.
