Death of q Pioneer of Wisconsin.


MEssRs. EDIToRs: observed in your
paper Of last Thursday, an account Of the
death OF old jacques Vieau, extracted
from Green Bay paper. As there were
several errors in that account, and as the
public are interested in knowing accurate
particulars concerning those whose names
will pass into history as the pioneers Of
our young and rapidly growing State, l
feel at liberty, from my long acquaintance
with the deceased, to give you correct
statement.
Jaques Vieau was of French extraction,
and was born in Lower Canada. He
came to Wisconsin in 1886, and has resi-
ded nearly the whole of the time at Green
Bay, where he owned farm, and was an
Indian trader. l have known him for
thir'y-four years. He was fiity-six when
l became acquitted with him, and conse-
quently was ninety years when he died.
MIR. Vieau married at thirty six, and lived
happily with his wife TO the day of his
death. His amiabe wife still survives
him at the good old age Of seven,y-,wo.
in the enjoyment of health and all Ler
faculties.
Mr.. Vieau was an industrious, up
right and honorable man, and highly res
peeled for his many virtues by all who
knew him. At one time he had accumu-
lated, by his industry, prudence and
economy, handsome property, but re-
verses came and swept it away, and at
the time OF his death he was poor.
The changes that have occurred in
this State since first became acquainted
with MIR. Vieau, seem more like a dream
than reality. AT that time Green Bay
and Prairie du Chen were the only pla-
ces in the State that bore any trace of civ
ilized life. All the rest was an unbroken
wilderness. Here and there at great dis
tances was a solitary hut, in which lived
some restless pioneer, ever retreating as
civilization advanced, and following the
sports OF Nimroi and the disciples Of
Walton, with "a success that amateurs of
the present day do not dream of.
In 1886 Wisconsin was organized as a
Territory, having before that time been
only known as part Of that tract desig-
mated as the North Western Territory.
The only habtation where Milwauke
now stands, was a log house, on the pre-
sent site Of Ludington's store. 1t was
built by man named LIE Clair many
years. remember not how long-ago.
Indians belonging to the Chippewa,
Pottawotamic, Ottawa and Menomonee
tribes ranged through the vast forests,
and over the wide prairies. Now all is
changed. The old settler is lost in the
progress Of improvements. Cities, teem-
ing with busy population, now stand
where have stood in what was then a
solitary wilderness. The lake that now
bears so many vessels upon its bosom,
was then unrufiled save by storms-the
rivers that was then undis,urbed. save bv
the light canoe, are now beaten into foam
by the factory wheels. A younger gen.
Grafton occupy the Indians hunting
grounds and cover them with yellow
grain. The old settlers, like Vieau, have
passed, long since, totheir homes. They
were brave, industrious and hardy race,
and those who now occupy their ylace
should not forget them.
Yours, &c.,
SOLOMON JUNEAU.

General Scott in Mexico.

We have at length a copy of the Order
issued by Gen. Scorr while Commander
in-Chief of the American Army in Mex
leo, with respect 10 the department of his
soldiers in presence of the religious Cath
olic) observances Of the Mexicans. We
give the order entire, though part of it
has no relation to the matter of religion.
Here it is:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE Army. J
Mexico, Sept. "a, l847. (
GENERAL oRDERs-No. 297.
l.. Here, as in all Roman Catholic coun-
tries, there are frequent religious process
sions, in the streets, as well as in church.
es-such as The eleuation Of the host, the
Uiaticum, funerals, SC.
2. The interruption of such professions
has already been prohibited in orders, and
as no civilized person will ever wantonly
do an act to hurt the religious feelings of
others, it is earnestly requested of all
Protestant Americans either to keep out OF
the aUay, or to pay TO the Catholic religion
and its ceremonies every decent mark of
respect and Difference.
3. In the case of the viaticum Twists
of consolation to the sick and dying,
commanders of corps are requested, when
called upon, 10 allow two Roman Catholic
soldiers TO perform the usual functions on
such occasions.
4. There is every reason TO believe
that very large distribution of knives
and dirks have been made to liberated
convicts (thieves and murderers) for the
purpose of assassinating American SOL
diers found drunk or otherwise off their
guard.
5. Measures are in progress TO search
out and seize for execution the instiga-
tors and leaders of these assassins. In
the meantime guards and patrols will
search all suspicious persons, disarm,
and, if necessary, confine them for trial
and punishment.

A Curious H1sToRIcAL FAcr.-Du-
ring the troubles IN the reign of Charles
L., a country girl came to London in
search of place as servant maid, but not
succeeding, she hired herself to carry out
beer from warehouse, and was one of
those called tub women. The brewer
observing good-looking girl in this oc-
cupation, took her into his family as
servant, and after short time married
her. He died while she was young
woman, and left the bulk of his fortune
The business of brewing dropped, and
Mr. Hyde was recommended to the
young woman as a skillful lawyer, to ar
range her husbands affairs. HYDE, who
was afterwards Earl of Clarendon, find
ing the widows fortune considerable,
married her. By this marriage there was
no other issue than daughter, who was
afterwards the wife of James H., and
mother of Anne, Queen of England.

The Senator complained that he had ca
Illuminated him. Itwas beyond the power
of man to do it. Did not the Senator get
up here in the Senate and proclaim himself
a traitor? And he now complained of the
calumny that he (Mr. CO. had charged him
with being that which he openly avowed
himself to be.
Mr.. G. said that the Senator was man
for whom he had never much fancy. When
he came to the Senate, he (Mr G.. had de-
clined the usual courtesy, and had refused
an introduction to the Senator. After fur

multitude kissing, but stingless he always
applied it to the Senator His kissing was al
ways to be heard, but he possessed no sting
Mr.. JONES, of Tennessee, said that the
Senator could not conclude his remarks this
afternoon, and he therefore suggested that he
would yield to the motion to adjourn.
Mr.. CLEMENS said there was one thing
to which he desired to allude to. The Sena
tor had charged him with having made cor
rupt bargain with the Wing members of The
Alabama Legislature to secure his election tt
the Senate. The Senator had undertaken
to repeat here what no man in Alabama haC
ever dared to do in his presence. The Sena
tor had retailed base SANDER, and was a
bad as the originator of it.
Mr. G. then explained that his letter wa

The controversy between Senators Rhett
and Clemens was resumed and concluded.
Mr. Clemens being entitled to the floor rose
and continued his defence, begun the previ-
Gus day He said the " Senator from South
Carolina had brought before the Senate a
charge of corruption, which he had found in
a low scurrilous paper in Alabama, and had
attempted to give it dignity by reading it to
Senate Was he to submit to this? He
had repealed it in terms which it and the
manner of it's presentation here had deserv-
ed, by branding it as lie, language which
he never intended to recall" He then en-
tered into defence of his course relative
to the compromise measures, and bore down
heavily upon the Senator from South Caro-
lima declaring that no man entertaining Mr.
Rhett' sentiments, could be elected consta
BILE in respectable beat in Alabama.
Mr.. Rhett followed, stating that he ex
pected that when he repealed the insults o
the Senator that he would be met with re
newed insult, and he had not been disappoin
ted
He explained why he had not met the in
suit by an appeal to the code of honor, b,

THE AGE OF CHIvALRY-On Sunday
there was a scene on the New Orleans mail
line wharf, which deserves "brief mention. :"
Just before the boat left, small, eager, pref
ty little woman, dressed neatly in black
went on board and peered eagerly among the
passengers as if in search of lost lover or
about-to-runaway husband. Not finding her
object there, she returned to the wharf, and
as eagerly investigated the crowd which
usually assemblies there at the hour of de
parture Finally her eyes rested on an indi-
vidual, (who happened to be no other than
our active friend Leon Javelli,) and as quick
as thought she seized him, and drawing forth
whip, with the heavy end, and most dex
terous management, beat him quite unmer
cifully over the face and head, and wher
ever there seemed to be the most certainty
of giving pain. All occurred quietly in tn
presence and midst of crowd neither party
we are told, uttering word of complaint :
After the heorine finished her business, sh
quietly took her way up st. Louis street
turning neither to the right nor left Tn
victim disappeared, and is now, we suppose
in New Orleans
The motive for this strange scene no on
understood, but the little woman must hav
? been much wronged to undertake so heroic
t task Noble Tribune.

LATEST YET.-During the Summer of
1916, corn being scarce in the upper coun-
try, and one of the citizens being hard pres
sed for bread, having worn threadbare the
hospitality Of his generous ncighbors by his
extreme laziness, they thought it an act of
charity to bury him. Accordingly he was
carried towards the place of interment, and
being met by one of the citizens, the follow
ing conversation took place:
"Halloa. what have you there ?"
'Poor old Mr. S."
"What are you going to do with him ?"
"Bury him."
"What is he dead F? I dadn't heard Of
his death"
No he IS not dead; but he might as well
be, for he has no corn and is too lazy tC
work for any"
"That is too cruel for civilized people; II
give him two bushels of corn myself, rather
than see him buried alive"
Mr.. S. raised the cover and asked in hi
usual dragging tone, els it s-h-e-l-l-e-d p
Ono, but you can soon shell it."
