Tiken essas Of WASHINGTON

From statements which have been made it APP
pears that all the Ikencsscs and pictures which
we see of Washington are unuuthful, hearing lit
tie or no resemblance to the great original. The
only reliable likeness of Washington now cxtant
is in the State Capitol at Richmond, Virginia 1t
was taken by IIoudon, one Of the most eminent
seupors of his day; its faithfuncss is atestcd by
the fact that Washington submitted to have cast
of his person taken by which complete transfer
made of the original. This it is stated was
done in the 54th year of his age; after he had ac-
conIqli,hcd the independence Of hi, country and
retired from official life The following letter from
gentleman well known in this city. will be found
interesting on this subject

zed fire department, ID. but repeats the frequently
expressed sentiment of the people of the City.
As regards additional reservoirs, contract was
made two or three months since with Mr., John
Riley Tor the building Of three, one to be located
not far from West Main street, on the north side
of Market, in the first ward, and two in the third
ward, one near the southeast corner of the Park,
and the other the north east corner of the lot
occupied by G. Kimball, Esq The contract time
for the completion of these reservoirs has about OK
PRED, so we arc informed and as the work has
not been done, we suppose the city authorities will
soon be looking into the matter, to ascertain the
of the failure and 10 enforce against the con-
tractor, as far may be proper the obligations or
penalties Of his bond. The City Council will
doubtless provide for the reettng of the work, and
its completion at the earliest possible moment
And we trust, while their hand is in, they viii also
take measures for securing the north, as well as
the middle and south wards, with proper facilities
for the extinguishment of fires

Editor kenosha Telerrnnh

Has the editor of the Democrat merely met with
4 slip of his pen, in making the statement under
the head OF the ProhibitOry Liquor Law in his last
paper, or does he mean to be understood that, as
in the last paragraph, the Legislature would NOT
pass such 4 luw should every man vote in its ia
yor. Really, am inclined to think him in !ear-
nest, and as understanding what the views of the
Old line democrats are in this matter from the ac
ton OF the last Legislature. lie was there and may
be supposed TO understand all the uuderworkings.
Would it not be we'll to call the especial attention
of the readers of the Telegraph TO this fact, and to
the statement of the Democrat.
1t is the strongest thing in nature almost, that
people will at this day, after seeing so much and
long as all must have seen, the undetermined and
high-handed Disregard of the wishes Of the people
fairly expressed, still cling to that old bcfogged and
rotten party, merely for the sake Of the name of
ds1a0"TGt
1t IS nothing uncommon now to hear men in "a
of the Main law say that the democratic party
is the only party that will make an enactment for,
and carry out the principle of the Main law All
such ought to read the article here alluded to when
it does seem they would change their views in re-
gard to the matter. MAINE LAW.

Fire and Fire Department,

Was not that good display of the activity and
energy Of the Fire Department at the fire on
Monday Go where WILL we cannot find great
cr promptness. At the alarm Of the bell one can
hardly drop his employment and get to the fire. but
he finds the engines already there as if bv magic.
all this to come by accident! Such kind Of acct
dents which in our city happen just SO every time
can only come by the most perfect system. As
soon as the danger seems over, those not connect
ed with the department return to their business
but do they suppose the Engines drag themselves
home, dry and mend their own pipes, and get
themselves ready Immediately for action again (!
II not then it strikes me there must be good deal
Of hard work done by some body ont of sight
work, not of the most agreeable kind, but sure TO
be done and we'll done. The whole Department
seems to be kept in high perfection and proving
itself again and again most efficient in emergcn-
cies, has become pride of the city.
Bat there Is a large and well bullt part OF the
city mean all that part around the park, and
south and west of it-that is wholly unsupplied
with reservoirs and which, in case of fire, would
be almost wholly out from under the protection Of
this Department. The few wells, mostly small
and under cover Of buildings, would very soon be
exhausted.
In the spring ii was announced in the papers
that several new Reservoirs were contracted i'm
nediately TO be built in those localities Now. in
case of fire there, and severe loss Of property and
perhaps of life, for want of water on whom would
the responsibility fall? 1t is surely somewhere
Those veinities have paid their proportion of pub
lie taxes for the purchase Of engine and hose. and
may justly demand as their right a little more ac-
tiyity in the corporation if the matter rests with
them, toward affUrding the desired protection.

G2~ln consequence Of a late strike among the
printers at Pittsburg, Mrs Swisshelm of the Visi-
tor, now employs girls 10 do her type-setting, and
is herself learning the art. She predicts that in
few years men type settlers will be as scarce as men
miiners now are. Certainly there is no business
in the world, as it seems to US, better adapted to
women than that of type-setting. When we talk

only fair to let her sphere embrace every thing for
which she is best adapted If, however, we ana

Walw2rth Countv.

How is it, friends of Waworth. Arc YOU doing
what ought to be and may be, done i'll the present
canvass? Recollect, your state senator now to be
chosen, will have vote in the election of Il Uni
ted States Senator to succeed l. p. Walker. We
have hope that Walkers successor will be Of Il
very different school of politics from his and VIC
and all others who entertain that hope, are look
ing with anxiety to the result Of present Sc
Material elections. One vote in the legislature
may determine this matter, therefore we hope our
friends in Wnlworth will spare no honorable effort.
Dr. Mills, it seems TO us is worthy of every Free
Democratic vote. We know Of no righteous into
rest but that would be safe in his hands. You can
elect him Go TO work, and do it, for the sake Of
Walworth county, and the sake also of the State.

The editor of the GAINESVILLE Gazette
has been trying to pump Mr.. Baird with ref
erence to his position on the prohibitory Ii
quor law, but never word Of satisfaction,
does Mr.. Baird vouchsafe. The nearest he
comes to it is tosay that the veto powershould
never be used except to prevent reckless and
dangerous legislation, or clear violations of
constitutional or vested rights. AS Mr.. Baird
is generally understood to be violently hostile
to prohibitory law, it would have been fair
for him to have told which Of these heads lie
classes it under. Will any sane reasonable
man tell us, if Mr. Baird is in favor of such
a law, why he should not say so; and is not
the fact that he refuses to say so, conclusive
against him? We are quite sure no tenn
perancc man will throw away vote OH Mr..
Baird
