Wisconsin Meanness.

There is an instance recorded of thief
who, in his foraging, grabbed a gold med
al that Lad been awarded to the noble
old hero, Scott; thief as he was, he was
not mean enough to fail to appreciate the
claims of genius and returned the medal
with an apology.
1t remained for Wisconsin politics to
reveal a depth of mt anness that would
have put the professional thief to shame.
Our readers all remember James G..
Percival, the scholar, poet, man of science
and genius. A very poor old man,
blessed with fame, but doubly cursed with
poverty: whose brow, though decked
with laurels, was wrinkled with care. He
hailed his appointment as Geologist to
the new western State of Wisconsin as
the means by which he might crafty his
few simple wants without the sacrifice of
his sterling independence.
AS innocent of the ways of the world
as child, and most confdingly unsuspi-
cious, his last days were ombitter cred with
vague conjectures as to the cause of the
injustice which deprived him of the means
of satisfying his few desires, and he died

withheld from him the wages OF bis assiu-

The reason Of this was that Perclval 5

Dr.. Percival died early in May 1885,
and thu investigating committee appointed

Governor, had then in his possession a

Mr.. McAlster presided, and made speech
attributing all the present difficulties to
the n. Y. Banks, in first expanding to the
amount of seven million dollars in thirty
days, and then contracting twelve million
of dollars in two months. He advocated
a general banking law, and the banks to
be requested to have one dollar in specie
to every dollar of issue. Various speech
es were made representing the distress
existing in the community, and urging q
renewal of the public confidence in the
banks as the only relief of hundreds from
bankruptcy and ruin. A series of rcso-
buttons expressive of the sense of the meet
ing was adopted, and memorial to the
Legislature, em5oiying the sentiments of
the residents, was signed by those in at

Henry Ward BeecIler on tlae
Financial Crisis.

Rev. Henry Ward Beechcr made tho
present financial revulsion the subject Of
his sermon last Sunday, both morning
and evening. Denouncing, in Language,
almost unmeasured, the stock gambling
and other DISTINGUISHES of the day, as ths
prime cause of the present revulsion in
mercantile affairs, he yet contended that
the great ship of state is perfectly sound;
that there is money enough, means e.
nough, prosperity enough; and that moth
ing is wanting save the trust of man in
man-public confidence to restore all
things to rights, and make the way once
more smooth. The great ship is unin-
iured," said he; "the crew has only been
frightened at ghost and scampered from
their duty down the matches. No won
der the vessel rolls and pitches. If the
men will come back and take the helm,
and guide her on her course, she will
bound along as majcstically as ever; but
if this is not done, her ,nasts may rolf
out, her masts and sails be rent assunder,
and she turned on her beam ends" In
conclusion, he made strong appeal tn
Christian men to carry their Christianity
into their business; to help their weak,
brethren; to encourage the faltering; and,
placing their confidence above, to act as
became their position, fearing NOT tho re-
suit.
