TRuLr WIsE.-A cheerful old gentle
man, between 80 and 90 years old. was
in our Office the other day, and in the
course Of chat we asked him what was
the principal practical lesson he had
learned in his pro,racted life. Said he.
the essence Of what l have seen and
learned, teaches me to laugh when l
can, and cry when l must" have
learned also to beware Of endorsing
The man who invented endorsing has
ruined tens Of thousands Of business
men. My principal losses were caused
by attempting to help others. If an
embarrassed man comes to you for aid,
thet true course is to tell him to fail & first.
it fail he must, and you will help him
after his failure and not before. The
trus course is. for an embarrassed man
to stop payment promptly. Ifyou attempt
to help man he will hate you. Men
always hate those to whom they are un-
der obligations; if you expect gratitude,
you deserve ingratitude. according to
the practical working of things" This
was the experience Of an old man, who
said, also, that "one Of the principal
things have learned, is that things new.
er turn out so bad as we feared, or so
good as We. expected. have learned to
take very cody whatever comes along"

Mrs. Dickson's New Pettiooat.

A meek. quiet looking person, calling
himself John Dickson. was detected OF
Friday in the very act of stealing large
roll OF red flannel from the doo- of 4
dry good store in Eighth street. HI
did not deny the fact, but attempted te
palliate his offence by the following ad
dress to the Mayor:
"Sir, confess that / did take the
aannin; but when you hear arhy I tool
it. you will say that l am an unfortunate
man, and ought to be pitied. My wife
says to me yesterday morning:
"'John I've got a two dollar note

she, for you know your weakness and

Nixon & Kemps Circus

With its immense troupe of Chinese,
Arabian, German, French, English and
American performers, is announced to
celebrate the Fouth of July in Madison.
1t will peaform here also OH the Sd
This troupe is everywhere spoken of in
terms Of the highest eulogy, and draw
ing immense crowds whereveritappears.
Accompanying Nixon e. KEMp's estab-
lishment is the great musical steam in
strument, called the "Calliope." The
following notice of this attractive nov
city, appeared in the Chicago Times the
day after the circus left that city:
"THE CALLIopE.-The latest, and in
some respects the greatest, musical
novelty of the age, the Calliope. arrived
in this city yesterday, and filled the
streets, alleys, vacant lots, and all other
| places accessible to sound, with its five.
hundred horse power music. A larger
audience was attracted than ever assem-
bled to hear Parodi, La Grange, or any
other musical celebrity of the human
species; and what was more, such was
the potent spell of its high-pressure
notes that the Calliope, like Orpheus'
Tyre, drew after it men, boys, dogs, DON
keys and vehicles of all descriptions,
wherever it went. .-.
This instrument (or engine, as the
case may be, consists simply of num-
Der of steam whistles. precisely like
those in use on ! comotives; bu. of diff.
ferent sizes, and the notes of all care
fully graduated according to the musical
scale. The steam. which is generated
in boiler on separate vehicle behind,
is conducted to them by pipes, and con-
trolled by stops upon keyboard, like
that Of the organ or pianoforte. The
number of whistles is forty-four lem
bracing three octaves with the necessary
flats and~eharps) and the tone of each
may be graduated by contrivance by
which it is brought nearer or removed
from the orifce through which the jet
of steam escapes, so that music of al
most any quality, and certainly in any
quantity, may be executed upon this
mighty instrument. The music is aw-
fully powerful, and nearly beats the
Emusic of the spheres" in every quality
except sweetness. 1t yells, howls,
screeches, and in fact is a perfect baby
walker. 1t may be heard, it is said. at
distance of fifteen miles, and one man
whose auricular organs were saluted by
it at about that distance, declares that
he supposed it to be Gabriel blowing
the last trumpet. Another who was on
a railroad train, thought that the bridge
was breaking down, and engine, cars,
and all, were rushing into zone eternal
smash" To us, the first tuns which
We heard performed on the Calliope
sounded more like the internal din which
every morning at seven O'Clock screach-
es in the ears of Chicago from innumer-
aole and vociferously blown steam
whistles, than anything else We now
think of. The Calliope is certainly a

ConS AND Hoos.-From carefully
conducted experiments by different per-
sons, it has been ascertained that one
bushel of corn will make little over
lO1 pounds of pork-gross. Taking
this result as basis, the following de-

would do to lay by for convenient ro-
ference. That. ..-. -s 5-r-

How Lager-Beer is Made.

We enter the brewery, and the frs
object that greets our eye is an exten
sive malt boiler. This boiler is mad,
of sheath copper, and is capable of hold
ing 22 barrels, or 6s4 gallons. The
malt is. after being ground, poured in
to this kettle and boiled four hours
then it is dipped out and goes to tn,
mali-mash, where it undergoes sligh
manipulation. It is then returned t.
the kettle and is boiled again, then sen
back to the pit for another stirring up
This operation is repeated three several
times, when it is placed in the bcilsl
for the fourth and last time, on which
occasion the hops are added. Af,el
this fourth boiling. the liquid is drawr
off and placed in the cooling box o.
shoal-pit.
We now 60 to tho cellar, which has .
leyel entrance from the north side of the
brewery. After penetrating conside,
rable distance into the solid earth, VIC
descend fligh. of steps, some II feet
and enter the main cellar. Oneach side
are piled up huge hogsheads, each hold
ing Is barrels. to the height of IS feet
These arc filled with the generous and
cooling liquid called Lager Beer. We
now proceed to the fur herest extent o.
this underground vault, and are 1873 feet
from the entrance, and upwards Of 81
feet below the surface, and protected by
a brick arch overhead.
Looking up through shaft. which
has been sunk from the top, speck oi
daylight is percep,ible far above. This
shaft admits the hose by which the liquid
is conveyed from the cooler to the hogs,
heads, where it gets sufiiciency ol
common yeast to work it. II is then
hermetrically sealed and not opened un-
til it has remained in the hogsheads six
months, when it is fit for use. The
hoysheads are placed on saralled sills OF
log sleepers. which are called lager in
the German hence the name lager beer.
In this cellar is slowed away some six
hundred barrels of beer. Since the pro-
prie,ors commenced operation they have
sold and given away some s2,4O0
worth.
