The FRAUDS WHICH ELECTED BucnAsAS.

The Grand Jury yesterday returned upwards
of ffig true bills against the election officers for tho
frauds perpetrated in October, in 1856. The Dis
trict Attorney has presented these cases as speed
lily as he could, owing to the fact that the pa

KENosHA, WIS, THURSDAY. OCTOBER l. 1857

Written on the Death of Zephyr Leonard.
Oh Zephyr II the wings Of flight given
To thy pure spirit do return from Heaven,
And with some Angel message from that misty shore
Oh, tell US IL the spirit iiveth eyermore.
When Death appears this vital cord to sever,
And chills the life blood Of the heart forever,
And lays this form so PROSTATE and decaying,
Oh, tell us ther, where is the spirit staying.
When the last tie that binds TO earth is broken,
The eye gives back recognizing token,
The pulses cease beat and all is hushed and dead
Oh tell then, where has the spirit fed.
Is death triumphant DER the spirit keeping
Endless vgils-is it in the grave now sleeping,
Or did tmount seraph wings in fight,
To unknown worlds of everlasting Light.
Come! tell ussf there is happy home
Where friendship regns and Death can never come;
Where kindred spirits dwell aud joy and peace
And love triumphant never, never cease. -
Sept. is, 1857.

Far down, and shining through their stiffness, lies
Thou hast the starry gems, the burning gold,
Won from ten thousand royal argosies.

Earth claims not these again
Yet more, the pillows and the depths have more
High hearts and brave are gathered TO thy breast
Tbey hesr not now the booming waters roar,
The battle thunders will not break their rest
Keep thy red gold and gems, thou stormy grave!
Give back the true and bravei
Give back the lost and lovely those for whom
The place was kept at board and hearth so long,
The prayer went up through midnghts breahess gloom
And the vain yearning woke midst festal song.
Hold fast thy buried isles, thy towers o'erthrown,
But all is not thine own
To thee the love of woman hath gone down,
Dark flow thy tides DER manhood's noble head,
Der youths bright locks and beautys flo very crown;
Yet must thou hear a voice-Restore the dead
Earth shall reclaim her precious things from thee!
Restore the dead, thou sea.

crashing of sound, the wild concord of hundred
instruments, you hear the shrieking along the
sllrll notes of the first fiddle. He is an enthu-

time with mad energy, enters heart and soul in

Responsibility young man in Virginia had
become sadly Incorporate. He was man of
great capacity, fascination and power, but he
had passion for brandy which nothing could
control Often in his walks, a friend re-
monstrated with him, but in vain as often, in
turn, would he urge this friend to take the So
cial glass in vain. On one occasion the latter
agreed to yield to him, and as they walked up to
the bar together, the barkeeper said
Gentlemen, what viii you havel'
Wine, SIR was the reply.
The glasses were filed, and the two friends
stood ready to pledge each other in renewed and
eternal friendship, when the one paused and said
to his Incorporate friend:
Now if l drink this glass, and become a
drunkard, will you take the responsibility 4
The drunkard looked at him with severity,
and said
Set down that glass;
1t was set down, and the two walked away
without saying word.
Oh the drunkard knows the awful conse-
quences of the first glass. Even in his own mad
ness for liquor he is not willing to assume the
responsibility of another becoming drunkard.
What if the question were put to every dealer,
as he asks for his license and pays his money :
Are you willing to assume the responsibility =
how many would say, if the love of money did
not rule. Take back the license =

CLEANING SILVER The following IS yalu-
able piece of information relative to the clean
ing of silver. Take glass or glazed vessel
sufficiently large for the purpose I'LL it with a
strong solution of borax, or Of caustc potash;
drop into it an inner vessel made of zinc and
pierced with holes as a seiye. Then take your
silver, plunge il into the liquid. moving it NJ
and down, being careful that, at each plunge, i
comes into contact with the zinc The effect is
magical for, under the combined action Of the
solution, and of the electricity evolved by ths
contact of the two metals the silver looses al
/ its dirt and discooration, and becomes as brigh
as when first manufactured. Should it not b
convenient TO use the inner vessel of zinc, tn
cleansing may be accomplished by sinking tn,
silver in the solution and stirring il about will
a small rod of zinc. IL is essential to succe
that the two metals touch each other frequently

A Cool AyENGER.-A certain English gen
tleman, who was a regular frequenter of the
green-room of Drury Lane Theatre in the days
stood quietly on the hearth rug there with his
back to the fire, in his usual place one night
when narrative was related by another gentle
man, newly returned from the continent, of a
barrier duel that had taken place in Paris. A
young Englshman--a mere boy--had been de-
spoiled in gambling house in the Palais Royal,
had charged certain Count with cheating him,
had gone out with the Count, had wasted his
fire, and had been slain by the Count under the
frightful circumstances ofthe Counts walking
up to him, lying his hand on his heart, saying,
you are brave fellow-have you mother ~
and on his replying in the affirmative, remark
ing coolly, II am sorry for her, and blowing
his victims brains out
The gentleman ON the hearth rug paused in
taking pinch of snuff to hear the story, and oh.
served with great placidity, ~ am afraid must
kill that rascal"
A few nights elapsed, during which the green
room hearth rug was without him, and then he
re-appeared precisely as before and only Incl
IDENTIFY mentioned in the course of the evening,
Gentlemen, l killed that rascal :" He had gone
over to Paris on purpose, and tracked the Count
to the same gambling house, had thrown glass
of wine in his face in presence of all the COM
pany assembled there, had to Id him that he was
come to avenge his young compatriot-and had
done it by putting the Count out of the world,
and coming back to the hearth rug as if nothing
had happened. -HousehOld WOrds
