PRARIE FIREs.-These annual pesti-

forest at this time of year. Their poetry
has lost favor with us since witnessing their
destroying effects upon several farms

setting prairies on fire, there are some who
violate the law and endanger peoples
property by fire. As tho country i'm

wiling property for consumption by prairie
fires, and SO are bay stacks. There is no
remedy for prairie fires but soaking rain

Stick TO THE FARM Amid your plans
for the future, never, for one moment har-
Dor the idea Of lettering your condition by
entering the area Of commercial life. Do
not exchange home Of quiet real enjoy
men',, for the turmoil and illusion Of city
residence. Barter not sweet repose for WIS.,
ions Of empty wallets, nor let notes due on
the morrow assume the prerogatives
Of the nightmare. Very poor comforters
for care and anxiety are these little realities
in the commercial world. Stick to the
farm. What though hard labor be the
every day command, it is noble, heaIthful.
and conductive to the full development of
the whole man. Rural New Yorker.

FARM FOR PRESIDENT PrnRcE.-A, tel:
egraphic dispatch from Vicksburg, dated
May 9th, states, on the authority of the
Whig Of that city, that 500, 900 were sub
scribed on the day previous for the purpose
of purchasing plantation for Elk asi-
dent Pierce.
This is but the beginning; other promi-
nent democratic politicians will probably
seek Virginia as their asylum. They can
stand it no longer in the land of the free
and home of the brave, where millions
toll as freemen-not one as slave! The
rattle of their late battle is alarming and
is song in their ears set to the Rogue's
March and play ed upon the harp of a 1000
strings-"Oh carry me home to old vir-
ginia, to old Virginia ashore!"

Notwithstanding of money, we think
borrowers, in this city, who pay from to
per cent month for its use, are well
off. For instance, look at the rates Of
money in ST. Paul, Minnesota. The rates
of interest there conform to no uniform
rule at all, but are entirely capricious, de-
pending altogether upon the exigences Of
the borrower. The regular rate Of inter-
est upon loans is from 8 to 10 per cent. a
month, and for The week ending April 4th.
the rate had been fifteen per cent or ono
hundred and eighty per cent. per annum.
At this rate man who, on the first of
May, borrows $1,000 for a year., gives his
note for the thousand dollars, and hands
over to the broker in addition eighteen
hundred dollars in cash. Borrowers stand
a poor chance in Minnesota, it seems. A
man having six hundred dollars can 90 to
Minnesota, lend it out, and receive salary
Of one thousand and eighty dollars per an
um, for the mere use of his six hun
dred dollars. Great place, that St. Paul.

"Western wisconsin Railroad

This is new organization for building
a Railroad from Dunleith to Prairie du
Chen, following the eastern shore of the
Mississippi and passing through Potosi,
Cassville and Wyalusing. Should the
Road be built Grant County will be glori-
fed and sanctifed in all time to come
through the achievement. Old things will
be reyolutionised as by electric shock and
old Grant will be the richest county in the
west.
Should the Illinois Central Company
aid in the enterprise of building railroad
to Prairie du Chien-equal to at least
half the stock, we could have reasonable
faith in its being genuine and certain
work. We are not sure, however, wheth-
er the proprietors of lands and village lots
along the route are at the head of. it, who

taken in good faith. We remember the

ElectriCity-its Influence ON the
weather.

Electricity is, in itself, cold; hence an
increased quantity in any particular lati-
tude or locality tends to lower the tenn
perature Of such place until the equilibri-
um is restored And as electaicity is the
immediate cause Of all life, an increased
quantity or surplus Of electricity will give
life, where it did not previously exist, and
also give an impetus to all preexisting
forms of living NATTER animal or vegeta
bic. Now, it is this accumulation Of cleo
tricity, modified somewhat By the site of
the locality with regard to the confgura-
ration Of the surface, its latitude, &c.)
which gives our cold winters and springs,
and fruitful and healthy summers which
follow. On the other hand when the
quantity Of electricity becomes negative
all nature languishes, and disease and de-
cay mark the limits of the deficiency; for
example: recall to mind the cold winters
of 1886, ls43 and 1880; also the winter
of 1857, which many Of us undoubtedly
remember. We have also had an extreme
ly wet season next succeeding each of the
first three years above mentioned; then
two or three fruitful seasons--hence we
musi analogically conclude that the year
1887 will be remarkably wet, and 1859
and go unusually prolific and productive.
Let all who may feel interested "foresee
the evil and hide themselves" by raising
an abundant supply the present season,
which will be favorable notwithstanding its
apparent backwardness. /. '.In the morning
sow thy seed and in the evening withhold
not thy hand, for thou knowcst not which
shall prosper, this or that, or whether it
will be alike good" O. GARvIN.
