The Wisconsin river has been higher Al
at this place for the last few days thar
it has been for the last fourteen years
and some old settlers, say, higher than ev.
known it before. The way it rears and
pitches, boils and tumbles, whirls and
foams through The Dells, is a caution to
raftsmen to keep out Of them; and, conse-
auently, none have ventured in during the
highest water There must be mighty
feet Of RATS collecting at the head Of the
Dells; and it will be an exciting scene e
stand on Dell Bridge and witness then
passage, when the water begins to fall, SC
that they dare run. Several have aread,
been partly stove up there this spring, ane
probably several more will be before the,
get through. "Old Wisconse" losses q
bout them, and plunges them under, as
lumber and life were of little consequence
to man. BY the way, the fellow who sale
he rode through with bunch of Lhingles
told the truth. The forward cribs Of the raf
doubled square under, and this man, with
twenty-five or thirty punches Of shingles
was thrown into the water. He caught 8
bunch Of shingles, and was tumbled safel,
through the rest of the Dells, and nearly
half a mile below, where he was rescued
by some men in skiff! 1t was remar
kable escape. One life was lost in thu
Dells last year, but we hope no such acci
dent will happen this year Kilbourn

WHAT IT CosTs TO SUPPORT THE Gov
EMINENT OF FRANcE.--The Paris G onsti-
t,stionnel, of April gives US some idea Of
the expense Of maintaining the govern
ment of France. The expenditures for
this year are put at l,716,0O0,O00, france
but the real sum commanded and spent by
the Imperial Government, is I'LL, 900,
O0O,--about taoo hundred and thirty mill
ions Of dollarsi The interest on the ma
tional debt is 800, 100000 of francs; the
Department Of War requires 343, 100000
that Of theNavy 1872, 100000. The etfec-
tive force of the army is $4,000 men and
$4,000 horses. For the whole civil in-
ternal administration of the Empire, there
remains sum of 800, 1000, 900 francs, which
includes allotments for education, public
worship, agriculture and roads, and all the
public works.

THE NECESSITY OF RECREATION
Games, gayeties, sports, spectacles, there
will be, as long as men have limbs,or eyes,
or ears. The Development here is as nat
ural as it is in the arts. You might as
well talk of extirpating music and paint
ing, as Of driving the common amusements
ont Of the world. Now, there are abuses
of the things. What are we to say of the
abuses LET them crush down and de-
stroy the things themselves do we SAY
But they cannot. Then let them be cut
off, There is really nothing else TO be
done. Elevate, refine, purify the public
amusaments. Let religion recognize and
restrain them. Let it not, as is too com
mon, drive them to license and extraya-
ganee; but let it throw around them its
gentle and holy bonds, to make them pure,
cheerful, healthful--helpful to the great
ends Of life. Whata blessed thing for the
world were.it, if its amusements could thus
be lescued, redeemed, and brought into the
service of its virtue and piety! 8

WARNING TO THOSE WHO VISIT MAR
lRIAGEAsLE GIRLs.-A Tease of breach 0
promise Of marriage has recently beer
tried at Rochester, in which the following
| is given as the subject of the judge
charge to the Jury.
The Judge charged that it was not nee
essary to maintain the existence of prom
ise Of marriage to prove that defendant il
express words or terms made promise te
plaintiff. Any circumstances which usual.
" accompany parties while holding the re,
lation Of an engagement in marriage might
properly be laid before a jury, and a sufi-
Gent 10 warrant tie opinion that such an
engagement existed, il was all the law re.
qnired. 1t Is not necessary that there
should be promise Of marriage in direct
|phraseology no formal promise isrequired
Frequent visits Of the parties-retiring
from the society of otbers--seeking to be
apart by themselves-expressio Of at
tachment-waks and occasional remarks
in the hearing Of others, are circumstances
usually relied upon to prove that mar
rage engagement exists, and if such are
strong enough to produce conviction upon
the mind, they are all that is necessary &c
answer the law.
It is hardly necessary to state how easy
under this ruling of the court, it is to es-
tablish contract Of marriage. Words
are not necessary; any acts Or behavior
which might induce Others to think that
two persons are engaged to be married
will raise the presumption that contract
exists.

A CANDID ADMIss1oN.--The democracy
admit that their friends-the democracy OF
Kansas designated by us as the border
guftans, are in favor of slavery there; but
they profess to have confidence that Kan
sas will be free State, as they profess to
desire it to he, because majority are free
State men orRepubieans. The ludierous-
ness Of the thing is that they are rejoicing
in the progress of their enemies in Kansas
The ike has never been heard of since the
DAYS of old hickory,when Jackson exclain-
ed "Save me from my friends" They
are political anomaly. If honest, why
not join the Republicans at once so, that
they can rejoice with their friends in the
common cause, freedom? Then they can
harrah for liberty and help oppose the ne
gro drivers--hurrah for white labor and OPP
pose the amalgamation of races. Instead
of raising this special pleading of blind,
pettifogging, having Janus faced humbug
of Popular Sovereignty, let them come
right to the scratch and help the free State
men sincerely snd pull-all-together with
the Republicans.

THE EVERGLADES OF FLoRIDA.-It is
stated as fact, that the water Of the
swamps or everglades Of Florida, have
found an outlet into the Gulf Of Mexico,

of vast public domain, as by the act Of
Congress these swamp lands belong to the
State. By an act OF her own Legislature
they are to be devoted to the construction

1856, the sum Of $355,OOo, money Of the

count footed up only some $4,000, and
the farmers Of that county were borrowing
money for their spring operations. The
deposits in the bank had been. drawn fol

Is our nation to be visited by this great

who have the independence to understand
the Constitution as they read it and not
as others tell them to understand it, are
invited to meet at Milwaukee to compare

have some say in this matter as well as a
