How TO KEEP FURs.-A few days
more and furs will be superfluous, md
then comes the process Of putting them
away so that moths shall not invade them.
1t is stated that the best way to insure inn
munity from destruction, is to pack all in
a trunk or box lined with brown Holland,
first sprinkling them literally with black
pepper. This is better even than camphor
for dealers in ftiis are often yictimized by
chronological pests, though their goods be
saturated with this powerful odor. Before
packing away furs they should be well
beaten to dislodge any larvae that, despite
the most scrupulous care, may be deposited
in them. The superiority of pepper to
camphor as a preservative to furs consists
in the fact that, while larvae will ineubate
among camphor, there is something in the
aroma Of pepper which destroys them in
embryo.

Is IT True SENATOR WIGFALL Of Tex
AZ used the following language, few days
since, in Congress: "These northern PEG
pie, Of all parties, are mean, despicable sci
Of staryelings, unable to see beyond dol
lar, and caring for no consideration except
money. Threaten them, and they vii
crouch to your feet like SO many hounds.
Only swear that you are going to dissolve
the union, and the timid creatures will get
down on all fours, bite the dust, and kiss
the rod raised to chastise them.' The Sen
ator applied this language to Northern Re
publicans and Democrats Unfortunately.
As if to show that it is no piece of empty
brayado, the Charleston papers declare that
the houses of that city win never be SO
closely watched and secured as when the
Democratic Convention shall be in session,
with its host Of retainers precipitated upon
them.

will correct Mr.. Cooks's statement.--
First, although / left his "bed and board. 2
it was not without his consent and oppro-
bation. He states without s.iust cause or
proyocation, this is not true. His parents,
with whom We lived, were continually tor
menting me, and trying to influence him
to do the same; and firmly believe, that
his conduct is but the result of their coun-
sci.
The 14th oflast January, Mr.. Cook took
me and my clothing, from his fathers to
Mr.. Benz. Hudson's, where remained TN
I'll the 18th Of February; at which time nv
brother Carlisle Fry came from EIenbero'
for me. Mr.. Cook helped me put my
clothing into fathers wagon and we went
to Mr.. Samuel Cooks, { a brother of my
hnsband) where my husband met me in the
evening and promised to meet me at Ellen
boro' in four or six weeks from that time.
| went to Ellenboro' where | waited for
him until the goth Of March. During nv.
stay | wrote him two letters, but received
no answer. | then went to Beetown, but
was surprised to learn that he bad been
gone about week, where | could not find
out
! was still more surprised however, by
the "CdWaoa" above mentioned, which
soon after appeared in your columns.
| do not think that my husband would
have done as he has, had he not had coun-
selors, whom ] am confident have circulat-
ed reports about me, which it would troub-
le them to prove and which are entirely
false, and which it might not be safe for

RHODE ISLAND ELEoTIoN.-T The De
mocracy of Rhode island, like the Democ-
racy Of Wisconsin. succeeded by running a
for Governor and electing him.
About the time Of the election Mr.. SpRAGUE,
the man run by the Democrats, came out
and announced by card that he was Re
publican, had always voted that ticket and
would probably always continue to do 50.
On this assurance enough Republicans yot-
ed for him to elect him. His election is,
however, claimed as Democratic victory,
same as Dixon's. These are victories IN
Anownin the history ofparties, where Demo
Gratis run Republicans, with boiling Repub-
licans elect them and then cry " Democrat
&c uictory" Democrats may beat US in
the Free States with Republican candidates,
but with Democratic candidates, never!

POVERTY, CHILDREN AND HUcKLEBER-
RrEs.-A gentleman who carries on driv-
ing business in Lancaster says that in that
part Of New York where he was brought
up, poverty, children and hucldeberries were
the only products worthy Of MENTION
The parents were unable to raise their chill
dren, but turned them loose as soon as able
to walk, and allowed them to live among
the huckleberry bushes. At adult age
they were caught with dogs and brought
home to perform manual service, voting,
&c. His part Of the State was excessively
Democratic until Of late, when American
ism slept in and swept the roost.

School LIBRARY LAw.--The proposed
School Library Law failed TO pass the leg
islature and the law of a presions session

and all other institutions for sapping and
mining the public school fund.

DIXON PROBABLY ELEcTEp.

The chances are that we are beaten on

treacherous republicans who have under.

treated their numerous readers before cleo
ton with such mixed doses aswere calculated
to promote indifference, neutrality and dis
gust.
The day after election, the Journal an
nounced as follows:
"Nearly every Republican lawyer in The
city supported Dixon, and it was impossi
bic to draw party lines as closely for iu-
dicial az for political office. In the ru-
raj districts, however, the Republicans OF
Dane county, so far as heard from, seem
to have generally cast their votes for Judge
Sloan, and in some OF the towns he has
gained considerably over the vote for Gov
ernor last fall.
p. S. Since writing the above we have
returns from some towns in the west and
southwest Of the county, whore Republi-
influences seem to have been at work fol
Dixon"
Dixon's majority in Madison was 757,
while the democratic majority for mayor
was but 0. In Dane County Dixon had
2O0O majority, which tells the whole tale.

BAD MANAeEMENT.--A gentleman re-
siding in the northwest part Of this county,
known to us as worthy and honest man,
aud earnest hearted fellow, having a devo-
ted wife and several children to share his
rnisfortunes, called on us one day this week
to relate some of his troubles which he did,
to his relief and for our benefit, so far as
this item is co lcerned and the effect it may
have upon our readers. Some three years
ago, wishing to extend his dominions like
other monarchs are constantly DESTROYS Of
doing, even though such extension may cost
them their homes OF thrones, as in the case
Of Napoleon, was compelled to borrow $45.
90 Of neighbor. Once in, he was unable
to earn his way out, so he let the $4,000
run at % per cent, for a long time. Still
failing to raise the money wherewithal he
had bought an extra forty of land to inn
poverish himself, the note was sued. Since
then the costs have run until the following
is exhibited, as the abstract shows.

PLANT TREEs.-The present is proper
time to plant trees, except that the ground
is rather dry. The early season and great
number Of good working days people have
been favored with the present spring, has
enabled them to get through with their
spring work in goe time and have plenty
to spare for ornamenting their lots and
farms with trees. Experienced men say
that no work pays so well as tree planting,
particularly if fruit trees be planted. They
answer as vel for ornaments and shade,
besides the fruit, and are but little more
troubIe-that trouble a pleasure.

only be released by Kentuckian himself,
who, finding be had caught an Irishman
and Tartar, voluntarily surrendered him..
The surrender was not forced by the court
nor by The marshal, for the Fugitive Slave
Law tied their hands. If the Constitution
sanctions slavery at all, we have not doubt
but that the Irishman became lawful
slave the moment Kentuckian made oath Of
his being such.
True issues are being forced upon the
country-in defiance Of all the demagogues
and parties. All parties are struggling to
conceal these facts that if the Constitution
sanctions slavery at all, it sanctions it vherey-
er the Amerieanfiag floats; also, that all men,
irrespective Of color, are liable to be made
lawful slaves. But we deny the whole
doctrine assented to by party platforms,
that slavery is Constitutional at all. When
we change, we expect to knock under to
South Carolina or advocate change in the
Constitution.

JUDICIAL ELECTION RESULT IN GRAM
COUNTY.

The following is the result Of the election
on Sloan and Dixon. The State Journal
noticed some days ago that the few returns
then received from our county indicated
that the vote Of Sloan in Grant had fallen
behind that Of Randall los: tfall-the Jour
mails wish being father to the thought
It viii be noticed that the Journals hope
has not been realized. The treaehery Of
the Journal and its forty Dane Comfy law
yers and one thousand republican voters
has given US Dixon and disgrace; but This
is not the end, as win be seen BY the fol-
lowing vote of old Grant--a county that
never flew the track and never will, except
to square with some traitor Of Dane who
fee Is ct Millers trough, plays the bogus
Prodigat Son, returns to the republican
camp and asks to be elected chief.

BOsCOBEL ELECTION.

We find in the Boscobel Democrat the
following notice of the first annual Town
Election of Boscobel:
at being the first election, we much re-
greet that it was not strict party VOTE
The result il, amajolit1 IF the officers elect
cd are Republican, and enc Of the Supervis-
ors was elected by drawing. Had the Dem
ocratic ticket stood as it was originally NOM
mated, and straight Republican ticket
only nominated, there is little doubt in our
minds that nearly all Of the former would
have been elected. But among the causes
Of defeat there was some deceit, treachery,
log-rolling, and bargaining Oh both sides,
little illegal voting, and perhaps chang
ing Of the vote Of the wood-train men. All
together they cast a greater number Of rnu-
tilated tickets than we ever saw Ia / 80 votes
before"
