correspondent OF the Wisconsin CHE
thus sums up the characteristics or huma
existence:
"All confidence is lost between man an
man. The bottom has fallen out of every
thing. Shrewd business managers ar
cheating God 10 their professions. and th
devil In their bargains. Ginger Is made ou
Of mustard, and coffee Of ctickory. Youn,
Hyson 10 raised in tho COW pasture, en-.
Young America 10 the dram shop. Pur,
wines ere made Of poor whiskey, and Tia
vanna's Of herbs. Rascaliiy has become
virtue, and 70, gu, turned to vinegar Leg
islators are marked as merchants mari
goods. and the peoples funds absorbed by
charitable purposes.
Governors are knocked of for $4,000
Legislators from 5000 TO $4,000. Rail
road stock is down below zero. Cancusses
are packed, and young men electioneer On
the Sabbath. Fairbanks scales have take en-
to swindling, and old rats sell their tails 10
spike cannon. Jewshafps are paIaed Of
rs harps Of a thousand strings sperets OF
just men made perfect. Seusuges sre sdrl.
terated, and tempting links seem 10 wag in
the mos, logged manner. Our territory as
well as crinoline, is indefinitely expanding.
ln fine there are none more truthful ths n
horse jockeys; none patriotic save the poll
ticuns; none talented but those who make
on change Of a grocery corner. and cheat
out Of the needy what they give the Lord.
