Hitherto, when it has been desired to express
the highest degree of financial acutsness, We
have referred to the Yankee Who sold wooden

seller Of 'eld indigo ie., blue colored cakes
Of starch. But Jonny Bull is now little ahead

Ewbank. She is good looking girl,
Of modest appearance, from Marquette

twenty years Of age. She has for some
time been employed as a school teach
er in Marquette, but has left the young
ideas to shoot trandom, while she goes
to encourage older ones to shoot at reb-
els.
Miss Ewbank appeared at the dress
parade last evening. Her uniform is
very neat, and was made, we under
stand, By Miss Belle Findlayson, Of this
city. It consists Of Zouave jacket,
Of blue merino, trimmed with blue and

trimmed with white, and gold lace,

ELECTION OF COUNTY CoMMIssIo77-

ELECTION OF COUNTY CoMMIssIo77-
EEs.-The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
"a question has arisen whether the
County Commissioners provided for by
the law Of the last Legislature, are to be
elected by the separate districts into
which each county is divided, or on a
general ticket by the county at large.
We presume it was the intention Of the
Legislature to have each district choose
its own member, but in this instance,
as most others, the Legislature failed to
express its intention intelIigibly. At
torney General Howe has written an
opinion that the County Commissioners
must be elected on a general ticket, as
other county oficers.''

We doubt not that both officers and

was just right, that "a man who will
