Col. Victor E. Piollet.

Our candidate for Congress is SO we'll
known to the people Of this District, as to
make it unnecessary for US to introduce
him by any extended notice His large
experience in public affairs pointed him
out as the very man for the times :-as
superintendent of Public Works, as Pay
master in the army in the war with Mex-
leo, and as member Of the State Legis.
lature, he has proved himself to be an
honest as well as capable public servant.
The corrupt schemes Of ambitious or ve-
nal men have always when known by him
been exposed and denounced in bold and
fearless terms-sehemes 10 rob the public
Treasury, such as the act to repeal the
tonnage tax, and all similar legislation
have been SO fiercely attacked and SO full.
ly ventilated by him as to make him an
object of hate to all that class of men who
are held together by the cohesive power
of public plunder.
He is farmer and large tax payer,
having deep interest in common with his
fellow-ciliEens in reducing the public ex-
penditures to the lowest possible point -
For years he has urged the great dspari-
ty between the salaries of officers and the
pay awarded to mechanics and other la
borers, as a reason for reduction of the
former. In short he is Democrat who
sympathises with the people in their wants
and wishes, who above all desires resto-
ration of peace and the integrity of the
Union, and who would lend every energy
to the accomplishment of these desirable
ends, in the shortest possible time.
We bespesk for him. the votes of all
who are willing to have peace upon the
basis of the Constitution and the Union
We do not expect that those who have set
up the negro as their God will give him
their support-Every other Elector we
hope will.

Our Winters.

Some people "down east,' residing
among the Green or White Mountains,
may be little curious to know what
kind of winters we have way up here in
Wisconsin. For their benefit, we win
give them a sample, from the La Crosse
Democrat, taking the present winter as
a guide. htAtt #al !.
Firstly. We have set of weather
cocks mp here that know more than musk
rats, brook trout or 1njuns." aTe
Secondly. 1t SHOWS when it feels like
it, and in as small or great quantities as
it has mind to. ta
Thirdly. We, like people in the old
country, let itsnow when it wants to.
Fourthly. 1t freezes. so hard that ice
forms from the surface to the bottom Of
the riyer-where it is shallow-hundreds
of tons of ice has been cut for packing
for summer use, so full Of fish that the
whole country is supplied the year round.
Filthy. The snow is white and of
good quality. so good that sleighs are
used instead of wagons, and no kerosene
is necessary to make them run smooth.
Sixthly. Snow falls to depth offrom
three to thirty feet. Transitory people
are often seen travelling over the tops
of houses, and the residents burrow up
like bears.
Seventhly. The winters last as long
as the choose; when the spring come
the snow melts and runs off.
Eighty. 1t is as cold as the length
of the thermometers will allow it to be !;
if they were longer, it would be colder.
The men milk cows-but they have to
keep stoves in their barns to keep the
streams Of tactical fluid from freezing as
it flows into the pail.
Ninthly. Persons building houses put
in heavy timbers and place them in po-
sition to sustain their roofs from cavine
IN. Snow is heavy as In most countries
where there is large body of it.
Tenthly. And lastly. If any one
seems disposed to doubt the facts above
stated, we viii apologize, and if they vii
give us a call, we Viii prove satisfactory
that we have once in a while mild win
ter, but it is not the present one. How
are goa. Brook Trout

GOLD BY THE SHOvEL-FULL.-A tradl
ton has been current for years that some
lost emigrants, in 1916, while wander
ing through the country DIR med by the
Malhuer, discovered mines where gold
could be rakea up by the hovel-full. At
the time, the discoveries were ignorant
of the characteristics Of gold in it's native
state, and accordingly they passde on,
regarding the metal as worthless. A
few years later some Of these men were
attracted to California, and on visiting
tho mines there, almost the first remark
was that they knew where bushels Of that
kind Of stuff were to be had. Since that
date scarce a year has passed that did
not witness the departure of companies
of men who were sent out for the purpose
of discovering the country described by
lhe immigrants. There exploring par
ties have uniformly proved failures, ow-
ing, in great measure, to the hostility
of the Indians, who have resolutely re-
fused to allow the white man to prospect
their country. At last, however, a par
ty more fortunate than the rest, have
succeeded in finding the long lost gold
fields, and, if reports are to be believed,
the story of it's richness has not been ex-
aggerated by the original discoveries =

Boys.

Some writer says that if every boy IN
could be cooped up in a
head at the age Of twelve, and keep
there like some useless commodity, I'M
til seventt en- or eighteen, it would be a
fine thing for society in general. We
viii not be quite so severe upon mascu-
line adolescence Welike, we even ad
naire boys, when they behave them
selves. and are ready to admit, that there
is something exceedingly pleasing in
A brave free-hearted, carol sss one,
With his unchecked unbidden jyy,
His dread of books and love OF fune
But. when this love Of "fun" degen-
crates into downright mischief and IN
blushing impudence, it is something that
can be tolerated by neither gods nor
men.
Though we cannot suppress a smile,
as we see these specimens Of incipient
manhood, staggering about, affecting
all the vices, but none Of the virtues OF
nlaturer years, yet from our hearts we
pity them, for we know they are on the
high road to ruin. Boys who smoke,
chew, drink, gamble, use vulgar, pro-
fame language, and stand at street cor
ners, leering at respectable ladies as
they pass, are the most repulsive objects
above ground, and the sooner they are
dead and buried, the better it will be
for society, and for themselves, for there
by, the State Prison may be cheated of
its occupants and the gallows Of its
prey.
Bad boys make bad men ; there is no
truth more evident than this, "My
George was always a good boy do
not wonder that he has become great
and good man" said Mary the mother
of Washington.
The saddest sight on earth, is the
wreck of what should have been a use
full, noble manhood The world fur
nishes many models Of the highest man

these, Boys, and shun as you would a

Railroad Speed.

Many fatal accidents occur on rail
roads by persons attempting to drive
across when the train is approaching
The danger lies in miscalculating the
rate at which car moves when under
full Roadway, which is said to beseventy-
four feet, or twice its own length in a
second
At this velocity the locomotive driv-
ing wheel, six feet in diameter, makes
four revolutions in a second, the piston
rod thus traversing the cylinder eight
times. If a horse and cart should APP
proach and cross the track at the rapid
rate of six miles an hour, an express
train approaching at the moment would
move towards it two hundred and seven
| ty-seven feet while it was in the act Of
crossing if the horse moved no faster
than walk, the train would move to-
wards it more than five hundred feet,
which facts account for the many acct
dents at such points. When the loco
motive whistle is opened at the post
eighty rods from the crossing, the train
will advance near one hundred feet be
fore the sound of the whistle traverses
the distance to, and is heard at the cross
ing.
