And so they went to bed.

away to the library, and had long talk with
her She wept and smiled by turns during
the conversation.
When he came out from the library he met
his father in the hall, and he had talk with
him.
Half an hour afterwards he met the captain
in the parlor.

When Walter Evermond did fairly awaken,

Thr late Judge Wheeler.

The Oshkosh northeastern furnishes the fol-
lowing obituary notice and brief biography of
the late Judge Wheeler:
son the evening of January 22d, 1864,
Edwin Wheeler, Judge of the 10th Judicial
Circuit, sexpired at his residence on Algoma
street, in this city, in the 37th year of his
age.
Judge Wheeler was originally from Ohio,
and first moved into this country about the
year 1850, when he commenced the practice
of law at Neenah. In the year 1852 he was
elected County Judge, and in 1856 was re-
turned to represent this Senatorial District.
On the resignation of Judge S. r. Cotton, in
May, 1861, he was elected Junge of the 10th
Judicial Circuit, which office he held till his
| death.
Few men, at least in this section of the
country, holding so responsible position as
did Judge Wheeler have filled the Office so
| competentls and satisfactorily as he did
Liked and respected by all parties and all
| classes, he has gone from among us to the re-
greet of all who knew him, leaving vacant
place which cannot be filled by better, and
with difficulty, by as able, honest and upright
a man.
Judge Wheeler was buried on Tuesday =
There were funeral services at the Episcopal
| Church, where very appropriate sermon
was preached by Rev. Mr.. Half. There was
large attendance. In the procession the whole
bar of this county, together with some gen.
tlemen from other counties, attended as
mourners; and among the pail bearers we
noticed Judge Collins, of Menasha, Judge
Cotton, and Mr.. Ellis, of Green Bay, and Mr..
Hudd, of Appleton.
Flags in this city were half mast during
the afternoon.
| The House committee of public lands have
under consideration the subject of r. r.
grants to Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Mississippi and Wisconsin. The
law of 1854 provides that in case the roads
enumerated shall not be completed in 16
years, the lands shall revert to the u. S.
The committee has been instructed to inquire
whether it would be just and expedient to ex:
tend the time of the grants, several of these
! States now being in rebellion.

SOCIETY ON ITS FEET.-The "Staggerers" are
the pests of the ballroom. A staggerer can
generally be detected even before commenc
ing dance there is a peculiar vague and I'M
certain expression about the eyes; a nervous
anxiety about commencing, which never fails
to betray him. You see, from the moment of
his starting, that he is a doomed man his
unfortunate partner, perhaps unconscious of
the fate in store for her, is gazing another
way. Could she but see the expression of the
staggerer's face, we feel sure she would
pause ere taking the fatal step. We will sup
pose, however, after numerous false starts,
they are at last off. If, luckily, the corner
from which they start happens to be entirely
free from dancers they may, perhaps, survive
the first half dozen steps without a collision,
but their good fortune rarely lasts so long
certainly not longer By kind of magnetic
attraction the staggerer seems to bear down
against the first approaching couple, and then
commences a series of collisions of more or
less disastrous effect; thenceforth personal
identity is gone, and he becomes mere rack
et-ball, tossed about from one side of the
room to the other, until at last he seems TO
have just sufficient presence of mind left to
lead his bruised and lacerated partner to
sofa, where she may congratulate herself on
having at last obtained a haven of rest after
the perils she has undergone. Socie-

sW- A lady of this city, noted for the
acuteness and accuracy of her observation of
life and society, bears her testimony to a re-
markable physiological fact, owing to moral
causes, which is worth stating for the purpose
of its being verified. She affirms that of the
births taking place in this city, those which
occur in families whose attachment to the
Union is decided and Jealous, are mostly boys,
while in families where there is a decided
sympathy with the secession cause, they are
girls. The observation of our readers may
help them to instances confirming the fact,
or showing it to be mistake. 1t has often
been said that in countries wasted by long
wars which carry off the male population,
the male births largely predominate.-Neso
