"Picture and frame--both are beauti-
full" spoke Mr.. Dixon in an emphatic
tone.
Mrs. Dixon bent down toward the pic
ture, knitting her brows, and looking
critically, not at the sweet, dreamy, pen
sive face of "Evangeline," but at the
frame.
THAT has been rubbed, "she said, lay.
ing her finger on small dingy spot not
larger than fly's wing.
"Never mind, its only a tribe, and
won't be noticed by one in a hundred"
said Mr.. Dixon. "Look at the picture.
Look at the face" "
"Ohl it'sa miserable frame! You've
been cheated. Just examine that joint
l could run knife into it. / never saw
such piece of work"
Mr.. Dixon's heart began to feel like
lead. N@
"Ohl that's a triAe," he answered,
"and not worth consideration. Let us
enjoy the picture. Turn your eyes up
on the face, and you will not be able to
see anything else. How singularly at
tractive it is; not SO much for its beauty
as for its expression-so fixed and calm
yet revealing SO much Of that "hope de-
ferred which maketh the heart sick."-
1t holds your gaze as by spell. 1t is a
common and yet an uncommon face. You
seem to read all its meanings at glance;
but the longer you gaze at it the fuller it
seems of mystery. 1t is the one face
among thousand to which you turn
again and again, and never tire Of look
ing"

her favorite picture, but veil had drop

beauty. L,..as- rafags

aponded. IL a1 af ~gl r.

tones were growing sharp. and they cut
the ears of her husband painfully. "Just
look at this side, and now at that. There
is half an inch difference in the mar

os"I wonder what your eyes are worth!
Just look here" and Mrs. Dixon took a
strip Of paper and measured from the left
hand side Of the frame across the white
margin to the edge Of the picture. "Do
you see that?" and she marked the dis,
tauce on the paper. "Eow see here, .
laying the measure on the right hand
side, San eighth Of finch difference"
Not sixteenth, nor half sixteenth
replied Mr.. Dixon, with whom diaap>
pointment was passing into annoyance.
"1t is scarcely appreciable, and scarcely
worth thought. Why don't you look
at the picture, and not at the frame?"
"It's more than sixlesnth.' said

Tisfranchisea.

The Board Of Registry Of this town at
their preliminary meeting on Tuesday last
in making list Of those entitled to vote,
we're governed by the act Of congress Of
March 81, the Presidents proclamation in
relation to that act, and the Attorney
Generals Opinion as to the legality Of the
action Of congress The act referred to
dclsres the following classes to have for
feitcd the rights Of citizenship:
/. Deserters from the military or ma
val service who did not report for duty
on o. 54jore the 10th day Of May 1865.
9. Daserters from the military or ma
val service s5ncc the 10th day Of May, 8 s..
3. All persons who hariag been duly
enrolled, departed the jurisdiction Of the
district in which they were enrolled, or
have gone beyond the lines Of the United
States, to avo5d aay draft into the military
or naval service of the United States.
Ia regard to those named as the first
and second classes, there can be 10 doubt,
and it is clearly the duty Of the Board Of
Registry to omit their names in making
the list But it is rather difficult task
to ascertain beyond a doubt, who actually
did depart the district in which they were
enrolled, for the sole purpose Of a0oidjaq
tie dratt. The registry list for the town
Of Dodgeville, which will be found else
where in this issue, will probably contain
the names ofsome who come under the
structures Of this law, and if so, they should
be stricken off.
This can be done, by the affidavit Of two
persons, proving to the satisfaction Of the
Board that such persons, have been dis
franchised, by act Of congress, or are in
any other way unqualified to vote at the
coming election. Any names Of qualified
voters which may have been omitted from
the list, can be added by the applicant ap-
pearing before the Board at their final
meeting on Tuesday Oct. 3lst, and prov
ing to the satisfaction of the Board, that
such persons are legally qualified voters.

The returns from the states which have
held their fall elections are very encourag-
ing Iowa has given an overwhelming ma
jority for the Union ticket Gov. Stone4s
reelected triumphantly, and Thomas Ii.
Benton, whom the Democrats tried to palm
of as the soldiers candidate, is left out in
the cold The old Key Stone State gives
10000 Republican majority The Buck
Eyes give over 1000 majority for the I'm
ion ticket With these glorious examples
before US we need have no fear for Wiscon-
sin, she viii undoubtedly acquit herself
gloriously. The copperheads have in those
states, done precisely as they have done
here Aflominated Generals and Colonies,
who have seen service and dEere popular,
for the express purpose of stealing the sol
diels' votes but it is clear from the results
in the states which have already voted that
a great majority Of the soldiers vote the
Republican ticket The soldiers and the
people have declared emphatically that
they will stand by the party that has stood
by the government IN the war to put down
the rebellion. We have no fear for Wis
consin, nor even for Iowa County, for we
don't anticipate that the soldiers are going
to abandon Us, after we have stood by them
and advocated their interests while they
were fghting for us at the South.
