The Oshkosh & Miss. z. R.

The Roscobel appeal ridicules the
action of the directors Of the Oshkosh
y Mississippi Railroad. This was un-
necessary and unchivalrouf, being
the kicking at q weak concern just
born and gasping tor the breath OF
life, as all concerns of the kind have
had to do at first. The appeal can
afford to wait til the child becomes
. man, when it vii be orderly to
ssrike With any epeh manly tqQls as
may be lawfully used for assault and
defense. Whether the new bantling
survives the bornin aud grows to
manhood or not, Boscobel is in no
danger-at least it is a true policy for
the Appeal to sound no alarm. We
have no great confidence in the Osh.
kosh & Mississippi enterprise, but
there are men Q long way better posts
ed than We are who manifestly have
the highest faith in it. The article
Of Mr.. Field in the HERALD this
week shows O. fair beginning.

WONDERFUL STRAWBERRY !.

"
Were it not for the respectable
names signed to circular relating to
the merits of new South American
Straw berry, very lately introduced,
we should assuredly set the new fruit
down as one Of the latter,day hum
bugs.
But there is Rev. I. P. Sloan, the
Congregational minister at McGreg-
or, Iowa, Charles Mcdowell, Fores
man of the Neaos Office, the Metho-
dist minister at McGregor, the Post
Master, Capt. w. A. Benton, Lawyer
Noble, old Mr.. Case, and many others
whom we have long known as the
best men in the place, all join in pa
per certifying as follows;
Last year we purchased of Mr.. r.
Tompkins some plants called the Al
pine Chiiaa Perpetual Bearers. and
have found them to be just what he
represents. The plants set last MAY
have fourished finely, having increas-
ed from ten to thirty fold, the origi>
nal plants and new runners bearing
plentitully for three months; the
fruit of good size and superior flavor.
They ere native of the CHILEAN
mountains in South America where
they bear from May to November
under glass all the winter The Io-
wa Register says they stand the win
ter unframed on our highest bluffs or
bleakest prairies. They increase in
a summer from 20 to so fold. Plants
set in July also give fruit in August,
September and October
Mr.. r. Tompkins, NJ sGregor, los
wa, whom we know to be a respon>
sible and reliable man, will supply
the spring market with these plants
through his agents. Mr.. III. w. Tell,
Lancaster, is his agent for Grant
county, to whom ord ers may be sent
by mail.

ASYLUM FOR CHILDREN.-State Asy-
ldm for the orphan children of de-
ceased soldiers, is now supporting
near 300 such orphans, aged from
two to fourteen years old. The re-
port of Committee for examination,
of which Maj. Rountree is the chair
man, shows that it costs the State
about S1O4 for supporting EACH ehild.
The management of the institution
appears toIerably good, Perhaps
tse worst feature is in the provision
s6ppsy purchasing. In fact all other
departments seem we'll managed.
There are hut s children there from
Grant county, whilst from Dane
county there are AZ, from Crawford

Washington, March 20.
General Butler brought to light in
the debate this afternoon the facts on
which Governor Boutwell's resolu>
ton, relative to the pardon of deser
ters, was founded. He said that
while doing his duty as Chairman OF
the Board Of Managers of the Nation
al Asylum for Disabled Soldiers, he
discovered thai about s75, 900 of the
money which should have been SUBJ
ject to his order had, by direction OF
the President, been transferred to
another fund. This led him to make
thorough investigation, VIXEN he
found that some time last fall the
Democratic Congressional nominee
in the Second District of West Vir>
glnia made out, or had made out, O
list of 1913 deserters from the Union
army, and sent it to the President,
with 9 letter saying that if they were
pardoned end restored to pay and
allowances, they you'd all vote the
Johnson ticket. This list and letter

Colonel Thomas Florence, of this
city, and every one of the deserters
was thereupon pardoned without
other proof or question, and pay and
allowances to the amount of about
seventy thousand dollars were made
over to them. The pardols, ororders
for the same, were delivered to Col
onel FLORENCE, who received one
thousand dollars for his services in
the case from the Claim Agent who
bad it in charge. 1t came out in the
debate following this statement, by
General Butler, that the whole mat
ter had been laid before the impeach-
ment Committee, and the Democrat
ic members thereof denounced Butler
in strong terms for speaking Of the
subject in the open House One of
them attempted to convey the idea
that there is anotLerside to the story,
but Butler said his statement had
been sworn to by Brigadier Gener
al OF the army, and parties outside of
Congress, who are conversant with
the matter, say the facts can be subs
stantiated beyond doubt before any

EIGHT Hour LAws.-The legisla~
tors everywhere are generally the
sickliest of trucking demagogqas.---
They know that all legal enactments
reducing a days work from ten to
eight hours is the lowest humbuggery,
yet they somehow fear it will be I'M
popular to oppose such reduction.
In such states as have adopted the
eight hour rule, the employers have
taken to hiring men by the hour, the
men working from eight to twelve
hours each day. The Legislators will
next be called upon to reduce the
number of minutes in a working
hour, and there are legislators just
internal fools enough to go for that
also.

FAIRPLAY MINING COMPANY
This organization is to be legally

holders to be held at Fairplay, on
Saturday, the 18th April, as will be
seen by advertised notice in the HER.
AID. The organization is to be made
pursuant to special charter granted
by the Legislature.
The design of the Company is to
run one or more levels below aver
age water mark in and through some
of the old lodes long since abandoned
on account of the water.
There are many such abandoned
lodcs, in that part of the country
many once drained by means OF

these lodes, it is well known, after
yielding large fortunes had to be Civ.

mence so low in some ofthe ravines
as to drain ten, twenty or thirty feet
below the bottom of these old miners

amounts Of capital and the best min
ing skill will be required.

Presentation to General Amasa Cobb,

From the Washington Chronicle we
have the following account of pres
entation to our Representative in
Congress, Gen. Amasa Cobb, by q
number of his friends from Visions
| sin:
Last evening General Cobb, Rep
resentative in Congress from the Sd
district of Wisconsin, was presented
with a beautiful gold headed cane by
his friends from that State now resi-
ding in Washington. The company,
Including Senator Howe, Represen~
tatives Paine, Sawyer and Hopkins.
and several other distinguished citi-
zens from the Badger State, assem-
bled at the Generals rooms on
Four a-half street. At eight
O'Clock, Major Enoch Totten, forms
erly of the 9Th Wisconsin, aud now a
rising young lawyer Of this city,
made the presentation in neat and
appropriate speech, in which he res
counted the prominent points in the
Generals military services, and sta>
ted that the cane had been purchased
| by his admirers to be offered IS o.
testimonial of their regard for him
not only as soldier, but as an hon,
est and faithful representative, ever
watchful of the interests of his con.
stituents and always true to the
principles of the Union party. Re-
ferring particularly to his military
career, he also stated that the Gen.
erai, having entered the service early
in the war as colonel of the Fifth
regiment, was called from the field
to the Council Chamber, being cleo
ted as a member of the Thirty eighth
Congress, but as the war continued
be again resumed the honored blue,
and raising the 42d regiment, took
the field to participate in the closing
scenes of the rebellion. As an hons
or well deserved for meritorious ser.
vice, he was promoted to Brigadier
General, and his constituents subse-
quently confirmed the confidence res
posed in him by the War Department
in electing him to the Thirty ninth
and again to the Fortieth Congress.
General Cobb responded in feeling
manner, modestly asserting that his
reputation as a military man had
been won, not SO much by his own
merit as through the bravery of the
gallant men under bis command. To
the same cause he ascribed his sue.
cess in political life, and concluded
his remarks amid raptupous applause.

THE New DISEASE AMONG SHeEP.--
Mr.. Yielding, the Fennimore farmer
whose sheep have been dying of
worms in their lungs, as neted in the
HERALD, has since called and left
with us for exhibition, a vial contain
ing some OF the worms in alcohol,
taken from the lungs of sheep which
died the other day. Among the
worms are also lot of grubs taken
from the same lungs, five or six small
ones the size of a grain of wheat, and
large onea half an inch long and
formed like any other common grub
singular and almost incredible,
with eyes. These grubs and the
worms, the latter from an inch to
four inches in length, resembling a
white thread, are evidently Of the
same family, the worms coming from
the eggs ofa chry sails or grubs. But of
what use are eyes to such living mon
sters dwelling in cells incased within
living animal? 1t must be that
these worms belong in the light, but
have taken osuch unnatural quarters.
But why is it they do not enter. the
lungs Of cattle, horses, even persons ?
These things may be seen at the
HERALD office. We hear that other
men are losing sheep from the same
cause. Mr.. Y. has learned nothing
satisfactory as TO how these pests may
be dislodged. We await information
upon the subject.
