DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF
WIS., tFRIDAY Y n
Rail Road.

If matters are rightly managed we see
no reason why we should not have rail
road to this place within a year. The
owners of the Mineral Point railroad have
decided to extend that road. If proper in
ducements are, held out, they will extend
it through Dodgeville; if not, they will
probably run it west of us, somewhere
near the line of Grant county. Our peo-
pie are very anxious to get a road. They
appear to be thoroughly walked up to the
Importance Of the matter. In fact, we
have heard wealthy business men say that
they would rather give the half of their
entire property to the enterprise than be
permanently deprived of a road. Now,th
only question is, what is the rightway to
60 about the accomplishment of the desired
object. We would suggest the calling of
meeting, not with the intention of doing
great amoant of business, but for the
purpose of consultation, in order that the
various kinds of thinkers may express
their thoughts and hear the thoughts of
others. All concerned, the railroad men,
the farmers, the business men, the nechan-
les, are anxious to get railroad through
this county. Now, what we want, is, to
get these different elements together in
consultation. If this can be done, we
don't think it will be very difficult to hit
upon some plan which would accomplish
the object. Let those interested take the
matter up, and see what can be done.

The Spfder's Web.

How wonderful is the tenuity Of the fairy
like lines, yet strong enough TO enable the
ariel voyager to run through the air, and
catch his prey which ventures within his
domain. 1t is SO fine that, in the web Of
the gossamer spider, the smallest Of the
tribe, are twenty tubes, through which is
drawn the viscid globules, the gummy
matter it employs in spinning, each Of the
thickness of about one-tenth Of an inch.
It takes lao Of these globules to form q
single spiral line; it has twenty-four cir
cumlocutions to 60 through, which gives
the number Of $3.50. We have thus got
the average total number Of lines between
two ridii Of the circle; multiplying that
number by 26, the number Of radii which
tho untiring insect spins, gives the total
amount Of 81, 800 viscid glsbules before the
net is complete.
The dimensions Of the net, Of course,
varies with the species. Some will be
composed Of as many as 5000 lines; yet
even to form this net the spider will only
take five minutesl Wonderful, indeed, is
the process by which the spider draws the
thread from its body-more wonderful
than any rope or silk spinning. Each o.
these spinnerets is covered with rows o.
bristle-like points. 80 very fine that a sracs
about the size Of pins head will covel
o thousand Of them. From each oI
these points or tubes issues o small but
slender thread which unites with the other
threads, so that from each spinneret pro.
ceeds series Of threads forming one com.
pound whole; these are situated about one
third Of an inch from the apex Of the spin.
nerets; they also unite and form one thread,
six hundred and twenty-four Of which arc
used by the spider in forming his net.
With the instrument which nature has
given him, tho claws Of his feet, the spider
guides and arranges the glutinous thread
as this seemingly inexhaustible fibre Il
drawn from his body, and interweavei
them with each other until the web is com
plete. In this way spiders are weaver
Of supple line, whose touch, for quick
ness and ineness, surpasses that OF any
spinningjenny.-CasselFs Family Paper

JOINT RESOLUTION ofrespect to the memory
Of William A. Bradley, deceased.
WHEREAS, the Board Of Alderman and
Board Of Common Council Of the city OF
Washington have heard with profound sor.
row of the death Of our highly esteemed
fellow citizen. William A. Bradley;
And whereas his enterprise, energy, in
teerity. and heartfelt devotion to the best
interests of the city for the last sixty years
have endeared him to the citizens Of Wash
ington, and made his name as familiar as
household words;
And whereas Il Is eminently right and
proper that the representatives Of the peo-
plo IN Council assembled should express
their sense Of the irreparable loss they
have sustained in bis death. Therefore
Be ii resolved by the Board of Alder
men and Board of Common Council
of the City of Washington, That in the
death Of William A. Bradley the city has
lost true and tried friend, the poor o sin
cere benefactor, and the country an up
right and useful man.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize
with the family Of the deceased in their
hour Of affection; but while sympathizing,
1t is comforting TO know and feel that in
the walks Of life the distinguished deceased
discharged his duty. and died in the hope
Of blissful immortality.
Resolved, That we will attend his fune.
raj in body, and that o committee Of two
members Of the Board Of Aldermen and
three members OF the Board Of Common
Council be appointed to act, in conjunction
with the Mayor, to make the necessary or.
rangements.
Resolved, That the Mayor be requested
to transmit a copy Of these resolutions to
the family Of the deceased.
RESOLVED, That as further mark Of our
respect, all business in the Offices of the
City Hall be suspended during the re-
mander Of the day.

Tax on whisky.

Among the many odd freaks Of legisla-
ton which the last session OF Congress
placed upon the federal statute-book are
the following sections in respect to dis
titled spirits:
SEC. 2l. Be ii further enacted, That
whenever any distilled spirits, SO found
elsewhere than in o bonded warehouse,
shall be sold, or offered for sale, at less
price than the tax imposed by law thereon,
such selling or offering for sale as afore.
said shall be taken and deemed as primd
fdcie evidence that said spirits have not
been removed from bonded warehouse
according to law, and that the tax imposed
by law on the same has not been paid,
and the same shall, without further evi-
dence, be liable to seizure and forfeiture.
SEC. 27. And be ii further enacted, That
no distilled spirits which have been forfeit
ed to the government in accordance with
law, shall be sold for price less than the
amount of the tax required thereon by
law at the time Of such sale. And if the
officer having such spirit in charge shall
have been unable, for period Of ninety
days, to sell the same for price equal to
the tax, such spirits shall be destroyed,
under such rules and regulations as the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue may
prescribe.
These sections have had the force Of law
mandatory upon oil internal revenue Off
GERS, for more than five months. 1t is
within easy ascertainment what portion Of
that time, and in what market, whisky has
sold "at a less price than the tax imposed
by law thereon" 1t is not easy to ascer
tain when and where whisky, for many
months subsequent to last March, sold fol
more than two dollars per gallon. And
yet how much has been seized and for
feited under the provisions Of the twenty
first sectionH
Again, we have read from time to time
in the court reports, Of confscations o
whisky and orders Of sale issued to tn,
marshal Has it been sold according t
decree OF court, and at the price fixed a
o minimum by the twenty-seyenth sectio
of the act Of March lastH II not, has
been destroyed 2" The public are cur
GUS TO know what has been the regulatio
and mode Of proceeding under which II
spirits have been made to disappear.
