For the Paris HYnnsitinn.

For the Paris Exposition.
The New York Times says collection of
the sanitary inventions and improvements
made and used during the rebellion left New
York few days aGO for the Paris Exposition.
Among the lot is D hospital car, the interior
arrangements of which are as follows; "At one
end is an apparatus for heating tea, coffee and
water, and in the same end is an ice-water
tank: opposite is Il lounge, which can be con-
yerted into a dissecting table by removing the
tOp-gn apothccary's shop completes the fur
niture. At the other end are a wash room,
water closet and stove. Thirty stretchers,
swung on india rubber loops fill the remainder
OF the car, leaving passage way through the
centre. A patent stove with hot air pipes, con-
meets underneath the car with six registers,
which can be opened and shut at will. A
Christian Commission wagon, in use in the
field at the time of Lees surrender, will prob
ably attract some attention. One of the most
interesting articles in the collection is SAM
tary Commission tent, furnished with samples
of everything that the Commission dispensed
during the various campaigns. Desiccated
and preserved food Of all kinds, clothing and
cooking apparatus, are among the articles TO
be found in the tent. The whole cost of the
collection will probably exceed $25 900.
In connection with the above, we will state
that we had short call last week from DR..
HoyT, the active, efficient and enterprising
who has been appointed to take charge of the
Wisconsin Contributions to the Paris EXPOSE
ton or Worlds Fair He has been visiting va
rious parts of the State, stirring up the people
to a sense of their duty in regard to sending
samples of the products of the State, that Wis
consin may not be left out in the cold, in this
grand gathering ofthe industries of the world.
The Doctor informs us that in many portions
OF the State the people are fully awake to the
Importance OF this matter.
Kenosha County must not be behind hand
in the good cause. The skill, industry and
genius Of orr enterprising citizens should be
fairly represented, as well as the natural prod
ucts Of her soil.
The DR.. suggests the following as a few Of
the articles that would best represent Kenosha
County.
Fteeees Of Wool of the different breeds of
Sheep.
There are but two counties in the State, the
large counties of Walworth and Waukesha,
whose wool clip exceeded that of Kencsha in
1865, so that we may safely put down wool
growing a one of our specialties.
Samples Of AgYjcultatraI Products.
We do not claim any special precedence in
the production ofgrain, though we raise as
good of all kinds as any other county in the
State. We could send good samples of Wheat,
Rye Barley, Oats, Corn, Flax Seed, and To-
bacco.
Cheese. Cheese Is a speciality in Kenosha
County. There is no other County in the State
that produces but fraction of the amount
that we do; and what is more Kenosha Coun-
ty Cheese takes precedence in all the mar
kets. Several of our large Cheese Manufactu-
rers should see that samples are sent at once
Ehu6arb Vine was originated in Kenosha,
and some fine aged samples could be furnished
Let us show the Frenchmen that they have
not the exclusive knack of wine-making.
ThjDa6le SkejnS. had their origin in Kenosha
but few years ago, and their manufacture has
already become an important branch of the
iron trade, and it is peculiarly appropriate that
samples of these skens should be among the
Representatives of Kenosha industry.
Peat exists in large quantities in Kenosha
County, and its preparation, as an article of
fuel for domestic and mechanical purposes,
will ere long be an important branch of
our industry. Samples of Peat, both in the
natural and prepared state, should by all
means be in the Kenosha Collection.
4 Sample Wagon, as the representative of
one Of our most important branches of manu-
facture ought to grace the collection.
Samples Of Leather, also would be appropri-
ate.
We hope our friends who are more exclu-
sively interested in each of the above items
will see that the articles are sent in due sea-
SON DR.. Hoyt will leave for Europe about
the last otFebuary previous to which time, all
articles intended for the Great Exhibition
should be prepared and dispatched All alti-
Giles should be sent to Milwaukee at the earli-
est day practicable
All the necessary information canbe obtain
ed of Hon. c.. G. Sholes, of this city.

4" A young lady named Ellen Alcom was
killed in Brooklyn yesterday, by kerosen
oil explosion. She was pouring oil from a
can on the fire to kindle it.-Ielegrapb dis
patch.
We see such items as the above in the tel
egraph dispatches every single day. from
which we conclude the fools are not all dead
yet, but are being fast pot out of the way
Any person-young lady or otherwise
who with all the experience of the past few
years, gets blowed up or burnt up by such
a crimmally carelss use of kerosene, ought
TO have coroner's verdict of " served her
right" every time.
