LA CRossE.-We like La Crosse. 1t is a
good town--a good place to be in. We So
journed there briefly not long since.and found
coed company. We do not think there is
town i'm the West of its size, with more live
men in it. There is Mons Anderson, Lloyd
d Supple, John B. Jungen, Rumsey, stan-
ley, of Gift Enterprise notoriety, and hosts Of
others, all chiefly business men. DR.. Cam
eron, dear to drafted men and those who
sought exemptions, royal old Milton Barlow.
TX. Usher, known to fame, vigorous aud iras-
chile Seymour, genial and plucky Joe FL
well, the versatile "Dr. B." or L. L., cast iron
George Leech, and sedate Judge Burton and
gallant Gen. Kellogg, and Mayor Levy, and
grimly democratic Rodolph, are all there
Michels Brewery is there, and it is fortunate
that La Crosse is situated so near that Brew
cry, as it supplies great natural want of
the citizens. Washburne, Stoddard, Flint
and Benton have given La Crosse an honor
able fame.
DIR. Cameron drove us over the city, (his
mare would have been a delight to Hiram
Woodruff,) and we noticed abundant proofs
OF thrift and prosperity. La Crosse has pass
ed the perilous transition period ofyouth, and
is entering upon a vigorous manhood. Its
future is assured, if its citizens continue to
exhibit the slme enterprise which has al
ready placed it in the front rank of Wiscon-
sin towns.
For the first time in its history, La Crosse
has now, large, first class hotel. Msssrs.
Robbins d Son have leased the " Internation-

Rhode Island and South Carolina
have repealed all laws regulating rates of
interest. In spiritual things, we are told
that babes and Stockings often instruct
the wise and great, aud so these two, the
one the meanest and the other the least
of the States, have set an example which
the others may we'll copy. In these
states, full grswn men are considered
competent to make their own bargains
without having the legislature act as
their guardian.
MOOey is commodity, like any other
article in constant use, and its value is
determined by the same law of supply
and demand. Usury laws. intended to
benefit the poor, generally work to their
detriment,. and we hope to see them
abolished In this State.

Homes In the West.

c Theodore Tilton. the editor of the In
dependent, in writing letter to his Jour
lie nal from our western prairies, uses the
n following language in regard to young
men of the East seeking homes and for
81 tunes in the West:
Q If brave and brawny young man
who cannot get along at the east because
= ! he can find no open door will go to the
', west, put bis nand to the pillow, and not
look back, he will find himself at the end
CT of ten years a man of property,s chief
e citizen OF bis neighborhood, an esteemed
: member Of society, and the architect of
d. a successful career. | know that many
Z other writers have said all this over and
N over again; butt believe the testimony
needs constant repetition, in the hope
Q that they may lead the feet of many
y disappointed throngers of city streets to
make pilgrimage to green fields. This
O is the path to fortune.
: There just truth enough in that to
fool good many people.
:, The West, to many, is sort of en-.
il chauted land, and they come here ex-
pecting by some means, not fully known,
2 to accumulate wealth. Such persons will
n almost always fail to realize their hopes.
Again, young men who have been EN-
q ployed in stores, offices or shops at the
East, come West and enter into the
j same business. They perhaps receive
1 larger salary, but their expenses ara also
greater, and at the close Ct the year
a they have no more money than if they
sshad remained East. They must iRvest
ursOme money, must buy something in or
der to have their property accumulate.
The advantage of the West is its Wig
orous growth, and to be benefited by this
growth, person must ouOa something.
A young man at the East has, say
$500, or works two years AMI saves what
he can. He can do nothing with this
sum there. Land is high and business
is in the hands of men of large capital
and experience with whom he cannot
compete. He comes West and buys land
and goes to work on it, or engages in
business, and everything around him
grows, and he grows also. lie has
more even start in the race of life than
he could possibly have at the East.
1t cannot be too well understood that
the secret of success at the West. is the
trifing cost of land, the general growth
and the consequent steady appreciation
of values. To share this, ole, of course,
must OlOn something.

THE GROVER d BAKER ELASTIC
STITCH SEWING MACHINES

Are superior to all others for the following
reasons
/. They sew direct from the spools, and
require no re-winding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood and
used, and less liable to arrangement than 9TH
er machines.
}. They are capable Of executing perfect
", without change of adjustment, a much
greater variety of work than other machines.
A. The stitch made by these machines is
much more firm. elastic. and durable. espe-
cially upon articles which require to be wash
ed and irOned. tkan any other stitch
;. This stitch, owing to the manner in
which the outer thread is InwFOught. is much
the most plump and beautiful In use, and re-
tains this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed and ir0ned until
they are worn out
6. The structure of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals Of on
" a few stitches, it will neither open, run, nor
rayel, but remains firm and d.rable.
Z. Unlike other machines. these fasten
both ends of the seam by their own opera
ton.
8. With these machines, while silk is used
upon the right or face side of the seam, cot
ton may be used upon the other side without
lesseniEg the strength or durability of the
seam. This can be done on no other ma
chine, and is great saving upon all articles
stitched or made up with silk.
9. These machines, in addition TO their
superior merits as instruments for sewing, by
a change of adjustment, easily learned and
practised, execute the most beautiful and per-
manent embroidery and ornamental work.
