The great struggle in the last legs
islature was over "Bill No q. 81
This was a bill tc facilitate the
building Of the railroad from Monroe
70 Dubuque and sother purposes. -
The bill passed both houses and be-
came law. The opposition imme~
diatelv applied to the courts to en-
join action under it, claiming it un~
constitutional. 1t has Just been ar
gued in Milwaukee before the Il. S.
Court, on a motion to enioin the ex.
ecution and issue Of the bonds con-
templated In Section of the bill,
amounting to over six million dolls
lars, to exchange for the present
preferred stock Of the road and to
complete the road from Monroe to
the Mississippi. The court sustained
the motion for an Injunction rs far
as the issue of bonds for the purpose
es OF exchange for the present stock
was concerned. put decided the BILL
as far as the issue of stock for the
eXistance Of the road went was legal
This decision prevents the console
dation scheme Of the bill, and pre-
vents the purchase Of the railroad il
Minnesota. Whether the corpora
ton will go on now in the issue Of
b nds TO complete the road is very
questionable, as some of the princi !
pal objects Of the legislature have
been defeated. We were in hopes
to see this communication between
he East aud West soon completed,
but it now looks as though we were
to have another legislative struggle
uext winter, and in the meantime
nothing done. We hope this will
not be so, but fear it.-Lqfayette

Fruit Stealing.

Mr.. CovEB:-In the Herdld of April
i 30 | find an article written By MIR.
I ooley in relation to fruit stealing.
in which he says that the evil of pill
i lering fruit is practiced to an alarm.
ing extent in bis vicinity, and wishes
to know how ii can BE remedied.-
Now as am an old orchadst | will
just tell how I think it may be pre-
vented aud if you think proper you
may print this in the next Heraid.
La the first place | will state that l
have never had any fruit stolen. The
way to prevent it is to first show
youi ncighbors that you are not stin-
gy. When it IS ipe call them in and
show them that you take pleasure in
presenting them some Of the fruits Of
your labor, that you wish them to
share with what you have planted.
In nine eases out Of ten this will have
the desired effect, but in case some
should persist in pilfering from yonr
orchard Notwithstanding your liber-
atty | would recommsnd you to pro
cure some tartar emetic and make an
incision in some the largest ofyour
apples in the form. Of c. Raise the
skin on one side, then Ike out a por-
ton Of the apple and fill up with the
tartar emetic and press the skin back
as it was before; fit does not adhere,
use a little paste, or white Of an EGG
will answer. Then you may expect
to hear that the cholera has broken
out; that the doctor has been sent for
and that something dreadful has hap
pcnod. A person who has eaten
pretty freely ct your apples Will not
be likely to want any ore of them.
lfyour orchard is still visited by any
Of the "long fingered . persuasion, |
would then get some spike nails and
grind them as sharp as the teeth Of a
hatchel These are to be driven
through pine boards halfof an inch
thick; lay the boards on the ground
about the most tempting Of the trees
in the orchard; bore a hole in each of
the boards and drive peg through
into the ground to hold the boards 10
their places, leaving the points OF the
sharpened nails upwards; then sprin.
kle some fine dirt over the boards to
hide them. You viii soon learn that
some one in your orchard has a very
sore foot on hand If this should not
have the desired effect, then | would
recommend YOU to dig some holes in
your orchard where the thieves viii
be most likely go: make them large
at the bottom aud small at The top,
and so deep That no one can get out
Of them; spread the dirt around and
cover up the hole with sticks or thin
boards and you will be very apt to
catch some thievipg rascal. But
should all these remedies fail, you
must procure some steel traps and
first show them to your neighbors,
then set them in your orchard, and
see if YOU cannot succeed in catching
some of the troublesome varmints III
this way. II all these should fail,
your case must be truly awful

oLDTIMEs.

Here Is an exquisite little poem, which appeared /
the Chicago Joaaal aud is probably from the pen Of
r Taylor. IL is a perfect gem;
There's beautiful song on the slumbrous air
that drifts through the valley Of dreams;
II COMES from cline where the roses were,
And a tunefu heart and bright brown hair
That waved IN the morning beams.
Self eyes Of azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow-white ioreheats were there;
A giimmeTing cross and glittermg crown
\ thorny bed aud couch of down
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
breath Of spriny in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the qUiYeiing zines
Blue violet eyes beneath green ho9is;
bubble Of br0okets, scent Of buds
Bird MARBLES and clambering WINS.
A rosy wreath and dimpled hand,
ring and pghted vow
Three golden links Of broken bani,
A tiny track on the snow-whte sand,
tear and sinless brow.
There's tincture Of grief in the beautiful song
That sobs the slumbrous air.
And lonliness, felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down in the soul ms it rtmlles along
From cline where the roses we're.
We haRred it first at the dawn Of day,
Aud it mingled with matin chimes,
But years have dstanc4d the beautiful lay,
And its melody foweth from far away,
And we cali ii now Oh Times.

Details of the Abolition Of Slavery in
the Brazilian Empire.

The Emperor Don Pedro the Sec
ond, Of Brazil, with the advice of bis
Ministers, signed to-day an imperial
decree by virtue OF which slavery is
abolished throughout the Brazilian
empire.
This most important executive
order is to take effect in a period Of
twenty years, so that no violence viii
be done to what is termed ''the right
OF property" in the slaves.
Children Of every class born with
in the limits Of the empire after this
day, the 9Th Of April, are declared
absolutely free by birth, so thai it
may be truely said we now inhabit o
land of freedom in which industry
and labor will soon find fair reward
The Government Of Brazil has for
many years past ~sympathized with
the action taken by the United States
Government in conjunction with
some Of the great Powers of Europe
for the suppression Of the slave trade
on the coast of Africa, and few
years only have elapsed since the
Emperor signed decree prohibiting
The importation Of slaves into his do
minions.
The issue of the present decree
completes the work Of emancipation
in Brazil.

The Powers OF CONVERSATIONS
The powers Of conversation consist
in the habit OF not thinking Of what
is in your mind, Of not cropping and
iretting about in The dull, dark vacui
ties Of your own soul for any no.
lions which may chance to be stray
ing there. He alone can converse
with any effect who cares only TO
see that which hovers before the
mental eye Of his opponent. Conyer
sation is Incompatible with vanity.
For the only way to get rid Of self
love. is noy to think OF ones self. En-
ter into the minds OF others, and you
Will gradually get out yourself. The
secret Of light conversation is to
speak of that only in which your
partners Interested to twist about
the thought in his mind To say
that which is already known is rude.
Sach conduct would be resented
You would be branded rs dull and
insipid. It is not rude on the other
hand, to remain silent. ParadoXes

look, without a word, is sufficient
to show that you have entered into
their meaning. Bat fyoa say what
does not require to be said, it proves
that YOU have not been following
him. In short, the whole art OF con
versation consists in not trave.ing
out Of your partners thought, but in
receiving and applying it and he
alone naturally converses well who
has got rid OF vanity and self>love.
