Wisconsin men are reaping noticeable
rewards in the reconstructed States. They
have become Governors, Senators, and
members of the House Of Representatives
A Wisconsin editor, Harrison Reed, is
Governor of Florida; one of its Senators,
Osborne, is also from this State. Rice,
Senator elect from Arkansas, halls from
Wisconsin; and finally we have a Wiscon-
sin man Just elected for the short term
Senator from Louisiana, in the person OF
John S. Harris.
Mr.. Harris resided in Milwaukee many
years, and was well known here as bank
er and a merchant Before the war he
spent few years in Colorado mining and
prospecting. After his return to this city,
and during the war, after the capture OF
Vicksburg he concluded to go South, and
try his venture as cotton planter. He is
said to have been very successful in prov
ing that the freedmen would work, and
faithfully, too, if their wages were prompt
ly paid, and they were kindly cared for.
This is understood to be the basis of his
popularity among the cOlored population
OF Louisiana. Mr.. Harris is personally a
gentleman CT popular and affable manners,
industrious and faithful in the execution OF
his duties, and thoroughly temperate in his
habits. He will make neither great nor
brilliant, nor distinguished Senator, but
will certainly be vigilant and faithful
representative of the working people Of

ACCIDENT TO A GYMNAsT.-During re-
cent three days gala in York, England,
one feature of the amusements was the
appearance Of Ethardo, the spiral aseen-
sionist." His trick is to walk on the top
of globe, which, with his feet, he takes
along with him upon spiral and ascending
platform until he attains dizzy height.
In the accomplishment Of this EthardO has
never vet had an accident, but on Saturday
morning his life was endangered in rather
singular manner. He and his colored
servant, named Jacob Simmons, were en-
gagged in taking down the structure upon
which the feat had been performed, the
mainstay of which was long pele RAINING
M the centre. All had been removed ex
cent the pole, which is in two parts, the
bottom Of the upper half being let into a
socket in the top of the lower. To get
down the upper half another long pole had
been fastened TO the lower, and upon this
Simmons was engaged at an elevation Of
about thirty feet, and Ethardo little be-
low him, when one Of the stays gave way,
and the poles and those upon them came
down to the ground with sudden crash.
EthArdo, by his agility, succeeded in saving
himself from harm with the exception Of a
shaking, but Simmons was for a long time
insensible, and had to have surgical at
tendance.

TEE BREAST AS A PNcrsHIoN.-M. Ric-
ord, during a recent discussion on the pen
etration of foreign bodies, related the fol-
lowing anecdote: Madeline Brohan, the
celebrated actress, suffered from tumor in
her breasts, which puzzled her. various
doctors as to its nature. The diagnosis
wavered between an adenoid tumor and
one Of scr'r nous nature; but beforeE coz.
senting to an operation she consulted Rie-
ord. He examined the breast with the
most scrupulous care, and presently felt
certain that needle, lodged in the sub
stance Of the organ, was the source of the
mischief; for, during the examination he
felt the end Of his finger pricked by the
foreign body. To force the needle to pro-
jeet ontwardly, and then to extract it was
the work of an instant. Great was the
auazement of the patient, who had no idea
how the accident had happened, and the
clever operator, on leaving, cautioned her
not to place her needles on such pin
cushion. The tumor rapidly disappeared.
