Two Balls meeting.

A young ex Confederate officer relates
the following incident which occurred dur
ing the siege of Nicksburg. 1t is the only
accident of the kind we have ever heard Of:
He says TIL at during the siege ofthe place
he was on the lines in front of the town.
The sharp-shooters on both sides were bus
lily engaged. Suddenly a quick "thud'
sound was heard above, and there fell al
most at his feet ball. A private in Wad
del's Alabama Battery secured it. An ex-
animation showed it was composed of two
balls-one from MIME musket, the other
from a Belgian rifle.
''The point of the former had penetrated
the side of the latter to the rim. Judging
from appearances, the MIME ball had come
the shortest distance. The Embedding was
strong, and impossible almost to be olsen
gagged. The man who picket it up refused
fifty dollars for it. He said he had no use
for money-he wanted the anomaly" to
carry home to his sweetheart" lie was
killed in one of the subsequent battles.
We have often wondered why the balls
that flew so thick should not meet in the
mid air but this is the first time we have
ever been told or read of such an occur
renee.

German Ladies,

| have noticed that in German families,
family government Is very strict compar-
ed with the theory and practice inAmer
lea on this subject, may say extremely
rigid. The rules and regulations are few,
but they are enforced on all occasions, and
under all circumstances. UnquestioniDg
submission to parental authority lies at the
foundation OF this government. Children
are taught to entertain the highest respect
tor superlOrs and tor age. 1t is beautiful
to see the respectful manner in which they
deport themselves In the presence OF their
superiors and older persons They are also
invariably polite to strangers.
A few weeks ago friend and myself
made an excursion on foot into the
country, and were surprised at the genuine
politeDes OF the poor peasants and their
children every peasant and child We met
saIuted us in the kInGest manner possible,
and readily and pleasantly answered all our
questions. Children are early taught to be
industrious and self-reliant. They are not
allowed to call servants to do tor them
things which they can easily do for them
selves. Every boy is trained fer some
business or profession, and the girls are
trained to make good hJusekeepers and
good wives. La the best families, servants
very seldom wait on the table-not even
when guests are invited.
took tea, not long since, at the house
OF Baroness, with large party, and not
servant was to be seen. The baroness
made tea, after We were seated at the table
with aconvenient and elegant apparatus pre-
pared tor the purpose and two beautiful
young ladies, niece Of the Baroness and
Il friend passed around the table and served
the guests.
On certain occasion, | called on a
wealthy family, and was received by the
lady OF the house, who told me that her
two daughters were in the kitchen cooking.
They were to be married soon, and pro-
tesslonal cook had been employed to come
three times week, to give them lessons In
the art OF cooking, and to initiate them
fully In all Its mysteries. In five minutes
one Of these young ladies came into the
parlor to see me, neatly dressed, and con-
versed with me In beautiful English.
thorough acquaintance with domestic
economy Is considered an indispensable
qualification IN young lady tor the mar
rled life. In addition to all this, mothers
teach their daughters that one of the chief
duties after marriage is to strive to keep
their husbands comfortable and happy :
w hen German husband comes to his
homes at the close of the day of toll or
anxiety, his wife receives him with a smile,
arranges his chair, brings him his study
gown and slippers, places before him re-
treshments, gives him cigar, and while
he eats and smokes cOnverseS with him in
the most entertalng manner abOuts the
events of the day. What will your lady
friend say about this picture of domestic
lite in Germany. Il. ". Saunders.

A Man Overpowered by Good News
Becomes Lunatic.

From the Chicago Tribune, Jan. %,
The name of John Kane is familiar to
MANY of our citizens He is al old resi-.
dent of this city, and for quite number OF
years had been the proprietor OF a snug
little business on South Clark street. Dur
ing these years he did not ACQUIRE any
great wealth, nor did he seem 10 desire It,
He was in the possession OF competency
and this condition was altogether satlsfac,
tory. But that tickle Judge Fortune VIII
allow few to live at beace. From the
wealthy she will take to make them mlser-
able; to the poor she will give sometimes
with the same object: Such at least Is the
experience of John Kane.
A few weeks since he received lnforma-
ton from the old country that handsome
fortune had been beQueathed to BIN, ana
that the legacy, all in bard cash, lay In
bank, to be disposed of according to his
directions To a hardworklng man IKE

almost set him wild with joy. He decided
to set out for the old country Immediately.

erybody who had any knowledge Of his
journey supposed that he was ere this al
most half way across the Atlantic, But it
appears that the good fortune that came
to John Kane was more than he could
bear.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Superinten-
dent Nelson, of this city, received a des-
, patch from the Chief of Police OF Jersey
City. giving the briet fact that John Kane,
of Chicago, evidently en- route tor Eu,,

Jersey City, and that, to judge from his is
actions, he was confirmed lunatlc; Still

and there is every reason 10 believe that the
unfortunate man has gone mad. He will
be returned to this city Immediately, and
nothing will be left undone, to amellor a:
his pitiful condition. Good care and kind
attention may possibly restore him to the
enjoyment of his reason and bis newly ac-
quired wealth some day.

In order that the Wisconsin may do as mulch
service as possible in the great political cam
paign of 1868, which is to elect Gen. u s.
Grant president of the United States, we have
reduced the club rates of our weekly and Semi
Weekly editions to pr,ce barely covering the
cost of the white paper And while we shall
be earnest in our support of the political prin-
cples which the Wisconsin has always main
tanned, we shall continue to devote large
share of our paper to the interests Of the family
and farm.
AN ORIGINAL ROMANCE.
With the first number of the Weekly Wiscon-
sin for 1868, we commence the publication of
an original story, entitled LAURA HOW.
ARDS ROMANCE" written expressly for
our columns by popular writer of the North
west. 1t is tale of life in the West, and will
be Of peculiar interest to the people of this
beautiful, if not classic. region. This story
will run through twelve or fifteen numbers of
the Weekly.
All new subscribers will receive back num-
bers, to include the commencement of this

The Presidency.

The two great states of Ohio and Indiana
have recently held their state conventions,
end both conventions have unanimously in
structed their delegates to vote tor the
nomination Of Hon GEORGE Ii. PENDLE-
ron az the Democratic candidate tor Presl-
dent, OF this nomination we need but
state that Mr. PESDLEToN, We believe, Is
the choice of the people of the northwest
for that grea, Office, and he is Il sound,
able, and straight forward Democrat, and
a man whom the people can trust, and
who is not afraid TO speak what he thinks,
and that is what We want. We do not
want man who is afraid to utter his hon
est sen. iments; and in Mr.. PENDLETON
Fe have the man whom we shall support
Tor the highet, Office in the gift Of the peo-
pie.
OF course Mr.. PENDLEToN does not sup
port the unconstitutional acts OF the rump
congress, aud what man does who has any
-egard Tor the constitution " hich our revo-
lu,ionary fathers established, and which
we lived go long and happily under.
This nomination by two Of the most In
suentlal states in the Union Is, OF course,
eniiae, to the ratification of the Great
National Democratic Convention but we
.hink that it will be ratified by that Con
veptiou, and if it is, We have no doubt but
What Nj. PENpLEToN will be elected by
IN overwhelming majority, for the people
are utterly disguised with the Radical plan
OF placing the negro in the supremacy over
the white race, aud which in the end will
result in q war of races. We believe in the
words of the immortal DOUGLAS when he
said that "this government was establish
ed for the benefit Of the white race, and
should be controlled by them solely.
II Mr.. PENDLEToN is nominated and
elected We shall have a Union restored
under the constitutions we shall have no
five military districts at the south, but the
same as free people should have, and will
have.
Lnd now we would say to the Democrats
cf Msnitowoc county, organize for the cam
uaisn OF 1868, for it is to decide whether
VIZ shall have military despotism, or u
free, united, and happy country under the
