Mr., Villas.

An adjourned meeting of the Seymour
snd Blair Campaign Club was held on SAT-
urday evening last, and the commodious
dining room of the Williams House was
filed as it was never filled before. The
number present during the meeting was
limited only by the capacity of the hall,
and many who came little late were una
bic to obtain admittance.
After the meeting was called to order,
GEO. s. GLOVER, Esq, presented the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted
without dissenting vote:

recently held in Oshkosh deemed it wise

lie proceeded to review the political situa>
tion, stating the questions to be decided in
November in clear and forcble language,
and concluded by exhorting the Democrats
OF Manitowoc county to discharge their
whole duty to their party and their country
ut the coming election. We cannot give
an extended synopsis of his remarks from
memory without doing Mr.. Villas in
justice, but all who were present will agree
with us that his address was able, eloquent
and to the point throughout. He was fc
que atly interrupted by applause, and took
his seat amid tremendous cheering.
After Mr. Villas had concluded, Presi-
dent CROWLEY invited Vice President
WHITMAN to take the chair, and present
ed the following resolution, which .was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That our hearty thanks are
rendered to the people of Calumet county
for their Kindness in escorting the members
OF our club to and from Oshkosh, and for
their good will in assisting US in the nomi-
nation of Mr. Villas.
Mr.. WITTMANN, being called upon, re-
spondcd in stirring speech in the German
language, which was received with frequent
demonstrations of approval by his country
men, large number of whom were pres
cut.
The Club adjourned until such time as its
). Executive Committee shall see fit to call it
aogether again, due notice of which will be
given by the circulation of handbills.

A GENEROUS REMEMBRANcER.- Last
Friday morning a mysterious looking box
was brought to our sanctum. We opened
it curiously, and found it to contain dozen
bottles of fine Rhine wine-large, portly
bottles they were, and the wine of most de-
licious vintage, as we have since satisfied
ourself. 1t arrived by the morning boat,
We were told, but the point at which it be
gan its journey and the kind friend who
started it were equally beyond our power
to conjecture. We searched the box inside
and out. There was the simple legend,

LAUNCH OF THE JESSIE PHILLIPS. The
new schooner, built for Messrs. PACKARD
4 HOES. was launched from the yard near
Jones mill on Saturday aftersoon last, in
the presence Of large number of specta-
tors. Everything passed off smoothly, and
as the trim little craft touched the water
her bunting was shaken to the breeze, dis
playing the name Jessie Philips, which is
to be her designation henceforth. It may
be recollected that S. A. Brown, Esq, of
the firm of PHILLIPS & BROWN, heavy
lumber dealers and manufacturers of Mus
kegon and Chicago, was here short time
since with Captain Rowland, negotiating
for the purchase Of the vessel. The pro
posed transfer was not effected, however,
but Mr.. Brown obtained the privilege of
naming the vessel, and presented her with
beautiful set of colors. She is named
after Miss JESSIE PHILLIPS, of Chicago, a
daughter Of the senior member of the firm
above mentioned, who is now in Europe
with her father. The dimensions and ca
pacity of the vessel have been given in the
Plot heretofore. She will be ready to
leave port in about three weeks, and will
b, put in the Buffalo trade for the balance
of the season. Captain Thomas How.
LAND, late of the steamer Comet, and well
known here as a skillful mariner and
whole -souled gentleman, has purchased a
one fourth interest in the Phillips, and will
be her commander. May favoring gales

The Wonder.

"After reading Father Grants tio-
graphical sketches of his boy Ulysses
the wonder is that he escaped being a
circus rider. But for that old Democrat,
Tom Ilamer, who secured his appoint.
ment to West Point, Grant, instead Of
being at the head of the army Of the
United States, might now have been the
great bare back horse performer of John
Robi1son's circus. Does that prove
that We are all the creatures Of acci
dent?
Or does it prove that he is to be the
President Of the United States?
The following is little old, but it
comes in to fill space very handily. Hear
how he opened his mouth and spake to
Mr.. Head:
found Mr.. Grant in the patent Office
examining some patent segar holders.
Good morning, Mr.. Grant"
"Good morning, Mr.. Head"
''Be You in the war office now ?"
No; I'm ir the patent Office now ;
s,poke?'
Yes; please give US light; be you
going to run for the next Presidency,
Mr. Grant?"
II slew seventy thousand men in the
battle OF the Wilderness, Mr.. Head"
"Yes, which SIDE were the slowed
men tightin' on, Mr.. Grants'

Said again, Mr.. Grant, folks don't
know where YOU stand do y"u?"
= He bit of the end Of a $, gar, and re-
piled, -
What boss did you let on at the
race the other day?
Said l." lookin' at him, "not the
ho<s you're tryin' to ride, old fell" and
there by hangs tale!
, He lit another sheroot, and says,
- 't'Mr. Grant, we're sufferin' terribly
down South; couldn't you aud some
other woman send US down some
tracts - -:
II will lspeak to Mr., s:snton,and if he

Latest from the Moon.

But not from our sometime CORES
pondents among the stars, who have
ceased to illumine the columns of the
Herald, much to the regret of. its thou
sand several readers, who weekly won
der why the glimpses of men and things
fail to appear. 1t is now our happy
privilege to relieve their anxiety, but at
the same time to inform them with sor-
row that great collapse has occurred in
the moon, through which luminary our
dispatches were forwarded, and that
henceforth and for time, the stars will
be silent as to we'uns and you'uns.
It's very unfortunate and much to be de-
plored, but as there is no help in the
matter, it is earnestly hoped that they
will bear the loss with resignation. The
trouble in the moon is as follows:
A volcano has disappeared .there-an
immense concern, that had mouth
thlrty-Six thousand feet in diameter, and
base covering many square miles.
Astt onomers had been acquainted with
it ever since 1888, and were of course
very sorry to loose it. Mr.. Schmidt, d.
rector of the royal observatory in Athens,
who was the first TO report it as missing,
seems to have regretted its disappearance
as if it had been a personal friend. He
had watched it closely for years, and had
become quite attached to it. The theory
is, that the contents Of the crater ran
over at its hrim, the immense flood of
lava converting the precipitous sides of
the burning mountain into gentle de-
clivity-in other words, that the sur
rounding country was lcvcllcd up, not
the activity levelled down. This the
ory may be right or wrong, but there Is
no doubt that the enormous protuber'
ance has vanished On certain night,
in October last, Mr.. Schmidt went over
it-telescopically. On another certain
night, in October, he directed his lenses
to the spot where it ought to have been,
but it was not there, nor could he see a
fragment of it. He rubbed the crystal
ine lens of his eye, and the vitIious len
ses of his tube, and tried again. But
there was no salient point to he seen
the volcano had "vamoSed.' Other
astronomers followed suit, with the same
result; and there is now no manner OF
doubt that a lunar vol ano as big as
Etna, Vesuvius, and Stromboli put to-
gether, has either been engulfed, or ex-
ploded, or smothered. in its own lava.
Probably nobody is the worse for this
catastrophe, as it seems almost certain
that the moon is uninhahited.

Democracy Harmonious.

The Democratic Convention lately held
in Columbia, after two days session, and
Conference through Committee with
the Executive Committee appointed by
the April Convention, report basis OF
union, mutually satisfactory to both
branches The Democratic party Of the
State therefore it is gratifying to say are
united in purpose. The proceedings
which We publish in full on first page,
will be read with interest as :embodying
the whole of the work done. 1t will he
found too, that so clearly did the April
Convention see their way before them,
and so entirely did they cover the ground
necessary in this vitalmovement of. the
State, that the late Convention, with
spirit cotnmendable to that intelligent
body, found it unnecessary to intro
dpce any coaaictiRgs elements. The
people Of the State are as satisfied
now, that this second Convention
has bear: hc'd, as they would have
bcen had no other than that of April
been called. We rest in the hope that
there willnow be more work andaess talk.
Alrparties have been allowed the p'isi,
icge Of representation, and if. there be
any whohase not been, let them hold
their peace, and fall in with coats off,
and 50 to work, We want a, practical,
working Democratic party. ..%.>
