come up for Judgement
l. Which oath was mistake the
oath of February q or the oath of
May?
H. When did the oaths change in the
minds OF Senators?
ILL., When was the certainty of that

President his information?
V. What REGULAR claim did Mr. John

they saw fit to intrust him with
confidence which was not shared
by any of their Republican collea-

cognizing the responsibility of their
oaths IA responsibility so vast, compre-
hensive and elastic that what Is black IN

WEIGHING ON THE FARM-A half

Bile by every farmer He does not sell
his potatoes or grain, guessing at the
contents of the Din or pile on the floor

ment at hand, he may know Just how
much corn Is fed to the hog and poultry;
how many oats to the horses now much
seeds is sown upon the land, and many
other points equally valuable to know.
But q good weighing scale is possessed
bv comparatively few, although its use
would in many ways be even more vau-
able than that of the half bnshel. For
instance, III selling live stock. the weight
is usually estimated by the droyer or
butcher buying at the farmers door.
Long practice enables the buyer to weigh
them very correctly with the eye, and
thus he has the inexperienced seller at an
advantage, which he is not slow to use.
A good Fairbanks standard platform
scale would save its cost in few such
transactions.
The weight of wool, butter. and other
farm products, should be ascertained at
at home, TO prevent mistakes and dishon-
esty in weighing after the goods have
been sent to market The weight of the
grain of cattle auder different systems of
feeding. Iexactly when an animal cea ses

THE DAYS OF THE WEEK.-Most per-
sons are familiar with the facts in refer
ence to the names of the days of the
week, and yet there may be some who
are not able to account for the order in
winch they occur. An'exchange publish
es an account which explains this, and
our readers viii be interested in it.
The division of time into weeks was
probably first made by the Chaldeans;
and the general order as adopted by this
ancient people has existed to the present
time.
According to the Ptolemaic system.
there are seven planets which revolve
around the earth in the following order of
distances, beginning at the most remote
Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus,
Mercury, Moon
The days being divided into twenty
four hours. and each cur, by turns, be
ing devoted in theory to one or another,
IN regular order, Of the divinities which
raled the planets, the present order of
days was necessary, in order to keep up
Stii CttltltC4l u IitcJ cuttN SSlUu.
Saturn or Saturday was the first day OF
the week, the first hour Of which was al
so devoted To Saturn, the second hour to
Jupiter, the third to Mars, the fourth to
sun, the fifth to Venus, the sixth to
Mercury, the seventh to Moon. The
eighth was i'll regular succession devoted
to Saturn, so also the fifteenth and the
twenty-second the twenty third to Jupi-
ter. The twenfy-foartll to Mars, and the
first boar q tie secoDd ddy to Sun, hence
the day is called Sunday. By continuing
the same order. Sun answers to the
eighth, fifteenth and twenty second the
tweHty-third is Venus, the twentv-fonrth
Mercury, ANA the .ft&t hour Qf The third
Dig is Noon, hence Moonday or Monday
Moon answers 70 the eighth, fifteenth
and twenty second hours the twenty
third to Saturn, the twenty fourth to Ju-

Mars-Saxon, Tuisco or Tig, hence Tues
DAY.
The first hour Of tie fifth day, by the
same succession, will e Mercury-Saxon

FROM CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. May 20.-At an early nolr
the delegates, editors, reporters, and all
who were fortunate enough to get tickets
of admission, began to assemble at the
Opera House, preparatory to the open

desire admission
Gov. Ward, Chairman of the National
Republican, Committee, called the con-
ventlon to order. In brief address, he
SAID the delegates were to take no step
backward, TO demonstrate that the war
was failure. An emancipated race,
lifted from slavery, to-day unltes with
the Republican party to maintain repub-
llcan liberty. Neither armed treason nor
political treachery can arrestthe triumph
OF our cause. Great APPLAUSE If
you designate as your leader the great
Captain of the age, the nation will greet
1t as a precursor of victory to our cause
and peace to the Republic. Applause.
On motion of Ward, General Carl
Schurz. Of Missouri, was made temporal
~ chairman, and conducted to the chair
amid applause.

which he returned thanks, sketched the
history of the republican party, and as
serted It's trlumphs in support of liberty,
union, humanity and equal rights.

We have seldom seen such crowds
in the Streets of our quiet village as as
selnbled to see Denier walk the rope.
Old and young, little and large with up
turned faces gathered near and awaited
the coming OF this man of nerve. The
oldest expressions were heard on all
sides. One young lady asked another
If she thought it would hurt him
much if he fell, ooh no" was the
reply, he would strike on his feet. -
"Well, said the first, she has forty
feet to fall" but we could only see t,co
and they didn't fall very much.

SHEEP WAsnING.-The following is
said to be an excellent method for wash
ing sheep: Il take the sheep by the
foretop and fore-legs, and surge them
through the waite backward and forward,
or up and down, until the waterruns clear
from the wool, which generally takes less
than minute in clear running stream
This mode giving me plenty OF exercise,
| can stand in the water longer, and in
moving the sheep as briskly as possible
it oSviates the greater part of the danger
Of chilling the sheep, and, as it cleans
ana purifies the wool from dirt and oil
much better and easier than the ordinary
method of squeezing the wool, it makes
it a plan that should be better known and
more generally adopted,

DEARTRfBUNE: Among alltbe chang
es made by Senator Geo. Reed in our
village charter which was passed by oar
last legislature, the following passage is
the most touching one of any that have
met with.
In section ! of Chapter s. prescribing
the du,ies of the village Marshal occurs
the following. 1t shall be his duty with
or without process to arrest any and all
persons and take them before tbs police
justice for trial whom he shall find in any
public place in said village in state of
lntoxlcatlon or making boisterous noise
or engaged in any affray or fight etc
According to this law the poor Mar
shall has not only to arrest any and all
persons be meets with, but take them be-
fore the Police Justice whom he shall
find in any public place drunk making
all manner of boisterous noises and en-
gagged in some affray or fight ETC. and the
only alternative / can see for the poor
Marshal Is to stay at home and in bed so
IS not 20 meet even his wife or children.
But if the Marshal does not follow this
advice, but arrests everybody he meets
and brings them before thePolice Justice
the second part of his duty Is to be per-
formed, he shall find the Police Justice
in some public place drunk, making all
manner Of noises or being engaged in an
affray or fight etc.
How much trouble this second part Of
official duty may ca g to the Marshal |
dare not contemplate. FRED.

FARMERS Look AT THIs!-For every
bushel Of grain you send to market now
you get 10 cts. more for each bushel than
you did before the harbor was built; this
you are all we'll aware Of, for it cost ten
cents more per bushel to handle it before
vessels came into the river than it does
now Yet you all remember how the
democratic party in the country about
US opposed giving any aid to help build
that harbor-you remember they told
YOU the harbor was only intended to build
up Manitowoc, and other just as silly
yarns. Now those same men are telling
you lies about Congress, but let us ask
where did the one hundred thousand
dollars to build your harbor come from?
Was it rot Radical Congress that gave
it? and are you not benefited by its acts?
Actions speak louder than words, and we
would like to ask, when there was de-
mocratic Congress how much did this
democratic County receive for internal
improvements? Then let democrats howl
on about Congress, but until We are told
what the democracy have done to build
up the country in days past hewlings will
be taken for what they are worth.
