power of temptation possessed by that
seductive beverage.
The Tanner torchlight procession on
Wednesday night was one of the most
magnificent affairs of the kind ever beheld
in this city. The numbers of torches in
line were estimated at near ten thousand
together with which were hundreds of
banners, transparcncies, flags, &c. = The
display and the demonstration elected
the widest enthusiasm alike among parti-
cipators and spectators. The turn out

fact that transportation could not be oh

EoE to Succeed.

The cashier OF, one of our leading banks
resigned some time since aud the payinp
teller was immediately elected to fill the
place. He was quite young man and
was promoted over the heads of those
who had been in the bank many years in
subordinate positions. The secret of the
promotion is we'll worth knowing. The
new cashier lives some miles out Of the
city. He entered the bank when quite
young. He resolved to make himself
useful. Living the fartheSt awav. he
was the first at his post lii the morning.
Having the tarthest to go he was the la. t
to leave. He never was afraid to work.
and never heSijated to lend hand when
his own duties were done. Others would
go out to restaurants aud hotels tor their
lunch. He brought his with him and axe
1t IN little closet. For his own pleasure
he never lett the bank during business
hours. If any Of the clerks wanted to 90
away he was always ready t. take Their
place. lie could always be found and
was PROMPT at any call. His spare time
was devoted TO an intelligent connprehen
sion Of his business. As paying teller he
was very popular He was never snap
Dish or ungentemanly. Growing. grun-
bing, unreasonable customers could not

A FIRE One HUNDRED YEARS OLD

A FIRE One HUNDRED YEARS Old
For something like one hundred years
(says ali English paper fire has been
burning the disused workings of the
Bank Pit Colliery, at Park gate and on
more than one occasion it has threatened
to break through into the workings of
thecolliery belonging to Earl Fitzwilliam.
About twenty years ago this danger was
imminent, and thick bank wall was
erected to avert it. During the recent
dry weather the ground has cracked and
it is supposed current Of air has found
its way into the workings causing the ire
to spread. There is danger of its break
ing through into the Earl 5 colleries.

The Democracy not long since were
giving figures TO show that the Repubi;
can party was mlsusina the funds of the
people, but since the figures were pub
hshed showing that the government now
costs less than it did before the war, those
blow hards have changed their tactics en-
tirely and make the most absurd and
baseless charges the mind can conceive of
charges which have not the least founda

entirely.

The Racine Argus. democratic sheet
not long since published an elaborate
article in an effort to prove that the
recent meeting Of Co lgress cost the
government half a million dollars
The Racine Journal copies the article
and makes the following reply:
The recent session of Congress has not
cost the government one penny either for
mileage or per diem neither has any
adjourned session of Congress. The
whole thing is base falsehood and the
Argus can take which horn of the -dilem
ma it pleases, -ignorance,o or willful lying,
it is certainly guilty of one, and probably
both. Every day member of Congress
sits beyond regular session, he sits at
his own expense; neither can he draw
mileage but once, and that is only half
what.it used to be- No matter how many
adjourned session there may be, they are
entirely at the expense of the member of
Congress.
We rather guess that Argus man will
think he had better get away from Ra
cine.
