A Joke on Our Son"

The following appeared in the Tribune
last week:
APOLOGY have again to apologize
to our kind readers and Mr.. Fu,s enich es-
pecially, not for anything we have done
amiss personally, but for the ungent leman.
ly language used by our nior, the local
editor, in what he said in our last issue in
regard to Mr. Fucssenich We hadsaid all we
wanted to say on the subject ourselves and
did not thiuk that our con would allow
hiulself to be carried away by his excited
feelings as he has done.
We have all to learn and never get
through learning, how to know and how to
govern ourselves, and hope that this apol
ogy viii be kindly received and acce pied
by all who have felt themselves insulted or
offended
Brother Borcherd,, the Republican party
will compell you to make an apology
every thirty days, il you don't shake them
off your editorial corps Just sling your
own ink, and then if people don't like
your style, let them go to - thunder.
Your Junior is oil right, only lie is a
little Radical, and if you don't ins,il little
Democracy into him, he will make the best
Republican in the State, in sLor; ,iluc.

You will already have seen an account of
the battle Of Tunis. The affair was fought
with great desperation on both sides, and
was very credItable to the Cubans. The

Eou know how Spanish houses arc built,
like jalls. With heavy gralings on the win
dows. These eratlngs prevented ingress
through the openings, and the doors we're
bcckaded with stone, thus rendering every
house small fortress in itself Noiwith
standing these disadvantages, the Cubans
picked holes through the walls, and pene-
tra,ed house after house, driving the Span
iards TO the last and most Formidable ditch
in the main plaza.
The rebs then set to work and removed
every thing of value, bringing carts into the
town with them for the purpose. The Span

Another Great Bank Robbery.
; NORWALK, Conn, Oct. 9.

NoRwALK, Conn, Oct. 2.
The robbery of the bank here was not
discovered until this morning. The vault
had been pried open, and lying on the
floor at distance of ten feet was the iron
door of the safe, mass of iron weighing
40, 900 pounds, where it was blown with
powder. The explosion occu I'd about one
o'clock this morning, and was heard by
several persons, who endeavoriug TO ascer
tain the cause, without success The loss
of the bank amount to about $50 900, and
that Of private depostors to $4,000 or
$4,000. The burglar tools, which were
left behind are similar to those used in the
Ocean Bank robbery One of the deposi
tors was exceedingly fortunate: he had
placed his entire fortune in an old pocket
book in mis- box, which was found in the
rubbish, all safe.

These two gentlemen have been trying

the darkness. adjourned the action. The

Johnny was the best man, and if he had

it. Have the Green Bay papers any more

desire to see the agricultural interests of
the County advanced, come to the fair,
and come the first day and bring along
your stock, your butter, your grain, your
wife and children, or anything you have,
and try to get the first premium on it.
And if you have nothing which you think
is better than your neighbors, it is time
you had, ant. you had better come to the
fair and see what this County can show

FIRE Last Monday afternoon our citi-

and blowing Of whistles, whicn indicated
that there was a fire somewhere, but some
time elapsed before we we're satisfied as
to where it was; but soon the smoke was
seen issuing from a small building occu
pied as a formerly blacksmith shop
near Jones mill We are informed it
contained some two or three tons of hay,
which was consumed in the flames. Both
fire companies came to the place, but not
until 1t was too late to save the barn; they
however stopped the fire from spreading,
and prevented its getting among the wood
and lumber.
a second alarm was given about four O
clock the same afternoon, by the breaking
out of fire-as every one thoug

WHY DON'T YOU LEARN A TRADE-This
question was propounded in our hearing, a
few days since, to a young man who had
been for several months unsuccessfully seek
ing employment as a clerk or salesman in
some of our leading houses. Complaining
of his illluck, one of his friends, who knew
he had mechanical talent, but doubtful
whether he could make himself useful,
either as a clerk or salesman, put the inter
rogatory to him which we have placed at
the caption of this article. The reply was,
that mechanical trade was not so re-
spectacle as a mercantile occupation.
Under this delusive idea our stores are
crowded with young men who have no ca
pacity for business, and who, because of
the fancied responsibility of doing nothing,
waste away their minority upon saleries
which cannot possibly iquidate their ex-
penditures. Late, too late in life, they dis
cover their error, and before they reach the
age of thirty, many ofthem look with envy
upon the thrifty mechanic, whom, in the
days of their boyhood, they were accus-
toned to deride.

How TO DRESS. Many of our readers
may have seen the following, but many of
them viii derive no harm from reading it
again A good natural figure and taste in
the shape of dress may be wholly spoiled by
inappropriate or ill-harmonized colors. Re.
member that white increases the size of the
wearer, while black diminishes it. Remem-
Der, also, that stripes add to height, while
cross-bars lessen it. Large checks are inva
riably in bad taste, unless PERSONS figure
is so bad that it ought to be concealed.
Never wear dress of many eolors, and
when you have more than one, see that they
are what is called complimentary. Thus
green and red are complimentary. They
harmonize well; 80 do yellow and purple or
ange and blue. Blue and green are utterly
inadmissive together. Then, too these
strong colors ought to be chosen with res
pect to the color Of the complexion. Green
gives coziness to the face of the wearer,
while red tones down the redness of the
skin. Blue assists the beauty Of blonde,
yellow that of brunette White WHITES a
bright complexion black subdues it. Thus
a negress can wear colored dress which
would be intolerable on white, and an In
dian nurse is becomingly clothed in muslin,

THE YANKEES AND THE BEAR

Two Yankees strolling in the woods, with
out any arms, in their possessions observed
a bear climbing tree, with its, paws clas-
ped around the trunk. One of them ran
forward, and caught the bears paws, one in
each hand He then called out to his COM
rade, Jonathan, run home and bring me
something to kill the varmint; and mind you
don't stay, or l m IN fix.
Johnathan ran of, but staid long time.
During the interval, the bear made several
desperate attempts to bite the hand of him
who held it. At length JOhnathan came
back.
'Hullo, what kept you so long ?
We'll, In tell you When / got home
breakfast was ready, so staid to eat it.
Well, said his comrade, come now, and
hold the critter till / kill it..
Jonathan seized the bears paws, and held
the animal
We'll have you hold Of him 7?
I guess L have. "
Very well, then, hold fast; I'm off fol

THE Long AGO.

OH what wonderful stream is the river
Time,
As it rups through the realm of tears,
With faultgess rythm and beautiful rhyme,
And broader sweep and a surge sublime
As it blends with the ocean Of years.
How the winters are drifting like fakes Of
snow,
And the summers like buds between,
With the year in the sheat-so they come and
go
On that rivers breast with its ebb and flow
As il glides in the shadow and sheen.
There magical isle up the river Time,
Where the softest of airs are playingi
There a cloudless sky and a tropical cline
Ana a song as sweet as a yesper chime,
And the Junes with the rsses are staying.
And the name of the isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are hrows nf haanty aud hosoms oi
snow
They are heaps of DUST but we love them so
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
sings,
And a part of an infants prayer;
There's harp unswept and lutte without
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces OF rings,
And the garments that She used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when that
fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in the air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbu-
lent roar,
Sweet voices We heard in the days gone be
fore,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh remember for aye be that blessed isle,
All the days of our lie till night
When the evening comes with its beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile
May that greenwood Of soul be in sight.
