BLIND ToM-In this age of sensa-
tions the musical performances ofBlind Tom,
negro boy born on Georgia plantation,
blind from birth and with no previous in
struction nor advantages other than Nature
gave him, have excited more attention and
comment not only in this country but also
in Europe than almost any other. Nothing
equal to his faculty for executing difficult
pieces ofmusic, even after having heard them
but once, was ever known before. Playing
three pieces at one time and performing
difficult music correctly with his back to the
Piano are among the many wonderful things
which he is able to do. Blind Tom is in
every sense of the word a prodigy and no
one who attends his concert next Monday
evening will come away feeling that he had
not been well paid for his time and money.

THE RAILROAD BoEDs.-We learn
that the executive Board appointed to com
promise and pay the bonds issued by the
city in aid OF the Waterfowl and Madison
Railroad, is now fully organized and pre-
pared for business. As only limited amount
of bonds can be paid yearly under the Law,
those who offer their bonds first and at the
lowest figures will get their money first.
The large amount of railroad bonds issued
by the city and outstanding, and the limited
sum allowed by the law for compromising
and paying them, show that these bonds if
taken up at all must be at very low rates
NJ. B. Williams, Esq, is the corresponding
Secretary of the Board, and all communica-
tons upon the subject should be addressed to
him

A PIoUs STREAK.-"When the
devil was sick the devil monk would be"
says the old rhyme, and something Of that
sort must have taken hold of the Chicago
Times lately. Having for years been con-
sidered the wickedest paper in the west,
Brick Pomeroy's perhaps excepted, given to
publishing every obscene story and bawdy
jest, and INDUCING in ribald blasphemy to
the very verge Of public and official endur-
aace, it has suddenly taken to rebuking the
Germans of Chicago with great JUNCTION and
asperity, but with the usual blackguard az
compartments, for their Sunday amusenents.
To our mind the Times should clean out a
whole raft of timber from its own eyes before
it undertakes to cleanse the eyes Of others.
If our German friends wish to know in what
estimation they are held by the principal
Democratic organ of the west, let them care
fully examine the Times for the last two
weeks

A GOOD HoTEL.-W lille at Milwau-
kee last week we stopped at the Russell
House, having freqently heard it highly
spoken of, and had no reason to regret our
action in so doing or to differ with those
who had commended it to our favor Form
erly this hotel was known as the "Juneau
House" but it has been thoroughly reftted
by the present proprietor, Mr.. Geo. D. Slsson,
and is kept in a manner highly creditable to
him as landlord and worthy of a liberal
patronage from the travelling public. Ex-
cellent fare, well furnished rooms, courteous
treatment from the gentlemanly proprietor
and his obliging employees, and, not least
important in these times, very reasonable
charges, characterize the establishment.
Being located at the corner of East Water
and Detroit Streets it is in the very center
of the business portion of the city, and is
also at a convenient distance from the prin-
cipal railroa depots. We take pleasure in
recommending the Russell House to all who
may have occasion to visit Milwaukee.

The Great Medical Mistake

Of former days was an utter neglect of sam
itary precautions. No efficient means were
adopted for the prevention of sickness
Sewerage was unknown in in cities; drain
age was rarely attempted in the country.
Heaps of offal were left to rot in the public
Streets and domestic cleanliness, the great
antidote to febrile diseases, was sadly neg
lected. 1t is not so now. Wise laws phi
lanthropic institutions, and vigilant sani-
tary police, have, in great extent, remedied
the evil. Nor is this all. PREVENTIVE
MEDICATION has helped materially to lessen
the rates of mortality. 1t is not too much
to say that TENS OF THOUSANDS escape sick
ness in unhealthy seasons in consequence of
having INyIGORATED THEIR SYSTEMS IN ADJ
VANCE by q course of HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS. This pure and powerful
vegetable tonic and Alternative comprises
the extracts and essences of a variety of
roots and herbs, renowned for their sire 9Th
ening, soothing, vitalizing aud purifying
properties. These medicinal agents are in-
corporated with spirit absolutely free from
the acrid poison which defles more or less,
all the liquors Of commerce, and their effect
is diffused through the whole frame OF this
active, yet harmless stimulant. The res ult
is such a condition of the system as renders
it all but ineDe7'Uious to the exterior causes of
disease, such as damp, fog, sudden alterna-
tons OF Temperature, &c. Strength. and the
perfect regularity of all the functions of the
body, are the best safeguards against atmos-
pheric poison and the effects Of unwholesome
water, an HOSTETTER'S BITTERS are
the best strengthening and regulating medi-
cine at present known. For dyspepsia and
biliousness they are a SPECIFIC ABSOLUTE.

SAD OCCURRENCE.-A little child
eighteen months old, was drowned il q tub
of water at Johnson's Creek, last Tuesday.
Its father, Mr.. John Rogers, was close by
working in the garden at the time, and
missing the child, found it face down in the
water and life extinct. He is sure it could
not have been more than FIVE minutes in the
water, but all efforts to resuscitate it were
unavailing. Persons having the charge CT
children cannot be too careful in guarding
against such accidents as these.

promised a short time since, and probably
a greater amount has been secured than vii
be consumed in this immediate vicinity,
which is more than can be said in many

there will doubtless be brisk demand for
the article. and we presume that pressing

The CRoPs.-We have endeavored
the last few weeks to keep we'll posted on
the prospects of the crops and to "report
progress" carefully and exactly as a conse-
quence we have often been obliged to vary
estimates as the changing weather and other
circumstances have affected the growing
grain, and we regret being compelled now to
modify our favorable report of last week.
Along the latter part of the week farmers
noticed tharspring wheat. and especially the
Club variety, was not ''flling" as wellas had
been expected ; nearly every field showed
signs of blight, and the loss from this cause
it is estimated will vary from lG to so per
cent. Lodged wheat will not be worth
harvesting in most cases but there are only
few fields in which very much is down. The
harvest will probably begin quite generally
this week, being rather hurried up by the
unfavorable turn affairs have taken.

MILWAUKEE.--A trip to Milwaukee
last week, the first we have taken in nearly
two years, abounded in incidents and OBJ
servations of interest to yourselves which we
would lay before our readers in detail, had
We the space, hoping they might not be with
out interest to them also. Upon arriving at
the city we were much pleased with the
numerous evidences of rapid and substan-
tai growth which appeared On every hand.
The cry of -t'hard times resounds through
the country but the busy streets, crowded
Wharves and hundreds of buildings, some.of
them among the finest in the west, spring
ing up in all parts of the@city, show that the
prevailing complaint does not apply to Mil
Waukee. Having given a shake Of the hand
to Proctor, the genial and able editor of the
Wisconsin, and to Major J. NJ. May of the
Northeastern Advance, swhose restless and
interchangeable energy is extending his valua-
Die paper to all parts of the country, we set
out for Bay View three miles south of the
city, where the Rolling Mills are located.
This part of our visit IS worthy of a more
extended notice than we are able to give it
here, and viii furnish the subject of future
paragraph. In the afternoon wish about
1000 Others, we went to the Base Ball
ground and witnessed the game between
the celebrated Red Stockings and the Cream
City Club. A little disappointment was
NJ anifested by some in the appearance of the
noted championship disaffected ones APP
parently expecting to see giants, with hands
like chair bottoms and arms in proportion;
utinstead, nine medium sized men, arrayed
in dusty white. suits and red socks, well
Drowned by exposure, quiet, modest but con-
fident in demeanor, stepped out of the omni-
bus and shook hands with the Cream City
boys already upon the ground. The game
was Of course one sided, but interesting as
showing tie wonderful degree of skill which
practice can give. The playing Of the Ohio
ans seemed the perfection Of the game, and
it was difficult to imagine in what respects
it scould be improved; the Milwaukeeans
need practice only to make first class club;
some of their playing was very brilliant, and
showed their undoubted capacity. The best
offeeling prevailed among all present, and the
good plays" OF either side were greeted with
Vociterous applause. The game was closed
with the seventh innings, and the score
showed IS to 7, in favor of the Red Stock
ings.
Eleven at night found lis in Watertown
again, having put in'' hard day, but one
replete with enjoyment and interest.
