Who Pulls the most Fur I?

For some time back there has been fam
lily quarrel existing between the Oshkosh
Northeastern, published at Mr.. SAWYER S
home, and the Manitowoc Tribune, which
originated by the former paper charging
the latter with having betrayed MIR. SAW
YER at the election, and given its influence
(what little it possessed) towards the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Villas. At first the quarrel
was merely child's play, but our comba tive
neighbor of the 7il bune having ''got his
back up, according to his own testimony,
it is likely to prove a regular Kilkenny
cat fight" the conquerer being deemed the
one who pulls the most fur The last blow
in this pugilistic encounter was struck by
Mr. FINNEY, of the Northwestern, who, it
seems, is magnanimous enough to promise
the Tribune bully return of all of the fur
which might come into his possession.
Here is what he says:
1.-The Manitowoc Tribune labors under
the curious hailucination that, during the
campaign last fall, it did much service in
the cause Of MIR. Sawyer. Its monomania
extends SO far, that 1t originated most, if
not all, the weighty blows put in by the
Republican press of this District. The
Tribune would probably use the word in
the sense the boy did, who laughed i'm
moderately at a witty speech OF his play
mate, and as soon as lie could control his
voice enough to speak, said, we'll that is
original to me- The Tribune says:
BE it known that MIR. s. ran but little
behind in localities where the Tribune is
most extensively read.
I'VE regret that the publishers have not
much circulation in Manitowoc county; We
congratulate them on securing the County
Printing, however, even if it will be con-
eealed III their paper, and we tender our
sympathy for the failure to obtain the col
leclorship.
1T further fears If We should get our
backs up possibly the fur might fly some>
where
Indeed we trust that the Tribune will
be able to control the elevation OF its back,
at least so far as to prevent the loss OF Its
fur, but at any rate we feel so kindly to
wards that paper that should the fur show
er chance to come, zoe aciW carefully return
to the oWuer any portion that may fall IN
this baliwick.
The final whine of the Tribune in its ar
ticle of last week, that paper will soon and
deeply enough be ashamed of, and we are
thus spared the necessity Of comment.

Strange ADVICE from a Radic:l Paper.

Strange ADVICE from a Radical Paper.
The Daily Wisconsin. of Milwaukee, a
very Radical paper, urges Gen. GRANT to
take Gen. LEE into his Cabinet in the fol-
lowing emphatic language;
''As to the Southern representatives in
the Cabinet, who should they bef We
know that in What We utter We shall differ
widely from most men in the North, but
we have long held to the opinion that
Grant, the soldier, Grant, the magnanl>
nous, Grant, the Elect Of the people,
could properly and nobly tender one OF his
Cabinet appointments to ROBERT h. LEE,
by all odds the fist and DOblest man in the
rebel Confederacy. 1t would do vastly
much to heal the sore differences between
the North and the South it would make
our lately alienated Southern bret nren feel
hat they had near place IN our hearts
aud our homes, that We are now one ma
ton, that our glory is their glory, and that
they have large share In the success OF
the administration OF our great President.
Gen. Lees personal character is SO pure, so
elevated, SO Christian, and really SO mem
orable, that ali the world woul say that
President Grant. i'll so acting, had obtained
a worthy compeer, and the magndnimily
which he had evinced could only he ex>
pectcd from nation which is most terrible
in war to its enemies, but which is so gen
erous and forgiving in peace, that in the
worlds annals it has not merely earned the
title of the great nation, but the nation of
nations.
General Lee at the mead of the Indian
Department or at the head of the Interior
would form fitting star in the constella
ton of great men whom the Republic ex
poets and demands shall surround Presi-
dent from whom is required the performs
ance of higher, larger and more far reach
ing duties than were ever devolved upon
chief magistrate of this or any other
country"

Some Of them are very curious, while oth-

graYest smile Among The most amusing
is the following:
DOW He CAME 10 GET DRUNK.
Bill T. was one Of the finest workmen IN
his profession but would have a spree oc-
casionally, consequently his employer (who
was also nine, by the way discharged
him several times and the last time il
came about in this manner. Bill got very
drunk one night, and OF course was not on
hand the next morning, so Tie boss" sent
him his discharge. Bill got perfectly sober
bv the next day, and called at the shop and
requested the ''boss" 10 step over to lawyer
Ms Office, across The way, as he had
little business of importance 10 settle.
Over they went, when BID asked lawyer
N to draw off an affidavit, which he
did, and then and there Bill was to quit
drinking for one year alter Witnessing
which, the boss cheerlally engaged him
again, and be vent right over to work.
But 10 and behold tie very next day
Bill got out, and got SO blind drunk" that
he was carried home on ladder. OF
course he could not get aronnd the next
morning; SO about 9 O'Clock the "Doss"
went over 10 bis boarding house toGee what
was up; aud there lay Bill on the bed,
booIs ard all on. Giving Bill shake, he
com nenced with, "Well, Bill, for heaven
sake what kind of a man are you, any
way2 Can it be possible that you think
nothing of your oath, or are you crazy p
"Now bold on, boss" said Bill, still
you hear the particulars. You see | start
ed out for little walk last night, and left
that confouaded old affidavit In my other
coat pocket: That's the way ! came to
get drunk. F" G. e. L.
THE TWO JoKERs.
Everybody in the village of c. recol-
ects the good hearted, genial and eccentric
Niles W., who kept & well stocked 'Yan-
kee Notion" store. Niles was noted as a
practical joker. Nothing pleased him
more than to succeed in what he termed
getting rig on friend. He was sitting
in front of his store one morning when Hi
ram B., the village teamster, was driving
past at brisk trot Halo, Hiram"
cried Niles, rising and reckoning for him
TO stop. The teamster pulled up" in
front of the store and innocently asked ::
whats wanting p Your hind wheel
is loose said Niles, with imperturbable
gravity. Il saw it turning on its axle. =
The teams.er made no reply but looked
like Forrest when altering King Lear S
curses. The next evening Hiram entered
the store, and with very patronizing air,
asked Niles If he had any good needles.
sob, yes" said Niles, "a fine assortment, y
at the same time showing him some. of

SD Cows that hold up milk, Mr.. John
son says, can be cured if they will drink
sour milk. After drinking, and as soon as
they begin to lick the pail, they will give
down freely. He has tried it with cows
that would give about two>thirds the prep
err quantity, retaining the other portion
Then he gave them the milk to drink, and
waits until they begin to lick the pail,
when he had no trouble in obtaining the
remainder. He has tried meal, salt, and
various things, but found nothing to pro-
duce such an effect as sour milky T.

Tenth Annual Address
OF THE
CARRIER OF THE PILOT.
Address
JANUARY /, 1869.

happy new ear! Happy New feart
Patrons and friends.
Happy new year the carrier bends
And salutes you all with grace,
With merry nod and laughing face.
You see I'm here again with my song,
Hhistling and singing gaily along.
Last night as the clock so solemnly told
The hour Of twelve, and the weird wind cold
"nistled mournfuily through the empty streets
Where the old year king the young prince
meets,
With wall Of woe and a shout of Joy,
As the old king died, and the ice clad boy
Took up the seepter and crown Office,
With the old kings blessing and learned i'd
vice.
But now, ~ the old mans passed away,
Let us turn to the circles so happy and gay.
There's music, and dancing, and songs Of
mrth,
nd merriment, too, Ger the happy earth.
nd even the bibles are happy, and crow,
For Santa's been here with his chariot Of
snow.
Theirs a merry twinkle of little bells,
nd q laughing creak in the cringing snow
nd crashing din that rolls and swels
nd Fastening feet move to and fro.
Ger mountain side, DER peak and vale,
The bleak wind signs with a mournful vail
The hel bage's long been dead in the fields,
nd overed oer with an icy shield
The wren sings not in the snowy waste,
And the gras. plot creaks in its icy lace.
You expect from The carrier political lore
GRANT, you think, is President now,
But It's no such thing, solemnly vow;
lie may be, though, next March, think,
So come, dear friends, let's take drink
And well toast to the nation, and pray
That the party Of dominant sway
May not ruin our country forever
But to retrieve our bad luck with patient
haste,
Nor prattle and prate DER color and caste
And we-let the world know we're a thriving
town,
city to love, and place of renown
Only think, our harbor is finished,
COR nearit it, our wealth scarce diminished.
Steamboats, and vessels now make 1t their
home,
And are safely rescued from the dashing foam
Our stores; III number, eighty-seven,
Our hotels number just eleven;
Our business shops, some twenty-three,
And of mills, in town, we've five in all,
And workshops, too, and many hall.
It's true, the times are rather hard,
And lawyers, (like the ancient bards,)
Are looking dull and very sad,
And doctors, too, are growing mad,
or men refuse TO die.
The boys are out on their skates away,
And the world is enjoying q holiday.
The eather is clear and bright,
For busin .ss here is always good,
And each, therefore, in his happy mood,
Is ready to shout in his glee,
And bless his stars for the joys that be.
Well shout and laugh, and nothing fear,
For New Year comes but once year
Well laugh and ride with the darling girls
Whose rosy cheeks and dancing curs
Steal our hearts away
On New Years. day
Bless their hearts
And winning artist
Loving eyes,
Stfed signs,
Killing
Willing
Too are we to die,
BY woman's loving eye.

said Hiram. He Has shown several other

said Hiram. He was shown several other
sizes,sbut none would suit. Finally Niles
got down his largest sized "darners =; still
Hiram insisted that they we're not large
enough for his purpose. Niles inquired
with some astonishment, What in the
world do you WANT to do with them Y' Il
wanted one for a lynchpin for that loose
wheel, said Hiram. The two men looked
at each other for about halt minute, when
Hiram disappeared through the door.
THE GRECIAN TWIST.
Time, "1he dark girl dressed IN blae )
AS was walking down the street
Last week, one nice fine day,
dashing girl CHANGED to meet,
Dressed out in fashion gay
She sweetly smiled on this young gent
To her my hand | kissed
And turning back, I9uiokly went
Tothe girl with the Grecian Twist.
My arm offered unto her,
Which quickly she did take
And we walked as far as Taylor's
And had cobblers, cream and cake.
At last we started out to go,
When something then she missed,
And turning pale, she said to me,
I've dropped my Grecian Twist"
We walked straight up to Union Square,
And looked round left and right
And | said unto this damsel fair,
There is no Twist in sight"
Just then, We passed large fine store,
Where Twists were hung to view
And | said "Just wait moment, dear.
And III get Twist for you''
Invent in the store and got a Twist
The size of dinner plate;
Then took her home, about mile
But there | did not wait, [red,
For her hair was black, and the Twist was
So soon after was missed
And since that day ne'er have seen
That girl with the Grecian Twist

Total loss in 8 years
563 100000

Stock in 1868. s22S 800 900
1T would thus appear that the present
stock of the precious metals in the Allan
tic states is close upon $3.50, 900, 900. 1t is
not to be supposed, however, that all this
exists III the form of coin, nor even of coin
and bars. A certain portion of the supply
of gold and silver has been taken for cons
mercial purposes. That form of consump-
ton has been largely increased within late
years, under the high duties on jewelry and
plate, and perhaps could not be safely esti-
mated at less than 0,000 900 per annum.
Assuming this to be full estimate, and de.
Quoting only so, 900, 900 from the iorego-
ing balance, we should have about $780,
900, 900 as the present stock of coin and
bullion in the Atlantic states.
1t is much more likely that the existing
stock, including the amount in the U. s.
Treasury, does not exceed $3.50, 100000

Too are we to die,
By woman's loving eve

Now, you'll say that's short, and shorter still
The carrier s-Sich-at least he's III;
Not bit twas only earnest haste,
And that you sees the carriers taste
But now, perhaps, It's time to part
SO then, dear friends, with heavy heart,
The carrier lifts his hat to you,
And bids you oil warm adieu!

Amount of Gold in the Country.

Senator MORTON in his speech, put the
amount OF gold in this country at $500, 000-
600 at least, and thought it might reach
1872, 600, 900. The New York CONNER
cttal and Financial Chronicle shows that
this estimate is far too high, and, assum-
ing that travellers in Europe have taken
out as much as emigrants have brought in,
and leaving out the circulation in the Pa
cifc States, as of no use to the banks of
people of the sAtIantic states, makes the
following estimate:
Gold in Atlantic states

Product for mines in
eight years, ending
June so, 1868. 4s5, 100000
Imports of specie for
