EXTRACT OF BUTTER PLANT.

A brief aliuEion to the orizin OF this import

Among the authenticated records OF the re-

Coast OF South America, he observed the ma

peculiar oil, which, upon examination, be
found 10 possess the appearances, taste and
evsr. he ascertained Nat it was simply a sub
stance that the natives distilled in a crude and
imperfect manner rom q rieh and luxuriant
plant that grew spontaneously and ab1ndantly
in that warm tropical country. A few years
ago an eminent French chemist. white on a
professional visit TO the tropics, made nHmer-
Gus experiments with this remarkable pro-
duction of nature, snd succeeded in extrasting
q concentrated essence OF The plant The for
muls for It's preparation, and the SSe Right

FLOR NCT
MACHINE.

We claim for the FLORENCE the fol-
lowing advantages over any and all
Sewing Machines:
Gg- II makes four different stitches,
the lock, knot, double lock, and double
knot, on one and the same machine.
Each stitch being alike on both sides OF
the fabric.
EE- Every Machine has the reversible
feed motion, which enables the operator,
by simply turning thumb screw. to
have the work run either to the right or
left, to stay any part of the seam, or tas-
ten the ends of seams, without turning
the fabric.
Eg Changing the. length of stitch,
and from one kind of stitch to another,
can readily be done while the Machine is
in motion.
EE The needle is easily adjusted.
EE It is almost noiseless and can be
used where quiet is necessary.
@ It's motions are all positive; there
are no springs to get out of order, and
its simplicity enables the most inexpe
itehCcu 10 operate IL.
.Gg 1t does not require fner thread
on the under than the upper side, and
will sew across the heaviest seams, or
from one to more thicknesses of cloth,
without change of needle, tension, or
breaking thread.
ES The Hemmer is easily adjusted
and will turn any width of hem desired
HE No other Machine will do so
great a range of work as the Florence.
~ 1t will hem, fell. bind, gather,
braid, quilt, and gather and sew on a
ruffle at the same time.
EgI 1t is fully protected and licensed
by Elias Howe. Jr., and his associates,
and our own Letters Patent.
The taking up of the slack thread is
not performed by the the irregular con-
traction of wire coil OF uncertain oper-
alton of wire levers. The precision and
accuracy with which the Florence draws
the thread into the cloth is unapproached
in any sewing machine offered in the
market.
Each Machine is furnished by us with
Barnum's Self Sewer, which guides the
a0Ork ITSELF and is of incalculable value
especially to inexperienced operators.
Possessing the above, and many other
advantages, the Florence is sold at cor,
responding prices with other first-class
machines, and careful examination will
fully substantiate all that we have claim
ell for it, and Justify the assertion we
now make, that it is the best sewing ma
chine in the world.
Every machine is warranted by US to
be all that we claim for it, and we will
give a written warranty if required.

Candidates for Lieut.. Governor.

There seems TO be kind of tacit un
Outstanding among the leaders of the Re
publican party in all parts of the State,
that the sixth congressional district is
Justly entitled to the second place upon
the state ticket. We know of but two
candidates in the district prominently
mentioned for that position. Hon. w.
]. Corr. of this county, our present
state senator, and Hon. THAD. G. Pound,
of Chippewa, have been placed before
the people, by the press, as asnirants for
the office Of Lieut.. Governor.
While no serious objection can be en-
tertained to Mr.. PoUND. yet. all things
else being equal, no doubt the best inter
ests of the ST. Croix valley VIII be far
better subserved by the nomination of
Senator Corr. His election to that of
fics would, in fact. give US the influence
of an additional representative and this
reason alone, should be sufficient to unite
the three districts of the Valley in his
favor.
Moreover, Mr.. Corr is well known
as a man of high character and ac-
knowledged ability, an experienced leg
is!ator and good PARLIAMENTARY. His
years of service, in both branches of the
legislature render him eminently fit to
discharge the duties of presiding officer
of the senate with credit to himself aud
that honorable body. One Of the pio-
neers Of the Republican party in the
Northwest, he has ever been among the
representative men of the sixth district,
and if Icing and faithful service is esteem
ed of any value, then IS he fairly enti-
tied to some reward at the hands of his
friends.
We feel assured the republicans of the
st. Croix valley especially, will extend
their aid in securing his nomination. II
will give this locality additional influence
in the State councils, the reed of which
has been severely felt whenever any eff
fort has been made to further any project
tending TO the development and improve.

New PAPER.-Wo nders will never
cease. The latest wonder in this section,
is the rumor that Chas. Seymour, of the
La Crosse Republican, is to start another
Republican paper in this city. The reason
for this move, is a rather remarkable one,
as stated by Mr.. Seymour, namely, TO
spite ore of the proprietors of this paper,
because he is interested in the new paper
abont tn he started at La Crosse. 1t is
all right, however Mr.. Seymour has All
undoubted right to start paper here for
any reason whatever. The movement is
made without the solicitation of RepubIi-
cans here, and receives no encouragement
from the party at large. But that, of
course, should make no difference when
it is necessary to work out little spite.
Come on. We will not quarrel with you.
You will find here an enterprisng, intel
ligent and social community section
unsurpassed for ITS natural advantages;
with prosperous present and promis-
ing future. The Star and Times will be
here, also, we trust, and will extend
neighborly kindnes>es to all new co ners,
and strive to continue to improve with the
growth and development Of the country.

F2Osv ora o. Steamer.

We have the particulars of fearful
row which occurred on the steamer Du-
6ugue the 10Th ult. near Rock Island,
while on her up trip. 1t seems that the
boat had aboard large number Of RATS
men, most of whom took deck passage.
When the clerk went among them to take
the fare, he stationed negro at the stair,
way with orders to allow no one to pass
without permission from him. The ne,
gro thus standing guard undertook to pre-
vent one Of the raftsmen going up stairs.
Upon force being used the negro struck
the raftsman. whereupon the latter de-
manded satisfaction, and it was agreed to
fight it out then and there. The two
took their positions, when the negro drew
a knife. This proved the signal for
general onslaught upon the colored deck
hands. Pistols, knives and Jumps of
coal were brought into requisition and
used with deadly effect. Three negroes
were killed aud their bodies thrown over
board. Others were wounded, but not
fatally. At Clinton, Iowa, the boat was
boarded by officers and between forty
and fifty of the rioters arrested, and
conveyed back to Rock Island,
where they have this week been under
going examination in justice court. Those
implicated in the brutal outrage will re-
ceiye their trial in circuit court where
they will doubtless get the just deserts for
their misdeeds.

A Lower Rate OF Interest.

Il is stated that banking house in
Frankfort, Germany, Cffess 10 loan our
government three hundred millions of
dollars at 3 per cent whiC Ia the secretary
has, of course been obliged to decline.
His view is that we may, within n year,
borrow all the money we want at per
cent. or certainly at per cent and
present indications seem TO be, that he
will, next winter, advise such loan for
the purpose of paying off the 3 20s due
now, or whenever the government
chooses to SO consider them. A private
letter TO the secretary, from well advis-
cd source in England, expresses the opin-
ion that bond at per cent. can easily
be negotiated in Europe within six or
eight months, but we don't understand
how much he could get for such bond.
Our five per cents. are now worth, in
this country, about Sill, although we
have so many bonds that bear higher
rate of interest. If we sell new bonds,
bearing lower interest, TO get mesns to
cancel the ones already out, of course oul
credit will be improved as soon as the
determination of the country to thus save
the payment of high interest becomes
apparent. We ought 10 get money at
as low rate Of interest as any first-class
nation does; aud should, undoubtedly,
be able to borrow on better terms than
we now do but for the camor of the
democracy about corruption and repudi
ation.-.Stdte Journal.

CANDIDATES FOR STATE TREASURER.
Until recently the only prominent can
didate for the nomination of State Treas
urer upon the Republican ticket was
LLEwELLYN BREEsE, of Columbia coun-
ty. SAN. McCORD, Esq, of Milwaukee,
is now mentioned as candidate, and it
is claimed, will be supported by the dele
gates from that city. HENRY BErz, an
influential German Of Manitowoc county,
is also in the field, strongly supported
by the republicans Of that section. We
know of no man 10 the state better quail
iiol for that position than NJ. BREEsE.
If fine business capacity, integrity and

ton with that Office, he will not be east

TAXES on INcoMEs.-Next year is
the last year, under the Internal Revenue
law as it now stands, in which the tax on
incomes is to be collected. The amend
ment passed in 1867 to the 10th section
of the law reads thus:
That the taxes on incomes herein i'm
posed shall be levied on the first day OF
March, and be due and payable on or
before the thirtieth day of April. in each
year, until and including the year eighteen
hundred and seventy, and no longer.
Unless, therefore, Congress extends
the operation Of this tax, it's existence
has early come TO an end.
