therefore entitled to grateful acknowl-

richly carved frame. But then comes

We would recommend them.

From the Sheboygan Herald.

The LAKE SHORE RAILRoAD.-A
visit from two substantial railroad men,
Messrs. Cozzens and Easton, together
with the laudable efforts of our leading
citizens, has developed a strong proba-
b,lty that work will be commenced on
this important line before many months.
We congratulate the citizens of Manito-
voc on her prospects of having railroad
connection with the world land the
rest Of mankind" soon. We say to
the Manito-uaMers, we will not be
backward here, in Shehoygan, in doing
our share, for the road is of vital inter
est to us and we can pull together and
accomplish much, but by distracting our
efforts in different directions we may de-
lay the enterprise for long time. That
this route will be paying one there can
be no doubt. for it is we'll demonstrated
fact that the shore road from Milwaukee
to Chicago is one OF the best paying
roads III the west. The Sheboygan and
Fond du Lac R. r. Co. will work in
harmony with this enterprise, for the
men comprising this company are alive
to the benefits that will necessarily follow
in the wake Of another outlet for pro-
duce from this rich and fertile region.
So go in, gentlemen, off with your coats,
hurrah for the Lake Shore Rail Road.

WAITING FOR RAIN.
Cnlifornin,s Protrncted Dry Season.

The San Francisco Bulletin Of November % SAYS
''There is anxiety for rain. AS perhaps more than
half the wheat seed for the in the ground
before the light rains OF the rst OF this month FELL
the farmers apprehensiVe lest failure of mOis
ture should blight the sprouts and necesstate a
worth many millions more TO the State than such
season as the last, when we had hardly an average
rain fall.
'Taking the observations at San Francisco for
twenty years as guide, we find that the heaviest
rainy seasons have been preceded by apparently
light rains in November. The repeated floods OF
the season OF 1S6l-62 were preceded by only 3'7s
inches of rain during November and in portions OF
the State we have already had about three inches
for November 1870. In the season OF go, when
less than an average FELL, the November rainfall
was 5'43 inches. In the season Of 1S64-65, when
inches OF more than one-third, fell in November.
The wetest winter since that OF 1S61-62 that OF
lS6G-67, N which 1922 inches of ram fell, and only
2'64 inches in November.
.Thus 1t appears that the amount OF rain which
falls in November does not indicate the character
greatest rain In the mood years, 1s52-3 as much as
l9O inches fell in that month. In lS6l2 the Decem
Der fall was 6'l0 inches; in 1866 IL was 1915
inches, very nearly half of all the rain which fell
in one OF the most prosperous seasons our farmers
ever knew.
'These statistics confirm what the native Cali
fornians and mission settlers told the immigrants
Of 1S49, that we could not tell before December and
sometimes not till Christmas, II the winter would be
wet One-that is, one OF more than average mois-
tuIe. Thus there Is no reason why we should not
anticipate wet winter this season. on the contrary,
the rule that two dry or comparatively dry, winters
are apt to be followed by wet one is in our favor
and the fact that heavy fall rains occurred in Mexico
another fact in our favor, according to the cbSer
Vations OF many years."

BOURBAKI AND THE REPUBLIC.

General Bourbaki, according to the Pail Mall Ga
zette, did not when he left Chisehurs go to Tours
spontaneously. He went first to Brussels, proposing
to return TO Metz but on crossing the
French frontier he received an order from
NJ. Gambetta to report himself at Tours He
obeyed without hesitation. On his arrival there he
was asked authoritatively how he came to leave
Metz, and what he went to do in England. The
General answered him that Marshal Bazane told
him that person named Regnier had come to Metz
with message from the Empress Eugene, who de-
sired to see General Bourhak and that the Marshal
wished him to go. Bourbaki objected strongly to
leave his command, and demanded a written order.
That order was given and thereupOn Bourbaki
passed through the Prussian lines in the Geneva
uniform OF an ambulance surgeon. There was little
occasion for the disguise, since it is obvious that
Bourbaki, whether he knew it or not, was tool in
the hands OF an agent Jointly employed by the
Bonapartists and the Prussians When he
ssid seemed surprised to see him,
and denied that she had seat for him. He gave TO
NJ Gambetta no further account of the converse
tion that passed, which he doubtless considered
confidential. IT, however, NJ. Regniers story be
true, the Empress could not have been surprised at
seeing the General, because If she did not person
ally give the strange busybody his commission, she
aware OF it, did not oppose it, and only objected
that the enterprise was dllcult and dangerous. M.
Gambetta asked him what he thought OF Bazaine.
The answer was at first conveyed by "masing a
face" expressive OF disgust. "Bazaine," he said,
thinks of himself alone" Gambetta then asked
Bourbaki whether, If he offered him a command, he
would accept it, and give his word OF honor as a
soldier that he would serve the republic. He said
he would and Gambetta resolved TO trust him.
