Green Bay is growing to enormous pro
portions; the item of sawed lumber alone
aggregating 500,000000 feet, and of
shingles near 600,000,000,w the other
products of the forest shipped from, and
the merchandise and machinery shipped
into, Green Bay foot up annually to
many millions of dollars in value
1t appears that this commerce employs a
large fleet Of vessels, whose aggregate
| tonnage is estimated at near two millions,
and from the records of the lighthouse
keeper at Green Island, on Green Bay,
these vessels in 1863 made over seven
thousand passages past that lighthouse /;
and it is claimed that nine-tenths of these,
being in Chicago trade, would annually
pass through this caNal, thereby lower
ing the freightage and rates of insurance,
and thus cheapenlng the commodities to
the consumers.
The report of lake disasters to vessels
shows that the number of disasters in
1869 was 1904, with a loss and damage
to property of four millions of dollars,
ana it is shown that many of these dis.
asters occur on the Islands in the channel
at Deaths Door, one witness stating
! that when he was on the islands in
October, 1868, he saw the wrecks Of two
! vessels on Plum Island, one on Rock
Island, and large new bark a three
mastcd vessel, had few days before
gone ashore on Detroit Islaud, all of
which proved total loss; and it is urged
that all these disasters and losses will be
avoided by opening this cut off into Lake
Michigan.
The canal company propose to charge
a toll OF not to exceed five cents per ton
measurement for vessels passing through
the canal, but your committee have deem,
ed it BEST to protect the commerce OF
that region by amending the bill so that
five cents per ton shall be a maximum
rate Of tolls ,ea N a.
The magnitude of the Green Bay trade
seeking channel into Lake Michigan
through this proposed canal has satisfied
your committee of it's being merirori6ns
project, and to the shipping Of the upper
lakes q highly Important undertaking, as
lgivlns to that interest a new and com
modious harbor of refuge, without ask
| ing for any money appropriation from
Congress and deeniDg0this shi p canal
and harbor to be Of great public interest,
your committee report the bill back to
The House, with amendments, and RECON-
mend its passage.

Our readers will remember an article
tia appeared in the Educational some
weeks since, headed " Teachers Exami
ma on in Erie Co, Pa" The Supt OF
Schools in Erie Co, has sent us copy OF
th Erie Weekly Gazette in which we find
sasd article quoted in full, and to which
is appended Remarks on the Above"
From the many good things said therein
We quote the following
The above was taken from the edu-
cational department Of the Kenosha TEL
EGRAPH, edited by Prof Hosea Barns,
County Superintendent of the schools OF
Kcnosha County, Wisconsin, We recol-
lect with pleasure our visit with Broth
err Barns, and very much regret that cir
cumstances prevented Us from spending
more time in his company
Friend Barns is young man of consid-
cradle ability, and no doubt is an efficient
Superintendent. x.-g lea sss ssss
When called upon, however, to make
some remarks at the examination to which
he refers, we were led to believe from the
manner in which he criticised the class,
ourself not excepted, that he had, at a
time not far back, been an active worker
in an old-fashioned District Institute, in
which the one having the greatest amount
OF crAtlclsing to do, WAS considered the
champion OF the day--a belief considers
bly, strengthened on reading the above
article. tt sh@ 8fFT
We accept at least one of Bro. Barns
criticisms, and, on the whole, consider his
remarks good.
To the charge of having taken an active
interest in Teachers Institutes at time
not far back we plead guilty; but we
were not aware that we were ever congld-
cred champion critic, nor that we W ere
even possessed of a desire to attain
notoriety n that direction But we be-
ileye that children should be taught the
fratth. TO be so taught, teachers must
knew the truth. That teachers may
have this knowledge, and that they may
De prepared to discharge their duties eff

the state, at least once in each year. At
these institutes, methods of instruction
and statements OF doubtful propriety,
whether made by Teachers, Superintcn-

tidnal textbooks, are freely criticized. If
from associations of this, character we
have arrived at state of mind that will
not allow US to pass ever manifest and
important errors, in the public statements
OF Teachers and Superintendents, espec-
ally when such errors are to be .pron,ul-

THE TURCOS.
Their Hablts--Pet AnimaIs--MOde o Z
Fighting.


The Turcos from Algeria, ineorpor.
ated into the French army, have q
reputation for daring and cruelty.
They are mostly from the tribe OF
Kabyls, have brown, almost black
faces that never see soap, thick lips
and prOtruding jaws, short cut hair,
the head covered with 3 white tuFban.
Their dress is blue jacket with yell
low trimmings, blue pump-panta-
looms, and broad red girdle around
the waist. They are said TO be still
armed with the old infantry rifle,
with the sword bayOnst. They have
considerable to carry with them ;
upon their knapsaeks the Tureos bal
anee a pile Of cooking utensils and
often a tent pole besides. They bring
with them a great number Of pet an
imals such as cats and dogs, the lat
ter Ofwhich are Ofgreat size, and train
ed to seize the brides Of the eneny's
horse, rushing with their masters into
battle, and being of great service II
them. It has been related that som .
have tame jackAls with them. In the
Italian, French and Austrian war Of
1883 these saYages were used against

not very agreeable to their foes. They
would make q mad attack, and then
retire as though repulsed, and hun
dreds Of brown fellows would fall
down as II shot, but no sooner had
the Austrian pursuers passed over
them than they would rise to life
again, and in CONJUNCTION with their
companions in front, make an at
tack from the rear. The Austrians
finally got to know this maneuver,
and took care to run their bsyonets
into every dead or sleeping Tureo
they found. In Algeria these men
are feared on account Of their brutal
ity and lieentiOusness; when drunk
they are perfect brutes. They are the
only MOhammedans whom a traveller
says he ever saw drunk, and as the
true Mussulman has q detestatiOn of
this vice, the TureOs ar1 greatly de-.
spised among them. Several German
gentlemen have offered prizes to the
soldiers capturing these fellows alive.
They will be placed at the head ofthe
French army when making the great
attacks.

The BuTro mines, now famous as
the largest ledge of silver ore ever dis
covered, consist Of a vast body Of sill
yer ore cropping out from the surface
to height Of several hundred feet.
There Is q cut across the ledge forty
feet wide, believed to have been made
many years ago. On the sides OF the
cut native silver In various forms is
visible. Assays Of the ore yield all
the way from 800 TO SO, 600 per ton.
The space covered by the ledge, sew
eral thousand feet either way, is al
ready marked out in claims. Althoi
on the borders Of Arizona, the Burro
mines are within the boundaries of
New Mexico, about fifty miles east of
Apache Pass, and within fivs miles OF
the line marked out for the Southern
Pacific Railroad, on the thiFty-second
parallel. The most expeditions route
thither is by way Of California, and
it involves travelling about five hun
dred miles through the Apache eOun-
try. The Apaehes are not especially
friendly. There is no water to speak
OF around the ledge, though Il is
hoped that some may be obtained by
deep boring. "Burron means Jack

Of the regular army when fit for ser
vice, attend to military school instrue-
ton, and, passing two examinations
as ensign and second lieutenant, can
be promoted to the rank OF officer
No corporal or sergeant can ever at
tain that rank, unless il be by partieu-
lsrly distinguishing himself on the
field Of battle.
But not only are the German Off
GERS decidedly ahead Of the French In
science and theoretical knowledge,
they are also far superior In their
morale. The Emperor NapOlean only
demands that his officers be brave SOL
diers, blindly devoted TO him, and
does not care In the least about their
morals and their behavior The words
Like master, like men" might be
very appropriate here. The German
corps Of officers is animated by strict
sense Of honor, and they take particu-
lar care to drive out from among them
any one who should become guilty Of
ungentlemanlike behavior. They
frequently take the matter into their
own hands without resoFting to an
information to the government for
the expulsion Of q miscreant.
The staff Of the army Of the North
German Confederation is formed out
Of the elite Of its corps Of of6cers, and
may safely be placed above Sny other
general army staff in the world. The
head and soul OF It Is the renowned
veteran General Baron Won moltke
whose eminent services during the
campaign Of 1885, are stiE too fresh in
the memory OF every one 30 need any
special comment here.
At the commencement OF this year
the North German army had fifteen
army corps physieians, two hundred
and thirty regimental physicians,
three hundred and fifty battalion piIy-
sieians, and six hundred and ninety
one assistants. The number has been
considerably augmented since the
outbreak Of hostilities.
When in the field every army corps
has twelve field hospitals, each for
200 sick and wounded. The volunta-
~ hospital service, which has proved
such great blessing during the cam
paign Of 1885, has again been organ
lied, and q central bureau is establish
ed, where friends and relatives can
obtain immediate information not
only Of the sick and wounded in the
field hospitals, but also Of those re-
moved from the field Of battle for
treatment in private domieils. All
the arrangements may be said to be as
far perfect as human ingenuity and
Christian benevOlenee can make them.

THE LAWYER,S RUSF,

| This story is related Of a lawyer,
/ who has since attained eminenes in
I his profession. A case in which he
was engaged as a counsel for the de-
fendant came on q certain day. As
he was insufieiently prepared, he
was anxious to have the case post
pOned for few days, that he might
have further time !Or his purpose
Unfortunately there was q great press
Of business, and he knew that his mo-
ton would be Overruled, unless some
extraordinary reason was alleged
Under these circumstances, he be-
thought himself Of an expedient =
Rising with his handkerchief to his
face he addressed the judge in accents
Of emotion:
May it please your honor, I have
Just been informed that my mother is
at the point Of death. Ny emotions
are too great for me to proceed in this
case. I move that it be postponed
until day after tomorrow
This request would have been grant
ed by the court whose sympathies
were strongly excited in h:s behalf,
but ut this moment tc the discOmfit-
ure Of the lawyer, and the amusement
Of the audience, the shrill voice OF
his mother was heard issuing from the
gallery: .r
