OF the principal streets of that thriving
city. In our preambuIations we met
Treat, of the Pilot, who, altGo' so far

type foundry of Noonan & Keehn, and
found everything betokening a lively
season in their branch Of trade. This is
a good firm to patronize, for anything in
the printing line.
Returning ON the Manitolcoc, again
met Treat, L. B. Noyes and "Bnl''
Hitchcock. of Kewaunee, all of whom
were going north. Had pleasant chat
with them. and it was while thus engag
ed, a little episode occurred that goes to

A Dry DocK.-Whenever we see a
vessel go by our splendid harbor in tow
of tug, we think that in all probabili-
ties she has been wrecked and is being
taken to the dry dock in Milwaukee or
Chicago for repairs, and wonder why our
large merchants, enterprising ship-own-
ers and manufacturers do not club to-
gether and build dry dock of their own
in our spacious river, where any kind of
sail craft could be repaired just as well, with
better material, and at much cheaper
rates than any where else on Lake Michi-
gan, We have as good ship builders in
Mauitowoc as any port in America we
have the choicest material for building
purposes in abundance in our county !;
we have harbor unequaled by any of
the lake ports, and the river is navigable
for any craft for miles. We have liber-
ality and capital among our citizens fully
sufficient for any such enterprise. What
hinders its execution? Procrastinatton

FEELS SIcK-The Sheboygan Herald
naturally feels sick oyer the brilliant pros
poets of our city. The last number of
that paper contained an attack upon Mr..
L. Soulerin, the gentlemen who drafted
the map of our railroads, saying that he
did mt know his business because he
showed, on the map, that Manitowoc was
nearer to the Michigan shore than She
boygan. There is not shool boy in this
city but what knows that we gre nearer

HARBoR APPRoPRIATION.-W have
been shown a letter by Mr.. David
Smoke, received from Hon, Phile Gus
Sawyer, and have been allowed to make
the following extract therefrom, showing
that the chances for an appropriation
are good:
Your harbor will probably get
twenty thousand dollars, as we have put
that amount with the River and Harbor
Bill, and shall get the bill through as
soon as possible-perhaps by the 1st OF
July -

these evidences of greatness. All we
have to say i. so On with this sugary in
dulgence, this universal molasses treat
ment, and you will have pets that will
kick you in your old age.
The three elements of power in hu-
manity are the physical, the intellectual
and the moral. The best government of
any kind can be secured only by the ex-
ercise OF all three. He who adopts the
physical only, is ancient; crude, and bar
barious; he who confdes in the intellec.
rual alone, Is transcendental and imprac-
teal; he who trusts wholly in the moral,
OF love principle, is silly. The physical
and moral elements to the exclusion Of
the highest have been most in notice.
The thwacking principle in toto makes
children mulish and creates such a cal
loslty, that it would require a hotter
ire than we usually conceive of, to af
tect the interior. The love principle IN
toto causes intellectual impotency and
moral fatulence, and gorges society with
9oodtshaesS. To trust in this principle
alone, would be as absurd as to do awav
with all law and expect to rule our great
Republic by pulpit influences. We are
fully convinced by observation thai, in ad-
ditlon to intellectual and moral influences,
a little physical persuasion is good: and
were it our intention to continue in the
business, we would use just enough of
the iron to make action toierable and con-
smooth. Indeed, in certain
exceptional gone cases. it is for the
benefit of all to heap much physical force
upon the remaining modicum of morality.
But in parental instruction is the hone
of our country. What is done abroad
depends largely on the gods that preside
over the hearthstone. There is no place
like the hearthstone to foster great mo-
tiyes and gain nobility Of character. We
adopt few lines from the beautiful apos-
trophe of Father Hyacinthe, one Of the
notable characters Of this decade, 80
hearthstone Of my home, rise from the
earth, stand thou as an altar stone before
the Lord, and thou shalt be called Bethel,
the House Of God. On thee rest family

foundations Of her temples

lmpatience by the length of our article
