The Nomination of VIM. P. Lyon.

The telegraph announces the NOM
ination of Hon. VIM. Penn Lyon, of
Racine, as the republican candidate
for Congress in the First District.
This is a nomination eminently fit to
be made. Judge Lyon is we'll known
to the people of Wisconsin, as one OF
the ablest and best men in the State.
He has had experience as legislator,
having served as Speaker of the AS
sembly, in the sessions Of 1S59-60, in
which position he was very popular.
Soon after the breaking out of the
war, Mr.. Lyon entered the service
of the country, and was gallant
soldier. ON his return from tho war,
he was elected Judge of the First
Judicial Circuit, which place he has
held ever since. Judge Lyon is very
popular in the district, and will draw
to his support the full strength Of the
party. The district is a close one,
but can be carried by the republicans
if they arouse and work with their
might. With such a candidate as
Judge Lyon, there should be no ap-
athy. All should work with energy
tilllthe day of election. BY so doing,
a representative will be secured from
that district, in every way worthy
to succeed the noble and gallant
Paine, who bias served the people so
faithfully for threeIterms in Congress,
and who peremptorily declined a re-
eection.-lStdte Journal.

Upon this the New York Tribune
remarks as follows:
"Mr. Colfax has performed his full
share of the public duty that re-
public has u right to require of its
wisest and worthiest citizens, and
has right to the retirement which
he requires, and is so we'll qualified

Indiana he was for fourteen years
a Republican Representative in Con-
gress, for four years chairman Of the
Postoffice Committee, for the next
six Speaker, and was then translated
to the Chair Of the Senate by his
election to the Vice-Presidency. He
has been throughout wise counsel

who, while q Jealous politician, never
forgot that he was a Christian. The
country can poorly afford to release
such man from her service"

Editorial Personalities.

The La Crosse Leader says that no
one thing SO lowers the newspaper
profession, as it's indulgence in edi-
torial personalities. No true gentle
man will allow an editorial contest to
degrade itself into mere personal
abuse. The calling of editors by name
except in way of compliment
should never be permitted in news
paper columns. To this vulgar and
vicious practice ofabusive personality
is due the low standard of the editor
ial profession, for it is not TO be dis
guised that, while newspapers are 3
power in the land, their managers
have not such reputation for truth,
candor ard courtesy as should mark
calling upon which hinges interests
so delicate to individuals, so import
ant to the state. so vital to the ma
ton and so essential to the human
race. Those editors of which we
speak are exceptional ; at least those
who are guilty of the attack, for there
are others, goaded to retaliation by
unjust personal aspersion, tempted to
fight back with the same weapons,
who never would be the first to enter
the field of personal detraction'
1t becomes very nice question to
a sensitive man, one who recognizes
the law of courtesy, and who values
good breeding. or admires inherent
delicacy Of feeling, to know how to
act under the personal attacks of
blackguard. Patience ceases to be a
virture, and selfrespect demands
that something should be done, either
to silence the slanderer, or break his
venemous shaft.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The Democrat
ic demonstration Of the people of
London tonight in Trafalgar Square
was one of the greatest popular as
semblages ever seen in the British
capital. For two hours the streets
leading to Clerkenwell, Bethnal
Green and Halborn were alive with
successive professions of working
mems societies and the metropolis.
Each body of men as it advanced
along the crowded thoroughfares pre-
coded by bands of music and illum-
mated by torches and transparencies
was followed by repeated cheers
from the people who thronged the
sidewalks, and many houses and
shops on the line Of the procession
were illuminated, and from the win
dows Of many others, were suspend
ed in gas light, the flags of France,
England and America. L counted
no fewer than thirty American flags
displayed along the Strand betwee q
Somerset House and Trafalg
Square. By s o'clock Trafalga
Square was one dense mass of people
from the front Of the National Acad-
envy to around the statue of King
Charles. Perfect order prevailed
along the route of the professions
and throughout the proceedings of
the evening. The banners borne by
the societies were inscribed with
notices proclaiming the great doc
trines of liberty, equality and frater-
nifty, one in particular by a society
from Hackney,in which were inscrib-
ed: THE United States of Europe
greet the United States of America
with peace on earth to men of good
will" was hailed with rapturous and
repeated cheers. The meeting was
presided over by Mr.. Merriam, who
made an effective speech, in the
course of which he alluded to the
fact that while the London Press
ridiculed and sighted that Republi-
can movement in England to which
their own daily denunciations of the
worthlessness of the royal family
give constant encouragement and
strength, the American Press, thous-
ands Of miles away, recognizes its
Importance, and lends its moral sup
port and generous sympathy, as the
American Republic lends its price,
less support and glorious, successful
example.
These remarks were received with
perfect tempest of cheers for the
United States, and spirited address
to the Republic of France was
adopted, in which it is declared that
the monarchs of Germany prosecute
the war now against republication,
and not against France, and that in

irreconcllable with calm impartiality
and craftsmanship. Two hundred
thousand victims have already been
sacrificed to her ambition in this
impious war, and it is certain that
she will dictate to France conditions
that this momentary and incompe-
tent government should not accept
hence we convoke an assembly free
ly chosen to decide. What we now
ask is only to give the country our
hearts and our blood. Then let
France decide, not our transient au-
thority, but immortal France, rails
ing itself to confront Prussia
France, released from the winding
sheet of empire, France free and
generous, is ready to immediate itself
for right and liberty and disavowing
all these exalted political ideas of
the old government; France has
now no higher ambition than to re-
main mistress of herself, in order to
develope her moral and material SER
vice, and labor fraternally with her
neighbors; in the development Of
civilization. 1t is thus France in
reviewing its free action is now for
cessation of war but she will prefer
thousand disasters to dishonor.-
The very ones who awoko the storm,
now, falsely. say the country is will
ing to yield. This may mislead
abroad, but not here. France wishes
prosperity, commerce, civilization,
but prefers disaster to dishonor.
1t is the duty of France to repair
as far as possible the evils of the
of the past. The Government cleo
tons last year were Elusive. France
never voted for war with Prussia
No honest man in Europe thinks so.
TO the power now seeking to crush
US we must oppose a desperate re-
sistance, until the nation is able TO
speak through consistent Assembly
freely chosen. Make the powers
understand this, adds Favre. Man
kind must not only admire but pity
the spectacle of Paris, without look
ing to the right or left, or backwards,
but with its eyes fixed on the great
and simple duty of defending its fire.
sides and its freedom.

MAKING WILLs.-There are vari-
Gus ways Of making a will. Lord
Clyde, the celebrated English gener-
al, wrote his at his club on a sheet of
note paper in half dozen lines, and
it was duly proved. A certain host
Ter in artlcuLo m0rttS, crawled to the
corn-chest, raised the lid, scrawled
bis parting injunction on the wood
with a piece of chalk, got a postboy
and stable-man to witness his sig
nature, and the box lid being taken
off its hinges, was accepted as valid
instrument. An eminent English
queens counsel made. his last tesla
ment in these words, Everything to
my brother Tom !" and being duly
attested, the document was found
sufficient. On the other hand, IL was
remarked of the great artist, Turner,
that he could draw every thing but
a will. since, wishing to leave five
hundred thousand dollars to found
an ASYLUM for decayed oil painters,
his intention was defeated owing to
imperfections in the witnessing.

BE SOCIAL AT HoME-Let parents
talk much and talk much at home.-
A father who is habitualy silent in
his own house may be in many re
spects wise man, but he is not wise
in his silence. We sometimes see
parents, who are the life Of every
company which they enter, dull, 81
lent, uninteresting at home among
children. If they have not mental
activity and mental stores sufficient
for both, let them first provide for
their own household. Ireland ex
ports beef and wheat and lives on
potatoes; and they fare as poorly as
those who reserve their social charms
for companions abroad, and keep
dullness for home consumption. 1t
is better to instruct children and
make them happy at home than it
is to charm strangers or to amuse
friends. A silent house is q dull place
for young people--aplace from which
they will escape if they can. They
will talk or think of being"shut up"
there; and the youth who does not
love his home is in danger.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The Au-
gust report on the crops, from the
Department of Agriculture, says
corn is injured somewhat in some
localities by the drought, wet
weather, worms and heavy frosts,
but not injured sufficiently as yet to
threaten the reduction of the aggre-
gate product heretofore anticipate,
although the prospect is not discour-
aging. There is little in the figures to
indicate a decreased yield of cot
ton and favorable weather hence
forth must insure a considerable in
crease. The returns upon the wheat
product pertain chiefly to the condi-
ton Of the crop when the harvest
closed. The figures indicate in q
measure an excess compared with the
average date of reports-however,
the grain is not threshed ont to any
considerable extent, so the October
returns must be had before an esti-
mate of the aggregate wheat produc-
ton of the year can be made.

he is driven to hunt for himself. He
then usually returns inland and oc-
casionally destroys great numbers
ofyoung pigs and lambs. AT other
times he contents himself with fowl
and ducks and geese, and gulls fall
victims to his Unsuitable appetite"
Having thus briefly given a gener-
al synopsis Of the different kinds of
this grand family of noble birds, it
might be well to describe more famil-
lar varieties-to descend from noble
eagles to useful fowls-and here
again quote from the same authori-
ty. Mr.. Frost says:
"The domestic fowls are too we'll
known to need much description.
There are many varieties. The
Game Fowl was formerly in great
request for the cruel sport of cock
fighting, an amusement which, al
though happily now almost extinct,
was in great vogue but a few years
since"
"The Bantam is q very little bird
indeed, but exceedingly courageous,
and does not hesitate to attack tur-
key or such large birds with most
amusing pompousness of manner.
Some Bantams have their legs thick
ly covered with feathers down to
their very toes"
"The Dorkling Fowl is a large and
delicate species. The chief peculiar
ity in this species is the double hind
toe, so that it has five toes instead of
four"
"The Malay Fowl though an awk-
ward, bony, leggy, cowardly bird,
wandering about for the first six
months Of its existence with scarce
ly feather to cover it's nakedness,
is yet not so bad a fowl as it has
been represented to be; but unless
they are of pure breed, their flesh
will be found coarse and stringy."
l could go on and describe more
varieties Of fowls and birds had l
time and space, and have only pre-
sented those varieties having anala-
gous habits, forms, &C., with numer-
Gus specimens of the mammalia spe-
cies indigenous to this climate and
found in the limits of Grant County.

And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away that froWn;
Since life is of perplexing,
II is the wisest plan
To bear all trials braveiy.
And smile wheue er you can
Why should you dread tomorrow,
And thus spoil your today
For when you borrow trouble
You always have 10 pay;
II is a good old maxim,
Which should be often preached
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached
You might be spared much signing,

Tho thought, that good and evil
Are always here combined.
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from your casket
That precious jewel-IIealth
And Though you're strong and sturdy
You may have an empty purse
(And earth has many trials
Which ! consider worse y
But whether JOY or sorrow
Pill up your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter

so doing they are guilty of a great
crime against liberty and humanity
against the people of Germany as
" ell as against France. The address
tells the people of France that the
English people have demanded and
will not cease to demand the recog-
milton # the Republic in France un-
til they shall have wrung compli-
ance to their will from a vacillating
and cowardly Ministry.
The Marseillese was sung with tire
mendous effect and the resolutions
OF the meeting were wholly friendly
to the German people, but very bit
ter against the German Princes, as
one of the resolutions expressed it,
who abuse the confidence of Ger
many as well as against the not less
German Princes who thwart the free
dom Of England. The secretary of
the meeting announced the number
of addresses in favor of peace, now
circulated among the working classes
in England, reached nearly 100000
and they have already received the
adhesion of nearly 100000 of the
working men. 1t was repeatedly
declared that the working men of
England honored the people of Ger
many for their patriotism in repelling
the assault Of the Napoleonic dynas-
ty upon their country, but they i'm
plored them not to suffer themselves
to be led by their own passions into
q protracted conflict with another
great people by whom that dynasty
had been repudiated. Two domin-
ant ideas of the demonstration were
that the war must cease, and that
the Republic must be sustained.
The demonstration increased contin-
ually in numbers and in enthusiasm,
and just before the adjournment the
excitement was carried 10 fever
heat by the arrival of another pro-
cession from Mile End, bearing be-
tween tho flags of France and the
United States a huge banner sur
mounted by cap of liberty, inscrib-
ed in golden letters with the single
word "Republic." 1t is universally
admitted that no such demonstration
had ever been seen in London. 1t
is considered by thinking men to be
the beginning of a political change
for which the government of Mr..
Gladstone has fully prepared the
way, and by which it will be swept |
out of power, if it fails to accept and |
TO assist. 1t is announced that the
National Association of Working
men had been formerly in the inter-
ests of European peace, but that an
agitation in favor of arbitration in
stead of war, would be begun and
carried on throughout England, and |
that demonstrations would be pre-
pared before the assembling of Par
Lament TO which Parliament and the
Government would be compelled to
give heed.

it was first the duty of the govern
