Edto- Pilot:
Nothing has tra-spired within the last
two weeks to disturb the qufetule of our
peaceful town. Everything wears 4 very
dull, monotonous aspect, and what makes 1t
still worse for lovers of excitement and variety
the probability is that the situation will re-
main unchanged Old folks arc surprised at
the mastery inactivity Of the youngcr por-
ton of the community, and long for return
of their youthful vigor. When they contrast
what they were with tho present degcneracy
of the rising generation they are unable to
account for the anomaly, and can only bit
terly bewail the change. And as they think
of their younger days, and call up the leas-
ant "reminiscences of childhood, and as they
speak glowingly and eloquently Of their
achievements in the days ''long gone by"
and of their different games and sports in
which they participated, we cannot help
thinking Of Goldsmiths Deserted Village,
and saying with him
Sweet was the sound when at the evenings
close
Up yoHuer NH inc Nlliasre HiuiHui i"oe-
A person unaccustomed to hearing those
tales, or unacquainted with popularity old
folks have of stretching facts" would ma
turally come to the conclusion that there
were giants in those days. With the old
folks themselves those retrospective views
seem to be conducive to melancholy thoughts;
to escape which. they are in the habit Of en-
sconcing themselves behind n cloud Of smoke,
in which position. if seen, serious doubts might
be entertained that they were not making
strenuous efforts to 'snutfie off this mortal
COLL" but they quickly disS buse you of those
thoughts by emerging from their seemingly
dangerous position merrier, but no better
people.
There is a class of people here who a.e de-
termined, come what may, to enjoy thero
selves. Those people are living refutation
of Burns assertion that MAN was made to
mourn and go in" to prove on every avail
able occasion that man was made to smile
They find in a smiling establishment a
panacea for all the ellis that flesh is heir to-
When oppressed with ennm, or disguised with
the "dull routine of business they fly to one
of these establishments and there by the am
bition of certain fluid singular transforma-
ton is effected in their whole being, and all
their trials and tribulations are forgotten in
their ecstatic delight at the change. When in
this condition, they are very DESTROYS Of living
in close intimacy with Mother Earth; this is
accomplished by laying in a recumbent posi-
ton to the no small detriment of certain por-
tions of their wardrobe. Those people are
very loving, and are very demonstrative in
their affection for telegraph posts.
4 large number of books have just been re-
ceived by the Library Association: among
them are Dickens complete and SCOTS

Editor Pilot:
Your Two Rivers correspondent in his very
interesting letter Of last week, inquiries, Are
there no candidates in ManitowoeH With
your permission l would answer: Yes, fer
a rs7y few. Candidates being directly in our
line, we shall be prepared to do fall trale
commensurate with the resources and impor-
lance of our bur2n; and our patrons in tie
surrounding towns may feel assured that orl
supply will be fully adequate tie the demand
Yet we will not be unreasonable; whatever
faults lie gently on US, our sister towns GER
tainly hot charge US with rapacity in
monop olizing official spoil.. Our past course
is q sufficient guaranty of our moderation in
the future ''We know our rights and know
ing dare maintain but our demand will be
tempted with wisdom and magnanimity; and
in the coming conventions tie proportion
which Manitowoc candidates will bear to the
whole number Of Office seekers will not, in all
probability, exceed the ratio Of to times 8.
In the Republican convention Manitowoc may
POSSIBLY be more ambitious but the prudence
of her Democratic aspirants will verify the
accuracy of these figures. Manitowoc is not
the Democratic banner-town Of the coun-
ty; this honor she must gracefully yield to
some moro fortunate community; and con-
scious of her numerical insignifcance in the
great Democratic phalanx, she will unprc-
tcndingly claim only the following Offices, viz:
Senator, for which she offers candidates;
Sheriff, candidate; Clerk of the Board 8
candidates; Treasurer, candidates; Regis
ter. candidate; District Attorney, , eandi-
dates; and Co. Surveyor, l candidate. More
than this she does not ask, and will not &C.
ccpt; generously insisting that the remaining
Offices shall be at the disposal Of the other II
towns. Should there be any dearth of office
seekers in these towns, we may be prevailed
upon to furnish coroner, and member Of as
sombly for the Third District; but these latter
emoluments we do not covet. Our inherent
modesty and complying disposition may not
permit us to refuse them if urgently per-
suaded, but we do not yearn for them and
shall unanimously support the ticket even
though they be not forced upon us. 1t may
seem strange that we should be content with
so few favors, our vote on the railroad propo-
stion really emitting us to further distinc-
ton but we are solicitors for the success of
the ticket, AMI do not ask more than our just
portion. We deprecate boiling, and wish to
see an equitable arrangement, satisfactory to
the entire Democratic constituency of the
countv Trn1y Mr. Editor our forbearance
and moderation are marvellous~a triumph Of
the spirit over the flesh. Thine,
MODEsTUs.

CONTRACTS SEcURED.-Alr. David Smoke.
Of Manitowoc, has secured the contract for
building the Sheboygan harbor. He also has
the contract for finishing Manitowoc harbor
with the Sl0,0 900 recently appropriated by
Congress.
The above statement, from the Milwaukee
Henanei, is incorrect. Instead of Mr.. Smoke
having secured the contract for Sheboygen,
r. NJ Knapp, Of this city, has secured that
contract, Also the contract for Racine and
henosha. The appropriations for each Of
these places Is rs follows: Sheboygan S15,-

We, perhaps, can enlighten the Journal
editor on this subject by stating that Messrs
Smoke and Knapp together have the contract
for improving the harbor at Sheboygan (and
which harbor We Will here add is sadly in

finishing the harbor at this place with the
