49, The candles burn in Buddhist TEN
pie as in Catholic cathedral
49, The great idea of Buddhism, like
that which was 50 active during the first
thousand wears of Catholicism, is to ex-
tinguish fhood by worship, prayer pen
ance meditation and asceticlsm. By
contemplation on divine things, the
Buddhisativas can reach the twenty
eight heaven, as by an opposite course
men can descend to the twenty ight
hell
The main difference between the Bud
dhist and the Catholic system is that the
former has Lot been devoted to proselytism
while the latter has kept enterprise alive
by its heroic efforts, both peaceful, and
bloody to propigate the faith.
Buddhism has 450,000,000 believers,
while Catholicism has about 100, 100000
90 Buddhist, like Catholicism, is a
democratic re igion- that is, there is no
distinction of classes in it's worship, and

S exact that he Chinese would sacrifice
very little besides prejudice and pride in

direction, since the Catholics will provide

vantage of the broad education of Europe

the First Female Grand Jury IN the World IN
Session at Laramie City, wyoming Territory
Judge H0Wes' Charge. -
LARAMIE CRY, W. T., March

Judge HOWes' Charge.
LARAMIE CRY, W. T., March z.
The judiciary of Wyoming sustains the
right OF women to serve assgrand jurors.
All the ladies drawn as grand Jurors were
present at II in the morning. A motion
made to squash the panel was not sustain
ed. AT II So the first panel of female
grand Jurors In the world was sworn
None asked to be excused. A lady bail
III was appointed. Judge Howes' charge
was as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:
1t is a novelty to see, as we do to-day,
ladies summoned to serve as jurors. The
extension of political rights and franchise
to women is subject that is agitating
the whole country. have
ever taken an active part
IL the discussion, but have long
seen that woman was victim to vices, cri-
mes and immortality, with no power to
protector defend herself from these evils
have long felt that such powers of pro
lection should be conferred upon woman,
and 1t has fallen to our lot, here, to act as
pioneers i'll this movement, and to test
the question. The eyes of the world are
to- day fixed upon this jury of Albany
county. There is not the slightest impro-
priety IN any lady occupying the posi-
ton, and | wish to assure you that the
fullest protection Of the court shall be
accorded to you. It would be 8 most
shameful scandal that in our temple of
justice in our courts of law, anything
should be permitted which the most SEN
sltlVe lady might not hear pith propriety
and witness; and here let me add that it
will be sorry day for any man who shall
SO far forget the courtesies due and paid
~ every American gentleman to every
Ameri' an lady, as to even by a word or
act endeayor to deter you from the exer-
else of those rights with which the law
has invested you. / will conclude with
the remark that this is question for you
to decide for yourself No man has any
righ- to interfere. It seems proper for
women to sit upon grand juries, which
will give them the best possible oppor-
tnnities to aid in suppressing the dens Of
infamy which curse the country. shall
be glad Of your assistance in the accom-
plishment of this object. l do not make
these remarks from any distrust of the
gentlemen. On the contrary, | am ex-
ceedingly pleased and gratihed with the
indications of intelligence, love of law
and good order, and gentlemanly deport-
ment which see manifested. l will now
listen to any reasons which any jurors
make for being excused

National and state elections.

Congress at its last session passed tht
tollowlng act:
BE 1t enacted By the Senate and House q
| hepreSe,etGt!?oeS U The United States q
| America IN Congress assembled, That the
electors Of President and Vice President
shall be appointed in each state on the
End Tuesday OF October in the year III
which they are to be appointed, and the
Representatives in Congress shall be cleo
ted In each State on the 2nd Tuesday OF
October preceding which they
are to take their seats
and SO much of the law relative to
the election of a President and Vice Pres
ident Of the Uni ed States, and declaring
tue officer who shall act as President in
case of vacancies in the Office, both Of
President and Vice President, approved
March 18TH 1893, and of the act TO estab-
lish uniform time for holding elections
FOR electors of President and Vice Presi
Client in all the States of the Union, APP
proved January 27th, 1916, as is incor
sisJent with this act, is hereby repealed
It will be seen that there is to be an
election for Representatives FIR Congress
on the 2Ud Tuesday of October every two
years on the even numbered years. 1t
will also be seen that the electors of Pres
ident and Vice President are to be APP
pointed IN each State on the 2nd Tues
day Of October in the year in which they
are to be appointed. We believe but
few Of the States hold elections on the
End Tuesday of October. Wisconsin and
many other States hold their State cleo
tions on the Tuesday after the list Mon
day Of November It is question for
the people ofthis State, through the Leg
islaturc, to decide whether The State
election Shall be held on the same day
and at the same place with the National
election. 1t seems to us that we have
elections enough now, if not too many,
and that it would be best to amend the
law so as to hold the State and National
on the same day and at the same
place.

HI Costs More Than asread.
From the New York Post

L
A few days ago policeman remarked
"There are three glasses of liquor drank
in this city for each loaf of bread that i:
eaten"
Suppose this true; then for each loaf OF
brad, at ten cents, there is paid fol
drinks thirty cents; or three times as mach
for liquor as for bread!
It if estimated that four barrels of -four
will supply family of five persons with
bread for year. A barrel Of -four will
make 264 pounds of bread, and the four
barrels will give 1866 pounds At six
cents per pound this is $15s4 for each
barrel OF flour, or $62.36 for the four bar,
rels IL this estimate is too low, take
five barrels Of our for each family of five
persons, and The value of bread at six
cents pound IS 1920 year.
The $4,000 families of five persons
each, constituting the population of the
city, consume at this rate bread to the
value ST $14,414 400 year.
There are in this city at least four
thousand places where intoxicating lio
uors arc sold The number in New York
and Brooklyon in 1866 was 9,27O.
If these receive, on an average, $40 a
day each, that is 48,8oo,0O0 year !; or at
SIS day each, it is $21, 100000 year
1t is true some of the drinking houses are
mere holes in the WALL" but others OF
them are palaces. Some of them take in
only few dollars a day, while large
numbers of others take in hundreds OF
dollars.
But it is not at the drinking houses, at
public bars, where all the Intoxicating
liquors are consumed. At eating houses
at clubs, and at the hotels, are expended
large sums for wine and strong spirits
Thus the use OF strong drink counts up
very fast, as against bread

HE County superintendent.


This question has been asked many
times by district officers, teachers and
patrons who have seen nothing Of him
during the past term of school.
AS far as consistent with our ideas of
propriety we will reply. It is not tor, us
to say how much, or how little has been
accomplished, but we are prepared to ac-
count for the amount of labor performt d.
We did not enter upon the duties of the
office until Jan. 1st In other words, we
had nothing to do with the schools of the
County, until half the winters term had
expired Our statement, therefore, reach
es back only to date mentioned.
Since that time, 80 far as practicable,
We have devoted our whole time to the
schools and school interests of the county.
We have been to every school house In
the towns of Somers, Pleasant Prairie,
Paris, Bristol, Wheatland and to some
others. In two or three instances school
was not IN session at the time Of visi' a.
tion. We have generally remained with
each school a half
day, and have invariably at
tempted to make our visits profitable.
We have not been able to visit all the
schools in the limited time at our dispo-
sel-but believe we have done as much
work as any man could have done in our
position.
We do not feel disposed to make prom
ises for the future. We are conscious that
we have the good of our public schools al
heart. We believe our present system
Of free schools to be the best in the
world, and cannot under any circumstan-
ces yield to, or compromise with its oppo-
nents. It may be proper to state for the
benefit of interested parties that in the
discharge of our official duties we shall
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1870-03-10

keep in mind the fact that our work is
for the good Of the schools, and not for
the personal preferment or interest of
teachers or friends.
We shall do what seems to us to he
right and just, in all matters pertaining
to the schools under our supervision, and
the licensing of teachers for those schools
We shall work to the be t of our ability
for the advancement Of the schools OF
Kenosha Co., to the end
that they shall rank in
future as they have in the past, inferior
to none in the state

To Our district School Board.
(No. 4

GENTLEMEN This is the last letter I
sholl publicly address to you at present,
for the reasons that our term of school
is nearly closed, and my former letters
have had very little appreciate effect.
1t was not expected that much good
would come OF this series of letters, for
when a School District Board neglects
to perform known duties and remedy
evils known to exist, through lack of in
terest, or fear of offending Mr.. or Mrs
Grundy, the teacher or somebody else, it
is quite improbable that an appeal in
person or through the press will accom-
plish any great change. But it was
hoped that a little good might be done,
and in this hope I have written. The
seed have sown has apparently fallen in
stony ground.
The discipline of the school, through
the refractory disposition of one or tive
urchins, remains unsatisfactory, and, so
far as is known to the patrons Of the
school, no effort has been made on your
part to effect change.
The variety Of text books has subjected
u to great loss, in that the time Of the
teacher has been emplnyed in conducting
a nultip lefty of classes and thus he has
been deprived Of opportunity for expfa-
,,t;,,,. o,,1 or.,I sn,4,no+.or co <,r,o,, :. Il
t. the greatest progress of his pupils
ard noefort has baen made by you to
remedy this evil.
The poker continues to smoke beneath
the stove daily, and ashes are strown and
blown about the yard and carried inro
til house upon the feet of. children the
s. me as before your attention was called
to these matters
The floor of the school room is literal
Iy covered with barks, chips, and sticks
OF wood, for the simple reason that you
have not provideda wood box, which you
m ght have done at an expense Of fifty
cents.
What grand opportunity our teacher
has had for intoxicating lessons oftidiness,
cleanliness and taste, in that dingy,
dirty, implanted, unpapered, pictureless
wood-box; facetiously called the district
school house
Gentlemen, feel that any further APP
peal to you is useless. presme your in
tentions are good but Intentions are not
what is wanted. Intentions will never
procure suitable furniture for the school
house, never establish an uniformity of
text books, never assist in the discipline
and governing of the school, never paint
and paper the school house, and never
hang pictures there.
Much might be said with regard to the
use and necessity of making school
house pleasant and attractive: but in
view of the past, it seems to be snperf1u-
Gus.
am, therefore, in my final letter, obi
ged to sign myself as disappointed and
somewhat indignant

Communication

To the Editor Of the "St. CrOiX Avis"
Mr.. w. H. MCKAY, late of the United
States, gave his three grand vocal Concerts
on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday
evenings, at the spacious Hall Of Christian
sted's Burgher School. A respectable au-
dience witnessed the performances of Mr..
Mckay and his company, and manifested
great satisfaction at the songs and different
burleSque scenes, which were executed with
much taste, especially by the young ladies.
We particularly noticed a charming Duet
"Meet me by Moonlight" which Miss
Joseph and Mr.. Mckay executed exceed
inglY well. The Amateurs who assisted
gave general satisfaction, and certainly
showed a great deal of good will. We
hope that Mr.. Mckay will satisfy the gen.
eral desire which has been manifested by
many of the public, and give on Saturday
evening a Farewell Performance, hoping a
large concourse will patronize this his last;
as we understand that he has a special in
v~itation for West End.

FIRE-ALMosT.--A An alarm of fire on
Wednesday evening of last week caused
the steam engine to be snatohcd upthe
hill-to the Chestnut street cistern in
short order, but before its services were
called into requisition the alarm had
subsidized, the incipient fire having been
extinguisledby hand. 1t proved to be
in the basement ofSouth School House,
where a large pile ofshayings and 9TH
er kindling-stuff had been deposited by
the ianitor for use during Geld weather.
A number of halfburned matches found
on the spot showed that-some one had
made the attempt to fire the building by
throwing lighted matches through a
creyicei In the wall of the building upon
this pile of combustibles. Some Of these
had reached their mark, and the rubbish
was in a bright blaze&hich was discov-
cred before ithad obtained dangerous
Iheadway. We are told that the attcn-
tion of Mr.. Plinke, who, resides in that
vicinity, was drawn to the fire by see
ing a man running from the building
and hearing from him the cry Of fire at
the same time. aaq

The Ro,ating Harre,v. : :.


This new implement, whiehis rnanu-'
featured at the works of the Hooking
Valley Manufacturing CO. in this city,
was tested in the view of large number
Of spectators on Saturday last. It was
employed in reducing to proper shape
the newly hauled dirt upon the lot north
west corner Of the public square. This
was mostly clay, and In hard baked
Jumps almost beyond the power of any
machine to pulverizc. Itwas ncyerthc-
less plain to see that hlsharrow was cf-
fcctivcin its work, far beyond the ordi-
nary harrow in use. Its rotating mo-.
ton gives the soil sucha stirringi in once
passing overit, as wouidhafdly be efiect+
ed, it seems to lis, in dragging the COM
monharrow over it two or three times.
The only objection we heard offered,
was an apparent heaylness ofdraft, COM
pared with that Of the common harrow,
But we should think the far greater a.
mount ofwork accomplished by 1t would
more than compensate for the slight in
crease in weight Of draft-and such, we
think, will be the verdict of farmers gen.
orally.
