State superintendent.

The dea tn of A. j. Craig left vacancy
in the Office of Superintendent of Public
Instruction, which the Governor filled by
the appointment of Rev. Samuel Fallows,
of Milwaukee. Mr.. Fallows has long been
connected with the educational interests OF
the State, and as he was q prominent can.
didate for that Office before the last Repub-
ldan State Convention, his appointment
was very proper, and appeared to give gen.
eral satisfaction throughout the State. AT
the time it was generally thought, and MIR.
Fallows so understood it, that he was ap-
pointed for the unexpired term of Mr..
Craig; but an election occurring in the
mean time, it was decided that the appoint
ment only held good until person was
elected and qualified. and that the election
of State Superintendent would have to
be ordered. The State Central Commit
tee. in accordance with established usage,
to save the expense and trouble of holding
a State CONVENTION, took the responsibility
of naming candidate for the Republicans,
and have very properly made choice Of
Rev. Samuel Fallows, and he has signifed
his acceptance.
"Mr. Fallows is man in the prime of
life, an excellent scholar, and a pleasing
speaker, has practical knowledge of the
business Of teaching, and is familiar with
our school system and the educational
wants of the State. lie is thoroughly
identified with our state interests and in
stitutions, having graduated at the State
University, and ever since been resident
of the State. His heart is in the work be-
fore him, and we believe that if elected, as
he no doubt will be, he will prove one of
the most efficient Superintendent the
State has ever had"

ew- The Official Returns from the late
election in Maine are made public, and are
as follows: For Governor, Perham, Re
publican, received 54,051 votes; Roberts
Democrat, 45,l77; Perham's majority is,
therefore, 1874. The aggregate Rcpub-
lican majority on the congressional vote is
between 10000 and 1900. Considering
that this is larger majority by over 1000
than Chamberlin had last year over both
of his competitors, there is small comfort
for the Democracy. The aggregate repub-
lican majority on congressman is about
the same as that of Gov. Chamberlain last
fall over his Democratic competitor. The
returns, therefore, show little change in
the political status Of the voters of the
Pine Tree State.

The honest, sensible voters of the county,
cannot be led by unprincipled wire-work-
ing politicians, it therefore behooves these
voters to come out and express through
their delegates at the county convention
what their wishes are and who they will
support for Office. If this be done in ev-
ery town and election precinct in the
county. we can cleo. our entire ticket by
from three to five hundred majority.

1'he late Gov. Henry Dodge.
MIR. KNOWLES BUST.

1t will be generally remembered by our
citizens that Mr. E. P. Knowles, of James
vile, was appointed by the last Legisla-
tnrs to make marble bust of our pioneer
Govener, the late Henry Dodge. The mod
Ell for this bust, we learn from the Burling
ton Gazette, is completed and is proncunc.
ed by those who were most intimate with
the General, including many members of
his family, and among others, his son Gen.
A. G. Dodge, a very perfect model, and
reflects great credit on the promising
young sculptor Mr. Knowles, in fact those
who have seen it and are considered judges
pronounce itequal to anything by Powers
or Winnie Ream.
We take the liberty ofinserting the fol
lowing brief sketch of Gen. Dodge's, public
services, which accompanies the notice Of
the model in the, Gazette:
"Governor Henry Dodge was native Of
Indiana. and an emigrant to Missouri
while yet the tri-colored flag proclaimed
the dominion of France over all this vast
region. He served with distinction in the
war of 1912, and was appointed a Brigadier
General by President Madison. He acted
conspicuous part in the war against the
Wipnebago Indians in 1927, and won ad-
ditional laurels in the Black Hawk war
In 1882. lie was subsequently appointed
Colonel of the first Regiment Of United
States dragons Of the regular army. In
this honorable capacity, he headed several
long and successful expeditions to the
Rocky Mountains, and along the boundary
Of Mexico. In his social intercourse he
was the soul of honor, and in action, the
incarnation of valor. Many of his subor-
dinate offices have since achieved world
wide fame in our national armies. Lieu.
tenant Colonel Kearney, and Major Mason
became Generals in the Mexican war.
Captains Sumner, Hunter and ST. George
Cook rose to the rank of major generals in
orr late civil war. Jefferson Davis, who
was the adjutant, ranked as colonel in
the Mexican war, and became president of
the rebal confederacy. In 1886, General
Dodge was appointed governor of Wiscon-
sin by the immortal Andrew jackson, and
continued to hold that position by reap.
pointment for eight years. He was twice
elected delegate to congress from the terri
tory, and was twice chosen United States
senator after the admission of the state in
to the union.
From 1886 to 1888, Iowa formed part
OF Wisconsin, with Burlington as tie seat
OF government. During the two sessions of
the legislature held here in 1887 and 1888,
ueaerai Dodge was resident of our city,
ana towards the close of his long and event
iul lie, passed much of his time here.
VI his rare social virtues and generous
hearted hospitality we need not speak, as
'hey are too well remembered by our ear
nest settler and are too accurately exempli-
nea In the character of his son, Gen. A.
y. Dooge, now one Of our most highly
respected citizens"

THE DEADYEAR.

The ivy over-shines the wall.
Her purple poison berries shed:
Ash-clusters blacken to their fan:
The year is dead!
feek Of amber, in the cloud
mat swathes the east, is dawn and light
And day, that gloom and mist enshroud.
Makes welcome night.
As one who, seeing life depart.
POnders the wonder Of our lives.
30, at the dead years feet, my heart
Strange thought7rsyiyes.
I think Of one, blossom set
ShlnlHg amid the SHOWS Of years;
Sweet in remembrance, in regret.
Even In tears.
] see the bright rose Of her face
Flushed with the tender flush Of youth,
And murmur, amorous Of its grace,
"Blue eyes for truth"
Blue Syes-the summer sky less blue
Ihey were my rapture, my despair;
knew them bright, and left them true,
Blue eyes that were,
Again watch the cloud that lends
The future all its rainbow dyes:
Again its veil the Phantom rends,
And rapture flies
The anguish Of each winter day
Comes back into my heart anew;
The charms death could not steal away
Once more view.
And in the wailing Of the winds,
The moan Of branches swaying bare,
Again my soul re-echoed finds
LIS own despair.
The ivy sver-shines the wall,
Ths berries Of the ash are shed;
Under the holly's corOnal
The year lies dead

Rotation Of Crops.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Rotation Of Crops
Under the old system of cultivation a
the South, where newly cleared field a
once took the place of one that was Won
out, and where the idea of manuring was
almost entirely ignored, il is not surpris
ing that the manner in which crops sue
Ceeded each other, was determined almost
wholly by convenience. At present,
however, when heavy manLring, thorough
culture, and bringing land to It's greatest
productive capacity, is the order of the
day, it is eminently fit and proper, says
the Southern CUihUutOT, that the subject
of rotation of crops, should seriously en-
gage the attention Of our farmers Ger
tain advantages from changing crops on
the same land from year to year, are OBJ
yieus to every One---as for instance, SOW
iUg down in small grain after clean cul-
ture, protects the land from washing, and
restores in part the vegetable matter eX-
hausted by cIopplowed and hoed during
the summer OF on the other hand, where
land has been sown continuously
for several years, crop un-
der the plow and hoe, destroys pestiferous
weeds like cookie Besides these Incl
dental effects, however, there are other
circumstance connected with the pro-
ductice capacity % land which are
worthy of consideration.
If all plants had the same habits OF
growth, and took from the soil the same
ingredients in 'he same proportions, then,
aside from the considerations already men
toned, it would probably make little DIFF
ference if the same crop was cultivated
on the same field from year to year. Bat
the supposition made Is not true. Many
weeds thrive on land which will not sus-
tain our cultivated plants; q fine growth
of rag-wecd often follows miserable
crop Of wLeat-com grows better after
cotton than after corn, etc, etc. These
are the fact,-what is the explanation,
The Old theory was, that plants discharged
from their roots a kindof eNcrelncntitious
matter, which, whilst injurious to the
plant that eXcrcted II, was not So TO other
plants Thj. is not, however supported
