Chief Clerk of the Senate.

DR.. G. D. WILDER, Of Mineral Point, has
been announced as candidate for CHIEF
Clerk of the Senate To our notion this
is the best announcement that has yet
been made. AS to the Dr's ability to fill
the position with honor to himself and to
his party. no one Of bis many friends for
a moment doubts. He is well known to
be one of the ablest and strongest men OF
our county. and one of the far seeing men
of the age. His record as a Republican is
just what it should be, and he is compe-
tent in every respect to fill any position
The Senate would do this part of the polit
icsl vineyard untold good if they were to
secure the services of DR.. Geo. d. WILDER.

County Board and Compromise.

In the Mineral Point Tribune of last
week, appeared an editorial in which the
ltor of that sheet thinks it would have
been the better part of wisdom had the
County Board at its last session adopted
The resolution made by Mr.. Reese. viz
That a committee Of three, consisting Of
Messrs. Gundry, Hoskins and Meigs, be
appointed to wait on the bond holders of
the Iowa County Bonds with a view
to Q settlement or compromise.
With oil due respect to all the movers
and upholders of any proposition leading to
q settle ment of the difficulties ofour county,
We must say we fail to see any tenehi
arising from any such arrangements
1.-THE county had never known anythine
in regard to the minds Of the Bond holders
in this matter or if it were some new
thing this committee had to lay before
the bond holders: or if the board or
any part of it had ever received any auth
ority from their constituents to make any
proposition in regard to O settlement,
perhaps it would have been well to con
slider the measure The bond holders
know already all that any C, mmittes
could tell them. They are fully aware
that tho County is a unit in the deter
nation not to pay the demand" They
have been repeatedly told so in unmistake-
able language. They know if we pay the
bonds it will be from sheer compulsion;
that as far as the desire to pay the bonds
il concerned, is to-day what it ever ha
been, and that the county has, long ago,
fully resolved to fight this thing out
TO the bitter end All these things they
know equally as well as we do.
Iowa County has nothing whatever to
offer to the bond holders They are the
proper parties to make offers if any are
made They know the location of lows
County and they know we are generally
at home Let them come to us instead OF
us going to them. And if they think
proper to make us an offer it will then be
our business to attend to the matter
and see what can be done But before
We enter into any such arrangement W.
should first learn what those bonds ar
worth. Before we krow this, how cal
we offer a compromise or settlement
Would the committee be authorized t.
settle for Is or so cents on the dollar, il
the bonds are only worth % cent
on the dollar -? Or would they be author
lied to offer any other compromise Width
er the County at large were willing or not
Could anything be done to tighten oul
fearful expenses, it would be we'll If a
committee of three could be invested
with the same power our Attorneys have
and they could do the same business 70
half the money, it would certainly be wis
dom to adopt such course. But nothing
of that kind has been intmated. In al
probability the visit of the committee
would come to naught, and if so, W
should be obliged to bear an additional ex
pensc that we can net we'll afford. Rath
err then increase our expenses, we had bet
ter curtail them. In our opinion, ou
County board has done the best tina
could be done under the circumstances
and in doing as they have, they have gon
according to the known wishes of ina
ority of their constituents.

A STUDENTS JoKE.-EbenezerS Sweat of Bruins
wick, is a provision dealer. He has been a
"meat man. in Brunswick for the last half CEN
tury, and probably furnished Bowdoin students
tougher meat and harder swearing than they
eyer experienced in after life Ebenezer is
c)nsiderab BILE of wag, but a story is told in
Brunswick which shows that at least on one
occasion he was outwittid.
A student called into his market one morn
ing, and seeing large tub full off eggs on the
floor. eyd it very wisely for some moments,
and thus accosted Sweat:
81 will wager twenty-five cents that | can
lump into that tub and not break an egg"
"You can't do it," replied Sweat.
"I'll stake twenty five cents can, respond
ed the student.
.'Well, here's 25," continued Sweat "put up
your money"
The money was accordingly solemnly put
into the hands of third party, and the stu
dent prepared for the difficult encounter. In a
moment he made leap and the next moment
lie tell crash into the tub of eggs and rested
his feet on the bottom, breaking nearly all the
eggs in the tub.
"There," exclaimed Sweat, in fury of de-
light. "you've lost I knew you couldn't do it,
not thinking in his delight of winning, of any
thing but that.
well replied the student as he coolly turn
ed and went out of the market, "there's youl

1t was a long time before Ebenezer recovered
from the effects of that joke.

Coal PIr0 on FIRE FOR ONE HUNDRED YEARS.
One of the most curious phenomena in con-
necton with coal mining is exhibited at the
Bank Colliery, in England, near Rotterdam,
the property of Earl Fitzwilliam. This pit
caught fire one hundred years ago, and all the
efforts of the workmen at the time, and subse-
quently, have been quite Intellectual to ex-
tinguish it. 4 short time ago twas ascertained
| that the flames were approaching the bottom
of the shaft, and it was then resolved, if posi-
bic, to stay their progress, so that they might
not extend to other parts of the workings. At
length the superintendent the colieres, Mr..
T. Cooper, conceived the idea of building a
wall to shut in the fire, and in order TO ascer-
tain the best site for this wall, several of the
officials crept on their hands and knees,
through the dense sitting smoke, as far as
possible into the workings. Their efforts were
successful, and wall is now completed nearly
1000 yards in length, and varying from Q
inches to ; #. in thickness. At distances vary
ing from 30 to 50 yards metal piPos have been
inserted in this wall, which are securely
plugged at the end, so that at any time, by re-
moving the plugs, the state of the air on the
side of the fire, and even the position of the
fire itself can be ascertained. So intense is the
heat arising from this fire that people possess
ing gardens above the colliery declare that the
growth of the plants is materially effected, and
that they are enabled to obtain two and three
crops every ear.--Loadon Nelcs.
