Advice to Young Men.

President Porter, of Yale, gave the
following advice TO the students of
that institution the other day !:
Young men, you are the architects
of your own fortunes. Rely upon
your own strength of body and soul.
Take for your star, selt-reliance, faith,
honesty and industry. Inscribe on
your banner, Luck is fool, pluck is
a hero Don't take too much advice
keep at your helm and steer your
own ship, and remember that the
great art of commanding, is to take
fair share of the work. Don't prac-
tlce too much humanity. Think
well of yourself. Strike out. AS
sumo your own position. Pat pota-
toes in cart, over a rough road,
and small ones go to the bottom.
Rise above the envious and Jealous.
Fire above the mark you intend TO
hit. Energy, invincibe determina-
ton with a right motive, are the
levers that move the world. Don't
drink. Don't chew. Don't smoke.
Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't
read novels. Don't marry until you
can support wife. Be. in earnest.
BE selt-reliant. Be generous. Read
the papers. Advertise your business.
Make money, and do good with it.
Love your God and feIlow-men.
Love truth and virtue. Love your
country and obey its laws" If this
advice is implicitly followed by the
young men of the country, the mill
enium is near at hand.

The Speakership.

Now that the fruits of the election
are known, and the fact is settled
that the next Assembly is Republic.
an and will elect Republican Speak.
or, the merits of different men are be.
ing discussed by the press of the
State for the honors of that body,
Among those likely to be formidable
candidates for that position we rec
onize Hon. REQ. G.. Swain of Sank Co.
Hon. Alexander Graham of james.
vile, and Hon Daniel Hall of Water
town.
Mr.. Swain has thrice in succession
represented his district in the AS
sembly, ID able, popular and possesses
all the qualifications for good pr g.
siding officer. And, too, he comes
from among the farmers whom u
majority of the members is composed
and such generally have "fellow
feeling" for one of their class. The
Assembly would do we'll to elect
him.
Mr.. Hall was popular member of
the last Assembly, and has been re-
turned by an overwhelming majority
in a largely democratic district. He
is an able lawyer, and a good par
Humanitarian. He will doubtless have
many warm supporters for the Speak
ership.
Mr.. Graham is an old legislator,
and probably no man in the next As.
sembly has had more legislative ex,
perience than he, unless it be Judge
Barron of Polk. Mr.. Graham is very
popular with his own people and has
been reelected by a decided MAORI.

The following from the Chicago
Journal will correct the impression
which is quite prevalent that under
law of the last Congress soldiers
time Of service could be deducted
from the five years required to per-
feet title to lands entered. The
Journal says:
Soon after the fire, we received a
letter inquiring if a soldiers time
could be deducted from the time re-
quired to perfect title under the
presumption act of Congress. Such
bill passed the House. Its fate in
the Senate we could not recall, and
all our books and files Of reference
had been destroyed. We made inqui
ry of lawyer claiming to be special
ly we'll posted on such SUBJECTS, who
said the bill passed and became q
law. Others confirmed his state
ment, which vas published. Since
then our library has been so far
restored that we are able to look this
point up, and we find that no such
law figures in the list Of acts passed
at the last session of the Forty-first
Congress or the first session Of the
Forty.second. Without much doubt
the measure will be pushed clear
through at the next, or long session

The Presidents Message.

NEW YORK, Nov. q.
A Herald dispatch from Washing-
ton says that the leading feature of
the Presidents message will be the
internal taxation, tariff, finances,
Washington Treaty, Indian and Ku-
klux Disturbances South. 1t is under
stood that the message will recom-
mend the abolition of all internal
taxes except on spirits, malt liquors,
tobacco, in every form, stamps, and
general recommendation is made
for the revision of the tariff, although
no articles are specified for the reduc.
ton or abolition of duty. 1t is how
ever suggested that those only should
be touched which can be included in
the revision with the least injury to
the country. No material change in
the Indian policy will be recommen-
ed. The message will allude but
briefly to the Ku-Klux, as it will be
left to the Attorney General to res
port at length on the question.
The result of the labors of the
High Joint Commission will be q
subject of congratulation. What fur
Their means will be taken in regard
to the recent murders in Corea, has
not yet been definitely determined
strong policy, however, is indicated
for the punishment of the Coreans
for the murder of wrecked American
Seamen. The San Domingo question
is yet under advisement.

Chief Clerk of the Senate.

An eminently wise election for
Chief Clerk of the Senate would be
Mr.. J. II. Waggoner of the Richland
County Republican, the efficient As
sistant Clerk of the same body last
winter. Mr.. Waggoner has done
great service for the republican cause
in the campaign just closed, and
richly deserves the promotion. The
State Journal, advancing TIE claims
of Editor Waggoner for the position
says:
"Mr. Waggoner possesses all the
qualifications required to make a
tirst-class clerk He was assistant
clerk last winter, and gave excellent
satisfaction in that capacity. He was
attentive to duty gentlemanly in
his manner accommodating TO all !;
and in every respect made capital
officer. This experience fits him for
promotion. For seven years Mr.
W. has been connected with edtori-
al life, and has made it success.
He labors hard and with effect for
republican cause and the result in
the recent canvass in Richland coun
ty is a gratifying evidence of the eff
6ciency of his work. The Senate
district, OF which Richland forms a
part, has been redeemed. For two
years past, it has been represented
by democrat; this year, Hon. IL.
l., Eaton, staunch republican, and
most excellent man, has been elect
ed; and probably no one man con-
trbuted more towards achieving
this triumph than did Mr.. Waggoner.
Such men are entitled to considera-
| ton"

BURLINGTON

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago
or Indianapolis, how shall we reach the West ?
The best line is acknowledged TO be the C.B.
O., joined together with the B. & NJ Rail-
way by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the BURLINGTON RoUTE.
The main line of the Route running to Oma-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to-day the leading route to California.
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
Kearney, forming the shortest distance across
the Continent By over leo miles.
Another branch of the b. & NJ. diverging a
Red Oak, falls into a line running down the
Missouri through ST. oe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missou,
and, and by slight divergence, can see Ne
braska also.
Lovers of fine views should remember III
Burlington Route, for its towns ''high-gleam
ing from afar. its tree-fringed streams-t
rough bluffs and quarries--its corn-ocean
stretching over prairies farther than the eye
can reach.
Land buyers will be sure to remember II,
for they have friends among the two thousand
who have already bought farms from Geo. $.
Harris, the Land Commissioner of the B. &
NJ. x. r. at Burlington, Iowa, or among the
four thousand :home.steaders and pre-emptors
who last year filed claims in the Lincoln land
office, where .sUncle Sam Is rich enough TO
give US all farm"

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION


That another year Of plenty, general health
and prosperity has been vouchsafed TO the
people OF this state, we would thankfully rec
ognize, and although a widespread confagra-
ton in the Northeastern portion of the State
has desolated many Households, brought
mourning TO many families, and stripped thou
sands Of our fellow citizens Of nearly all their
worldly wealth, yet even the poorest and q
deeply bereaved of these sufereave foun mod
millions Of hearts throughout the. whole land
extending TO them the most earnest sympathy,
and millions of hands moved 10 relieve their
wants by liberal gifts.
For Gods loving kindness to US during the
wear about 10 close, and for this outpouring OF
Christian benevolence and charity to our af-
hicied fellow citizens, we should, according
TO the pous usages of our Fathers, publicly
thank Him who moves the hearts of men TO
generous deeds.
Therefore, /, Lucius Fairchild, Gov,rnor Of
the state of Wisconsin, do hereby recommend
TO the people OF this state that they observe
Thursday, November 30th, instant, as day Of
Public Thanksgiving, Prayer and Praise.
Given under my hand and the great seal Of the
state, at the Capitol in Madison, this
T.. $ sixth day of November, in the year OF
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-one.

CANDID.-This is the way the Ca
lena Gazette manifests its sagacity
concerning the very important mat
ter of subscribing aid to the railway
to be built from that city to Muscoda:
every business man in the city
should subscribe to the railroad stock.
Many OF our citizens declare that
they will not trade with a merchant
who refuses to aid the road. Wheth-
er this is right or wrong, it is fact,
and doubtless every GaleDian who re-
fuses to do anything for the project
will lose much more by the operation
than he will save"

CoURTING UNDER DIFFICULTTEs.-
What sad and discouragiug state Of
things that must be down at Wood
bine in Illinois. A young gentleman
goes to see a young lady. The young
lady's father is one Of those grabbed
and terocious kind OF dads" who
flourish in all climes, but figure most
prominently in the pages of medieval
romances. He has not the ghost of
a notion as to how it is Cor ought to
be- himself. So he finds it necessary
to keep on hand a monstrous dog,
which abominable brute is set on the
aforesaid young man every time he
approaches the castellated domicil of
his love. His unsuccessful rivals are
mighty glad, to be sure, and would
have written to the Galena Gazette
about it, had not the sagicious maid
EN- headed them off by performing
that job herself, and extracting from
the editor solemn promise that he
would totally abstain from publish
ing and of the feeble stuff which the
poor rejected dunces-hateful things /!
might be mean enough to send him:

Tweed's New Departure.

New YORK, Nov. 24.-The TriJ-
une of to-day announces that an OK
press-wagon loaded with trunks and
other baggage left Tweed's house on
Fifth avenue last Thursday, and that
Deputy United States Marshal
who followed the clue reported that
passage had been engaged in the
steamer City of Brussels for five of
Tweed's family, and that one extra
berth had been engaged, which it
was tated might not be used. The
passenger list at the Inman offices
gives no confederation of the evil
dence, but it is possible that passage
may have been secured in some 9TH
er form than for family of five or
six, to mislead suspicious inquirers.
The officer thinks the removal of the
baggage is explained by the fact
that Tweed had sent away valuables
in advance, and han followed them.
Tweed has not made the house his
residence since the exposure Of the
ring frauds. A prominent politician
popularity supposed to be owned by
Tweed, said yesterday that within
forty>eight hours events would oc
cur which wovld startle New York
1t is probable that he knows more of
Tweeds intentions than he chooses TO
contide to others.

says that "the most important pro-

most valuable and immediate results,
is the newly revived scheme to ex-
tend the Monroe branch of the NJ. a.
st. p. road to Dubuque" This is un-
doubtedly true, as we have often
claimed. and that the road was not
built years ago, was a great damage
to Milwaukee. The Register says that
the people in that region feel an una
usual interest in the completion of
the connection with Dubuque and
well they may, for this road would

as follows: The value of the locks,
dams, franchises, and water power,
personal property, after deducting
for the proceeds of the lands granted
in aid Of it's construction, amount to
1925, 900, which amount, it is thought,
