Murder and Suicide.

From an extra of the Black Earth i'd
certiser. we learn that frightful murder
and suicide was committed in the village
of Black Earth, on Thursday, the 29th of
June. It appears that Saunders, the MUIR
derer, in consequence of his drinking had
caused much trouble and unpleasantness
in his family so much so. that Mrs.
Saunders had some time before applied for
divorce. At the time of the tragedy,
Mrs. S. was keeping a milliner store, and
on the morning above referred to, Saun-
ders entered the store, and after some
words drew a revolver and shot his wife,
the ball hitting Mrs. S. in the neck. She
fell; he then fired again, hitting her in the
face. The unfortunate woman, after suf-
fering about seven hours, died.
AS soon as the murderer had finished
his work with the woman, he ran to the
cellar, proceeded to the darkest corner,
placed the muzzle of the revolver in bis
mouth and fired, killing himself instantly
Saunders was an Englishman, and had llV'
ed in the village Of Black Earth IF cen
years. He was carpenter, and when So
Der master mechanic. Six children are
left TO mourn the loss of their parents.

Destruction of Libraries in Paris

Paris had many valuable libraries. Du-
ring the time of peace these collections of
literature have ever been held in high esti-
nation by the educated people of France,
but in struggle for power such valuables
have always been forgotten. Such was
the case in the late bitter contest.
Thirty thousand volumes were burned
in the Hotel de Vile. Of these six thous.
and were presented by the States of our
Union. The whole of the Louvre library
was destroyed. The valuable collection of
the late Mr.. Motley, an American citizen,
was contained in this library.
Many works relative to the history of
Paris and other cities of France were in
the Hotel de Vile, and they were all burn
ed with that structure Of artistic beauty.
A large number of libraries aside from
these two shared the same fate. By chance
the National Library, the most extensive
and valuable in the world escaped destruc-
ton.

feasibility of enacting another law TO pro-
hlbit the DESPERATION of the Sabbath in one
direction at least.
The extended session held in this city
by the delegations from the Baptist and
Presbyterian Church Societies throughout
the country, has just closed and with very
satisfactory results. Some new church
work has been laid out, and some alter
atoms made, so that as means of church
legislation, the meeting has been of grea.
Importance.
Among the delegates present were some
of the finest scholars and ablest preachers
in the country.
Business of all kinds is very dull. and
the result is that much financial embar-
rassment is evident among business men.
Another bad feature of the case is, that
many laboring men are being thrown out
of employment. The prevailing opinion
seems to be that the coming summer will
not be characterized by very brisk trade
in any direction. However, the current
of the trade, and the state Of the markets
are very uncertain to speculate upon.
Many residences are being closed and
the unfortunate ones are leaving dusty
pavements and brick walls for time, to
indulge in the luxury Of country habits,
and enjoy all the influences which are so
beneficial in restoring lost apetites and
resting tired-out people.
Northern and central Wisconsin seem
to be localities much frequented by pleas
ure seekers during the present season.
The capacity of the lake tunnel to furn-
ish water for this city, being deemed in
sufficient for the increasing demand for
that necessary fluid. 1t was proposed
some time ago to construct another of
nearly like dimensions, and but for the
difficulty which has arisen among the con-
tractors of the work it would have been
we'll begun by this time. AS it is now
the law courts decide the questions OF
difference and the people must wait the
issue. B. W. GRIFFIN.

A Good Way To Get Out of It.

remember one of those rare instances
in the experience of country printers, says
Whitlaw Reid in his Editorial Reminis-
cences'a man came into the Office to thrash
me. had then arrived at the mature age
of eighteen, but was as vigorous as am
now. In the course of some police
items in country town, / had the occa-
sion to say that Dutch butcher, hight
six feet age 80, weight. 200, had whipped
his wife, proceeding to which: objected,
and commented on with severity, which
hope the enlightened press OF the country
will always exhibit on such occasions.
The next day the butcher came in and
proposed to ''interview" the writer of
that paragraph. He looked at me and
inquired ifI wrote it. We think quick in
great perils, and people in danger OF be
ing thrashed can do small amount of
ratiocination in short time. saw there
was no use of arguing with the fellow, and
| said to him
"Hans, are you subscriber to this pa.
per ?"
Hans, who understood thoroughly that
he had been maligned, was not sure on
the subject of subscription, and he shook
his head and asked me what I meant.

per ?"
Hans scratched his head and believed
ne was not. said loudly:

The Bait Withdrawn.

On the 31st of March, Geo. W. Cobb, at
the instance of the officers of the Mineral
Point Railroad Company, Luther Beecher
and others, holders of the Iowa County
bonds, made proposition in substance,
as follows That he wished to extend
the NJ P. r. R. through Iowa county, and
wanted local aid to the amount of $780,
900. That he held Iowa County Bonds to
that amount, and if the towns along the
proposed route would give the required
aid, he would transfer dollar for dollar of
these bonds for local aid The bonds
would then be held by the towns, and if
they ever had to be paid, they would be
held as an offset, and free those towns
from further liability.
The PROPOSE ton looked very fair on its
face, and was claimed by some to be free
generous and unqualified gif: oc 100000 !;
but others-men who have not the utmost
confidence in railroad companies In gener-
al, and in the NJ P r. r. in particular,
but who have been led TO believe from pre-
vious transactions, that such corporations
have no souls, and that offers of 100000
gifts are not usually made, Except by
gift concert associations)- who the NJ.
p. r. r. 60. is not-which have looked at
this proposition in quite a different light.
They have thought that if the bond hold
ers for a moment believed that their bonds
were worth their face, they would never
offer $500, 900 of them for 100000 aid
when every sane man knows they could
get at least half that amount as local aid in
this county without offering any induce
ment in the form of repudiated bonds.
That the holders of the bonds felt they
were almost worthless, for it would not be
considered very unreasonable for the rail,
road company to ask that amount Of aid
without offering any other inducement
than the benefits of the road. Again It
is looked at in this way that the bond
holders considered their sureties so near
worthless, that they were willing to invest
$300,0O0 in Gift to the people for the
sake of insuring the collection Of the bal
snce, which every person can readily see
it would do, for the bonds would not be
Cancelled or destroyed, but would have on
ly changed owners, and would be so own
cd that several of the principal towns in
the county, and probably majority of the
people instead Of still being interested in
fighting the bonds, would be interested in
their payment, which could not fail to
bring the fight to speedy and disastrous
close. Looking at the proposition in this
light, and feeling warranted in SO doing,
they have rejected the offer, and Mr..
Cobb will, in all probability be compelled
to return the $500, 900 of bonds, and in
form the owners that the people won't ac
cept them. We shall then stand exactly
where we did before the proposition was
made. If the railroad company desire to
extend the road, and want local aid, let
them ask it, and the people will do their
best, but the scheme or bait for getting
the towns to own large proportion of the
county bonds, and thereby COMPEL the
payment of the balance, will not take, the
people have been gulled too often they
won't bite at that hook if it is baited with
100000 as free gift.

INFLUENCE OF TREES ON CLIMATE.
The subject of the influence of ''fOr-
esting,'' or the planting of trees, uRon
the climate of country, and of de-
foresting," or destroying the forest
growth, continues to excite much in
terest throughout the world, as it is
now well established that the climate
of many localities has been materially
altered by one or the other of these
processes. Systematic efforts have
been made, in different parts of the
world, for introducing growth of trees
where these had either disappeared or
had never been known, from which i'm
portant results have followed in many
Instances. We have before referred to
the effect upon the climate of India of
planting extensive forests of different
species and we are informed that, as
the consequence of a similar expert
ment, Egypt, which formerly had only
about six rainy days every year, since
being replanted on large scale, has
already attained to twenty-four.-
Among the enlightened measures of
the administration of the French gov
ernment, one which is especially note
worthy is that Of planting immense
tracts of land in Algiers, especially
with Australian trees-namely, the
acacia naolissima and Acacia lophan-
tha.. Plantations of these trees, start
ed few years ago, have attained a
height of from nine to twelve feet, and
in their rapid growth and great extent
have already changed the climate very
much-twice as mnch rain and dew
falling in the neighborhood as before.
Under the same auspices, sixteen square
miles of the swampy, unhealthy coun-
try along the coast Of the Bay of Bis
cay, in the department of the Landes,
was planted with millions Of trees
especially the corn oak and swamp pine
with surprisingly beneficial results :.
the trees having drained the land so as
to destroy the swamp fevers, and to
change it into healthy country with
pine forests. Biscay law requires that
for every tree cut down two shall be
planted, and it is said to be executed
with rigorous severity, -Harper'S Mag
d*iAe.

Ed, CHRONICLE In my letter prom
;sed to give you kind of Statistical re-
port Of the different organizations which
constitute the legislature, and executive
power of this city, but as have not col
lected all the facts necessary for report
of that nature, will give it to you at
some future time. There are few items
of general news however, which may be
readable
We are having fine weather here now !;
tie epidemic disorders which are usually
prevalent in large city at this time of the
year, to greater or less extent, have not
yet made their appearance. The mortali-
ty reports show much better state Of
health throughout the city than during
any preceding year, and a smaller per
cent. of deaths. The close proximity of
the city to the lake and the purifying and
irvigorating influences of the prairie and
lake breezes, tend very much to improve
the sanitary condition Of the town
though unless the boards of health and
public works make haste to improve the
condition of the river which intersects the
town the effect will be counteracted by
the fetid and unwholesome gasses which
rise from that stream in certain portions
of the city. The purity or impurity of
the water of the river must have very
great influence upon the health of those
living in its immediate vicinity.
The sensation Of the last week or two,
has been produced by combined effort
on the part of the Germans and Irish,
Chiefly among the former,) to bring about
the repeal Of one of the wisest laws ever
enacted by the city. 1t was an ordinance
prohibiting the opening of saloons on the
Sabbath, und while it was in force demon
strated it's civilizing Influences by dom
away with much Of the drunkenness ana
disorder which are usual on that day
The lao is repealed, and the proprietors Of
German beer gardens and saloons are de-
lighted at the prospect of an increase of
profit. Resolutions denouncing In strong
terms the want Of energy in some of the
members of the city council and corrup-
ton in others, have been passed by many.

immensely of Space.

Astronomers estimate that some OF the
most distant stars seen by Lord Ross's
telescope. give to earth the rays of light
which left them $4,000 years ago, having
taken all that time, at the rate OF 2OO,000
miles, or eight times round our earth, In
one second, to reach US; that the rays
emitted now will not reach our solar sys-
tenn until another $4,000 years have pass
ed away. Take our earth for center
point, and one of these distant stars being
due east and another due west, their dis
lance from each other would be double the
distance from the earth, or 100000 years
would be consumed in the passage of rays
of light from one to the other-more time
than is allotted to three thousand genera
tons of the human race. If the time so
occupied is inconceivably vast, how can
we form any conception of the distance
Multiply the 100000 years, reduced to
seconds, by 200, 1000, and you get the dis
lance between such stars in miles, but the
number is absolutely overwhelming.
But we have only begun to look COM
parativey small distance out into open
space, or perhaps into, to us the illimited
creation. We may imagine million OF
stars placed in straight line, each as far
from its next as the two we have supposed
and yet the distance between the two last
extremes would be too short for a measure
to measure across the vast creation, though
extended over new space once in each min
ute for million years.-Nationa1.
