The aomaly of Legislation.

Every winter the legislature spends sew
eral thousand dollars on the subject OF
immigration to the state. They have now
bill before them to create the office OF
State Comm ssioner Of immigration, at
salary of $4,000 per annum. If there is
any one thing that could be invented by
the people of state to prevent lmmi-
grafton, it certainly would be the fact of
creating hoar0e of officers at exorbitant
salaries to procure this immigration. The
idea is too ridiculous to even permit a
smile. Thousands and tens of thou
sands of dollars to be spent annually in
printing and furnishing statistics, and
paying salaries of men to lounge about
wharves and hotels with several clerks to
assist them, to induce immigrants to set
tie in the state and pay tax to support
this highly magnanimous work The
proper way to secure migration is to go
to work and legislate hundreds of men out
of office instead of IN; reduce the heavy
burdens Of taxation and the people will
soon enough learn that the healthiest and
best country is always to be found where
the government is pure and administered
for the benefit of the people, and not for
the purpose of creating Offices and increas-
ing taxation to defray the expenses of
them. 1t is not TO be expected that the
affairs of state can be administered with
out expense; but could such an anomaly
exist in the State of Wisconsin for five
years, you would receive thousands null
tiplied by ten thousands, from the east
west, north, south, Cog, Magog, and every
other point of the compass modern and Ju
daical, rushing with headlong impetuosity
into our state, until the valleys would flow
with life, as great flowing river, the high
grand panorama of life, enterprise, and in
telligence, moving as angels in the great
work of directing the bright star of
Empire.
The nearer we can approach this picture
in the reduction of the enormous expenses
and taxations of the state, the more of its
beauties will our eyes behold, and the less
occasion will we have for State Boards of
Immigration IF the present amount !.of
taxation and revenues that we are paying
now were to continue after death, but few
would care to 60 to heaven, and it would
soon be found necessary to establish a
Board of immigration to that delightful
cline.

ly propagated IN the form of germs, what
ever be their character, which, thrown m
to the air and falling upon or entering the
body, give rise to renewed cases. ln
scarlet fever these germs appear to retain
their vitality for an unusual length OF
time, one case being mentioned where a
Nee of flannel worn around the neck of a
scarlet fever patient, was picked up and
used two years after, and developed a
fresh case of the disease. In certain in
stance Of an outbreak of scarlet fever oyer
wide neighborhood it was ascertained
that in every instance this took place in
families that had been supplied with milk
by the same mik,man. On inquiry it
was found that persons connected with
the farm from which milk was supplied
had been infected with scarlet fever. The
precautions to be taken according to Mr..
Lenrox, after the disease has made its APP
pearance, are, in the first place, to isolate
the patient at whatever trouble or expense
preventing the approach of any one ex-
cepting the nurse and physician. With
this, disinfectants must be used with the
utmost freedom, whether they be carbolic
acid, permanganates of soda and potash,
chloride of zinc chloride Of aluminium,
chlorinated lime or soda, sulphate Of iron,
&c. These should be employed in and
around the patient. All his discharges
and exertions should be Immediately dis
infected, and all bed clothing and linen
worn by the patient treated with the same
care. Nurses in attendance, and physi-
clans touching the patient in any way.
should also wash their hands in dsin-
fecting solution before leaving the room.
Wooden clothing that cannot be washed
should be exposed to heat of at least
212 degrees, this temperature having the
property of destroying the poisonous
germs. Even after the patient has appar-
emily recovered, the precautions should be
maintained until the peeling off of the
cutice, or the scales, has been entirely
accomplished, as in many cases the dis
ease has been traced to the particles of
this character. III

Insurance.

There is considerable talk at the pres
ent time about the unsound condition of
the Madison Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, The company has been driven to
the necessity Of making assessments on its
premium notes, and hence the suspicious
in regard to its sonndness. Whether the
company is actually in bad rag, we can
not speak of our own knowledge. We do
know, however, that there are companies
that are soender in every particular than
is the Madison Mutual. The best compan-
les are the cheapest always. Mutual COM
panies have had sad experience in this
county, and the best of them should be re-
garded with suspicion. Our advice is,
Never insure in a Mutual company"
The best of them are dangerous.-P Prairie

Poor Lo Some days since, two noble
aborigines, fuller of whiskey than caution,
were celebrating the valorous achievements
of their ancestors by war dance and big
drunk generally, on the ice near Arena,
when blinded by the enthusiasm of the oc-
casion, they approached too near an air
hole, whereby the circus was suddenly in
terrupted by the actors disappearing be-
meath the limpid waters Of the Wisconsin !;
and as several days have elapsed and they
have not, as yet, reported themselves to
their friends, the supposition is that they
have gone to that hunting ground where
winter never comes, and tangleleg and air
holes are no more.-Black Earth AdU'r.

st. Valentines Day

The 14th of February is called St. Val
entine's Day, because the ancients held
that day sacred to the Great Saint This
was regarded as a day of general unity
and social mingling of all sexes, ages, and
conditions-a jubilee of harmony, gala
day Of Joy, wherein all the Saints patrons
laid aside their usual reservedness, let
loose the rigid ligatures of social law, and
plunged untrameled into the vertex of con-
VITALITY and rendered the scene that of
one great and grand family union. s
This is the day when birds begin choos-
ing their mates, when the sound of their
merry, mingling voices are heard upon ev-
cry branch, and they are knocking at
every lattice for admission.
From these instructive habits of the
birds many others, whose feathers are not
so numerous, but whose voices, in many
instances, are equally sweet, have learned
the science of billing, and many of those
bird imtators are still futtering against
the lattice work of the hearts of some of
the patrons of good old St. Valentine.
Young men, tall, slender and simple, on
that day, which will occur on Tuesday
next, will receive full power and liberty to
cast their longing eyes about and among
the bright warblerS and select therefrom a
mate to cheer his airy fight through life
by sweet domestic vespers. So, also, the
blushing, simpering maiden is likewise
licensed on that day to join her fortunes
with one whose smiles are synonyms of
her thoughts, and thus do penance at the
shrine of the favored Saint, and secure his
usual annual blessing.
Let not the man or maiden forget on
this day to freely and openly make their
VOWS If it be lnconvenient to make them
in person, it can easily be done through
the post office, by written missives or,
in case the twain are unable to autograph
their mother tongue, they can buy .fGc
sinaik representations of their figures and
feelings at any well regulated news depot
in the shape of portraits and pictures
which they can send in handsomely en-
bossed envelopes, which by all means
should be baptized in slight solution Of
eau de cologne, or few sprinkles OF musk,
in order to give the picture an air of vital
ity which will add much to the impression
at first sight
Those who can write had better prepare
their billets the evening before, and each
one strive to get to the postoffice first in
the morning. If by accident they should
happen to meet, it would be embarrassing,
but one could slip out behind the crowd
and get away without much damage being
done or exposing their intentions,
1t is expected that all who indulge a
desire to do honor to St. Valentine on
Tuesday next, will prepare their billet
deaue and bills for the occasion and strike
to win, and meier give DER till victory
smile on hearts beguiled, and signs shall
sink to rise no more.

MAZOM4NIE.


EDITORS CHRONICLE: Having read an
article in the CHRONICLE of January 27th,
respecting Adventism in Arena, thought
1t might not be uninteresting to you to be
informed that we have had a debate on
Adventism, in the village of Dover, lately,
between Mr.. j. Ray aud Mr.. Joslin, on
the following proposition:
Resolred, That man has no conscious existence be-
tween death and the resurrection.
Mr.. Joslin took the Affirmative of the
proposition, and Mr. Ray the negative. As
was to be expected, the no soulist gave US
no soulismin perfection for ne mentioned
that man has no more soul than brute,
and that God has body, parts, and pas
sions, the same as man. Whoever ex-
pected to bear men calling themselves
christians talking such abominable non
sense? Such gross absurdity always
sounds bad when uttered by men who
openly profess infdel principles, but how
insulting to the common sense of mankind
to call it religion; to call it anything but
rank infdelity infdelity of the worst
type; infidelity which many modest, in
telligent irfdsls would be ashamed to a.
knowledge. Can it be possible that in the
18th century we have men calling them
selves christian ministers, who are teach
ing theories and principles as bad as the
worst infidels ever mentioned, and these
men, we are told, in Arena are upheld by
exemplary and truly devotional christians
Such must be q new sort of christians but
very different from those who were first
called christians at Antioch they are GER
tainly not of Paups stamp, not genuine,
but spurious, or what lawyers would call
a misnomer. Genuine christians are not
found associated with the worst forms Of
in6delity, and maintaining theories and
principles full of deadly poisons, because
so directly opposed to the whole teaching
| Of revelation
We are told that the Adventists of Are
ma believe as most other christians do, in
the fundamental principles of religion, and
yet they deny that man has an immortal
soul, and the trinity, and if the man at
Arena teaches the same as the man at Do
yer, the writer might have said, the divin-
ity of Christ. and the atonement, and al
most every other fundamental principle of
the christian religion. Adventism reduces
the great and glorious God Of the universe
the self-existent Jehovah, Creator Of all
things, to a mere man, and then reduces
man to a mere brute; and so contradicts
the God of heaven himself: See .1er. xiii,
"a, where God says, "Do not ill heaven
and earth, saith the Lord ~
As to their talk about the Second COM
ing of Christ, one would have thought it
would have ceased long ago, they haying
been so often mistaken in their calcu-
lations. .... s-
4 series of resolutions adopted by the
people who listened to the debate, accom-
panied the above communication, which

Court Commissioner and Mar
riages.

II has been the practice of few court
commissioners in some localities to take
upon themselves the authority to solemn
ize marriages, when the law never gave
them such authority either in express
words or by implication. Marriages here
tofore solemnized by court commissioners
are not legal marriages when made, hut
may be made so afterwards.
In view of this misapprehenslon of the
law by some Of the court commissioners,
Hon. Fl. S. Magoon, Senator from La Fay
cite county, has introduced bill in the
Legislature comforting authority on such
officers 20 solemnlze marriages, and also to
legalze those heretofore solemnzed by
them.

Preparations to Resume Hostilities.

Uneasiness is succeeding the exultation
caused by the fall Of Paris. The funds are
depressed and no confidence is felt that the
terms of peace will be accepted by the Bor-
deaux Assembly. Incessant exertions are
making for resumption of the war, the
plan being to 're4uip the armies, oyerrun
the whole of France and reduce it to SUBJ
mission by savage and relentless cam
paigh.

The War not Ended.

The latest reports from France indicate
that warlike spirit is still prevalent and
the Bordeaux Government, backed by a
large portion of the people, is determined
to renew the war after the armistice expires.
The result, with the large army lately be
sieging Paris mainly released, will be the
overrunning of France by the German. and
further occupation, devastation and blood
shed, instead of the peace which it was
hoped would follow the surrender of Paris.
The two sections of the provisional gov
erpment, at Paris and Bordeaux, appear to
be at loggerheads. Bismark vigorously pro-
tests against the decree of Gambetta dis
qualifying large number of citizens Of
France from election to the Constituent AS
sembly, and says: "Germany will only
treat with an Assembly freely elected" to
which Gambetta responds deiantly and
such demonstrations against the action Of
Fayre and his associates have been made
in different localities, as show that the hor-
rors Of the situation are in danger Of being
complicated by civil war.
1t is stated that another call has been
made upon the German landwehr, which
will embrace 800 200 men and should the
war be prolonged it will be pursued by the
Germans relentlessly. Prince Frederick
Charles, Manteuffel and Falkenstein, are
to be intrusted with the task of conquering
the south. Moltke will retain the super
vision, but large amount of discretion will
be allowed to the actual commanders
