SECRETARY Stewards VISIT TO Con-
sTANTINoPLE.-Th Fourth Of July was
celebrated in Constantinople by a fes,
tival at Robert College, a beautiful
building occupying one Of the finest sites
on the Bosphorus. Secretary Seward,
Blacque Bey, Oscanyan Ffiendi, Mr.,
Brown, the United States Charge
d'Affaires with several American mer-
chants, were present. DR.. Hamlin, the
president Of the college, welcomed and
complimented Mr.. Seward, who in reply
observed that DR.. Haml1n had congrat-
ulated the United States upon the fact
that the differences with England have
been amicably settled. He would add
only one observation to that, namely,
that as at the beginning of the late civil
war when the United States was slave
holding nation, they had no sincere and
fast friends throughout the world, so at
the close of that war they had only one
alienation with any nation, and that was
with the British nation. The misunder-
standing, God be thanked, is happily re-
moved at last. He had completed near
ly two thirds of a voyage round the
globe and be had not as yet found a
people who wcse not friends of the
United States, and he had yet to find in
the last of his journey the people or
government which is hostile, if there be
one
Mr.. Seward was enthusiastically
cheered at the conclusion of his address.
He had had an interview with the Sui
tan, and intended leaving very soon for
home by way of Vienna, Paris and
London. 1l~.l

STATE, DISTRICT AND COUNTY
CONVENTIONS. |#

The State Convention for the nomina-
ton of Candidates for State Offices is to
be held at Madison on Wednesday, Tie
Both instant. The Senatorial District
Convention to organize, and to elect two
delegates to the State Convention, is to
be held at Elkhorn on Wednesday the
23d instan6. The County CONVENTION
for the election of two Delegates to the
State Convention is to be held at the
Court House in Keno8ha on Saturday, the
Goth inst, at one o'clock P. ". The call
for these Conventions has been in
the TELEGRAPH for the past three weeks,
and calls for the City and some Of the
Town Caucuses appear in the TELEGRAPH
to-day.
We presume no one will forget or fail
to realize the Importance of the State
Election. State Officers are TO be elected
for two years, AND tile administration OF
these officers viii h4 ro~d or lad as the
pocI.. ,n4i 4..,H 81. ',.td ,..n 20 fill the
Office. inc Republican party being
largely IN the majority there is but little
or no doubt but that the Republican Can
didates will be elected. It would require
a very great blunder in the nominations
to cause their defeat. It behooves the
Republican party not to make blunder,
for two reasons-to avoid defeat and to
elect good men to fill the offices. For
years past Wisconsin has been blessed
with good State Officers. 1t would be a
great calamity to be cursed with bad
State Officers for years to come To be
blessed, or to be cursed, depends upon the
acton of the Republicans of the State. II
they do their duty the blessing awaits US
If they fail to do their duty the curse
may follow.
What is true of the Republicans of the
State is true in measure of the Republi-
cans Of this County. And it is to the Re-
publicans of Kenosha County that we de.
sire more particularly to speak. The Re-
publican nominations being about
equivalent to being elected, it
is not the less, perhaps the
. more, necessary that good nomination:
should be made. And the way, and the
only way, is for the people, through their
delegates, to make the nominations. The
starting point is with the people in theil
primary meetings or caucuses. There th,
people should delegate their power tt
good and reliable men and hold them t.
strict Accountability. Thus to delegate
power the people should be in the pri
mary meetings. To fail to be there is tx
neglect the first duty of an elector. AnG
yet many who see the duty clearly fail Il
perform it. And herein lies the grea
danger Of the Convention system of ma
king nominations. We would therefor,
urge upon the Republican electors of thi
County to obViate this danger. Let eve
ry one who loves his Country and her In
stitutions-who loves Freedom and Equa
Rights-who loves good State Govern
ment administered by good State Officer
attend the primary meetings and del
egate their powers to good and true men
Then, and only then, will he have dis
charged the first duty of an elector in tn,
delegation of power.

ADVANCE OF THE CHOLERA Foreign
letters say that the rumorad extension of
the cholera from Russia into the Baltic
provinces OF Russia, has very naturally
caused alarm, lest the malady should
spread again FROM Europe to this country.
The news requires confirmation, and much
Of the alarm depends upon a mistaken
notion Of the rapidity of diffusion and
direction of the epidemic. One account
describes the disease as having made It's
way in the familiar cholera route from
Persia through Russia, to the shores of
the Baltic, and the Registrar General in
his last weekly report writes that the
Asiastie Cholera, as it was a painful duty
to announce last June, is entering West
ern Europe through Russia, where DR..
Zuetzer says it is fast advancing on the
German frontiers. In the second week OF
this month it broke out in Witskowski, a
town in Poland, on the road to Kronigs
berg, west of the Nelmen, where thirty
deaths occurred within few days. The
epidemic has prevailed in wilma for &our
weeks, and from ten to fifteen deaths are
reported daily At its present rate Of
progress it may reach Germany in three
or four weeks.-Egcbcnge.
Last reports are that the cholera has
reached Kronigsberg

A MIRACLE.-A correspondent
of the New York World, writing
from Chicago concerning the fire,
says: S'I'he safety of Mr.. Ogden's
house remains miracle. The fire
was on all four sides of it. And
for mile on all four sides of it
there is not human habitation nor
a green thing; and yet not only is
the house safe and unsinged, but
the trees and the palings and the
very sidewalks show no sign that
there has been fire raging within
twenty miles of them. The house
and its grounds occupied a whole
square. But so did many other
villas near it, of which no trace
remains. The family, it is said, did
not move thing-as indeed there
was no place to move anything to
but only kept a carriage in wait
ing so as to escape in case the ne
cessity should come, which never
came.'

Recently a lovc-s;cll swain was
paying court to his Dulcina. She
had smuggled him into the parlor,
and the darkness only servedi to
conceal her bushes while John told
the story of his love. The mutrer-
el words reached the parental ear,
and coming suddenly into the room
he demanded to know of Mary who
it was she had with her.
''It's the cat, sir" was the num-
bling reply.
ssDrive it out ofhere," thundered
pater fanilias.
ssScat.'' screamed Mary, and
then sotto voice: "Jobn, NEW Il

John set up a woful yowl.
''That cat has got cold," re-
marked the parent.
John yowled louder than ever.
"Confound it, bring light, and
scare the thing out"
This was too much, and John
made a leap for the window, carry
ing glass and frame with him.
ssThunder! what cat!'' said
the parent, contemplating the ruin
after a light was brought. 81
never saw anything like it; its tail
is made of broadcloth 20 as he

Calcutta merchants have a novel
way Of Willing away idle hours.
According to a local paper, betting
on drops Of rain is just row the
fashion there, even respectable
native business men wagering large
sums on the rainfall. When the
weather becomes cloudy, wagers are
laid as to the time within which
the down-pour may be expected.
The wager being laid, the crowd
wait patiently, to sec the water run
out of the spouts, for drizzle is
not recognized and unless the
water drips from the spout, the
party who bets it will not rain has
not lost. Sometimes the utmost
confusion prevails; it rains for a
few minutes, and the crowd look
anxiously at the spouts if the
water does not drip, the yell is ter
rife, losers attribute it to foul play
and boys are Immediately sent uI
to the top of the house to sec
whether the spout has not beer
