There is novelty in the new state OF
affairs that is rather pleasing than other
wise-to those who never owned any
horses. A FIRE broke out night before
last, and while enough horses we're found
to pull one engine, another one was
pulled by men and boys, who locked to
the scene with as much glee as they
would have engaged in snow-balling, and
pulled the engine John Sargent to the
ERE with all the vim of young volunteers
| II is needless to say that the Sargent was
soon on the ground and threw the FIRST
stream Of water on the fire. This was
fun, but they will soon get over
it, Already there is an unusual demand
for young men who have good talents in
their legs to deliver packages of goods
from the stores and run all manner Of
errands. Crowds Of teamsters, hack
men. drivers and coachmen are thrown
out OF employment, and make them
selves merry on the corners. People
walk all the way down to Portland, q
4 r.
distance Of some miles, and walk from
one end Of the city to the other. No
more runaways are reported to delight
the gentle-hearted reporter, but he sees
the world for once doing some Of the
leg work that he has to do all the year
round. If walking is as healthy an ex-
ercise as Charles Dickens and DR.. Dio
Lewis would make believe, Louisville
will soon be the healthiest place on
the Continent Its people are proverbial
for their good nature, and in their
present misfortunes take it with calm
philosophy and fortitude. Every yoke
Of oxen seen is an object Of interest as
never before, and the phenomenon is
explained by reference to the epizootie
as if oxen were an imported novelty.
Doctors walk to see their patients, pas
sengers lug their own valises from depots
to hotels and back, and a hackman with
we'll team could soon make little for
tune. Symptoms of the disease are re
ported in Nashville, and unless the late
change in the weather stops its progress
Southwark, we may as well expect it
here in less than week.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have truthulLy answered before he
starts on his journey, and a little care taken
in examination of Routes will! in many ca
ses save much trouble, time nd money.
The &C.. B. & Q. R. R." running from
Chicago through Galesburg to Burlington
has achieved splendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passenger
Route to the west. At Burlington it con-
meets with the great Burlington Route
which runs direct through Southern Iowa
to Nebraska and Kansas, with close connec-
tions to California and the Territories !;
and passengers starting from Watertown on
their way westward, cannot do better than
to take the G. B. &. @. aud Burlington
Route.

LEGISLATIVE RETRENCHMENT.

AS the time for the meeting of the
Legislature draws near, the question Of
retreuchment and economy on the part
of our legislators is beginning to lie ag-
itated by portion of the people and
press of the state. II cannot be denied
that the sessions of our legislatures are
unnecessarily long, and far m"Fe ex-
pensive than they should be. 1t costs
Wisconsin something over 100000 a
vear 10 maintain her legislature. The
expense of last years Legislature was
s112,325.S0.
We would not favor any decrease IN
the present pay OF the Assemblymen
and Senators, $3.50 per annum, but
large sum could be saved by doing
away with a number Of attendan on
the legislature, whose presence do not
seen at all necessary, aud whose sal
ar;es amount to considerable. Last
session it cost $4,000 more to pay the
officers of the Legislature, and the "in-
cidenta" expenses, than it did the Leg
islstors. A great deal of needless ex-
pense that is run up against the state
is owing to the prevailing custom of
having such long sessions. We have
no hesitation in saying that the sessions
average searly double the length of
time there is any need of, and in this
way the s'incidentals" count,
Our Legislators do not keep to their
work as closely as they should. 1t is
ridiculous that fully two working
DAYS in each week of the session should
be lost to all legislative labor by the
customary weekly adjournment from
Friday noon 80 Monday night. The
first reform movement among the men
who 90 to Madison this winter should
be TO have this weekly "go home"
custom dispensed with. We know
the apology for this is that the Legisla-
tors are paid by the session, and if they
waste tine in this way it is their own
affair. But the officers of the Leg
islature are paid by the day, and In the
matter of the incidental expenses it
makes a vast difference whether We
have long or a short session. Let US
hope that retrenchment and reform
ia the matters we have called attention
to will be practiced by our law givers
this Niater, and that good example
will be set by them for future action in
this respect.
