One day a fine Newfoundland dog and
a mastiff, had sharp discussion over
bone, and warred away as angrily as two
boys. They werefighting on bridge,
aud the first thing they knew, over they
went into the water. The banks were SO
high that they were forced to swim some
distance before they came to a landing
place. 1t was very easy for the New
toundlander he was as mucn at home in
the water as a seal. But not so poor
Bruce; he strangled and tried his best to
swim, but made little headway. The
Newfoundland dog quickly reached the
land, aud then turned to look at his old
enemy. He saw plainly that his strength
was fast failing, aud that he was likely
TO drown. So what should that noble
fellow do but plunge in, sele him gently
by the collar, and, keeping his nose above
the water, tow him safely into port? 1t
was funny to sec these dogs look at each
other, as they shook their wet coats.
Their glances said as plainly as words,
Wen never quarrel any more.-Selected,

THE MAIN ELECTION.

During the present presidential can
vase more interest thun usual IS mani
tested by both political parties over the
rosnI, in the states which choose their
copgressmen and state officers prior to
the November election. The Septem-
her and October elections exert no
small influence on the subsequent
election, shov ing as they do the under
current of feeling on the presidential
onastion. The next important state
election occurs in Main, Monday, Sep
TENDER 9th. \ Governor, members OF
the Legislature and Congressman are
~ he elected. Main sends i've men,
hers to the House Of Representatives.
At the election in 1870 the Repnbl;-
cans carried every district, and secured
the state by 9,5J6 majority. ln 1871
the Republican majority was 1851
The Greeleyites have talked pretty
loud about carrying the state this year
Senator Trumbull in a speech at
Portland short time since claimed
Maine for the Liberal Republican cause
by small majority. But the Greeley
ties generally concede the state to the
Republicans by about 5000. and expect
to carry two of the congressional dis
tricts-the first and the fifth. In the
Kennebec district Speaker Blaine Is a
candidate for reelection, and the
Greeley party are moving heaven ana
earth to defeat him. Il is majority IN
1870 was 1920 and his majority this
year may be reduced to 500, but his
defeat is impossible. If the Republ'-
cans of Main should hold their own
next week or even carry the state by
only $500 majority, it would have a
damaging effect on the prospects of the
Greeleyltes aud be very justly regarded
as an indication that the great Greeley
tidal wave has not reached New Eng
land where it was expected to sweep
through with considerable force.

GENERAL DIX.-General Dix was
born in 1898, entered West point in
1872, and joined the army for service
as Ensign in 1913. In 1919 he was
made Captain of Artillery, and in 1928
entered upon the practice of the law.
Governor Throop made him Adjutant
General in $780, was chosen Secretary
of State in 1888, where he showed
great interest in the schools and public
works. Was q Member of Assembly
in 1872 from this county; was sent to
the United States Senate in I849 de-
clined the Office of United States Secre-
tary of State in 1852, and subsequently
served as United States Treasurer and
Postmaster in the city of New York
In person he is erect and soldier-like.
He bears high reputation for thorough
honesty and integrity, and his character
is irreproachable.
When the Southern officials deserted
President Buchanan, on the announce
ment of secession, General Dix was
called to the Cabinet as Secretary of
the Treasury. 1t was while he held
this Office that he wrote his famous
dispatch of 'I1 any one attempts to
haul down the American flag shoot
him on the spot ;. in reply to COM
munication from w Fl. Jones, the
special agent at New Orleans, report
ing that Captain Brashwood had re-

pointed Brigadier General, and subse-
quently Major General of Volunteers,
being placed in command of Federal
forces at Baltimore.
General Dix was subsequently placed
in command of Fortress Monroe, and in
1863 performed one of the best man
euvers of the campaign. In June he
sent portion Of his command to the

Pamunkey with the York River. In
this position he threatened both Rich
mond and the communications of Gen
eral Lee, VINO was advancing along the

This movement defeated all General
Lees plans and so frightened jeff

dered him more anxious for the city
than at any former time"

4 WISCONSIN BORGIA.

The dreadful crime OF poisoning i've
persons is charged on woman named
Mrs. Charlotte Lamb, who has been
arrested at Trimbelle, Pierce County
and placed in Jail. In September,
1871, her husband died very sudden
ly, showing symptoms Of having been
poisoned. Last May her son, aged 10
years. was taken sick in like manner
as his father, and, in an hour was dead.
In June daughter 5 years old, died a
similar death. Next month Mrs Lamb
went to Mrs. Jane Ottman's house to
assist in taking care of her while sick
and mixed up powder for her. Mrs.
Ottman complained eff violent pains in
the stomach, and died in few minutes.
Last week Royal Garland, also a neigh
Dor, died under the same circumstan ces
as the above-named Mrs. Lamb was
cooking for him during the harvest,
and after drinking a cup of tea prepar
ed by her he was taken with sever pains,
and died soon after.
DR.. Hay, of Hudson examined the
stomach of Garland, and it is said
poison was found The bodies Of other
victims have been disinterred and the
stomaehs are now in the hands Of the
doctor for analysis. 1t is reported that
Mrs. Lambs house was searched and
strychnine and arsenic found. Her
examination takes place on the 9th inst.

Republican Club Of Milwaukee, held

Wilson, and joined the club. The list
was read, and received with great en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Larkin was called upon
for speech but declined, saying he
was only worker in the cause. This
is the story that reaches US from all
quarters. For every Republican that
falls by the wayside, his place is taken
10 the ranks Of Grant and Wilson by
at least three democrats. At this rate
of progression, how long will it take

or the nominees we need say little. Mr..
Greeley is honest, able in more ways than
one, caring not much for place and gooa
deal for principle, ever learning much and
forgetting little, earning eminence by hard
work, with a vital brain, keen eye, heart
full Of kindness, and a conscience that seldom
parts with loyalty. But he Is also a man of
strong and swaying hredjudices, crotchety,
erratic, often incomprehensible, unfair as a
critic, too pungent as debater, and almost
sure to fail whenever he seriously attempts
leadership. He Is q candidate to be easily
beaten If hard to be driven from the track I;
and the beating that awaits him we think will
be blessing to the country, and more
source Of amusement than chagrin to himself.
He Is a splendid editor, and the country will
doubtless let him keep his place at the desk
