Society in Onontagon in 1854 was not so
select as it was year or two afterward. At
hop one evening at the Bigelow House an
aspiring youth of the place invited one of the
villages fairest daughters to dance quad
rifle, and while ON the floor with his partner
waiting for the sets to form, the following
conversation occurred, which will illus
trate point and serve as hint to young
gentlemen who are ambitious to stalk big

FREE TEA AND CoFTEE.-After July /, tea aud
coffee will be admitted free OF duty. This will re-
lieve the consumers, the great mass OF the people
from the payment of about twenty mill on dollars
year, and leave that amount to be paid by whis-
ky, tobacco and few other articles.
The people evidently think that whisky is strong
enough to stand under very heavy taxes and In.
tend to keep it hard at work paying the debt.
The computed relief will amount to about half
million dollars yearly in Wisconsin. III.
Under Republican control the taxes are con
stantly reduced and the debt is being paid No
wonder the Democrats are not happy.

Several preliminary surveys of the
Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Railway
are being run to Montello to ascertain
the best way of getting into the village,
and to cross the river.

After Trying to Eat Grow
A REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN
eza4 NORTH CAROLINA!
"sic Transit Gloria Greeli."

One week ago when the Greeley
men were rejoicing over a supposed
victory in North Carolina, this ques-
ton was frequently propounded to
Republicans "if Grant can not car
ry North Carolina, what Southern
State can he carry ?" We answer
that inasmuch as he has carried that
State, which has the smallest proper,
ton of colored voters of any of the
Southern States, that he will carry
majority Of those States. AT the
last election the rebel Democracy of
North Carolina carried the State by
over 5000 majority. Now Greleyism
loses it by 1000. We now put the
question 'if Greeley cant carry
North Carolina what State can he
carry p The Greeley party are en-
titled to all the encouragement they
can find in the following dispatch
announcing the election result in
that State, sent to President Grant !:
fs# aAl o RALEIGH, Aug. I.
North Carolina has elected the entire Re-
p2bIican State ticket by majority ranging
| from 800 TO 2000.
Signed, Thomas SETTLE.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an inquiry which every one should
have truthfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exami-
nation of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The Burlington Route" has achieved a
splendid reputation "a the last two years as
the leading Passenger Route TO the west.
Starting at Burlington it runs direct through
Southern Iowa tc Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and the Terri
tories; and passengers starting from Lancas-
ter, on their way westward cannot do better
than to take the c. B. & @. and Burlington

Compensation to the South tor it's
Slaves.


In various ways comes the intelli>
gence from the South that many of
the Southern ex-slaveholders conf
IDENTIFY anticipate obtaining from the
General Government compensation
for their slaves in case Greeley is
elected to the Presidency. They re-
call his proposition to pay 100000
900 for them in July, 1864, and ask,
if he could make such proposition
then, what would prevent him from
agreeing to 1t now? The Calves
ton (Texas) News, a Greeley organ,
in recent issue says:
Though Mr.. Greeley has been
long and consistently the advocate
Of emancipation, yet be always adj
mitted the constitutional right of the
South which constituted the most
essential preliminary condition to
the original formation of the Union.
Every body knows the Union never
could have been formed but for this
solemn guarantee of slave property,
in the great compact of union.
Hence MIR. Greeley has always adv %
Gated compensation for this proper
ty. He looked upon slavery as an
evil and an insurmouhtable obstacle
to the prosperity of the country, and
he advocated the removal of that
evil upon the same principle that
private property is fcrcibly taken
when required, in order to facilitate
great public improvements, but for
which due compensation is made to
the owners.

that letter is about to be given to
the Tribune or some other Demo-
cratic organ, purporting to have
been written by Tweed and announc-
ing his support of Grant and VIII

people with the belief that Tweed
is in favor of Grant for the purpose
of relieving Greeley of the effects of
a connection of the Boss robbers

same time it is understood among
his conferers that Tweed il all right,
