A Terrible Tale,

A Mantako WISCONSIN, correspondent
of the Milwaukee Wisconsin sends the fol-
lowing horrible tale:
Last summer, a family, consisting of
husband, wife and three children, went
from this city to live upon a claim situa-
bed near Heron Lake, Noble county, and
about fifteen miles from Okakens. On
the 1st inst, the husband, who is given to
drinking, started for Jackson ostensibly
on business, but only to indulge in the
pleasure of his devilish appetite. He left
his wife and children out upon the open
prairie, in the dead of winter, with scarce
stick of wood and what is still more in
credible, while she was daily expecting
confinement The day after he left, came
the fearful storm, and when that was ex-
pended the poor woman found herself
out of fuel. She knew that she could
scarcely expect her husband home for sew
eral days, as it took that time generally for
him to recover from his sprees, and the
conviction came to her that the family
would soon freeze to death unless succor
couldbe had from the neighbors, the near
est of whom was three miles distant. So
THIS desperate woman, at that time in 50
delicate condition that she might be con-
lined to her bed started out in the fierce
cold for help. AT least such is the suppo-
ton, for the next day some of the neigh
bors found the baby, together with that of
the newborn babe, stark stiff, in a snow
bank, where she had fallen faint, and
persisted. Mortified, they picked her up
and carried her home, and here, horror
upon horror, they found the three little
ones also frozen to death.

WHAT THE GENERAL ORDER Bus
MESS Is.-Our readers are familiar
through the daily Geographic reports of
the New York Investigation, with the
complaints made about the injustice and
extortion practiced through what is called
the General Order" system at the port,
but few of them probably know just what
the General Order" system Is.
Previous TO 1854 merchants removed
their duitable goods, on the permit of the
Collector, directly from shipboard to their
own warehouses. In that year, however,
at the instance of the owners of the
Cunard line of steamers, who did not
wish to spare the time necessary for the
merchants to unload their eargoes, but
preferred to unload their vessels them
selves in order TO save time in port, Con-
gress passed an act sanctioning their prac-
tiee OF putting contract in their bill of
lading exempting them from responsible
ty for shipments after delivering them on
their docks at New York. As these goods
We're subject to duty, and as the Collector
was responsible for the duties after the
goods had been entered, it became neces-
sary to provide some place for their safe
keeping until their owners should take
Shem properly in charge, and out of this
necessity sprung the ware houses to which,
under general orders ut the port, all goods
are sent as soon as unlOaded from ships,
unless immediately taken out by their
owners.

who understands that now or never is the
time to record your vote and to speak up
against that waste Of the public means
which has been so perseveringly complain
ed OF tor years. Several important matters
are now before the Council for its decision.
ana now more than ever is it necessary that
the electors choose sensible, practical and
independent men, who. like those that
have Just left, will 90 in heart and soul for
such retrenchments as our times require.
who Will follow the example of those hon
orable members in not being cowed bv
any personal considerations. Let the cleo
TORS be careful not to spread their votes
on this or that individual whom they NAV
faYoor, but agree about e~lecting the best
man, tho man who will really and truly
represent them, and the wishes and desires
they have Tor years been entertaining. Let
those who are unwilling to sit in Council
nope they are not manv-bear in mind
that there will be but a short period to the
adoption OF the revised Colonial Law. when
there VIII be a new general election. Be
tore then they can, however, render the
community the greatest services bv pursu-
ing the policy of the honorable members
who have retired. | do not believe that f.
IN. Mr.. Latlmer intended anything else bv
his proposal for a reduction in the WAGES of
the Ietter-carrler than to impress on the
Government the necessity of the greatest
economy. He knew, of coulse, like every
body else that there was no majority in
favour OF his proposal in the Council, and
therefore his motion could have been made
Tor no other reason than the one mentioned.
Now, IN every other retrenchment except
that every body agreed with him and with
the other country members. They have
truly stood like a wall against that flood of
waste OF the public means which has been
allowed here too long. Governor Billie
said in the Council, in the last meeting.
that he did not believe it was public
opinion that the Vice Governors salary
should be $4,000 and no table money or
representation. | hope this election will
undecelve him as to that belief and several
others which he has expressed in the Coun-
cII, and will Shew him that the opinion
OF every independent voter in this commu-
NIFTY is, that great savings may be effected
IN the Governors salary and many other
salaries, and that there are other branches
OF the public service that have suffered bv
the waste that has been allowed, and that
there are taxes to be reduced-not "nossi-
bly" asGovernOr Billie says, but positive
Iy as tue taxpayers say.

on one OCCASION, in tho trial of very
important case before IL Georgia jury.
he. by some strange absence of mind.
got up and made o powerful speech
against his client, who was the plaintiff
IN the case. After he had spoken nearly
on hour, and was about to close. one of
his associate counsel whispered in his
ear that he had made mistake-that he
had spoken on the wrong side. For a
moment only, Toombs was perfectly
dumbfounded, and recovering immo.
dlately, he turned to the court and Jury,
and said: Nov, may it please the court,
ana you, gentlemen OF the jury, have,
IN my remarks hitherto, attempted to
give you all, and tho worry best, too, that
can be said on that side of the case, and
though it may appear at first blush a
very strong case, yet am confident, if
you will give mo your attention little
while longer, will be ablo to convince
you that, after all, my client, the plain
till, is entitled to verdict at your
hands" he then proceeded to over
turn every position previously taken by
him, exerting himself to the uttermost
OF his wounded ability to repair his mis-
take, and wound up with an appeal to
tho court and jury SO thrilling. that lie
carried them by storm and triumphantly
gained the case for his client.
