Messenger, formerly Of the Engleman
Line, staunch boat, built expressly for
the transit business, has been secured,
aud will arrive at this port III few days.
Other boats will be put on as they are
needed. Arrangements have also been
made for shipping goods from New
York, Boston and other eastern cities to
Sheboygan, and from Shebnygan to those
cities, at the same rates charged To and
from Milwaukee by the Detroit and Mil
waukee route.
This is not only good news to Sheboy-
gan, but to every city and village along
tie line of the Sheboygan and Fond du
Lac Railway, and, indeed, throughout
Northeastern and Northern Wisconsin.
The new route insures the people of this
part Of the state much cheaper, shorter
and better freight line between the East
and West than they have heretofore had.
And the new route bids fair to be we'll

SPRING CLEANING.
BIZ A. SUFFERER.

The melancholy days have come, the saddest
otthe year,
OF cleaning paint and scrubbing floors and
securing far and near;
Heaped in the corner OF the room the ancient
dirt lay quiet;
Nor rose up at the fathers tread, nor TO the
chiidren's riot;
But now the carpets all are up, and from the
staircase top,
The mistress calls to man and maid to WELD
the broom and mop.
Where are those rooms, those quiet rooms,
the house but now presented,
Wherein we dwelt, nor dreamed of dirt, so
cosy and cOntented
Alas they're turned all up side down, that
quiet suite OF rooms
With Stops, and Suds, and soap, and sand and
tubs and pals, and brooms,
Chairs, tables, stands are standing round at
skies and at s9vens,
While wife and housemaids fly about, like
meteOrs through the heavens.
The parlor and the chamber floors were
cleaned week ago
The carpet shook the windows washed as all
the neighbors know
But still the sanctum had escaped, the table
piled with books,
very looks
Till fell the woman on them all, as falls the
plague on men,
And then they banished all away, books,
paper, ink and pen.
And now, when comes the master home, as
come he must o. nights,
TO find all things are "set to wrongs' that
they have "set to rights"
When sound OF driving tacks is heard, tho
tn house is far from STILL
And carpet woman on the stairs, that hardin
ger of i'll
He looks for papers, books or bills, that al
were there before,
And signs to find then on the desk, or in the
drawer nc more.
And then he grimlv thinks of her, who SET
this fuss afoat,
And wishes she were out st sea, In very leaky
boat,
lie meets her at the parlor door, with hair
and cap awry,
With sleeves tucked up and broom in hand
defiance in her eye;
He feels quite small, and knows full well
there's nothing to be said
SO holds his tongue. and drinks his tea, and
sneaks away to bed.

HEAVEN.

Beyond these chilling winds and gloomJ
skies,
Beyond deaths cloudy portal,
There is land where beauty never dies,
And love becomes immortal.
land whose light is never dimmed by shade
Whose fields are ever Vernal
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms for aye, eternal.
We may not know how sweet the balmy air,
How bright and fair its flowers
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Through those enchanted bowers.
The city's shining towers we may not see,
With our dim earthly vision
For death, the silent warden, keeps the key
That opes those gates elysian.
But sometimes when adoWn the western sky.
The fiery sunset fingers.
Its golden gates swing inward noiselessly,
Unlocked by unseen fingers.
And while they stand moment half ajar,
CLEANS from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar,
Aac half reveal the story.

To PREPARE LIME WHIrEwAsH.-
Lime whitewash is made from lime wei
Stacked. Dissolve two pounds and hal
of alum in boiling water. and add it to
every pailful of whitewash. Lime
white wash should be used very thin, and
when it is sufficiently bound on the wall
by means of alum, two thin coats will
cover the work better; this may be used
for the first coat thinned with water.
Most wh;tewashers apply their wash too
thick, and do MOI mix proportionate
quantity of alum to bind it; consequently
the operation OF the brush rubs off the
first coat in various parts, and leaves an
uneven surface, and the original smooth
surface of the wall is entirely destroyed.

BE CAREFUL.

BE careful, We whose welded hearts
Are lovingly united;
BE headful lest an enemy
Steal on you uninvited!
A little, willy serpent form,
With graceful, Turing poses;
Or, coming in different guisc,
A thorn among the roses
Be careful, ye whose marriage bells
Now merrily are ringing
Be heedful of the bitter word.
The answer keen and singing,
The sharp retort, the angry eye
Its vivid lightning flashing
The rock on which so many hopes
Are daily, hourly dashing.
Bear and forbear p the only way
To tread LIES path together,
Then come, and welcome, shining sua,
Or come dark, cloudy weather.
TWO loving hearts dissolved in one.
That cannot live asurder,
Have put Loves golden armor on

NoN-ExPLosIvE Oms.-It is tavorite
device OF the gentry who sell "non-ex.
plosiye" oils to thrust a lighted match in
to a saucer of the oil, and when the
match goes out without igniting the OIL
to triumpnantly exclaim, There you see
it doesn't burn" This trick rarely fails
to impress the bystander; but it would
be well for intending purchasers to re-
member that the same thing may be done
with saucer filed with gasoline, or, for
that matter, with gunpowder. In fact 1t
is 20 test of the explosive qualities of tie
oil whatever. 1t is the vapor of coal oils
that explode, and not the oils them
selves.

a crea. unconven,ence.

The Post Office of this city does not accommo-
date our people as it should in the opinion OF very
many citizens. We refer to the closing OF the OIL
Il ,e on holidays. or days on which the masses OF
our citizens close their places of business and abb
stain fro I'M their daily occupation. Yesterday, Tor
instance, being thanksgiving. the Post Office was
closed at O'Clock. a. m, and no gentleman could
get his mail matter out of the Office after that hour
during the day, although all the important mails
arrive after that hour. This is certainly very
great Inconvenience, to say the least, and must be
felt by large number of our business men, The
Government certainly is able to pay clerk for
two or three hours service on such days. 1t was
formerly the custom to close the Office after the ar
rival and distribution of the mails in the morning,
and open it again in the evening. This allowed
those who anticipated letters and other mail mat
ter an opportunity to secure it. We hope We do
no injustice in making this statement we mean
none. and will make correction if We err.

Myste erIous Dlsappearances in New
York.

The citizens Of Gotham are becoming alarmed
at the frequent disappearance of persons in that
city from whom no tidings can be had. According
to the police records fiy-two persons have disap-
psared since last August. The World publishes a
list of the absentees, and says:
"Aftet calculating that four-fifths of those men,
toned are voluntary or compulsory absentees,
there remain ten or q dozen lives which have been
snuffed out most mysteriously, and whose manner
of passing away is jealously guarded as dread
secret by the river and the street. 1t is possible
that some of the persons mentioned may have re-
turned home, but the greatest care and scrutiny
have been observed in compiling the list and none
of the persons named as missing have been report
ed as "found" or s'returned."

Mr.. Froude Treated with indignity

The New York Evening Post says that a few
days since Mr.. Froude, who claims to be the friend
and champion of Ireland. was "hustled" by some
rude persons in New Haven, Connecticut and
more recent the servants in a private house in
Boston, at which he has been staying refused lon
ger to minister to the wants OF him whom they
class as "deiamer OF Ireland and lrishmen." y
This conduct toward MIR. Froude was referred to
and Denounced by Rev. Mr. Burke in his lecture
in New Yolk on Tuesday night. 1t was evidently
regretted by the Reverend defender Of the Irish and
Ireland, who accepted as truth the claim of Mr.
Froude that he was a friend both of the Irish and
Ireland The Irish, no doubt, think Mr.. Froude
has a strange way Of showing his friendship.

The French spoi,ation Claims.

large meeting OF bankers, merchants, :ne.
chanics, and others interested in pressing the
French spoiation claims, was held in Baltimore
on Monday evening. These claims arise out of
the seizure or distraction of over 1900 American
vessels valued, with their cargoes, at sl5,0o000o
or $40 000, ,OO0 prior to 1901, which depredations
were in retaliation for the refusal Of the United
States 10 be bound by treaty stipulations during
the struggle Of the colonies with Great Britain
These claims have been iayorably reported on by
forty committees; they have seven times passed
the Senate, and twice the house, and were vetoed
by Presidents Folk and Pierce. The meeting
passed resolutions urging the passage of the claims
during the coming session OF Congress.
