POSTAGE ON NEWSPAPERS.

The law requiring the payment OF postage on
newspapers from and after the Both of June 1873
is now in operation and postage must be pad ON
ali papers passing through the pOstOfce. The post
age N newspapers published weekly, is I'VE cen 8
aquarter in advance. The postage ON daily paper.
is thirty or thi ty five cents quarter in advance
depending on whether published six or seven avs
in the week, The postage on all newspapers to
subscriber and exchanges may be paid either
where mailed or delivered. The postage on all
transcient papers must, as heretofore, be paid in
advance.
With the present number Of tie TELEGRAPH
postage will have to be paid whether in or out OF
the county. We mail the paper to our subscribe p
as usual, as we believe it TO be the proper Sc
to pursHe. The postage TO each subscriber will
be cents quarter, payable In advance, amount
Ing to 20 cents year. We believe our
uhsClibers will prefer to pay postage on
their own papers rather than to have us pay it
and then raise the price of our paper more than
double the amount OF the postage as some p n
fishers do VI theirs. And we believe they will be
satisfied with the course we pursue and Will cheer

We are informed of the death of
Hiram Powers, which occurred Fri
day, at Florence, Italy. This distin-
guished American sculptor was born
in 1905, at Woodstock, Vermont.
Being left in straitened circumstan-
ces on the death of his father, vino
was. a small farmer, he was obliged to
resort to his own industry for support.
He engaged in various employments,
and at length had the good fortune to
make the acquaintance of foreign
artist; and having from his youth
manifested an aptitude for drawing,
he soon acquired from his tutor the
art of modelling in plaster. He sub
sequently procured employment in the
Cincinnati Museum, as a modeIler in
wax; and while thus engaged, he Gull
tivated his artistic faculties with such
assiduity and success that in 1885 he
was enabled to establish himself in
Washington as modeller of busts.
In 1887 he gratifed a long cher
ished desire Of going to Italy,in which
field of art his progress toward emil
nence was very rapid. An Eve, in
marble, was the first work by which
he acquired fame. His Greek Slave
was next produced, and in 1851 was
placed on exhibition in London, in
the great exposition, where it won its
author remarkable distinction and
popularity. His fame then became
European, and he was everywhere
recognized as o distinguished repre-
sentation of American art. He has
since produced several knoted works,
among them being number of por-
trait-busts of our eminent statesmen
and scholars. But recently Bayard
Taylor wrote to the New York Trib-
une as follows: "Powers has made
no new ideal figure since the Indian
Girl-the Last of the Race,-but
many admirable busts testify that
his eye has not lost it's clear percep
ton Of character nor his hand its for
mer cunning" His disease was
bronchial affection, in consequence O
which he has been an invalid for tn,
last eighteen months, and obliged t.
almost entirely suspend active artist,
work.

The act introduced at the last ses-
sion OF Congress to reduce the post
age on domestic mail letters to cents
per half ounce, or fraction thereof,did
not become law, although such an
impression seems to prevail to a con-
siderable extent.
To avoid the consequences Of such
misrepresentation, the public is in.
formed that no law exists reducing
the postage ON domestic letters below
the present rates, viz: Mail letters,
cents per rate of J o., or fraction ;
drop letters, at carrier offices,2 cents
per J or, or fraction, and at other
than carrier offices, l cent per } o.,
or fraction. The only material chang
es,in regard to postage under the late
law, are the abolition Of the franklne
privilege, the cutting off the free
transmission Of exchanges between
publishers, and of weekly newspapers
sent to subscribers within the county
where published, to take effect on the
first Of July next.-Postal Record.

SCHOOL BOOKS-A LOCAL
M MATTER. o

We suppose there are but few
people in Kenosha who would object
to changes being made in the School
Books,if they were satisfied that such
changes would result in benefit to
their children. Every teacher, prin-
cipal, school commissioner or super
intendent should see to it that the
best books are used in our public
schools. This is the duty of those
officials. And every parent who
would fit out his child for a useful
manhood must furnish the best facili-
ties for an education. While the
people generally respond with hearty
amen to what we have said, they
feel aggrieved by the two frequent
change of books In our schools.
There should be moderation in all
things. Changes they expect at
times, and would think but little of q
Board that never made any, but they
object to several changes in year,
and think little of Board that is al
ways on change. We have heard
complaints made during the, past
week, change having been recently
ordered by the School Board, and
while we should, in considering the
fact of our free school system, depre-
cate in every instance niggardly
public, we should also declare against
an unnecessary profusion of books.
We are informed that the Superin-
tendent and Principal have, during
the school year just closed, made
changes in the school books. Now
there is no question about the sound
judgment of these individuals in such
matters, but perhaps they do not ap-
preciate the shrunken wallets of the
poor man. 1t is the expense of which
the people complain, and while we do
not believe that the expenses in a |
year will ''break" any man, the fact
remains that changes are becoming
more and more frequent. We think
that in justice to themselves and in
behalf of the cause that we know
they have at heart, the School Board
should make a statement of facts
that will set the people right on this
matter. To those who complain we
have to say that the expenses of edu-
eating their children must increase.
We have passed through the days of
old fogyism, and pray a continued |
deliverance therefrom. Your chill
dren at school in 1878 are receiving
better education than did your chill
dren at school in 1868. This is a
fact. And SO we shall progress. You
look after the bodies and the morals |
of your children, and, if you choose,
leave the intellect to the teacher, and
when they are men and women you
will never murmur at the erpe7ose.
The world wants men and they must
be educated.
