Mr.. Jackson 5. Schultz Of New York
who took charge of the American depart
ment of the Vienna Exposition upon Gen
Van Buren's removal, says the delays IL
arranging the machine department-the de
partment chiefly complained of-are du,
entirely to the delays of the Austrian Off
cials in making the necessary preliminaries
He says. Notwithstanding the contrary
representations. that the whole American
department will be in order, all the good
on exhibition and properly eataloguel be
fore any other nation. England not ex-
copied. Mr. Schultz adds that the Austrian
government should have taken one year
more to prepare for the exhibition, which
at present is decidedly half-baked affair.
A year ago the legislature of Connecti-
cut, following in the wake of Maine. Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island, abolished the
usury laws. During the last year, in con-
sequence Of the general stringency Of the
money market or for some other reason, the
rate of interest has risen in Connecticut,
and it has been hard lines for borrowers.
Some of the savings banks have notified
borrowers that their rates hereafter will be
higher. The people of Connecticut begin
accordingly to banker after those ancient
bits and brides for capitalists called usury
laws, which they threw overheard, a. they
now think a. little too hastily last year
Accordingly bill is now pending before
the Connecticut Legislature, looking to a
restoration of the old order of things, at
least as regards savings banks, which are
to be forbidden to charge more than seven
per cent. in future.

II. D. PARSONS,

"Uncie Tom" ia dead The kind and genial
spirit of one of the earliest settlers OF Old South
port has passed Onward, never to rturn. Mr..
Pa1sons, who w as W ell and widely known in this
section of the country, was born at Boston, Mass
in the year 1900. When he was about six years
Old his parents removed to Cazenovia, Madson
County, N. Y, and there Thomas l.ved unit 1856,
when he came west and settled at Southport on
the cyst day OF August of thab year. These are
the chief facts OF his life intervening between his
birth and removal to Wisconsin,.
The first job OF work done by the deceased was
for N r. Allen, ESQ in the erection of frame
building near where the planning mill now stands,
and from that fl 81 dal when he took up the ham.
mer and ;rork ed the fiji st frame building of the
village OF Southport to within few days OF his
death. he was persistent aborer. Mr.. Parsons
kept daily record, RAINING back to the irst day
at sou hnort and this lie really valuable treasure.
II is an evidence of the stability of the man, and
a comprehensive history of Kenosha from infancy
20 the present time. He was elected an Aid .rman
from his own ward three times, and enjoyed the
confidence of the people al large. But it was not
his administration of public atfaifs for which he
will lie remembered. plain humble man him
SELF he lived among the people, -he HUed FOR the
people During the first winter of living at South
port he literally assisted two families who would
have died nom starvation but for his timely ard
generous aid. tbs was an index to all his subse-
ouent life, He was always kind to others ,-even
cenying his own comfort to help the poor. This
was the glory OF his lire,-he lived that Others
might live. what glorious thing 1t is to hear the
pooI people of Kenosha exclaim "rJnc.e Tom
helped us in many ways; he never charged us
mors than could pay, and in many of our
slruggngs against poverty he has been near with
an open hand"
To him belongs the title. the Poor Mans Archi-
t.ct and to him belongs pisce In that Mansion
not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.
