KENOSHA AND ROCKFORD
RAILROAD.

In the Fifteenth Annual Report of
the Trade and Commerce of MilWau-
kee, Secretary Langson thus speaks
Of the probable extension of the X.
&c r. r. r.:
can extension of the Kenosha and Rock
ford road of about Sc miles will make
chat piece of road, now comparatively
worthless, equal to any other part of it's
lines, by establishing a direct, unbroken
route from Milwaukee to Omaha, by which
shippers along its lines, in Iowa, can have
a choice, on equal terms, between the
markets of Milwaukee, and Chicago, thus
enabling the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway to compete more successfully
with rival lines extending to Chicago, for
the grain carrying trade of Central Iowa.
Every car that carries grain or other
produce from that region to Milwaukee,
nav be returned loaded with lumber or
merchandise. The new, extensive lum-
Der yards on the Kinnikinnic portion of
our harbor, directly through which the
Chicago and Northwestern road pas es,
will afford excellent facilities for handling
lumber rapidly and cheapy. This extern
ion, though not on the programme
or the present year, is indispensib to

roo anG ia more than likely to speedily

With view of giving shippers on all its

A. 3. Meacham, Chairman of the
Peace Commission to treat with the
Modocs, and who narrowly escaped
the fate of his associates, Gen. Candy
and DR.. Thomas, expresses no doubt
that the Modocs who participated in
the assassination will be convicted
and executed. The effect of virtu-
al acquittal or pardon after convic-
ton would be disastrous. With such
result before their eyes, the turbu-
lence of other tribes could not be re-
strained-while the men who massa-
cred the Modoc prisoners should be
hanged, Meacham thinks, on the same
gallows with the Indian murderers.
During the war, the Modocs killed
and wounded about 800 soldiers for
every warrior, their force at no time
numbering more than 65, and that
during the first three days fight this
band not only held out against 800
troops, armed with eveery appliance Of
modern warfare, but kept a passage
open for retreat, which even the
Warm Spring scouts could not close.
Meacham advises, that those not
guilty Of participation in the massacre
be remanded to their reservation. To
distribute them among other tribes
would be punishment to some only.
His idea of the best policy for the fu
ture is that all tribal lines be abolish.

a FEW THOUGHTS ON A GREAT
QUESTION. o@

Now that the farmers of this County
are coming together end are bringing
their influence to bear on monopolies,
and have initiated the work of mutual
improvement, we have few words to
say to them in quiet may, which We be-
lieve every thoughtful and honorable
minded man will give a candid considera-
ton. #aa5E @ -gte5e9
In the great reform movement upon
which you have entered, there are many
questions presented TO you that demand
earnest thought and thorough investiga-
ton There are powers ahead which
you Will 10 we'll to measure in advance
OF an actual contest, and which we shall
from time to time discuss. Your move
ment Is a necessity, and we expect you to
make noise, ALI great revolutions, from
which have been educed salutsry results,
have been accompanied by great, and,
what a: the time, appeared to be violent
and headlong actions. When people
oppressed, insulted, and spurned, break
away from oppression and face the COM
mon enemy, it is certainly very natural
to suppose that they will make stir.
UGreat evils ask great passions to redress them,
And wnlrlwinds fullest scatter pestilence."
The expressions To- which you have been
and are now subjected are great, utterly
antagonistic to the prosperity and happi'
ness of nation, and in direct opposition
to that rightful distribution of wealth so
essential to human progress and human
elevation. 20 that it ill becomes the
lszily gentle people to raise their voices
and protest against vehemence, when in
the very nature of things, it is impossi 7
BILE for you to heave from your lives the
oppression of monopoies, and dc it quiet
~. We expect then that you will agi.
tate, for agitation is needful If you do
not this, we expect your cause to sink
back into nothingness, AMI the reaction
will be terrible The more you agitate
the more you will accomplish, and the
sooner will those endorsements of
which you complain be driven as chaff
before the wind.
There is one feature to which your
special attention should be directed.
While you pursue undauntcdly your
cause as against interpretations, you will
perhaps see the need of caution in pur
chasing articles necessary to life away
from nome. Naturally enough you will
have sense of independence, but eau
you afford to pass by local dealers and
spend your money fifty miles away from
home? After you have purchased a
stock Of groceries in Chicago, and look
with satisfaction on the barrel full Of
sugar or the chest of tea, the fact will
remain, that the same quantity Of goods
could have been bought in Kenosha for
The same amount Of money. OF this we
are assured by one of the heaviest dealers
in groceries in the city. War against
home Dealers in this case, will be war
against truth, and will result in tho con
frmation of such truth. We therefore
having the welfare OF all the varied in
terests at heart, urge you to try our home
merchants.

INDEPENDENT MENDACITY

The gross charges of drunkenness
that have been repeatedly made
against President Grant and vehe-
mently proclaimed through the col
umns of the Enlightened" lndepend-
ent journals Of the West, since the
Presidents visit to Chicago and &C.
neva, and that have been given a
place in the frothy columns of the
Union, a paper printed in this city,
have now been thoroughly exposed.
The indianapolis Daily Sentinel of the
10 or 18th inst. made the following
statement eGitorially:
In Chicago the Presid ent attempted o
receive the guests at a reception given him
at the Pullmans. He was so laden with
liquor that he could not recognize friend

stood by tie guests that the ladies were
forced to keep away from him. This is no
hearsay. The d,sgraceful and humiiating
fact can be and Is attested by hundreds of
the best citizens Of Chicago, and even
Mayor Mediil, who has always champion
ed the President, was forced to admit hi s
gross misconduct.
To tnls distinct assertion that be knew
of, and had confessed to President Grants
"gross misconduct" Mr.. Medll address ed
the following note to the editor of the
Indianapolis J0"raGl:
MAYORS OFFICE.
Chicago, June Is, 1878.
To the Editor Of the Journal:
DEAR SIR: I have your letter of the
18th INST, calling my attention to the sew
eral charges made in the Sentinel against
President Grant while he was IN Chicago,
and asking me whether I have personal
knowledge of the same being true In
reply, / would state that the charges, so
far as / know,are untrue. | saw the Pres.
ldeat every day he WAS IN our city, alone,
or in company with other citizens, and
can certify that he was not intoxicated,or
under the influence of liqu or to my knowl
edge. The statement that was "forced
to admit his gross m misconduct" is grossly
false. If the President had been in the
condition alleged, / should be apt to know
1t, and if did, should certainly neither
deny nor conceal the fact.

The doubts about the part the German
Government means to play in the next
Conclave have at last been authoritively
settled. Prince Bismarck declared the
Their day in the Imperia' Parliament that
the Berlin Cabinet will preserve strictly
neutral attitude during the Papal election,
though it reserves to itself the rIgat to
pronounce upon the legality of the choice.
This is, nquestionably, the true policy.
If any interference takes place it should
come from italy, the country most direct"
ly interested ia the choice of Pho Mono
successor. Were German influence to de
eide the question a new weapon might
be furnished TO the Ultramontanes, whose
cue it is to represent themselves the VIC
TINS of persecution. At the same ime
the menace implied in Bismarck's reser-
vation will, no doubt, morally strength en-
the moderate party in the College of Car
dinals.

The Rattlesnake's Rattle.

In the American Naturalist, Prof. Sam
uel Aughey gives the results of his obser-
yations upon the use made of their rattles
by the ratt,esnake. 1t Is the vulgar opin-
ion that the reptile sounds his rattle for
the purpose of enticing birds, and some
naturalists even are disposed to find here
a mimicry of the sound made by the So
called locust, or cicada. Prof. Aughey
does not undertake to explain all the pur-
poses served by the rattle, but he fully
agrees with Mr.. F. w. Putnam in reject
ing this mimetic theory. Does the rattle.
then, serve any useful purpose? In reply
to this question, the author tells us what
he has himself observed. In July, 1859,
he was in Wayne County, Nebraska, and,
as he was one day investigating the natu-
raj history of that district, he heard the
familiar rattle of the snake. The SOUND
was repeated at intervals, and proceeded
from a rattlesnake that was calling its
mate. which soon came in answer to the
summons. Prof. Aughey had similar
experience the following year, and from
these facts he is disposed tn think that the
purpose served by the rattle is to call the
sexes together.
Another purpose may be to paralyze Its
victims with fright, and to inspire its nat
| ural enemies with terror. AS an illustra
ton of the use of the rattle for the former
purpose, the author says that, as he fol
lowed through the woods of Dakoti
County, Nebraska, Baltimore oriole, he
heard a rattle, and at once saw the bird
as it were paralyzed with fear. AMI ready
to fall a prey to the serpent. The writer
shot the rattlesnake. He adds that hi
once witnessed an attack of seven hogs OF
a rattlesnake. Soon after the battle open
ed. the snake ratified, and three other'
came to his aid. But the hogs were vic
torious i'm few minutes.

Cheerful Predictions.

DIR. r. Il. Trail, in the Philadelphia
Star, is very cheerful prophet. He says
we are approaching the climax Of a pes
tilential period. From 1880 to 1885 the
planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Nep-
tune will approach the earth nearer than
they have been for eighteen hundred
years. Whenever any one OF the four
have come near enough for us to feel its
influence, pestilence, famine, and ex-
tremes of heat and cold have been found
the result. Now, we are to have the in
fiuence of the four combined, and he pre-
di It's that i'm seven years from now all
manner of evil which grows out of at
mospheric changes will be upon us. TC
lessen this calamity, the world is urged tc
use the stricrest sanitary measures, anc
by health ami cleanliness counterfeit the
effects of our unwelcome neighbors. The
world is so much better able to care for 1t
self than it was two or three hundred
yea,s ago, that by care we may aver
much of the danger. To the following
classes he gives very cold comfort: "Th'
dissipated, the glutton, the debauche'
may calculate on being among the firs
victims. Young men who devitaliz
themselves by using tobacco, Dung ladie
who destroy one half of their breathing
capacity by fashionable dress and figh
laciug. will never survive the perihelioI
of ali the large planets of the solar system
and perhaps it will be best that the.
should not"

A Poison. Proof Bird.

A correspondent of Science Gossip tells
of an attempt to capture a specimen OF
the scayenger-b or 'adjutant," of India,
in which he failed in most unexpected
way. On account Of its valuable services
in clearing the streets of decaying and
putrid matter, the bird is held in high es-
teem by the natives, who take every pre-
caution to protect 1t from harm. This
prevented an open attack, and poison was
the only alternative. The carcass of a
partially-dissected bat was stuffed wi h
enough arsenicai paste and corrosive sub
Innate to kill twenty men, and the titbit
thrown to a flock of the birds near by.
One of them swallowed the whole of it at
a gulp, and our student in comparative
anatomy thought his game secure. But,
though closely watched for three hours,
not the slightest sign of uneasiness was
manifested. and at the end of this time the
creature flew away with its fellows, APP
parently as well as the best Of them. The
accustomed naunts of the flock were az
terward carefully searched, but no trace
could be found of the dead body wanted
and it was concluded that, unlike Other
gormands, this one was not to be easily
got at through his stomach.

TRANSMISSION Of Blood.

s'The first trial, of TRANSMISSION of blood
ever made" Denis says, "was made on
young man, fifteen or sixteen years old.
This youth was attacked by a slow fever,
for which the doctors had bled him twen-
ty times. He had become dull and sleepy,
from the treatment, to the point OF stu
pidity. Some little warmth was felt dur
ing the operation. Eight ounces of blood
were taken from him, and arterial blood
from the carotid of a lamb was Immediate
ly introduced by the same opening. He
got up about {, n O'Clock, dined with ex-
cellent appetite, and went to sleep at four
in the afternoon. He bleed slightly from
the nose"
The operation having succeeded, Denis
tried second, but more from curiosity
than necessity this time. The author re-
lates it himself as cOncisely as before.
''The TRANSMISSION was effected upon a
chair-porter, ofvigorous constitution, for.
ty-five years old. Ten ounces OF blood
were taken from him, and lambs blood
substituted. The man complained OF no
pain during the operation, and was de-
lighted beyond measure with the new In
vention, which seemed to him very ingen.
ious. When it was all over, he declared
that he never felt better. Employment

he begged that no one but himself might
be taken as subject for new experiments. y
Three years before, TRANSMISSION of blood
had been practiced by Lower in England,
but only on dogs. Denis repeated with
these animals the experiments he had
made on men. These were varied In the
most interesting ways. He not only
transfused the Blood Of one animal into
the veins of another; but from the Sth to
the l4th of March, in 1867, he caused the
same blood to pass into three different
dogs successfully. Granting the correct
ness of the views then prevalent, he then
realized the famous Pythagorean fable OF
the transmigra' ion If souls. The expert.
men'er was also bent no making his dis
coyeries generally known, proposing to
make trials i'm public, and, for this pur.
pose, he fixed for the first day of his lee
