LEE AND LoNGsTREEr.-A dispatch
from Mobile, Ala. to the New York
Herald, says that Brigadier General w.
n. Pendleton, Of the Army Of Northern
Virginia, and now pastor Of the Episco-
pal Church at Lexington, Va, during
his lecture on Gen. r. f. Lee, in that
city, made charge of inefliciency and
attributed the loss Of the battle of Get
tysburg by the Confederates to General
Longstreet. General Pendleton said
that, to his personal knowledge, derived
from Lees own lips, Longstreet had the
night before the battle received from
General Lee in person orders to advance
at the dawn Of the next morning; that
he General Pendleton) had made n re
connoisance in person, and declared to
General Lee the perfect practcability
of immediate assault upon the then un-
prepared enemy; how lie had waited
impatiently till twelve o'clock, how
Longstreet at that hour rode up to his
side and sat upon his horse, useless and
inactive, until 4 o'clock, i. NJ; then
when the head of his column did 90 in,
his soldiers were futile against the now
massed and concentrated enemy; and
still Robert T. Lee, General Pendleton
said, refused to lay the blame upon the
shoulders Of the man who had fought SO
often and so well for him.

How TO GET AL0NG.-DO not stop
to tell stories in business hours.
If you have a place Of business, be
round there when wanted.
No man can get rich by setting round
stores and saloons.
"Never fool" in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, liber-
ality and promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
know nothing of.
Never buy an article you donot need,
simply because it is cheap, and the man
who sells it will take it out in trade.
Trade in money.
Stop meddling in others affairs.
Strive to avoid hard words and per-
sonalities.
Do not kick every stone in the path.
More miles can be made in day by
going steadily onward.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as
his bond.
Aid, but never beg.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford, simply be-
cause it is fashionable.
Learn to say ''no." No necessity of
swapping it out dog fashion, but say it
firmly and respectfully.
Have but few confdants, the fewer
the better.
Use your own brains rather than that
of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Be vigilant.
Do not tattle.
Keep rather ahead than behind the
times.
Reader cut out this, and if there be
folly in the argument, let us know.

near-sigthed indianapolis woman patch
ed her husbands pants with cold
buckwheat cake that the children had
left in her work-basket, last week. The
color of the patchwork matched the
original trowsers, and as the cake was
tough, the mistake might have never
been discovered, but the old man got
caught in a shower 4 day or two after

felt the cold cake on his back, and
thinking it was spinal meningitis that
had cuIched him, set for doctor, who
soothed his fears; but he wants divorce.

Vice Presidents Vote.

1t has ever been matter of controver-
sary among many teachers whether or
not the Vice President votes in the mega
tive. Although many good teachers
whose opinion ON most subjects is taken
as authority tenaciously hold that he
can not SO vote, still a careful oonsidera-
ton, and thorough investigation of the
subject compe. us to render an opinion
otherwise. He both can and does vote
in the negative in cases of tie vote, when
he so wishes.
In the first place it is customary for
the presiding officer of alegislative body
or other public meeting to exercise his
choice In voting, when tie occurs
This choice is essential TO secure ener-
gy, faithfulness and responsibility ON
his part. He is always expected to vote
one way or the other, and is never pre-
vented u.1ess by some special provision
of the particular body over which he
presides. Some say that he must vote
and in the affirmative. By this compul-
sorry process, his vote would just as like
~ be given contrary to his truest con-
victions and best Judgment as in accor-
dance with them. His vote wonld be no
certain expression of his opinion This
would be decidedly destitute of fairness,
and full of injustice and wrong. There
could be no object in such requirement.,
for the decision In each case would in
variably be given beforehand. For the
same reason we would say that he is
compelled to vote no particular way, but
has an entire free choice in the matter.
Again, Townsend says, 1.-The Vice
Presidents vote can therefore be given
but to aid the Affirmative" On this
mainly our opponents build their argu-
ments, overlooking the word laid, which
Townsend does not italicise, or taking it
to mean the same as i'm" As here used,
voting to AID the Affirmative is very differ
emf from so6ng IN fba a@rwative. When

THE MAsoUERADE-The masquerade


The MAsoUERADE.-The masquerade
held on Tuesday night exceeded in its
successful result the highest expectation
of the most sapguine friends of the en-
terprise. The large hall was crowded,
as perhaps never before, with beautiful
and characteristic masks and delighted
spectators The music was excellent, as
it always is, under Prof Billings able
leadership. The Transforming fsats, of
the Sorceress were we'll executed and
highly interesting. The band of indians,
with Charley Karrofsky as their chief.
performed quite naturally. The fireworks
BY our pyrotechnic friend, Mr.. Merklin,
were highly effective. The presentation
to Mr.. Weiss. the worthy Secretary of
the Saengerbund, on his birthday. of
bouquet and plate filed with 43 lighted
candles, was very pleasantly done. and
the address, delivered in two languages
at once, by Mr.. Whitman, was full of
wit and point The best we noticed was,
that the presence of such a crowd on this
pleasant occasion, was the best evidence
that the fools are not all dead yet. The
supper and CO fee were as excellent and
as abundant as ever, under the manage
ment of Mrs Becker and the receipts of
the evening highly satisfactory and quite
a help to the treasury of the society.

New Railroad Project.

James Ludington kindly explained to
us yesterday afternoon his ideas of the
best project for a new line of railroad,
or rather, for piece of road to connect
two others. In few words, it is this
The Milwaukee and northern Railroad
is now completed to Menasha, where it
connects with the Wisconsin Central
Railway, which is completed to point
forty miles northwest of Stevens Point
on the little Eau PLANE river. From
thence to Augutta on the West Wiscon-
sin Railway, is forty miles, which piece
of road it is proposed to have built, and
when that forty miles of railroad is
constructed, Mr.. Ludington claims that
we shall have another, or third route,
from Milwaukee to st. Paul as short as
either of the other two the Chicago and
Northwestern railway or the Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railway. Mr.. Ludington
pointed out to us that in his opinion
Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Neenah, Apple
ton and Menasha, and all the towns on
the Fox River, would be interested in
such route. And further, Mr.. Luding-
ton thinks that Green Bay, Manitowoc
and Sheboygan would all be favorable to
the projected completion of the forty
miles mentioned, as it would give to the
country thro' which the road runs, and
from which it draws its produce, the
choice of all the markets mentioned.
1t is not impossible that before the
fight is over the Milwaukee and North
ern Railway may yet get the land grant.

DWELLINGS. There is nothing nor

DWELLINGS. There is nothing more
unequal to the demand in cur city, than
proper dwellings for new residents We
know of several families now living in
hotels and boarding houses, who would
be glad to 20 to house keeping. if they
could find home to suit them. This
condition of things will Of course greatly
increase 10 the spring, aud we fear that
the new buildings, now commenced, or
anticipated to be erected, are in no way
proportioned to the demand already ex-
listing, much less to that which is soon to
come. We hope our property owners
will find it to their interest, to invest
largely and as early as possible, in suita
BILE dwellings for our new corners.

There is a ship now sailing from Hol-
land, built in 1868, when the Prince of
Orange was fighting Philip II of Spain.
She was sailing to the Indies when the
Hollanders organized themselves into
the "Beggars of the Sea- and as q
prlvateersman earned reputation which
astonished the world. She passed the
Cape of Good Hope in October, 1864,
from Batavia for Holland, being then
294 years old. Another old ship is the
whaler Rousseau, one of Stephen Gil
rard's, built at Philadelphia in 1902,
and repaired recently at New Bedford.
Her planking was removed, the first
time IN seventy years. The hve-oak
timbers underneath were found as sound
as they we're the day they were first put
together.
