SENT TO STATE PRISON.

Peter Wagner, the young man who was ar

Jail for shooting with revolver at party OF
men in June last, was on Tuesday sentenced
to nine N nths Imprisonment at Waupun
We hope this case will be lesson to other

ing concealed weapons, and there are score
in the city who think it manly to have a
pocket filled with pistols On the contrary
1t is neither manly nor necessary. We in
Kenosha are not Mo1ocs. The Inconvenience
of frontier life have fed from our doors, and
just in proportion as we have advanced in
the scale of civilization do we value a mans
life. The boys, at least the thoughtless por-
tion of them,-must remember that this
community, through its courts, will visit
their offences with the severest punishment
Of the law.

1t has generally been reporte | that
the number of Americans gone to
Europe is much greater this year
than ever before but a table prepar-
ed, showing the arrivals and depar-
lures from New York during three
months past, sums up a total of 1872
trips and 1888 passengers, while for
the same number of trips for the
same months Of last year the number
was 1898, much smaller difference
than has been generally supposed. 1t
is probable that the other principal
ports will compare in about the same
ratio.

QUICK TIME FROM EUROPE.

1t is worthy of note that our importers
are now laying down goods in Chicago. via
Montreal in twenty days from Liverpool
Last year the average time was about
thirty days; but this year, with greatly
improved facilities for transhipment at
Montreal, the time has been greatly
reduced. Twenty days is less than the
average via New York. This gives to the
merchants of Chicago a considerable
advantage over those of the seaboard
cities in competing for the fine jobbing
trade of the Northwest.
The construction of the proposed
doubletrack freight railway from Chicago
to New York is Of more vital consequ
ence to the latter city than to US, for the
canal system of the Montreal route is sure
eventually to be completed. When that
day comes, in the absence of any i'm
provement in the present modes of com
munication between the West and theEast
not only fill all foreign goods come direct
to our wharves, but the grain destined
for Europe will go via Montreal. New
York cannot afford thus to let her scepter
depart from her, and hence the recent
cotton Of her merchants on the subjeC
of the double-track freight railway

A new but by no means pleasant kind

A new but by no means pleasant kind
of bouquet has recently been invented in
Palermo. Signora l., a most beauti-
full woman, besides being an accomplished
priBa donna, had turned the heads of half
the male population of the place. Among
others madly in love with her was Ger
tain Count. But the lady would have
nothing to say to him, and the hot-blooied
Italian resolved to be revenged. One
evening the lady ws announced to play
Leonore in al Trovatore." When she
had concluded her grand air large bou-
quet was flung at her feet. She darted
forward to pick it up, when suddenly she
heard loud report and felt bullet whistle
close past her head. Of course she in
stantly tainted, and a general scene o,
commotion ensued. The bouquet was sub
sequently examined In it was discover
ed a revolver with the muzzle turned up
wards, and the trigger SO placed that the
weapon must go off on any persons grasp
ing the stem of the nosegay. Had the
lady bent forward a little more. she would
inevitably have fallen a victim to this
most dastardly plan for revenge, plant of
which the Count proved to be the author.
The police were Immediately set upon his
track, but as yet their efforts have not
been crowned with success. This is the
fate, however, which awaits the efforts
of the police in other countries besides
Italy. Meanwhile, the lady is greater
favorite than ever.

A New INVENTION IN TELRGRApHY.-
When Sir William Thomson invented hi.
rejecting galvanometer,a and showed its use
fulness for telegraphic purposes, he insured
the success of un-dersea cables, whatever
their length. With this instrument, the
movements of the little reflector enable
the clerk to read off the message by care
full watching. But recently Sir William
Thomson has invented an instrument-the
patent sipbon recorder-which, as Its name
indicates, writes or records the message,
as received. on strip of paper. 1t is an
essential condition of such an instrument
that it shall be very light; and the siphon,
in this case, made of capillary tubing. is
not thicker than horse-hair. Indeed,
so small is the bore, that the ink will not
flow therein of itself, but squirts out
when electrified, The siphon is connected
with coil of copper wire, an electromag-
net, and an ebonite disk, armed with
pieces of soft iron, which, being attached
by the magnet, is kept rotating, and reg
ulates the current flowing from the battery
and the cable. Acted on by this current.
the ink, as already stated, squirts from the
siphon and writes succession of dots and
dashes, which represent the letters of the
alphabet. To an unaccustomed eye the
writing is confused, unmeaning scribble
but good telegraph clerk will read it off
as it were ordinary writing. Thus a
message will now, SO to speak, deliver
itself from the other side of the ocean,
thousands of miles distant and telegraphy
has achieved another trinmph.

So she wearily unbraided her hair, and
knelt down by the bedside, and asked of God
New Years gift-for that other one
whom she had lost, and for herself. She
asked piteously for the gift of peace, and
then she went to sleep.
The holiday time passed away. Weeks
and weeks followed in it's train. The young
man was as a g little child" inasmuch as he
was learning the alphabet Of spiritual life.
He was learning the mastery of soul over
self.
At length one day note passed through
the mail. These were the words:
Dear Sorceress III come and lay a
true purpose in your palm, will you tell my
fortune for me p
The answer was this
Come
He went, and the fortune was told-just
asd many and many fortune is told in this
worlj. 1t was a sweet but a sacred little
scene, SO let us not curiously peer into it.
just in the dusk of the next New Year 9
eve, again two persons stood by a window
looking out upon the night. The sn ,wfakes
were falling, and one by one the lamps were
lighted. Now it was man and woman side
by side. Two hearts had come together,
and about them had gathered the mysterious
| atmosphere We call home.
She said: "After all, Charley, holidays
