How Not to Do It.


Many OF our readers will remember
Dean Swift's story OF the Frlar who m

in the seat, which he regarded as the
perfection of propltiatory tortsre. and
its use as the sole test OF plety. What
ever good deed was ascribed to any one,
was always met by tae question II he

no virtue IN the man who did not do
penance IN the precise form prescribed
for hin. We have been frequently re-
minded OF this story by our own expert
ence with like zealots, for presuning to
attempt any measure for the improve
ment or protection of public morals in
any other manner than by their pre-
scribed formula. They deny our right
either to worship God. advocate public
morals or denounce lawlessness and IL

Mr.. Peter Craig. San Francisco un-
dertaker, claims the discovery of a new
method of preventing the decomposition
of corpses. Believing that oxygen was
the destroying element, he experiment
ed with an air-tight burial casket, rely
ing upon burning candle placed with
in to consume the oxygen. He found
that after the lid was screwed down air
tight, the oxygen in an empty casket
would support combustion eight hours,
but that when a corpse was enclosed,
the candle would use up all the oxygen
in five hours, and that the body in the
casket thus exhausted showed no signs
of decomposition after the lapse Of sew

Our streets are beginning to assume more bus
mess like aspect. as the farmers hsye commence
threshing their grain and running 1t into market.
No port on the lake affords better market f. +
barley than Kenosha; and oats are shipped to the
lumber regions in large quantities. We regret,
however, the want of a better wheat market, but
We learn that negotiations are pending for so me
new arrangements In that line, which, we sincere
ly hope may prove successful. Just at present,
the Flax seed market seems to be the most active,
but desperate efforts arc being made to draw the
trade to Racine which legitimatey belongs to
this place. and runners travelling this county
for that purpose. We are happy to say, however,
that our buyers declare they will not be out-6id,
but will pay as high as tbs highest.
Last fall, parties in theinterest of Racine. were
travelling this County contracting with farmers
for their seed, and representing that they would
pay five cents per bushel higher than this market,
when the facts were that on the same ddyG, our
buyers were paying five cents higher than farm
era were contracting for at home.
We would avdise farmers 10 keep thoroughly
posted, as prices fuc uate from day to day, when
re market is unduly excited, and there can be
no safer way than to come into town for that put
pose before contracting elsewhere. We assure
our County farmers that they can labor under no
greater deusion than to get the idea that they
must hual their seed to Racine or elsewhere in
order torealize the highest price.

THE RELIGIOUS QUESTION IN
GERMANY.

During the last few months it has
been repeatedly stated that the Ber-
lin Government would be glad to eff
feet such compromise with Rome
as would enable it to retreat with
honor from the position which the
passage Of DR.. Falk's famous relig-
ious bills has, in manner, compelled
it to assume toward the Roman Cath
Ole hierarchy. This change was
generally attributed to the reluctance
which the Emperor William lover
whose mind the well-known religious
views of the Empress Augusta are
said to exercise great infuence) has
lately manifested against the Church.
But the stringent measures which the
imperial authorities have within the
past week adopted to vindicate the
State authority in the Prussian part
of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Posen,
may be regarded as a conclusive ref
utation of these stories. First they
suppressed Roman Catholic semi
nary and next they fined the Arch
bishop of the province, Monseigneur
Ledochowski, for having failed to an
swer a summons before the civil tri-
bunals. Considering the fact that
the Archbishop is personal favorite
at the Court of Berlin, and protegeI
of the Empress Augusta, it is safe to
infer that there will be no surrender
of the temporal to the spiritual pow
er in Germany. The course pursued
by the imperial government toward
the Polish Catholics also refutes an
other rumor-that Prince Bismarck |
and hlsmaster have become estranged
on account of the religious question.

EDITOR KENosHA TELEGRAPH
DEAR SIR: / desire to thank you
for the generous compliments you be.
stow upon me in your issue of the
21st inst. /; and also to say something
of the criticisms therein contained.
AS to the word "livid" in The
Pilot" I confess that / was in error
as to the true meaning, Ny thought
was 'bloodless' instead of "lsv;d."
AS to the word "gnGaOs" the error
is yours and not mine. In the t'Sen-
tiney where the poem was originally
published the word appears in very
plain type ''gea,Os" and not "knawI"
as you have it.
AS to "1'Se Little Bugler," your
criticism is against history. That
the 6a4g1er and horn both were pierced
with bullets you will see from the fol-
lowing language of an eye witness,
Maj. Millinockett, who visited the
battle field on the morning after the
battle.
Gail over that little hill the graves
were as thick as leaves upon the
earth at autumn. But what is this
handful of earth, close to the edge of
the ditch where the rebel tigers lay
hidden? Yes,it was the grave of the
little bugler boy; and from the fresh
mound of earth which was scarcely
larger than your two hands, peered
a little foot, still covered by its tiny
shoe. in mockery of it's half Christian
burial. Beside the clump of sods, a
stick had been thrust down into the
earth, and from its top some kind
hearted rebel had suspended the bat.
tered bugle, ,Ohich had been pierced
6y q dozen bullets"
AS to "Joh,s Maynard" and "7He
Little Bugler" living in fact as well
as in fame / certainly do not object
or demur, but, as I am not good at
rhyming morals have thought best
to leave something for reflective peo-
pie, like yourself, to think out, each
in their own way. Either of them
is but text, which thinking people
will more or less elaborate into SER
mons or epics, with the right morals,
properly drawn.
"The Little Bugler," was written
at the request of musical friend
who wanted short, comprehensive
ballad to set to music. In writing it |
l attempted to achieve the merit Of
brevity,and I do not see how could
tell SO much Of the story in fewer
words. Yours &C.,

The steamer George G. Wolf was
blown up at st. Francis Island, in the
Mississippi River, Aug. 20. The death
roll numbers fourteen, with long list of
wounded, among them several who will
probably die. The spot where the disas.
ter occurred is known as the Grave
yard among steamboat men, for near
there two other steamers have been blown
up and one burned. The wounded are
at Helena, Ark. Among the killed were
seven coi0red roustabouts. Of the officers
of the boat none were killed except the
second engineer.

KENOSHA COUNTY FAIR.

The 23d Annual Fair of the Kerosha
County Agricultural Society will be held
at the Fair Grounds in Bristol on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday, the 10Th,
17th and 18th of September. We are in.
formed that the farmers Of this county
are becoming awake to their interest
and are intending to make an effort to
raise the Fair to what it should be as a
representative of the Agricultural inter
ests of Kenosha County. Aud we have
reason to believe that the people of This
city will join the farmers and people of
the country in efforts to make the Fairs of
Kenosha County fair representatives of
the Agricultural, horticultural, mechani.
cal, commercial and artistic interests Of
the county.
The officers of the Society are active y
to work In making arrangements for the
coming Fair, and are expecting a larger
and better exhibition, more genera
and interested attendance, and larger
financial prosperity than Tor some years
heretofore. And if the people generally
will Join the officers in their efforts the
coming Fair will be great improvement
upon the last, and may become fully
equal to the best of the heretofore Keno
sha County Agricultural Fairs. Unity
eff purpose ard energy of action may
make the coming Fair and especially
future FAIRS of Kenosha County equal to
the best County Fairs of Wisconsin.

that be will be fully acquitted:

some hours before the origin of it was

from tie iloor-and in between the stud

holes in which a candle or candles had

was evidently the design of the perpe-
traitor that the thing should not have gone
off until some time in the night, but the
heat OF the candle being confined between
the clapboards and the plasteriny it
melted and burned much more rapidly
than 1t was calculated it would do. The
ciapboard that had been removed was a
piece that extended between three Of the
