Henry Ward Beecher's lectures
to Yale Students, published in the
Christian Union are so readable that
we wonder that the whole world don't
read them. and we guess that about
half of it does. They are just ''splen-
did" The Union has something near
a hundred and fifty subscribers in
Wood County. so we know not few
will have digested many good feast.

The Inter Occdn says =
The millennium of physic approach
es, and we hail the coming of that day
when colchicum shall be known no
more, and castor oil flow down our
streets, even as a barrel of wickedest
man whiskey. An English doctor
says that asparagus can be cured with
rheumatismy or rather that eott can be
cured with asparagus. Only a short
time since a man cured the same dis
ease by putting the feet of his bed in
to old glass bottles, trying to deceive
the poor craturs into the belief that
they were bathing in gouts of port
wine and other infammatory liquids
Headaches are now durable by celery,
catarrhs by quail on toast, toothache
SINNERS before a mild Havana, and,
according to the most learned author
ity, there is a virtue in oatmeal I'M
known to the Duke Of Argyle, and

The Inter Ocean tells how the
Iowa women won victory. Perhaps
our women may take lesson from
their sisters in Iowa.
The women of o town in Iowa have
set an example which should not be
without its effect on their sisters in
Ohio and Indiana, who are just now
fighting SO desperately against the liq-
uor traffic. The city election being
about to come off, the women of the
town of Atlantic, in the State first
named, put temperance ticket in the
field, the candidates being pledged to
grant no licenses to saloons. Having
done this they went about getting
pledges from the veters to support
their ticket, until they had secured a
majority. And they didn't stop here.
On the day of election they secured a
band, and, while they peddled votes,
the band blew away at airs like -
There's nothing so cool
For the youthful blood
As the pure an / sparkling water -
So they labored till evening, and, when
the votes were counted, the ladies
ticket was elected by fifty majority.
The 'sPhilharmonies' Of Green
Bay propose repeating Belshazzar in a
few weeks. Tie exact time Of its rem
dering has not as yet been decided upon,
The Green Bay papers viii communi-
choose to attend to so arrange mat
ters as to enjoy trip to the Bay, and
witness this; the most beautiful and
sublime cantata in the musical cata-
loeue. We publish elsewhere notice
from the AdUocafe relative thereto.
Mr.. Mellen has signifed a Willingness
to furnish tickets at special rates to
those who choose to attend; and we
doubt not that goodly number viii

portunity. Let us hear What Mr.;
Mellen will do for us, and then we can
tell what We can do for the Company,
the Philharmonic, and the Hotels.
1t is amusing to observe the Ste
vens Point Pinery bow and courtesy to
it's reform Governor, when if it could
get behind bis back it would be most
happy to kick him out Of the guberna-
torial easy chair. The Pinery well
knows that that certificate business has
lost to its city forever the ''air line or
'rams horn" or any other line Of road
to Portage City, but it must not say so.
neither must it say ought against its
