"Too Poor to take a Paper"

Moore, of the Rural Ne,o Yorker,
was sitting in his Office one afternoon
some years ago, when farmer friend
came in and said: "Mr. Moore, I like
your paper, but times are hard l can
not pay for it."
els that so, friend Jones? I'm sorry
to hear that you are SO poor; if you are
so hard run | will give you my paper"
30, no, can't take it as a gift"
"Well, then, let's see how we can
fix it. You raise chickens, I believe p
Yes, a few; but they don't bring
anything hardly"
"Don't they? Neither does my paper
cost anything hardly. Now, [ have a
proposition to make to you, | will con-
tinae your paper, and when you go
home you may select from your lot
one hen and call her mine. Take
good care of her and bring me the
proceeds, whether in eggs or in chick
ems, and we will call it square.'
"All right, brother Moore, and the
fellow chuckeled at what he thought a
capital bargain. He kept the contract
strictly, and at the end of the year found
that he had paid about four prices for
his paper. He often tells the joke
himself, and he never had the face to
say he was too poor to take a paper
since that day.-Model Farm er.

The Milwaukee Sentinel 'sgoes for
the ladies, false hair as follows:

tue laulee, laiSc Hall ao iOlioWs.
We take great delight in looking
at fashion plates, especially those por-
traying those marvellous structures
which envelope the female form. Take
them year after year, and they exhibit
as many surprises and changes as pam
Drama, though they repeat themselves
occasionally. The subject is too vast
to be comprehended in newspaper ar
ticle; but we have remark to make
about the hair that may cause shock,
but will command attention. There is
something very foolish in goin gto a
hair-dealer, and buying several switch
es, coiling them up as graceful as may
be on the female head (supposing the
forehead to be pointed to the north },
so that each individual wears young
tower of Pisa, and then surrounding
that tower with promontery Of hat
that has no connection, either actual or
prospective, with the head proper. If
the object is to save the switches, we
have nothing further to say; but if the
object is to save the head, we earnest
ly recommend the substitution of small
balloons, which will relieve it from the
weight of jute and hair that other peo-
pie have got through with, and which
nature never designed it to carry. One

TIE last words of the great Senator

THE last words of the great Senator
Charles Sumner were, "Take careiof my
civil rights BILL" There was and is
now man in the United States Senate,
to W HON the nation instinctively turn
cd as the champion of the measure.
The thunder of his eloquence was ex-
pected to be heard in behalfof it; for he
was the most intimate friend and the
greatest admirer of Chas. Sumner in
the land; when they laid him to rest, he
was one of the chosen ones to perform
the last Office of respect. He deliver
ed an eulogy in Boston that was worthy
the man he eulogized, and credit to
the great talents he possesses; and
then he stopped. He has had nothing
TO say in defense of the measure, and
when it came to a vote, he absolute
ly lodged. Think of that, and weep
over these degenerate days.
The man referred to is Carl Schurz.
He is Senator from a Democratic
State, and vote or word in favor of
civil rights to the colored man, would
blast his prospects of reelection. He
is more interested in Carl Schurz than
he is in the civil rights bill, or any
other man. This is all right; but we
hope we have heard the last of his
Platonic love for Sumner. Racine

THE Mineral Point Democrat hav-

THE Mineral Point Democrat hav-
ing been mourn -ag many days because
the s.Republican Senate killed the
bill increasing the tax on railroads to
five per cent. of their gross earnings,
we publish the following for its conso-
lation, knowing that when the DEM
ocrot learns that the bill was killed
by "Reform' votes is will be well
satisfied that it was deserving Of
death:
The Milwaukee Ne,os, the leading
reform organ of the state, says, among
many other and absurd things, that
one very important measure, which
would have been great relief to the
tax payers of the state, that its party
tried to pass and did pass through the
Assembly, but which the republican
senate killed, was the bill proposing to
raise the license fee of railroads from
three to five per cent. Our recollec-
ton is that the republicans had but a
bare majority of one in the senate, and
the records show that seven democrats
or reformers, voted against this reform
measure that the Neacs talks so much
about, while but six republicans vot-
ed against it. Therefore, it will be
seen that instead of republican votes
defeating the measure, it was defeated
by the reform votes. Can the Ne,os

From the Green Bay Gazette.
The Northern Insane Asylum.

The Chicago Times brings grave
charges against the management of the
Northern Insane Asylum, which if
true ought to damn the officers to
everlasting infamy. If there is a
partizanship so low as to call for the
covering up of anything half as black,
we want the public to know that this
paper has not yet descended to it.
Janesville Times.
Had the circumstancial account
of the administration of the Asy-
lum and the brutal treatment of its
inmates appeared iu any other news
paper than The Chicago Times, it
would have been better entitled to
evoke the indignation its GAINESVILLE
namesake is ready to manifest. One
of the charges of the Times men was
that the patients were frozen to death
and that during last winter the build
Ing was fairly untenantable on account
of cold, except upon the occasion of
expected visitors, and intimating that
the Superintendent, DR.. Kempster,
swindled in his fuel account. The
Gazette can speak to the card on this
point, in one instance at least. The
present writer being in Oshkosh one
day during the latter part ofDecember
last, and having an idle hour on hand
concluded to employ it in inspecting
the Asylum. He went prepossessed
against it's location, an utter stranger
in its management, and prepared to
criticise. Sending in his card to DR..
Kempster he was politely received,
and conducted over the entire build
ing. 1t was cold day, but CRATE
full warmth filled the halls and rooms,
and every part of the house, while the
scrupulously clean appearance of the
bed rooms, the floors, walls and win
dows was such as to attract attention
and observation. The DIR. was a young
appearing, selfpossessed man, cour-
teous, dignifed, but candid in his ex-
PLANTATION of the method of his treat
ment, scientific and precise in the use
of language, speaking with certain
depressed enthusiasm of experiments
lie had been conducting, gentle and
humane in his conversation and bear
ing with his patients, and shrewd and
practical in his remarks upon the sys-
tenn he thought should be employed
in conducting an institution of that
character. The writer left with his
prejudice removed, and in the firm be-
lief that the light man was in the right
place. When it is considered that
the Asylum is inspected once month
by qualified physicians residing in the
Northern portion of the State, selected
in rotation, and that their reports are
entered upon the record, that the Trus-
tees are constantly coming unannounc
ed, that there is daily stream of
visitors, friends of the inmates and the
curious, and that there has not been
heard, heretofore, the slightest COM
plant as to the food, treatment or
general management of the Asylum,
one Of two things must be apparent.
viz: That great crowd of officials,
friends patients, and curious visitors
must be in collision with DR.. Kemp
ester, or that the Times account must
be an equal compound ofignorande and
malice.
The Gazette is Of the opinion that
the Chicago Times is liar.

The Chicago Industrial Age says:
zone of the ablest, most practical and
best lawyers and railroad men in the
West, assured the writer, one day thi-
week, that if the Wisconsin State offs
GERS stood firm in their positions, and
enforced the laws, the rates for freight
aud passengers MUST be reduced, and
the people relieved. He has studied
and mastered the whole subjectiof Wis
consin railroads and railroad laws, and
said for years he had helped to fight off
the day for reduction of rates, be-
cause it was for his interests, and was
the instructions of his Wall street own
ers to do so. But he says the rates
are and have been too high, and should
have been lowered six years ago. The
intense greed, aud the brazen assur-
ance begotten by their past successes
in fleeing the public, will, doubtless,
prompt Messrs. Mitchell, Sage, Cow

bully the people til the last, but pluck

Resignation of Chief Justice Dix


Hon. Luther s. Dixon, Chief Jus
tioe of the Supreme Court of Wiscon-
sin, has rendered his resignation to the
Governor, to take effect on the 10th
inst. He is regarded as one of the
ablest jurists of the country, and the
people of the State have good reason
to regret losing his services on the bench
at this time. This loss is somewhat
compensated for, however. by the
Governor retaining him as one of the
counsel for the State in the suit to
enjoin the State authorizes from en-
forcing the railroad law, which is to
be tried before the U. s. Circuit
Court about the goth inst. We copy
the following in regard to the Chief
Justice from the Madison Journal of
the 4th:
Hon. Luther S. Dixon was PROMO
ted by Gov. Randall, from Judge of
the 9th Judicial, Circuit to the posi-
ton of Chief Justice, April 10, 1859,
and has held the position fer over
fifteen years. During this time he has
worked hard, and he leaves good re-
cord of his labors In the numerous able
opinions foafnd~in-sthe~ WISCONSIN Re-
ports from the 9th UP to the last one
issued. and his opinions will reach to
the Seth volume.
He left lucrative practice to go on
the beach, and finding his present sal
airy inadequate, he has accepted po-
sition in Milwaukee law firm where
his incc me will be more than double
what it now is. He will be associate
with Mr.. Hooker, Judge Palmer, the
other member Of the firm, retiring from
active practice to attend to his duties
as President of the Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company.
The Chief Justice long since express
cd his determination to resign when a
favorable opportunity to enter practice
was offered, and he feels that it is his
duty to accept the present very lucra-
tive offer. Though it will be serious
loss to the people to lose his services,
it is a satisfaction to know that he will
remainin the State and receive an am
pie reward for his labors.
A successor will be appointed by the
Governor, who will hold his Office un-
til next June. The election for the full
term will occur next April,

A WASHINGTON special of the 9th
says:
The Senate Committee on Appro-
priations has made some changes in
the postofice bill, the most important
of which is that all mail-matter, of
whatever character, including letters,
news papers, magazines and the like,
shall be prepaid. Should this amend
ment pass, publishers instead of sub
scribers will be compelled to pay post
age.
The law of last year, requiring the
payment of postage on newspapers cir
culating in the counties where they are
printed, was certainly bad enough, and
has worked considerable injury to the
country press; but if the measure re-
ferred to above should pass, it would
impose burden on the press Of the
country which in many instances i.
would be unable to bear. The PEG
pie don't want any such law enacted
in fact nine-tenths Of them are in favor
of the free circulation of newspapers
in the counties where printed, and we
hope the press of the country will en-
Tighten these Senators on this subject
in no doubtful voice.

En- providing in his will for the es-
adjustment of an asylum for the chill
dren whose fathers have been killed in
the services of railroad companies, the
late president of the Pen nsylvania Cen
trial Road has made the first bequest
Of the kind ofwhich we have heard. The
gift was fit and well thought of. The
companies do not pay large wages and
and their trainhands have little oppor-
tunity tolay up property. When they
are killed their families are generally
left destitute. The companies pay no
pensions and resist to the full extern
of the law the collection of DANA ges.
They are the corporations that have no
souls, but it is relief to know that
one Of their most powerful managers
has gone far individually to make up
for the deficiency.
