WE publish this week the address of
the Executive Committee of the State
Grange to the Wisconsin Patrons of
Husbandry. 1t is timely document,
clearly pointing out the duty of the
hour, not only of the order to which
it is addressed, but of the entire peo-
pie Of the State. While we believe
there has been much more talk about
corruption in office and legislators be-
ing bought up that the real facts
would at all justify, the course of
the leading railroads in this State
clearly shows that they will leave moth
ing undone to secure the repeal of the
potter law, and the only security thepeo-
pie can have is by attending to their
political affairs themselves and putting
sound and honest men into office this
fall. Let the watch-word be, mo
repeal or modification of the Potter
law until it has been fairly and hon.
estly tried for at least one year., and
let us send men to our Legislature next
winter whom we klroao stand square
ly on this platform and are governed
by motives higher than the love of ell
Their money or official position.

THE contract for doing the State
printing for two years from the first
ofnext January was awarded on Tues
day to q. B. Bolens, of the Dodge
county Democrat at IS per cent below
the maximum prices allowed by the
law of last winter. The other bidders
for the contract were Atwood & Gull

20 per cent. discount from the max
imum; Madison Democrat Company
22a per cent. off; G. L. Sholes of Mil

State who thinks he knows how to dc
the work at his figure without heavy

The Monroe Sentinel says that
among the candidates prominently
mentioned for nomination in the Re-
publican Congressional Convention of
this district, are Hon. j. G. Holfo-
way, of Grant; Hon. FL. 8. Magoon, of
La Fayette; Hon. John G. Clark,
Hon. Geo. G. Hazelton, of Grant;
Hon. James Fl. Miner, of Richland,
and one or two other candidates from
Iowa county. As yet, Green and
Crawford have presented no candidates.
Crawford gives all parties to under
stand that it will have none this time.
Green county may have name to
present-there is no telling; but wheth-
er Green county has candidate or not,
its delegates will represent the Repuk-
lican party of Green county by work
ing to secure the best and strongest
man, let him come from whatever
section of the district he may. The
question of locality should be sec
ondary, but all things being equal it
would be no more than justice that
Lafayette, Richland, Crawford OF
Green should furnish the candidate.
This question of locality should not,
and we trust will not be considered
paramount to all other considerations,
We have too much confidence In the
good sense of the coming convention
to doubt for moment that the choice
will be wise and that we shall have a
live, honest and able man, to work and
vote for in the coming poll teal cam

Method of Embalming.

The Brunetti method, by which Mazzin's
body was recently emhalmed, is said to be
even more effective in the preservation Of the
dead than that of the ancient Egyptians. II
consists of several distinct processes First,
the circulatory system is cleansed thoroughly
by washing with cold water till it issues
quite clear from the body. This may occupy
from two to five hours Then alcohol is in
jected. 50 aS to abstract as much water as
possible. This takes about a quarter of an
hour. Ether is then injected, to abstract
the fatty matters. This occupies from two
to ten h. rs. \ strong solution of tannin Ia
then injected. This occupies, for thorough
inhibition, from two to ten hours. The
body is then dried in current of warm all
passed over heated chloride of calcium.
This may occupy from two to five hours
The body is then perfectly preserved, and
resists decay and the Italians exhibit spcci-
.hens which are as hard as stone, and retain
perfectly every detail of form and feature.

Another fatal blunder by n drug-cIerk Is
reported \ man who had a discussion
about family matters with lis wife, and
came out second best, threatened to commit
suicide, and went out to a drug store aud
asked for twenty-five cents worth of strycb-
nine. The ignorant drug-clerk, instead Of
putting up poison, gave him some harmless
drug in mistake, bIunderingly labelled it
''suychnine." The man took it home,
gulped it down in the presence of his vile,
and then threw himself on the lounge 10 die.

and a stomach-pump, waited until she
thought he was dead, and then commenced
to rifle his pockets for his loose Change. lie
was on his feet in an instant, IN instead of
dying he made it very lively for his better
half for about ten minutes; and then he
threatened to get shotgun and shoot the
drug-clerk; and his wife said if he didn't
she would. And now discord and such
things dwell in that house, all ON account of
a laundering drug clerk.

Wants to Sell.

Any body wishing to speculate in real
estate can buy a house in New York cheap
1t Is situated between two churches that
have clocks and that's the reason Mr..
johnson wants to sell it. Oae of these IS
invariably a second or two behind the other !;
consequently when johnson stops out until
one o'clock, as he often does, Mis-. j. says to
him, as each Of the clocks strike one
There. y nice time for Il married man
to come home-two o'clock!''
johnson, ike the gay old sport that he is,
thought he might as well stay out until TWO,
inasmuch as he got the blame for It, So he
stayed, and Mrs. Johnson she stayed too
she stayed until he got in, and made him
listen as the clocks struck four. Then she
threatened to 90 to her mother or get her
ma to come and live with her, as it was I'M
possible to live all alone in the house. This
kind of frightened the old fellow; so he
came in next night before twelve O'Clock
and as those clocks commenced duet a.
twelve and .jingled out twenty-four strokes,
he looked at his wife with a smile, as if to
say
''Now I've got you ~
She began TO cry, and said he stayed out
until al hours" Thus ii i that johnson
is grieved and wishes to dispose Of his
property.

SOLOMON RAY.
BY EUGENE Z. HALL

a hard, close man was Solomon Ray;
Nothing of value he gave away;
He boarded and saved
And he pinched and shaved:
And the more he had the more he craved
The hard-earned dollars he toiled to gain
Brought him little but care and pain;
For little he spent,
And all that he lent
n made it bring him twenty per cent.
This was the life of Solomon Ray;
The years went by, and his hair grew gray;
His cheeks grew thin,
And his heart within
Grew hard as the dollars he worked to win.
But he died one day, as all men must,
For life is tieeting, and man but dust;
And the heirs were gay
That laid him away;
This was the end of Solomon Ray.
They quarreied now, who had little cared
For Solomon Ray while his life was spared
His lands were sod,
And his hard earned gold
All went to the lawyers, L am told.
Yet men will pinch, and cheat, and save.
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave.
All their gold, some day,
Will melt away
Like the selfish savings of Solomon Ray.

4 strict father strove to impress upon his
children the Importance Of thinking twice
before speaking once. His eldest son,
William, was one day walking past his
fathers stable, when the hostler called him
in and told him to run home quickly and tell
his father to come to the stable Immediately,
as one of his horses was dying. lie went
home, and seeing his father. said, very
slowly; "Father, think once" About
FIVE minutes afterward he added; ''Father,
| think twice; one of your horses is dying. =
Now that boy wished to be smart; and his
father made him smart very rapidly, half-an-
hour later, on discovering that his horse was
dead. He tanned the rear part of Williams
pantaloons so vigorously with shingle that
the boy has since been taking his meals In an
erect position.
