CLAIsh > MILLS, OCU. D, 10 ~.
Cato Corners is fourishing village,
situated in the northern part of the town,
on the Manitowoc and Appleton R. r.,
and contains many business men of the
right stamp. It is just now much i'm
proved by Mr.. Killen's new and beauti-
full store. A fine Depot has been built
by Mr.. Harris at his own expense
A store house for grain is now being put
up. DIR. O'Conner, one of the best
physicians in the county, resides there.
He is having an extensive and successful
practice. The congregationalists are re-
joicing in the safe return of their Pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. Paterson, from his long
journey to Scotland. He too is reioiced
to find his people have not been idle
during his absence, but have been &C
tive, and jealous in the good work, which
they with all other churches are doing
for our country.
War has been commenced with the
stumps around Clark Mills; Mr. Marl-
boro, DR.. Tucker and Mr.. Clark are
clearing their farms from those ugly
things, the pine stumps, with Smiths
Hercules Stump and Rock LITTER. Mr..
Noyes and Mr.. Newell are fighting their
battles with the Chamberlain Machine.
All are victorious, and Cato is destined
soon to become beautiful town by the
use of these powerful engines.
The cattle fair mentioned in my last

REFERRING to doctors communica-
ton in another column, we notice it
happens sometimes on the other hand,
that the Doctor is the debtor. In the
following instance the doctor did not
refuse to pay, but was even moderate in
his charges: A man in Terre Haute got
mad because doctor refused to pay
him SIG, that was due, and after abus-
ing the doctor awhile agreed to take it
out in medicine. He now thinks there
must have been frightful fall in the
price OF drugs. The doctor mixes up a
quart of rhubarb, jalap and castor-oil,
poI1rs it down the creditors throa6,
erins, and th en- credits himself with ten
cents on account.

to the fact that there has been a revolution in
politics for the time being, and with all pomp
and style possible for party which has lain in

of their party to quarto power in the land. Last
Saturday evening they got up torchlight pro-

THE IRREGULAR FINANCIER ABRoAD.-A
story comes from Stamboul that Yankee
went to the Imperial Ottoman Bank there aud
on a forged letter of credit enriched himself
with $1,000 of the banks money. Then he vis-
tied another bank and applied for S45O0. His
need of so much money on one day that two
banks had to be drawn upon, was too much for
the dreamy Turks in the latter institution and
aroused them to an Investigation, which result
ed in the incarceration of the dishonest infidel
and the restoration of $3.50 of the money.

NEGRO WEALTH IN GEoRGIA.-The editor
of the Atlanta Herald has recently published
some very significant items regarding the
wealth of the negroes of Georgia. From his
investigations it appears that the colored race
of that state own S6, 157, ,79S worth Of property.
The richest negro is Courtney w. Beal Of
Athens, who pays taxes on S10,S05 City es-
tates appear to be the class of property for
which they exhibit a predilectiou. The At
lanta editor points out that negro women own
fully two-thirds of the entire property possess
ed by the negroes in the state, and that every
negro in Savannah who can count up more
than $1,000 worth of property belongs to the
same sex. Another point made patent by the
exhibit is that the negro politicians are not at
all well -to-do in the way of the world. In the
list of those who own over $4,000 worth of prop
erty there appears not name of single radi-
cal politician. If the list were depressed 20
those owning $4,000 there would still not be a
single name that has become famous in the
pie-bald politics of the day. The property is
owned altogether by the quiet, unassuming
negroes, who stick to their private business
and let politics alone.

The High Street Fridge

Certain citizens doing business upon Com
mercIal street deeming the question of grade
that is to stand for an indefinite time q matter
of considerable consequence. have this day pro-
cured survey Of the level of the Boston and
Maine Railroad track in the vicinity of the
bridge aforesaid. The report of the engineer
now lies before me. Passing over circumstan-
tial details, it sufices to say that the Boston &
Maine Railroad Company have raised their
rack at and under the said bridge at the foot
of High street t,co feet (within minute frac-
tion) above thel level of the same track as it in
tersects with the track of the Grand Trunk
Railway on Commercial street. 1t further ap-
pears that the road bed at the bridge is, since
the recent raising, two and ten inches above the
outlet drainage level of the calvert that takes
off any accumulating surface water. The en-
gneer expresses the professional opinion, in
which any man of common sense will concur,
that the road bed and track at the bridge can
be lowered from one and a third to two feet,
without the possibility of impairing the drain
age or the convenient working of the road.
But further still: The bridge itself at the
southeast end is one foot and four inches high
er above the track than the southeast end of
the Park street bridge IS above the track at that
point. aud this, too, since the High street track
was raised eight inches.
| In short, the track is higher than it need be,
and the bridge is higher above the track than
it need be. The southeast end of the bridge
could be without difficulty lowered from t,co TO
three feet by taking advantage of all the ciI-
cumstances of the case. The railroad has been
compelled reluctantly to build the bridge. Ii
has succeeded, however, in making it only
very little better than good for nothing. Mean
time the city authorities, paralyzed with the
fear of a rich corporation and of its strong and
influential local representatives aad. hOping

THE LONG AGO.

Oh. wonderful stream is the river of Time,
As II runs thro' the realms of tears,
With faultlss rhythm. and a musical
And broad ming surge. and a sweep sublime.
As IT mingles with the ocean Of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of
snow.
And the summers like buds between.
And the year in the sheaf. so they come and
they go.
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and its flow
As it glideS thro' the shadow and sheen.
There's beautiful ilse on this river of Time.
Where the soitosi Of airs are playing
There's cloudless sky. and tro ical cline.
And song as sweet as a vesper chime.
And the Junes with the reses are staying.
And the name Of this isle is the Long Ago"
And we bury our treasures there,
There are brows of beauty, and bosoms of
snow,
There are heaps Of dust, but we loved them Sc =
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
And a part of an infants prayer.
There's Lutte unswept. and a harp without
strings,
There are broken vows. and pieces of rings.
And the garment she used to wear.
There are hands that are waived, when this
fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air.
And we sometimes hear thro' the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before
When the winds down the river are fair.
Oh. remembered for aye, be that blessed isle,
All the days of our life till night;
Till the evening shall come with its beautiful
smile.
And our eyes are clesed in slumber awhile.
May that Greenwood Of soul be in sight

con was the most successful we're pop
uar in his own day. Having realized
considerable sums Of money by his
journalistic and dramatic exertions, he
next took to graver literature, and
distinguished himself not only by
his own political pamphlets. but
also by being the steady patron
of DeLoime, author of the wellknown
work upon the English Constitution.
In 1871, having succeeded to an estate
left him by friend, who required that
he should take the name of Dudley"
he purchased the advowson of the living
of Bradwell, in Essex, subject to the life
of an aged incumbent. Bradwell had
been shamefully neglected; there was no
resident minister; the church had been
suffered to go to ruin, and the sea broke
over the low grounds of the parish. He
spent nearly 100000 in restoring the
church, rebuilding the free school and
parsonage, draining the glebe land, and
erecting sea wall. The great agticul-
tural writer of the last century, Arthur
Young, devoted an essay to Bradwell,
concerning which he said that at the
head of modern embankers and agricul-
turists stands the Rev. II. B Dudley" "
Having said thus much to his credit, it
remains for us to add that he fought
three duels, one Of which was justified in
public opinion by his having protected
woman from the insults of ruffian who
called him into the field In addition he
was the most successful breeder Of gray
hounds in his day, and also kept pack
1f fox hounds aud bred thoroughbred
stock. In 1913 Mr.. Bate Dudley was
created a Baronet by reason of what
vas then regarded as his admirable dis
,harge OF his many public duties. After
/ long and active life, Sir Henry died at
Jheltenham in l824.a the age OF seventy
light.

News writing from Estella says: Every
day each regiment is marched to church
at some hour or other for the saying Of
the Rosary; but on Sundays the cere
mony becomes more striking The mid
day mass is attended by the King, whose
quarters are in roomy house just oppo
site the square. A little before twelve
on that day the men oil the Kings es.
cort, numbering about hundred, and
the regiment of the King foot guards.
of both of which corps shall say more
presently, are paraded in arms upon the
square with their band, their flies and
drums, etc., and as the clock strikes II
they are marched into church, with fixed
bayonets and bands playing The in.
fantry stands facing the high altar in
columns of companies, leaving an aisle
up the center of the church. This is
lined at once by the dismounted horse
men of the Kings escort. The King
now enters the church. accompanied by
his staff, and proceeds up the aisle to
the foot of the altar. The band strikes
up, the troops present arms, and a low
mass is said, 9 few drummer boys in their
regimentals acting as acolytes The band
plays during the whole short service,
only at the moment Of the elevation the
escorts draws swords and the troops
drop on one knee, which is customary in
Roman Catholic countries. On Sundays
the SQUARE of Estella is throhged with
men and women from all parts of the
three provinces. who come to see the
king, and when he appears at the
church porch mass being over, he is
saluted By vocjferous acclamations. 1t
is in vain that his followers close around
him, and that line Of soldiers on either
side endeavor to keep the way clear
the people, men, women and children,
press forward, and a struggle begins
among the foremost in the crowd to
catch hold of the kings hand and kiss
it. They fall on their knees before him;
they get bet Eeen the soldiers, and are
quite irrepressible. Such is the enthusi.
asm Of the inhabitants of these prov
inces for this young prince. As / said
before, they show no signs of WEAKNESS
of this long war, and of the burdens it
laws upon them. Indeed, one of the
most remarkable features Of this strange
struggle Is the perfect amity which
reig1s between the sol5iery aud the pop
ulation. When of duty the seldiers will
