There is much in an artistic way in
the August ALDINE which will delight
all lovers Of the beautiful. Nothing

Village Beauty" drawn and engraved
by the eminent French artist, q. Met

tes series Of grand and bold pictures
Of the Palisades Of the Hudson, some
Of the most striking scenery in
America. Tive large pictures, contri-
buted by Peter Moran, called 'sThe
Shady Lane" and "The SUNNI" Slope"
are sure to arrest the attention and
please the eye, since they represent
pastoral scenes with which al Ameri.
cans are familiar. A picture full page,
remarkable for its light and shade, its
rich foliage, aud deep, clear waters, is
from the pencil of Kruseman van Elten,
and is . view on Esopus Greek, near

Within the past decade there has
been wonderful increase all over the
country in the desire to have better
fowls. The same feeling is quite man
ifest just now in our own State. We
hear of fancy poultry everywhere, and
at OUT County and State Fairs this in.
terest is becoming very prominent. It
is proposed this season to give the own
ers of rare birds fair show as we'll as
the common. We have now q State
Poultry Association, and an excellent
journal on this subject. It is therefore
quite proper that this Society should
have the management mainly of this
matter at the State Fair as proposed.
The premiums are largely increased,
and at the next State Fair it is expect
ed that much better exhibition will
be had than on previous years. Let
all who own good fowls or wish to see
. fine show, be on hand at the Fair.
This branch of our industries certainly
needs encouragement.-St Paul Press.

The Congressional Convention.
There are 20 present indications
Of any great general interest being Ia.
ken, by the people Of this county in the
approachingConvention for thisC Congress
sional District. It's, doubtless, owing
to the belief that we cannot materially
influence its action. Another reason
is that the denomination of Maj. Strait
seems to be a foregone Conclusion. 1t
is pretty certain that after the conven-
ton the present apathy will give way
to active interest.
Maj. Strait will, we think, be unui-
versally acceptable as candidate to
the people Of this County. Two years
ago We did not favor his nomination
but, when nominated, very cordially
supported him, aud his ofdcia! faith
fulness, effective work and personal in.
tegrity commend him to US for our
support again. We do not recall a
Single official act that should be Con-
demned nor any measure Of either
general or local interest that did not
receive effective support from him.
In the matter Of the improvement of
the Minnesota river, which more di.
rectly affects our local interests than
any other question on which there is
likely to be any National legislation.
Maj Strait secured all that any one
could have done.
1t is generally known that the An
nual Congressional appropriation to
the Minnesota river has been devoted
to the removal Of rocks and snags from
the bed of the river, and that the
work ordinarily done. had no more af
feet in reducing the river navigation
than would have resulted from throw
ing the money into the bed of the
river. Through the efforts Of Maj.
Strait, and in the face Of great opp o.
sition, the purpose Of the appropriation
has been changed end, this year, will
be employed in making a Survey of
tue river with a view to improving
it with system of Locks and dams
that will make it nayigable during the
whole time that it is free from ice.
The success Of this enterprise is felt by
all to be of the utmost importance to this
County. That Maj. Strait is deeply
interested and thoroughly in earnest
in securing its accomplishment we
all believe, and that he can do more
towards it than any one else has been
spoken of in connection with the
nomination, we, also, believe.

Railroad Rates.

Some time ago table was published
in the columns Of the "Press," pur-
ported to give the rates Of passenger
fare established on the seversl lines in
this state by the Boad of railroad COM
missioners, but it subsequently trans.
pired that the rates then given had
not been finally decided upon. Since
that time, however, up to Friday after
noon, the commissioners have been
busily at work, aud on the day men,
toned agreed to the rates mentioned
in the accompanying table

It will be observed that the rate in
some instances, is the same as that
given in the table heretofore published,
but this is not the case in the great
majority of roads traversing this state.
Five cents per passenger mile is the
ruling figure for most Of the roads. but
the milwaukee Il St. Paul company,
with its larger passenger business and
greater wealth, and the Winona & St.
Peter road, are limited to four cents
per mile, the lowest on the list.
The above table was placed in the
hands Of the printer yesterday by the

WET BooTs.--Vhe s.Agriculturist
gives the following advice to farmers
who, next to fishermen, are apt to get
their boots wet through. When the
boots are taken off, fill them quite full
with dry oats. This grain has great
fondness for damp, aud will rapidly
absorb the last vestige of it from the
wet leather. As it takes up the mois.
turc it swells and fills the boots with
tightly fitting last, keeping its form
good, and drying the leather without
dampening it In the morning, shake
out the oats aud hang them in bag
near the fire to dry, ready for the next
wet night, draw on tho boots, and 90
happily about the days work"

SENATOR SEIZURE.


We venture the assertion that the conduct of
Mr.. schurz, on Monday, in the Senate was un-
paralleled in the history of that body. It has
never happened before that Senator Of the
United States has risen in his place IN the course
of serious debate to interpolate into the pfo:
ceedings Of the Senate an elaborate burlesque
upon subject agitating profoundly the country
from one extreme to the other. It has never
happened before that Senator, after having
participated extensively IN q debate, has sup
plemented deliberately prepared arguments with
proposition so ridiculous and SO insulting to
his fellow Senators as to be promptly declared
out Of order by the Chair. The fact that the
amendment to the currency bin proposed BY
Mr.. schurz was carefully elaborated adj 70 TO the
gravity Of the offence. It Is scarcely possible
to characterize with sufficient severity the ex-
traordinary conduct of the Missouri Senator.
It was beneath the dignity Of Senator, grossly
insulting to his associates, and unbeeoming in
q legislator protesting the manners Of q gentle
man

Correspondence OF Inter-ocean

lSOrEcspouoSbce OF InLer-Ocean.1
An indianapolis correspondent of the Inter
Ocean says: "The district to which the atten-
ton Of both Democrats and Republicans all
over the State is especially directed just now is
the fifth, the home of Hon. Jere Wilson and W
s. Holman. There Is no doubt that Mr.. Holman
will be renominated, but who viii be his oppo-
nenti It may or may not be the Hon. jeremiah
Wilson. No one questions that he voted for the
salary Increase, but there are those in his dis
trict (snd this number is legion) who are able
TO forget everything else he has done, and con-
demn him for this one act. Notwithstanding
lie made amends on his return to Congress by
obeying the wishes Of his constituents and
promptly voting to repeal the bill, yet 50 very
determined an opposition has sprung up
against him that Il is extremely doubtful If he
win be renominsted.
The only prominent names besides that
of Mr.. Wilson, which have been men,
toned, are General Thomas N. Browne,
Of Randolph, and the Hon. B. F. Clay
pool, of Fsyette. The former was the
Republican candidate for governor in 1872, and
bis name is as familiar to, and as much
his own district and county. He Is an able
lawyer and eloquent speaker, and courteous,
reliable gentleman. But thus far he has
refused TO allow his name 10 be used as q can
6idAte, although bis friends insist on his making
the race. Mr.. Claypool is lawyer and Q
banker, and personal enemy of Mr.. Wilson.
He has been in the State Senate, is @ good
speaker, and in bis own town (Connersyille)
and county. Is very much resnected.

If success Is measured by ofiee-holding, the
Hon. WIS. Holman has been one of the most
successful men In this State. Born in Indiana
in 1929, he had scarcely time to finish a COM
mon-school education and acquire smattering
of law before he was made Judge of the Pro-
bate Court, at the age Of twenty-one. From
that day TO this he has hardly been out Of Office.
he figured as Probate Judge from 1913 to 1913;
as Prosecuting Attorney from 1s47 to 1919; as
q member Of the Constitutional Convention of
Indiana in 1880; as member Of the Legisla-
ture in 1851; and as Judge of the Common
Pleas Court from 1852 to 1855. Since 1856 ne
has spent most OF his time in Washington, hay
ing been elected to the Thirty-sixth, Thirty
seventh, Thirty eighth, Fortieth, Forty frst,
Forty-second, and Forty-third Congresses.
Throughout this long period he has been the
hoosisr Democrat, whom his party seemed to
delight to honor. Democrats have always
pointed to him with pride. When Dan. Voor-
hees has struck off in one of his peculiar tan
gents, or Niblack, or Mcdonald, or Kerr have
faltered or failed In the time of need, Holman
has made the hearts Of the Democrats glad.

A WESTERN VIEW OF WASHINGTON.
THE CAPITOL IN 1859.
! The following letter appears in the Wisconsin
Stats Journal:
WASHINGTON CITY, April 9, 1874.
Editors Of the Journal: The writer hereof,
having now been in this city over a week, and,
through the kindness of friends, had an opppr-
tunitJ to observe, at least, the outside Of things
in general, and having been familiar with
Washington as q locality, as well as in its rela-
'dons TO the country, since 1879, and therefore
'Somewhat able 10 make comparisons of, and
Appreciate the difference in, It's condition and
.sPpearahee, past fn9 present, takes the liberty
; : In Is5s' washington was q mere village, not
so large, I think, Dc Georgetown, with the old
Capitol and msay of the public buildings partly
COMPLETED, and the grounds and city property
very near the Avenue, but little I'm proved, and
lying very uneven and rough, With many low
places, feceptacles for surface water and drain
age from the surrounding Eegton, and, on the
whole, q most unsightly, dckly, and dreary-
looking place. Most of the real property was
IL the bands of few old fogies, with abso-
Autely no disposition to improve or sell IT,. The
streets GENERALLY we're wagon tracks, and the
public grounds cormons. Most Of its growth
and Improvement, Tor over thirty years, had
been slow and labored, and without any gen
etal plan Or system, and mostly caused BY the
action OF Congress, and all the time the city
and District had been petted and spoiled by the
care Of the General Government, and exempt
, from the ordinary burdens Of local govern
ment and improvement.
When It was organized into territorial gov
erpment, with Governor and Legislature and
representation in Congress Of It's own, it was
RENTED to is own resources and selEgovern-
ment, and for the first time swoke to the me-
cessity and proprety Of improving the streets,
walks, public grounds and general surround
ines, suitable to the capital city. The man for
such G time seemed proyidentially, TO have
been gradually developing IN q young man Of
the city, poor and without friends or patron
age, who first began his career as a mere en-
ployee and mechanic, as q gas-htter and
plumber, and who in. short time, BY honesty,
Industry and study, with remarkable energy
and exectfve ability, became leading business
man and operator. This man is the present
Governor Shepherd Of this District. BE pro
