JUDGE BARKoN's land grant railroad
bill has been so amended as to compei
the company building the road to estab
fish depot within three-fourths of
mile of the corporate limits Of the city
Of Hudson The road is to be bull
east Of the city, if at all.
Another important amendment pro-
vides that the company shall have seven
years in which TO build the road to
Prescott 1t might as well have been
seventy.
All the talk that was ever made
about Baldwln's building railroad to
the Mississippi river, was pure bunkum.
May be our Prescott friends will retort
on US, and tell us that the same thing
may be said about his proposals to build
TO River Falls. But we never took any
stock in such pretensions, and do not
believe he ever had any intention, under
any circumstances, of building a road
into Pierce county.
Neither do we believe that Judge
Barron ever intended, or expected TO
pass his bill as he first introduced it.
SO far be has shown himself the agent,
attorney aud servant of the West Wis.
consin Railway Company ever since the
opening Of the legislature in 1873.
We know nothing Of the inclination
Of the present legislature, or Of the
number Of friends the West Wisconsin
may haze there; but Of one thing We
are certain, they ought TO have clean
track. They have Messrs. Barron and
Clapp at their bidding. and ifthey can't
run their engine over Mr.. Persons, they
must be poor engineers.

Fifeld stands, we arc not yet apprised

The earnings of the Milwaukee and

state, for the year just past, were over
s6,0OO,O0O. It's three per cent tax wa
SlS0,551. lis local taxes swelled the
amount to s19S,7O9. Speaking upon
this subject the st. Paul Press says
at is fair to assume that Minnesota
paid S12O, 900 into the treasury of the
state of Wisconsin through the medium
of the Milwaukee Il st Paul Railway
alone"
If this amount was paid by Minneso.
ia through the St. Paul Company. then
there must have been quite sum paid

A great fire broke out in a'little Ger
man town near where stood a tower
about eighty feet high, which formed
part of tho fertilization on the town
wall. On the summit a stork's nest
had been built for so many years that
the building had received the name Of
"Stork's Tower" At the time of the
iire there were three unfedegd birds in
the nest, aud the poor little birds were
in great danger. But the old storks
soon showed their good sense and love
for their young, for by turns they each
few of to some fish ponds just outside
the walls. here they took a good dip in
the water, and filed their beaks with
as much as they could carry away; then,
notwithstanding the smoke and flames,
they few back to their little ones. poured
tho water from their beaks over them
aud the nest, and at the same time shak-
ing it from their feathers. Thus, dur.
ing the whole day did these faithful
birds act as winged fire brigade till
towards evening, when all danger for
the young and the nest was over.

In the depths Of forest there lived
two foxes, who never had cross word
with each other. One of them said
one day, in politest fox language, "Let's
quarrel" "Very well, said the. other
"as you please, dear friend; but how
shall we set about itY' oh, it cannot be
difficult said fox number one Two
legged people fall out; why should not
we2' So they tried all sorts Of ways, but
il could not be done, because each one
would give way. At las number one got
two stones. "There," said he ,"you
say they are yours, and I'll say they are
mine, and we'll quarrel and fight and
scratch. Now I'll begin, "Those ara
niue" "Fery well, answered the 9TH
err gently; 'yod are welcome to them"
"But we shall never quarrel at this
rate" cried the other, jumping up and
licking his face. "You old simpletou,
don't you know that it takes two to
make quarrel any day."
