The monument in honor Of the
late Ex-Emperor of the Republic oil
Mexico, who was shot by the subjects
he claimed but could not command
has been unveiled at Triste. Kings
SO seldom meet with the fate OF Maxi
milan that these memorial honors
naturally deeply moved the Emperor
of Austria, especially as he was as
sured by an address Of his people
sthat they would never treat him in
tLs same way. Macmillan, how
ever, win be kindly remembered. He
would probably have been good
King II he had not experimental

going three miles right past the door
OF a nearer justice, like sensible man
dismissed their case. Mr.. Hiles who
had all his capers on the ground and
expected to demolish me at a single
blow, felt not in the best of spirits
over such results and something had
to be done, the sheriff who had been
on hand night and day was sent for
the third time, and came in on the
hrst train, but not wishing to travel
much over the cranberry marshes to
lind me, abandoned the chase. I found
in day or two hence that justice Farms
worth who only two days before had
filed my affidavit in his office that he
was prejudice against me) notwith-
standing issued another warrant when
all of the capers had disappeared. I
went to the justices Office and surren-
dered myself up, but that dignitary
said that [ must be arrested first be-
fore he would have anything to do
with me. Remainder next week.

Madison, June I, 1875,

THIS for short, tucked up petty,
and hyperbolic statement ezcells. 1t
is taken from the Cincinnati Gazette
and refers to Sherman's Memoirs
The general who began his career as
commander of military district by a
panic which justified the report that
his mind was unbalanced who, as
soon as trusted with the dispositions
of an army in the field, sacrificed it
by an utter lack of generalship' and
rational forethought; who never won
victory nor ordered an attack that
was not disastrous to his own superior
forces; but who through extraordinary
favoritism and falsehood has been re-
warded by military rank created es-
pecially to distinguish great military
genius and great services, has under
taken, ten years after the close of the
war, to write down the regulations of
the officers and soldiers who achieved
that for which he received the honors
and rewards, by a pretended memoir
so wildly untruthful, SO studlously and
cunningly perversive of the facts of
history, and so Indignantly calumin-
ious as to amaze the general reader.

What Intemperance Does.

lntemperance cuts down youth in its
vlgor, manhood in its strength and age
in It's weakness. It breaks the fathers
heart, bereaves the loving mother, ex-
tinguishes the raturai affection, grasses
conjugal love, blots out filial attach
ment, blights parents hopes, and
brings mournful age in sorrow to the
grave. 1t produces weakness, not
strength sickness, not health; death,
not life. 1t makes wives, widows:
children, orphans fathers, fends !;
and makes all of them paupers and
beggars. 1t feeds epidemics, imports
pestilence and embraces consumption.
1t covers the land with idleness,
poverty disease and crime. 1t fills
your jails, supplies your alms-houses
and demands your asylums. 1t en-
genders controversies, fosters quarrels
and cherishes riots It crowds your
penetentiaries, and furnishes the vic
Tins for your scaffolds. 1t is the life
blood of gambler, and aliment of the
counterfeiter, the prop of the hang
man, and the support of the midnight
incendiary. 1t countenances the liar,
respects the thief, and esteems the
blasphemer. 1t violates obligations,
reverences fraud, and honors infamy
1t defames benevolence, hates love,
scorns. virtue, ISLANDERS innocence. 1t
incites the mother to butcher her help
less offspring. helps the husband to
massacre his wife, and aids the child
to grind the patricidal axe. 1t burns
up man and consumes woman, defeats
life, curses God and despises heaven.
1t brings shame, not honor terror,
not safety; despair, not hope; mis-
cry, not happiness. With the malevo-
lence of a fend it calmly surveys it's
desolation. and Insulated with havoc,
poisons felicity, kills peace, running
morals, blights confidence and Stays
reputation, then curses the world end
laughs at it's ruin. 1t murders the
soul, 1t is the sum of al villainies
and curses; it is the DEVILS best
friend.-Menasha Press.

State Teachers Examination

The examination of candidates for
State Teachers Certificates will be
held at Madison, commencing at the
time prescribed by law, namely, the
second Wednesday of August (the
llth, 1875, at 9 o'clock A. M.
The Board of Examiners for the
current year consists of Prof. S. S.
lockwood, of Whitewater s; Prof.
George Beck, of Platteville; and
Prof. G. E. Viebahn, of Manitowoc.
Applicants for certificates will be
examined in the following branches of
study:
o. For an unlimited State Ger
tifcate, the branches of study now re-
quired for a 1st grade county certif-
cate, with the addition of English Lit
erature, and the rudiments of Botany.
Zoology, Chemistry, Geology, Political
Economy, and Mental Philosophy.
Applicants for this grade must present
satisfactory evidence of successful
teaching for at least nine terms
CO. For a limited Give years)
State Certificate, the branches of study
now required for 1st grade county
certificate, with the addition of Eng
lish Literature and the rudiments of
Mental Philosophy.
Applicants for this grade must pre-
sent satisfactory evidence of successful
teaching for at least three terms.
Applicants who fail in any of the
branches required for either of the
above certificates, may present them
selves for denomination in such stu
dies within one year. A re-examina-
ton in the branches in which they were
successful will not be required.
All stationery needed will be fur
nished by the Examiners.
If a sufficient number of applicants
should desire an examination at Eau
Claire at the time of the session of
the State Teachers Association, the
last week in July, arrangements there
fore can probably be made if such APP
plicants Immediately notify the State
Superintendent Of their wish. It is
hoped, however, that the examination
at Madison may meet the convenience
and need of all. The business of the
Association will merit and should re-
ceive the undivided attention of all
who attend.
Strong considerations of self-inter-
est and self-respect should urge teach
ers to seek the independence and assur-
ed position which, these certificates
give. It is hoped and expected that
there will be a good lumber, of appli-
cants the present year. tt alike the
interest Of the State and the profession
that these certificates should be largely
sought for.

The Deacon and His Calf.
From the Marshall On. W Statesma

[From the Marshall On. V Statesman
Last Sunday, just as one of our
straightest deacons was getting ready
to shake the lines over his horses
backs and say ''ge dap" his wife hap
pened to remember that the calf hadn't
been fed. The deacon looked at his
Sunday clothes and observed that he
did not deem it incumbent upon him
to suffer for the negligence of others
to which the deaconess replied that
such language in the presence of the
children, on Sunday morning, and
from pillar Of the church, was
enough to shake ones belief in the
professions that had been made by
some one man she could name. The
deacon handed the lines to his oldest
boy and climbed over the wheel with
out saying word. He went around
to the front door and took the front
door key from under the mat, came
around to the front door, and as he
was trying to put the key in the hole
the key slipped from his hand and slid
down into the snow. Finally he got
into the kitchen and started for the
barnyard with the milk He set the
pail down on the ground and called to
the calf, but the beast whisked it's tail
in the air and beloved at HIM Then
he captured the animal aud pulled it
along by the ears and damned It's head
into the pail, but the calf gave spring
sending the milk in a cloud of spray
over the deacon's shirt front. In try
ing to recapture the beast the deacon
dropped his hymn-book out of his
pocket, and before he could rescue it
the calf stepped both feet on it and
tore the cover off. The deacon got
mad. He took a hop pole and belab-
ored the calf One end of the pole
struck the shed, and, bounding up,
knocked the deacon's plug hat off 1t
rolled directly under the calf, who set
his foot through the tile, and then
went tearing around the yard with his
tail in the air and that hat fastened
just above the knuckle joint. The
deacon went into the house, and as he
unbuckled his shirt collar, he called
out, "Maria, yon go on to church, and
if anybody asks after me tell them
staid home to feed the calf !"
