Can't Accommodate Them

Butler 4 Co. through their organ, are
extremely anxious to shift the municipal
contest from their shoulders and make it a
personal one between the Mayor and Mr.,
Boynton. The Mayor has no feeling
against Mr.. Boynton and never had. He
is acting for what he believes to be the
interest of the people OF the city. He be-
lieved the interest of the people required
change in the water works superintend-
ent aud settlement of the long standing
and miserably kept and mysterious ac-
counts. Instead of cooperating with him,
to this end, the Republican clique has bent
all its energies to thwart him IN the mat
ter, using every effort to produce dis
order and anarchy in city matters.
Now, this Republican clique, instead OF
taking the responsibility for their own acts
and appealing to the courts to sustain
them, are trying to shove Boynton in front
| of them and make a personal contest be-
tween him and the Mayor. They can't be
accommodated. The Mayor believes be
has legal right for his action. He believes
that the organic law is superior to an or,
dinance, when that ordinance conflicts with
the organic law. He don't believe that
Butler Il Co. have the legal power or right
to repeal, ignore or defy the plain provi
sions of the city charter and laws of Hi
nois. He don't believe they have the le
gal power or right to make an ordinance
authorizing anybody else to ignore or defy
any provision of the city charter or any
law of the state. He believes that wher
an ordinance conflicts with the charter Of
the laws of the state, then the ordinance
not the charter and laws. is imperative
and of no force or effect. He holds tia
when the charter requires that the term
Of all officers shall expire on the seconC
Tuesday of March, the council can no
change the effect of that provision, by or
dinance or otherwise, and make the term
of portion Of the officers expire at dit
ferent time. And he believes that wher
under the charter, the term of an office
has expired and the officer is holding b
sufferance until his successor is appointed
then, as in the Boynton case, the Mayor
, Law, which Mr.. Gest says is part of th
city charter, gives him the right to nam
such successor. That's the question fo
the circuit court to decide, if Butler & Cc
ldare take it there.

DEcALooMANIE.-This is the name of

DECALCoMANIE. This is the name of a
comparatively new art that is attracting
considerable attention at the present time.
1t consists in transferring pictures which
have been printed upon paper in high and
beautiful colors to any object one may wish
to ornament, such as fans, work boxes,
vases, flower pots, articles of furniture, &c.
When transferred these pictures look as il
painted upon the article ornamented, and
they are much more attractive and beauti-
tut than they would be if painted with
brush, unless executed by very skillful
artist; indeed this beautiful art offers a
complete substitute for the process of hand
painting for most purposes. The pictures
embrace great variety of subjects, such
as heads, landscapes, animals, insects,
flowers, comic figures, &c. The art is easily
acquired, and children even soon become
experts. Transferring these pictures is a
charming pastime tor old or young. and
serves to cultivate taste for the beauti
full. We have received from J. L. Patteu
& Co., 1872 William Street, New York. who
are dealers in transfer pictures, some hand
some samples of their goods. These gen
tlemen will, for the small sum of ten cents
send full instructions in this beautiful art
together with ten handsome samples OF the
pictures, or for fifty cents they will sene
one hundred attractive pictures,

GREAT DAMAGE IN THE CHIPPEWA RIVER
LUMBER DISTRICTS.
EAU CLAIRE, WIS.,, August H.--A gen.
tleman just returned from a trip up to
the headwaters of the Chippewa river
reports that the fires in the woods have
already injured over l00,0O0, 900 feet OF
standing timber, in that vicinity, to such
an extent that it will have TO be cut dur
ing the coming winter to save any con-
siderable portion TO it.
The greatest damage was done on the
Pineapple river, where the old choppings
were swept clean. The injury done In
the hay marshes, where lumbermen have
been in the habit Of cutting hay for the
use Of teams during the logging season,
is immense, and Will probably render it
impossible TO carry corporations in sew
eral OF the most valuable districts. IL is
hoped that the late rains have extended
far enough north to quench the fires and
prevent further damage, but there is no
positive knowledge here as to whether
ii has or not.
