MR. EDITOR: = Though the people Of

famed Getty of the west" "So-fast-to-'
peal,'' so lately awoke IN greatness to
blossom into immensity, yet they beg
lief at this period to speak of one Of the
MANY pleasant and highly profitable
entertainments which have favored their
place during the Spring and past winter
and which have been gotten up princi-
pally by the ladies Of the Sewing Society
of that place.
It is q time honored saying, indeed
saying Of nearly antediluvian antiquity
that san empty wagon makes the most
noise;" and while our neighbors over at
So-fast-to-peaw have been firing their
guns so increasingly and pealing forth so
unremittingly their marvellous and
voluminous revelations Of what a "NIite
Society is 10 be, or might be, or ought
to have been, or had been, until che

ed up in it, the people Of Wiimot have
been applying themselves to business
with all diligence, performing their
lallotted work as moral reformers, striving
in common with all humanity to promote
the interests Of civilization and endeavor-
ing to spread the blessings of all good to
the receiving millions. The sun never
forgets to shine nor the rain to descend

THE OSHKOSH FIRE on the 28th April,
briefly noticed as we were going TO press
last week, proved very destructive. 1t
started from spark from one saw mill
setting another on fire. Everything was
dry and the wind high, and all mills but
the one frcm which the fire was commu-
nlcated had stopped running on account
OF danger Of fire from the high wind.
The fire spent its fury and stopped after
having destroyed mills and lumber and
houses and the chief business part ofthe
city. 1t destroyed the business houses,
banks and hotels On the North side OF
the river 1t was by far the most de-
structive fire hat Oshkosh has ever had,
SURPRISING its many predecessors.
Several lives were lost. two Or three Or
more Hundreds are left houseless and
homeless, and destitute for time at
least. Loss of properly is estimated at
$4,000, 000-Insurarc at less than one
half.

NEWLY-DIsCovERED RACES IN
AFRICA. In a recent lecture deliv~
cred at Cologne by DR.. Gerhard
Rohlfs, the African explorer, a most
interesting account was given of the
last part Of a journey from Tripoli TO
the coast of Guinea. He visited the
Empire of Bornu, situated to the
south Of Lake Tehad, and found the
negro tribes dwelling there to be the
most civilized of the North African
natives. From Kouka, the capital
Of Bornu, DR.. Bohlfs struck south
to Mandara, and entering the dis
tricts Of the Pulio or Fullo tribes,
found the inhabitants "to be Of a
light yellow, almost white complex
ion and surprising even Europeans
with regard to beauty Of form and
growth" The civilization of Bornu
and its neighboring districts was
treated In detail by the lecturer. and
was shown to present features Of
great Importance to the students o.
anthropologY.

Permission was recently obtained
from the Supreme Court at Madison
to bring suit in that court for an
injunction to restrain the city of Eau
Claire from proceeding under the
Dells bill that was passed by the last
Legislature. The papers have been
forwarded to Chippewa Falls. and
will be served on the authorities of
Eau Claire dmring the coming week.
The point mainly relied on is that it
is not competent for the city Of Eau
Claire to go into the booming bust
ness Or any any other branch Of in
dustry except to carry on its NUM-
clpal government.

Edward Eggleston says that you
may laugh as much as you like
about his being preacher of the
''lying-around LOOSE persuasion, but
when you do. you laugh not only at
him, but at whole crowd of such
fellows as David Swing, Moody,
Colyer, Cheney, Cummins. and
many ether noble souls. He also
says that if you want to preserve the
flavor of sectarianism in man. you
must keep him away from Eyangeli-
cal Alliances acknowledgement Con-
pentions, corked up and Theoretically
sealed, SO that no fresh air can reach
him.

Parson Brownlow is out in long
letter, rasping Andy Johnson for his
last Senate Speech, and particularly,
his reference to him. He concludes
with this challenge:
"Andrew Johnson and myself
made war on each other about thirty
eight years ago, and have kept it up
without intermission ever since, save
during brief period when he threw
up the sponge and made overturss
for peace. Now that he has renewed
the war In the Senate, I say to him:
--''Lay on, Macduff;
And daun'd be him that first cries, Hold
enough"

Henry Lippitt for Governor, and the
repeal Of the probationary and State
