The Autumn House Cleaning.

She has got on torn dress, hitched
up at one side sufficiently TO reveal an
unbuttcned shoe; there are flakes OF
whitewash in her hair and on her chin
her dress Is wet, her fingers are par.
boiled, and her thumb has been split
with hammer, but her eye is as clear
and bright as that Of major general on
field day. She picks up handful of
skirts and skins through the apart
ments, seeing five hundred thrgs that
should bc done at once, and trying to do
them; and every time she comes in
reach of the dresser, she snatcbes look
into the glass and shoves 4 fresh hair
pin INTO her dilapidaied coil. And thus
planted in the debris, like a queen on
her Throne, she uublushingly asserts
that dts an awful jobs" "Everything
is in wretched shapc;,' I'll be SO glad
when this is over;" 1t does seem as il
my back will snap in two" I'm good
mind TO say III never clean house again
so long as live" And then her mind
unconsciously scars heavenward, and
she wonders if there will be house clean
ing season there, and if not, how hea-
ven can be made of it, 1t is this spec
ulation which gives her that dream exy-
preston when she is cutting your bread
with the soap DaRtWy NetcS.

A Hotel with a Llbr3ry.

How will the morning stars sing to-
gethcr on that millcnnial day when the
landlords of tho earth shall pull down
their curtains need be, seeing that they
are usually gray as to lace, and dingy as
to the danask, and sure 10 gather dust
and defiement, be they never SO royal
at the outset shall pull up their carpets
if purses be shallow, seeing the carpets
arc trodden by such ungenial feet as fate
may send, and that the deeper the pile,
the more it boards the uacanny deposits
for sensitive lungs, and delicate nerves,
and vivid imaginations; shall give up
even it's frescoed fnery, its breadth of
gildec frame and plate glass, if danger of
bankruptcy require it but shall hold the
one indispensable luxury of a hotel to be
library. With lavish generosity, from
apparently boundiess resources, the
proprietors Of hotels have furnished
their guests with numberless comforts
and conveniences. They have made
marvellous outlay TO facinate the eye
and to crafty the palate; but it seems
never TO have entered into the heart OF
man that this American people knows
how to read. An occasional bible in
bedroom, gorgeously gilded book OF
advertisements on the centre table OF the
gilded and gorgeous drawing-r a
faint, vague rumor Of newspapers in the
outer room where female foot never pen
elrates-this is all that indicates any
consciousness in the hotel proprietor
that the travellers Of the world ever care
10 while away a waiting hour by the IN
nocent diverion Of reading. What doth
hinder the dcvotion of few hundred
dollars TO works of popular science,pop-
nlar theology, art and literature, and
history. In what quarter of the heavens
shall rise that landlord of the fnture-is
he even now diSporting with his in
noccnce iniantlne toes in the sunshine,
who shall send ono looking glass, one
hot, heavy, horrid arm chair, one dusty,
tasseled curtain, TO the auction room,
and bear into his inn from the proceeds
a set of Dickens, and Of Thackcay, and
Scott, and Cooper and George Eliot,
and John Halifax, Gcntlemen,a and an oc-
casional volume of Tyndall, and Huxley
and Agassiz. and Browning, and Ten
nyson, and Mathew Arnold, and Macau-
lay? The chair and the curtain and the
lass would do it. | can but
think that the room from which it was
known that a chair, a table, and IA look
room for a choice ~and sensible little
library, would be the most popular ho-
tel in the city.-Scri5ner for NoucmGer.

A Chinese Mathematician.

The Tcrre Haute Gazette says: Wong
Chingfoo, the highly educated Chinaman,
rather "gOt away" with young pro-
fessor at Greencastle Friday evening.
During the course of the evening, Mr..
Wong stated that, among the Chinese,
mathematicians were hired at four dol
lars per week, and were not as good as
the most ordinary men here. They do
this work by machinery as it were, and
it is the dirty labor of the empire. When
Mr.. Wong first came to this country, to
enter college, he was told that 1t would
be necessary to study mathematics two
years; he at once told them he knew
mathematics better than those who were
TO teach him IN this particular branch.
Illustrative Of this, Wong, in his ad-
dress at Browns Hall, offered to foot
up several columns OF figures. For con-
venienco his manager, Mr.. HawkIn
was TO name the figures, but the young
professor of mathematics Of Asbury,
who was present, thought he saw flaw
there and at once came TO his feet. He
asked:
"Will yon, sir, allow me to give you
the figures Z"
"Ccrtainly, sir. | shall be glad TO
have you do So" WAS Mr.. Wong's
courteous answer.
"Now, then sir" began the Professor,
and he named sum upon sum, not going
beyond the tens of thousands, but, CIV
ing him at least thirty different sums to
add. When they were all on paper Mr..
" @Rad hI no% i. ,aalalr, sir p
"Tbat's ALL" replied the Professor
'get ready TO add"
Mr.. Wong stood smiling, and when
the Professor had Strengthened himself
up and said. "Now begin, he quietly re-
marked, Very well, sir here Is Cy
amount. This before the astonishcd Pro
fessor had time TO get half way up the
first column.
"But you're not through already re-
marked the Professor.
"IIerc is the footing of my figures"
was the response and he read them, the
footing being exact.
please read that again, sir" asked
the Professor.
lie did so, aui the astonIshed Pro
fesSor WIS forced 10 admit tha; II was
right.
The Professor was astoundcd. and was
forced TO admit that Mr.. Wong did
know something about mathematics.
The Mandarin stated that he was not
an extraordinary mathematician as corr
pared 10 some of the educated Chinese.
The Professor afterward call Cd On Mr..
Wong at the hotel.

THE STORM.

A wind storm, falling but little short
of q tornado, swept over this city last
Sunday morning between the hours of
one and three, which had the effect of
leveling shade trees by the dozen, fences
by the rod, and tearing up large sections
of sidewalk is various parts of the city.
Among the more serious damage done
was the total destruction of new dwell
ling house on Pollock Hill, barn be-
longing to Wenzel Balm, the blowing
down and injuring of the smoke stacks
on Pankratz & Co. 8 mill and Guttman
& Grabo's tannery, and the scattering
and breaking of several thousand feet of
lumber in Mr.. Guyles' lumber yard.
The office building of the latter named
gentleman was also damaged to a consid-
cradle extent, and barn ON Main street,
near this office was taken off its founda-
ton and considerably injured. The
large ball and cross on the spire of the
Lutheran church was bent over nearly
horizontal entailing an expense of
over one hundred dollars to straighten
it, and several smoke-stacks in various
parts of town were blown out of shape
more or less. Several chimneys were
carried away, and numerous panes of
glass were broken. Mr.. T.. S. Lawrence
estimates the damage to his buckwheat
and buildings at $3.50, and the total loss
cannot fall short of $4,000. Tt was the
worst storm ever experienced here. We
have heard no authentic reports from
the country. but learn that much injury
was sustained by having grain stacks
blown down and fences Frustrated. =
Fortunately no personal injuries were
sustained.

THE FALL TRADE.

From the East and from the West
comes the good news of the abundant
harvest and the consequent prospect of
a good fall trade, tho ugh all are prepar-
ing to do safe and sure business, es-
pecially at the East, where disaster SO
clearly and surely follows the reckless
handling of large stocks. The New
York Herald of Wednesday last has an
article on the business outlook. It
speaks well of the prospect of the crops
in all northwestern states, and particular
ly of Wisconsin. It Is upon the West
that the big city depends for a big fall
trade; it seems the South is but little
noted; when the crop of the West fails
New York City mourns. In this county
the crop is more than an average all
round, and our farmers are preparing
for the ''good time coming" let the
merchants of Manitowoc do the same
thing and stretch out their hand and
grasp the receipts from the products of
the farmer, as he viii soon be laying in
his supplies, and if not told that he can
do better here than he can elsewhere he
may go to some other place to look the
ground over. The TRIBUNE circulates
in every part of the county and is read
by thousands. Let the people know
what you have in stock, and on what
terms it can be purchased.

Miss MARY WRIGHT died in Tive Riv-
ers last Monday. of typhoid fever, aged
10 years, months and 6 days. In speak
ing of her death, the Chronicle says:
'Many in Two Rivers have known her
from infancy, and have watched with
interest the unfolding of character and
development of graces that would have
been highly creditable to their possessor
at ripper age and under more congenial
and favoring circumstances. Studious,
ambitious, cheerful, with healthy flow
of spirits and happy faculty of COM
municating them to others in the circle
in which she moved, she became the
model scholar, at an early age an accom-
plcshed teacher, the idol of the home
circle and the life of large social circle.
Her life on earth, though short, was re-
plete with acts of kindness and good
ness that will live in the memory of her
friends after her."

ED. IRIBTnt,,E In your last issue you
ask ''who is candidate for County School
superintendent" This I do not attempt
to answer. There are plenty of candi-
dates, no doubt but I enter the con-
test, which shall decide who this new
man is to be with fear and trembling
lest the result shall prove disastrous to
our educational interests. Our present
incumbent is one of the best men for
this position he has proven it in thou
sand ways ; has spared neither time nor
expense in qualifying himself for the
duties OF the Office, and should hold it
during good behavior. The question
now is, must he resign on account of the
madequacy of his salary? In behalf of
all the people, L beseech the County
Board to so increase the salary of Co..
School superintendent, that a capable
man can receive fair compensation for
his services and necessary expenses, and
[ will take pleasure in presenting as
candidate for the Office of County School
Superintendent the name of our highly
esteemed, efficient and faithfnI, servant.

THE ELEVATOR.

Il meeting of the stockholders was held
At Klingholz Hall on Thursday evening
of last week, to hear the report of the
committee sent abroad to investigate the
question of cost, size, etc, who re-
ported that they had been to Sheboy-
gan, Milwaukee, Prairie du Chen and
McGregor, Iowa had examined several
elevators, and from what they learned,
thought such one as would meet the
requirements of the association Gin size
30x90 feet, with q storing capacity of
sc, 900 to 60, goo bushels) could be con-
structed and put in running order for
from 5000 to $4,000, exclusive of the
ground. They also submitted to the
consideration of the association a plan
of al elevator, obtained at McGregor,
which was of the style and size princi-
pally in use there, and which seemed to
give entire satisfaction and will prob
ably be adopted. No further business
of Importance was transacted, and the
meeting adjourned to the following 0ast)
Tuesday evening.
At that meeting very large majority
of the members of the association were
present, among them the following, who
had Subscribed stock since our last report:
G. Fehrs, one-half share G. Gelbke
& Bro, one-half share f. Fender, one
share W. A. Busse, one-fourth share );
Chas. Hoyer, one-half share L. Emer-
son, one share F. Armsby, one share /;
Thos. Robinson, one share H. G.. &
W. J. Turner, one share J. LEM, one
half share F. Kostomlatsky, one-half
share Mrs. Anna Williams, one share !;
Co., Gin work. one share.
/ Several propositions were read from
owners of water lots to give their res
pective lots, taking part payment in
stock. The committee appointed to
solicit site reported in favor of securing
lots and 6, block 214-just west of the
Wisconsin Central Mills. At this point
a lively debate ensued, some thinking
the best interests of all concerned de-
manded the location of the elevator be-
low eighth street bridge, while others
the minority-were equally positive
that it should be built above that bridge.
A vote was finally taken, resulting in
favor of locating it east of Eight street,
south side, by 542 share votes to II. In
view of that action, Messrs. John Schu-
cite, J. F. Guyles and John Thornton
were appointed committee to negotiate
for the necessary real estate in that
locality, after which the meeting adj
journed until this Thursday evening, at
which time it is hoped an organization
may be effected by the adoption of by
laws and rules and regulations, and de-
cisive steps taken to bring this much
needed enterprise to q successful termi-
nation.
