SEwsraIR WoRns. A week or two
since Mr.. T. I. Barnnm, the great show
man, was inauguraied Mayor Of Bridge
port, Connecticut. ia bis inaugural
address be used the following sensible
words in reference TO the general idle
ness now shown by large numbers of
our Young men,
ut Is painful to the industrious and
moral portion Of our people 70 see so
many loungerB about the streets, and
such multitude whose highest aspira-
tious seem to he TO waste their time in
idleness or III haze ball, billiards, Re-
No person needs 10 bc unemployed who
is not over fastidions about the kind Of
occupation. There are too many soft
hands land heads whiting for light
work ana hnaYy pay. Better work for
a half loaf tl3an beg or steal whole
one. Mother earth is always near by,
aud ready 70 respond To reasonable
drafts on her never FILLING treasury. A
patch Of potatoes raised 'on shares is
preferable to a poulticed pate earned in
whisky scrimmags, Some modern
Micawbers stand with folded hands
waiting for the panic to pass, as the
foolish man waited for the river to run
dry and allow him TO walk over. The
soil is tho foundation Of American pros
perity. When multitudes Of our con-
sumers become producers; when fash
ion teaches economy, instead Of expend-
ing for CANDY dress what would COM
fortably clothe the family; when peo-
pie learn to walk until they can afford
to ride; when the poor man ceases to
expend more for tobacco than FOR bread;
when those whoeomplainof panics learn
that we cannot keep our cake and eat
it,; thai seiye willnot hold water, that
we must rely on our own exertions, and
learn before We expend, then win PAN
les cease and prosperity return While
we should by no means unreasonably
restrict healthy recreation, we should
remember that time is money that
idleness leads TO immoral habits, and
that the peace, prosperity and charae-
/ ter Of q village depend on the intelli.
gence, integrity, industry and frugality
Of its inhabit5nts.

END OF THE SESSION.

The Wisconsin Legislature of 1875,
which began its session on the 18th OF
the first month, adjourned on the 9th OF
the third month of this year Of grace
This is the shortest session ever held,
except that of twenty-five years ago.
It has been very important one.
The election of United States Senator
complicated matters more or less and
prevented that attention to various ques-
lions which would have been given I'M
der other circumstances. The railroad
legislation, which it was very important
for the credit of the State and the good
of all interests, should be based on cor
rect principles, so as to stand the test OF
time, would have been decided differ
entity, we think, had the Railway Com
missioners presented their report and
bill earlier in the session.
The railway interests were fairly pre-
scented, by arguments and facts appeal-
ing to the reason and justice OF the law
makers; and had the facts gathered by
the Commissioners and their suggestions
been presented in season, we beleve
their bill, or it's main features, would
have been adopted. 1t seems to Us
clear that if the Legislature considered
it right to repudiate the suggestions OF
the Commissioners, it should have
abolished the law authorizing the Board,
or else have provided for their election
hereafter by the people.
There were other very important mat
tiers which absorbed the attention OF the
Legislature. Special acts relating to
different roads, educational questions,
the impeachment investigation, the
Dells bill and others, might be named.
The proceedings is some respects were
novel. The secret session On lmpeach-
nent, and the resolution to destroy the
large amount of testimony taken, and
the procession down into the furnace
room where the door was opened and
the testimony thrown in the blazing fire,
was novel proceeding. The dictatlon
OF terms on the railroad question by a
secret caucus of the friends of a partlcu-
lar bill was novel, The refusal Of the
Assembly to return a bill when twice
asked by the Senate, was something new
or at least rare in the way of Legislative
discourtesy. The address before the
Legislature by ministerial officers on an
important question with which they
were particularly familiar, was new
and, we think, good feature.
Tile legislature has certainly done a
great deal of work, and some of 1t Is
very valuable, and will promote the best
interests of the State.
The work of this, as compared with
the last session, is as follows:

RUMoRs OF WAR.-A sensational re-
port comes from Calcutta that the Eng
hsh government has sent orders to hold
all the troops in India in immediate
readiness for active service The dis
patch adds that such orders point to the
possibility of a war on large scale, not
IN India, but in Europe.
A FEW weeks ago Captain Shannon
visited the Des Moines section of Iowa.
and collected large quantity of sup
plies for the grasshopper sufferers. He
took it to Ottumwa and sold it, putting
the proceeds in his pocket. He then
returned to Nebraska, when the indic-
nant and wronged sufferers hung him.
A srABBING affray occurred at 412
Clark street, Chicago, at about IL
o'clock Monday night, which will doubt
less result in the death of one person. a
boy about II years old, by the name of
Billy Fish. 1t seems he was accosted
by Sally Tierney, a girl Is years old,
with whom he had been intimate. She
asked him to accompany her home, and
upon his refusing she stabbed him
above the heart, the knife penetrating
to the lungs and severing an air pas
tage.
BELLS AND AGE.-A fiddle improves
by age and use; a piano does not, Meth
er does a bell. There is, perhaps, g
slight improvement for the first few
years, but afterwards the quality de-
teriorates. Metal, we know, is altered
by repeated and long continued hammer
ing. Thump piece of iron and you
change the quality of its magnetism
the shock of the waves modifies the
magnetism of an iron ship-and some of
the music is Knocked out bell by long
continued use of the clapper. A peculiar
effect is noticed in the bell of Cripple
gate Church when it strikes twelve.
The first two Or three strokes are distinct
and clear, then discord begins, which
accumnlates with every stroke, until
with the eleventh and twelfth complete
double sound Is produced Chambers

Tusculu1ls Notes.

From an Occasional Correspondent
The discussion of the Cur
rency question, by the Philoma-
thean Society, was by no means a
success, probably owing to a want
of time for sufficient investigation.
One of the disputants ingloriously
fed from the field of action. He
will probably learn sometime that
it were better to have made a
miserable failure, than to have run
away and hid his head in the
sand like an ostrich. There were
four orations in the order of the
entertainment, the most worthy Of
which were, my County, My
Mother, Ny God,' by Chas. d.
Britton. what Man has Done
by Lacy Lawrence. 1t would be
hard to decide as to the merits OF
the two, and we venture no criti-
cism. Only observing that they
were both superb compositions,
and delivered in an eloquent and
fascinating manner.
