LOST AND FOUND.
rFrom the Oshkosh Northwestern.7


An article appeared in this paper, last
week, giving an account of the great ex-
citement at the upper end of the Wiscon-
sin Central Railroad track, over a man
named Ira S. Graves, of Fond du Lac
being lost in the woods on the Flambeau
river. Mr.. Graves has been found, and
gives the following particulars about the
affair
Himself and other persons had been
up in Michigan, hunting for pine and
mineral lands, and were on their way
home. When they reached the Elambeau
river, Mr.. Graves decided to walk past
the rapids to a certain crossing. Their
haif-breed guide thought it was about
SIX miles to the crossing. Mr.. Graves
took his gun and started. He had gone
but mile or so, when he came to a
cedar windfall. While walking on a tree
that was some distance from the ground
he slipped and fell to the ground. His
hip was 50 injured that he could not
move for hours. He separated from the
company at noon, and was not able to
get away from the place where he fell
until about sundown. He then built
fire and passed the night. Just as soon
as daylight began to appear he took his
crutch, whitfield out during the night,
and started on. He YVES so lame that he
could go but twenty rods at a time
Toward night on that day, which was
Tuesday of last week, he thought he
had gone too far down the river-that
he must have passed the crossing before
ii was fairly light. The second night
he slept soundly and awoke Wednesday
morning very hungry man. He COM
menced walking again at an early hour,
but in consequence of his lameness and
state of hunger that was almost unbear-
able, he made slow progress. He was
not lost any of the time, but there was
not person living within forty miles of
where he left the party, and in his lam
ed, hungry condition, he could not get
out very fast. Wednesday night he was
about as much dead as alive, and of
course good deal discouraged. Build
ing fire he passed the third night alone
in the woods. Before night the next day
he reached the river, shouted, received
an answer, was taken in, fed and made
happy. His absence caused much
alarm at Colby and other places on the
line of the Wisconsin Central Railway,
where he is well known. Large num-
bers of men turned out and hunted night
and day. The managers of the Central
Railway telegraphed along the line that
all who would hunt for Mr.. Graves could
pass over the road free of charge. Mr..
Graves IS very. grateful to the parties
who labored SO faithfully to relieve him
from his unpleasant predicament; but he
scorns the thought that he was lost He
says they might put him in a bag, fasten
it up, take him forty miles in the woods
and leave him, and he would soon find
his way out, If no. accident made him
lame. He was three and a half DAYS
without food

MEMORY OF CARRIER PTeEoNs

MEMORY OF CARRIER PIGEONS.
service rendered by carrier pigeons dur
ing the Franco Prussjan war to beleag-
uered Paris, has decided the French
Government to keep number of these
valuable birds in the various fortresses
of the country. An instance of the
strength of their home attachment and
faculty of memory is shown in an anec-
dote told by French paper: A pigeon
taken from balloon which fell into the
hands of the Germans during the siege
of Paris, was sent by Prince Frederick
Charles to his mother as present. A
short time ago the faithful bird escaped
from its captivity, and returned to its
lawful owner in Paris.

THE Warrington Guardian states that
woman named Elizabeth Taylor ap-
peared before the Warrington bench of
magistrate on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly. She appeared in the
dock in male attire, and the chief con-
stable, in detailing some of her antece-
dents, stated that she was the daughter
of gentleman who formerly lived at
Penketh, near Warrington; she had
been married, but her husband was
killed twenty-one years ago. She COM
meneed to wear male attire thirteen

DURATION OF LIGHTNING. large
flash of lightning, distinctly seen, often
leaves upon the mind an impression that
it has lasted fully second or more, but
it is proved that such is not the fact.
It's velocity is at the rate of 1S6, 900 miles
per second. The duration of flash of
lightning from beginning to end, is esti-
mated not to exceed the sixtieth part of
a second, though retained upon the
retina SO much longer. This may be
proved during storm on a perfectly
dark night, by setting wheel to work
SO rapidly that in steady light its spokes
appear to blend and become individu-
ally invisible. 1t being dark and the
wheel rapidly revolving as above, when
fast of lightning occurs the wheel
will appear to the eye perfectly motion
less, every spoke being distinctly and
separately visible and still This was
first observed by Wheatstone, and was
recorded by him, in connection with
other similar experiments, as conclusive
proof that The duration of the flash la
excessively brief.

s'THERE is to be revival in railroad
bnilding," said a shrewd and conserva-
tive business man recently. He has
been connected with railroads, and is a
keen observer of passing events. We
see no reason to doubt his assertion.
Hard times cut down prices and force
property into the hands of those who can
use it. When the change has taken
place, and men of means get possession
of lands, building material, machinery,
mines, factories and other kinds Of prop
erty at panic prices, they begin to use
it, and thus labor is required, for which
money is paid, and prosperous times
prevail again.

WILD MEN.-The London Acude11y

an Indian surveyor, while at work in the
Madras Presidency, managed to catch
couple OF the wild folks who live in the
hill jungles of the Western Chats
These people sometimes bring honey,
wax ana sandalwood to exchange with
the villagers for cloth, rice, tobacco and
betel nut, but they are very shy. The
man was q feet 6 inches high he had
round head, coarse, black, wooly hair.
and a dark brown skin. The forehead
was low and slightly retreating, the low
er part of the face projected Like the
muzzle of monkey, and the mouth,
which was small and oval, with thick
lips, protruded about an inch beyond
the nose he had short, handy legs, a
comparatively long body and arms that
extended almost to his knees the back
just above the buttocks was concave.
making the stern appear to be much pro-
truded. The hands and fingers were
dullpy and always contracted, SO that
they could not be made to stretch out
quite straight and fiat; the palm and
fingers were covered with thick skin
(more especially the tips of the fingers,
the nails were small and imperfect, and
the feet broad and thick skinned all over
The woman was the same weight as the
man, the color of the skin was of vel
low tint, the hair black, long and straight

feed chiefly upon roots and honey
They have no fixed dwelling places, but
sleep on any convenient spot, generally
between two rocks, or in caves near
which they happen to be benighted.

existance was not unknown, but this is
the first time that they have been de-
scribed with any minuteness -

GIRLS, READ THIS.

Last Monday evening, young lady
arrived in this city from Chicago on the
half past seven train. We believe she
was comparative stranger in this city.
When she got off the train and had at
tended to her trunk, the bus had gone.
She came to visit her friends, and not
knowing where they lived was placed i'll
somewhat unpleasant condition. Jack
Griffin happened to be at the depot with
his dray, and giving him the name of
her friend, he took the trunk for deliv-
cry. She then inquired If there was
any way for her to ride, as the distance
was too great too walk. Jack. in his
usual quaint way. said she might ride
with him on the dray. She willingly
accepted and mounted the trunk for a
seat, when Jack drove down West Mil
waukeet stree with his passenger in big
style. The streets were crowded as they
usually are of summer evening, and
the two attracted considerable attention.
When he came to the bridge, and think
ing the young lady had some delicacy in
riding on n dray through the principal
part of the city, he asked her if he
should drive on a side street instead of
going down South Main. ''Not on my
account" was the significant answer of
the brave young woman. The scene
bothered Jack more than it did her, and
when they reached Conrad's store, Jack
suggested that she get off, told her
where to go, and So id he would deliver
the trunk in few minutes. To this
she assented, and Jack was relieved of
his embarrassment.
The young lady resides in Chicago, is
prominent in society there, accomplish
ed, well educated, and an excellent piano
performer, and was not ashamed to ride
on a dray with Jack Griffin. How
many of our GAINESVILLE girls would be
seen riding through Chicago perched Oh
dray, or even a one-horse wagon? !?
That young woman will make some man
a noble INTERCHANGEABLE Gazette.

Crop Reports.

The Chicago Times published, in its issue
of Saturday last, encouraging reports of
the condition of the spring wheat from all
portions of the northwest, lwhere it is a
staple product, and says THE spread IS,
in all sections where the season is sufficient
ly advanced, all that could be desired. In
some sections, however, the season is cx-
tremely backward, and the wheat is but
just above the ground. This fact, how
ever, does not necessarily argue Il poor
crop. Indeed, with good weather during
the summer, it is quite probable that the
yield in these sections will be fully up to
the average of past seasons. OF course
there are good many contingencies that
may arise between now aud harvest time
to DESTROY the crop, but there is no reason
to apprehend any disastrous results. On
the whole, 1t looks as ii the spring wheat
crop will nearly, If not quite, make up the
deficiencies caused by the winter-killing OF
winter wheat. We have certainly reason
to hope for such a result"

Rhode Island Politics.

The May session of the general assembly
of Rhode Island opened at Newport, Tues
day, with large attendance and an un-
usual amount of interest created by the
legislative election ;of state officers. The
recount of votes occupied the earlier part
vr the day, Inen an adjournment took place
at the wrong moment, SO that the election
of a governor and Acknowledgements was
not reached until o'clock. Colonel
Henry Lppitt, republican, and r. E. Haz-
ard, boiling republican, were the only
gubernatorial candidates, and the result OF
the voting elected Colonel Lippitt by
thirty -four majority. Lieutenant Governor
Henry T. Sisson was then elected by
twenty-slx majority. The remainder of
the republican state ticket was announced
elected by vote of the people at the an
rual election. The success of Lippitt and
Sisson was greeted with deafening ap-
plause and the oath of Office was forthwith
administered. Ex-Governor Howard, in q
fitting speech, welcomed Governor Lppitt,
who returned appropriate thanks and
after abiding to his want of experience,
his admiration for his predecessor and love
for the commonwealth, he pledged him
self to devote his best energies to the pro
motion of the states welfare.

The Prices of Coal ADVANCING.

The continued strikes in the mining re-
giops have caused an advance of fifty cents
per ton on coal. The supply is now so
short that boats have to wait at Rondout

There is no Lehigh coal in the market.
The following are the present prices Lack

Although there will probably be strin-
gency in the coal market during the sum-
mer, the mining journals do not apprehend
a serious coal panic, except in the event of
the strikers continuing until the time the
people begin laying in their winter supply,
which they deem improbable. The strik.

Phil. Sheridan's Marriage.

The marriage Of General Phil. Sheridan
will take place in Chicago, Thursday, June
3; 1t will be strictly private affair with
out any parade or display of any kind, and
the usual wedding trip will be dispensed
with. Bishop Foley will perform the
ceremony. A number of workmen are en-
gagged in decorating the Generals house
in preparation for the bride. Monday a
man, who subsequently claimed to be an
artist from the New York Graphic, gained
admission in a somewhat peculiar manner,
and undertook to sketch the rooms, but
was soon Intercepted. After his depar,
ture, the General discovered that diamond
valued at $1,000. was missing from the
hilt of sword presented to him after the
battle of Stone River. He believes the
Graphic man was pretender, and attrib
utes his loss to him. The man has not rs
vet been arrested.

til some other Judge rules to the contrary,
and, with all due Difference to Judge Pier
point, according TO the inherent principle
of the ballot, as well as in compliance
with well.establlshed law, elsewhere at
least.
Our attention has been again called to
this subject by decision of the Missouri
court, in a similar case, but of different
conclusion. There the court adopt the
language of Judge Cooley OF Michigan,
one of the soundest jurlsts and ablest
writer's on, constitutional law in this
country, and says "Public policy re-
"ouires that the veil of secrecy should be
I" impenetrable, unless the voter himself
I" voluntarily determines to lift it; his
"ballot is absolutely privileged, and to
"allow evidence Of its contents when he
6" las not waived the privilege is to en-
courage trickery and fraud, and would
q" in effect establish the remarkable ano-
"maly that while the law, from motives of
''public policy, establishes the secret ballot
with view to conceal the electors ac-
:" ton, it, at the same time, encourages
system of espionage by means of which
"t the veil OF secrecy may be penetrated
and the voters action disclosed to the
public" Following the same general
idea, it is said that "secrecy inheres in the
very system" so that no statutory regula'
ton is required to render it inyiolable.
Establish the contrary principle, and We
may expect that terrorism, intimidation
and coercion" will be the rule instead OF
the exception in our elections. Expert
ence has demonstrated that absolute sec
recy Is requisite in order TO allow fre'
expression of the will of individual voters
1t were better far that a community should
be unrepreseuted than that voters should
be compelled to disclose the contents
their ballots. A charge of illegal voting /
easily made, and unless the ballot is in
penetrable then the consequences depicted
by Judge Cooley follow. In the Vernon
case referred to, if we remember correctly
the legislature accepted the votes of tn
alleged illegal voters, so that they wer
+ compelled to make public that which pull
lie policy requires to be kept secret.
= another case should arise, and come befor
$ the full bench, we apprehend that tn
G principle laid down by Judge Cooley, an
as formerly held in Vermont, would /
~ followed.
