DEATH OF HENRY S. BAIRD. This
gentleman, ole Of the oldest and most
highly respected pioneers of Wisconsin,
died at his residence in Green Bav.
Sunday last, May 3D. Fifty years
since, Henry S. Baird settled in Green
Bay, when this country was known as
the Northwestern territory; and DUR
ing that period Of time, his name has
been prominently identified with the
history of the Northwest.
The first Territorial Legislature of
Wisconsin convened at Belmont, Iowa
county, in October, 1886. Mr.. Baird
was a member of the Council. and was
elected first President of that BODY.
He resigned that position after the first
session, and we believe has not occu-
pied seat in the Legislature since
that time Mr.. Baird was a lawyer of
ability, and the last Wing candidate for
Governor of Wisconsin. He was a
native Of Dublin, ireland.

The New Hampshire Conspiracy.

Since the people beat the New
Hampshire Democrats at the polls, they
have been devising ways to beat the
people. Their plan is simple. It has
not even the merit of originality, but
was borrowed from their White League
brethren of Louisiana. The Republi-
cans have nine majority on joint ballot
in the Legislature of New Hampshire,
and will be able TO elect a Governor.
The Democrats want control of the Ex-
ecutlve Department, of course, and so
they propose to reject five Republican
members, and seat five Democrats in
their places. This, they think, is easy
enough to do, with the help OF an uo-
scrupulous Secretary Of State: They
think the present Democratic incum-
bent is just the man for the work. and
they ask him to decide in their behalf
The certificates of election are made
out by the town clelks-each town
having a member OF the House-and
are sent to the Secretary of State. who
transfers them sealed to the Clerk of
the House The Democratic organs
now claim that the duty of determining
who are members will devolve upon the
Clerk Of last year, while the law makes
his duty merely clerical-simpIy to
make up a roll Of members from the
legal certificates.
But this attempt to make a Demo-
cratic Clerk judge Of the qualifications
of members, will not be submitted to
quietly. A prominent gentleman Of
the state is said to have declared that
the old clerk would be pitched out of
the window. should he attempt this
des perate game of usurpation.' The
fact that this scheme has been urged
for the purpose Of keeping control of
the Governor office, in spite of the
people, shows the desperation Of the
Democrats. Madison Journal.

But if any balm of consolation can be ap.

men and maidens had sort of little picnic
in barn on Main street, in that city,
during which two OF the masculine men,
bers Of tie party concluded tn settle a
little difficulty between them in a hand to-

cigars and went at it. The party were so
tax en- up with the sport that they did not
notice the fire which their cigars had kind
led until it had made considerable head
way. When it was at last discovered, the
boys who were engaged in the delightful
pastiUe of punching each other concluded
to call it draw game" and to lay cut
their surplus strength in quenching the fire.
With the assistance of the girls they sue
oeeded in doing so, but not until consid-

SEVERAL burg!aries have been attempted
and one or more committed in this ci ty
lately, and we would warn our citizens to
be ca the watch, as their cothe lines may
be robbed IN broad daylight, and their
houses entered if they are away and the
windows and doors are not securely fasten-

by the window last Saturday afternoon and
but for the noise created by knocking down
some flower pots that were on the window
they would have succeeded. Had they got
inside they might have carried away more
lead than they expected to find.

CHIT-CHAT.

We are all dwelers in a realm of antici-
patton. We seemingly live not in the
present. The great future is all that we
deem worthy of our attention. Even the
child at play tires of his sports and longs
for manhood. Inspired BY desire for
power, wealth or wisdom, he would gladly
put his shoulders to the wheel of time and
hasten ITS revolutions onward. Ifhis tastes
lead him in the direction of the political
world, every nerve is strained to gain dis
t:nction and honor, and he is constantly
hoping Tor the time when his name shall be
hiEh among the great political leaders of
the nation. TIE more glory he achieves,
the higher his anticipations rise.
If money be his aim, early and late he
tolls for his treasure, and ever lefore him
are floating visions of the time when his
wealth shall be numbered by millions.
This he fancies will bring happiness, little
dreaming that the pleasure lies more in the
anticipation than in the possession.
If the child is inclined to be studious be
diligently applies himself and cnxiously
looks forward to standing high in his class
and patiently labors for those College
honors which seem almost beyound lis
reach. Yet these when won, fail to satisfy
him and he is impatient for the end of Col
lege days, that he mar try his powers in
the wide world as a man among men. In
his chosen profession he sees before him
wide field of usefulness and here at last he
is sure of an opportunity to realize all his
high anticipations. Yet perhaps if he could
read the thoughts of those who have attain
ed all that he aspires to, he might learn
that they would gladly exchange all they
have gained for a few years of freedom
from care and anxiety, and that. they had
found there was more pleasure in the an
tciPation than in the realization Yet this
is part Of our lives. We all have our
Castles in Spain where we spend large
share of our time. Day dreamers are
many rather than few both in the higher
ana lower walks Of life. There are many
weary ones, cropping their way alone, with
out friends, wretched and maimed; otter
ing along lifes pathway so patiently, that
we know they are sustained by the antici-
patton of better world beyond, where
there is no more suffering, no more sorrow.
All this seems part of the plan of Divine
Wisdom. A kind Father has given this
power of anticipation to cheer US on our
pathway here below, that the way may
ever seem bright and pleasant

IT was one of the common sense sayinys
OF DR.. johnson, that man need not
trouble himself to look for the greater and
more marked events of life upon which to
expand his effort, for if he did he would be
sure never to find them, and his life would
be wholly wasted, The true way was. to
attend to the little duties of each dav. and
the large matters would so announce them
selves, that, in dealing with them, We
should seem to have done nothing more
than what is ordinary and common. If
tins plain rule applies to the transactions
V 18th which we are concerned in life, it an-
plies with equal force to human character.
We build as the tiny insect of the
seas builds the coral reef. 1t grows al
most imperceptibly, but ships strand on
their bony ridges at the last. Character is
a product. We are developing all the
while in this direction and in that, vet we
never consciously advance or increase. The
moral of it is, that in tie little the
gradual the impercepti5le, we push our
steady way onward to perfection. All
growth is the surer because slow. The
trees show in their annual rings that but
so much can be added each year to their
circumference. The vegetable deposits
that enrich the soil ere made only year by
year. not all at once. The oak takes CEN
turtles in developing, hardening and ma
turing, though the willow shoots rapidly.
We need not hope, however, our own op
portnnities may be multiplied, to gather
without blowing or reap without sowing.
Knowing this one cannot but become more
concerned for himself, and less uncharitabIy
disposed toward others.
