There seems to be absolutely no dissent thus
far from the desire that the telegraph compa-
MES be required-after reasonable time given
for preparaton-to remove the nuisance of
their telegraph poles, throughout the city. and
bury their wires. The recent mention of the
subject has led to general development of
public opinion, and it is all one way. The
Aldermen are already taking action, and to-
day, as we are advised from Albany, bill is
to be introduced into the Assembly to the
same end. 1t has received the approval of
some of the most experienced and judiciOus
members, and ought to be passed easily. The
public interest demands it, public sentiment
seems to be unanimous in favor of it. and
there can be no possible objection excepting
from telegraph companies who would be forced
to an immediate outlay o little larger than
they are compelled to make each year for
repairs, but would in the end find it real
and considerable economy.

Now that the convention for the settlement
of the Virginius indemnity has been signed,
we hope that our Government will persist
emily urge the modification of the Treaty OF
1875 with Spain. If Spanish naval officer
may ever find himself in position to search
an American vessel under this treaty, his
mode of doing so will probably not be want
ing in OffcDsiveness.

One of the most important of the several
interesting bills passed by the Assembly yes
terday was that establishing specie payments
on all contracts or obligations payable in this
State in dollars, and made after January /,
1879. The bill, having previously been passed
by the Senate, now needs only the signature
of the Governor to take its place on the
statute book.

President MacMahon has given fair warning
that he is not entirely to be trusted. There
is no reason why he should oppose the ap-
pointment of the Duke d'Audiffret-Pa squier
except that he desires to give the Bonapart-
lists proof that he does not regard their cause
with disfavor. Hereafter the Republicans will
have to watch their President very carefully,
and be constantly on the alert against any
thing like purpose on his part to assist in
restoring the Bonapartists to power. There is
one fortunate circumstance about this posi-
ton which the President has thus assumed.
The Orleanists Will have clearly before them
the fact that their only safety against the
Bonapartsts is to continue to make common
cause with their new allies in support of the
republic.

The control of the Council will place an obsta-

officers who may be obnoxious to the Repub-

in the plurality for their candidate for Gov

jority in the Legislature. More definite state

are computed.

With all his faults and crotohets, Senator
Andrew johnson has rarely, in the course OF
a long public career, been accused of improp-
erly using money to secure political advance
mept Personal honesty has been one of his
strong points in nearly all his hard-fOught
contests. He can therefore afford to smile,
and people generally may look skepti-
cally upon the charges now made
against him in the Tennessee Legislature,
namely, that he bought his way to the United
States Senate. But it is proper that such &C
cusatons should receive attention kwhenever
made, and the ex-President has so many
jealous enemies in Tennessee that there is no
reason to believe that in this case there will
not be thorough investigation.

AN OLD SETTLER.

The Green Bay Advocate has Keen
interviewing one Of the earliest inhabit-
ants, who resides in the town of Scott,
short distance from the city of Green
Bay:
He was born in Madison county, Ky,
October 2, 1892, and is therefore few
weeks over SO years old. He works a
farm and enjoys good health. Has not
been sick enough To be confined to his
bed since 1916, when he had an attack
of fever and ague. His memory is yet
good, although he thinks it is failing.
He went to Green Bay with the troops
i'll 1916, when the, houses and inhabit-
ants were very few here. He does not
know OF a native American white citizen
who was there at that time and is still
living.
The first troops sent to Green Bay
were under the command of Major
(since GEM Zachary Taylor, who was
succeeded by Col. Miller; then Colonel
Pinckney and lastly Gen. Brooks. Mr..
Hardwick helped to build Fort Howard
in 1816-l7. The original stockade was
but temporary and was made by cutting
round poles and setting them in trench
dug in the earth. The Fort was rebuilt
of one foot square hewn timber in 1920.
Mr.. Hardwick carried the mail be-
tween Green Bay and Chicago for seven
consecutive winters, commencing in
1917. He carried il on his back, walk
ing every step, and made six or seven
trips each winter. In 1921 or 1928 he
walked from Green Bay to Detroit with
the mail. He lay down to sleep one
night on the ground where Michigan
City, Ind, now stands, with his bag of
provisions for pillow, and during the
night his head dropped to the ground.
Waking up, he saw large black bear
dragging of his provisions. He shot
the bear and sold his pelt to an indian
trader for 81. Going to Detroit he left
Dec. 18th, and got back Feb. 14th, hay
ing staid two or three weeks in Detroit.
When he got there he was undecided
whether to walk back or wait for a boat
in the spring, but he had ':an engage
ment with q lady here" that made the
time seem too long 10 wait. In his trips
between Green Bay and Chicago NE
would sometimes go via Fond du Lac
and sometimes via Manitowoc, according
to how much snow there was.

MARRIED. find the following an
nounce nent in the Chicago Tribune of
the Goth Married, in this city, at the
residence of the brides parents, 9th
inst, by the Rev. W. Fl. Ryder, d. D.,
Mr.. James Hewitt and Miss Arietta E..
Barrie.
The Chicago Times says of it: Among
the multitude of wedding ceremonies by
which happy couples have been made
one during the past week, none have
been performed in better taste than
those of Mr. James Hewitt, stenograph-
er at Gen. Sheridan's headquarters, and
Miss Arietta Barrie, the talented soprano
singer al st. PauIs Universalist church.
The services were conducted by the
Rev. DIR. Ryder, at the residence of the
brides parents, No. 1923 Prairie avenue
at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon, and al
though no general invitations were is
sued, the parlors were thronged by the
particular friends of the bride and
groom. The rooms were neatly decor
ated with evergreens and flowers, and
the presents, mostly articles of silver
ware, were ample evidence of the esteem
with which the happy pair were regard
ed by their acquaintance. After the
ceremony the company sat down to an
elegant supper in the dining-room, and
the evening was spent most delightfully."-
by those who had the good fortune to be
present.

A MERCHANT had just as well expect
to get rich by closing his doors and
keeping his goods concealed from pub
lie view, as to hope to succeed in bust
ness without advertising, while his con-
temporaries are continually exhibiting
their stocks to the public gaze and in
viting calls from purchasers. 1t is just
as natural for the subscribers of news
papers to buy from those who advertise
in it, as it is for children to follow sold
iers when on parade. The simple fact
of seeing certain goods published,
week after week has an irresistible
attraction that will fasten itself upon the
mind and never fails to guide each read
er to the very store at WHICH his OF her
wants can be at once supplied. Every
merchant of common sense knows it to
be SO; and yetmany of them fail to resort
to the very method to make sales which
is used to induce them to make purchas-

IT was pity he didn't insist on a trial
and get verdict for damages to his
character. We mean VIM. Will, of
Gibson, the fellow who stole the over
coat from Chas. Books store, on the
21st. It has transpired that the bust
ness which brought him to the city on
that day was the fact that a neighbor of
his had libeled him, and the thief had
actually commenced a suit for damages.
Think of how his feelings must have
been lacerated this man who, having
settled a suit, begun at his own instance
deliberately walks into the first store
he comes to and is detected with a stolen
overooat in his possession ! Hadn't he
ought to have obtained damages in an
immense amount? Verify, yea!

perb catalogue for 1876. 1t is full of
new and beautiful engravings, plain and

growth of flowers are very valuable. We
believe it is sent free to his old custom
