LANCASTER, WISCONSIN. THURSDAY MAY g. 1875

If be is nominated and elected Gov
eraOr, the affairs Of the State will be
run on strict business princi,l.s, SO
far as be can control them, and, il he
carries into the Executive cfflce the
same rigid adherene3 To retrench,
ment and economy that has charae-
| terized his administration as May or
of this city, then the people will have
NO reason to regret that they gave
him their suffrages for the highest
official position in their gift. An
other thing in his favor at present is,
that none of the aspirants for the
| United States Senate would regard
Ludington's nomination with Jealous
eye, for the reason that he would not
be in their way on The road TO Wash
ington. Somehow the Governership
in Wisconsin, unlike that office in
most of the other States, has not
proved to be 8 stepplng-stone 10 the
United States Senate, and except
Gov. Dodge, who served one term in
the Senate, our Governors have fail
ed to reach that distinction, although
| many of them have cherished a live
ly hope that that would be their des-
tiny. Ludington's ambition will be
satisfied with the honor that the
Governorship will confer, aud with it
be would rest from his labors in the
direction of political preferment.
Neither would he be likely to inter-
fere with the election of Senator, nor
use the position and influence of his
office to control it, but allow the re-
spective parties TO manage their own
case in their own way. Another
reason that will be urged for his NOM
nation, and one that will nave great
weight with the Convention, is, that
here in this Congressional District,
composed of three of the strongest
Democratic c0unties in the State, -
Milwaukee, Ozaukee. and Washing
ton, which gave Taylor in 1873 q
majority of over 1000, Ludington
reduced the majority over two. thirds,
when running against one of the
ablest and most popular men in the
district. This fact is not likely 10 be
forgotten or ignored by convention
of delegates reI resenting pa7ty out
of power in the State, and who are
looking for man that IS able to lead
them out of the Wilderness of D eteat
and show them, from the Mountain
of Hope, a Land of Promise flowing
with official milk and honey, and foil
of prospective Post-Offices.
La recent conversation with a
friend upon this interesting question,
Mr.. Ludington stated his Willingness
to take hand in the contest next
fall against Taylor, provided the
nomination comes to him without eff
fort on his part, and provided that
the balance of the ticket is composed
of strong and good men IF | run

be to beat, and | shall not run a. the
representative of any clique, or ring,
or faction Of che party, but as the
candidate of every Republican in the
State Otherwise count mo out"
SO be may be fairly considered a
candidate for the nomination, with
strong probabilities in his favor.

Who Originated the Centennial

A Persian Bride-MarrIage OF One
of the Shah's Daughters.

One of the Shah's daughters was
married, on January 90, to the Imam
Jumeh, of Teheran. A correspond
ent of the London Academy writes
that public opinion in Persia regarded
the marriage as another link of the
chain with which the King tries to
attach himself to the priesthood, and
then adds this description of the tes
tivities attending the wedding:
"The bride, yelled and covered
with what looked like waving mass
of gold, was taken to her husbands
house at half past 8 o'clock; soldiers,
with candles in the muzzles of their
guns, lined the road the walls of the
houses were illuminated with oil
lamps and, as the princess left her
fathers palace, guns were fired and
fireworks let off The firework= vent
off very well, with but few exceptions;
on the roof where we had taken up
our stand some hundreds of rockets
suddenly burst off in all directions,
burning many spectators, and some
suns and stars exploded just as the
brides carriage was passing, frighten-
ing the horses and burning the uni
forms of many soldiers and servants.
To day grand salvo Of artillery was
fred off, and some festivities took
place in the great square"

The Goddess of Liberty.

The Goddess of Liberty was born
in this country in 1879, aud is conse
quently very nearly one hundred
years old. She don't look that in any
of her pictures, however, but they
were taken when she was quite a
young woman. Her father was the
celebrated Mr.. Declaration, of Inde-
pendence, and her mother before she
accepted the Declaration was Miss
Spirit of Liberty. The Goddess was
born in Liberty, and the climate
agrees with her remarkably we'll. In
fact she can't breathe any other air
but that of Liberty, unless it be the air
of "Hail Columbia" The scarlet fe-
yer was raging Throughout the country
during the infancy of the Goddess,
and kings evil was alarmingly prevail
ent; but by the best of care and atten
ton she was brought safely through
all these threatening dangers Dr.
George Washington was the family
physician - the celebrated NJ. ID.
military directorl who suppressed
scarlt fever and swept kings evil
from the North American Continent
There was great jealousy among the
crowned and other dead heads, of
Europe over the birth of the Goddess.
Her cradle was guarded by myriads
of eager, watchful eyes, for was she
not the hope of the worlds downtrod-
den millions? OF course she was.
Every time that cradle rocked, thrones
rocked with it, and the despot's scep-
ter trembled in his nerveless hand.
There probably never was a young
woman who had so many admirers as
the Goddess had from her very infan-
cy. Not only were her countrymen
ready to spill their blood for her, and
if need be, die for her, but men came
from beyond the seas to fight under
her starry banner The brave and
gallant Lafayette turned his back up
on the high-born beauties of French
court to place his knightly lance at
the service of the American Goddess.
The Goddess of Liberty has
passed though very trying periods,
but the boys have stood by her man
fully and seen her through so far.
Time was when an unseemly cloud
darkened her fair brow, caused by
the groans and the clanking of cap
tive chains in what should be the
fairest and happiest portion OF her do
main. But that, happily, has passed
away, and she is the Goddess of Lib
erty to all who dwell beneath her
lovely banner II men loved her in
her infancy and bright youth, they
adore her in her glorious maturity.

sA- Semmes is angry. He protests
against the State of Alabama joining
in the Centennial. He says when the
State flashed across the wires to
Washington, asking him to join his
fortune with hers, he answered her
call, on the principle and doctrine OF
State Rights, that ones first allegiance
is to the State. And for this he has
been branded with intamy, the State
branded with infamy, and until this is
removed no son of Alabama can, with
honor, celebrate the Nations hun

.B Ann McReady, girl attend
ing a boarding school at Folsom, KY,
recently was deeply impressed by a
revival of religion that was in pro
gress in the village. She attended
the meetings nightly, and was so
alarmed by revivalist's vivid des-
cription of an actual. flaming hell,
that she wholly neglected her studies
and gave herself up to prayer. While
she was in this condition of mental
excitement some of her frolicsome
schoolmates conspired to scare her.
One of them was dressed in flowing
white robes, spreading muslin wings
were fastened to her shoulders, and
her face was whitened Thus array
ed she stole softly into Miss Me-
Ready's room in the night. The vic
tim awoke to find what she did not
doubt was an angel standing by the
side of the bed. She screamed in
terror, and the other girls ran into the
room, expecting to end the exploit
with laughter but she had been
frightened literally "out of her senses,
and had to be taken TO an insane asy'
lum.

Jelly From Old Boots.

The reader may stare, but science
smiles supreme and asserts very en-
phatcally that toothsome dellcacy
can be made from dilapidated foot
covering Some time ago, says the
Scientific american, DR.. Vender
Weyde regaled some friends not
merely with boot jelly, but with shirt
coffee, and the repast was pronounced
by all parties excellent. The Doctor
tells us that he made the jelly by first
cleansing the boot, and subsequently
boiling it with soda, under pressure
of about two atmospheres. The tan
nate of soda, and the galatine rose to
the top, whence it was removed and
dried. From this last, with suitable
lavoring material, the jelly was read
ily concocted. The shirt coffee Incl
dentially mentioned above, was sweet
ened with cuff and collar sugar, both
coffee and sugar being produced in
the same way. The linen, CATER, OF
course, washing), was treated with
nitric acid, when, acting on the Ignite
contained in the fiber, produced glu-
cose, or grape sugar. This roasted
made an excellent imitation coffee,
which an addition. of unroasted glu-
cose readily sweetened.
