HON. JAMES ROSS.

The Manitowoc Tribune Of the
Goth inst, makes an assault upon
the Hon. James Ross, Of this city,
which is unjustiiiable in any point of
view. 1t accuses him of being a
''fraud upon human nature" an en-
bodiment of 'egotism, greed for
money, heartless selfshness. wearing
the artificial mask of ingenious hon
esty )" and claims he is mot tenn
perance man for love of virtue, it is
for gain of lucre, and he would just
as readily return to the miro OF his
past life, as continue in his present,
if he could fasten his grip to an
equal remuneration by so doing y
and intimates that he abuses his wife
and children.
We have known Mr.. Ross for
more than twenty years; have known
him in days when he was not a
friend of temperance, but the re-
verse have known him intimately
since he has become a Staunch adj
vocate of the temperance cause. In
all his relations of life, he has been
an impulsive, enthusiastic, generous
hearted, good-humored, liberal man
kind to every person. In his
drinking days, he was poor, because
he drank but since his reform, he
has been frugal of his means, lived
respectfully, rendered his family
comfortable and happy, and saved
little money. That his reform is
sincere. none who know the man,
doubt for moment; that he is an
effective worker in the temperance
cause, is equally certain; and that
he should be encouraged, rather
than abused, for the noble stand he
has taken in the temperance cause,
does not admit of a doubt, even
with men who drink State Journal.

Too EARLY.-It is a matter of sur
prise to many that the State Central
Committee should call State Con-
vention to elect delegates to the Ma
tional Convention and choose 'Presi-
dental Electors, so early as Febru-
airy 22d--nearly four months in adj
vance of the assembling of the Con-
vention in which they are to act.
No doubt the reason assigned for
such haste is, that delay would bring
it into seed time, or interfere with
spring work. This we cannot admit
as a valid reason, for had the Con-
vention been called to meet in the
latter part of May--which would be
soon enough in our humble judgment
the bulk Of spring work would be
completed, even corn planting, II
the committee have any good reasons
to give for their apparently indecent
haste, we hope they will be prompt
in doing so, that the people may be
informed thereof, and the impression
removed that the early call is in the
interest of some particular man, or
men for the unfair furtherance of
some undeveloped scheme, to which
delay might be dangerous.

A Titled FOrger.

A criminal trial of peculiar interest
and extraordinary character terminated
yesterday at Bologna, Italy, in the con-
viction and sentence to eight years of
penal servitude of Giuseppe Mantegaz-
"a, sixth Marquis of Liscate. He was
brought to trial on the 10th of August,
charged with forgery, fraud, and falsi-
fication, and it was proved that he
forged the names of King Victor Eman-
uel, Prince Humbert of Savoy, and the
British Consul at Florence, and others,
to bills of exchange and papers drawn
for the purpose of obtaining money, be-
sides counterfeiting the official stamp
of the British Consulate at Florence.
He was successful in realizing upward
of 500, 900 francs by discounting this
spurious paper, the fact that he was
known as one of the Kings private
financial agents assisting greatly in the
success of the frauds. Mantegazza is a
member of one of the oldest and most
illustrious houses in Italy, tracing
his descent back to the year 962,
and his trial upon the charge of forgery
has attracted attention throughout
Europe. In a statement made in court
he acknowledged that all the bills and
documents mentioned were forgeries,
but he absolutely denied their author
ship. He claimed to have been employ
ed by the King and the Prince in bona
fds transactions, and in this way was
brought into connection with person
whose name he refused to reveal. I'm
der that persons authority, which he
believed to be sufficient, he professed
to have acted in good faith, declaring
that it was not until the thing had gone
too far to permit of his retreating that
he discovered the true state of the
case. 1t appears, however, that the
evidence failed to corroborate this
version of the affair, and the noble
Marquis was as severely punished as
though he were the commonest felon.-

A PeriIOus Achievement.

Directly opposite the Winter Palace,
in st. Petersburg, and one of the most
conspicuous objects along the whole
line of the Neva, is the citadel, or old
fortress, in reality the foundation of
the city-the golden spire of its church
shooting toward the sky and glittering
in the sun. This spire, which rises
away into nothing, is surmounted by q
large globe on which stands an angel
supporting cross. This angel, being
made of perishable materials, once
manifested symptoms of decay, and
fears were entertained that it would
soon be numbered with the fallen.
Government became perplexed how to
repair it; to raise scaffolding to such
height would cost more than the an
gel was worth.
Among the crowd which daily as
sembled to gaze at it from below was
roofer of houses, who, after long
and silent examination, went to the
Government, and offered to repair it
without any scaffolding or assistance of
any kind.
His offer was accepted, and on the
day appointed for the attempt, provided
with nothing but coil of cords, he as
cended inside to the highest window,
and looking for moment at the crowd
below and at the spire tapering away
above him, stood on the outer ledge of
the window. The spire was covered
with sheets of gilded copper, which, to
beholders from below, presented only
smooth surface of FURNISHED gold; but
the sheets were roughly laid, and fast
ened with large nails which projected
from all sides of the spire.
He cut two pieces of cord and tied
loops at each end of both, fastened the
upper loops over two projecting nails,
and stood with his feet in the lower;
then clinching the fingers of one hand
over the rough edges of the sheets of
copper, raised himself till he could
hitch one of the loops on a higher nail
with the other hand. He did the same
for the other loop, and so he raised one
leg after the other, and at length as
cended, nail by nail and stirrup by STIR
rup, till he clasped his arms around the
spire, directly under the ball.
Here it seemed impossible to go any
further, for the ball was ten or twelve
feet in circumference, with smooth and
glittering surface, and no projecting
nails and the angel was above the ball,
as completely out of sight as if it were
in the habitations of its prototypes. But
the daring roofer was not disheartened.
Rising himself in his stirrups, he encir-
cled the spire with cord which he tied
round his waist, and, SO supported,
leaned gradually, until the soles of his
feet were braced against the spire, and
his body fixed almost horizontally in
the air. In this position he threw
cord over the top of the ball, and threw
it so coolly and skillfulIy, that on the
first attempt it fell down on the other
side, just as he wanted it. Then he
threw himself up to his original posi-
ton, and by means of this cord climbed
up the smooth sides of the globe, and in
few moments, amid thunders of ap-
plause from the crowd below-which at
that great height sounded only like a
faint murmur-he stood by the side of
the angel. After attaching cord to it,
he descended, and the next day carried
up with him a ladder of ropes, and
effected the necessary repairs.

Rapid Development.

On the 2Sth of April, 1876, Deadwood
City was laid out and lots became sub
ject to location. Since that time,
phenix-like, our city has sprung into
existence, and with degree of GER
tainty can we look upon her as city to
be proud of to-day and one we can rest
assured of as being not only to-day but
for years to come the metropolis OF
Lawrence County, organized OF amor
ganized. To-day the value of the i'm
provements already made in our city
will foot up not less than $4,000, not
saying word regarding the lots them
selves, which cost in the first place the
small sum of $3.50 each. Taking the
price paid for unimproved lots sold in
the past few days, we are of the opin-
ion that the actual cash value of the real
estate of Deadwood City will exceed
800, 900, and the city is yet an infant,
being just three months old.-BtGch

Origin of Fashions.

Trace fashion to its origin, and you
will nearly always find that it springs
from the consciousness of q defect and
a wish to mask it. The fatherland of
crinoline is Spain, and Spanish queen
first wore hoops to dissimulate unequal
hips. An actress of the boulevards, who
committed suicide by throwing herself
over balcony few years ago, revived
the high-heeled shoes, which Louis Qua
torze originally brought into fashion to
appear taller than the King of Spain at
the meeting in the Isle of Pheasants.
A French lady, who derives prestige
from rank, fortune, and striking beauty,
scalded her arm three winters back.
An ugly mark bore witness to the acci-
dent. She thought of wearing, to con-
ceal it, those long armed gloves which,
out of mercy to the plebeian wives of
Napoleon's marshals and generals, the
Empress Josephine adopted. The hats
slanting down over the eyebrows were
the result of lady of exalted rank los
ing her front hair. Queen Elizabeth's
neck was yellow and thin; hence the
ssstiff muslin mane.'' The double vail
of white and black tulle was contrived
by lady with bad complexion. She
used pearl-powder to hide her red skin,
and the white and black vail to dissimu-
late the pearl l-powder,w which would have
shown on the black net. An old Paris
ian beau, with an experience of more
than half century of fashionable soci-
ETY. there and at the Continental gam
bling and watering-places, maintains
that when fashion is not traceable to
deformity, it must have originated in
the desire of reigning or rising belle
to crush a rival.-Yonkers Gazette.

In the year 1900 Latour d'Auvergne,
a descendant of Turenne, fell on the
field of battle. He had joined the
French army in place of his son, had
constantly refused promotion, and so
exemplary was his conduct that he was
named "the first grenadier of France"
Napoleon directed that &C the heart of
Latour d'Auvergne, first grenadier of
the Republic, who fell at the battle of
Neubourg, shall continue to be carried
ostensibly by the quartermaster-ser-
geant of the grenadier company of the
Fcrty-sixth, in which he served. The
name of Latour d'Auvergne shall be
preserved on the roll-call; and, in an
swer to his name, the corporal of the
squad to which he was attached shall
answer, dead on the field of honor" -"
This custom is still observed A short
time ago Gen. de Cissey took into his
head to confer a similar honor upon a

Tom ALLEN and Joe Goss, accom-
panied by a crowd of several hundred
sporting men and roughs, left Cincin-
natl at an early hour on the morning
of the 7th, and proceeding to point
near Walton Station, Ky, about II
miles from Cincinnati, on the line
of the Louisville and Frankfort
Railroad, they had a fight of
six rounds, when the Kentucky
militia put in an appearance and caused
a temporary cessation of the brutal
sport. Not to be foiled, however, the
fighting men then moved their train six
miles further down the road, where the
fight was resumed and continued to the
twenty-first round, when a foul was
claimed against Allen and allowed by
the referee, thus giving the
victory to Goss. ALI reports
agree that Goss had been severely pun
ished by Allen, and had much the worst
of the fight all the way through. When
the train reached Newport, KY, on its
return, Allen was arrested. The penal
ty for prize-fghting in Kentucky is a
fine of from $3.50 to $1,000 and i'm
prisonment of from three to twelve
months.
