Mr.. Editorial communication appeared
in the Telegraph of June 1st, over the sigma
ture of "Minnie Mistic' Eulogizing the per-
Torrance of the late Dime Reading at the
Wesley Chapel.
The remarkable characteristic for truth
and the esnpretendimg qualities OF Minnie make
the few mistakes the more noticeable.
Prof. Fl. Fallows had nothing to do with
the getting up, or arrangements of that per-
Torrance, nor did Master Merritt Stanwood
commen-e HE song without having seen but
two verses. His burning face was occasioneG
by his possessing those remarkable unOficious
qualities of the NERVOUS sexton" But he has
brushed the crimson from his face, and
stilled the throbiDg heart of his Gn1iouS
father and mother. That Prof. H. Fallows
should be eulogized by Minnie Is not strange
as he is great tavoriIe in her family. But
when his music is compared with the nervous
sexton and "Minnie" the Professor is left
away in the distance. Could you hear the
SWEEP melody of their notes, and the concord
and harmony OF tones you would imagine
you were listening to Apollo as he sang
praises to the masses or chained his morning
Anthems to unknown gods. Could David
have heard such strains while moodily sitting
by Babel's Stream he would have caught his
harp from the willows and danced like a
merry man.
But all of sheir excellence does not consist
in song. In addition to their music they
generally excel in sympathy and humanity.
The poor way-fairing man who is equally
favored with an unoficious and modest
character finds hearty welcome and
6ownteous supper. And when the people of
Kenosha understand their abilities petition
will be circulated and thousand names
obtained for their removal to the city to
take charge of the churches. ". II. B.

The Celebration.

Now that all hope of a general celebration of
the Centennial Fourth of July has been given up,
the City Committee should take hold of The
matter, on it's OWE account, and push the work
along rapidly, as the time is very short So
much time has been wasted in the fruitless effort
movement, that that which is to be done, must
be quickly done. without advocating the max
ing of an appropriation we may say that it is
pretty generally understood that the Council Will
do literally, has been the practice in the past;
and certainly the present Council is no less pa
triotic than It's predecessor. A liberal appropria
ton by the Council, and aa liberal effort on the
part of the Committee, will insure us Fourth Of
July worthy of the City and the occasion. Ii any
of the Towns are willing to join Cs in this effort
they should be as warmly welcomed as though
all the towns bad joined US in this. The apparent
apathy ola portion of the towns should be no
bar to the united action of those who have shown
willingness to do honor to themselves and the
citizenship they bear. The history of the county is
being written and will be ready for the OCCASION
and all that now remains is for the Committee,
the Council and tb people do their duty in the
premises TO give us a rOustng Centennial Fourth
of July celebration. Let show to the world
that the city and part of the towns not tied
to the apron strings of the apathetic or the I'M
patriotic Let us all go to work, earnestly, de-
terminedlv and invite our neighbOrs to come and
enjoy our hospitality. Let us meet those who
may honor us with their company en- that occa-
sion, with open hands, warm hearts, and in the
spirit of brotherly love, and as citizens of this
LAND OF the free and home of the brave /"

PLENTY OF PEACHES.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich, April 28.-A
careful review of the prospects for the
coming season indicate that there will
be fair crop of peaches and full crop
Of grapes and small fruit. Fruit grow
ers have recovered their usual hopeful
ness, and the ree-plantiDg spirit is
abroad in the land. In fact, every one
is planting trees, vines, or berries. Some
$4,000 peach trees will be planted at
Spring Lake and vicinity; and at Peach
Plains, Ferrysbury, and other suburban
points, 10000 more. There will
also be several thousand apple, cherry,
and plum trees planted, and a large
quantity of raspberries, blackberries
straw berries, grapes, etc.

SHORE PROTECTION .

We publish with pleasure COM
munication from DR.. Everhart, of
Kemper Hall, in relation to the re-
port Of the Harbor Committee in
favor of building a stone pier from
the shore 800 feet into the lake, as a
protection to the shore, and the
effect of such pier if built, and we
invite for it a careful reading and
due consideration.
We were no little surprised at the
report of the committee, and felt
that they could not be candid in
making it, or if they were that they
knew less in relation to the effect of
such pier than almost any one else
in Kenosha. Almost every one but
the Harbor Committee, and possibly
the Common Council, knows wher-
ever a pier is built from the west
shore of Lake Michigan, running
out into the lake, that land will be
made north oft and washed away
to an equal extent south of it. We
felt however that there was but little
danger of such a pier being built,
even if the Common Council should
be unwise enough to authorize it..
1t seemed clear that owners Of land
south of the intended pier could by
a perpetual Injunction prevent the
pier from being built.
Ample experience shows that the
only way to protect the shore south
of pier is to construct substantial
breakWater along or near the shore
south of the pier as far as the wash
ing awaw extends. To protect the
shore a breakwater should be built
from near the south harbor pier to
the Kemper Hall pier. Nothing
short of that will protect the shore
from washing away, and it better be
built new than after more land is
washed away. How much Of the
expense should be borne by the city
and how much by the Land owners
is not now the question. The present
question is, how, surely, best and
cheapest. to protect the shore.

purpose is noble and laudable anG
we hope may be successful. But as
we are not acquainted with all the
Journals of Education we are not
able to say that the Bulletin is the
best. the cheapest and the most use
ful. 1t is enough for us to say that
it is good, cheap and useful Jour
nal, and this we say cheerfully and
unhesitatingly. 1t fills a place in
the Northwest, and perhaps general
ly, not occupied, so far as we know,
by any other Journal. Every teach
err, especially of the Northwest,
should have it and profit by it.

WHAT IT DOES

Rev. DR.. Miner read paper on
'the physiological effects of alcohol, ;"
before the temperance conference of
New England ministers, in Boston,
in which he read from statistics
showing that probably ten per cent,
of the deaths in this country were
caused by intemperance, and that
80 per cent. of the insanity and IS
to so per cent. of the crime was
caused by the, same agent. He
showed how alcohol destroys the
gastric juices preserves the food
makes it insensible to the action of
the juice, destroys the walls Of the
stomach, impedes the work of the
liver, deranges the kidneys, and
deconposes the blood. Thus alco-
hcl interiors in all the chief and nee
esaary functions Of the body, and
must In time result in disease and
arrangement of all itsfaculties, and
by sympathy those OF the mind as
well. Alcohol does not strengthen
but does weaken, and it undoubted-
" lowers the temperature of the
body. The most successful medical
practitioners at home and abroad
have, as a general rule, dispensed
with the use of alcohol.
