BETTER THAN EVER.
FOR 1876.

The camiug year, it is anticipated, will be
one of the most important and interesting in
the civil history of the country. 1t will be the
year of a Presidential election, in which the
question of finance will enter into the party
campaigns and political discussions as never
before 1t will be the centennial year Of the
nations declaration of independence, and, be-
sides being marked by the celebrations incident
to such a notable event, it is 10 witness an ex~
position of the products of agriculture, manu-
features and art far greater and more compre-
henslve than has ever occurred upon the con-
tinent. These things will make Il newspaper
more than ever an indispensable thing in every
family.
The proprietors of the IVeehlg Wisconsin
design that it shall be, even more completely
than heretofore, if possible, an epitome Of i'm
portant current events all over the world, and
especially in our own country. Everything of
general interest will find its appropriate men>
ton. Political affairs, commercial interests
especially those pertaining to our own State
and nation, and social and moral questions will
be regularly reported, and fully and iudepen-
IDENTIFY discussed, as their Importance may
seem to demand. The currency question will
receive the thorough discussion which its great
Importance demands, and the Wisconsin, will
always be found on the side of honest money.
In addition to complete digest of the cur
rent news, the Wisconsin will contain serial
and short stories Of "a character to interest all
and offend none. The young folks will always
find something to interest them, the farmer,
the gardner and housckeeper will not be for
cotton by the editor in filling up his columns.
Art, science, fashion and general literature
will have a IS &c, and, in short nothing
that goes to make up complete and whoe-
some news and literary paper will be omitted.

Religion of the Kafirs.

THE religion of the Kafirs, like that of
all other varieties of 1.-the noble savage"
is nothing more than vile superstition,
accompanied by customs of most debas-
ing character. BY this religion woman
is degraded to the lowest level, and classed
among beasts of burden and the goods
and chattels of her masters. Polygamy,
of course, is universally allowed, and un-
der the system of purchase which pre-
walls, the number of wives bears proper
tion to the wealth of the husband Witch
craft is the great leading feature of the
Kafr religion, and witch doctors" are
its priests. In those places where British
influence does not exist q system is regu-
larly carried out, by means of which men
with property are sacrificed to the rapaci
ty of the chiefs. A witch doctor "snells
OUT some person who has caused, or is
causing, sickness or some evil Cruel
tortures, followed by death, are immedi
ately applied to the unfortunate victim,
and his wives and cattle taken from him.
This is an everyday, occurrence among
the Kafirs, and urgent Representations are
very frequently made tothe British Colo
NAL authorities upon the subject The
Katirs believe in "a supreme being, but
most of their rites are connected with the
worship of their dead ancestors, whose
ghosts they endeayor to propitiate.
Christianity has made no real inn
preston upon them, although the
great intelligence and aptitude for learn
ing of the people has been proved at one
or two well -conducted industrial institu-
tons To use the word of an officer of
