FOR REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT.
CHARLES G. WILLIAMS,
or Rock.

TIE Kenosha Union of last week, in it's at
tempt TO be wise at our expense, makes a
fool of itself Il had said that the Premium
List of the Rae inc County Fair "shows that
the officers of the Racine Agricultural
Society are not parsimonons in regard to
their printing" And we asked, "Will the
Unaon inform the public how the Premium
List above referred to shows that the officers
CT the Racine Agricultural Society are not
parsimonious in regard to their printing -
The linton replies by making false state
ment in relation 10 the editor Of the TELE-
GRAPH, making him say what he did not
say. 1t then says, "Well, DR.. if you were
Judge of printing you would not make so
foolish q statement, but as you are not we
will pass you by" This would be generous in
Mr. Killeen if he had done as he said he would
but be did not For he immediately pro-
coed. ''Were you judge Of printing, you
would not have allowed work to come out
of your office in the condition that we have
seen it, and little taste would be displayed
In the makeup of your paper" In this Mr..
Killeen is rather severe, but as it is the only
way he could inform the public how the
Premium List Of the Racine County Fair
shows that the officers Of the Racine Agr-
cultural Society are not parsimonious in re-
gard to their printing, we submit TO it with
out complaint. We are glad TO haYe
him vouchsafe SO much information to the
public even at our expense and after he had
said he would pass US by.
Mr. killeen evidently assumes to he
judge of printing, and also the right 10
decide who Is and who is not a Judge of
printing And as no one ever thought and
never would think unless tcld Of Mr.
Killeen thinking himself a judge of printing
how could he SO long withhold the iIfor-
nation from the public. Neither the work
going ouv of his Office nor the make up Of
his paper ever conveyed an impression to
any one that he thought himself Judge
of printing, and yet he remained silent till
we called him out by asking him to inform
the public how the Premium List of the
Racine County Fair shows that the officers
of the Racine Agricultural Society are not
:
How could he be silent so long to the
great injustice of himself? Smarting under
the injustice Of himself to himself, he now
comes out with great severity upon US, Our
work, and the makeup Of our paper, to max
amends for his neglect heretofore to inform
the public that he thought himself judge
OF printing. And herein he makes fool cl
himself; for, whatever he may think and say
of himself, the public will never believe him
to be judge of printing.
The Unjon's remarks in the same al ticle il
relation to the officers of toe Kenosba
County Agricultural Society are full o
wisdom or folly, or both. They may seem
wise to its own conceis but they are foolish
to the judgment of the people. And being
foolish to the Judgment Of the people there
need be nothing more said Of taem.

CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATES,

The Secretary Of the Treasury
has negotiated loan Of $500, 100000
at the low rate of43 per centinterest.
This is the lowest rate at which our
country has ever obtained a lone.
Only sixteen years ago i'll the last
year of the administration of James
Buchanan, small loan being want
ed, the then Secretary Of the Treas
ury was compelled to pay IL per
cent per annum. That was the last
year ofDemocratice administr ations,
and to such condition they had
brought the credit Of the country in
time of peace. In sixteen years the
Republican administrations have
carried the country through the war
of the rebellion and have raised the
credit Of the nation Sc as to negotl-
ate loan at a percent little more
than one third of what was paid in
the last year of the last Democratic
administration. Such Improvement
of credit we we think has no parallel
in national credit.
England alone can borrow money
at less than a per cent. The
United States now ranks next to
England. Neither Germany, Austria
nor Russia can borrow money at
Al per cent. France paid over 5
per cent for the indemnify loan paid
to Germany. The credit Of oul
country beng now second only to

is an undershirt which is worn next
the skin. 1t is red flannel also,
with black and a white border,
and is sewn over with silk teeth.
The suit includes a pair of war
Of red cloth, highly deco
rated with thick beadwork in alter
nate squares Of dark blue and light
blue beads, aud with fringes of
buckskin down the sides. The war;
shirt, worn outside, is of buckskin,
ornamented with beads and human
hair, and is painted on the breast
and shoulders. In addition to
these articles there is a complete
flowing shabraque, which is worn
over the shoulders with the ends
falling on each side of the wearer,
1t is worn only when the chief is
mounted, as chief is not fond OF
carrying much weighty apparel OF
accoutrement, and is of flannel
faced with other skin. To this i;
attached the bow-case and quiver-
case, both of which are heavily orna-
mented with beadwork of various
colors. There came with the sui
a pair of squaw's leggings of REQ
flannel, very thickly and tastefully
sewn with beadwork. These articles
could not have cost less than some
two hundred dollars in the aggre'
gate, and the thick ornamental
beadwork is very costly.

combat Rstween Two polar hears

The Cologne Gazette, Of Novem-
Der l, contains an account Of a
combat which took place in the
Geological Gardens of that city be-
tween two polar bears, which, that
journal remarks, ga Roman En-
peror would assuredly have paid a
million sesterii to witness" These
two bears had been brought from
Sptzbergen five years ago, and had
been placed in a large pit, with a
tank in the center. Until within
the last few days they had remained
upon excellent terms with each
other, but last week a quarrel oc-
CURED between them, the result Of
which was that the female bear took
refuge on the summit of a large
rock in one corner of the pit. The
male did not attempt to follow her,
and she remained there three days
when, pressed with hunger, she
descended again. AS soon as the
male bear saw her he Immediately
rushed at her and attacked her with
his fore-paws. The keeper attempt
ed to separate them, and bel2boreC
the male with heavy iron bars, bu
the bones in the head Of the polal
bear are so much harder than those
of the ordinary bear, that thes,
| blows took no effect. The malC
bear continued to wreak his ven
geance upon his companion, and
after having almost torn her bod,
into ribbons, he dragged her to thu
bottom of the tank, and held he
there until he felt assured that al
signs of life was extinct. He thel
brought her body back to the foo
of the pit, and dragged it rounc
the tank for nearly an hour. Ate
this he withdrew into his sleeping
room to rest after his labors, AM
the keepers at once closed the irol
; bars upon him. Having examines
the body of the dead bear, the
found that it had received NOR
than a hundred wounds; the necl
, and head were crushed almost to
, Jelly, and the flesh was hanging il
, strips from the back and side;
: During the whole combat neithe
: Of the bears uttered a cry or
: sound Of any kind.

it ahame, he would marshal the
diabolical procession to the back
door. His great delight was to
teach his infant brother schoolboy
words, and his first attempt at his
knowledge Of the devil was an
innocent debbee." AS a boy at
Eton he would watch the livelong
night for ghosts, and consulted his
books how to raise one. His diet
in after years was meager enough
to bring him weird fancies.
Bread became his chief susie
nance, and his pockets were gene
rally we'll stored with it. A circle
upon the carpet clearly defined by
an ample verge of crumbs often
marked the place where he had
long sat at his studies, his face
nearly in contact with his book,
devouring bread at intervals amid
his profound distractions. Some.
times ne ate raisins with it, and his
sweet tooth was immense. Occa'
sionally when walking in London
with a friend he would suddenly
dash into a bakers shop anC
emerge with a supply of brea(
which he would break and offei
half to his companion, and yer.
much surprised he would be whel
anybody refused the delicacy.

A GhAstIy Legend

A beautiful legend of Durham
cathedral is thus related by Regin-
aid, of Durham GA monk of Dur,
ham keeping nightly vigil in the
minister, sat down in the stalls and
thought; he raised his eyes; he be.
held in the misty distance three
forms descend, and with slow steps
come from the east toward the choir
steps; each had a bishops habit ;
each was comely, venerable, and
glorious to behold; and, as they
nassed they sang Alleluia with the
sweetest strains Of melody; then.
toward the south, where the great
crucifx stands, was heard . choir
of many voices singing in theil
several parts of the prose, and il
seemed as though clerks in theil
ministries were serving q bishop
celebrant, for there the clear shin
ing of the tapers was brightest, and
thence the delicious perfume of thC
INCENSE breathed around, Ther
the three bishops sang their part
aud the choir made answer will
chanting wondrous sweet, while on,
celebrated as beseems a bishop
then all was done; once more tb,
solemn procession passed on its wa,
and disappeared like faint image
behind the altar; and they say tina
they who were at that service Ii
asleep, revered in that ancien
church-Aidan, Cuthbert, Eadber
and Edelwold.
