ISLAND WILD.


Spectal Correspondence At The Tribune
ISLAND WILD, Wis, Aug. 26.-The State OF
Wisconsin can boast more beautiful inland
lakes than any other section Of country Of the
same area in the United States, and the faircst
gem Of all is the glorious sheet OF water that
surrounds Island Wild. This beautiful
retreat is located near Burlington, Wis,
and about 26 miles west of Racine,
on the line Of the Western Union Railroad. It
was discovered some years ago by a few choice
spirits, who are now charter members Of the or
ganization ycleped "Gideon's Band" They

ability as cozy retreat from the cares that In

beauty as to merit the name OF "the Fairy

crystal with clean, peDblY bottom, and the

WAuKEGAN, Aug. 26-Such has been the oft
repeated exclamation Of many individuals dur
ing the week, in consequence Of the extreme
heat, which was, however, borne with only the
above murinur. One Of the most prominent
results oecasioncd by the continual warmth is
the great influx Of strangers from the larger
cities, who have been and are coming to escape
from tue sitting heat and unhealthy odor of the
wholly business localities. There is nothing in
point Of comfort which can surpass the seating
OF oneself near Il natural spring OF water, with
the weepins-willow to protect one from the fiery
rays Of the sun.
A "Hoss y THIEF.
On last Saturday morning. when stranger made
application for horse and buggy at the livery
stable OF William Icager, little did that gentleman
suspect there was anything wrong The man
stated he wanted single rig, to go far as Lake
Bluff, at which place lie had been engaged in build
ing, and would probably return about noon. Had
that promise been carried out there would now be
no cause for Mr. 1eagers anxiety. The horse
taken, ''Gray Dan, g, was farorite with our
townsmen, and much interest is manifested in re-
gard to his whereabouts.

nothing has been done nbout dividing the amount
in the treasury Of the Little Children's soclety.
The Treasurer does not hold the funds OF the So

proper division OF the assets. The new Societies
OF each church need their share, and, be the
amount ever small, it Is just that It should be
divided.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK.
ITEMS.


The lecture OH Sunday evening by the Rev
James Powell on the ''Slave Music Of the
South " drew large audience, Notwithstanding
the opinions Of some old fogies who questioned
the propricty Of lecturing on such subject on
Sunday.
The School Directors called meeting last
Tuesday evening to consider the propriety Of
building another wing to the school-housc
There were very few of the taxpayers present.
and those that we're there were inclined to be
very liberal with other peoples money, and cx-
pressed themselves as favorable to the proposed
improvement. The School Directors, On ac-
count OF this expression, decided to cali meet
ing ut which the question could be submitted to
the voters Of the district. It is probable
that at that time the project will
be defeated ast appears to be the sentiment OF the
people that they are taxed too much already for the
support OF the school, and that If any charce should
be made at all It ought be in the way of fetreuch
menf. People very properly objected last wear to
the amount tncy were taxed, and this year the Vii
lase, road, AMI schoul taxes already levied nre
about &c. goo to u. 200 last year; and the improve
ment proposed, necesEit,ting. as it does the en-
ployment Of another teacher will make II much
higher. Tie schuol- house is quite largo enoush
to accommodate all that have attended SO far tIs
session. The number OF scholars enrolled is 1o7.

The fall term of the Northwestern University
will open Sept. 13, and the result Of the recent
change In the Presidency and other improve

College, the number OF applications for rooms
in that institution exceeding that of any former
term.

POETRY.
The Centennial Tramp.

Walk! walkl walk
Double-9uick, gallop or trot.i
Walk! walk walk!
Weary, gaspiDg and hot:
Down through one endless aisle
Up through another, no stop
This s,i is the way the Main Building is seen,
Till the tourist is ready to drop!
Looki lookl lookl
49, Till your eyes grow heavy and red.
STARE! starel starel
Till you beat the things into your head!
for onl 1t would never do
To come to this great Worlds Fair,
And when you go home be unable to tell
The wonderful things you saw there!
So it's note! note! note!
Till your Faber is useless and blunt;
And it's search search! search!
genuine sight-seer's hunt.
Oh for the wings OF dove.
Or the fairy-tae seven league boots!
For shoes without soles and bllstered feet
Are certain Centennial fruits!
Where is my list for to-day;
What is remaining to see?
All, here it is, and my heart it grows faiut
At the toll that awaiteth me!
At Norway start on my tour,
Through Italy next must go,
And Denmark and Sweden, and Russia and Spain
All swell the dread list of my woei
Vases of porcelain, statues and shield,
Idols and temples and junks,
Mandarins, fireworks. elephant tusks,
Sofas, bedsteads and trunks,
Weapons, wax-fgures, wares,
Terra-cetta and bronZes and such,
Japanned ware, saDdal-wood, tables and fans
Great Caesar! but this is too much!
erything under the sun.
Strange or costly rare!
Works of nature and works of art
All are treasured there.
And it's see! see! seei
What you have never seen before,
TIL you long to spy some familiar thing
Homeslck, as well as sore.
Drag! drag! drag!
Jaded ana weary along;
And watch! wrtch! watch!
This is the Main Building song.
Iu eighty days. once a time,
The whole world was seen-so they say
But we have completely put, that in the shade
By seng 1t all in one day.
Walk! walk! walkl
While still there's glimmer of light,
Till your avoirdupois is nominal thing,
And you have the cramps always at night
And groan! groan! groan!
In spirit as well as in flesh,
While you wonder il ever again in this life
You will feel really rested and fresh.
This is the song we sing.
As the swan at the coming Of death;
A Centennial hymn from the thousands who toll
The Nam Building through, up and down every
aisle,
Weary and short of breath.
With faces haggard and wan,
With visions of nightmare and cramp,
In voice of decidedly dolorous pitch.
The poor, the meek, the naughty and rich,
AL sing this Song of the TTamp
st. Louis Republican.

Tildcn and three uncommitted.
The Orleans County Democrat thinks
the best ticket to be nominated at st.
Louis is Tilden and Thurman.
Last Sunday Worcester youngstei
went to church with his father, and Of
course listened to the usual twenty
minutes prayer. On their way home
after service the boy wanted to know o.
the old gent if he supposed God had
time to get around to all the Other
churches after staying to hear Mr.. Blanks
prayer--or die he leave before the pray
er ended?"
People who expect to witness a sec
tional fight over the nomination at st
Louis will find themselves mistaken. A
great change has como over the Demo
cratic press Of the country, and char
