THE PRODIGAL.

Inheritors of vast wealth are proverbially
spendthrifts. The golden ore is dug from
the mine, refined, and coined, by the labor
of other hands and the sweat of other brows.
Like children playing with an expensive toy,
they can form no just estimate of its value.
When the donor weiged it, he cast into the
balance so many anxious and sleepless nights,
so much self-denial and so much care. But
the inheritor into his balance throws only
pleasure. The one values it by what it
cost him; the other, for what it will pur-
chase. Like .he prodigal in the Scrip
ture parable, he thoughtlessly expends IL TO
crafty the caprice and cravings OF his ma,
ture Then comes the last scene-the misery,
the remorse, and the long and wearisome
journey back to the home of frugal industry.
But there are other prodigals. On her fave
rites our bounteous parent, Nature, has
lavished her richest treasure-health. But
the prcdical values it lightly, for it cost him
naught, and recklessly squanders IL in riot
Gus living. Present pleasure obscures future
want. Soon the curtain rises on the last
scene. We see him helpless, impoverished
the rich treasures of body and mind all
lost-in misery and despair. Remorseful
conscience holds up to him the mirror OF
memory In his own reckless folly he per-
ceives the cause of his present pain. He re-
solves to return. The journey is long and
tedious, but If he perseveringly follows the
right road, he will at length see the haven OF
his hopes in the distance, and Nature, seeing
her invalid child afar off. will come out to
meet him, and receive him back with love
and blessing. To find the right road home
ward, the suffering prodigal should read

Certain suburban roads of st. Louis have

daring highwaymen. More than 20 distinct
crimes of this nature were COM

William Gray, was murdered a few
days ago, John Bingen, plumber, was ar

confession duplicating the other men, John

his first accomplice, but his heart failed and
later Ryan was his companion. 1t was Ry-

NAUTICAL NOTES.-THE past week
has been one of peril to the bold nayi-
gators of Lake Michigan and numer-
Gus sad tales of shipWreck and disaster
reach us from all points. During the
gale last week the schooner Rob Roy
of Chicago, was torn from her mooring
at the Waukegan pier and thrown with
great violence upon the beach. Future
consignments by water for that classic
village will be made via. Kenosha.
Last Friday, the Two Katies of Racine
passed by this port displaying signal
of Distress. she was apparently
unmanageable and laboring heavily.
The life-saying crew stationed at Ra-
cine put out to her relief but for some
reason best known to themselves con-
cluded to abandon the effort and made
for our harbor. The shore for many
miles bears ample testimony as to the
severity Of the storm, in the mass of
debris that lines the beach. During
Thursday and Friday large numbers Of
lake craft might be seen on the offing
.Scudding under bare poles but SO far
as we have been able to learn no dis
asters occurred in this immediate vi
entity.

There is an advertisement in our col
umns to which we take much pleasure
in referring our readers, because we
believe in it and can conscientiously
and heartily recommend it. We refer
to Halls Hair Remover. We remem-
Der many cases in our midst Of old and
middle aged people who formerly wore
grey hair, or whose locks were thin and
faded, but who now have presentable
head pieces, and with no little pride
announce to their friends that they
haven't grey hair in their heads. 1t
is pardonable pride, and the world
would be better off, if there was more
of it, for when the aged make them
selves attractive to others they are
more certain to win and retain the es-
TEEN and respect to which burthen
of well spent years entities them. Try
Halls Hair Remover if age or disease
has thinned or whitened your locks
and you will thank us for our advice.

/ Correspondence of the Telegraph
| November .1St daWned cold and grey:
and toward noon the snow fell thick
and fast, reminding us Of the fact that
Father Winter was abroad in the land
and was preparing to take up his abode
with us. And what memories does the
| first snow storm awaken? The village
boys were out enjoying this first snow
/ just as we used to do when life was
younger, before we had left SO many
years behind; memories also of sleigh
rides, when the buffalo-robe was held
so closely and warmly UP to our very
chin. Leaving the past and returning
to the present we find the beautiful
snow" all melted away by the contin-
ued rainy weather which has succeeded
and the past few days have been cold,
dark and stormy thoroughly autumn
weather, and with dear old Bryant we
exclaim truly
"The melancholy days are come, the saddest OF
the year,
With wailing winds, and naked woods, and
meadows brown and sere,
Heaped in the hollows Of the grove The autumn
leaves lie dead
They rustic to the eddying gust and to the rab
bits tread"
But then the state Of the weather
should form the prelude not the topic
Of conversation or q newspaper com
|munication. so we dismiss it.
Mr.. MIDI endorf, Jr., and Mr.. Warren
Williams are about to erect q feed mill
on the west side Of town to be put into
operation as soon as possible. The en-
CINE is already on the spot and work
men are employed and have commenc-
! ed work upon the building. Success to
the enterprise.
MI. Roy Taylor's new building is
nearly ready for occupancy; it looks
well.
Several Of our citizens are also en-
gagged in repairing and charging their
houses.
The cheese factory will continue to

! Elder j ohnson and family have left
us for their home in Ohio. A few eve
nings previous to their departure, a
large number Of their friends called
upon them, unlimited, and spent most
enjoyable evening. Musically, socially,
and culinarily it was a decided success
as well as an agreeable surprise, and
all went home, feeling more than ever,
how hard it was to have them go away.
Several testimonials of affectionate APP
lDreciation were left with them.
Last Tuesday evening the Ladies
Cemetery Association gave q necktie
Esociable at the Baptist Church in this
place, for the purpose Of raising means
to carry on the work on the cemetery

attendance good, the receipts satisfac-
tory, and the fun, well, you must at
tend one yourself to understand it, fol
like the German ID there is nothing
lsimilar to it in English.

WISCONSIN ELECTION.
STATE Observation-Disclosures.

AS the returns come in the majorities
on the State ticket are increased. It is
now thought that the Republican ma
jority Oh the State ticket will reach
5000 to 10000.
In the Legislature the Republicans
are not quite SO fortunate. The Senate
stands 81 to 12-With some prospect of
being % TO II. In the Assembly Re-
publican districts in large numbers
have been lost. The State Journal
gives the losses and gains from last
year as follows: Losses-TWo in Ra-
cine; one in Kenosha CHE in Rock; one
in Lafayette; two in Grant; one i'll
jefferson; three in Milwaukee; one in
Columbia; two in Juneau; one in
Monroe; one in Portage; one in Fond
Gu Lac; one in Winnebago; one in
Waupaca; one in ManitoWoc; one in
Green Lake; one in Brown; making
twenty-five. Gains One in Dodge; one
! IN Eau Claire; one in La Crosse; one in
Richland one in ST. Croix five. This
makes loss to the Republicans from
last year Of seventeen.
The Journal thinks the Legislature
will stand about 48 Republicans; 40
Democrats; s Greenbackers; 3 hide
IpendentS; and one Socialist. More
than half Of the Greenbackers have
always been Republicans, and are so
still, except on the financial question.

she'll is usually bad. Many expedients
are in use for preserving eggs, like
solutation of qicklime and water :
also wax, gum or yarnish; but the
most sensible way for the farmer to
have fresh supply during the winter
months for his own use is to rear pull
let's in the spring, feed them well in
the summer, and towards the close of
the year they will lay small but accept
able eggs, with proper care.
A fresh-laid egg takes half a minute
longer to boil than a stale one. Raw
eggs digest in an hour and thirty min
utes; hard-boiled and fried eggs re-
quire three hours and one-half for di-
gestion, or as long as cheese and NUT
ton. No food of such desirable quail
ty and low cost is within the reach of
every farmer, and it behooves each in
diyidual to give this important yet
neglected subject more thought and
on.-An1eyic0n C0Jtjcator.
