The Milwaukee News thinks the only
way TO defeat Senator Howe when he
comes up for reelection In 1879 Is to
elect Democratic legislature-of winch
there is no very brilliant prospect

Sheriff's sale on Monday and was bid III

Bayou Gayoso was higher than ever
known, and numerous buildings along
its banks were badly damaged.

ceipts for the fiscal year have exceeded
the total receipts from the same period

foot up in excess of Sill, 900, 900, and

The rain on Friday seems to have been
pretty general over the state, and altho'
not quite al that is needed, will benefit
the growing crops immensely. It is
! probable that even if there be plenty OF
rain in future the crops viii not be what
they would have been with copious rains
fortnight earlier still in the greater
portion of the state the injury from the
dry, cold weather, will be in great
measure repaired. - Wisconsin.
The reader of the war news from the
Danube must still be patient. Delay
| seems certain to follow delay. The
Russians have now ranged their AZ
MY along the Danube; but it is stated
that they cannot get fairly across within
three weeks, owing to the height of the
river, and the campaign is expected to
begin in earnest only with July. Then
! it must be fought in the fiercest heat of
summer, which will dc as much as hard
| fighting to bring q speedy result.
The Detroit Free Press of Saturday
| states that @ gentleman is visiting that
city, who claims to have patent where
| by he can decend and work in water TO
the depth of three hundred feet. He
is purchasing abandoned wrecks that lie
in deep water, and proposes raising
them through the agency of his patent.
He visited the Detroit Fire and Marine
Insurance Company's Office for the pur-
pose of buying that company's interest
in the propeller r. G. Colburn, which
foundered off Saginaw Bay some years
ago.
In our press dispatches this morning
will be found description of wonder
full invention by Mr.. Pickering, of the
San Franciso Bulletin, by Which it is
claimed that facsimiles of stereotyped
plates may be sent by telegraph, so that
paper page can be transmitted in ten OF
fifteen minutes. If the invention can
accomplish what is claimed 1t will prove
the most remarkable discovery of the

ALMOST daily the kilograms have some
allusion to the prospect of a treaty Of
peace between Russia and Turkey.
While it seems very reasonable to take
/ such dispatches with considerable al
lowance, 1t seems also reasonable to re-
vert the old saw. ''Where there's so
much smoke there must be some fire. !"
Russia will undoubtedly demand a GER
| tain portion of Asiatic Turkey as sin
! demnity," as condition of peace, and
! latest reports of the financial stains of
| Turkey do not lead to the belief that
she is in condition to object to any
thing for any length of time It is a
! foregone conclusion that Russia will be
victorious; nobody doubts it; the only
question is, How long it will take
Turkey to see it: 1t is extremely prob
able That the time will not be very long.
