TYPOGRAPHY.

The FIRST lecture of the popular
course was given at the Congregations
al church last evening by Hon. G. H..
Haskins, of Milwaukee, on the subject
of Electricity and Telegraphy. Mr..
Haskins is superintendent Of the
Northwestern Telegraph Company,
and probably has as thorough prac-
teal and theoretical knowledge of the
subject of electricity IS any man in
the country. Ills lecture was illustrat-
ed by experiments; but, as his appa-
ratuS had been considerably damaged
and disarranged by an accident on the
way to Whitewater, he was obliged to
forego some of the most interesting
and important illustrations. Under
ordinarily favorable circumstances it
is evident that Mr.. Haskins can give
most valuable and entertaining lee
ture. and even with the obstacles
which basel him last night he sue
ceeded in giving his audience clear
and interesting presentation of his
subject. Uhltescdfer Register.
Would it not be well for the people
of River Falls who hunger and thirst
for practical science, to take measures
to secure course of scientific lee
lures FOR fortnightly instruction
Prof. Haskins, being superintendent
of the line of telegraph passing
through this place, might, perhaps,
for reasonable sum be induced to
deliver his lecture on Electricity and
Telegraphy, here.

And yet its motion ceases not-no fric-
ton retards it, no attraction acceler-

Not SO with man. His nature is
change. First warm-then cold, and
unto dust he must return. We well
come the New Year. We ring out the
"0ld" and ring in the "New" with
joyful peals. But wherefore joyful p
A million hearts that but twelve
months agone beat high and warm in
living bosoms, now lie cold in the en-
brace of death, and ere another year
rolls round a million more will lay be-
side them. In the nearer and dearer
relations of human life, we look around
for many of those who, but few
short months ago, were living in
strength and beauty by our sides, and
whose hearts beat in unison with our
own. Where are they nowi They
are gone Like the leaves Of the for.

scattered and strewn, ana many of
them lie beneath the cold and silent
clods of the valley, which now wrap

hearts are bleeding with pain. Sad

of ourselves. We hope on, and we

THE POLITICAL POT.

To keep it boiling is pretty diff
cult, during these cold winter days.
There is just enough of friction, how
ever, to keep the kettle warm, and on
ly warm. Members of both parties
are growing cold in their zeal, and
moderate both in their demands and
expectations. The complexion, as
well as the character, of both of the
leading political parties of the coun-
try is now undergoing radical change,
and long established usages and Gus
toms are liable to be ignored. There
is q general shaking up, and, cOnse-
quently, there will ultimately be a
fusion of the different elements,
whenever the pot is hot enough to
melt its contents. But the same ne
cessity for two, or more, parties exists
which has existed from time immemo-
rial. Why mott
The flames that were kindled in the
campaign of last fall, seem now to be
smothered, and, in fact, almost extin-
guishsd. But they are soon to he re
vived one month will scarcely pass
away ere the nation will be on tip.tos
over the counting of the electoral
vote. Yes, the political pot will soon
begin to boil again, and soon, very
soon, will its contents be rapidly
changing places. One principle, or
particle, will sink while another rises,
and positions from right to left will be
rapidly sought and found. AS the fire
increases, in the very nature of things
such a result is inevitable. Let poll
ticians attempt to adjust the heat as
best they may, the result is uncertain,
and there will be the strangest ''mix-
ing up of things that was ever known
in this country. And for this reason,
if no other The contents of the pot
are medley of every conceivable
thing or principle that ever existed
in the POLITICAL world, and of their
specific gravity no man can form an
adequate idea. Here are the rem
nants Of the old line AbOlitiOnists, with
the old line Democrats, with whom
they were once in direct conflict; then
there are the old line Wings, North
and South, many of whom are now
conservative Republicans and still
again the new line Silver Greys, with
the new line Changers and the mis-
named Reformers, and SO on, and SO
forth. When these elements begin
to melt from the rapidly increasing
heat which surrounds them, who, let
us ask. will descend to the bottom
And who will come to the surface :
A brief period of time, and that only,
will give decisive answer to these
questions.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

1t is straightforward document,
drawn in plain English. and has the
redeeming feature of being both clear
and concise. II contains many practl-
cal suggestions, one of which relates
to the law regulating peddlers' licen-
ces, which. under present provisions,
operates grievously in some instances.
Another is found in hint about city
charters. The suggestion that char.
ter should be submitted TO the people
before it is presented to the legisla.
ture, is a good one. The better sug-
gestion. however, is that a general
law, like that for villages, be passed
for the incorporation Of cities.
