raj halls were finely decorated with
flowers kindly furnished by Messrs. j.

stock were among the hest ever made
Among the most notable were those of
Col. LIE Grand b. Cannon's herd of
short-horns from his stock farm in Burl-

ington, another herd of short-horns.
Boyden " Carter, of Randolph, had a
splendid herd of Jerseys, numbering
eighteen. S. f. Ray of Phillipsburg,
Quebec, entered a fine herd of twenty
three horses. The exhibit of sheep
was rather secondary to that of horses
and cattle. There was very good ex-
hibition of Kansas products. A fine
herd of sixteen Ayrshires and short
horns were entered by W. F. Ray of
Phillipsburg, Quebec. 1t was univer-
sally conceded that he had the finest
personal exhibit of stock on the
grounds. The average daily atten-
dance has been very large, and will
probably overrun three or four thous-
and per day. Some very excellent
trotting came off III the afternoons.

~ Japan is trying to establish all az

"a Japan is trying to establish all ag-
ricultural college. Vermont already
has one that has been in the full tide of
experiment for ten years. We trust
that the farmers of Japan will realize at
least as much benefit from their college
as the farmers of Vermont realize from
theirs. 1t is possible, however, that in y
heather empire difficulties may arise
such as a Christian republic knows
nothing of. II would be a sad thing to
hear from the far east, after ten years
trial, that the government funds be-
slowed upon the proposed institution
had been used for the education of bon
yes, damios, and physicians, and that no
branch of agriculture or horticulture
had ever been taught there, and conse-
quently not single student of agricul-
ture had entered its portals. If old pre-
cedents should remain in force SO long
in Japan, we should expect to hear that
the officials of that college had been
called upon, in the name of outraged
justice and in compliance with time
honored custom, to expiate their I'M
faithfulness by "hari-kari." We can
not be too thankful for the privileges
we enjoy, in this as in all other respects,
over the benighted yankee of Asia"

A glass vessel Theoretically sealed
and containing some kind of fluid was
lately found near Aliscamp, West Ar
les, and was placed in the French
Academy of Science. The celebrated
French chemist, Berthelot, obtained
permission to open it. when the liquid
was found to be wine of not less than
1000 years of age. As there was only
about one wine glassful of wine proba-
bly, no one will make a fortune on ole
wine. 1t was probably used in some
burial rite of the ancient Romans, as il
was found in an old Roman cemetery.

Whai i candidate for high Office is 40 well

make his defeat difficult in fair and honora-

business, whose prosperity they envy, and
with whose business sagacity they lave not
the talent to successfully compete in an hons

the mean, cowa7dly attacks made upon me
and my medicines, by those who imagine their
pecuniary prospects injured by the great pop

CURED, and the continued growt of my pro-
fessional practice Narrow minded practtion
ers of medicine, and manufacturers of prepa-
rations which do not possess sufficient merit
to successfully compete for popular favor,
have resorted to such cowardly strategy as to
publish all sorts of ridiculous reports about
the composition of my medicines. Almanacs,
"Receipt Books" and other pamphlets are is
sued and scattered broadcast over the land,
wherein these contemplate knaves publish
pretended analyses of my medicines, and re-
ceipta for making them. Some of these pu6li-

the real object in their circulation, which is

sy and utterly fail in accomplishing the object
of their authors, for, notwithstanding their free
circulation, my medicines continue to sell
more largely than any others manufactured in
this country, and are constantly incl easing III

Surveyor General of Dakota.

Col John G. Clark has received the
appointment of Surveyor General of
Dakota Territory. The appointment
came almost as surprise, and the
Colonel is receiving many coDgratula-
tons. We do not know that at this
time he had great desire for the po-
sition, but in appointing him Grant
has made as good a selection as he
has ever made in Wisconsin. More
than twenty-five years ago Col. Clark
surveyed many sections of Uncle
Sans farm in Northern Wisconsin
and Minnesota Much of it he did in
a season of the year when that whole
country was covered with slush. He
has many times, with his men, waded
the rapid waters of the St. Croix,
Chippewa, and Wisconsin, in mid
winter, when the water took them to
their arm-pits, and at night they slept
upon the snow without tent or shelter.
By this sort of energy he made his
contracts pay while others failed. He
has also had very extensive expert
enee in Missouri and Southern Iowa,
at laying out Congressional sections.
In the liue Of experience, therefore,
it would not be easy to find a more
fitting selection. Colonel Clark's
schooling as surveyor is also inferior
to none. After the completion of his
collegiate course an incident in his
life induced him to take up the study
of surveying as special accomplish
ment. Before eyer handling COM
pas he had mastered the study until
he could solve any problem known TO
the books. OF course his practice
added to his stock of knowledge on
the subject.
There are other reasons why the
selection is an excellent one. Colonel
Clark is man of the very highest
integrity. When business is in-
trusted to him every man who
knows him knows that it will
be energeticaIly and conscientiously
attended to. Sometime before the
war he was Clerk of the Court in
Grant County when he office was
worth about $500 a wear At the be
ginning of the war ne was sepresen-
tative in the Legislature. 1t the out.
set he was appointed Quartermaster of
the 9Th Wisconsin Regiment, in which
position, had he done rs many others
did, he couli have made a fortune
but from which he retired making
only well spent salary. lie was
then made Provost Marshal for this
Congressional District. This posi-
ton he resigned and became Colonel
of the 50th Wisconsin Regiment. This
regiment was sent hastily 10 differ
ent parts Of the country aud finally
north to quell the Indian disturbar ces.
In this undertaking Col. Clark dashed
on horseback over much Of the coun-
try he will now have supervision of
as Surveyor General. In all these
positions the Col0nel's record is not
only clear of any false or unseemly
mark but in all Of them he has made
a reputation for energy and ability.
Since the war closed he settled down
to the profession Of law, and has
gained a practice whca it may not
pay him to abandon for the sake of
the office now rendered him We
trust ne will not abandon it, nor his
his home in Lancaster. As inquiry IS
made as to whether he is appointed
for the purpose of removing Gen, W.
p. Dewey, we will state that we do
not so understand it. Mr.. Dewey's
term of four years has expired
