MONDAY and Monday night brought
the deepest snow and the worst snow
drift of the winter. Pedestrians had
to leave the sidewalk and take to the
middle of the street to make advance
progress. Such snow and drift are of
seldom occurrence in Kenosha.

In all diseases affecting these organs, whether

with aches and pains settled in the loins over the

The month Of Ramazan is kept by all
good Mussutmans as period of the
the strictest fast during the day, from
sunrise to sunset; they abstain not only
from food of any kind whatever, but
even from liquids, taking no drop of
water during that time; they suspend
also in the enjoyment of Tobacco,
which is scarsely less indispensable to
to their daily life. As a compensation
for these rigorous privations, the night
is partly devoted to feasting. For the
rich and idle, who pass in sleep the
greater part of their days of penitence,
the suffering is considerably lessened; !;
but for the poorer classes, for workmen
and servants, the Ramazen, when it
falls during the long days of the not
Summer months, is cruelty severe; and
and it is to be remarked that precisely
these hard-working and laboring
'faithful'' are those that hold most
strictly to their religious obseryances.
Aged people and children are not re-
quired to keep the fast of Ramazen; and
women in delicate health are also freed
from the obligation for the time, but
they are expected to make up the re-
quired number Of pemtential days
before its recurrence in the ensuing
year; and the ill-advised visitor who
may risk visit to harem as that
season is drawing near is sure to find

A correspondent of the Chicago
Journal writing from New York,
says:
A half century or more ago there
was poor waif of a girl floating about
the streets of New York seeking in
vain for employment to earn bread
money for herself and parents. But her
little feet travelled hither and thither in
vain. No one wanted her services, and,
turn where she would, she encountered
only reDuffs and unkindnesses. In her
despair novel idea struck her. She
would go to tea store, get trusted for
pound of tea if she could not buy it,
and then, doing it up in small packages,
hawk it about from house to house and
appeal to people to purchase from her
for charity's sake. She Immediately
proceeded to put the idea into execu-
tiOn. She was attractive and taking in
her manner and succeeded beyond her
most sanguine expectations. She soon
began to have regular customers, and
in time was able to employ other girls
to assist her, Then she, in few years,
was able to open n store of her own.
From this time her profits increased
rapidly. She had established reputa-
store from all over the city. Having
laid up in bank many thousands of dol
lars, she decided she would purchase or
hire a ship and go herself to China for
a cargo of tea, and she actually did this,
going herself with the vessel, penetrat-
ing into the interior of the country, and
making purchases at first cost, and thus
to great advantage. She returned to
New York with her cargo, and realized
a large amount of money from it's sale.
She is very foud of narrating her ad-
ventures on this voyage, and telling
how kindly and handsomely she was
everywhere received by the children of
the Flowery Kingdom. Shes has re-
manned single, and is now in receipt of
large revenue from the handsome for
tune she has accumulated.
Such in brief is the story of Susan
King, the female tea merchant Of New
York. Though it reads like romance
it is none the less true, and should
serve as stimulus and incentive to
those girls and women who, though
anxious to do something, complain that
there are no avenues of labor open to
their sex.

Reaction Against the Movement in Favor
of New Territory.

The Crook City Tribune of June Z,
says:
There has been e great amount of
talk about new territory here, which
in our opinion was waste of breath.
In the first place this country, al
though it is fully as important as it is
claimed by its reasonable friends, is not
so extensive as to require separate
government of its own, although we be-
lieve that it will eventually grow and
settle up to proportions that will fairly
entitle us to such an organization, but
at present it is altogether premature.
Dakota, as territory, does not want
to give up her share of the. Hills. Nor
does Wyoming desire to get rid of her
portion of the Hills, and it must be
recollected that to any such move there
are two parties, those to be set off, and
those to lose their territory. The
wishes of each should be regarded, and
the mere political aspirations Of lot
of carpet-baggers, will have no more
weight than will the opinions and ex-
pressions of the delegates and congress
men who are equally interested, and
have moreover q vote in the matter.
Everybody raised great hue and cry
when county organization was forced
upon us, composed of men who were
new among us, and who had no other

UNIOHiSM.

The trade unions are receiving some
pretty hard knocks just now. The
practical failure of the strike of the To-
comotiYe engineers on the Reading
road, seems to have exerted strong
effect on the working class, which has
already resulted in the dissolution of a
large and powerful organization. The
moulders of Albany have for some
time past been on strike; but it is
now ended, with the determination of
the strikers to cut adrift from such Or
CARNATIONS in the future. The conse-
sequence is, union that in the past
kind, is broken up. Hereafter the men
will be bound by no arbitrary rules;
will not be at the mercy of the few
reckless demagogues who, without any
of the ties which bind man of family,
always provoke the strikes. The fall
lacy of the claim that, without such or
ganization, skilled labor will not be
paid as it ought, will be shown to these
men. There never was greater error
than that. Good work is a commodity
that will always receive its true value.
Competent workmen may increase,
and thus cut down wages, but that is a
law which men cannot rebel against.
Trade unions benefited the idle, disso-
lutte, and incompetent workmen, not
the man who could honestly earn his
money. Intelligent men know this, but
the strength and power of the organi-
zation would have crushed them here
tofore, if an attempt had been made to
cast off the chains. Intelligent labor
will always be enabled to take care of
itself in this country. There is none
of the danger threatening it which men
aces the European. An attempt to
oppose it in America will work its own
effect,

4 WONDERFUL INVENTION,


An invention all frugal wives Will appreciate
in fact, an article that even rivals the sewing
machine in uscfulncss-is how on exhibition at
the Broadway store Of the Wilson Sewing Ma
chine Company in this city; yet it is SO wonder
fully simple that 1t can scarcely be classed as an
invention, and q wonder to everybody that it
was not discovered years ago. The invention
consists in a very simple little attachment Of
the Wilson shuttle scwlng-machine for darning
al ki1hls Of rips, tcars worn-out places, csc., in
clothing, table aud bed linen, stockings, under
wear, etc., III the same manner that it is
done by nand, and leaves the repaired part
scarcely disccrniblc. The operator ut the sew
int.-machnc can darn d 1argr-s'zcd hole in bed
sheet or tabIc-cloth almost instantaieonsly. 1t
is to be regretted, however, that this wonder
full invention is patented and owned by the
Wilson Sewing Machine Company, OF Chicago,
ILL.,, who will not permit its Use except with one
OF its make Of sewing-mavhincs, which, the
Company's manager statcs, is furnished with
each Of the Wilson shuttle sewing machines
without extra price. Truly, this is golden

was wisely gi-cn. The chief attraction Of the
picture lies in the expression Of the beautifully

millions of new insurance mas secured at q

or about 50 per cent, was terminated BY lapse
