WANTED TT so IT WOULD
HOTD

A couple from Brown county who had
reached the meridian of life and who
knew of the iniquities of the great world
on! y from report, concluded that life in
the state of Michigan, would be attended
with enjoyments unknown to the inhabi-
tants of Brown county, and turned their
faces to this land of promise. They
were prudent couple, and having heard
of the readiness with which marriage
bonds are dissolved in goddess cities, and
perhaps having some faint idea that
McCoskrey was ubiquitous in the peninsu-
lar state, they resolved to guard against
all possible evil in that direction by hay
ing the Gordian knot SO tied as to repel
the attempts of divorce lawyers or cler-
zeal libertines. They had been married
In the early summer of their Tires by a
clergyman, but, like Touchstone, they
thought he did not ''marry them WELL
and would never do for people going
through Chicago to Michigan. Nor did
they have sufficient confidence in the
ability of a Brown county justice to in
vest the ceremony with sufficient solemn
ity to make the ties indissoluble. Ac-
cordingly they repaired to a justice in
Manitowoe Rapids, stated their wants
and were bound so tight that even the
Michigan legislature cannot undo the
knot

BoTH sides of the Pilot this week has
been printed at home. Our present in
come by no means justifes the increased
expense which this change necessitates.
But we have resolved to spare no pains
to make the PILOT a paper which the
citizens of Manitowoc need not be
ashamed Of. We incur no slight addi-
tional expense in having the entire paper
published at home, but we hope that it
will add to its popularity and in time
compensate us for what is now losing
enterprise. The success of the PILOT
will be commensurate with the support
it receives from the citizens of Manito-
voc county. Its prosperity interests us
financially; it should interest the people
Of the county generally. A good paper
is necessary to the advancement of the
interests of the whole county. 1t should
enlist the sympathy and cordial support
of all who wish to see the county well
represented in this respect.

AN intricate and perplexing case was
lately tried before Judge Kirwan. Some
parties living in Newton had had some
difficulty about boundary lines between
their lands. Each party employed diff
ierent surveyors and those failed to
agree Ill fixing the line, and so made
confusion worse confounded." Some
one drew out the stake set by the sur
yeyor employed by one of the parties to
the dispute. An action was brought for
having removed this land mark. Several
witnesses testified that they saw the per-
son charged with the offense, remove the
stake. 1t would seem that the people of
Newton are all anxious to be credited
With the notoriety of having broken the
law by pulling that stake, for almost
every witness examined insists that he
himself pulled the stake. There is but
one stake and host of contestants for
the honor of having extracted it, The
Judge don't know just what to do, but
thinks he will have some stakes manu-
featured so that each witness may have
one. This would certainly simplify the
matter.

THE Chronicle moralizes "thusly" on
the Beecher scandal:
We are unable to see how the promi-
hence of implicated parties can make a
crime of this kind, either in its private
commission or public confession, any
more interesting to disinterested people
than though the parties to the illicit
transaction were unknown to fortune
and to fame" Let US, how
ever, endeavor to profit by the many
moral lessons % it will undoubtedly
teach.

The town board met on Saturday and
established retail liquor dealers license
at SO. Some saloon keepers wished
to inuagurate the ''Centeryille SYSTEM"
viz: the poor of the town to be supported
by the saloon keepers in view of the pay
ment of the license money. This ''sys-
tenn it is said, worked to q charm in our
neighboring township; but inasmuch rs
there is not even the color of law for
such novel ''agreement" and as there
are no poor in our town, the supervisors
couldn't see the point and imposed the
license without dissenting voice. Gen.
terville has queer law makers and the
supervisors of Meeme, it seems, do not
see fit to follow in their footsteps.

The last Legislature has judiciously
prohibited judicial Officers from bringing
actions in their own courts for claims
placed in their hands for collection.
The practice which has prevailed of hay

in the same case was well calculated to
insure injustice. 1t is strange that this
palpable incongrnity was not sooner per-
eeived by the legislature. 4 violation of
the law is punishable by fine and the per
