would the strict enforcement of the

morals ebb and flow, not perhaps
with their regularity but, at least,
with their certainty of recurrence

exhausted Itself, is followed by

seems TO have fixed cure in the dis

During the year just closed republican institutions
and the permaneHcy OF our government was subjected
to new and unexpected trials. For the first time in
our history the question as to who was legally elected
president left in great uncertainty The politi-
cal campaign had been one OF uneXampled activity
and enthusiasm. and it should occasion no surprise
that men formed opinions and were governed more
by prejudice than The experiences of other
nations under somewhat similar circumstances were
well calculated to inspire grave concern in the minds
of all rejecting men. 1t was therefore not without
eason that the action OF congress in organizing the
electoral commission was hailed by the great MAORI
ty of the patriotic citizens bencent deliverance
from great peril They felt that it was vastly i'm
portant that some settlement should be had under
the ferns of law which all good citizens could accept
and recognize as conclusive. A decision was rem
dered and it became the duty of every citizen to &C
cept it and abide thereby: Any attempt therefore,
to throw dscredit upon the decision made or to i'm
pugn the motives or integrity of any of the eminent
gentlemen composing that tribunal tends to weaken
the public respect for law, and should be uRreserved
ly discoHntenanced. ivy I.s Iaua
No little uneasness is felt in regard to the posi-
b1llty OF recurrence of circumstances similar to
those which necessitated the appointment of the
electoral commission, and doubt not you will
agree with me in the expression of the opinion that
it is the imperative duty of Congress to provide such
methods of procedure for conducting future presi-
Dental elections as will allow the will of the people
to be both freely and fairly expressed at the ballot
box, and as thus expressed, ascertained with
tainty and without suspicion of fear, favor, or
hope OF reward.
- -'i' CONCLUSION.
4 should be doing myself injustice to close this
communication without expression of my earnest
conviction that the president of the United States,
with the purest and highest motives is striving to
execute the high trusts committed to him in the in
erests Of the whole people, and that in the efforts he
has made for the pacltcation OF the south, the
rection of abuses in the civil service and return to
stable currency, he is peculiarly entitled to the
generous and discriminating confidence of his fellow
citizens.
Yielding to no man in devotion to the party of my
choice nevertheless most heartily subscribe to the
maxim that he serves his party best who his
country best. Guided by the spirit of this maxim,
which is only less applcablein state than in national
affairs your labor here, as legislators, cannot be
otherwise than pleasant to yourselves and salts
factory to your constituents. Guided by it, my
constant purpose will be to cooperate with you to
advance and protect all the varied interests of Wis
consin and her people. WILLIAM u. SMITH.

a Human Body and the Hour Of
Dav

Seat yourself at table. Attach a
piece Of metal (say shilling) to a
thread. Having your elbow on table,
hold the thread between the points of
the thumb and forefpger and allow the
shilling to hang in the center Of a glass
tumbler; the pulse will Immediately
cause the shilling to vibrate like pen
dulum, and the vibrations will increase
until it strikes the side of the glass; and
suppose the time Of the experiment be
the hour Of seven, or half-past seven, the
pendulum will strike the glass seven
times, and then lose its momentum and
return to the center. If you hold the
thread a sufficient length of time the eff
feet will be repeated; but not until a suf-
fcient space Of time has elapsed to con-
vince you that the experiment is com
plete. We need not add that the thread
must be held in a steady hand, otherwise
thevibrating motion would be counter
acted. At whatever hour of the day or
night the experiment is made, the coin
cidence will be the same.

Washington's Boots.
From the Boston Globe.


A quaint little shoemaker, who has
hammered leather and patched old boots
for years and years, has in his dusty shop
in Cambridge pair of mouldy old cav
airy boots. These boots, the old man
says, were left by George Washington
when he first came to Cambridge to take
command of the American army. He
wanted them heeled and soled, and prom
ised the venerable shoemaker that he
would call for them in day or two, but he
never came for them, and they are still
hanging On peg in the shop. In talk
ing of them the old cobbler frequently
swears about the manner in which George
treated him. He says he met Washing
ton several times on Main street after he
had repaired the boots and told him that
they were ready and that he needed the
money, and George promised to come in
and get them, but he never did. The
old man has been advised to take the
ancient boots over to the Old South fair.

of fisheries abounds in interesting information
relative to this branch Of useful industry.
With very moderate expenditures, the commission
is, stocking our lakes and rivers with different
varieties of fish, and we may reasonably anticipate
ample returns in due time. The commissioners
ask for an appropriation of $4,000, to enable
them to carry on their work to September 30, 1872

formation of the several judicial circuits,
will be made directly to the legislature. 1t cannot
be expected, therefore, that should review or
criticise the work OF this commission. assume
that its members havep performed their labor with
conscientious thor oughness. esteem the reports
of all similar commissions as great aids to judi
