The wolf asked the goat to dinner, but
the goat declined.
A fox sleeps, but counts hens in his
dreams.
The wolf changes his hair every year,
but remains wolf.
Dog, why do you bark? To brighten
the wolves away. Dog, why do you
keep your tail between your legs? 1 am
afraid Of the wolf.
Love, fire, and cough cannot be hid.
Make friends with bear, but keep

Measure ten times; you can cut only
once.
Everything is bitter TO him that has
gall in his mouth.
Bread and salt humble even a robber.
A full stomach is deaf to instruction.
Ii you hunt two haFes you will catch

God is not in haste, but his a5a is
sure.
You may shut the door on the devil,
but he will enter by the window.

No bones are broken by mothers

Many will give advice; few give help.
To whom God gives employment He

Whose bread and whose salt I eat,

A good conscience is Gods eve.

When you walk, pray once; when you

thath has rashly advertised his knavery.
his malice and his mental deficiency to
the whole country.
The other individual, Dennis, has
been wiser. His confession so far has
been confined to oral statements. He
| denies that he ever did any wrong, but
he claims that he "knows who did" and
he is induced to confess because Hayes
sis weak Drained fraud" and the
greatest traitor since Judas. Dennis is
| clearly under contract to the Democrats
to swear to whatever may be necessary
to make out the case for Tilden. He of
fers no explanation of his silence for
over eighteen months; but it is not diff
cult to reach a clear conclusion. If the
public prosecutor of this county will Of
fer immunity from punishment for past
crimes whereof the parties are indicted,
he can obtain from the county jail or
other prisons of the State all the wit
nesses he may need who will swear to
any fact of any kind that he may sug-
gest. We suppose he could obtain
abundant testimony, such as is will be,
from indicted parties, to the effect that
Illden really carried the State of IL
hnois, and that the returns were manip-
ulated and forged SO as to give the vote
OF the State to Hayes. The witnesses
would be influenced by precisely the
same motive which seems to have con-
trolled the scoundrel Dennis-the dis
missal of criminal accusations against
them.
The weakness of the whole case is
shown in the purpose for which this tes-
timony is taken. The Democrats donot
propose to use it for the purpose Of cues
tloning the Presidents title to his oface.
as that they know is unquestionable.
They propose to use it as moral indict-
ment of the Republican party in the
election of 1880. On the other hand,
the lmplacables who are instigating
these proceedings have fog their object.
not the removal of the President. but TO
have something with which to threaten
him, to hold over him i2a ferrorena-to
be used, first, to coerce him into chang
ing his Cabinet, and next accepting Con
gresslonal dictation as regards his ap-
pointments, or, in case this fails, to pun
ish him personally by attaching to his
administration the stigma of fraud and
disgraceful assumption of an Office to
which he was never entitled. The
fabrication of evidence for such pur-
poses is calculated to- arouse the indig-
nation of the country, and will prove to
be proftless to the factions who are re-
sponslble for the shameless proceeding.

Children's Life in Japan.

Children in Japan lead a very differ
ent life from that seen here and in Flu
rope; yet there are similarities that seen
strange when we consider how recen
the intercourse has been between japan
and the outside world, and how children
games would be the last to be imported
by q Jealous and exclusive people.
The seaside, of course, offers the same
attractions to the young in all parts Of
the world, and Japanese children, like
our own, paddle into the water, AND
soon learn to use line and net to secure
the fish and crabs, and give chase gen
orally to everything that is bright OF
strange; tread for shellfsh, SWIM and
caper to their hearts content.
Japanese children do not cry, travel
ers tell us, and it is almost true.
The child is taken out into the air
almost as soon as born, and from that
time lives in the open air. The poor
woman slips her infant between her
chemise and kerilnon as she goes to her
feld-work. You will often see little
bald head behind woman's chignon.
At home the child is left to itself to roll
about On the mats, get upon its feet
when it can, and try to walk. There is
no danger, or very little, in rooms abso-
lutely destitute of furniture: with moth
ing to tumble over or knock against.
As pets and playthings, Japanese
children have little, stumpy-legged dogs,
SO fat that they cannot be cross, and
little tailless cats, their white fur spot
ted with yellow and black. These kit
tens are very lazy, very affectionate, but,
even when grown up, very poor mousers.
They love play, and stand the utmost
teasing and mauling at the hands Of the
children.
Every house has an aquarium, with
gold and silver fish, or other delizens of
the water, cage with singing-b bird, or
cages with butterflies and katydids.
All children, even of the poorest, learn
to read, write and cipher, how or when
you never seem to see, for there is no
compulsory education, and no apparent
pressure to produce the result.
In the playground the children, as
they grow, dance hands all round, roll
their hoops, play battledore and shut
tlecock with fans and worsted butter
flies.
The older carry the children pick-a-
back, or ride wooden horses to amuse
them. Tops, iackstones, balls, kites,
bhndman's buff-all are favorites with
Japanese children. The boys soon
learn to swim, and, as the great national
athletic exercise is wrestling, they train
themselves to it from an eally age, and
a couple of tiny wrestlers soon attract a
crowd, where the admiration felt is as
great as that exhibited by their elders at
the exhibitions of the professional
wrestlers.

Morocco Leather,

Morocco leather is made from goat
skins, tanned in sumach, dyed in the
ordinary way, having been previously
immersed in a solution of sulphuric
acid; and the grain or stamping upon it
is done either by hand or by machinery,
similar to that for the purpose of dieing
or granting. Very fine small skins for
gloves are often prepared by immersion
ii a solution of alum and salt, instead of
tannin, -four and the yelk Of eggs being
afterward applied to soften and whiten.
Buff leather, not now quite so much in
request as in former days, was at first
made from the skin of an animal called
the buffe, or urus, which was then COM
mon in Western Europe. When new.
the leather was always a tawny yellow.
and the skins gave the name to the
color. Cordovan leather was first made
at Cordoya, at Spain, from hides dressed
to be used with the grain side outward.
1t was from this leather that the title Of
cordwainer came. Russia leather is
tanned in an infusion Of willow or birch
bark, and derives its peculiar and long,
enduring odor from the birch oil with
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1878-05-02

which it is dressed. Levant leather is
first "struck out" in warm water on a
mahogany table, "blacked" with log
wood and iron liquor, then polished by
revolving rollers, and grained up" by
the workman with corking board on
table. The grain is set into the leather
in hot stove, and after this it is oiled
with eod-oil. In finishing japanned
leather the iapanning mixture is worked
by the hand alone. This mixture con-
sists simply of inseed-oil and Prussian
blue, the last coat beng of linseed-oil
and lamp black, put evenly over the sur
face as it lies spread out on a table. No
machine has, as yet, been made to super
sede the hand in this part of the work.
In the backing of skins mixture of OK
blood and acetate of iron is now very
often used Good Words.

Southern COlored Methodists.

A schism is reported among the col
ored Methodists in the South. A new
church has been organized at Atlanta.
Tie members say they withdrew because
too heavy burdens were imposed on
them by the Bishop of the church.
There are six colored Bishops in the
church, every one of whom lives in the
North, and they require each of the col
ored Methodist conferences in Georgia
to pay 81, 500 year, or So, 1000 between
them. The Bishops seldom come South,
and the reformers say they do no good
when they come, but only ask for money.
1t is asserted they get nearly $4,000 a
year from all the negro Methodists Ia
the South.

Failures in the First Quarter of 1878.

AS an indication of the course of bust
ness, we give below the failures for the
first three months Of 1878, and at the
same time, for the purpose of COMPARE
son, the failures for the corresponding
period of 1877 and 1876. We regret
that it is not more encouraging in it's as
pect; but it should be remembered that
we have passed through an exceptional
winter, probably the worst that has been
experienced in it's effect upon the gener-
al retail trade of the country during the
past twenty years. The results antici-
pated from the abund ant crops have not
been realized, and stocks purchased to
supply wants have been absolutely un-
salable, and, moreover, have had Of
necessity to be sacrificed. The shrink
age Of resources during the past six
months has undoubtedly, in the aggre-
gate, been enormous, and has contributed
to swell the figures of the failures for
the past quarter. It may also be borne
in mind that the constant extension of
the operations of the Mercantile Agency,
by the opening ofnew offices, etc., has a
tendency to bring into it's classification a
smaller class of traders whose wants are
purely local, thereby increasing the
number reported, and that this also con.
tributes naturally to swell the number OF
| failures:

who will follow them if they can get the

consideration. This emigration fever is
not Of sudden origin, nor is it confined
to South Carolina. The desire to go
back to Africa is as strong in some
of the districts along the coast as
ever was the feeling of the Irish people
to come over here, and in every part of
the South the colored people, especially
the poor and unemployed, are casting
longing eyes to the land of promise. II

What must be the opinion of Lon>
don reader who to-day picks up north
ern paper and reads the leading editorial
upon affairs down South. Indeed, he
must think that We are degenerate sons OF

which originally came from our mother
country has gone into such a state Of
disease that the pulse of our people
beats only at fever heat; and then, too
only for blondshed and sar- Lit Rars
be amusing to sit down and quietly read
what is written Of us. To the humble
citizen who has good digestion, and who
feeds and counts his pigs and chickens
regularly, such reading is really so full

Judge Kersilaw.

We are not of that class of men who
because a man is in power, continually
laud and praise him, neither are we
ready always to apply the lash of abuse
to one who is under the ban. The first
is of the Sycophant order; the latter is
cowardly. But it does give US 50 much
pleasure to applaud good man, who
continually discharges his duty. that We
rejoice to pay even feeble tribute to
the distinguished gentleman whose name
heads this article. He has been hold>
ing Court in Charleston now for several
weeks, and from the Grand Jury, the
highest body 10 the country, he receives
praise. This is not all, but from all
private sources We hear a we'll done for
Judge..kershaw. He has traverssd nearly
the whole State, and he has reflected
credit and honor upon the exalted posi-.
tion that he occupies. Gen. Kershaw
is a gentleman of the old type. To
stoop to conquer he never would or
could. His generous heart is always
for mercy, aad even in the stern and
infexible duties that are always upon
him, and which be so acceptably per-
forms, we know frequently he pit;es with
Christian pity-bigh, noble and true
in the carrying out Of these sworn obli-
cations. We confess that we are proud
of him, and most earnestly do We wish
that we could change his commission
from four years to life, or until he is
oaled to a more lofty and honored place,
if, indeed, there is such place. We
trust that the Judge may be spared

for numberof years South Carolina he'd

gence is received by US that amputation
of the leg of Gov. Hampton has been
found necessary. This will be bitter

accident They had prayed and hoped
that soon he would again be restored to

Upon the very day Of this amputation
the people of South Carolina through
their representatives with one r0ice
called him to higher and newer hon

tribute to his worth, that while sur
ceons stood around his sick bed at his
