ANY communication without the sig
nature of the writer, never finds a place
in the PILcT. Let our Cato friend bear
this in mind. And let him also under
stand that the PILor can not be used to
set forth insulting personalities.

Though the great demand Of the times
IS ''more work, . farmers find it difficult
to obtain help at two dollars a day.
Many persons guard either end of the
Eighth street bridge with perseverance
worthy of better cause, waiting Micaw-
ber,like for something ''to turn up. .
Whenever these men are approached by a
farmer with an offer of 81 per day FOR the
harvest, shrag of the shoulder is tie
only response The farmer goes home
thinking kindly of the tramp who suffers
from mans inhumanity to man.

4 NAN named Andrew Larson living in
Manitowoc Rapids had an experience last
week with one Of the genus taurus. He
was trying TO place a rope on the horns
OF a bull, who heretofore was a mild
hammered beast, when he attacked Larson
and threw him against post in the barn.
\ horn passed on each side of the mans
body iDjuring his sides but not seriously.
The space between the horns, Was just
sufficient for the mans body with little
tight squeezing. That bull will soon be
converted into beef.

are exceedingly low and. at such prices
as we make to-day, ought to go into
general use.
Our feature this week, is the great re-
daction in prices on all Perfumes.
Toilet Soaps, Brushes and Combs.
These reductions are not fictitious-con-
sisting merely of saying so; really not
changing prices-but the actual chang
ing of margins from what is usually con-
sidered drug profits to regular grocery
rates. This is no small changewe assure
you.
WHAT the towns of this county need as
an auxiliary Of the common schools, are
good libraries. Few of the young men
in the country towns feel that they are
able to invest a sufficient amount Of
money to procure a library which will
give them the necessary amount and va
riety of reading. Toll becomes weari-
some, deadens mental activity and re-
duces farmers to the level of ignorant
laborers when reading is entirely neglect
ed. The education received at the COM
mon school cease to be of value in that
it is not employed to enlarge the ideas
proportionately with the increase of ex-
perience, is not used as a means of intel
hgent recreation and is. 70 aid in the
management Of a farm.
The dissatisfaction which impels young
men to leave the farm to earn livelihood
in other avocations has its origin mainly
in the fact that manual labor almost en-
tireiy excludes intellectual exercise. III
farmers would use their minds more, their
labor would be more lucrative and their
time would pass more pleasantly. The
young men of Meme, principally
through the efforts Of Mr.. Carey, hive a
! public library which is q credit to the
town and a source OF profit to its mem.
begs. The influence Of that library is
qnite apparent in the character and
standing in the county of the young men
Of that town. They have an enyiable
reputation for sobriety, industry and In
telligence. They read great deal and
their business seems to prosper all the
more for it. We venture the opinion
that more newspapers are taken in thai
town than III any other town in the coun-
J ty and that as intelligent opinion on pub.
lie affairs can be elected in conversation
with those farmer students as can be
drawn from any class OF men in the state
who earn their bread by toll.
Why can not other towns act us wisely
as Meme in this matter? 1t does not
cost much to establish library and the
amount of good to be derived from it is
almost incalculable The young men will
/ be induced TO cultivate good habits and
eschew the evil. Farming Will seem less
laborious and long step will be taken
/ toward inlhuing labor with Intelligence.
The library is scarcely second in impor-
lance to the public school. They should
receive equal attention.

MEs. BELYEA, wife OF Captain Belyea
of the Inflated schooner Magellan has
been in the city a part OF this week. Mrs.
Belyea is lady Of culture and pleasing
manners and her visit to this city has
decpened the sympathy of our citizens
for her bereavement. Captain Belyea
was part owner Of the schooner which
he commanded and the same disaster
which deprived Mrs. Belyea of loving
husband also deprived her Of all means
OF support except what might come
through her own personal eXertions. at
the time of his death Captain Belyea was
somewhat in debt, but bis wife with i
rare degree Of honesty which does her
credit, sold her furniture and with the
proceeds liquidated the debt. She speaks
Of the crew, who shared the fate of her
husband, as sober, industrious and re-
spectacle people. Her husband made it
a point to employ none Of any other char
acter Such Of the relatives of the crew
as she met, express the deepest gratitude
toward the people Of Manitowoc for their
liberal charity.
Mrs. Belyea believes, as do a majority
OF the people acquainted with the cir
cumstances, that the Magellan went
down by collision. 1t is a severe criti-
cism Oh those whose duty it is to inquire
into this matter, that no effort has been
made to fathom the mystery which en-
yelopes this tragic affair.

Is always full, without the appearance of any
regular supply. This lake has been said to
be unfathomable, but the contrary Is now as
Certained.
About seventeen miles from this lake Is
another, called Loeb Vain, which is covered
with ice all the year around. On the top OF
q ridge of mountains In Portugal, called Es-
trelia there are two lakes of great extent and
depth, especially one of them, which is said
TO be unfathomable. What is most remarka-
bic in them is that they are calm when the
sea Is So and rough when that is stormy,
which makes 1t probable that they have sub
terraneous communication with the ocean,
and this seems to be confirmed by the pieces
OF the vessels they occasionally cast up,
though almost forty miles from the sea.
There Is also another very curious lake in
this country which, before q storm, makes o
frightful rumbliDg noise that may be, heard
at the distance OF several miles. And there
is q pool or fountain called Fervancas, about
twenty-four miles from Coimbra, that alb
serbs not only wood, but even the lightest
bodies thrown into 1t, such rs cork. feathers,
straw, etc, which sink to the bottom and are
seen no more. To these may be added re-
markable spring near Eremos, which petri-
fies wood, or rather incrusts 1t with case OF
stone; but the most surprising circumstance
Is that it throws up water enough In summer
to turn several mills, whereas In winter 1t is
perfectly dry.
