THE Manitowoc River is cutting up
strange pranks this month. The mild
winter must have led to some mistakes
in longitude as well as in latitude. 4
rapid current sets in from the lake every
hour, SO rapid as to cause eddies avolnd
the piles which support the bridge, and to
cause the river to rise fully twelve inches.
After while the current cha n3es ana
the water flows toward the lake as ia1;d-
ly as does shallow stream when swol-
len by heavy rains. 1t is very curious
phenomenon and is attracting considers
able attention. The depth of water in
the river, as shown by the piles, varies
from twelve to -f5ulteen in, hes every
hour.

TIE schooner J. Kelderiouse, of Chi

Ihe-sehooner Dan Sickles went ashore
at St Joseph, Wis, Saturday. Some

A fleet Of 100 vessels is at Port Dal-

The tug Leviatban was found to have

left for Mackiraw on Tuesday.
The Trio Concert Company were
greeted by a large audience Oh Thursday
night. We venture the opinion that the
performance exceeded the expectations
OF all who attended and that all went
away well pleased with the manner in
which they were entertained. The sing

tons, those difficult passages into which
education leads nature, to challenge the
criticism of musical adopts and bore the
untutored. Those who have natural love
for concert of sweet sounds" enjoyed
the musical part, as doubtless also did
those whose educated tastes could ap-
preciate something whose difficulty of
performance would compensate for any
lack Of melody. The s'Concert" was a
combination of everything represented
on the stage. A little more singing
would add very much to its excellence.
We are satisfied that the substitution Of
the ''Suanee River" for the ''Grand
Medley" would meet the general approx
al of every audience before whom the
troupe may perform. There was a gen
eral feeling of disappointment when the
trio concluded that macthless little song
after singing one verse. Everybody, like
OiverTwist''w wanted more" The mimetic
part OF the performance was well execut
ed. Forester and Stanley are consum-
ate actors. Though the personation of
Young lady of the period by the latter was
well nigh perfect, for some reason it was
distressing. and while 1t elected admira
ton for its undoubted excellence it failed
to give pleasure. The slang expression
''immense" describes Forester. His
acting made many sides ache with laugh
ter and of itself was well worth the price
of admission.

If there is any subject with which we
fear to grapple, it is one involving a
knowledge OF music The consciousness
that something had to be said about the
concert of Thursday has been a haunting
terror which deprived us of rest and i'm
paired our appetite. We applied to
Kirwan, knowing the versatility OF his
genius and hoping that little pleading
would induce him to give Us common
tary on the affair or at least devise some
means by which the cup would pass from
US. He told Us to go to the-to go to
Walker, that he was authority on such
subjects. To him we repaired. Walker
did Mt know that the courtesies of the
profession would allow him to pat him

RUDE Smart was developing quite taste
for music and loved to descaat on good
singing. We found Rube revising tie

He proposed TO wager a free lunch of pigs

would clean out the Milwaukees if CaIl
Schmidt would umpire the game Our
mind was not on base ball matters and
50 we adroitly purloined cigar from
| Rube's vest pocket and then stated our
wants. His mind was so immersed in
base ball that it could not readily be
withdrawn from it and he expressed the
firm belief that We could wax any club

that he was willing to put mp q beer

In times past burglars have avoided
Meme rs they would the plague, being
either afraid of ''warm reception" OF

''gobble" from The poor but thrifty in
habitants. But hard times or some 9TH

On Sunday night last the dwelling OF
VIM. Danf0rth vas entered by one Of
the light fingered gentry and valuable
watch and chain taken therefrom. Mr.
ID. says he was awakened by a peculiar
traniping at about o'clock but as it
suddenly ceased he imagined the noise
was made by some of the inmates, and
again sought natures sweet restorer,
balmy sleep. The room usually occu-
pied by his sister and daughter was ten
antless that night and it was from here
the articles were stolen. Mr.. Danforth
believes that the thief entered the parlor
window, which was unfastened, some
time during the night, and he also be
heyes him to be one that is we'll acquaint-
ed with the premises. Mr. d. will spare
no efforts in ferreting out the thief; but
should he remain undiscovered and sue
cess urge him to repeat the experiment,
then woe be unto him as Bill is full OF
''pluck," a close observer and a dead
shot
While on this topic may also observe
that some sneak thief recently entered
the cellar OF David Davis and stole there
from about 60 pounds of pork. This is
small business and should the perpetra
tor be caught he will probably be made
al example of-an example that will be
cited and dwelt upon for ages to come.
Politicians are around laying pipes eau

They are all willing to do the fair thing,

to occasionally call to mind the words of
the celebrated Scottish poet.

Disappointed observers in this vicinity

Disappointed observers in this vicinity,
who failed to catch a glimpse of the sun
through riffs in the cloudy veil that over
spread the sky Monday will be glad to know
that better fortune favored the scientists who
journeyed into the wilderness of the West to
view the total eclipse. Dispatches from the
expeditionists at Creston and Rawlins,
Wyoming Territory, show that the observers
did their work under very favorable condi-
tions, and that the results are in the highest
degree satisfactory. With an unobstructed
eclipse the astronomers have secured even
more than their best expectations. The
Photographic, tasimeiric, spectoroscopic and
polariscopic observation Of the corona are
complete, and broad basis of reliable data
is formed on which further investigations
can be commenced. 1t is scarcely necessary
to call the readers attention to the import
ant amendments the observations of Mon
day will introduce into theory of solar phys
les. Regarding the conditions of the corona
it is shown that its brilliancy is due to the
suns diffused light, and not to the local
gaseous combustion. Many other equally
important points have been determined, but
perhaps the most interesting information
received is that relating to the probable dis
covery of an intra-M Mercurial planet. Can
this be lie Verrier's Vulcan? The men of
science, who jealously critcse each others
pretentions to discovery, and do this in the
interests Of science, can best determine. On
the whole the people can safely congratulate
the observers on their work and the world
of science on the results.
