work III the logging camps is totally
suspended. During the early part of
the week most of the camps were doing
something, but on Wednesday the mild
weather broke up the ice roads, and
most OF the camps were compelled to
stop handling Some few hauled a
little up to Thursday night, but re-
ports received yesterday from all
points are to the effect that work has
completely stopped, The frost is most
ly out of the groud, and the weather
continues warm and mild. There is
no snow at all. On some of the
streams 40 per cent. of the logs skid
ded have been banked, on others 80,
and still others have not banked more
than Is or 30 per cent. of the cut. The
situation is particularly severe for job
bers many of whom will be ruined
unless the ensuing three weeks evol-
We weather entirely different from
anything experienced thus far this
winter. To render the situation still
more critical number of the hired
teams are coming out of the woods,
as they cannot afford to he,idle in the
camps, and neither could the con-
tractors afford to keep them; conse-
Guently, should there be a Snow fall,
the working force will be largely re-
duced. During the past week large
numbers of men and teams have pass
ed through the valley cities, en- route
for home. Unless the weather be-
comes cold enough to stiffen UP the
roads, the amount of logs put in from
this out will be very small, and even
in case Of freeze up, the balance Of the
season now left is SO short that it will
be impossible to make any very extern
sive addition to the quantity Of logs
now banked.

creation of art-whatever may be it's
origin, whether divine or humanity
which certain great, shadowy thoughts
ard ideas are attem pied to be repre-
sented to the mental apprehensions or
the faith of men. There are many de-
vout believers in the inspiration of
the ancient Scriptures who regard the
story of the creation and the fall of
Adam rehersed in the Book Of Genesis
as anything but literal representa-
ton of historic facts The essential
truth is in the narrative, but it is rep
resented in such way that the sim
plest mind can apprehend and make
use of it. The song of Solomon is a
very exquisite essay in the art of fc-
ton. If the Books of Esther and
Ruth are historical, they are certainly
nothing to us but stories with morals,
and very strong and beautiful stories
they are. The names of Ahasuerus
and Mordecai, Hannah and Esther are
nothing but names to the pr esent read
ing world, which means no more than
those of Daniel Deronda and Ralph
Vickelby and Clarissa Harlowe. Boaz
and Ruth might be Abelard and He
loise, OF any other lovers. The two
stories are to us simply stories, having
no significance particularly as history,
and no use, save as in an exquisite
form OF art they convey to US the NOR
al lessons with which they are charged.

One week ago to-day MI. F. Munson
| finished up his school at the Brass Ball
school house. and notwithstanding the
unlimited supply of mud at the time
there were fifteen or twenty visitors
present in the afternoon. School books
were laid aside and the time occupied
with singing, declarations, recitations
and reading. Some of the selections
were choice; others were mirth-provo-
king and quite oyercame the school
with laughter; the dialogues interspers-
ed were good, and "The School Com
mittee," spoken by nine happy schooI
girls,one of whom wore cap and specta-
cles with becoming gravity, made no
little merriment Nearly every pupil
in school fro11 the smallest unto the
greatest appeared on the rostrum with
a "piece," and it's not scarce too much
to say that the pieces were given with
fine effect, and that the girls did as
well as the boys. At length the time
came for the teacher TO say few last
words to the school which were scarce
ly said when Master Palmatier and
Miss Mary Belle Burgess stepped grace
fully forward with an offering Of a
pretty autograph album to the teach
er from his pupils, as token of their
regard.

From Paper by Dr.. Holland in Scribner for
March.
The oldest novel in existence is pro-
badly the Book of Job. We presume
there may be some men left who still
read the Book of Job as a veritable
history, but those who are capable Of
Judging, will simply place it at the
head OF the realm of fiction. That it
is divinelyr inspired we do not dispute.
Indeed, the establishment Of it's divine
inspiration as a fact, rather than the
acceptance Of it as a matter Of faith,
would only strengthen the position we
have always held, viz, that the highest
fiction is that which the most compe-
Ftently carries the most valuable bur-
den Of truth. The writer of the Book
of Job was d man who, in the dawn,
as it were, of human history, reyolyed
in a catholic, cultured and reverent
mind, the unequal dealings Of God
with men. Why did the good man
have trouble? Job was an excellent
man, perfect and upright" stripped Of
every good. and the art by which the
writer presents him as, one after
another, his possessions are taken from
him, and his friends discuss with him
the great problem that yexed him,
with all the machinery of dialogues
between the.Almighty and Satan, and
the Almighty and Job himself, sur
passes all the art Of later times. Such
imaginations and such descriptions,
|such conversations and arguments,
such marvellous Characterization as
are to be found in this great book, can
be found nowhere else in the whole
range of literature tits book that
has commanded the admiration as well
as the profound reverence Of the great
est men who have ever lived, and it is
"a novel in all it's essential features,
even though we call it poem.
The Book of Revelations is novel,
so far as it is an attempt to convey
truth through typical forms and
scenes and events. 1t is no record of
facts, but a panoramic representation
of conceptions born in, and addressed
to, the imagination. In short, it is .

NO DANGER.

EDITOR KENOsHA TELEGRAPH
DEAR SIR:-In your issue of the 21st
inst, under the caption Of Danger
Ahead, the writer who signs himself
a Temperance Man and Many Others
says: The man from the Second Ward
was chairman of the committee on
Streets and Alleys, and he has drawn
CAS- I am told by the City Clerk over
$4,000 from the City Treasurer, and
there has been collected in poll tax
about $500 more, so that there has
been expended on the streets and al
leys Of this little city in six months
all Of Three Thousand dollars. Now
in the name of all that is good and
great where has this amount gone to?
Answer.
The Common Council appropriated
to me as chairman Of said
committee, the sum Of Two Hundred
dollars, to be used for claying and
gravellng North Main Street, and
cleaning and repairing Main Street,
for which amount have presented
all necessary vouchers to balance the
account, which were examined and
found correct and accepted by the
Board The above is all the money
received OF drawn by me from the
City Treasurer. The several amounts
allowed by the City Council and paid
out by the City Treasurer for labor
and materials used under my supervi
sion for the past gear is as follows:
For streets and alleys, street crossings,
walks, &C., $1,396. Poll tax collected
to date $4,000. Total, $1,8590O. De-
duct $4,000 for collection of poll tax,
leaving $1,659.0O. All bills for the
above amounts were duly presented to
the Common Council of this city for
allowance, and by them referred to the
Committee on Claims, of which John
T.. Yule from the Third Ward was
chairman, by whom they were ex-
amined and found to be correct, and he
recommended that they be allowed
and paid.
The author Of Danger Ahead must
think that the Hon. Chairman of Com
mittee on Claims as we'll as the Board
Eof Aldermen of this city are either
fools or knaves. But let us compare
the above expenditures for the aohoJe
city with similar expenditures made
under the supervision of ex-Alderman
Y ule for c11e-haf of the city, namely:
The First and Third Wards for the
year 1876. find by examination that
the amount paid out was 81, 1851,
and every intelligent man knows that
the balance of the city is far more ex-
pensive on account of the many Gull
verts and bridges in the I'd and 4th
/ wards. M 41a
I have at all times endeayored to
perform my duties both official as well
as those Of a laW-abiding citizen to the
best Of my ability, and / think that |
have succeeded to perform the duties
of alderman from the I'd ward to the
entire satisfaction Of every candid and
honest man.
Farther than the above,I consider it
beneath me to take any further notice
OF the unnecessary violence Of his Ian
guage, OF the insolence Of his CRITICS
ing my actions, both official and as a
citizen. 8 4es

ferring to my friend Of the 18th ward.
unnecessarily uses language unbecom-
ing a gentleman. He says that it
takes seven tailors to make a man.
Taking the person referred to as q
standard of manhood, / think it would
take more than seven of such thi9aqs

FRUIT KILLED.

1t is reported that the cold snap Of
Saturday night and Sunday killed the
fruit in Ohio, Ind, Michigan and ILL
nois. In Southern Illinois the fruit
was not killed, and a later report says
it was not killed in the valleys of Ohio.
We think the fruit here was not far
enough advanced to be killed.
