TnE EARTH TREATMENT For ULcERs.
The dry earth treatment for ulcer is
found quite successful. Large sloughy
ulcers, after being washed are covered
with thick layer Of earth, over which
wet paper Is placed as a support, the
whole being neatly bandaged In a few
days the ulcer begins TO clear, and when
the surface looks healthy and granula-
ting, 4 dressing made as follows Is used (:
A piece Of muslin the size Of the ulcer Is
immersed In carbolic oil, in proportion
Of one part acid to ten parts cocoanut oil,
with this the sore Is covered, and over IL
dry earth Is placed, then moistened earth
and bandage. In short time the heal
ing process. maniiests Itself satisfactorily,
while all odor Is entirely removed.

A WORD ABOUT TEXAs.-To persons seek
ing employment as clerks and easy stua-
tions generally, Texas offers but little en-
couragement. Such places are scarce and
hard to obtain; but to parties with capital,
large or small, there is no more inviting field
within the limits Of this government The
eyes Of the whole world seem to be upon
her; her population is aagmenting to such an
extent that three more decades will give her
thirty-fve representatives in the United
States Congress Her railroad enterprises
are the most gigantic Of the age. Her vast
public domain viii furnish homes for the
homeless everywhere. Her magnificent
school fund will educate her sons and daught-
ers free, and she will become. like Athens OF
Old the seat of learning, literature science
and art.
de immense water-powers and mountains
of iron, lead, silver and copper will soon
make her manufacturing state ssecond to
none. For the production of live stock, cat
tie, horses, sheep and hogs she stands With
out q peer on the continent to-day. Wherev-
er her virgin soil has been vitalized by the
pillow, the yield of all the great staples has
been wonder to agricultnrsts throughout
the United States.
The people of the North and East, who can
only look back upon a life of toll and count
no gains, whose children are ap-
preaching manhood without estate, or who,
from the rigors Of Northern climate, or
other causes, have emigration in view, we
ask them to place a map before them, aud if
upon the surface of the whole broad earth
they can lay their finger upon another spot
with so much present and future promise,
then we say go there, and God speed you.

TREMBLING TAX TITLES.
Supreme Court Decisions aa
to Validity Of Assess
ments,
Better inconvenience to Municipal
Corporations Than "a Universal
Rule Of Fraud and Perjury"

AAC VI - csUNA tsIN - CL VI
The recent decisions and opinions
of the Supreme court of isconsin
relating to the prevailing loose meth
DDS in the assessment Of taxes, since
their publication last week by the
Commercial Times, have command
ed wide spread attention and have
carried CONSERVATION into many
quarters. Several Of the leading
papers Of the state quoted these
documents from our columns,
although few have as yet shown by
any editorial comment that they ap-
preciate the tull import of a position
on the part of the highest judicial
tribunal which establishes a ques-
tion as to the validity of nearly
every assessment in the state.
We are informed that these de-
cisions are appreciated by those
who have been in the habit of deal
ing in tax7titles, that the question
as to the validity Of assessments has
cast a cloud upon all tax-titles, and
that, in Milwaukee, at least, tha;
useful branch Of industry has been
for the time being destroyed.
1t will be remembered that in
the case of Schetter versus the City
of Fort Howard, Justice Cole ex-
planned that the challenge of the
validity of taxes was sustained
solely on the testimony of the as
SCISSOR that he assessed the property
at about one-third its value, whereas
the statute requires that all real
estate shall be assessed at it's full
value.
Chief Justice Ryan, in concur
ring with this opinion in this case,
with his startling energy ofexpress-
ion, adds somewhat to the force of
this and similar recent decisions
on this point.
OPINION OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
RYAN, c. j.. concurring-Some
surprise and apprehension was ex-
pressed at the bar, upon the argu-
ment, at an intimation from the
bench, of the ground of judgment in
this case, follov ing Hersey V. Super
visors, 81 Wis. rs, aud Marsh V.
Supervisors, decided at this term.
1t was intlmated, as it has been
on other occasions, that the statu-
tory rule Of assessment is frequently
or generally disregarded by assess
ors, and that the consequence OF
holding assessors to a compliance
of their duties, under the statute
and the constitution, would be dis
astrous.
is impossible for me to Judge
