How She Did IT.

Profane history relates that Juno.
the wife of Jove, desiring to aid the
Grecians, then engaged in battle with
the Trojans, whom her husband was
commanding, prepared her toilet with
the greatest care using Brazilian Bril-
liant Beautifying Favorites.) and made
herself so pleasing and attractive, that
when Jove beheld her he was SO fasci-
mated
''She lulled the lord of thunder in her arms.
And held him by the magic of her charms"
and the poor Grecians, being deprived
of their leader, were disastrously rout-
ed. While we do not approve of Jul
nos action, and really think both
should have been court-martialed, yet
it shows the wonderful power of the
Brazilian Brilliant Company's toilet
articles, and whose advertisement the
delighted reader will not fail to peruse
in another column.

We must again call upon our debtors
for payment. We had hoped that those
indebted to us would become so prompt
we never again should have to remind
them through the TELEGRAPH to make
payment. But in place Of becoming
more prompt they are becoming more
slack. Of the hundreds in Kenosha
County who are indebted to us hun
dreds of dollars not a man made pay
ment last week. Never before was
there any thing like such a falling off
in payment, and it can be accounted
for now only by increasing slackness.
The great superabundance of rain and
the almost impossible roads can not
account for it, for there have been such
before without anything like the fall.
ing off in payment. Neither can the
scarcity OF money nor OF the means to
obtain money account for it, for there
is more money and more means to OBJ
tain money in the country now than
there have been many times before
when payments were comparatively
good. 1T can be acco united for only by
increasing slackness closely allied to
growing dishonesty. This slackness may
however depend greatly upon our
SlackneSs in making collections. We
have called upon our debtors through
the TELEGRAPH for payment, and we
have sent out agents at great expense
to collect, sometimes costing at fair
compensation and expenses over forty
seven and a half per cent. of the money
collected. From our experience we
are learning that the way to collect is
to collect, and that the economical
way is to collect at the expense of
those who become so slack as to neg
lect paying. Hoping however to avoid
this method Of collecting, except in ex-
IRENE cases, we again call upon all in
debted to us to make payment, re-
minding them that whether it rains or
shines, whether roads are impossible
or good, whether money is scarce or
plenty,our business requires the paying
out of money every week and that we
are dependent upon payments to us to
enable us to make our payments.
Trusting that what we now say will
receive due and speedy heed we await
results.

A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.

The United States Economist of the
18th instant has the following in re-
gard to the business outlook:
GLOOMY views, dismal forebodings
and the frequent prophecies OF coming
disasters are not the least incentives to
stimulate the energy which is now re-
quired to be successful in the depart
ment of trade. When one business
man croaks to another of the dlscour-
aging outlook of commercial affairs,
the refrain is taken up and sounded
along the channels of trade until the
nervous and timid become frightened,
and are often, through fear alone, led
to make failures and assignments for
the benefit of their creditors. There
are just grounds for merchants, bank
ers and commercial men generally to
take more hopeful view of the pres
ent condition of business, and speak to
each other in more encouraging tone.
We are fast nearing a specie basis,
Congress will soon adjourn, the pres
ent Tariff bill will not pass, so there
will be no disturbing of values; the
currency question will receive no fur
ther legislation, the crops promise the
most abundant harvest the country the
has ever known, and the prices
of all kinds of merchandise. commodl-
tiles and real estate have been adjust
ed to near the gold standard OF values.

Theodore Butler, a saddle-colored
specimen Of the fifteenth amendment,
not having the fear Of the law before
his eyes, partook too freely of fiery UNI
tanned benzine last Thursday morning,
and electrified the people on Main St.
by a unique exhibition of fancy driv-
ing and daring Craftsmanship, which
was duly appreciated by all who saw
him. After driving through Main St.,
Theodore took a short turn among the
residence streets frightening numerous
small children and timid women, and
returned to the scene of his brilliant
exploits on Main St., all the time howl
ing like a Camanche, but on approach
ing the Grant House the Sheriff's posse
succeeded in capturing the festive
Theodore and he was lodged in one of
the deepest dungeons of the County
Jail. On being brought before Justice
Stebbins the next day he pleaded guilty
to charge of drunk and disorderly,
and received an assessment Of ten dol
lars aud costs as the reward of his
pleasant pastimes.

THE LAST RITES.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE F. S. LOWELL.
The funeral of the late F. S. Lowell
which occurred last Thursday morn
ing was largely attended by residents
of this and other cities, despite the
short notice that has been given and
was a marked testimonial of the high
esteem in which he was held. The
services of the Episcopal Church were
impressively rendered by Rev. L. G.
Lance assisted by the choir of ST.
Matthews Church. The funeral was
conducted under the auspices of the
Bar Association of this city, and the
remains were followed to their final
resting place by all the members of the
bar of this county together with sew
eral Of the civil magistrates and del
egation from the Racine Bar, who to
show their respect to his memory
walked along SIDE the hearse A large
number of citizens also followed the
hearse, on foot. Altogether the tribute
was of the highest kind and cannot
fail to give great satisfaction to the
relatives and intimate friends of the
deceased.
