JOHN WISE, the ancient baloonist, and
Geo Burr, journalist, left st. Louis a week
ago last Sunday and they have not yet been
heard from, and it is generally surmised that
they have gone to hunt up Donaldson and
Greenwood. John Wise, who was over forty
five years ago, last maker in Lancaster, Pa =,
has been in the balloon business for the past
forty years. 1t is with him a mania, and he
has been once, if not twice, adjudged in
sane and put under restraint He projected
trip across the Atlantic some years ago, and
with Donaldson, induced some men to put up
money for the expenses. Of course the thing
came to nothing. He has thought of nothing
and engaged in nothing for all these forty
years but Aerostatics, but his dreams and
experiments are of no more use to-day than
were Montgolfers, who never got beyond
hot air balloon. We should be sorry to hear
that the old man had come to a sudden and
violent end, for he was modest good hearted
gentleman, and devoted his whole life to his
favorite hobby. John Wise has probably
sailed the air farther than any other man, and
the wonder is that he has escaped death so
long.

OUR BOYS.

There is no question of more interest to
our country to-day than that of the proper
training of our boys-our future legislators,
Judges, presidents and business men. No one
conyersaat with the mode in which our boys
are trained can help but feel that We are
sowing the wind and shall reap the whirl-
wind There seems not only to be no re-
straint, but no effort made to educate our
rising generation to lives of usefulness. Every
mans son, nowadays, is mt for something
better than a life of toll and the acquisition
of some useful and honorable trade, aud he is
taught to look upon all such occupations as
are distinguished by WOODEN shirt and soiled
hands, as below his dignity, and. instead of
honest mechanical labor, he is stationed behind
a desk or counter, learns to play billiards,
smokes fine cigars, and drinks his toddy, and
devotes the hours in which manly toll invites
to refreshing sleep, to midnight orgies and
dissipation. His later years are spent, in a
hoodlumism-a bloated gin-slinger, billiard
marker or a check guerilla; the oman" of
some low prostitute, the shiverlng wretch
who begs his whisky and lives on free lunches,
or the convict in striped suit who grades our
streets, or labors in the workshops of penit-
tentiaries. The whole evil has it's source i'll
our false ideas regarding the dignity of labor.
We resent with swelling pride, the idea of
nd a
victon that our son is as good as any other
mans son, and has ust as good right to
Senatorial or Presidential honors as the son
of any millionaire in the land, and so ne has;
but we forget that while Andrew johnson
mounted from a tallor's board to the White
House, and Roger Sherman made shoes,
and Abraham Lincoln split rails, we have
but few instances of men having OBJ
tanned such high honors from behind a
pile OF dry goods, or bar-counter,
or that the idle hoodlum who scorns manly
employment ever was advanced to position
of trust. Our greatest want of the present
day is not so much compulsory education, as
the compulsory pursuit of some legitimate
calling, WHICH Will TelleN6 lll6 Ctdtc llOu tuc
presence OF an element which costs more an
nually than does the administration of all our
public offices, and is destructive of more
human life, and the cause of more human
suffering than any other evil with which
guilty world is cursed We have plenty of
wholesome criminal laws, but we need very
badly, some wholesome restraints A proven
tive of vagrancy and crime is offered only in
the education of youth in useful trades, and
in getting rid of the idea that labor is degrad-
ing to the free American citizen. We have
the brightest talent in the world in the chill
dren of the United States, but we have also
the worst system of cultivating that talent,
and we render ourselves responsible for the
crimes which blacken our calendar, and the
wasted lives Of those, who under better sys

THE New York Herald gives the followin

TIE New York Herald gives the following
solution of the problem
The absence of Chinese women in the East
has compelled the males to lntermarry with
the whites There are in New York at the
present time nearly three hundred Cinnamon
who have white wives. They mainly Span
ish and Irish women, the Mongolians prefer
ring the latter on account of their skill in do
mestic labor. Few of them allow their wives
to work. This is due to spirit of gallantry,
which is visible even in the West. This in
termarriags of races commenced about six
years ago, consequently young Chino Celtic
generation is springing up, the eldest of whom
is about five years Of age. As these children
are becoming very numerous, they may be-
come an important factor in strengthening the
kindly relations between our citizens and Chi
nese Immigrants. Not only have the Chinese
married Spanish and Irish women, but at No
As Mott street there lives Chnanan married

exhibition, but they're too costly for his every

counter until shop worn. This is crying
evil. Our best men are not marrying, be-
cause so many of our girls are saying, "You
must take me for better or for worse, to feed
me, to clothe me, to house me, to warm ME,
to keep me clad in the fashion, to give ne a
house proportionate to my style, to keep me

A PROVIDENCE special to the Horld say
Governor Spragus has decided not to recog-
nize Mrs. Sprague's trustee. He will hold
Canonchet, as far as the law allows, for his
personal benefit, but will surrender to Mrs
Spragne without delay and without reserve
whatever she proves to be her own. The re-
mainder he will hold for the benefit of the
Sprague Manufacturing Company. Thus he
antsgonizes T. Chafse, trustee of the Sprague
estate. He denounces Mrs. Spragues trustees
and her lawyers as conspirators and threatens
to bring action against them This attitude
will prove annoying to Mrs Sprague, who
will have to fight both her husband and Chat
fee, who dislikes her greatly. The affair can
not be settled without further litigation, and
all the interested parties are in state of in
dignation.

The struggle for the United States
Senatorship which ended at Madison
last week in the election of Matthew
II. Carpenter, was the most vigorous
and stubborn contest of this nature
ever witnessed in WISCONSIN, distin.
guished from those which have pre-.
coded it by the absence of that bitter
ness of feeling between rival candi-
dates and their respective followers
which such contentious usually en-
gender. The friends of the most con-
spicuous candidates-Keyes Howe and
Carpenter-stood by their chosen
chiefs with conspicuous fidelity and
apparently hopeful to the last, those
of the latter evidently determined.
however. to secure that gentleman 5
election at the risk of sacrificing the
interests of their party. After nine
ty-six formal ballots had been taken
in the Republican nominating caucus,
on a large majority of which Mr..
Keyes received the greatest number of
votes, in order to effect break in the
deadlock and thus prevent the Re-
publican party from going into joint
convention without a candidate, Sem
ator Burrows. of Madison, at Mr..
Reyes request, withdrew that gen.
tleman's name ana moved the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Carpenter by acclama-

his friends Speaker Kelly withdrew
that gentleman's name and seconded
the nomination made by Senator Bur
rows, whereupon Mr.. Carpenter was
selected as and declared the unani
nous nominee of the Republican eau
Gus for United States Senator. The
Republican members having fixed up
on their candidate between nine and
ten o'clock in the forenoon on We'd
nesday, his election soon followed, the
Legislature going into joint conven-
ton at noon of the same day for his
election. Upon his election Mr.. Car
penter appeared before the JOINT con-
vention and thanked the members
thereof for the high honor conferred

TRAMP BILL.

A second bill for the suppression of
tramps, No. SIS A., has been introduced
by Mr.. Ostrander, which is great
improvement upon the Washburn bill,
the Introduction of which we noticed
in our last issue, and we understand
that the probabilities are favorable
for the second bill introduced becom-
ing law. The 0strander bill was
carefully drawn by gentleman who
knew what he was about and who ev-
identity realized the situation.
Section provides, upon conviction,
for the Imprisonment of tramps and
vagabonds at hard labor in the State
Prison for a term not exceed three
years nor less than one year. 1t is
well know that one of the principal
characteristics of the tramp is his
aversion to labor for maintenance,
in consequence of which one, two,
three or four months in Jail where he
can comfortably pass his time in idle
ness, receiving his board at the ex-
pense of others, has no terrors for him
and law that would send him to pris-
on where he would be compelled to
work and earn his living would tend
to remove the inclination for tramp.
ing.
Section provides for the arrest OF
tramps and their examination before
proper officer.
Section provides that in case the
accused does not give satisfactory
account of himself he shall be held tC
bail for his appearance at the next
term of the County Court to answer d
criminal prosecution.
Section 4 confers jurisdiction upon
County Courts to hear, try and deter
mine such cases.
Section defines the duties of Dis
trict Attorney in the premises.
Section gives the form of. infor
nation.
The balance of the bill prescribes
the manner of trial, fees, etc., ant
while the bill is designed especially
for the protection of society and cor
porations against the insolence anC
criminal acts of that class of individu
ais commonly known and designated
as tramps, it gives the oppressed
tramp fair trial, and affords simple
and easily obtained passport for the
worthy individual travelling about il
search of work by which he may al
once be distinguished from the genu
inc tramp. We trust that this bill
will become law and that it will be
rigidly enforced; if so the tramp ques
tin will happily be settled so far a:
Wisconsin is concerned.

HoN. VIM WINDOW, United States Sen

scheme the purpose of which is to eff
feet a partial migration of colored per-
sons from those States and Congress
sional Districts where they are not al
lowed to freely and peacefully exer-
else and enjoy their constitutional
rights as American citizens into such
States as may desire to receive them
and will protect them in said rights,
or into such Territory or Territories
of the United States as may be provid-
ed for their use. Our Republican form
of government contemplates the pro-
lection of all people, in whatever
State or Territory they may be, in
their constitutional rights and it is a
disgrace to the government of the
United States that this protection is
not given.
