Mr.. J. RANDI, the gentleman men
toned in the following extract from the
Milwaukee Nc~8, intends to give an en-
tertainment at an early day in this city:
This celebrated company, whose fame has
been established in our country long before their
arrival in this city, first appeared among US last
evening. We stould in vain endeavor to de-
scribe the tRf0rc they 50 uneNpectedly-to us
created. the enthusiasm with which they were
received, the establishment they caused and the
intense satisfaction they gave. The tumultuous
cncores were proof that that the audience was
completely taken by surprise-carried away
with the extraordinary features Of the entcr-
tainment. There is a peculiar charm to their
melodies which cannot be described. Nj. J.
Rdindl, the lyric tenor, in one of his solos ex-
cited much emotion among the audience. Hc is

Russ WHEELER was acquitted last
Thursday. There can be no doubt that
the character of the man killed had more
to 90 with the acquittal OF Wheeler than
any circumstances justifying the murder.
The Henderer family seems to be a bad
one, but at the same time it is burle-
quese upon justice to acquit Wheeler of
all blame in the matter. Human life should
not be lightly taken, and laws should be
more stringent on those who shoot on
little or no provocation.

MEssRs. OBRLAND & THOMPSON by
their efforts to secure their creditors a.
gainst loss, have proved themselves
thoroughly honest gentlemen. Their
failure is owing to their having worked
too much on the credit system, thus hay
ing large amount on their books which
they found it impossible to collect. They
have made an assignment OF every bit of
property which they owned, and our
citizens must respect their honesty while
regretting their misfortune.

Last Sunday evening. it was evident
to residents Of this city that fire was
raging in Two Rivers. Considerable
concern was expressed as the wind was
very strong, but as the flames grew less,
it was supposed it was building outside
the city. The fire was in the city how
ever, but fortunately the building was
isolated. The house belonged to John
Boetke. The insurance fully covers the
loss.

the very best canal that has been
proposed. l would, however, moi
expect to use a higher rate oi
speed on a ship railway than eight
miles per hour.
The practicability Of lifting the
heaviest ships out of water with
perfect safety on cradles adjusted
to receive them is illustrated in
every dock-yard in the country.
aud one of the methods have re-
ferred to as being huge hydraulic
elevator has been put to q practical
test. A dry-dock was constructed
upon this principal in England a
few years ago, and sent to the
East Indies, BY which ships placed
over a platform sunk to receive
thcm are lifted vertically out Of
the water by hydraulic pumps.
OF course. the works and deyi-
ces required for the successful
operation Of a ship railway should
be OF the most substantial charsc-
ter; and the clevating machinery
should be Of such strength and
power as to mako the transfer Of
the ship from the railway to the
sea, aud from the sea to tho rail.
way, a matter Of perfect safety
and dispatch.
Tho actual cost Of operating
such railway would be, l think.
considerably less in proportion to
the tonnage moved over it than
that Of the most successful
railway line III this country, for
the reason that the tonnage car
riage would DO handled by machin.
cry exclusively, and the ratio Of
paying cargo TO non-paying weight
would be much greater.4 Tho.
cost OF maintainance in proportion
to the tonnage carried should be
much less Also This rcsalt may
be safely anticipated, because the
railway would bc very substantial
and durable, and very short CON-
pared with the magnitude of ton.
mage carried.
The machinery would bc very
simple In character, and the ratio
Of cot Of maintainancc to gross
receipts would therefore be pro-
porionatcly reduced. But even
1t we assume that The operating ex-
pcnscs and maintenance be equal |

whereas II should not cost more
Than u quarter as much. The
gross receipts must be the samo IN
either case, and the railway can be
completed in three or iour years,
while 1t il safe to assume that thu

long. The interest on the 4

would therefore be enorn
greater than that on the raj
