Mr.. G. B. Lewis, of Watertown, has
this week been visitant with W. H.
Butterfeld of this city. He is member
Of the firm Of Lewis and Parks, who are
the heaviest manufacturers in the United
States, of bee hives and appliances Of
that sort. Last year the firm sold 5000
hives, and this year they have sold a half
a million sections or frames. 1t is not
able fact that after the honey has been
extracted from the comb contained in
these frames, they are a merchantable
commodity, and can be used in any hive
thus saving the bees the labor of con-
structing cells The firm named above
shipped this year two carloads of hives
to Kentuckey, and Mr.. Lewis mentions
that Missouri seems best adapted to bee
culture and honey production, being the
medium between the two climates.-Col-

The Central Wisconsin Fair.

Preparations are going forward salts
factorily in the interest of the coming
exhibition of the CentralWisconsin Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Association, and
the officers are advised of a largely in
creased attendance of stock exhibitors over
former years The demand for circulars
and premium lists indicates additional
interest in the affairs of the society for
the present year, which it is reasonable
to assume must add greatly to the adj
vantages of the fair this month The fairs
of the Central Wisconsin Society have al
ways been essentially in the interest Of
the stock raising and agricultural classes
and in this respect the exhibition this
year is expected to eclipse all Others The
days of the fair should be remembered
namely, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday and Friday, September 22nd,
23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th. Everybody
in the city of Watertown should feel it
imperative on himself to lend bel ping
hand to the success of the Central Fair
as all are interested in its welfare. The
officers who are working faithfully to
promote its interest without compensa-
ton should have the hearty cooperation
of our merchants and manufacturers.
If they receive this they will consider
themselves sufficiently rewarded for their
painstaking and trouble. Let all try
and do something for our fair this year
and endeavor to make it a browning sue

The Jefferson County Fair.

So far as the announcement OF features
and attra ctions is concerned the officers
Of the Jefferson County Agricultural So
ciety have left nothing undone that
could add to the interest and success of
the Twenty-Fifth Annual fair of the So
ciety to be held on the fair grounds in the
city of Jefferson, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, September 10th,
18th, 18th and 10Th. There appears to
be determination to make this most
successful show What between balloon
ascensions, Gatlin Guns, Races, the school
childrens concert, athletic sports and adj
dresses by Governor Smith and Congress-
man Caswell, the time of the four days
of the exhibition would seem to be well
provided for. The railroads give re-
duced rates to and from the fair.
MADAME JanausChek, the great TRACE
dienne, has engaged Turner Hall, in this
city, for Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings, Sept. 18th and 18th, when she
will appear in Marie Stuart and Macbeth,
supported by star company selected
from the principal theatres of New York,
Boston and Philadelphia. We do not re-
member that Watertown has ever been
honored by the presence of as great an
actress as Janauschek, and she will
doubtless be greeted with fine audiences.
This city has never failed to give good
support to first class entertainments, such
as is sure to take place at Turner Hall
the 18th and 18th of September To
listen to such an actress as Janauschek
one evening is worth more than to attend
all the catch-penny shows that will visit
us in the next century. Every one
should witness the acting of this lady of
worldwide reputation.

THE POLITICAL FUTURE.

With the beginning of the New Year and re-
assembling of Congress, after its holiday recess, it
NAV be expected political matters will gradually
increase in excitement and interest, as well with
reference to State and local elections as regarding
the great pending Presidential contest OF ISSO.-
Until that struggle has ended we need not antici-
pate much quietness among partizans and politi-
clans. There is likely to be elimination and re-
elimination on both sides, giving to quiet, con-
sentative people of our country thorough surfeit
of what may be termed political literature, which,
to make the best of it, proves stale, Improbable
and uninteresting. If there be anything in al the
world tending to disgust sensible men it is the
vast amount of trash placed before them IN such
heated, partizan campaigns. 1t would seem that
the special virtue in the mistaken views OF both
editors and orators is to promulgate all manner of
falsehoods against their political opponents
Faults and unintentional errors possibly innocent
oversights and harmless misgiyings will find I'M
scrupulous augmentation with classifying wide Of
truth as are the poles. All this, too, simply to
gain an end whether by fair or foul means, in the
absurd belief that vilifcation is the best weapon
of partizan defense most effective in doing good
to the cause advocated. If men, prominent as
candidates, have virtues and traits of excellence,
challenging admiration and appreciation, they are
wholly overlooked by the enemy who supposes be
best acts his part by striving to make people be-
heve there is nothing meritorious in them. The
dark side of the picture is constantly kept in vieW
emitting altogether any approval of merit.
Nothing can be more pitiable or selfish than
such course. 1t seems indeed ike presuming
upon the ignorance of an intelligent, free thinking
people, supposing they can be led or driven to do
as desired through transparent falsehood and vile
Islander. Never was there greater mistake
Give credit where credit is due, acknowledge merit
whether in friend or foe By standing firmly upon
principle. In such case there must come honor to
the victors and a consciousness of having done
right. We earnestly hope the New Year upon
which we have just entered and all subsequent

Messrs. Editors Of the Union Permit me to
express my high qualification at the courteous
bearing of your excellent paper in not occupying
it with such an attempt to injure any Christian
minister as was done last week in the Mayyiand
Journal. Mr.. Moody is Christian gentleman of
almost worldwide fame for his ardent and very
successful efforts religiousy to benefit his fellow
men. There many millions of Protestants
who agree with Mr.. Moody that the italian Ro-
man Catholic Church do worship the Virgin Mary
or adore or pray to her, also to the Apostles
and other persons who have been dead for centu-
ries Mr.. NJ. is by Divine aid doing great and
glorious work in Baltimore, and the Baltimore
american is placing its old friends under great
obligations in publishing his sermons, which other
wise many could not enjoy because of inability to
hear them
We have no comments to make on thelanguage
used in the Journal. Its rough style, &C., speak
for itself. No doubt many of Mr.. Ruby's friends,
hreefourths ofwhom, with myself, are Professionals
much regret he permitted its publication in his
paper May kind Heaven greatly bless Mr.. Moody
in his work of faith and labor of love- and all his
enemies with repentance and faith in Christ who
only can save them from their sins and make
them Christians. Heartily wishing you the hap
piest year of your lives, am,
Yours truly, ANXIOUS.

Messrs. Editors The gush and ardor with
which Mr.. Ruby, in his farewell to the Old Year in
the last issue of the Journal refers to the resump
ton of specie payments by the United States
Treasury and the National banks On the LIST inst,
might lead a novice in financial and political mat
tiers to think the Millennium had dawned upon us.
He states that the government has announced
that it is ready to meet its obligations" at is
the long night of commercial despair, dispeled by
the dawn of prosperity" Then Mr.. Ruby is GER
tainly profound believer in special prOvidences.
Here is the proof: "NO one man or set of men"
he says, "can lay claim that trey are entitled to
the credit, which may flow from what is legally to
take place the first day Of January 1879, i. e..
the resumption of specie paymeuts-"the exchange

are his. - '' =
If mo one man or set of men can lay claim" "to
the credit" it is certain that the patriotic Democ
racy is out in the cold far as 'the credit of re-
sumption is concerned But there is u stronger
reason than this memorable logic of Mr.. Ruby's
why the Democratic Reformers (nOted recently for
"cpker"i ing out results are not entitled to ''the
credit 1t is not my intention to deal harshy
with Mr.. Ruby or to cast undue reflection upon
the Democratic party, but the memory Of some
Republicans is long enough not to have forgotten
that the last Democratic convention that ever as
sembled in Baltimore county adopted u PLATFORM
not "Teal, personal and mixed" as a lawyer would
say, but mixed, personal and financial character
istics. That platform in its personal aspect
adopted Mr.. Talbot As Mr.. Talbot was adopted
to represent the Democratic "Reformers" of Balti-
more county, they desired him to be instructed
concerning their views upon the question of re-
sumption Of specie payments on January LIST, 1879
Being minded, this Democratic convention in
formed their candidate by resolution that it was
their profound conviction, will and pleasure that
the law fixing January LIST, lS79 as the time when
"the long night of commercial despair should be
"dispelled by the dawn of prosperity sdouid be
repealed. Why Mr.. Talbot did not obey vigor-
ously and successfully this solemnly delivered in
junctiOn-and repeal the law-remains for him or
them to explain. Perhaps when they explain it
will be made patent to "cipher' dispatcher "that
they are-Or he is-entitled to the credit"
One "set Of men" in Congress and out of it spoke
voted resolved and worked against the law passed
by Republican Congress, signed by Republi-
can President, upheld by the Republican press
aided by Republican conventions and speakers
and made triumphant on January LIST, 1879, by
making government paper as good as gold. And
it has succeeded in spite of their endcavors to de-
feat it. "Wh0t American citizen is there ,chO
should not feel proud of such circuastance ?"--
Does Mr.. Ruby know anything about what ''set
of men, that is? RESUMPTION

HS~There are a good many editors writing
about Bayard Taylor's origin and attainments
who seem to know very little of either. They
would make him the offspring of quite plebeian
family, who grew up without any of the facilities
for education, and was quite unlearned when a
young man. The truth is, he comes from one of
the most respectable families of Chester county,
Pa, and his parents have always been, if not in
afluenee, in at least easy and comfortable circum-
stances. As to his early education, it is true he

years of age his attachments in useful knowledge

HAVING been for the past three years engaged

will be Of greater benefit to both cur customers and
ourselves Therefore,
On aid qffsr DeeemJer let. 1878,
we shall mark our goods to the very lowest prices
and GUARANTEE to dispose Of no goods ex-
cepting for CASH,
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
!. A part of all goods sold under the credit
system will be lost to the seller.
2. All goods sold under that system must be
sold ut an extra profit, to coger those losses
g. Those who pay their bills, pay for those who
fail to pay otherwise the merchant must become

Now, if we gyeno credit, We cal sell 20 ds II The

The extra profit necessary to be added under the
credit system, viii be seen from the following
statement:
Suppose that We sell goods to the amount i
$4,000 each year only on credit Of three months
but every twentieth customer actually small

$500, or FIVE per cent. Of the whole amount.
Now, you will readily perceive that those who
