Chicago Herald: Judge Coles
reelection in Wisconsin is not to
be taken as any evidence Of the
political tone and feeling of the
State. No political issue was at
stake, and Judge Cole was satisfac-
tory to the great body ofthe people,
democrats as well as republicans.
His opponent, Judge Cothren, the
democratic candidate, is an upright
and able gentleman; but there was
nothing to be gained in any way
by the change. The vote was light,
and Judge Cole was reelected by q
fair majority. Wisconsin is in
point of fact, a democratic State:
and, with anything like ablc man
agcment, the party will succeed
handsomely il the next State cam

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

Andy McCutchin, was dead or
dying, from the effects of fall from
the summit to the foot Of his own
stairway. AS was his custom he
had assembled the stairs, and then
turned so as TO use the upper step
for a boot jack, and in doing 50 he
lost his balance and fell to the
bottom, fracturing his skull so badly
that it is yet doubtful whether he
can recover.
Directly following this sad acct
dent, the report reached us that
David Davis, of the Woods Settle
ment, in Ridgcway, had been
seriously injured by n fractious
horse.
And again from Welsh Hollow,
south of the Mounds, we learn that
David Reese, formerly of this village
has split his foot SO badly with an
AK that couple ofmonths vacation
from labor will be necessary.
And lastly from Wyoming, comes
the most startling report Of all;
to the effect that Thomas /. james,
one Of the proprictors Of the new
Wyoming Touring mills, has met
with n very singular and probably
fatal accident He had just been
completing a new dwelling, and
while putting III u window frame in
the second story, standing ON the
gill and lnnninr out of the window
with his back outwards SO as to be
in n position to nail the same, the
easing gave way and together, Mr..
james and the casing fell to the
ground, Il distance Of ~ feet, the
casing fell llndel him breaking some |
Of his ribs and badly injuring him
internally, and from the medical
examination it appeared that u
piece of one of the ribs had been |
driven into the lungs lie is ina very |
critical condition, but hopes are
entertained that he will yet recover.
The afflicted family, have the deep
est sympathy of our community.
The news has also just reached
us of the paralysis Of Samuel Reese,
of Dodgcvillc. But OF the parteu-
lars, we are in Ignorance.
emo of our townsman, who is
also one of Iowa County's oldest
and most respected citizens, Rev.
David Jones, of the Congregational
Church, is badly afflicted with the
gravel, and is probably very near
deaths door lleis agrcat sufferer,
and has been the entire winter.
Many of the old pioneers of the
county, will remember him in
ycalsl past, as an exemplary chris
lian, and 4 worthy knight, as will
lament with us who have more
recently known him, over his seem
ingly ineurable malady.
Most of the winter grain looks
promising, but some pieces "fwhcat
have been damaged. The general
spring work is now upon u, and
in few weeks this north-land,
which was So recently clad in its
snowy mantle of purity, will bloom
with an enhancing vordure, while
the broad acres of waving grain
will gladden. the heart of the hus-
bandman, and send Il new impetus
through every business ayoeation.

The Man With the Shabby Umbrella

STRANGE how ashamed a man will
be of a shabby umbrella-one of those
slouchy, corpulent affairs, with the
bleached-out covering divorced from a
third of the rib-tips, and a shoe-string
clasped around its waist in lieu of the
long-vanished elastic! How he will
hide it as far as possible under his arm,
run it up his coat sleeve, tuck it away
beneath the folds of his coat, keep it
between himself and the wall, and when
he gets in the Car how careful he is to
dispose it in the darkest possible cor
ner! And if perchance anybody spies
it out, how quick is he to head off criti-
cism by explaining that it is the one he
keeps in the office-so convenient to
have one there, you know; one that you
know nobody will steal-ha! ha! Or
maybe he will go step farther-the
lying rascal-and say he borrowed it,
and If he didn't return it old Grimshaw
would never forgive him-ha! ha! But
when the clouds lower and the rain
drops begin to patter, who SO at ease,
so envied, SO proud and happy, as the
man with shabby umbrella, as he
stalks along between rows of unpro-
tected men and women, with his de-
spised umbrella dripping its liquid har
vest indiscriminately on the just and
unjustP Verify, there is nothing in this
life wholly good or wholly bad.-Bos-

An Honest Sale.

A DAY or two ago motherly-looking
woman of forty-five entered a Wood
ward avenue clothing store, having a
mans linen duster on her arm, and
when approached by salesman she
said: r -
"Some one in here sold this duster
to my son yesterday" .s
"Yes, ma am, sold it myself" re-
piled the clerk, as he looked at the gar
ment. @ i- -
"Did you tell my SOD that this duster
could be worn either to a picnic, funer-
al, bridal party or quarterly meeting?"

A Matrimonial Prize,

CHICAGO contains one woman that is
a prize. Her name is Mrs. Christene
Clemson, and she lives with her hus-
band in a modest tenement. What is
specially remarkable about the lady is
the fact that she has made nearly all
the furniture in the house with her
own hands! A reporter of the Times
recently visited her, and thus describes
what he saw: Mrs. Clemson has COM
pletely furnished the house, and it is
most magniicently done, too. The hus-
band first escorted the scribe to the little
parlor, where nearly everything in the
shape of furniture is from the hands of
his helpmate. Standing opposite the
door is very handsome organ, the
case of which is finely finished in a va
riety of hard woods. Upon the case is
q very life-like bird in the act of seizing
q cherry in its bill. On the front panel
is an East Indiaman, full-rigged ship,
under full sail. The water, which is
most excellently represented, is of a
piece of dark wood whose grain is wavy
and which is neatly joined to produce
the desired effect. A secretaire occu-
pies the other side of the room, and is
constructed of three thousand pieces of
wood. The design is unique, and the
manner in which a number of secret
drawers are slowed away is something
marvellous. The center table is also
of her construction, and is very hand
some. The cornices, picture frames,
stools, and chairs are all from the deft
fingers of Mrs. Clemson. A magnifi-
Gently carved bedstead graces their
sleeping apartment, and other articles
of minor Importance are scattered
about the rooms. Mrs. Clemson has
nearly all her wooden
tools, and q greater part of her
steel ones. She is thirty-six years of
age, tall and straight, fair. pleasant
and determined. She was taught her
trade by her father in the old country,
and puts it to the good use of furnish
ing her own house in a style that would
be envied by the majority of people in
much better circumstances in life.

How They Settle q Lawsuit in Ire
land. --.

A COUPLE in Ireland were recently
sentenced to matrimony in rather a
curious way. A young man and a
young woman were contesting posses
sion of a piece of property, the one
claiming under an old lease, the other
under an old will. cit just strikes
me-" said the Judge, /" that there is a
pleasant and easy way to terminate this
old lawsuit. The plaintiff appears to
be respectable young man, and this a
very nice young woman. They can
both get married and live happily on
the farm. If they go on with law pro-
ceedings it will be all frittered away be-
tween the lawyers, who, am sure, are
not ungallant enough to wish the mar
riage not to come off," The lady
blushed and the young man stammered
they Z" liked each other little bit;'' so
q verdict was entered for the plaintiff
on condition of his promise to marry
the defendant within two months, a
stay of execution being put to the YER
dict till the marriage ceremony should
be completed

Life and Death in Florida:

THE following is an extract from
letter written from Tampa, Fla, to
gentleman of Augusta, Ca: =
"Last Friday morning, having eaten
breakfast, Mr.. Aaron Strickland, q
well-to-do young farmer, who lives
about five miles from Tampa, started
out to do some work in the woods. His
little child, boy of eighteen months
old, started after him, but was driven
back, and began to play about the door.
No more attention was paid to 1t Tor
the space OF half an hour, when it was
missed by its mother, who searched and
called in vain. With a beating heart,
and fearing she knew not what, she
started out to inform her husband OF
the fact, which she did.
He at once reused the whole neigh
borhood and secured the woods in
every direction for his lost darling.
The news of the child's disappearance
flew like wild-fire, and people focked
from Tampa and for miles from the
surrounding country to join In the
search. A false clue, found on the
morning of the second day. caused the
search to take wrong direction. Sew
eral small footprints were found near
field mile from Mr.. Strickland place,
but proved to be those of little 2egro
child, who had accompanied its mother
in the search. Many were of the opinion
that the child had fallen into the pond
near by. but it was discovered as be-
fore stated, that the tracks were not
those of the lost baby. The search then
took northerly direction, and on the
third day of the search, Sunday, traces
of blood, a mass of tangled hair and the
child's apron were found about twenty
steps from the horse-pond, a body of
water about two miles from Stricklands
farm. A dark object was seen floating
in the water, near where the apron was
found, and with which two alligators
were found playing. The suspicion OF
two of the party, Messrs. Lewis Strick.
land and Thomas, were aroused, ana
they swan out to it, but what was their
horror to find it to be a part of the body
of the lost child. On arriving at the
bank an examination showed that the
head, arms, shoulders and legs were
gone. One leg appeared to have been
torn from the socket, while the other
was bitten off at the thigh. The par
ents were perfectly frantic with grief
and have the deepest sympathy OF the
whole community"
