of flooding the Desert of Sahara, thereby ma

The depth and size Of the desert below the

the average depth is not generally known, but
suffice 1t to say that If such a project should
be started and not under the complete control
of those in charge Of tho work, the earth
could, and NO doubt would, be thrown off its
present balance. and the surface Of all the
waters to certain extent would be changed
in their level, which cohid be asCeftained to
a certainty if the actual sizes and depth could

LET Us ALL HELP ONE ANOTHER.

Let us all help one another
And heart OF kindness show,
As down times flowing river
In the boat of life we row !;
For, though rough may be the weather
And the sky be overcast,
If we only pull together.
We can brave the storm at last.
Let us help one another
In misfortune's wintry day,
And be kinder still, as ever
Earths best gifts are snatched away.
When bright fortune gilds the morrow,
Hollow hearts will fawn and cling
But when comes the night of sorrow
Only true hearts comfort bring
Let us all help one another,
And do good wherefore we can
Who withholds the hand of kindness
Scarce deserves the name of man;
For the one great law of nature,
Which was meant mankind to bless,
Bids us help fellow creature
When we find him in distress.

per acre. The district is traversed by
railroads in all directions and the usual
facilities and conveniences are plenty.
DODGE CoUNTY-One of the most valu-
able and prominent counties in Wiscon-
sin, owing not only to it's fine, fertile soil,
but also to it's great iron mines at Iron
Ridge. 1t will be remembered by the
reader, that this place was spoken of as
supplying much of the ore used in the
extensive rolling mills at Milwaukee

The election for State officers, senators

held in Wisconsin yesterday. The cleo

standing the bracing air made it neces-
sary for the ticket peddlers and election
eerers to warm up to their work of saw

So far as the city was concerned, the
chief interest in the days contest was
concentrated over the battle for Assem-
blyman from this district, between
Charles Reubhausen, the democratic NOM
inee, on the one hand and Jesse Stone.
brought forward in opposition as Peo-
pies candidate, on the other.
The fight was warmly contested, but
no undue excitement prevailed at any of
the polling places. Mr.. Stone found as
warm support to his candidacy in the
district as any one could expect under the
circumstances, and the result of the eff
forts of his friends is fine compliment
to him as citizen. His election over Mr..
Reubhausen by a majority of 437, carry
ing every ward and town in the district,
is record he may feel proud of, as in
fact we know he does In the contest all
politics was ignored and with no partisan
spirit do we rejoice in the success of Mr..
Stone He had the unanimous sup
port of Republicans, but his triumph
is the outcome of the manly stand taken
by the independent democrats of this
city and the balance of the district who,
throwing aside party affiliations, worked
ardently for him, confident that in him
the district would be represented at Madi-
son by faithful, capable and efficient
member, one whose influence would be
felt in the Legislature for the interests Of
our city, and the district generally.
The vote of the city complete gives

or majority of SAL, over Smith, repub

ty was 455 on vote, 129 less
than this year. Yesterday Governor
Smiths vote was increased 70 in the city
over his vote of two years ago and Mr.
Jenkins vote 1872 larger than Mallory's
The Greenback vote on Governor yester
day is 80 against 164 in 1877. The in
crease in the democratic vote
seems to be explained in the
decrease in the greenback vote max

back democrats have deserted the green
