A man passed the prime Of life,
poorly dressed and hayinga mournful
culver in his. voice, takes two old
oyster cans, partly fills them With
sand, does them up ia neat shape,
and, selecting a house, he calls the
lady to the door and says: Madam,
I'm old and poor, but I'm not Il thief.
| found these oyster cans on the
street, and won't you be good enough
to keep EN- till the owner calls p
Why, the owner may never call, re-
plies the lady. That's so; but I'm
not able to buy milk and crackers
even if | had oysters you'd better
keep EN- awhile, anyhow. If no one
comes, the cans are yours Some
times the old man makes a quarter.
and sometimes only a bite to eat.
The owner does not arrive, and the
family prepares for fried oysters for
supper. When the paper is torn off
some folks laugh-and some don't.
Some say that they'll hunt over every
rod Of ground in the United States
but that they'll find the old man and
make him eat the last grain of sand
and the cans to boot.

To the Republicans of Wisconsin.

The undersigned, by direction OF his asso-
clates on the state central committee begs TO
remind the Republicans OF Wisconsin OF the
Importance OF n full vote at our election on the
fourth OF November. There is danger, il in
divdual Republicans leave to Others the per-
formance OF political duties that rest alike upon
all. IL is not sufficient 10 believe in Repubh-
can doctrines. II is a duty you owe the party
whose principles you approve, that your cCn-
yictions are crystalized into vote; aud fur
Their, that you see that the full Republican
vote OF your election precinct is polod. In
this manner Will your opinions be eifectually
felt, and thus will you help to shape the des-
J tiny OF the nation. Weappeal to YOU who read
these lines to devote one day TO the service OF
the party that preserved The Union. As you go
! to the election precinct, stop on the way and
urge your neighbors 10 go also, and do not re-
| turn home until you know every Republican
vote in your township has been cast, and that
an honest count will be forthcoming Az was
the response to the call OF Abraham Lincoln
for " three hundred thousand MORE so lot
your response be TO this call for n rousing vote
"A vote not merely to defeat the Democratic
party in Wisconsin for they were beaten from
the beginning by their own yacillating course,
stupidity and folly) but to crush and bury for
ever out OF sight dynasty that has filed our
land with mourning and burdeaed our country
with debt; a party that if left foothold upon
which to stand, will plot the ruin OF our credit,
tarnish our national honor, turn our money
into irredeemahle issues OF fiat shiuplastera,
and stop again the wheels OF busy prosperity,
just beginning to move. You cannot afford To
take the rish that may be the result Of indiffer-
ence. Therefore the central committee appeal
to you to give vote that by It's overwhelming
} emphasis shall become the talisman and exam
pie OF all other states in 1880
Let the Republicans OF Wisconsin turn out
en- mass, and make the victory u Waterloo.

A French Cooperative Bakery.

In 1867 France had a very bad harvest,
and when bakers bread rose at Angou
leme TO fifty confines the kilogramme,
several leading townsme~ organized, on
a capital of ~, 400, an economic bakery,
to furnish bread Of the best quality and
lowest irice to all cooperating. About
400 families, who paid up 1925 each,
Immediately joined. The first year the
promoters attempted nothing beyond re-
ducing the price of br ad, which they
sold TO subscribers 20 per cent. lower
than the bakera. When tn card times
were over it became "a question whether
the whole scheme should not be droppod,
but at the instance of one very energetic
coadiutor, it was carried 70 triumphantly
forward that not only has read been
furnished to the subscribers at less than
bakers prices, but the ~, 400 subscribed
in the hard times has been repaid to the
gentlemen who benevolently advanced
t. and q bal cry worth IS coo has been
erected. From a thousand to eleven
hundred families now derive from tins
source their daily supply, OF the very
hest bread. instead Of paying higher
nrice for that of inferior quality, or
haying the trouble and inconvenience OF
J baking at home.

advocate of fat alias despotic money,
i. g., the brand of the government can
make a dollar out of a piece of leather,
or iron, or paper, as it wills.
This is the most monstrous and
anti.Republican doctrine that ever
originated in modern times, for it en-.
courages an arbitrary despotism in bust
ness matters which no Ole but monarch
ist should advocate. And yet this abom-
Unable fiat doctrine has received over
100000 Democratic votes in the person
of Tom Ewing, its candidate for Cover
nor of Ohio. Is there not cause fer 10Y
everywhere when the people have put
their seal of infAmy upon such doctrine ?
And yet more, the people of Ohio
have stamped their reprobation upon
Allen G. Thurman, tire most dangerous
politician in the United States after
Samuel J. Tilden, by returning legis-
lature which will choose as senator
from Ohio man whofavors the mainte-

doctrine of state sovereignty. Under

to God that such mighty results have
been accomplished by the voice of the
people of a single state.

GOV. SMITHS CITIZENSHIP.
The Last Democratic CaIumny Ex.
posed


The Madison JouynG of the 18th thus
effectually exposes thelatest calumny of
the Madison Denocrd regarding Gov.
Smith:
The last effort of the Democrat against
the governor appeared bis morning, and,
if possible, is meaner tlsn any that have
preceded it. The etforwas to show that
Gov. Smith had held Office in Wisconsin
many years before he YES citizen of the
United States. The editor had moused
about the Supreme Court room, and
found by the records that Gov Smith
took out acknowledgements in April,
1870, and copies # these papers
are published TO shoy that the gov
ernor, up to 1870, vas "a subject
of Her Majesty, the Queen of Great
Britain" A few wordswill explode this

came from Scotland t, this country,
with his family, when VIM. &. Smith
was about ten years of ge he became a
citizen as soon as he Guild do SO under
our naturalization laws, and his becom.
ing a citizen made citizens of all his
minor children, and of this number war
William T.. Smith, now governor OF
Wisconsin. 1t will thus be seen that the
naturalization papers taken out in 1870,
and published with great flourish in
the Democrat, were wholly unnecessary
TO constitute Gov. Smith full citizen of
the United States.
The explanation for the taking out of
these papers is easy and simple. In the
spring of 1870, Mr.. Smith made his ar
rangements to visit Europe, and he
applied to the proper authorities for a
passport. Blanks wefo sent him upon
which to make his application. In filling
these blanks he found that he must state
the place of his nativity, and if it was on
foreign soil, he must give proof that he
was then citizen of this country. Hay
ing been born in Scotland, he must show
proof of citizenship. He had but short
time in which to obtain this proof prior
to the day of sailing, and his passage was
secured. To do 30 would require writing
to bis father, who resided in Michigan,
and would be attended with considera.
BILE trouble. 1t occurred to him
that the whole matter could
be arranged in few moments by
stepping into the Office of the clerk of
the Supreme Court and taking out
papers. 1t was done al once; and this
is all there was of it. These papers
were taken out because it was the easiest
and quickest way for him to prove his
citizenship in order to receive his passport
1t was simply matter of convenience
for the time being, and not at all neces
sary to constitute him full citizen o!
the United States, as he had been such
for many years before he came to Wis
consin; and he came to this state in
1S49. What can the people think of q
party or a paper that resorts to such con
temptible tricks to injure an honorable
and high-minded opponent?

The Verdict in Ohio.
From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The verdict of the people of Ohio,
rendered Tuesday, will carry JOY to
patriotic hearts throughout the land
from the ST Lawrence to the Rio
Grande. One of the great questions AT
issue was: Shall the policy of resump-
ton of coin payments on all the currency
in the United States as established by
the National Republican party be sus-
tanned? And the majority Of $4,000 for
Charles Foster, as the representative Of
the Republican principle, over Tom
Ewing, the representative Of the opposite
principle, and we may add of almost
everything bad and dangerous in finance,
has relighted the glow of integrity and
patriotism almost as much as would the
result of fortunate presidential election.
Ohio has become q mighty state in
American politics. In 1863 she all but
decided the fate of the Union by the
election of the patriotic John Brough
over the copperhead Vallandigham
by 101 900 majority. IN rs she was
again called to great trial when K. B.
Hayes was confronted by William
Allen, the avowed candidate of AL those
who opposed the resumption act of rs
and the triumph of Hayes then deter
mined that resumption should be carried
out, and it elected him Pres dent of the
United States, and the people are now
in the enjoyment of that glorious future

AT Agricultural park yesterday, DR.,
John Ruth, of Oakland, gave an exhibit
ton of his skill as rifle shot, and
achieved decided success, astonishing
even his friends. During the entertain
ment he shot cigars from the mouth of
his assistant, who was standing about 20
feet distant, and not only did so while
having the gun--a % calibre Ballard
against his shoulder in the usual man
ner, but with it turned sideways and
upside down, with the stock resting upon
his head. He also shot apples from
stick two or three inches long held in
his assistants mouth, the gun being
fred from various different positions,
including sighting over his shoulder
with a small mirror, and also shot glass
balls from his assistants head, making
many shots that were difficult and seemed
perilous. The audience were at loss
which to admire most, the nerve of the
shooter or Of the youth who held tar

The Shah's play.

The shah Of Persia, it is rumored, is
writing play; and men in Teheran are
rsnsscking the vocabulary of praise for
terms to employ in reference to it. His
majesty once painted picture in which
a camel in the background was higher
than a tree in the foreground, and in
which an old mill on the left is not so
large as a dog on the right. This can
vas be sent TO the committee of the an
nual exhibition, who, of course. did not
hang it above the line. Ia the other
case they would SON have been head
less committee. The critics as body
wereequslly plant. They eulogized the
picture for its depth of tone, artistic
grouping, and fneness of sentiment.
They maintained that his majesty was a
Raphael and Meissonier rolled into one.
One of the critics, however, was rash
enough to hint that the picture lacked
feeling. In few hours he lacked feel
ing himself, for the simple reason that he
lacked a head. The literary critics
therefore, VIII be on their guard wher
they speak of the shsh'a play. tn

Now, Mrs. Beach loved her hus-

he was not q demonstrative man, and
the first beauty and poetry OF their
married life had settled down into a
