T ,e prohibitiopists are very much
chagrined over the result, and the ap
pearance OF temperance state ticket
next fall is among the probabilities.
The bill having for it's object the
uniformity and cheapuess of text
books in our common schools passed
the senate some ten days ago, but was
summary disposed of in the Assem-
bly, last Thursday Debate on the
bill was cut off and it met a sudden
aud uutlmely death. The preparation
of this bill cost the state a good deal
of money. A commission composed
of several of the best educators of the
state was created by the Legislature
last winter to prepare a bD. Much
time and attention was given to the
matter and this was perhaps as perfect
a bill as could be drawn on the subject.
[ at least deserved more considera-
ton than it received at the hands of
the Assembly. Whether on the
whole it would be beneficial to our
common schools, for the state to take
supervision of the text books | am
not prepared to say, but the measure
has many warm advocates among the
best educatonalists in the state. At
any rate the Assembly disposed of the
question with undue haste, and it is
another instance Of the slap-bang Iegis-
latiun 50 much in vogue these days.
The interest bill which passed the
House after a desperate struggle was
Indefinitely postponed in the senate Fri
day evening. This bill provides that
the legal rate of interest shall be 8
per cent per aunum by agreement and
6 per cent in the absence of any agree
ment
That modern humbug, the Oshkosh
steam wagon has won the day, and
will pilfer the state treasury to the
extent of S. 1000, bill to that effect
having passed both houses of the legis-
lature. The owners of this wagon
have been here appealing to the SYM
pathetic legislator for his assistance,
with the heart rending story that they
have invested their lite all in getting
up this road wagon with the impression
that they would receive, if their wagon
shou d make trip of 200 miles on
ordinary roads, the sam of $40, 900,
10 accordance with law enacted a
few years ago. The state will pay
SIS, 900 for the folly of that fcol-Iegis-
lature, and we shall have heard the
last of steam road wagons, the law
bearing on this subject having expired
by limitation.
That great and good bill-the most
worthy of them all-the bill having
for its object tie replenishing of the
exchequer of that great promoter of
Agriculture and the Mechanical arts, the
Central Wisconsin Fair, met an un-
timely death at the hands of these uu-
godly Legislators last week. The
murder was most foul and unnatural,
but the bill has only met the fate of
all things truly good aud deserving

Two NOTABLE FATHERS.-We clip

The Crawford County Ind.) Democrat
has the following interesting paragraph re-
father, in Jennings township: "a child was
born to a couple in 1872 In 1869 the father
of this child married his second and present
wife, and, ten years later, in 1879, child
was born by the second wife, it being the
eighth child born during the ten years of
their marriage, three premature and five
large and healthy babies. There is Just six
ty-SeYen years difference in the ages of the
children, and in this month the father will be
SS years old. This all occurred in Jennings

the twenty-ffth child of Father Elijah Nc

has been to see us and shake hands over the

A BIRDS CoURTsH1p AND DEATH

y BIRDS COURTsHIP AND DEATH.-
The st. Louis Times says that a lady
who lives on Olive street, in that city,
relates the following:
\ few days ago there fell in front of her
window from tree ''chippy,' or ground
bird, such chatter about the parks and
streets. 1t seemed wearied and crippled.
She picked it up, carried it into the house,
fed it from her own mouth and at night
placed it in the cage with her canary. The
canary at once bestowed upon the new conner
all OF the attention OF mother and nestled
beside the little stranger during the night.
In the morning the lady placed the chippy in
the window so that it might have the privi-
lege of regaining its freedom. 1t plumed its
tiny wings and went away. The canary
mOurned during the day as if he had lost his
mate. In the evening the chippy came back
and peTched upon the window The sash
was raised and it flew in and nestled upon
the cage; the canary at once struck up his
hyeliest notes and seemed gratifed. This
was repeated two or three days, the chippy
going each morning and returning in, the
evening. One day it went away and did not
come back. The canary dropped and the
next day fell dead from his perch in the sun
shine that played over the gilded cage in the
window. That night the chippy returned
and during the evening it mouned over its
dead companion. In the morning il clmg to
the cage until il was turned out. For few
days the empty cage was hung in the win
dow, and on each succeeding evening the
chippy returned and chrped as if it was
grief-Stricken. One day it brought worm
in its bill, dropped it in the cage, and flew
away and came back no more.

WHEN WHEAT SHOULD BE Cur
There has been.sOme diversity of opin-
ion as to the best time to cut wheat
judging from the common practice Of
farmers 1t is generally cut when tine
grain has become hard. The German
town Telegraph holds that this is no
doubt an error, and one of more i'm
pOrtance than many suppose. II adds:
1t should be remembered that wheat is
composed of gluten, starch and bran.
Gluten is the nourishing quality Of the
grain, makes the -four stick together in
the hands of the baker, and gives
weight to the grain-and there is the
greatest quantity Of gluten in the grain
just when the straw IS yellow two or
three joints from the ground, .he head
turns downward, and you can mash n
grain between your thumb and fingers
without producing any milk. 1t NAV
therefore he set down as an indisputa-
BILE truth that every day the wheat
stands after this stage Of It's ripeness,
the gluten decreases in quantity and
the bran increases in thickness, while
also there is danger of rust.

THE SINS OF THE DRUNKARD.

BY order of the Bishop of Liverpool
the following important announcements
were recently made in the churches and
chapels of that diocese:
In consequence of the widely-spread vice
of intemperance and the many evils, both
spiritual and temporal, resulting from 1t, we
feel it incumbent upon us to make known 70
all the following doctrines, the teaching of
our graveSt theologlans
l. WhosOever deliberately drinks to such
an extent as to lose his reason, commits
mortal sin.
2. Whosoever knows by past experience
that certain quantity of liquor has rendered
him intoxicated, if he again drinks to the
same degree, whereby he doth, can, and
ought to foreSee that drunkenness will en-
sue, commits mortal sin.
3. WhoSOever continues to drink, nOtwith-
standing his probable belief that intOxication
will be the result, and notwithstanding that
he foreSeeS, OF ought to foreSee this danger,
commits a mortal sin.
I. WhoSOever knows by past experience
that when drunk he is accustomed to bias
pheme, or to utter other improper language,
or to strike other individuals about him, be-
sides the mortal sin of drunkenness, he is
guilty of those other crimes, either mortal or
venal, committed during the state of intoXi-
cation.
3. Whosoever knows by past experience
that by frequenting ale houses; gin shops
and taVernS, or by going thither in company
with others, he is generally accustomed to
fall into drunkenness, is obliged under NOR
tai sin to avoid the prOXimate occasion of sin,
/ that is, to abstain from frequenting such ale
4 houses, gin shops or tavernS, or from going
! thither with such companions.
! 6. WhoSOever goes to confession, and has
not a true and firm resolution of abStaining,
/ in the cases aforesaid, cannot be abSolved,
/ and should he receive absOlUtiOn, il is not
! only of no avail, but he becomes guilty of
4 sacTilegious confession.
/ z. WhoSOeVer does not adopt the proper
! means for the correction of this vicious habit
! of drunkenness, committed another mortal
sin, distinct from the actual sin of drunken
| ness, and moreover, remains in a continual
state of sin.
S. Whosoever enticeS or urges another tC
excess in drinking whom he fOresees will bt
| intoxicated, commits a mortal sin.
9. Any seller of liquor who continues tC
| supply it to an individual whom he know:
will be intoxicated Herewith, commits NOR
tai sin, because he deliberately cooperate
in the grievous sin of another.
10. WhosOever is guilty of excess and in
temperance in drinking, even though not t
intoxicatiOn, but thereby causing great dis
treSs to his family, squandering away by hi
mtempeTance that which should serve 70
their support, commits mortal sin agains
charity and justice. In like manner, whose
ever thus renders himself incapable of tn
payment of his debts, although he may no
| drink to intOXicatiOn, commits mortal sin.
| Let all confessorS, both secular and TegU
lar, impress upon their penitents the enOl
nifty of this sin, by some, perhaps, little rt
gaTded and let them diligently prescribe tn
means for the correction.

SILVER SPANGLED HAMBURGs.-
Farmers keep poultry more for eggs

amount of food that 80 Brahmas or

him
He is defoTmed in dozen different WAYS
There is no flesh on his bones. He is a living

He sits upon his right hip, and his left is ex-
actly perpendicular to it. His breast bone
rests upon his left hip; he has four ribs on
his left side and fifteen on his right: his
spine is in the shape of shepherds crook !:
his heart is ON the right side: his lungs are
twice as large as those of an ordinary man.
