DEAR HERALD: With a sudden inspiration
seize my pen, and with mighty effort
direct my thoughts into the channel Of
newspaper communication. For some time
past our little village has been slightly dis
turbed by vague and uncertain rumors that
our railroad connections with the rest of the
world will coon be cut off, the intention be-
ing it was said to tear up our little railroad
root and branch and consign it to more
elevated position on the Military ridge, to
tap some indefinite point on the Mississippi,
but we rely on the new Pontoon bridge
which we have been confdentially informed
is soon to be swung across the river, to bring
us on direct route from Tomah to Chicago.
We'll, word for the business portion of
our village. Mrs. Elliott is our worthy P.

prepared to keep regular or transient
boarders at the most reasonable rates.

deal of potiee here, and the impression
produced by their last visit is remembered
with much pleasure. The Pittsburg

says:
Rarely have we witnessed such enthusi-
asm oyer performance at this place as
was present last evening. They were fairly
carried away by the performance of the
Church Choir Company, which was vocal
ly, one OF the finest ever given in this CITY,
Not content with the abundance of music
in Pinafore everything had to be repeat
ed, which to say the least, is commendable
to the performers. who acted well and
sung with vim and yigor. The voices of
the different members of the company are
rich and clear, and are well managed.
John Il. McWade is a success, and has
a command of a most powerful baritone
voice. The sweetest tenor we ever heard
Is Philip Fried, who assumed the part of
Ralph Rackstra,o. Another creditable
performance was that of Mr.. Raymond, as
Dick Deodeye. The rapturous enthusiasm
OF the audience was the means of determ-
Ing the managers to give special matinee
Saturday afternoon. The engagement
will be a brilliant one.
Seats can be secured at Wylie & Me-

Census Enumerators.
From the Peoria TRANSCRIPT.


There are scores of people in every CON
munity who would break their necks run
ming after some Office, no matter how in
significant, 50 that it be an Office. Doubt
less there are 500 people 10 our city, and
scores in each of our country towns, who
havs their eyes ca the matter Of the com
ing census, and are really worrying over
their chances for appointment as census
euumerators. To reach this class, Mr. j,
w. Bailey, supervisor of the census 10 this
district, sends out the following through
the medium of his paper, the Bureau
County Republican. Let all those who
have an itch to get a hand 10 the taking of
the census read it and ponder:
In September last we published q
detailed statement, from Superintendent
Walker, of the census bureau at Washing
ton, relative to the duty of enumerators Of
the tenth census; and as We are receiving
a great many Inquiries upon this point, it
may rot be out of place to briefly recapit-
ulate. By the act of 1879, enumeration
districts are not permitted to exceed 1000
habitants. according to the census of
1870; but it is the opinion of the superiu :
tendent that the districts. except in cities
and large towns, should be considerably
below this limit-as rule limited
TO one township, unless the p0pu-
lation shall be small The work mus,
commence with the first Monday
in June. and be completed in four
weeks; except in cities of 10000 inhabi-
tants or over, where it must be .com=
pleted 10 two weeks. The compensation
for certain classes OF work will be regula-
ted By the inbabitants enumerated.
deaths reported, farms and shops returned
etc, and ia DO district will the rate of
compensation exceed 81 per day of ten
hours actual field work; hence it will be
seen that the aggregate amount to any oas
enumerator cannot much exceed 800;
while the majority will receive considers
bly, less than that amount. EDumerators
must work in the towns ia which they live
and for the most part, know the people
This will afford them the opportunity of
reaching home nearly every night, and
make their travelling expenses light; be-
sides, making their work less liable to
errors and omissions. 1t would not only
be wrong to the Government, but q posi-
tive cruelty TO the appointed himself, for .

ded clerical aptitude. and of active habits

the enumerator would earn 81 per day
with difficulty, besides performing very
unsatisfactory work for the Government:

The Disappointed Aspirans.

The scramble after the postmastership
has been settled-at least compromise
has been effected By which Charles W.
HAYES and Thomas Murdoch withdraw
their claims 10 favor of Major j.. NJ
Beardsley whose petition has cbeen duly
forwarded to Washington and will be
presented through Hon. 7. j. Henderson
to the president. LEAF by leaf the roses
fall" and one by one the schemes of the
Union fail. 1t is pity that the grand
and lofty ambition of the editorial aspirant
should thus be crushed at one fell swoop
in the very pride and glory of expected
triumph. Petitions are his hobby-if there
is anyone who can bundle petition under
his armit is the editorial aspirant for polite
cal honor. 1t was he'who first conceived
the idea of petltionine the council to abol-
ish the old charter-his petition
called for @ special election, but
the Mayor and the council quietly
ignored it-and it was pigeon
holed until such time as the council
thought proper to take actlon-and then
the Question was voted on at a regular and
not a special election. Since then the
editorial aspirant has been petitioning the
council to redistrict the city at once. but
somehow the aldermen don't seem to be
in hurry to follow the aspirant's man
date. Then he wants all the officers made
elective Except postmaster) and again
does cruel fate overtake him. This last
sad blow, was the ideal hope of his
life. To be postmaster and thus rule the
roost as the king of the Republican party
| in this county, was the GROWING height of
his ambition-but it cannot be and h emust
be content to HE him to his lonely sane
tum and grind out extracts from the New
York Tribune, properly loaded as original
editorials, until Fortunes wheel shall turn
the crank, and give him show. Some
such epitaph would fit the aspirant's case.
I'm grieved, disappointed man
Though try to get all that can.
| I've tried to run rings
| And all otheI things,
But I'm totally burned if can.
