Two Wisconsin Congressman have
been nominated for re-election-Wil-
liams, in the First District and Humph-
rey in the Seventh. Pound of the
Eighth. will be re-nOminated, but Cas-
well of the Second, and Hazelton, of
the Third, are not quite certain of be-
ing returned. Deuster, Bragg and
Bouck, all Democrats, OF the Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth respectively, will prob
ably be re-nominated, but there is a
reasonable probability that Deuster
and Bouck will get left in November.
The rebels of the South constitute
the majority of the Democratic party
and as consequence are its ruling
element. They nominated Hancock,
and did so advisedly, knowing that he
was their man. These are facts that
cannot lie successfully questioned.
Then why should any one who in 1861
believed the rebels were traitors and
clearly in the wrong, vote for the can
didate put forward for the Presidency
in 1880 by those same offenders against
the government and common HUMANE
ty! Echo answers, why!

WE feel convinced That by proper
effort on the part of the Republican
County Committee the services of a
prominent speaker from abroad can
be secured for one or more speeches
in Pierce County. The Congressional
Committee ought to be able to get one
of the biggest guns also for one speech
at least in the St CroiX Valley. What
say You, gentlemen! A few speeches
by the right kind of men put where
they will do the most good will have a
telling effect.

SHERIDAN'S LANGUAGE IN
RATTLE

Gen. (and ex-Governor) Joshua l..
Chamberlain of Maine, testifies to
what he saw at the battle of Five
Forks, and gives a graphic sketch of
an interview between Gen. Sheridan
and Gen. Bartlett. The enemy's works
had been stormed and taken by Ayre's
division, and Sheridan and staff were
dashing down the White Oak road to-
ward the west, with bullets flying
around than. When near the Ford
road, Gen. Bartlett, grim with the
smoke of the battle, rode up and said
his brigade had captured some guns.
Sheridan, with fiercely profane empha-
sis, replied that he cared nothing for
the guns or his brigade. GO back
and fight the enemy" he cried, "it's
the Southside Railroad that we want"
and, pointing to the sinking sun
among the trees he added, with great
vehemence, "We have record to
make before that sun sets which will
make hell tremble."

A Rellnl.k0NLe WOHO1l.

A remarkable wagon has been inven.
ted III the far West. 1t has four wheel:
of equal size, and perhaps five feet in
diameter,on which to run. Above the
hind wheels are seats for passengers and
a bed for freight. In front of this bed
and attached to the forward axle are cog
and balance wheels, and above them on
a frame is large cog wheel, one revo-
luton of which turns small cog wheel
fastened to the axle a dozen or more
times. The inventors theory was that
when the wagon was once set in motion
its speed would be accelerated by its
own motion, and that the only trouble
would be in preventing it from running
too fast. To keep it from running away
with itself, across valleys ard over
mountains and never stopping until
worn out, brakes were arranged to con-
troll it, and steering apparatus was
fixed over the wheels within reach of
the driver. Much was expected of the
machine by the inventor, who was posi-
tive that it would outrun locomotive
across the desert, and revolutionize the
carrying trade, as neither fuel nor
power of any kind was required 20 keep
it going when once started.

a Gallant Rescue.

MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY OF SKILL AND
| STRENGTH IN THE WATER.
81. Louis Correspondent OF The Cinc!nnet
| Enquirer.
The hero OF the day in st. Louis is a
former Cincinnatian named Peter Mil
Ter. He is laboring man, who for
merly worked along the river at Cincin-
natl, and who is employed here on the
lumber RATS which come up from the
Mississippi. Last Saturday afternoon a
boy was playing about one of the raft s
when he slipped and fell into the river.
| The current is swift at Benton street,
and the eddies-dangerou even to the
most experienced swimmers-are at that
point strong and tIeacherous. The boy
was sucked down by the current, tossed
up again further out in the stream and
carried away swiftly. There were thirty
or forty men and boys at work about the
raft, but not one of them dar d to go to
the rescue Of the little fellow in the
water. -Four times he came to the sur
face, and when he went down the fit b
time far out in the river he came up no
more, only lot of bubbles showing
where he had disappeared. Miller,
when the boy fell in, was working at
point about fifty rods away, and, at
tracted by the shouting, came running
to the spot. When he reached the raft
the boy had gone down the fifth time,
but he marked the bubbles on the
water and plunged in with a roar ,of
"Rope J" at the men about who had
feared the venture, swearing that he
would have the boy or drown.
He was heavily dressed, but swan
like an otter to the bubbles, and then
dived. For long time nothing was
seen; then, lower down the river a mans
head appeared, moving slowly coward
the shore. 1t seemed Incredible that it
should be Miller with the body, but so
it proved, aud then followed the specta-
Gle of as gallant a swimming feat as
was ever witnessed. The man was
weighed down by his own heavy clolh-
ing, the body was a burden Gripping
his efforts, and the current something
few men dare enter even in swimming
apparel; but Miller never thought Of
dropping his load, and finally, after
magnificent display of strength and
skill in the water, reached the shore
again. No one thought there was any
life in the boy; but efforts at resuscita-
ton was made, as a matter of course,
and two hours later animation was re-
stored and the lads life saved. AS for
Miller, even after his deperate battle
for life, he did not seem to think that
he lad done anything remarkable, and
came out of the water as he went in,
chiefly full of fine rage at the group of
men who could stand by and see a
child suckad into the pddina Of tba Mis-
sissippi. He seemed to be impressed
with the idea that che could whip any
man IN the crowd" but his ability in
that direction was not put to the test by
any of the brawny raftsmen. There
was look in the mans eye as he came
out of The water, dripping, which cowed
the pluckiest of even these free-hght-
ers.

FIGHT WITH A WILDCAT.
From the Bodie Free Press.


Jerry Wright had desperate fight
with wildcat yesterday afternoon
lie started out to look after wood that
is piled up in the hills about two miles
below the Syndicate mill. He was
moving along leisurely, when sudden
iy he came to an abrupt turn or rise of
ground. In endeavoring 10 crawl over
some rocks that lay in his track there
suddenly jumped up monster Wild
cat. 1t was so close that he could
touch it, and having but one way to
escape, and that in the direction he
was standing, the animal made a
spring upon him. The sharp claws
pierced the flesh of his face and neck,
and in his efforts to pull the frighten-
ed and enraged feline off it only in
creased the struggle. Wright had the
presence of mind to draw small pock
et-knife, which he used to good effect,
making the animal let go its hold
The stabs were sufficient to disable it..
He then drew a six-shooter and killed
the enemy. Its weight is about 30
pounds, being very fat, and has claws
an inch long.

VALUABLE HINTS TO FARMERS

For the last five years l have not
lost cucumber or melon vine or cab
bage plant. Get a barrel with a few
gallons of gas-tar in it; pour water on
the tar; always have it ready when
needed; and when the bugs appear,
give them a liberal drink of the tar
water from garden sprinkler or 9TH
erwise, and if the rain washes it off
and they return, repeat the dose. 1t
will also destroy the Colorado potato
beetle, and frighten the old long pota-
to bug worse than a thrashing with a
brush. Five years ago this summer
both kinds appeared on my late pota-
toes, and l watered with the tar-water.
The next day all Colorados that had
not been well protected from the
sprinkling were dead; and the others,
though their name is legion, were ali
gone, and l have never seen one of
them since. l am aware that many
will look on this with indifference, be-
cause it is SO cheap and simple rem
edy. Such should always feed both
their own and their neighbors' bugs,
as they frequently do.-Chicago 1ri-
