The improvement of the City Park
is not very manifest as yet, but the
fence has disappeared. The curling

there will be no further delay in exc
cutting contemplated improvements.

We have had the pleasure of look
ing through the proposed course OF
study for the Kenosha schools, pre-
pared by Supt. Hayes. Without CUES
ton it will meet the approval of the
Board of Education and be adopted
The course is we'll up to the times, ex-
plicit and practical. 1t is strange that
our schools have been permitted to
run on from year to year with so little
system. A reorganization has become
imperative, and the course of study
now prepared will form a most excel
lent basis for such a step.

Taber, the Pleasant Prairie cores

garding the mishaps of July Sd. The
parties who went for a row were not
locked in, and were not the last to
leave the grounds, as several teams
drove in just as they were leaving
Besides, the grounds did not belong to

would advise Taber not to rely too
much on his reporters. X.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July oath, 1880.
There has been, during the past
week, a notable increase of confidence
and enthusiasm at this Republican
campaign centre, and the Democrats,
who have been fatuitOusly expecting
an easy victory, are now brought face
to face with the facts that the Repub-
licans were never better organized,
more determined, or, | may say, more
encouraged with reasonable confidence
of success. From all parts of the coun-
try comes the intelligence that the party
is harmonious on the one great ques-
ton. Local differences have been
waived, and supposed malcontents
have signifed their intention to work
zealously for the common cause
General Grants characteristic bugle
blast, it is estimated, will call forth
thousands of unseen warriors to swell
the vote of "the man for the place"
and it will doubtless have stimulat-
ing healthful influence on some other
distinguished chieftains of the party
whom the Democrats have been pray
ing might have a chronic attack OF
disaffection One thing is certain, if
the Democrats suppose that Senators
Cameron, Conkling and Blaine are
luke-warm or disaffected because they
are refreshing themselves at watering
places and on fishing excursions now,
when the real campaign will not open
for two months, they are building
their hopes on very flimsy theories.
To those whose pecuniary interests
are centered in Washington, the posi-
BILE advent of a Democratic admins
tration cannot but be regarded with
alarm. During the last twenty years
the National Capital has changed from
a dilapidated southern town to beau
tlful northern city. This change has
been brought about by the substitu-
ton of northern thrift and energy for
southern Incidence. A Democratic
administration would work a great
change in the character of the popula-
ton. Elected by a solid south, its
cabinet, bureau officers, and clerks
would bear some proportion in num-
bers to the votes it had given. There
might be the same number of persons
here to be sheltered, fed and clothed,
but that is not all that is needed to
make a prosperous city. There would
soon begin sinking toward the old
condition which existed before a Re-
publican administration brought in
enterprise and progress. Business
men and owners of real estate have
no desire to bring in Democratic adj
ministration.

PAINTERS AND PAINTING.
MARGARET B. HARVEY.

Perhaps some of you, my friends,
have come to wonder whether knew
else than art. as have talked
so much on this subject. Well. pa
thence, sister, / shall soon be done.
But dislike to dismiss it altogether
without saying something about its
history for, know, if you have be-
come interested in it at all. you will
want to know more of its past. So.
preparatory to my taking up literature,
and as a fitting introduction thereto.
I will give you list of some of the
old painters. Such information, / am
sure, is, at present, a dead language to
many. Happy shall be if | can in
terpret it to 0nei
You observe that the names are ar
ranged in chronological order, so that
they signify not only the flight of time,
but the growth of art itself. III afew
eases, authorities differ by several
years as to dates. If | were you. /
should cut out the list and preserve it
for future reference. / forgot to say
that l have placed after the name OF
each painter one of his best known
works, as an aid to memory.

commonly known as ''Dutchy,"
and committed some months ago
near Ben's ranch, in Southern Utah.
Ben. is a bold, bad man, with a
notoriety as q horse thief second to
none in the west; be has been in
dicted and tried time and time again,
but by the judicious use of dlibis, OF
which he had constantly an unlimited
supply, he invariably succeeded in
al acquittsl. Whenever &C
cused of being a cattle thief, be used
to laugh and say, well, may be
l am, but prove it," In this
instance, however, Ben'a abb failed,
the time of all times when it should
have proved efficscious. From pres
ent indications Ben. will not steal any
more cattle. and will expiste his re.
pested crimes by his death. They all
come to such an end at last who pur-
sue such course.
