miles. Snow ] ranges on all si0es rear
their heads into cloud,and, but we
overlook them all. How the heart
swells with JOY as We rest our weary
limbs on the crest of this old sentinel
CT the mid-continent. What Joy to
stand where the trickling streams start
for both oceans and to see the fringed
ribbons of green marking the flow of
the Platte and other rivers, with inter.
vening mountains, lakes and canons
For our edifcation, and TO make the
view more grand and sublime. little
storm cloud came dashing up the
mountain-side, as il it would give bat
tie to the grim old monarch. Sharp
flashes of lightning played zig-zag all
about us, making us feel sensibly the
electricity in the air.
Sweeping on over the mountain, the
rain soon ceased, the wind changed
and we were treated to genuine snow
storm on the 30th of July. Here on
this lofty peak, in the region Of eternal
silence, our eyes ranging over noun
tains, canons and the green gray OF
the endless plains, we thought of home
kindred and friends, and in our Inmost
hearts gave thanks to God for the finest
land on which the sun ever shone.
Weary and foot-sore we leave this
mount of observation and for home by
slow and steady steps. We are helped
by our guide down steep declivities or
along icy gillches, or creep on hands
and knees under shelving rocks, till
we reach timber line and our horses
just as night is shutting in, and there
comes over us the chilling thought of
being lost on the mountains, but our
noble guide orders us to lay down the
reins and trust to our faithful ponies,
so taking it by faith we sit serenely
riding and waiting, and at II o'clock
reach Stetson's, to dream of perils and
triumphs that will never be forgotten
by any of our party.

The arrest of Parnell was quickly
followed by that of Dillon, and, &c
judge from the oyations the Premier is
receiving in England, he has at least
the approval of his English constitu.
ency. Old Ireland is in terrible state
of excitement over the arrests, and the
Land League receives large sympathy
in this country. The firm stand taken
by the government seems to be the only
means of controlling the turbulent ele-
ments of work in that unhappy coun
try. If Ireland really contemplates re.
volution, then are it's destinies in the
hands of those who are fast working
toward the accomplishment of that end
whether Intentionally or not. 1t is one
t hing to demand concessions and re-.
forms, and to labor unitedly for them
but to refuse to receive what would
evidently be u vast step toward an
amelioration of the evils, and demand
a full and sweeping change, to the loss

wrongfully, English dominion. and
England had better establish law and
order there or lett go. The latter they

Forty-six schools of the county have
adopted uniformity of text books.
The other sixteen schools need a change
of books very much. There are schools
where the pupils are using the same
books that were in use twenty years
ego. A uniformity of textbooks is de-
sirable for several reasons. It is
cheaper; it saves time in school: it en-
ables teachers to keep classes together.
The old books are only published to
supply those schools which still use
them, and they cost nearly double as
much as the newer and better books.
and we hope that district boards will
adopt a list Of books before school
opens.

The legal proceedings that will re-
suit in final disposition of Guiteau
have fairly begun. Scoville, brother
in-law of the assassin, has undertaken
the defense. He will require, and may
possibly get, able legal assistance,
though thus far his efforts to obtain it
have been anything but satisfactory.
The profession in New York gave him
a decidedly cold shoulder, refusing to
have anything to do with the case
without an exceptionally large fee.
which, of course, it will be impossible
to give. The plea of not guilty has
been entere@apon the ground of in
sanity, and that the death of the Pres
ident was not necessarily fatal from
the wound, but resulted from NAL
practice. The question of jurisdiction
will first be settled. Scoville has sue
ceeded in getting able assistance in ar
guing this question. He will try to
get Ben. Butler to help in the defense
as to the crime itself. 1t is certain on
the start that every effort will be made
to clear the prisoner on technical IT.
Irregularities in the prosecution, and de-
lays will be sought in all possible ways.
Guiteau's removal from jail and trans
fer to and from the court room was
not attended with any unusual demon
stration. The excitement has suffi
GENTLY cooled to make it probable that
no violence will be attempted. bu
that the assassin will have a fair and
impartial trial. Should the defense
however, develop any prospects Of
clearing the prisoner, the ire of tn,
people will be aroused, and Guiteau
will stand poor chance of ever reap

be punished legally, whether it be as a
criminal, or, on proof of insanity, he
be placed in an asylum for life.

Several of the teachers have spoken
to the superintendent in relation to the
drawing slips recommended by Prof.
Johnson. Mr.. Will Barnes has had

be bought for twenty-five cents per

need.

The Republican meeting which was
to have been held in KenOsha Monday
night was postponed on account of
bad weather. The first Republican
rally was held in Fond du Lac on
Tuesday evening. A large and en-
thusiastic crowd assembled to hear
what the boys had to say. The meet
ing was held in the opera house, and
was addressed by Hon. L. F. Frisby,
candidate for State Attorney, E. c.
McF etridge. of Dodge county, and T
G. Timme, of this city, in short
speeches, followed by Thos. M. Niehol
In full campaign address. The en-
thusiastic reception accorded to the
speakers, the attention and respect
shown them, indicate in what estima-
ton the ticket they are laboring to
elect is held. Mr. Nichol dwelt at
some length upon the prohibition
phase of the campaign and its tenden-
cy to help the Democrats out of tight
corner, while it would be of no earthly
benefit to the temperance people, who,
at best, are not united - are, in fact
very much disunited-on the advisable
ity of the move. Mr.. Timme's re-
marks were very well received, and
he was loudly cheered. The Captains
happy way of impressing people that
he knows perfectly well what he is
about, and his friendly, conversational
manner will count more in campaign

1t sees in the publication of Blaine's
letter to Garfield accepting Cabinet
position preliminary move toward
the Presidency in 1884. The Inter
Ocean hurls this bit of news abroad as
though 1T would prove yeritable
brand of fire. And so it may, but in
q sense the IDter-Ocean does not in
tend. 1t will take very small spark
to kindle the deep enthusiasm that is
felt for James G. Blaine into an illum-
ination that in the campaign of 1884
would cause all other lights to fade
and disappear. His is the one name
that the best elements of the Republic
can party would most delight to
honor. Let that name once start and
the InteF-Ocedn will find that it can
not furnish enough water to put it out

We trust that the friends of Mr.
Middlecamp, the Republican candidate
for County Superintendent, are not
idle. Mr.. Middlecamp is away in a
distant part of the State, where it is
impossible for him to take any active
steps in the campaign. Those who are
anxious to see him elected will find it
will require some pretty heavy work,
as Mr.. Mahoney, the Democratic can
didate, has the decided advantage of
being in the field and knowing the
ground. However satisfactorily the
office Of Superintendent may have
been filled, there is large demand i'm
some parts of the county for change.
If this change is effected it will require
work, and work of the tallest kind, on
the part of those who desire to see Mr..
Middlecamp in the office.

Election is approaching rapidly and
serenely in these parts. There does
not seem to be a great amount of
wrangling. The elections not being of
the closely local character, no partisan
bitterness is generated. The Prohibit
ton movement is not discussed very
much. The temperance people are
slow to declare their support. Every
body who has mind what he will do
keeps it to himself. 1t would not be
surprising if, come election day. the
Prohibitory Republicans would drop
into line and vote the straight old tick
ct. If very great drawing off occurs.
the result Of the election will be a
Democratic victory, and even the
strongest Prohibitionists will scarcely
wish to see such result. The State
Republican ticket is popular through
out. Only those who failed to perform
the cherished wish OF their hearts, to
put Mr.. Warner at the ticket. sit back
and do all the pulling they can. The
only excuse for such a course is that
they were not successful in their eff
forts to be nominated. In spirit Of
vile partizan meanness and spite they
commence mud singing attack upon
every honest effort Of the party to
pass a good muster on election day.

How a BabO0n Dimes.

Harry, the large Chacma baboon in
the Philadelphia "Zoo," has been taught
to dine in civilized fashion. The first
alpaca coat put on him he tore in shreds,
and at first he opposed dining at a table
very vigorously, brt he soon grasped the
idea that if he did as his keeper wanted
him to he would be rewarded with a
lump of sugar, and after that he became
a very apt scholar. He has recently been
fitted out with blue canvass coat trim
med with red and white bands, and but
tons as large as trade dollars. He now
takes his meals in public, special table
having been built for him. The first
meal is given to him at i o'clock in the
morning and the next at o'clock in the
afternoon. AT sign from the keeper
he seats himself upon the stool and de
murely waits to be helped. The bill OF
fare varies, consisting of rice, sweet pota-
toes, bread and butter, milk, &c, given
at differ mt times. Saturday he was al
lowed sweet potatoes and tea, with sew.
eral Jumps of sugar. As the keeper
sliced the potatoes the baboon leisurely
and deIAurely picked up the pieces and
placed them in his mooth, taking from
the cup, which he held in both hands, 8
draught of tea occasionally. When the
meal was finished he took a roll in the
grass and then, at a sign, jumped on tho
keepers back and was carried part Of
the way to his inclosure. Before the
summer is over the young female baboor
will be put through similar course OF
training, so she can take the place al
the table now occupied by the keeper.

Helping herself to his standing corn;
