Fresh and sweet as the breeze Of a per-
feet day In June, blown over lilac blossoms and
beds Of strawberries, comes to us n little book to
which its author has given the title, Poems from
an Editors Table" As we turn It's pages they fan
us with the breath of love. Its notes are like the
sound of harp attuned to the desires and pas.
sions oftle humanheart The rhythmic uttorance
of poets emotion, tho beauty Of perfect rhyme
builded by ono skilled In poetic architecture, we
recognize OIL every page of this volume as plainly
as fine pictures are recognized at an exhibition the
creations of the painters genius. The author of
the poems In this book Hugh Farrar McDermott,
has for many years been engaged in the active
work of journalism but he has found time to court
the muse and crystalline his thoughts into verse.
without pretending TO be ono Of the worlds great
singers, Mr. McDermott has nevertheless written
some poems which would be crcditable to many
poets who occupy the highest places in the esteem
of the lovers of song.

SMOKERS ARTICLES in great variety at
Piening & Fechter's.
THE READING AND CONCERT.

The crowd which gathered at Turner
Hall on Tuesday evening was among the
largest ever assembled at that place.
Notwithstanding the size of the crowd,
the arrangements were so systematic that
there was not one particle of the usual
trouble about reserved seats.
Miss Gavin's reading gave general sat-
isfaction. Her selections might have
been made with better Judgment, but
her rendition in the main, merits praise.
She has voice of wonderful compass
and of unusual strength, while her artic-
ulation is almost faultless. Every syl-
liable gets its due proportion of sound.
Her clear enunciation adds materially to
the success of her reading. Her voice is
sonant rather than sweet and is better
adapted to the rendition of passages de-
handing vigor of expression and force
of utterance than to those of simple
pathos and tenderness. She is rather
heroic than tender and her voice is either
incapable of, or has lacked the training
requisite to that modulated softness
which thrills the nearer with sympathy.
The sketch "COnner" when properly
read touches those tender chords of the
soul which are strung upon pity and be-
nevolence. Miss Gavin made it a COM
monplace anecdote. She is possessed of
splendid possibilities in most depart
ments of elocution and is already very
superior reader.
The Lady Quartette realized the ex-
pectations warranted by their former
visit to the city. They were frequently
encored. Issuance River" hardly reach
ed the standard fixed from the known
proficiency of the singers.

The meeting of the board of aldermen
on Monday evening was one of activity
and business. 1t looks much as if the
gentlemen composing that body were the
right men in the right place. They are
looking sharp to pushing things in the
way of improvements and getting the
greatest good for the city at as little ex-
pense ss possible. Streets are being
graded and put in good condition; side
Wa ks are looked after and put in shape
for winter. Our beautiful, natural Parks
surrounding our city of the dead, will
soon be quite an attraction, and when
finished in all it's improvements, ga thing
of beauty and a joy forever" The
Rapids Road is the last great good the
board are determined to make navigable
contrary to the wish of many who own
property along its line notwithstanding.
This street ought to have been fished up
out of the mire twenty years ago but
somehow, the Rip Van Wrinkles of for
mer boards feared the ire of few who
own property in those localities and who
naturally billy-goat at anything that looks
like penny for the general good.

THE CONVENT.

The loss by the burning Of the convent
foots up to S65,O0O. Besides the des-
truction of the building. two pianoes.
two organs, and nearly all the clothing
were destroyed. The building was in
sured for only light sum for the reason
that it was considered fre-proof. 1t was
also supplied with two large water tanks
30 placed as to command the building.
There were also lightning rods. The
bolt struck near one of the rods and the
fire started at point most difficult to be
reached by water.
Next week two of the sisters will can
vass the city to solicit subscriptions for
the rebuilding of the convent. They
have been induced to commence thus
early at the request of several of the cit
liens who promise assistance. The walls
which are now standing must be torn
down as they are not safe.

THE COMMISSIONERS REPORT,

"a press of other business" made it
impossible for us to offer any comments
last week on the result of the labors OF
the commission appointed to review the
equalization OF Manitowoc county. No
one will question the good intention Of
the men engaged in the work and it is
probable that no three men, in the time,
could do better than the gentlemen who
composed the commission for Manitowoc
county. 1t was hardly to be expected
that in the time, those men could 30 ex-
anime property as to determine the just
proportion of taxes to be paid by each
town. The farming lands of towns vary
80 much in value within q small com
pass of territory that any equalization
cannot be approximately correct until
every piece of land is viewed. AS an
instance of how reviewers may be misled,
the change in the valuation Of Newton
may be cited. 1t is the garden of Mani
towoc county, the peer of any town in
the state, and in fertility and improve
ment is equaled by few. A person pass
ing through the western portion of New
ton, that trayersed by the Green Bay
road, will obtain a very erroneous opin-
ion of the value Of that town. This por-
ton of the town is billy, broken and poor,
scrub farms, scrub timber and scrub
crops, with few exceptions. Judging
from the report of the CO omission this
is the part of the town on which the
reduction is based. Had the commission
passed through the interior, or the east
ern part, an increase in the valuation
would certainly follow. Gibson, Kos
suth, Manitowoc and Maple Grove are
raised, and properly. The best part of
Maple Grove lies where few people of
the county, aside from those resident in
that portion, see it, that in the neighbor-
hood of Kasson post Office. The best
part of Meme lies on the road most tray
eled. The same is true of Kossuth.-
The real estate of the city of Manitowoc
is reduced and no one will question the
justice of the reduction. At the same
time if the value of personal property
was the matter reviewed an increase in
individual cases would be warranted.
The value Of real estate may be deter
mined with considerable accuracy. The
trouble lies with personal property. It
is little unfortunate that the commits
sion did not prolong its work sufficiently
long to visit every portion of each town
and thus fix basis for future equaliza-
ton. The report is comparatively value
less although made with the very best
intentions and with as complete data as
could be gathered in the limited time.

EVERGREEN CEMETERY has been under
going improvements lately which make
that "Silent City of the Dead" most
delightful spot where eternal rest is taken
amid scenes of beauty. Mr.. Ertz has
had charge of the work and he has done
himself infinite credit by the manner in
which he performed it. Back of the
cemetery proper, through the grove, are
beautiful winding drives which lead you
to the bluff from which splendid view
of the city and surrounding country can
be had. One can hardly believe that so
much beauty has been SO long concealed.
The cemetery is now one of the most
beautiful in the state. 1t is sad and
lovely spot burying sorrow in its heart
and smiling in the dress of loneliness
1t will pay any person to visit it and no.
tice the change wrought by few dollars
There is always melancholy picturesque
ness about white tombstones looming up
amid the sanctified stiffness of grave
yard. There is always a solemnity of
thought beftting the place and there is
at times feeling of envy for those whose
rest is 80 peaceful. But walk through
the grove SO finely improved serves as a
tonic to your melancholy and you leave,
cured of the impression that "life is a
walking shadow"

times the ordinary dealer perhaps gets in
2 or 8 5fb boxes every month.
There is no disputing the fact that
goods are sold lower in our town than in
any other city in the stats making allow

ANOTHER lively run away took place on
Monday, starting at the river taking Sew
enth street north to Buffalo, thence west
to Eighth, thence south over the Eighth
street bridge where we lost sight of them.
There is scarcely week passes that we
do not have two or three run Always, the
principal cause of which is the habit of
leaving teams united. This must be
stopped, else we will be soon called upon
to record the death of some one from be-
ing run over. Section of an ordinance
adopted August 31st, 1874, to prevent
fast driving on the streets and to regu-
late the hitching of teams, reads as fol-
lows: "Any person or persons who shall
within the limits of this city leave any
horse or horses, mule or mules or oxen
yoked together, whether attached to any
wagon, cart or sleigh or not, on any of
the streets, alleys or public grounds of
this city without properly and securely
tying or fastening such animal or animals
SO as TO prevent their running away, shall
be deemed guilty of an offense and on
conviction thereof shall be punished by
fine Of not less than one dollar nor
more than five dollars, besides the costs
of prosecution" Now that law is plain
enough; there can be no misunderstood,
ing of its meaning. Why is it not en-
forced2 Should an unhitched team run
away and kill some person, its owner or
driver could be indicted for manslaugh-
ter, but the officers who allow such things
to be, in the face of law so plain as that
would be far from free of blame. We
have many wholesome laws both on our
statute book and in our city charter
which would prove very beneficial to the
public if they were more rigidly enforc-
ed, but none of them are of more import
ance, and at the same time more openly
violated than the one above quoted. The
city council should by special resolution
instruct the marshal and all other officers
having police powers to promptly prose-
cute each and every violation thereof
which comes under their notice. In such
case the matter of run-aways would soon
be thing of the past, and it would again
be safe for ladies and children to venture
out upon the street.
