NEVER was there a better time in the
history of Pierce county than now for
the voters to express themselves at
the polls in such way as to leave no
shadow of doubt but that the people
must and will have the most trustwor-
thy men to represent them in respon-
sible positions like that of the office
of County Judge. The people should
not complain Of the election of rail
road monopolists to the United States
senate unless they are willing to CON-
mence the work of publication at home
by electing true and tried men like j.
W. Hancock to Office.

THE joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution
providing for biennial instead of
annual sessions of the Legislature has
passed the legislature of 1880 and 1881
and will be submitted to the people
for ratification or rejection at the
State election next November. The
enemies of this measure generally con-
cede that il will be ratified by the
people, ana the general course pursu-
ed by the present legislature is q
strong argument in favor of biennial
sessions.

ANTI-TREATING Law.

| EDITORS JoURNAL:-As a subject
of interest to your temperance read
ers, as well as dealers in the ardent,
bar-roOm loafers, and politicians who
are in the habit of '.setting up the
drinks for the boys" / send you a
copy of chapter 2o4 laws of 1881 which
is designed to stop the custom of
creating" as follows:
Chapter 204 Laws 1881.
AN ACT to amend section 1856 of the
revised statutes. relating TO the sale
of Intoxicating drinks.
The people of the State Of Wisconsin,
represented in Senate and Assembly,
do enact as follows:
Section /, Section 1856, chapter Go,
of the revised statutes, is hereby
amended by adding after the last word
in said section, rs follows: Any person
VIII shall purchase, pay for or 10y any
devise whatsoever procure any such
liquors or drinks, for or in behalf, of
any person other than himself, to he
drank as beverage by such other per-
son on the premises or in any public
place. shall be deemed guilty of amis-
demeanor, and upon conviction there
of shall he fined not less than five
dollars nor more than ten dollars for
each ofTensc.
Section 2, This act shall take effect

ty OF opinion in relation to this law,
some holding that it will remain a
dead letter on the statute books, 9TH
ers insisting that it will be quite gem
orally observed and enforced, materi-
ally aiding the temperance boom, and
others. viewing it from personal
liberty standpoint, question its con-
stitutionality. Should its friends gem
orally procure its enforcement, the
sales Of liquor will be SO largely de-
creased thereby that the liquor dealers
will be apt to test its constitutional
ity. AS the school of social drinking
and treating makes more drunkards
than are produced by any other cause,
this law will prove AN efficient ally for
temperance reformers in Wisconsin,
if enforced and sustained by the
courts. The Milwaukee politicians
sent on word that this law must not
be passed, and / understand that Gov
ernor Smith was urged to interpose a
veto. The effect of this law on 1.-THE

An Extraordinarr Event.
A JACKSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE,
WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO SEVEN
CItIIpUpN

A JACKSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE,
WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO SEVEN
CHILDREN.
A lew day since the Louisville
COurter-JouTndt contained special
from its Nashville correspondent to the
effect that a woman residing In Jack
son county, of that State, had given
birth 10 seven children at one time
The correspondent since telegraphs
that after the first child was born the
pains of labor continued. An exam
ination convinced the physician that
there were twoiinstead of one, aud the
woman was soon delivered of u second
child, both girls. The physician gave
directions as to the care of both
mother and children and prepared to
take his leave.
Before reaching his house, at the
gate, he was recalled and delivered the
woman of another girl baby. Again
the physician took his leave and again
was recalled, bringing to light another
girl. This was considered remarkable
and the physician was greatly puzzled
over the matter. He, however, con-
graduated the husband on his good
fortune and departed for home. He
had not gone more than half u mile
before he was overtaken by the ex-
cited husband of the woman, who in
breathless haste informed him that
there was still another child to be
born. Fastening back, the physician
arrived in time to aid i'm delivering
IN Of 4, l,;l
In the course of fifteen or twenty
minutes he was called to the bedside
| of the woman, and very soon the
sixth child was breathing the breath
of life, after which the doctor went
home. He was soon again summoned,
mounted his horse and returned to the
home of Mr.. b. He went too late,
however, TO he of any service, as the
seventh child, all girls, was born a
few minutes previous to his arrival.
| The doctor remained about the prem
ises during the rest of the day, but
his services were not again needed.
The gentleman who made the above
statement, and it is almost in his ex-
act words, says he has seen the babies
| several times, and, while not large,
weighing from four to five pounds
each, they appear to be healthy, well
| developed children. The occurrence
has created considerable excitement in
the neighborhood, and the people for
miles around flock to see the woman
| and her babies. The husband is de-
scribed as being of small stature, and
in fact, exceedingly thin, while the
wife is said to be strong and perfectly
healthy. The most singular feature
Of the children is that all of them
have blue eyes;and so closely resemble
each other, that it is hard to tell

Garfield's Grains of Gold.

EXTRACTS AND SENTENCES FROM HIS
SPEECHES AND LETTERS.
A fter the battle of Arms comes the
battle of History.
For the noblest man that lives there
still remains conflict.
L would rather be beaten in Right
than succeed in Wrong.
Present evils always seem greater
than those that never come.
Growth is better than Permanence,
and permanent growth is better than
all.
1t is one of the precious mysteries of
sorrow, that it find solace in unselfish
thought.
Statesmanship consists rather in re-
moving the causes than in furnishing
or evading results.
Ideas are the great warriors of the
world, and war that has no ideas
behind it is simply brutality.
Throughout the whole web of ma
tional existence we trace the golden
threat of human progress toward a
higher and better estate.
Occasion may he the buglc that sum-
mons an army to battle, but the blast
of bugle can never make soldiers or
win victories.
1t is as much the duty of all good
men to protect aud defend the repu-
tations of worthy public servants as
to detect public rascals.
An act of bad faith on the part of
state or municipal corporation, like
poison in the blood, will transmit its
curse to succeeding generations.
If there be one thing upon this
earth that mankind love, and admire
better than another, it is brave man.;
it is a man who dares to look the devil
in the face and tell him he is a devil.
There is scarcely conceivable form
of corruption or public wrong that
does not at least present itself at the
cashiers desk and demand money.
The legislature, therefore, that stands
at the cashiers desk and watches with
argus eye the demand for payment
over the counter is most certain to see
all forms of public rascality.
There is no horizontal qualification
of society in this country like the
rocks in the earth, that holds one class
down below fOrevermOre, and lets
another come to the surface to stay
there forever. Our stratitication is
like the ocean, where every individual
drop is free to move, and where from
lne eleflial ueptns oi Tic HliSuIJ ueep
any drop may come up to glitter on
the highest wave that rolls.
The following is from bis speech to
the Ohio legislature after his election
to the United States Senate, being a
tribute to the character of his compet-
itor, Senator Thurman: II say, more
over, that the flowers that bloom over
the garden wall of party politics are
the sweetest and most fragrant that
bloom in the gardens of this world,
and where we can fairly pluck them
and enjoy their fragrance il is manly
and delightful to do So"
Mr.. Speaker, / know of nothing
more dangerous to u republic than to
put into its midst four millions of
people, stripped of every attribute of
citizenship, robbed of the right of rep
resentation, but bound to pay taxes to
the government. If they can endure
it we can not. The murderer is to be
pitied more than the murdered man;
the robber more than the robbed.
And we who defraud four million
citizens of their rights are injuring
ourselves vastly more than We ale the
black man whom we rob.

On the 9th of June, Mr.. L. Pa!mi-
ter, a resident of Hamilton township,
went into the woods - watch deer
lick, and. not returning his brother
went in. search, thinking perhaps
some misfortune might have befallen
him. Arriving at the lick a most hor-
rifying sight met his gaze. Lying a
few feet apart was the dead and man
gled body of Mr.. Painter and that of
large catamount. 1t was evident
from the surroundings that the strug-
gle for life had been. severe, as the
ground where theta encounter took
place was covered; with blood. The
animal was very large one, measur-
ing five feet and six inches in length
and twenty inches in height. Mr..
Painter was an old and respected
resident of the county, we'll known by
the older citizens who will feel greatly
grieved to learn of;his terrible death.
