oarnsld on the death OF Ianooin-


On the l4th day Of April, lsG6, Gen. Garfield
then member Of the House Of Representative
was called upon to move the adjournment Of ths
House In commemoration Of the mar,yrdom Of
Lincoln. He then and there made one Of those
speeches which have placed him among the great.
est orators Of the country. Even now lie closing
ut'eranee comes before US, as though prophetic Of
his own fate, and stirring up his fellow. country
men to sense Of what their duty should be a,
such fearful crisis:
''Sir, there are times 10 the history Of men and
nations when they stand near the veil that sepa
rates mortals from tho immortal, time from The
eternity. and men from their God. that they can
almost hear the eeatinss aud feel the quotations Of
the heart Of the Infinite.
Through such . time has this Nation passed.
When two hundred and City thousand brave spirits
passed from the field Of honor, through that thin
VEIL to the presence Of God, and when at last its
parting folds admitted the martyr President 70 the
company OF those dead heroes Of the Republic, the
Nation stood 50 the veil that the whispers Of
God were heard BY the children Of men,
"Awe-strieken BY His voice, the American peo-
pie knelt In fearful reverence and made solemn
covenant with Him and with each other that this
Nation should be saved from its enemies, and. on
the ruins Of slavery and treason, the temples Of
freedom and justice should he built and should
survive forever.
ut remains for Us, consecrated by that great
event, and under \ covenant with God, 20 keen
that faith, to go forward in the great work until Il
shall be completed.
Following the lead Of that great man, aud
ebeying the high behests Of God, let US remember
that
'IIe has sounded forth trumpet that shall never
call retreat;
lie IL sitting out the hearts Of men before Ills judg
ment seat;
lie swim, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant my
feet;
For God Is marching on"

A Curious Summer Sight In the Holy Cross
Region, Colorado.

AoEtous ColOraoo.
Prospectors returning from the Holy Cross coun.
try, and especially from the head Of Cross Creek,
report that the ground Is covered with red snow.
In the almost inaccessible deflcs Of Mount Shas.a
in California, L. the only other known place 10 the
United States where this IL seen. In Polar re-
gions IL Is n familiar sight, and no extensive trav-
elcr there returns without description Of IT, The
broad helds Of everlasting snow that dank the
northern coast Of Greenland are faxed with the
strange blood red, and further toward the poles
miles OF u stretch far the naked can reach
The phenomena Is due 10 the presence Of a mi.
mute red anamalcula in the snow. A microscope
detects its presence, but how IL 60, there IL dbl.
cult question and one that has never been quite
enthusiastically answered. The red snow in this re.
gion Is first seen ut the head Of Cross Creek where
II may be observed in patches Of intense carminc.
varying In area from rs large a. a mans hat TO
twenty feet in diameter. Taken in the hand and
closely examined nothing can be detected that
gives u color, and Il meits into clear red water
leaving no stain.
Further on, in some Of the steep gulches with
which the country abounds, the bottoms are entire
ly covered with the strange substance. In some
places the color is vivid in the extreme. while in
others u fades 10 faint pink, producing an effect
not readily described in words. Old proprietor.
who penetrated the region two years ago. say that
there was no snow OF this description there, and
IL fall can scarcely have anteiated this year
still higher. and at the very foot Of the mountain
the red snow disappears and nothing save the pure
white eoverle; greets the eye. How the same tiny
insects that sent the Boreal can find their way 10
the Inaccessible Holy Cross Is thing beyond hu.
man ken and will be problem for the scientists
OF the future TO ponder over.-LeadriHe Chroaicl,.

snow fall commenced on the goth of
December, and continued, with varia-
bic additions. almost every dav for
twelve days. On the 4th of the present
month the average depth outside the
city limits was twenty-five inches.
The cold for several days was intense
for this favored region, the mercury
ranging from six to eight below zero.
Very many families in the city reside
in houses which afford but an indiffer-
emit protection against such cold wealth.
er, and had it not been for prompt and
liberal donations of fuel and food the
sufferings OF the poor must have been
appalling. Washington residents have
long been in the habit of expatiating
on their mild and pleasant winters;
but just now their praises are with
held.
January is usually the gayest month
Of the year in this city. With the holi-
days commences season Of festive
and pleasureable gatherings of every
description. The piled up banks Of
snow, che icy walks, and other incon-
veniences, especially for pedestrians,
greatly restricted the ordinary round
Of amusements. There has been some
good sleighing here the present winter,
but this has been so uncommon in past
years that very few sleighs or cutters
are found In town. Some ingenious
Yankee, however, has improvised con-
veyances on runners which supply the
temporary want. This is done by tax
ing off the wheels Of carriages and
placing under the axletrees iron
knees, to which are attached slender
runners, made of worn out wagon tire,
or other cheap iron. In this way the
body Of wheel carriage may be Trans
ferred on runners at an expense, not
much, If any, exceeding three dollars.
These novel conveyances have aboand-
ed on all the streets of the city. The
principal livery stables have generally
kept on hand few sleighs and cutters,
although they were seldom in demand.
Their price before this novel contriv-
ance was five dollars an hour, for horse
and cutter, and considerably more for
two horses and sleigh. But since the
new departure in sleigh-riding the
livery stable monopoly has come to an
end. K.

THE SENATORSHTP.

There are probably not half dozen
men in Kenosha county who want to
see Mr.. Keyes elected to the United
States Senate. We only know of two,
viz: E. G. Timme and J. Y. Quarles.
1t is still question in the minds Of
some politicians whether they should
pay any Difference to the popular will
after they are elected. Mr.Quarles will
vote for E. w. Reyes for Senator. Mr..
Quarles' constituents would not. Now
the question is, does Mr.. Quarles know
better than his constituents whom they
want for Senator. We think it would
be wise and proper for a representative
to consult the wishes of his constitu-
ents, as W. 3. Maxwell has done. The
people of Kenosha county do not want
to see a caucus boss and legislative
lobbyist elevated to the Senate of the
United States; and w. s. Maxwell will
not vote for him.

price of the rough fat Of the slaughter
houses and the leaf tallow Of the
butchers shops, and is from one to four
or FIVE cents per pound. The cost of
the manufactured articles is ten to
twelve cents per pound, and it is sold
to consumers at from 25 to 40 cents
per pound. We have no wish to inter
fere with its manufacture, but repre-
senting, as we do. the farmers Of Ke-
nosha county, We demand an effective
law that shall compel the manufactur-
ers and dealers in oleomargarine to
plainly label their product and sell
it for just what it is. To sell a COM
pound of the fat Of beeyes, chemically
treated, for butter. is a base fraud on
those who buy it for butter, and is a
destructive injury to farming interests.
The fats often used are often totally
unfit for human food and destructive
TO health. For this reason the great
public who consume purchased butter
win be found on the side of the farmer.
II oleomargarine Is healthful article
OF food and legitimate food product
there is no reason why it should not be
sold for oleomargarine. To sell it for
butter to the consumer is to deceive
and defraud him. Butter Is a pure
product Of milk and cream and is a
costly article of food. To subject the
producer to competition with product
costing but few cents per pound is q
terrible injustice to the honest producer
and Is ruinous to legitimate dairy
business. 1t is high time the farmers
Of Kenosha county should rise in Their
might and protect themselves from
this fraud and injustice.
