In a pasture on the farm of A. T..
SWeet, some ten or twelve miles
northeast of Madison, after the heavy
rain storm of two weeks ago, in lit
tie ponds of water which had fallen,
were thousands of young fish about
one inch in length There is no
way of accounting for their presence
there except upon the theorv that
they rained down. Previous to the
rain-storm the pasture was as dry as
a parlor floor, and there are no wat
ers inhabited by fish nearer than
Waterloo Creek, which is two miles
distance If they rained down, as
they undoubtedly did, how were
they raised up into the clouds? Who
can enlighten us?

pie, and arouses antipathies, which
render him unavailable as a candi-
date. There are editors so constitut
ed that they sail smoothly along with
all currents, never finding it their
duty TO buffet the popular stream;
such are sometimes thought Of by

class, and the fact we do not regret.
The other gentlemen named by
the Rep,tblicda e Odserrer are S. w.
Reese, Archibald Campbell, VIM. G.
Metfert, O. u. Underwood, J. III.
Vivian and j. w. Rcwcy. What
ground it has for doing so we know
not. Individual merits we are not
inclined to discuss, but that the Re-
publican Southern district OF Iowa
county has the greater claim, If
locality is to be considered, is in
disputable. That it will be recog-
nized however, we have little hope.
Indications are not wanting, that
the northern district of Iowa county
and the county of Richland will
combine to nominate candidate
favorable to plan of redistricting
that will deprive Iowa county of full
representation under the next appor-
tionment, or possibly redistricting
the county so rs to make the south
ern district Democratic or doubtful.
IF such is the determination, they
having the power, can determine the
nomination accordingly, and we of
the southern district can't help it.
But we hope our people will enter
a vigorous protest against 1t by
sending united delegation to sup
port some man heartily opposed to
the scheme. Having done that, we
shall not be responsible for results,
and may with the better grace pre-
sent our cause to the Legislature.

The other evening as we "wan.
dered weak and weary, dreaming
dreams no editor ever dared to
dream BEFORE" and racking our
brain for locals, we were tapped
lightly ~lpon the shoulder, and on
turning around, common sized
onion was thrust under our very
nose. L. was too dark to sec it, but
we knew what is was just the same,
and we had a cold, too.
The onion was neither exceeding
ly large, or uncommonly small; just
such an onion as small boy would
choose to throw at an unoffending
passer by.
We saw nothing peculiar about
this particular onion 1t looked just
like any other onion looks, it smelled
like any other onion smells, Tin fact,
n little smeller,) and because of this
our brain was puzzled to account for
the strange action on the part CT our
"onionatic" friend. After giving us
the benefit Of the onions beautiful
aroma for some time, he said "let us
sit down upon those Steps for
minutes" and onion in hand he start
ed icr tie steps, and 80 followed.
As we SAID before, 1t was rather
dark, and but for the onion, should
have had some difficulty in finding
the stairs.
Our friend just held this onion
behind him, and said, "follow me-"
Here was chance for local.

our people are right In looking for.
ward to the future with the most
sapguins antieipations.

AS q result Of his present visit to
California Mr.. Charles Nordhof is
impressed with the idea that this
State, above all others, 10 adapted
for small farms. When our people
dismiss the idea of enormous plan.
tations and devote themselves to
the thorough cultivation of moder-
ate sized tracts, the full capabili.
ties of this section will be realiz ed.
This is q view We have often Ia
bored to impress upon our people
and upon new oomers, and we are
glad to flnd it.reinforoed by an in.
telligent observer from abroad.
The fact is that twenty
acres thoroughly cultivated are
ample for the energies Of
an ordinary man. OF course, here
and there, men of irrepressible and
indomitable will, like Mr.. L. J.
Rose, and q half q dozen other men
In this county whom we could
name, can be found who have
transmitted their energy to EN-.
ployes and built up great and prof.
liable estates. But we can assure
Mr.. Nordhoff that wonderful pro.
gress has been made in This whole.
some direction since his visit here
nine years ago. While there are
still enormous ranches In
single hands In California the
tendency for years past has
been towards their subdivision,
and tho impulse Is ascslerstlng
every day. The southern portion
Of Los Angeles county and portions
Of the San Gabriel valley, have
been the scenes Of remarkably sue
oessful applications Of Mr.. Nord.
hofl's theory. Riverside, In San
Bsrnardino county, is also . case
In point. During the next decade
ws have no doubt but that . dozen
equally successful experiments will
be chronicled In our. immediate
neigh borhood.

now In tho full tide OF success. Our
distinguished French visitors, after
having been shown over New York

talities Of Governors Island by

joysd . pleasant sail up the Hud-
son, an inspection OF West Point
and q formal reception by the Sen.
ate OF the United States at WASH

ever consecrated by the disinter.
ested and noble vslor of their an.
ssstors. With them are the de-
scendants of Baron Steuben, the
German whose splendid achieve.
ments in our Revolutionary war
caused Americans 10 forget the in.
famous Elector of Hesse, whose
trading of his subjects to Great
Britain excited the contempt of the
great Frederick. There are two
curious things about the struggle
which made d . nation. The first
is that the Washington monument
10 not yet completed and the sec
ond that Yorktown has been left
without q fitting commemorative
monument. The recurrence of this
centennial anniversary has aroused
our sfumberlng patriotism; and,
within short time, the shameful
neglect of years will be repaired.
It Ii pleasant to know, also, that of
late years thorough impetus has
been given to the Washington
monument; and that, in q short
time, the Father of his country, in
the city founded by him, will be
fttingly commenorated in granite
and bronze.
