A GOOD SALARY.

Plymouth church Congregational,
in Milwaukee, thirty years ago. was in
point of wealth the strongest in that
city, and its Sabbath congregation
large Some years later, the eongrega.
tlon began to diminish, many leaving
Tor other places of worship; the fall
ing Off was so apparent as to cause
general remark. Among the reasons
for diminished attendance, it is said
was want of sympathy of the congre-
CATION with the pulpit ministrations,
1t so happened that most of the
wealthy members still retained connec-
ton with Plymouth church, and re-
Gently an effort was resolved upon to
bring the church into the public favor
1t enjoyed many years ago. The
hrst movement was to secure a clergy
man of commanding pulpit talent, and
the Rev. DR.. Everest, of Chicago, has
been given a call, at a salary of $1,000
per year.

AN IMPORTANT WILL CASE.

The will of the late Fitch A. Hig-
gins has been before the Probate
Court in this city over two days the
past week, and postponed until next
week for further hearing. Great i'm
portance attaches to the case, because
of the large amount of property to be
disposed of. The property of the es-
tate of the late Mr.. Higgins is said to
be valued at about $4,000. Probably
but few persons were aware of the
large amount of property of which
the deceased was the possessor. He
was one OF the early residents of this
county; he settled on a farm one and
half miles west of this city, snd was
Familiarity known as Deacon Higgins.
He was never known as a speculator,
but prudent, saving and economical
farmer. These qualities probably, to a
great extent, explain his large accumu-
lation of property. The heirs are
three sons and four daughters. The
amount specifically bequeathed in the
will falls considerably short of the to-
tai amount of property, and the ques-
ton arises as to the proper disposal of
the residue. The chief points of diff
ference in the construction of the will
we will not attempt to state at this
stage of proceedings. The case is be-
ing ably presented in the interest of
the several heirs. The administrators
are r. E. Sutherland and G. E Shuart.
Counsel for the administrators, Judge
Van Wyck and S. B. Van Buskirk. At
torneys for the several parties in in
terest, j. Y. Quarles, E. r. Fish and A.
G. Cole.

One of the most strange political as.
poets OF the late election was the
working of two directly opposite in
terests, yet both tending to the same
end. The like of this has seldom &C.
Cured in our political history. The
efforts of the Democratic party and
the prohibitiomsts, although protested.
~ having in view objects distinctly
different, yet they conspired to the
same result. Everywhere, with few
exceptions, the prohibitionists drew
their strength from the Republican
ranks, which directly aided to elect
Democratic candidates, who. without
almost an exception, were Endorsed by
the liquor interests. How MANY Dem
ocratic members have been helped into
Congress by the ill-advised action of
the prohibitionists is not yet clearly
ascertained. 1t will not be charged
that Republican prohibitionists intend.
Ell such to be the outcome of their ac-
ton; they are generally men of moral
convictions and conscientious in their
purposes. That they made mistake
IS the Judgment of great majority of
Republicans; that they are altogether
free from blame cannot be admitted.
Tor they were earnestly forewarned
what the result of their action would
De; that they may be forgiven is the
best that can be said of their wander
ings.

TO CURE A COLD.

A bad cold will run its course Of about
ten days in spite of what may be done for it !,
unless remedial means are employd within
forty-eight hours. Many life will be
spared ny cutting cold short off il the fol-
lowing manner: On the first day there is an
unpleasant sensation of chillinss. The
moment you observe this, go to yur room,
and keep it at such Temperature as will
entirely prevent this chilly feeling, even if
it requires 100 deg. Fair. Put yolr feet in
hot water half.leg deep, adding lot water
from time to time for quarter ofan hour,
so that the water will be hotter when
you take your feet out than when you
put tham in, then dry thorough, and put
on thick WOODEN stockings for twenty four
hours eat no food, but drink freely of any
warm teas, and at the end of that ime, II
not sooner, the cold will be effectuaIy broken
without medicine.

General p. F. Butler. Govornor ola

General B. F. Butler, Governor elect
of Massachusetts, presented a striking
appearance on the stump during the re-
cent campaign. In full evening dress.
a correspondent writes, with a neat
button-hole bouquet of red and white
pinks, and with snowy necktie and
rubicund face, he advanced to the edge
of the platform, bowling to right and
to left, with his right hand resting
gracefully on his capacious abdomen
and an irdescribable look of pleasure
and dissatisfaction beaming from his
eyes. Two diamonds flashing from his
bosom, and light gold chain with
pendant, were all the jewelry visible.
His upper lip was adorned by a thin
lron-gray mustache, and he wore small
side whiskers of the same hue. His
customary attitude was with his left
hand in his trousers pocket. and the
right used in gesticulating. Whenever
he succeeded in raising a laugh he
turned still redder in the face. and
smacked his lips so heartily that his
double chin shook like a lump of ielly.
He very rarely hesitated, but when he
did he shut one eye, "cocked up the
other, and scratched his bald head Just
behind the ear until success crowned |
his efforts to remember. !

The law of Congress dis
franchised polygamists from the right
of voting, but it appears that potwith-
standing the law polygamists voted
at the late election. The Republicans
in Congress succeeded in keeping Utah
out of the Union as state, but failed
to crush polygamy. When the Demo-
Gratis get control of Congress Utah
will probably be admitted as state,
or no polygamy. Aside from
the gentle population, Utah is intense
ly Democratic, as shown by the recent
election. The addition of Democrat
ic state to the Union will be tempta-
ton too strong for the party to resist.

NO POLITICAL REST.

People who had anticipated a politi-
cal rest after the campaign will be
disappointed. Political agitation is
incident to our form of government,
and for aught that appears is likely
hereafter to be unending. Already
are both political parties canvassing
the availability of candidates for the
next Presidency. The Democratic
party just at present seems almost
hopelessly divided on questions of
financial policy; one division is clamor-
Gus for free trade, the other for pro-
teetion. If this divergence Of senti-
ment is not in some way reconciled
before the national Democratic con.
vention for the nomination of Presi-
dent, serious trouble may be appre-
hended. The Democrats, however.
have this advantage: whichever of
the two divisions of the party comes
out ahead and labels its candidate
Democratic" is quite sure to find the
whole party fall into line. That tails
manic word, Democrat" will be suf-
ficient to unite all the factions of the
party, as usual. The Republicans are
less divided on financial matters. Only
small portion of the party favor
free trade; the great majority favor
the protective policy. Judging from
present indications, the fitness and
availability of candidates for the Presi-
dency will to large extent absorb the
public mind from this time forward to
the fall of 1884. However undesirable
this continued agitation, it is newt
able The seekers for place and power
are sleepless; they rest not day nor
night. Quietloving citizens cannot
retire from the arena of politics to re-
pose for season. The movements of
schemers and plotters need constant
watching; otherwise the reins of
government will be seized by ire
sponsible men. Jefferson wisely said
{ Eternal vigilance is the price of liber- |
5y." Our forefathers adopted for us a |
form of government, the
proper maintaining of which requires
very citizen to be All intelligent poll
ician.

AMOUNT OF PORK FROM 4
RTTSHEL OF GNPN

A farmer obtained a hundred pounds
of pork from seven bushels of corn,
or one pound of pork from four and half
pounds of corn; the grain was ground and
moistened with water before feeding.
Another, by wetting his meal with five
times its weight of hot water, and letting it
stand twelve to eighteen hours before feed
ing, obtained one pound of pork from two
and half pounds of corn. Doubtless differ
ent results would be obtained from different
breeds of swine.

and the immediate calling home of
our Union soldiers, were after all

COUNTY BOARD OF SUPER
VT&OPQ

The Board of Supervisors for Keno
sha County adjourned on Saturday
last, after session of five days. The
usual routine of business was trans
acted, together with other matters re-
lating to the interests of the county.
That perplexing question, what shall
be done with the tromps who have
become so burdensome to the tax-pay-
ers of the county, was duly considered.
The conclusion arrived at was, that
hereafter the tramps shall be set to
work cutting stone; and for this pur-
pose stone in the rough state, as taken
from the quarries, shall be procured,
and tramps put to work shaping the
stone into blocks for building purposes.
BY this means some equivalent NAV be
obtained for the expenses incurred on
account of this troublesome class of
persons.
The subject of new court house,
which has been agitated in past wears.
was not introduced during the sess, y
of the Board. The friends of tina,
measure doubtless believed the in
creased expenses of the county caused
by dealing with tramps was all the
tax the people would bear.
The number of insane persons now in
the asylum near Madison from Keno
sha county is twenty-six. The expense
OF keeping this class of persons during
the year is $1,94996, which is charged
to the county. A part of this amount,
however, will be refunded to the coun-
ty by the friends of the insane.
The amount of State, County and
School taxes levied by the Board of
Supervisors for the year 1882 is as fol-
lows;

County Superintendent salary......... $50 90

The tax for salary Of County School
Superintendent is levied on the towns
alone. The state taxes are higher than
last year, by reason of expense incur
red in the extension of the State Capt.
toll at Madison. The State taxes to be-
levied for the year 1883 will be less
than in former years, as appears from
the Report of the Secretary of State,
referred to in the TELEGRAPH last
week. The increase of the county tax
this year is accounted for, chiefly, by
the expenses incurred under the tramp
law.
