WISCONSIN SWAMP LANDS.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-For number
of years there has been a conflict of Opin-
ion between the Governors of Wisconsin
and railroad companies as to the right of
the latter to claim patents for swamp
lands belonging to the state which hap
pen to be located within the limits of
lands subsequently granted to aid in the
construction of railroads. Governors
Smith and Rusk have regularly refused
to issue patents to the corporations for
the swamp lands, holding that they be-
of the school and drainage funds. Gov.
Rusk had an interview with the Secre-
tary of the Interior to-day, and the two
agreed upon a plan which will settle the
matter finally. Secretary Teller held
that, inasmuch as the title had passed
from the general government to the state,
and the swamp lands had been included
within the limits of grants made to rail
roads, it would be impossible to patent
the swamp lands to STATE without first ac-
quiring the title. The plan agreed upon
is for the Governor to quit-claim the
lands to the United States. The depart
ment can then patent them to the state as
swamp lands and all questions as to the
right of railroad corporations to them will
be set at rest for all time. Gov. Rusk is
not quite clear as to whether he has the
right to quit-claim the lands back TO the
general Government. If it is found that
he has not, the legislature will very
quickly give him the right.

MEMOIRS WEATHER.

H. 6. VennOr makes the following fore
cast of the weather during the summer
of 1882 in his weather bulletin:
/. A season that will merit the desig-
nation of cool to cold and wet, generally.
Not that there will not be terms of sum-
mer warmth and even intense heat for
periods, but rather that these last will
appear in the retrospect as but of COM
parative insignifcance, or as the excep-
tions to the general rule.
2. The season will be marked by not
only great precipitation, but by mug
giness of atmosphere, generally, caused
by the reeking condition of the earth and
the long continuance of cfouded sky.
This will result in periods of extreme sui
triness and heavy weather, during which
the thunder and hail-storms will occur
In other words, the summer will be the
reverse of clear and dry.
There is likelihood of June and
August frosts in Northern, Western and
Southern sections, and general cold
wave may occur toward midsummer.
4. The autumn months will continue
moist. September will probably give
rains and floods in Western Canada and
n western and southern sect ions of the
United States. October will be much
the same, with early cold and snow falls.
November will begin the winter of 1882
ga winter likely to be memorable on
account of its exceptionally heavy snow
falls and very cold weather over the
whole northern hemisphere. That "a
cold and wet summer is invariably fol-
lowed by cold and stormy winter is
truth now so well proven and borne-out
by the testimony of past records that we
cannot lightly put it aside; and if we
have good and sufficient grounds for pre-
dieting the former-as we most assuredly
have at this time-it is but right that we
should warn the people of the latter in
good season.
5. The approaching season will prob
ably be the first of couple Of wet sum-
mers, and as 1882, is so is 1883 likely to
be. But here we must stop for the pres
ent. HENRY G. VENNOR.

The President went to witness the
opera of "Faust" the other night, and
gushing correspondent tells about it in
the following fashion:
Just as the second act was beginning
there was little furry in Senator Jones'
box, on the right hand lower side, and
then the manly form of our beauti-
ful President was seen drawing back coy
ly into the cleaning. Of course it in
spired the singers, and Marguerite be-
came considerably more in love with
Faust after the distinguished arrival.
The President held in his hand a bouquet
of red and white roses, of which he took
an occasional Whit, and at last, Just after
Miss Kellogg had rendered a beautiful
cadenza, when the house was ringing
with applause, he lazily raised himself
together and threw the bouquet at her
feet. OF course she was ecstatically pleas
ed, and bowed and smiled and placed
her hand on her heart, and the President
pulled himself up and looked more ami
mated than he usually does, and the au-
dience grew vociferous.

TOBACCO INTEREsTs.-A Rock County
correspondent of the Milwaukee News &
Republican furnishes the following in
teresting statistics relative to the tobacco
product of Wisconsin:
In all of our large cities in the United
States may be found dealers who have
Wisconsin tobacco for sale, whereas but
a few years ago they all claimed to have
none; although at that time twenty-f
to thirty thousand cases per year was
marketed. Prices then ranged from 5 to
s cents. Present prices run from 8to Is
cents for running crops-that is the en-
tire crop. The present high prices are ac-
counted for partially by the poor crop in
Eastern states, and by the very fine one
raised here. Farmers are now sowing
seed for the new crop, and prospects are
good for an increased acreage. The esti-
mated WELD last year was $4,000 cases of
$50 pounds each, or 15,750,000 pounds,
of which about two-thirds has been sold.
Supposing the average price to be II
cents, this brings into the state the snug
sum Of 81, 1872. 500, nearly all of which is
received in Rock aud Dane counties Ed
gerton is the tobacco market to which the
most of it is taken, where are sixteen
warehouses owned by New York dealers,
St. Louis and others. Stoughton ranks
second and GAINESVILLE third in the amount
shipped.

was driving a pair of old horses attached
to roller. in a field, when from some cause

away, throwing the young man under
the implement. He got up apparently
uninjured, and after time went to the
house, but did not complain of anything
being the matter with him. Howe yer,
about four o'clock he was taken with a
slight hemorrhage of the lungs, which
continued to grow worse, and at ten
o'clock, DR.. Dodge was sent for, who at
once gave his opinion that the man could

The value ofmedicines compounded by
thoroughly educated physician and
scientific chemist must be apparent to all.
As such we take pleasure in commend
ing DR.. j. G. Ayers Cathartic Pills
Public confidence in them has steadily
increased, until now their use can be said
to be universal. Great and permanent
popularity dees not come without great
merit. Our experience convinces us that
Ayers Pills are superior to any others in
all the uses for which a cathartic medi
cine is employed. they are pleasant to
take, and are perfectly safe, sure and eff
ectual. Ayers Pills satisfy all the re-
quirements of reliable family phyac
and their timely use undoubtedly prolongs
many lives and promotes the health and
comfort of thsusands.-NorMern Ohio

a curious event has taken place in the
Bohemian town of Neustadt. Judge Ry-
chlik, Kapelmeister Bauer and a mer-
chant named Kohn met at the room in.
the inn every evening of the past winter,
for social purposes. At one of these
meetings, in merry humor they swore a
common oath to continue this companion
ship in death as well as in life, and to
fulfill the spirit Of their compact, each
took pledge that if one of the brother
food died, he would, within fourteen
days, follow him to the land of shades.
The men being in middle age and in ro-
bust health, it was expected that years
would intervene before the compact
would call for fulfillment; but about six
weeks ago Judge Rychlik died in his
sleep fro1 the fumes of defective coal
stove in his bedroom. Twelve days later,
the merchant Kohn was dead of conges-
ton of the lungs; and the compact was
completed and closed when, terrified by
the fate OF his brothers therein, the Ka-
pe'mester, Bauer, took to his bed and
die on the tenth day after Kohn had fol-
lowed Rychlik.
