PATHS PICKINGS.

The Chicago News speaking of the
sale Of tickets for the Patti Season, says:
State street in the neighborhood of
Story & Camps music store was packed
with people between and 10 O clock,
who poured into the establishment
named in pursuit of tickets for the Patti
operate seasons in Hayerly's theater
MIR. Mayer, who took care of Bernhardt' S
interest here frowned upon a group of
spectators who were in the front ranks
of the throng. The eomplaisance of
these gentleman disappeared when
they saw the representatives of Mr.
Abbey, who has proved to be a de-
termined enemy of their class in the pro-
fession. No one was permitted to buy
more than ten seats, and repeaters were
dismissed with scant ceremony. The
two ticket-sellers were kept busy as they
could be until the luncheon hour, when
the crowd thinncd out Mr. Mayer
said the sale was all that was expected.
1t was not as large as that in Boston or
Philadelphia, but it was quite equal to
the preliminary business done in Brook
lyr,

Irnnhle brewing.

A Speck not larger than aman' hand
bat capable OF being enlarged TO
threatening dimensions appears 10 tell
of an impending disruption in the stall
wart ranks. Something more than
rumors show growing GOODNESS in the
ranks Of the ardent Conklingites toward
senator Logan ON account of his failure
70 support Lord Roscoe in his balloon
inc adventure of last summer. What
gives more credencc to the story is the
recent expression of Gen. Grant in re-
gard 10 the Fitl John Porter ease. After
tour years General of the army, eight
wears as President of this republic and
nearly an additional decade passed rs 4
private citizen General Grant finally
@ives it as his opinion that Porter's ac-
ton has been entirely miSjudged. The
meat Of this statement absorbs its Bit
ternesS from the fact that it was the
senator from Illinois that defeated the
recent attempt to reinstate General
Porter, by n mastery speech, which
was. at the time, admitted to be I'M
answerable. BY doyetailing the frag-
ments remarkable clear case of cold
shoulder is laid bare, which other point
ers indicate as intensified by the presi-
dental aspirations that are said to float
through the brains Of the swarthy sent
tor from Illinois. Reading between the
lines the last offence is greater than the
first, but as the direct result of any dis
turbance in that quarter will be purer
atmosphere, the party as whole can
view the factious struggling with the
most perfect equanimity.

Opaque Legislation.

The latest kink i'll the much tangled
biennial session muddle is fear that
legislators tins winter may claim $500
instead of $3.50, their usual allowance
So tar there has been found no constitu-
tiopal lawyer Of average or uncommon
brain power who can tell just what the
act does mean, consequently there will be
fat pickings for the members this winter.
1t is strange that the prohibition elc-
ment did not bring this act forward as
an argument in favor Of their peculiar
theory. 1t would have been one of the
strongest they could have found. 1t
may have been that those who drew up
the bill knew what they meant. If SO
they are the only ones convcrsant with
its meaning and they soon forgot

Timely Suggestions.

\ correspondent in another column
presents a few oppurtune suggestions,
in view of the fact cropping out with
startling clcaruess that the present in
eumbant of the bench in the Fifth Judi
cial District is Skillfully laying the wires
to be his own successor. Grant county
will not however be the only county
that will present the names of favorite
sons at the assembling of the nominal
ing convention Notwithstanding the in
spired utterances of quasi Republican
paper, TO the contrary. There WILL it
is 10 be hoped, be an absence also of
any unseemly wrangling in the mat
ter. The sole aim with every true Re
publican should be to secure the nominal
ton of a candidate that can with GER
tainty be elected. 10 matter which
county may be his home
The question at issue, and the only
one. fitness and integrity conceded, is
the one OF availability. This is the
point on which the final CHOICE where
ever it may fall, will be hinged. While
considering this question it might fifty
be urged in favor of Mr. Clementsor
that no man in Grant county possesse,

pull of their coats and see that IN,
usually heavy Republican majority wa,

and the accompanying fact that tn,
vote Of this county largely oycrbal
auces that of all the remaining countic,

due weight when the time arrives {,

of Mr.. ClemcntSon would feel exception
ally well pleased TO see that gentleman
nominated and will rs certainly worl
hard for that end. bu, at the same tim,
would draw no invidious comparison,

A SAD CASE.

man in the West

in the West.
But there was another little incident
which | call to mind. Old Bill Nye, of
Nevada everybody kLows who he was
appointed Sam Clemens and me
school committeeman for our district
Well, we had few Piute young ones,
and one or two white ones, enough to
make nucleus, as Sam said, so we
hired a female teacher. She was con-
| siderable on morals, and | suspect Sam
had intimated that this branch of their
training should not be neglected. 1t
was a pretty barren soil to slow ideas
on, but the teacher was as cute as they
made en-, and she was bound to
please, and perhaps astonish, the COM
mitteemen. So she goes to work and
| stands them up like lot of sticks and
practices moral instruction upon them
| She always ranged them in exactly the
! same order, and, like our colts, the
youngest soon learned to know which
was their particular stall, or standing
port. For boy No. she had always
one question Who made youp OF
course, there was but one answer, and
that was God. There was the alpha
and the omega of that youths moral ac-
! quaintance, SO to speak. Well, boy
| No. wasn't any brighter, and so he
had his question drilled into him, Who
was the strongest man was the ques-
ton, and Samson was the answer.
Boy No 3 was the son of a Piute squaw
and white man. He was dull, and
his ideas was terribly difficult to culti-
waite. So | suppose for that reason the
cob l.. Al
Job was the most patient man. Well,
Sam came down one day to see how
things were progressing at school, The
teacher stood her three particular pu-
pills up in row ON the side of the log
cabin, and, intimating that the COM
mitteeman could pull out slowly on the
catechism and moral instruction invited
him to steam ahead. Boy No. |, mean
time, had complained of faintness, q
sudden feeling no doubt inspired by
Sam awful presence, and the teacher
excused him with the recommendation
that he 60 out in the adjoining 10-acre
lot and lie down in the grass until he
recovered. To boy No. 2 Sam now adj
dressed himself with the leading ques-
ton, Sonny, who made you Sam
son, sir, was the ready reply. The
teacher blushed, and even Sam was
taken aback. Well, my boy, you can
tell me who made you p said Sam to
boy No. 3. Yes, sir; job Why,
there must be some little mistake here,
calculated Sam in an undertone. Then
back to boy No. he went with Are
you sure, my little man, that Samson
made you p 'Oh, yes, sir, because he
was very strong man Then to boy
No. 3 he put the questions Are You
quite certain Job made you? 'Oh,
yes, piped the Piute cherub, because
Job was very patient man Why,
you little rascals, don't you know God
made you p No, sir. replied the
young Piute, greatly alarmed, the boy
God made is out IN the 10-acre lot kick
ing up his heels and havin' bully time.
This ended Sam efforts at catechizing
and almost completely broke him up as a
school committeeman Told by q Re
toY9lled Pioneer.

A Moderate Request.

The State Historical Society at its re-
cent meeting in Madison decided to pre-
seut a memorial TO the Legislature ask
ing for the erection Of building in
which the treasures of the Society can
pe preserved from danger by fire and
which shall be large enough for proper
display of the rapidly accommodating
stock on hand.
This request is br means nnre ason-
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1882-01-12

The Legislature commenced its last
annual session Wednesday noon.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1882-01-12

In addition to this the society possess
scs list OF files Of the newspapers Of
the state and territory from It's earliest
infancy TO the present time which if
once destroyed could never be replaced
Among other treasures now in the
possession of the society is a collection
OF copper instruments illustrative of the
copper age such as no other association
in the country can boast of while rare
foreign manuscripts and unique literary
-donile bouches round up what is uniyer-
sally admitted on every hand and by
high authorities to be one of the finest
collections Of historical curiosities in the
United States.
In view of that fact, the building
asked for dwindles down from an unnec-
essary outlay of the public funds to a
necessity, which in justice to the public
veal should have been commenced
years ago. 1t is the rule of nature that
treasures of any kind shall be boarded
jealousy and to literary accumulations
does this rule apply with double force,
owing TO the fact that once DESTROYED
they can never be replaced A careful
consideration of the subject win con
vince any investigator that the wants OF
the society are nowise eNhorbitant and
That it should be relieved from It's pres
ent embarrassment in the way proposed
at the earliest possible moment.
