THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Raum was interviewed in Chicago few
days ago and gave the following as his
opinion regarding the political outlook:
81 was down in Maine..for short time,
and took hand in the fight there |
think the Republican party will be vic
torious there though the contest will be
very close. 1t is impossible to make any
reliable estimate of the final vote, but the
general opinion among Republicans is
that they will carry the state by about
5000 majority" Concerning the cam
paign in Pennsylvania he said he thought
that the regular Republican ticket would
win. He continued: "The other party
have no chance. They have shown that
they are implacable, and will not come to
any reasonable term of settlement, nor
does it seem that they desire an arrange
ment of the difficulties Though still
protesting Republican principles, they
are doing their best to ruin the party in
that state, and are not now regarded as
Republicans. They will not get any con-
siderable support, and it now seems as if
their detection from the ranks will not
take as many votes from the regular tick
ct as will elect the Democratic ticket.
In Illinois there is no doubt but that
the Republicans will carry the state. [
think the Prohibition party have given
up the fight. LIDO not hear of them do
ing anything now. At the National Pro-
hibition Convention, lately held here, the
Iowa and several other delegations refus-
ed to support the scheme for the organic
alton of third party, and that weakened
them They feel very much discouraged
about that, and do not think they will
now take any measures to put ticket of
their own in the field. [ do not think
there will be any third party to the con
test here. The labor troubles are being
gradually settled, and that element will
not enter into the contest in this State.
| see nothing to defeat the Republican
ticket in this state"

II. S. DURAND, of Racine, sold recent
" to Cornelius Easthope, Esq, of Niles,
Ohio, fourteen head of young Jersey
heifers and one bull from his celebrated
herd at "Wyuka Stock Farm" just south
of the College. Although the prices are
not made public the aggregate sum
reaches into the thousands. This is pro-
badly the largest sale of Jerseys ever
made in America from any one farm or
private herd and bred by the seller. As
is well known throughout the country,
the "Wyuka herd of Jersey cattle" have
taken more premiums at state and couu-
ty fairs in the west than were awarded to
any other herd or breeders in the United
States, and good judges have often pro-
nounced the stock superior as whole to
any other private herd in America. 1t is
quite mplimentary to Wisconsin cattle
breeders when their blooded stock find
ready purchasers from eastern farmers.

WHAT THE ANCIENTS BELIEVED

Arrian, who fourished about the mid
die of she second century of the Chris
tan era, was Of a skeptical frame OF
mind, and had wholesome distrust OF
the evidence of eye-witnesses. He ridi-
culed the old stories about ants that dug
up gold and grifins that guarded the
precious metals and declared that none
were to be found in those parts of India
that were visited by Alexander and his
officers. He describes, howe yer, a learn
ed or rather musical elephant, which
cheat upon cymbal which was tied to
his trunk against the others between his
forelegs alternately, the rest of the ele-
plants moved round him as in a dance,
and lifted up or bowed their bodies as fit
ly and justly as the measure and reason
of the sound seemed to require, or as he
who played upon the instrument direct
ed" He also speaks, though from hear
sy of an elephant dying of grief because
it had killed its keeper in a moment of
frenzy. Nearchus, it seems, had protest
ed that lie once saw the skin of a tiger,
and that the natives averred that the ami
NAL, when alive, was as big as a full
grown horse, and further, that it would
leap upon an elephant, and strangle it.
Ttereupon Arrian remarks that those he
saw were like speckled wolves, only a lit
tie larger, so that he never saw tiger al
all, but only leopard.-AW the Yea,

TEMPERANCE CANDIDATE.

The independent Temperance party OF

Elkhorn last Thursday G. nj. Blackman,
of Whitewater, as a candidate for Con-
gress. Mr.. Williams, the Republican
nominee, being a consistent temperance
man this action on the part of the tenn
perance people only shows that they are
determined to organize if possible a third
party. The movement inaugurated at
Elkhorn can have no effect upon the can
yass in this district, only as showing the

The project of reducing the time of
passage from this country to Europe by
means of daily line of steamships from
q point on the east coast of New Found
land to Galway, Ireland, and rail connec-
tiorrfrom the termini with New York on
this side and London on the other, is
again revived. A company has been
formed with Norvin A. Green as Presi-
dent, and work is said to have begun on
seventy mile rail link in Nova Scotia.
The projectors claim that the time from
New York to London will be reduced at
least two days and possibly four, the
ocean voyage being cut down to l $40
miles. But for the present the old routes
will be taken, as the opening of the new
one is not promised before 1886 or 1887.
A GoLD-PLATED GEYsER.-Last year
F. j. Haynes, the Fargo photographer,
visited the Yellowstone National Park
and secured from the Government the ex-
elusive right to establish the National
Art Studio. He located the ground ten
acres, and the plot was recorded by the
custodian of the park The ground Sc
lected is in the heart of the geyser basin,
and is very beautiful spot While pho
tograpning last fall he discovered one gey
ser that spouts gold; that is, by holding
piece of any kind of metal in the gey-
ser during eruption the article becomes
plated with durable thickness of gold.

THE WISCONSIN SENATORS.

Both our Senators were caught in Mil
waukee the other day by Sentinel re-
porter. As that paper has sharply criti-
cized the Harbor and River Bill, the re-
port Of the interview is worth noticing
The reporter says;
Senator Sawyer arrived in Milwaukee
yesterday. He said that there was
nothing to tell about the late session that
had not been told. Senator Cameron
talked with reporter for the La Crosse
Chronicle. He said of the River and
Harbor bill: 81 thought the bill ought
to pass. There are in fact practically no
Objectionable features. The total of items
that ought to be stricken out will not
amount to per cent of the bill. Even
"Goose Greek" and the other Jersey
streams, that the opponents of the meas
IRE lay SO much stress on, are in some
Gas es arms of the sea, leading up to con

siderable towns, and navigable by coast
ing vessels. After the bill passed. con-
tinues the Senator, 81 took little pains
to preserve the newspapers of a number
OF leading cities in order TO compare the
editorials on the subject. Philadelphia
papers, for an example thought the ar-
preparation for Philadelphia harbor very
iudicious one, only FAR too small, and con-
demned the balance of the bill. New
York papers thought the He'll Gate item
good as far as it went, but the bill gener-
ally very Objectionable. So with the
Boston papers, and like port papers. Mil
waukee has an appropriation OF 100000
for harbor of refuge and also an item for
general harbor work. The newspapers
approved these except that they were too
small, but condemned the balance of the
bill. All the smaller lake ports of Wis
consin were very eager for harbor appro-
priations and followed the lead of the
Milwaukee Citizens Association in pass
ing resolutions ofapprobation of their par
ticular items, though none got as much
as they wanted. 1.-THE people of Wiscon-
SIM" said the Senator in conclusion,
"don't want these various improvements,
they can do their senators no greater
kindness than to signify the fact. 1t will
relieve us from one of our hardest duties

The New York correspondent of the

The New York correspondent of the
Troy Times writes as follows: "Organists
and choirs are hired by the year, and.the
latter usually begins in May. During
the present season of closing, however,
a number of improvements will be made,
and when the churches reopen, more
than one congregation will he gratifed by
the change Some churches, however,
ale hardly holding their own in this i'm
portant speciality. There was time, for
instance, when St. Stephens ranked all
other Roman Catholic Churches in music,
but such is not the case at present The
fact is, st. Stephens is in debt, and econ
omy has been necessary. The erganist
has been reduced to $50, and other items
have been cut down, but of course this
can only be done at the expense of musi-
cal excellence. Churches are generally
| disposed to economize in music, and each
has fixed sum appropriated to this pur-
pose, which is often too small to encour-
age high order of excellence. st. Thorn
as which is now the most elite of all the
Episcopal churches, is not AS noted for
its music as Grace, whose organist is the
! well-known Professor Warren. His dis.
tinction in the profession insures him a
liberal salary t$1 ,500), and in addition
to this he has large number of pupils
Warren probably makes more than any
other organist in the city, and his income
is estimated at $4,000. He has an assist
ant and also a well-trained choir, and
the eclectric method enables him to play
on two organs at the same time, the one
being in the "loft' and the other near
the pulpit. This adds much to the full
ness of that volume ofmusic which so ad
mirably fills the church.
'It is said that, crowded as the profes
sion may be, there are not more than g
score of first class organlsts in this city
The competition, however, has reduces
salaries, whose average is not more than
| 500 year. To this are added the fees
obtained for instruction, which vary from
so cents to SIS per lesson. Organ teachers
prefer that their pupils should be good
pianists, after which they may practice
on cabinet organs, and then they are plac.
ed at the church organ. The organist
has additional perquisites, the fee at fun.
eral being generally $25, while each O.
the quartette expects $40 on. the same oc
casion. If a solo be employed for addi
tional effect, the fee will be the same as
that of the organist. There are chuaches
however, where the fees are on much
| more expensive scale.'
