Ignored by all mankind, in every vo-
cation of life, he tried to get even

Bile servant. Should we suffer for the

| be set down on because the world will
not stand up for him? Must we be

sents but q small amount OF the navi-
cation which will follow when the
Federal Government has made the

WISCONSIN and other rivers, 10 which
it is now engaged. But while the
Mississippi has 1851 navigable TO
