complete and beautiful does everything
seem, that one would almost imagine
the old mansion to be perfection. Some
Of the able statesmen, who have view
to providing for the comfort of future
Presidents, urge grave objections to
certain features of the white house, and
unite with some Of the present and
past occupants in complaining that the
President is the only resident in the
country in private or official life who
cannot retire into the privacy of a
house where the public are excluded
and the sanctity of home observed.
This is SO marked defect in the white
house, so public are its corridors and
vast apartments, and so constantly is
| it open to the inspection of visitors,
that the opinion is very generally ex-
pressed that in future the white house
will be converted into the executive
department rather than the residence
Of the President, and that, like cabinet
officials and others, his public Office
his reception rooms and his official sur
roundings shall be separate and dis
tinct from his private residence. Yet
it is doubtful whether public senti
ment will ever allow the Executive tt
separate himself from the historic
shades which surround the present
mansion with its memories of nearly ;
score of Presidents.

NORTHERY WISC0TaTN.

Northern Wisconsin, from reliable
statements, is more rapidly i'm proving
this season than any other paft of the
state. Bayf ED, on Lake Superior, has
had an addition of three hundred new
buildings the present season. A party
who a few days ago accompanied
Governor Rusk on tour of observation
in that portion of the state, found
new and fourishing villages sDringing
up on the new railroadelines. where a
year ago there were only wild woods.
Among these new villages are Hay
ward, Cable, Drummond, Pratt, Mason
and Washburn, all having substantial
growth. The lands are represented as
admirably adapted to the raising of
wheat, as was proven wherever there
was clearing of the woods ami wheat
had been sown. 1t of course takes
time and much labor to improve a
heavy timbered country, but there are
those who are sanguine in the belief
that northern Wisconsin, although
hitherto much neglected, will ultimate
ly become the most desirable portion
of the state.

WONDERFUL FEAT.

A statement is published in The pa
pers of a wonderful feat of 6 farmer
at Carrolltown, Missouri, in substance
as follows: Mr.. S. Lawton invited fifty
OF his neighbors to see him convert
wheat into bread. A reaper was placed
at one corner Of field of standing
wheat. At a given signal the reaper
started; men stationed along the line
gathered the grain as fast as it fell and
rushed with it to the thrashe7. At the
end Of a minute and a half a peck of
wheat was in the sack and re shed to
the mill: minute and seyent cen sec
onds later the flour was delivered to
Mrs. LaWton; in three minutes and
two seconds from the starting of the
reaper the first griddle cake WIS ready
to be eaten. Mr.. Lawton performed
a similar feat two years ago, but ii
then took eight and a quarter minutes
