TIE DEAD MARCH.

Tramp, tramp, tramp, in the drunkard'S way
March the feet of a million men; q
lf none shah pity and none shall stay,
Where viii the march they are making end?
The young, the strong and the old are there
In woeful ranks as they hurry past,
With not a moment to think or care
What is the fate. that comes at last.
Tramp, tramp tramp to drunkard's doom,
Out of a boyhood pure and fair,
Over the thoughts of love and home,
Past the check of a mothers PRAYER;
Onward swift to a drG nkardis crime,
Over the plea of wife and child,
Over the hottest ties of time itE
Reason dethroned and soul gone wild.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, till a drunkard's grave
Covers the broken life of shame,
While the spirit j Jesus died to save
Meetsa future we dare not name.
God help us an there's cross to bear,
And work to do for the mighty throng!
God give us strength, till the toll and prayer
Shall end one day in the victoF's song.

Judge Mallory's Decision.


So much discussion has grown out of
Judge Mal1ory's recent decision, at Mil
waukee, on the Mayors authority in the
matter of license, and the public under
standing of the matter has been so con-
fused that Judge Mallory has furnished the
following for publication as the text of the
decision: ''The law having given the Com
mon Council of Milwaukee the discretion
airy power of refusing and revoking IL
censes, the Council cannot confer that pow
er upon the Mayor after the Council may
authorize the Mayor to perform the merely
clerical duty of issuing licenses, but if he
should refuse a license or desire to have
one revoked, the Council would have to de-
cide.o Judge Mallory adds: s'The all-im-
portant distinction is between the granting
of discretionary powers and granting those
which are only ministerial, and twas not
assumed to decide whether it would be bet
ter that the Mayor should exercise such
discretionary powers. That is a question
for the people to determine at the polls and
by the legislature" lelf 3 8a

OSCAR WILDE.

Oscar Wilde has left America
and he must feel a sense of re-
lief to get out of !, country
where he has been treated with
such uniform boerishness. The
press especially has gone out of
its way to ridicule his personal
appearance. II the American
people had read his poems more
and studied his personal pc
cuiiarities less, there would have
been less fun made Of Wilde.
He was a man of liberal educa-
ton, and as poet has a better
command of descriptive lam
guage and handles his versifi-
cation with smoother results
than any American poet living.
His Lies have a forcefulness Of
effect, coupled with a finished
unity Of rythm and cadence not
found in the work of any con-
temporaneous poet except per-
maps SWinburn. Some of his
efforts are purely local, but his
best things will stand. There
are single lines in 1.-THE New
Helen," Charinides" and
"The Burden of Itys' which
would give painter steady en-
ployment for year.

The Joint Memorial Resolu-
ton introduced yesterday by
Senator Mcconnell relative to
the unsurveyed lands OF the
Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany in Nevada will be found.
in full in our regular legislative
report. It asks Congress to
compel the road to survey and
pay taxes Oh its lands or forfeit
the same to the Government.
This resolution will test the
status of the Senate on the rail-
road question and give the peo-
pie of Nevada "A chance to see
how many men in the Legisia-
ture will dare to repudiate the
planks on the G. p. railroad
question inserted in the State
and county plat forms. 1t is now
a generally understood fact that
the Senate is ready to perform
any act Of slavish obligations to
the G.. p. road which the road
demands. It is to be hoped
that this may prove untrue, as
it hardly seems possible that
the gentlemen sent to Carson
by the people all pledged square
ly upon this issue would forget
the solemn obligations due their
constituents. Should the reso-
luton, however, be adopted in
both branches of the Legislature
and be sent to Congress it will
simply be read, drop into its
grave in the pages of the Con-
gressional RecorW and remain
thus en.ombed forever. The
Central Pacific Railroad Conn
pany started out with a capital
of 100000, and in few years
have increased it to three hun
bred millions of dollars. They
have acquired this vast sum
not by reputable business enter
prise, but by a system Of open
robbery of the people, an evasion
of all obligations which could
possibly be evaded and stubborn

The Pleasure of Freezing.

John Humphrey, a Canadian, nearly
froze TO death in a recent storm when
driving homeward from Wallacetown to
Aldborough. He has since then given
this description of his experience TO a
correspondent of the st. Thomas Times:
When he felt no longer able to hold the
reins with any grip he determined to
seek shelter In the first house until well
warmed. His tongue became stiff, then
his arms, sharp chills ran down his back,
and finally it seemed as though his whole
body was being CONCEALED, causing an
almost cessation of the hearts action,
This condition of extreme suffering and
dependency speedily gave place to a
feeling of great warmth, sutfuslng the
system and causing an exhilarating glow.
By this time he had reached house, but
be drove on, thinking that nothing was
now to be feared. The sleigh, instead
of crawling along at a snaips pace APP
peared to glide through the ar with great
swiftness, and the horses fairly few like
pigeons. A sense of exultation filed the
farmers breast as he urged the horses
to a still greater speed, and the woods
on each eide were passed so quickly that
that they became indistiDguishable black
lines. Then the sleigh-bells sounded
fainter and fainter, until the chimes dis
appeared in the distance; the farmer fell
into a delicious slumber, which came
near being that sleep that knows no
waking, and he knew no more until
brought to life under vigorous treat
ment,

from the Evening Wisconsin, January 81
Henry Baetz, secretary of the WIS
oonsin Immigrant Association, to-day
completed his annual report for the year
1882. for submission to the legislature
at the coming session. During the past
year 81. 952 immigrants arrived in Mil
waukee destined for homes In Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Michigan and Iowa, against
a total of 1885 for 1881, an increase of
almost 10000. About one-haH of the
immigrants who arrived during the past
year were Germans and the greater
proportion of them settled on farms IN
Wisconsin.
Of the whole number of immigrants
who arrived IN this city the past year,
81, 75S were destined for this state,
against total of %, 769 in 1881. Dur
ing the five months ending November
Both, there was quite a falling off i'm
migation at this point, which is ac-
counted for from the fact that during
that time there was q decrease of 46, 709
immigrants arriving IN the United States
"a compared with the same time In 1881,
a decrease of 1900 per cent, the de-
crease being almost wholly confined to
Germany. The number of immigrants
who settled III Iowa was very small,
This Is accounted for from the fact that
nearly all DESTROYS of immigrating to
that state go direct from Chicago via the
Northwestern road.
The following table shows the COM
plete number of immigrants arriving
during 1882, their nationalities and
places of destination; the figures do not
include the immigrants who passed
through Milwaukee destined for other
states and territories than those men
