Bond Matters AQdin.

The boudholders, or those working in
their interest, it is evident are not likely
to get any legislation through this winter
such as they desire. The Judiciary com
mittee in the Assembly were unanimous
against reporting bill No. 40 and there
is little doJ-1t like fate awaits all bills
that have been introduced looking to the
same end. We must not, however, sleep
on our posts, but continue to be vigilant
lest some unfriendly legislation pass the
present session. The bondholders might
as well understand one thing, that their
dollar-for-dollar plan for the settlement of
our debt is wholly impracticable and they
will never get any bill through the legis-
lature of this state based upon the "pound
of flesh" theory. The bondholders
and their agents must make up their
minds that they must come to us, or meet
US, on some compromising ground. Then
again, on the other hand, our people may
as we'll realize the fact that this debt has
got to be settled sooner or later, the soon
er the better for the growth and prosper
ity of our city. We believe it is all right
to put off the day of wrath" with only
the Mariner plan left for us to accept
But from this time forward it should be
the aim OF botn sides to beget spirit of
compromise to the end that this debt,
which is believed by our best citizens to
be SO detrimental to the place and in
in the payment of which there are no
doubt many innocent and worthy parties
interested, may be settled.

Ven3IS an the Febp1CtIyU Ska.

Venus Is the morning star. the bright
est and fairest one of the throng that
grace the morning sky. She rises now
three hours before the sun. shining with
the serene radiance that distinguishes her,
and continues to be visible long after the
lesser stars have melted away. On the
10Th, at o'clock in the morning, Venus
reaches her greatest western elongation.
Here her western course ends. The in-
exorable laws that rule her movements
compel her to retrace her steps. 1t is
easy to keep the run Of their paths, espe-
cially in the case of Venus. No planet in
the system presents so many points of in
terest or is SO closely allied to the planet
on which we dwell as Venus. She is
our nearest neighbor except the moon, is
nearly like the earth in dimensions, in
length Of her day and night in the pos
session of an atmosphere and in the prob
able mOu infamous condition of her sur
face. Besides, she gratifes our aesthetic
perceptions by being the most beautiful
star the eye behelds, and she is the only
planet that is visible in the presence of
the MONDAY sun. She is therefore a
most interesting planetary study. Those
who were eye-witnesses of her recent
transit have tangible point from which
to commence observation. They saw for
themselves the inferior conjunction when
Venus passed between the earth and sun,
the transit when passing over the suns
disc, she changed from an evening to
morning star, deserving the suns eastern
side and appearing upon his western side.
Since then she has been moving west
ward rising earlier every morning, pass
ing her period of greatest briliiancy and
turning more of her illuminated surface
toward us.
On the 10Th a change occurs. She is
stationary for few days, and then COM
menCes to make her way back toward the
sun, for she has passed her western elong
alton, one of the four prominent points
in her path. She will move slowly, re-
tracing her steps toward the sun until
che reaches superior conjunction in Sep
TENDER and completes her course as morn
ing star, and completes also half her syn
odic period. Observers, following the
path of the beautiful star, will see that
after elongation she rises later, and that
her bright face perceptibly pales until
she approaches the sun so closely as to be
lost to view in his bright beams. She is
a charming object in the telescope dur
ing tie month, shining as crescent until
elongation, then taking on the lovely as
pect of a halfmoon.-ProUidence Jour

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PUMPKIN AND A SQUASH?-In his new
seed catalogue for 1883, Joseph Harris, of
MCrcton Farm, Rochester, N. Y, says:
"The Postum Nose Pumpkin has all the
vigor and productiveness of the pumpkin
with the dryness, sweetness and long
keeping qualities of the squash"
Can anybody tell the difference be-
tween pumpkin and squashP Scien-
tific botanists are unable to do SO. What
We call squash, is variety of pump
kin; and what we call a pumpkin is a
variety Of squash. Mr.. Harris seems to
claim that his pet Postum Nose is both
pumpkin and squash. 1t is undoubtedly
valuable variety, and is well worthy a
trial. A full account Of it will be found
in Mr.. Harris Seed Catalogue for 1883,
which is sent free to al applicants.

Important JrespaSs Salt.

An important trespass suit has been on
trial in the Jefferson county Circuit Court,
brought from the town of Lake Mills
The case seems to be about like this The
hogs of E. Taylor went upon the premises
of John Young and done some damage
which was assessed by three parties,
agreed upon, by Taylor and Young, at SO.
Taylor was willing to pay this sum but
Young considering this too small sum
would not settle short of $22. Taylor
paid this sum under protest and inasmuch
as he had for some years past, as he
claimed, suffered considerable damage
from visitations of Young's hogs and cat
tie on his premises, he concluded to try
his hand at recovering damages in retail
iation for the bad usage he felt he had
received from his neighbor. Taylor sued
Young for damages running back Eve
years and the case was tried at Waterloo,
Mr., Taylor recovering damages to the
amount of $160. Young appealed the
case and it was before the Circuit Court
this week The defendant during the
trial amended his answer, which taking
the plaintiff by surprise. necessitated q
continuance to the next term, defendant
paying costs of the term

st. TdIe1lti7le's

This is St. Valentines Day of which
on old English magazine speaks as fol-
lows:
The fourteenth is St. Valentines
Day, about which so much has been writ
ten and sung that it is scarcely worth
while to 10 more than mention the fact
that on this day the birds are said to pair
and young lovers to make vows. The
custom of sending love missives has, we
need hardly say, nothing to do with St.
Valentine, blshop!and martyr, after whom
the day IS named. In various countries
1t was kept as a holiday, and in later
times it is still observed as lucky one.
Shakespeare and other poets refer frequent
ly to the observances of st. Valentine.
In Derbyshire and other of our English
counties, some of the old superstitions vet
survive. When young woman wishes
to discover her future husband she goes
into the churchyard on ST. Valentines
Eve, and when the clock strikes midnight
hour she steps lightly and swiftly round
the church, and sings or says, without
paus5 Or hesitation
II SOW hempseed, hempseed SOW:
He that loves me best
Come after me and now"
And presently the figure of her lover is
believed to appear and follow after her.

Improving Wagon Roads.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer,
writing from Campaign, ILL.,, comments
on the above improvement subject, and
furnishes the following information rela-
tive to what is being done in other states.
Just now the the great need is practical
information, for if we should abandon the
old system there is no one who can tell,
except by mere theorizing, just what to
put in it's place He says:
Ohio has law, which in localities
where it has been tried, is claimed to be
efectual in giving them good roads. The
law requires the land on each side of the
road for the distance of two miles to be
assessed, and the fund thus raised is used
in making stone or gravel road. Can
such law be made efectual in this state
with the difference of soil andI the scar
city of stone and gravel is the problem
TO solve.
[ have just been reading an article on
this subject by the auditor of Union coun-
ty, Ohio. He says their gravel roads cost
them from 81, 200 to 81, 800 per mile, ex-
elusive OF bridges, which are built by the
county, all governed by the distance that
gravel has to be hauled In places where
there is no gravel but where stone can be
found, roads can be constructed of crush.
ed rock at cost of little above that Of
gravel. The rock can be loaded on wag
ons at a cost of 80 cents per cubic yard
and AZ cubic yards will make a rod Of
road. A No. ! crusher will crush so Gu
bic yards per day. These are some items
that take from his article, and he claim;
that they are from actual experience.

nings the manufacturing firm of Cornish
& Curtis, Fort Atkinton, have worked up
into big trade, showing what pluck, en-
ergy and fair dealing will do. For a long
time they manufactured the celebrated
Rectangular Churn, solely, but of late
years have added Factory chuIns, Power
Workers and Lever Butter Workers to
their list of manufactured articles for the
dairy. In all parts of the West the goods
manufactured by Cornish & Curtis are in
demand and thoroughly appreciated by
all that use them. It is something for
Jefferson county to have it to say that
the shops of Cornish & Curtis are the
most complete in the Northwest for the
manufacture of dairy goods. Over 20
900 square feet of floor space alone is de-
voted to churns and butter workers.

HOaO to Test IHernn on,eters

A correspondent has contributed to
the Ripon Commonwealth the following
interesting article in regard to thermom-
eters:
The intense cold of the past few days
has developed quite discrepancy in the
reports of different thermometers. This
discrepancy is very likely owing more to
defective instruments than to difference
in location. No thermometer, or very
few, bought in the open market, can GER
tainly be depended on for accuracy; and,
therefore, it is well for every one who
uses an instrument to test it. This can
be done in few minuteS as follows:
The temperature of melting snow is 80
degrees above zero. Therefore, into half
tumbler of water stir fine snow till it
reaches the consistency of what we term
snow broth; if, on immersing the Their
mometer in it, the mercury stands at 90
degrees it is presumably correct through
out. If it is desirable to push the test
still further, immerse the bulb in boiling
water; If the murcury stands at 112 de.
grees then the instrument is certainly cor
rect.
IT. in melting snow, it stands above or
below 81 degrees, the deviation indicates
the amount Of inaccuracy, and this must
be added or subtracted, as the case may
be.
For example: If in this position it
stands at IS degrees, this is degrees too
high, and degrees must always be sub
tracted from its record to get the true tenn
perature. On the other hand, if it stand
in melting snow at % degrees, this is 4
degrees too low, and must always be ad-
ded to its record toget the correct tenn
perature.
