The Losses on the Chippewa.

Eugene Shaw, general manager Of the Daniel
Shaw Lumber company Of Eau Claire, Wis,
has written q letter to Mr. Henry Reed of Du-
buque in regard to the food, in which he says;
We have come out on top of twenty seven
feet of water, five feet more than June, 1880
We haven't lost log on the river, and ou1
Dells dam is as solid as rock The loss
on the river will reach $1,Oo0,oo0 about
100000 to the railroads, 100000 to
the cities Of Eau Claire and Chippe-
wa Falls, $4,000 to all lumber interests
on the river and $3.50, 600 to individuals Our
company didn't lose slab, and I estimate our
loss in time and by wetting at $1,000. Think
it will delay us one week The greatest loss
was sustained by poor people, including farm
ers, but none of them will suffer for food or
clothing: The lumbermen are fortunate for
once. Our beoms were 100 per cent. stronger
than in 1880, and we know how to get ready fc1

va are gone, half Of which belonged to the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. Very
few of the mills will start again this fall, as
many Of them had already stopped.

They Begin wrong.

A great many young mel fall to win
the wives they covet because they con-
duet their courtship in the wrong way.
The only plan they know of to express
their affection and matrimonial inten-
tions is to bounce at the object of their
affection, and kiss, or try to kiss her,
squeeze her hand, or steal an arm
about her waist. Now, girls who are
bright, know very well that imprldence
expresses itself in the same way. A
girl with any self.esteem cannot be
Wiling that any man should thus estab.
fish right to her lips and her fingers.
And it will be such pleasure to "put
down /" what she must feel to be pre-
sumption of her favor, without warrant
from herself, that she will think of
nothing else. Compliments and admir-
ing glances, all sorts of delicate atten-
tions, have great power to win NO
mans heart; hut if she is worth having
premature attempts at caresses will not
only offend her, but will actually inspire
her with dislike for a man she might
have loved dearly, if he had not at once
presumed too much, and caused her to
doubt his respect before she had the
slightest assurance of his affection
