WONDERFUL WISCONSIN.

Lucky PrOspectOr Unearthing Dia-
mOnd, Comedians, Topaz, Garnet and
Other Precious Stones From Her Hills
7. b. Boynton, of this city, SAYS a Mn
waukee special, who is digging for dia-
mOnds near Waukesha, Wis, found two
in the gravel strata this week. One of the
stones was a splendid specimen, but the
other was an i'm perfect capitalization, and
is what is known as 'sort" diamond.
After the gravel had been penetrated
hard pan was struck, and he experienced
trouble with water. This week he will
sink a shaft three feet lower, and expects
to strike the diamond depository.
At the depth of 80 feet the diggers came
upon piece of timber, evidently tama-
rack, in a splendidly preserved condition.
1t must have been in its present bed for
thousands of years. 1t was not in the
least petrified. In the upper strata OF
gravel Boynton found quantities Of topaz
stones, malachites, sardonyX, chrysOltes,
comedians and pieces of garnet. The
specimens are very fine.
Such crowds have been attracted to the
spot that he has been obliged to build a
high fence around the entire claim to keep
them away, thousands coming from the
surrOundinging country in one day. He
is operating on what is known as the
Kettle range of hills. They are mainly in
Waukesha county, extending semi-cir-
cularly about 100 miles, with a small spur
IN Racine county. The range enclOses a
gravel float. which must have swept

Ingenious Talent Among Mexicans.

There is much ingenious talent, says
Mexican letter, among the Mexican peO-
pie. A friend of mine. who is an official
on the Mexican National Railway, was
asked the other day by an Indian boy in
Acambaro how to calculate the difference
between the area Of the outside and inside
of a cylinder. He said he would not have
been more astOnished if he had been sud
denly hit by a rock on the head. The boy,
who was sixteen years old, said that he
was making an engine, and my friend
went with him and found two complete
engines, one a stationary, with boring
machine attached, and the other minia-
ture Baldwin locomotive, both in perfect
working order. He had made them all
with an cid file and a jackknife. My
friend told Don Eurebio Gonzalez, the
Celaya millionaire manufacturer, who is
a very public spirited man, about him.
He said: 'sSend him to me, and if he can
do one-tenth of what you say will send
him to the United States" The boy went,
and the next day was forwarded to the
United States by express for five years in
the Baldwin. locomotive works. This for
warding of persons by express is an idea
which VIII probably be considerably util-
lied in the sending of children away to
school. They are weighed and forwarded
at regular express rates, so much
pound, placed in charge Of the express
messenger. 1t is a good way to guard
against persons going astray.

UNSPEAKABLE.

How is truth told?
Not mere sincerity
Uttering verify;

All that the heart knows best,
Feelings within them rest

Truth Is pOe;ical,
Not arithmetical;
Soul language -1ies:
Look not along the ground;
See her. from chains unbound,
Mounting the skies.
Music replies,
When friend communes with friend,

No words suffice.

With mystic melody,

Dangers of MoIdy Bread.


A singular case of poisoning from eat
ing pudding made in part of moldy
bread is reported in the Sanitary Record.
The main facts of the case may be briefly
stated as follows: The principal mater
ials of the pudding consisted of scraps of
bread left from making toast and sand
witches, and they had been about three
weeks accommodating. To these scraps
were added milk, eggs, sugar, currants,
and nutmeg. The whole was baked in a
very slow oven, and was subsequently
eaten by the cook, the proprietor Of the
eating-hOuse in which it was prepared,
the children of the proprietor, and two
other persons. All of these became ylo-
lently i'll, with symptoms of irritant poi
soning. One of the children Gagged three
years and one Of the adults died. The
necrOpsy of the body of the child caused
the medical man TO suspect poisoning.
The analyst was led to look for ergOt in
the pudding, and was soon startled to find
unquestionable evidence of its presence,
as far as the chemical reactions went,
though he was unable, with the aid Of the
microscope, to detect any actual ergot.
From these facts he infers that the reac-
tons hitherto supposed TO be peculiar to
ergot are common to other poisonous
fungi.

STEWARDS BIG sCHENIE.
What He Says About a Railway to the
Argentine Republic.

" hit ne says ABOUT a halfway TO the
Argentine Republic.
In his report to accompany the inter-
national commerce bill, says Washing
ton special to the Houston (Texas) Post.
Mr.. Stewart says; "The idea of building
railway from the United States to the
Argentine Republic is somewhat start
ling to those who have never given the
subject a thought, but a little reflection
will satisfy any one that no insuperable
obstacle is in the way of such an enter
prise. A railroad from some point in
Texas or elsewhere in this country where
connection is formed with the railroad
system of the United States to the CITY of
Mexico, and thence through the Republic
of Mexico and Central America and
along The Isthmus of Darien, pass
ing east of the Andes through South
America to the Argentine Republic, would
meet with but few natural obstacles in
the way of its construction, and the dis
lance viii not exceed $500 miles, and it
may be shortened to 5000 miles BY CON-
mencing its construction at the Civ OF
Mexico, where it will connect with other
roads already built and in process of cen
stTuctiOn. Distance and natural obsta-
cles have never thwarted American enter
prise in the construction of RAILWAYS
Already have several lines ofrailwavs been
constructed across this continent, either
OF which, from ocean to ocean, is more
than 5000 miles in length. While it may
be true tina. a railroad from the United
States to the Argentine Republic is of the
greatest magnitude, yet it is believed the
obstacles to its completion are no more
form ..dab bic thanWere encountered eighteen
or twenty years ago in the cons ruction of
our first transcOntInental line.
When such a railroad is construct
ed our commerce will be enlarged to
such an extent as at this time to defy any
thing like a correct estimate of its value,
and then we will be in a position to say to
the European governments, in the men,
Orable words of President Monroe. that
we should consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system to any por-
ton of this hemisphere as dangerous to
our peace and safety The capi-
tai with which the road is to be built and
operated must be protected by pledged
faith and proper guarantees of all the gov
ernments that may be interested in the
building and maintenance of the colossal
enterprises; and this protection must be
extended at all timeS-in times of war as
well as in peace.
This commission will be charged with
no more important duty than to obtain all
information which may show the feast
billty of constructing such railways with
entire safety to those who NAV invest
their capital in the building and operat-
ing of the same"

At meeting of the greenbackers
of Morgan county, at Versailles, last
Saturday, after a full and free dis
cussion of the matter, the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, that in view of the fact
that the republicans of this county
have refused to combine with the
national greenback party in this
county, we deem it our duty, in case
of persistent refusal, TO adops the
democratic nominees of this county as
our nominees; and if no different ar
engagements are made by the 22d day
of October, 1884, then our county
committee are instructed to have
tickets printed, and distributed, with
our national greenback and state ticket
at Its head, with the democratic county
ticket for Its conclusion, and Mr.. S. G.
Heironymus, our candidate for the
legislature Will be then withdrawn.

THE EXPOSITION.

enjoyable fairs ever witnessed any,
where, together with the earnest re-
quest of scores of citizens and the
desire to give exhibitors a
chance, has decided the as
sociacion to continue the fair
and Tuesday of this week, with the
usual proviso of course that the
weather is favorable.
The exhibition given Thursday in
the presence of ten thousand people, is
a sufficient guarDtee, that the as
sociation, intended so far as within
their power to fully carry out the
magnificent program so carefully
arranged at lavish expense of
money.
The officers and directors of the Fair
Association, have devoted much
time and hard labor, working en-
thuseastically for the success of the
fair with no other hope Of reward,
cave the advancement of the
commercial Importance and material
interest of Pettis county and vicinity.
Let all of our citizens then during the
next two days, rally to the assistance
Of the Fair Association and give the

LESSONS OF THE WEEK.

1t is not the purpose of the writer
to moralize, or sermonize in this brief
article, but the last week has been
one to inculcate many valuable moral
and practical lessons, which will nc
doubt be improved by many. In
the first place the Fair Association has
taught great lesson of what brains
and enterprise together with indom-
Unable energy can accomplish, and
in the faithful manner, with which
they have labored In the face Of all
obstacles. The officials of the Fair
Association with the philosopbic man.
ner in which they have taken the
inevitable, have also taught the
people how to bear disappointment.
1t is not at all probable, however,
that the lessons of disappointment
will ever be thoroughly learned by
the human race.
Many a gray who has fallen a vic
tim to the wiles of the confidence
man, who cen be found wherever a
few people are congregated together
has learned a lesson which will be of
value to him if his small allowance
of brains will enable him to retain it
for a sufficient length of time TO do
any good.
The farmer, the business man and
others, who have suffered at the
hands of pick-pockets, and sneak
thieves, will have the lesson of
carefulness more thoroughly in
culcatedi on their minds, no
donbt to be temporarially forgotten
however until their attendance at
another fair or circus.
Numerous young ladies, have
doubtless become fully convinced of
be shallow ness Of the pockets of
du de and of the general instability
Of that animal.
On the otherhand the dude hes
learned that his button hole boquet
and swell cloths are not a passport
to every place where he intrudes bis
Darwinian nose and the sting of the
substantial boot applied with ringing
force under the coat tail of his Prince
Albert, or what is worse a snub,
which even, dude can understand,
haunts him still.
Many masher..is meditating in the
;eclusion of his own room that while
some girls do act silly, not all of them
are darned fools. He mas had his
ender feelings lacerated and threatens
o forswear society.
Many a maiden a little unsophisti-
'ated, but possessing good common
ense withal, has learned that man,
noble and honest son of toll, is more
o be desired than the contemplate
hing who arrays himself in bread
10th and fine linen at the expense of
ONE one else, and who is seeking the
'osition of son-in-law in some wealthy
amiIy.
Our officers have no doubt learned
many new lessons in the art of {
,eeping up with the tricks
f pick-pockets and thieves and
ringing them to justice, which ON
b other hand our business men and
itizens will adopt additional precau-
ionary measures in guarding their {
premises against the willy thieves.
In short, there are none of us but .
Tho have learned some valuable
essen which it is to be hoped will
e of great value TO US, in our journey
trough life.
