COMPLETED. The new building
put up this summer by NJ. J. Minor
is completed and will be opened for
business this evening. Without
hesitation, it is pronounced the most
elegant place of business in South
western Wisconsin. To give a
thorough description that would con-
vey clearly how it looks is almost
impossible; one must see it to fully
appreciate. The woodwork within
is all finished in oil, including the
floor, and the walls and ceiling are
so attractively decorated with paper
that the eye can find agreeable and
prolonged employment i'll viewing
what skilled hands can accomplish.
Without, the front presents an attrac-
tive appearance, being of cut white
sand stone, with mammoth plate
glass windows, while the work of
the carpenter and painter is in full
harmony. To the mechanics en-
ployed on this building-Mr. Crrbis,
as mason, Ellery 81 Son, Carpenters,
and Weidenfeller IL Son, painters
much credit is due, and which tits
believed they are receiving from
every one who looks through the
building. OF course it is generally
known that it has been built and
fitted up expressly for saloon, but
"Badge" proposes and is determined
to conduct it in keeping with Its
grandeur trst-class in every partic
ular and a credit to the town--and
his ability to do so is conceded by
all.

of Mr.. Barden and his wife, his

two little girls, who are neices, were
discovered prostrate on the floor and
in great agony. DIR. Jackson was
called, and soon discovered that it
was a case of poisoning, which
would have proved fatal had relief
been little longer delayed. 1t
seems that the family had eaten cake

vanilla, which, as is of occasional

We, therefore demand thai the impo-

be made not for revenue only. but that
10 raising the requisite revenues for the
government, such duties shall be - levied

Against the so-called economical sys-
tenn OF the Democratic party, which
would degrade our labor 10 the foreign

The Democratic party has failed com
pletely to relieve the people Of the bur

reduction of the surplus. The Repubii-
can party pledges Itself 10 correct the in
CAPABILITIES of the tariff, and to reduce the

ton, but by such m,thod- as will relieve

IL WASHINGTON Blaine. until BE-
went to Augusta the other day. drove
out every afternoon in a plain double
barouche, drawn by a pain pair ofhorses,
in plain harness, with a plain looking
darky in a rather shabby non1escript suit
on the box. Blaine himself i not a
splendid-iooking man 10 a carriage. lie
sits rather limpy in a corner, dressed in
an ordinary dark colored business suit.
wearing a rather old-fashioned tall hat.
His complexion looks like that Of the
sacred elephant, and his hair aud close
cropped beard are white a. the hawthorne
buds. He looks like an every day re-
tired bank President with some irrita-
ting disease. Blaine ha- to be excited 70
look big. But Mrs. Blaine looks most
imposing when she is not excited She
is a large woman, who sits bolt upright
in her corner Of the carriage, with her
usual scornful smile on her face. Her
face is a strong one. Her features are
large and are so disposed "a 10 convey a
sense Of pOwer. They always wear the
same proud, contemptuous expression.
Mrs. Blame has as many enemies in
Washington as Mr. Blaine has friends.
Washington would be sorry to see her in
the White House. The Blaines live in
a comfortable house on Lafayette Square
about a. large "a their old house on FIT
teenth street. Ii has been the place,
despite all the talk to the contrary, where
all the activities designed TO nominate
Blaine have had their start. Blaine has
been working hard ever since 1880 to
bring about his " nomination.
Logan is really Mrs. Logan, as you
know. He is Just a big voice and a stub
born will, and a great deal of animal
courage black, as to a heavy shade OF
hair aud a heavy mustache and as to a
heavy suit of old fashioned broadcioth.
Mrs. Logan is his mind, and a very fine
mind she is a handsome woman, with
gray hair and bright eyes, who loves her
husband dearly, calls him darling" in
public, and works day and night TO help
him upward. She has more friends in
Washington than the whole Blaine family
put together, and her friends cannot tind
words for their praise. Mr.. and Mrs.
Logan live in the second story of a board
ing house on Twelfth street, and it speaks
volumes for them that their fellow-board-
ers are all for Logan. They are censured
for not taking a handsome house and
entertaining lavishly; but they have
learned that they that take the hand
some house shall perish by the handsome
house. Besides, they don't need to.
,Irs. Logan makes enough OF friends
without it.

may be fairly expected to clear up many

These are fair samples OF many Of the
changes that will be made. The aim of
the translators has been to reproduce the
meaning of the original as closely and
accurately as possible. 1t is pleasant
10 know that this object will be attain
ed without affecting any of the great
doTmatic statements contained in the
