l was an only child, and an idol

decided to accept q commission, and

ate army, his first thought was to
provide q safe retreat for my mother

so father felt safe in leaving US there
with some of our Oldest and most
trusted servants. The long and cruel
struggle passed but We. in our seclu-
sion, did not suffer, and were anx-
ious only for father. The wal ended
very differently from what was ex-
pected by u leaders, but father was
very philosophical in his views. and
II the freeing of the slaves did make
MN comparatively a poor man, he
cheerfully made the best of it. He
had some property invested at the
North, which yielded a good living
income. and he decided not to return
to Louisiana, a. he could not run his
sugar plantation without his serv-
ants. So we remained in Virginia,
and improved the place, and made
1t q beau iful home. A company of
northern capitalists bought the sugar
plantation. and u city home, which
survived the dissertations of war, was
also sold for q good sum, and this in |
crease of capital put upon the VIRGIN. |

Of a board of university regents and
render man given to such methods
comparatively unfit for so important
and delicate a trust as that of one of
the representatives of the state of
Wisconsin in the management of
the affairs of its university. That
requires broad views, a generous
liberation of difference by others,
and capacity to deal with men by
reason and not by brute force But
Mr.. Keyes is member af the board.
He does not like DIR. Bascom. He
takes advantage of little local ex-
element on the part of the worst of
the saloon.keepers in Madison, their
attorneys and some politicians, to
try to drive DR. Bascom from the
position of president of the univer-
sity.
1t is not worth the while to argue
the weakness of the grounds of com
plant or the absurdity of expecting
to find man fit to be president, who
will be willing to so emasculate him
self as to take no interest in the To-
cal affairs of the town in which he
lives. The people cannot afford to
be patient with such conduct by
regent. 1t is reckless trifing with
one of the highest interests of the
state by man appointed to be its
Guardian There is no reason fo be-
lieve that the board of regents will
listen to such charges as a ground
of action of any kind. From all
parts of the state there should come
such protest against this foolish
ness, that even NJ. Reyes will see
his mistake.
The State Journal, of course, de-
tends Reyes, but it makes such a
weak plea as to be ridiculous.

the country. But that time has not
yet arrived. A majority of the people
are not yet prepared to meet that
issue fairly and squarely on its mel
its, and will not be until popular
sentiment shall have been educated
up to it. "a Subscriber and many
others are prepared to meet it now,
but they are not in the majority, and
would be overwhelmingly defeated
if they should force the issue in ma
tional politics, or even, in most of
the States, in State politics. 1t
would be simple suicidal for the Re
publican party, or any other party,
to champion principle upon which
the members of the party are seri-
ously divided in sentiment. 1t is
not always wise to push TO the front
our own individual notions of things.
We may know that the principle of
prohibition is right, but we are also
aware that there are thousands and
thousands of intelligent and earnest
men in the Republican party who
think otherwise. A great party,
having specific purposes to accom-
plish, cannot afford to jeopardize its
very existence by inviting disruption
and defeat, and this is precisely
what the Republican party would do
by introducing prohibition into its
national platform. Therefore it
must, as matter of prudence, steer
clear of the rock which would dash
it to pieces and wreck it hopelessly.
In the language of that wise and
good man, Paul the Apostle, the Re
publican party may say, and should
say, All things are lawful unto me,
but all things ale not expedient.' 1t
would, for example, be lawful for
"A Subscriber to cut his own hand
off if he had bad sore upon it, but
would he deem it 'expcdient,' on
that account, to cut off his hand a
the risk of his life?
Let us be reasonable in action as
well as right in conviction. Let us,
in our zeal for objects that we deem
important and good, not oyershoot
the mark by dashing too impetuous-
ly in the face of human nature as it
exists, or by attempting to gather
fruit in the orchard of our hopes be
fore it is ripe"

Life of Matt. II. Carpenter.
BY FRANK A. FLOWER.

This work, less than a year from
the press, has been so we'll received,
as to require already the issuance of
a third edition. In many respects it
is commendable work, and merits
the favor it has met. Throughout
its five hundred odd pages the evil
dence is unmistakable that it was
written more TO praise and glorify
Carpenter than to calmly present
the incidents of his life from which
judgment of his character and worth
should be formed To this charac-
teristio is perhaps largely due the
favor it received; for among the
thousands Of ardent admirers of the
brilliant Carpenter it is none the less
acceptable because of too lavish lau-
dation.
Such sentences as the following
in relation to the "bolt" which de-
feated Carpenters reelection to the
U S, Senate in 1875, might be ex-
cused in a political newspaper arti-
Gle, but are objectionable in a work
pretending to the dignity of historic
biography:
"Day after day, and night after
"night, = = by all the wan
" ton political posings their genius
" could suggest, they invited the
f." democrats to seduce them, or join
with them in some adulterous
" 6ajSon, defantly violating all po-
q" litical and party laws, for the avow-
ED purpose of destroying the lawful
" offspring of their own household
" by begetting something they knew
" to be wholly Legitimate"
Add to these defects the more
serious one OF malignant and I'M
necessary utilization of other hon
ored citizens, whose great crime
was that they autagonized Carpen-
ter's interests, and the serious de-
fects of the work are stated.
The book is published by David
Atwood, Madison, and is mechani-
cally creditable. An excellent steel
engraving of Carpenter forms from

To size up the ore trade here,
we were surprised upon inquiring of
Mr.. Vohs, to learn that one day this
summer he received at his four buy
ing points, Benton, Rewey, Dubuque
and Montfort, twenty-four car loads
of ore, and that this point furnished
the most of it. We, from seeing
the teams continually passing, knew
that he was receiving a great guam
tity, but never guessed that it would
reach so large an amount in one
day.-Montfort Nonitor.

strange looking object was seen

quite chary about handling it, so
with two sticks he cautiously ap-
preached it and deity picked it up
and dropped it into a pasteboard
box. The neighbors were called in
to examine and pronounce as to

claimed to be we'll versed in natural

CAPITAL NOTES.

MADISON, Wis, June 25d, 1884.
The attempt of Reyes to secure the
removal of President Bosom was
the leading matter of public discus
sion last week. This community
seems to be favorable to the move
ment Both daily papers have com
mitted themselves as hostile to the
efforts to compel saloons to respect
the law III relation to Sunday clos
ing, and approve the effort of Keyes
to depose Bascom from the Presi-
dency Of the University in retalia-
ton for his activity in opposition to
saloon supremacy.
1t is hoped that the board of re-
gents will not allow it to go out to
the world that they too are subor-
dinated to the saloonists Of Madi-
son, as would inevitably be the re-
suit II Bascom were removed pur-
suant to the Keyes charges.
The Milwaukee Sentinel takes
correct view of the case and pre-
sents it strongly thus;
Through the state and beyond the
state, the recent noisy announce
meuts that one of the members of
the board Of regents Of the StateUni-
versity has preferred, or was about
to prefer, charges against President
Bascom, looking to his deposition,
have doubtless attracted attention
and perhaps they have awakened
anxiety on the part of friends of the
university. We have too much con
hdence in the average common sense
of the men who compose the board
of regents to believe that they will
take any action to displace, or to
rebuke the president on the charges
that are reported to have been made
by Mr.. Reyes. 1t would be seri-
