AN ADDRESS ON COLD FEET.
By jeff Joslyn"-(Delivered at a
Convention of Benedicts).

My Cherries Comrades and Bull.
dozed Benedicts-I thank you for the
honor conferred upon me In being
elected chairman of this prosecuted
body.
There is nothing in this wide world
that fills married man with such
grismy horror as the approach of the
cold feet season.
Bachelors are not supposed to know
anything about this subject, having
never experienced the awful contact
of the icy feminine pedal throughout
a long and dreary winter, but you
who have survived the annual Attic
ton from year to year can well realize
the misery before us, if some means
are not devised to avert it.
Yes, brother benedicts and fellow
sufferers, the raw September air gives
warning that the dread epidemic will
soon break out in our midst!
We may wall as we will, by day;
"Oh, womaDl In the night time please
Don't let thy feet our warm forms freeze;'
Yet still in the glacial hours of the
night, when We are curled up in
sweet contentment, having successful
ly courted the drOwsy god and dream
ing we have realized a fortune in
stocks and are summing ourselves in
Florida, those cold, clammy ciods of
flesh situated on our wives lower ex-
tremities will come kerplunk against
our backbones, and wake us up with
a cold shiver of fright.
Shuddering brethren! what shall be
done to suppress this growing evil be-
fore another cruel winter is upon us?
Whatever we do must be accom-
plished at once, and there must be
united action.
Shall we strap our better halves
feet to the footboard, make them wear
Arctic overshoes to bed, or lock our
selves up in patent, hermetically-
sealed, sheet-iron night-shirts?
Husbands, fathers and other vas
sails! This is no trifing matter We
have under consideration
Each year the terrible frigldlty is
on the increase, and if its devastating
course is not arrested Its benumbing
influence will be the ruin of our
sexl
We want refrigerators in our sum-
mer kitchen-not in our winter
couches!
Woman has many good qualities,
and far be it from me to sneer at her
general principles but We must either
cut off or thaw out her chillblamed |
hoofs, or else Danish her forever from
our households!
NV frost-bitten friends | am done.
Let us each 60 to our homes with
the firm determination to rig up some
scheme for the roofing out of this
upas-tree of domestic congealment,
and report it to our meeting next
month, when the most feasible plan
will be put to vote and adopted.
Now, in parting, let us drink this
toast: The Female Foot. Its Move
ments Must and Shall Be Restricted,
or the Article Itself in Some Way
Made Red-Hot. Huntington Hawk

Royal Blood sn Wisconsin.

A curious fellow, Charles H. Brown
ing, of Philadelphia, has spent fifteen
years in researches which lead him to
the assertion that 500, people resident
in America are descended from the blood
royal. They are scattered all over the
country, being most numerous in the
south. Prominent among the list appear
the Nicholson family, of Milwaukee, who
derive their royal descent from Lughae-
thir Macon, the 18th king of all Ire
land, through intermarriage with the
MacNichol family of the Isle of Skye.
The Ehle family, of Kenosha, and the
Huntington family, of Freeman, Wis !,
were descended from Ethelred the
Unready, through the Traceys, of Tod
dngton, Worcestershire, Eng. Rey DR..
F. w. Boyd, of Waukesha, is a direct
lineal descendant of Duffus, the seventy
eighth king of the Scots, through his
daughter, the wife of Banquo, thane or
Lochaber. The MacCarthy family, of
Palmyra. are descended from Ed ward /. i,
king of England, through the earls of
Desmond. Francis Longfeld aeCarthy-
Reabhock, of Palmyra, is the hereditary
earl of Carberry. Milacaukee Journal.
Rev. DR.. Boyd, when rector here of
st. PauPs church, used to take great
pride ia showing his genealogical record,
which he had traced with great minute
ness from the time of the patriarchs of
the Old Testament down to the present.

WatertOwn POstmastership.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-"A Con sistent
Republican" in your paper of las5 week
mentions for the postmastership "a man
about whom nothing but good can be
said" 1t strikes me that such a man
would make a better clergy or angel,
if you please, than a postmaster. Again;
zone who held many positions of trust
and honor in the gift of our city,"
Worse than that: he is one who is hold
ing at the present time too weU-paid
(for the services requiredD public posi-
tions-w would it not be cruel to ask him
to resign these and thus open the way
for some other more deserving democrat.
"Always ia the front ranks of any
movement etc, says GA Consistent
Republican," provided, that some one
else has formed the franks" and that it
appears to be the largest crowd and a
popular movement. Finally, has but
one "msn of integrity, of ability, OF
business capacity in the entire commu
nifty any claims which GA Consistent
Republican" would respectP while there is
number of such "great and good men"
and probably more deserving of public
or political favor. A DEMOCRAT.

Last Wednesday forenoon, Mrs
Christian Harneck, of the First ward
met with painful accident by falling
down the cellarway in the store of job,
Habheggar on Third street. She was
doing some shopping, and, not noticing
the opening, stepped sr backed into il
and fell to the cellar floor, breaking two
ribs on the left side and receiving other
injuries. She was carried to her home
and received medical attendance from
Drs. Moulding and Whyte. At Mrs
Harneck's age, 55 years, the accident
may we'll be regarded as quite serious,
but she is doing nicely and there is now
a fair prospect of her recovery.

strongly to certain parties who are now
being closely watched.
Steps are being taken to extend the

Proposed ReapporttOnn. emit.

There is slight agitation going on
looking towards re-apportionment of
the Congressional districts of this state
by the coming legislature. The scheme
is proposed in order that the Republicans
may duly prepare for 1886, which will
be an "of year" in politics. As the
districts are at present the Republicans
two years from now would have no
assurance of being able to carry seven
out of the nine districts. There is
another consideration that actuates the
movement. There ia a great variance ia
the population of the present districts.
For instance, the Second numbers
30, 429 and the Ninth 43,76O. One
change proposed is to make the second
district comprise Jefferson, Dodge, Wash
ington, WAukesha, Ozaukee and She
boygan. This it is considered would
work adyantageouslv to A. K. Delaney
by setting him out from within reach of
Gen. Bragg. 1t is proposed to give up
Fond du Lac to the Sixth district and
taking from it Columbia and Adams.
This plan would relegate Gen. Bragg to
the shades of Republican district and
help Delaney in his revenge on the
doughty general. Then it is suggested
to look after "Joe" Rankin for the bene
fit of Smith, of APPLETON, .Guenther's late
opponent. This could be done it is
thought by making district of Mantle.
