RAILROAD Shows.
| This Egreat and best of all shows will ex-
hibit' at Kenosha on Tuesday, Sept. %, and
promises to be the greatest exhibition of its
| colossal kind ever given. While we, as Jour-
nalists, are not in the habit of bestowinr
praise on shows or exhibitiong of any class.
yet in this instance we feel ii incumbent up-
on US to diverge from our established rule
and speak of the merits Of S. H. Barrett &
Co. s tented wonders. This we do in Justice.
and in the same feeling which prompts us
always to do the right-to laud the deserving
and to expose the unworthy. We know that
in this instance we speak of a management
that conducts the largest show in the United
States in manner so as to please the most
fastidious of either sex, and to surprise the
most stoical The great collection of worlds
wonders which these gentlemen rs. H. Bar
ret & Co. bring with them stands unrivaled
in the history of the show world. Their
Menagerie, for instance, contains 100 cages
of living wild animals; their Deep Sea
Aquarium has numberless monsters of the
briny deep their Aviary has most stipend
Gus collection of thirds. In o word, there are
more birds, beasts and reptiles (mammoth
and mite) than are to be found in any ten
shows in the world. Their arenic exercise,
in which $50 star performers take part, is
the climax of astounding perfection. We re-
peat that, as a whole. it is unequaled in the
world. No one can afford to miss it. 1t will
be here, remember, on Tuesday, Sept. %.

An M. D. calling on a patient found
out he had left his medicine at home,
but having along some sugar pellets

me in mind of a doctor on board a

to how it was profitable in this life and |
in the future life. Bodily exercise" J

Although women are not invested
with the right of suffrage, they can
make their influence felt on the side
of law and order. On trial for il
legal liquor selling at st. Joseph,
Mich, on Friday last, seventy-fve
women marched in a body to the court
house, showing themselves on the
side of the enforcement of right. A
like number of men probably would
not have been found for such pur-
pose; they would have been afraid of
losing votes.

The Republicans of Maine won their
great victory by making protection of
American industries the prominent
issue. The national platform Of the
Republican party was satisfactory to
the people of Maine, and the national
Democratic platform not satisfactory !;
hence the result. This national issue
is precisely the same in Wisconsin.

The Democratic party was made joy
full when that widely.circulated jour
nal, Harper's Weekly declared for
Cleveland upon his nomination at
Chicago, and repudiated Blaine. But
ever since the New York Independent
abandoned Cleveland, H0gper'S Weekly
has ignored him, although it continues
to abuse Blaine. 1t was too much of
a somersault for that paper to for
sake Cleveland and support Blaine,
therefore it thinks to conciliate its old
Republican readers by back-out from
the support of Cleveland and continu-
ing the war on Blaine. That course of
action will never restore Harper's
Weekly to the confidence it once en-
joyed.

The nomination of Mr.. Caswell for

by the people Of the district. The press
speak we'll OF him, expressing satisfac.
ton; his moral character is above re-

they have in times past, that mans

land, have been promulglting new
code Of morals, which teaches that
purity of private life is not of much
account in estimating a mans fitness
for high public Office.

Storm reports continue to come from
Northwestern Wisconsin, showing that the
cyclone of Tuesday of last week was the
most widespread of any which ever visited
that section. Roads are blocked by fallen
trees and settlements are SO scattered that
full reports are not likely to be received
very soon. Seven lives were lost and over
fifty persons injured, and between $500, 900
and 81 100000 loss can be SET down as
some of the terrible results.

Saw no starry jewels shine:
Found no face In all the faces
Save the one so close to mine.

Never, never watzed before.
Though a thousand light. were streaming
On thousand faces fair,
Still thought | must be dreaming
With my lips so near thy hair.
Yet thrilled at every quiver

And / knew, all love, / never,
Never, never waltzed before.

Where these lilacs lean to kiss us,
And the tender stars above.

Never waltzed or loved before.

That grew little too high,
Though | stood on tiptoe to reach it,
When heard him passing by.
He held in his hand a lily,
He stopped and gave ii to me,
But thought OF the rosebud hanging
High up on the trellls tree.
So only took 1t a moment
And pressed its petals apart,
Inhaling one breath Of the fragrance
That lay in its golden heart.
Then gave 1t back again, saying:
"Look there, where my neghbor stands
Waiting for just such plaything
To hold in her dainty hands."i
He turned and went from me slowly,
Like one who silently grieves,
And all the green path behind him
Was strewn with white lily leaves.

Telegrams in Paris.

Card kilograms are much in use in
Paris. There are two kinds of them
one like the ordinary postal card in
form and color, and the other blue
and capable of being so closed as to
conceal the writing. They are each
large enough to contain a message of
fully sixty words. When card is
dropped into the card telegram box of
the nearest telegraph Office the official
in charge picks it up and has it trans
mitted through one of the pneumatic
tubes which extend all over the city,
thus insuring its delivery at the place
to which it is addressed in less than
half an hour from the time it was
'pOsted."

A BORN GENIUS.

"a very nice baby, indeed, my dear;
does you credit-he does really.
There, nurse cover up his dear little
tootsies, and take him away. | hope,
my love, he'll have health and good
looks, and-what's that? genius. Oh,
no-oh dear, no! You don't know
what it is be the mother of genius; l
do. l remember the time when my
Augustus was just such another pink,
gurgling little bundle as the one that
has just left us. That was in his iuno-
cent days. But he grew older, as boys
willard girls too, for the matter of
that, poor things!-and when he arriv-
ed at what should have been years of
discretion he startled me one day with
the news that he meant to be an author.
Such n career, my love! and our family
had always been most respectable
ironm ongers from generation to gen.
eratiOn-Amen!
"'What's to become of the business,
Augustus?' / asked.
oh, the business may 90 to the
opposition shop said he; and so it did,
every bolt and nail of it. What does
iron weigh against poetry?'
{" well, if you ask me, Augustus,
should say iron was the more substan-
tial of the two, and though you deride
your mothers opinion, as it's the fash
ion for young men to do, still know
that iron would fill your pocket and
your stomach sooner than poetry
But, auntie,' began my niece
Mary, who was in the room at the
time-Q knew which side she was 90
ing to take; she and Augustus were as
good as engaged to each other)-'But,
auntie, think how glorious it must be
to write bookn
Don't you be little fool, my
dear / said: Its my opinion that
more people write books than read
them nowadays; and if things 90 on
like this, the subscribers to library
will be paid instead of having to pay
money
"But a poet, auntie-surely there
are very few pOetsP'
land no wonder, my dear, when
modern advanced thought leaves us so
little to be poetical about. What is to
rhyme with Glove" if "Heaven above
is mythp Where is the romance of
death if there is to be no reunion? 1t
must be a very peculiar mind that
could find poetry in our ancestors, the
monkeys.
But of course my opinion went for
nothing. Augustus was determined
to 90 to London to try his fortune as
an author. Mary aided and abetted
him, though it would separate them
for time. So off he went, instead of
being content with iron, and a poets
corner in our local newspaper.
