A New LINE. is currently reported
that the Illinois Central and Wisconsin
Central Railroad Companies have coales-
ced to carry out scheme which is of
considerable importance to marine men.
1t is to establish line of steamers be-
tween Chicago, Green Bay and Ogdens-
burg. 1t is settled that the line will be
composed of the propellers N. l.. Frost,
w. j. Averill, and W. A. Haskell, which
were operated by New York railroad
company last season. They are the larg-
est and finest propsllers ever built for the
Welland Canal trade, but the New York
Company could not hold them because
there is law in New York which pro-
hibits railroad companies owning steam
boats. Last winter the boats were sold
under the hammer, and were bid in oy
the Detroit Dry Dock Company, and
ever since negotiations have been going
on between this company and the two
railroad companies mentioned for their
purchase. Recently, the Wisconsin Cen
trail Railroad has purchased or has sscur-
ed full control of the Green Bay, Winona
and st. Paul Railway; they also have a
through line from Winona to st. Paul
1t is their object to make Green Bay a
great distributing point for Northwestern
wheat and corn, and to do this they want
the steamboats, mentioned.

THE present legislature ia the most ex-


THE present legislature is the most ex-
travagant which ever met in session. 1t
seems to be possessed of mania for
passing appropriations. "Ask and ye
shall receive" guides it in everything
There is no thought of economy. 1t is
a saturnalia Of prodigality in which the
willingness to give exceeds the disposi-
ton to ask. It was understood at the
beginning of the session that a great deal
would be asked for but it was not believ-
ed that all would be granted. But the
compliant legislature gave the hungry
horde to understand that the most inor
dinate appetite might be satisfied and
the treasury has had to suffer. Perhaps
the republican party feels it is going out
of power and has grown reckless in the
matter of expenditure. Perhaps the
democratic party feels the heavier the
appropriations the more dissatisfaction
there will be with the dominant party in
the Legislature and 30 allows extravaganza
to sweep on.

The manufacture of unauthorized
silver half dollars is said to be branch
of business Low carried on with profit.
They are made of the same weight and
tineness as the genuine pieces, and only
differ from them in being the produc-
ton OF private enterprise instead of the
work of the government mint. As is
known, the silver in the half dollars is
less than ne-half the quantity contain
ed in silver dollar; two silver half
dollars contain just as much silver as .
five franc piece. Thus the bullion valus
of two half dollars is at present only
about II cents, and the makers realize 8
profit OF % per cent, less the cost of
coinage, which is but trife. The
counterfeiting of standard dollars in the
same manner would yield about Is per
cent, and is very likely to be executed
on an extensive scale, if some change is
not made in the present coinage laws

TIE great Opera Festival Hall now
being erected in the Exposition Building
in Chicago for the Opera Festival, to
occur April 9Th to 18th, is now so far
completed As to illustrate the fact that il
is beautiful auditorium and as comfort
able and excellent in its arrangements for
seats as it is handsome. Mr.. S. G. Pratt,
the protector and director of the festival,
has carefully tested the acoustic proper
ties of the place and pronounces it as
astonishingly perfect, the slightest sound
being heard from the stage in every part
of tho house. The decorations in the
auditorium are beginning to show and the
curved fronts of the private boxes as also
the front of the dress circle and balcony,

WHEN Beach outrowed Hanlan last
year, people in America could not be-
lieve that the latter was at his best, and
that change of climate and overwork de-
fsated the champion and not the Aus
tralan sculler. But Hanlan has had an
opportunity to become acclimated and
shen test the strength and skill of Beach.
Last month the race came off and Han
Ism was again defeated by six lengths,

THERE is considerable dissatisfaction
expressed with the political preaching
which is said to be feature of the teach
ers at the Oshkosh Normal school, The
Pilot has refrained from making any
comments as it did not know how much
of the criticism might have its origin in
local jealousies, but if reports be true
there certainly should be some investi-
cation made. For instance is it true
that q professor stated the Irish are
democrats because they are ignorant,
that the intelligent portion of the Ger
mans are republican and the uneducated
ones, democratic2 That no intelligent
young man can read and not be a repuo-
icaD2 And that tue people owe gra itude
to no party but the republican? Some
inquiry should be made to determine
whether such sentiments were expressed
in the normal school. The inquiry
should be- demanded by the person
against whom the charge is made if he
he innocent, so that he may be exoner-
ated, and in any event the people should
demand it and if the charge be sustained
let the guilty professor be instantly dis
missed. Until some explanation is made
it would be advisable for students to
seek instruction in some other school
where partisanship does not assume SO
offensive form. Are the charges truea
If so. a young man who seeks to enter
the Oshkosh Normal school should be
asked to name his politics SO that he may
take means to escape insult. Are the
charges untrue? Then let the false i'm
precision be removed by the report of
committee whose words will be entitled
to credit.

ABOUT WALKING.
RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE GAIT,
THE DRESS AND THE PLACE.

Every healthy person, man or woman,
should be a good walker, able at any time
to walk six to twelve miles day at least,
and double that when gradually brought
up to it, says The Herald of HEALTH
The points to be attended to are to see
that the walk is brisk and vigorous, not
of lettering or dangling kind; that there
be some object in the walk besides its
being a routine constitutional-G. e., not
like the staid promenade of the orth odox
ladies school, and, if possible, in pleas
aut company; that there be no tight
clothing, whether for the feet or the body,
which will constrain or impede the natu
raj movements of the limbs and trunk;
and hat the walk be taken as far as pos
sible in the fresh country air. La regard
to this latter particular, although towns
are increasing SO rapidly as to make it
almost journey to go out Of them on
foot, still we have SO many suburban
tramways and railway lines that in few
country where the ar is fresh and pure.
Whenever an opportunity presents
itself for little climbing in the course
of a walk, it should be taken advantage
OF. We gain variety of muscular action,
as well as increase the exertior, and we
get into regions of purer air and fresher
breeze at the same time. What NAV be
considered as the weak point in walking
as q mode OF exercise is the comparative.
ly small play which it gives to the mus.
clss of the shoulders and chest, while if
is still less for those of the arms. This
should be compensated for by the use of
light dumb bells or Indian clubs, or some
other form of exercise which brings in
play the arms and shou ders. One of the
forms of exercise which requires the &C
ton of the muscles of the arms and
shoulders, as we'll as those of the trunk
and legs, is swimming. This, however.
for many reasons, cannot be used as
means of exercise except by few, and
at certain seasons of the year, but where
it is possible it should always be practic
ed. The great pity is that boys and girls
do not learn it. as rule, while at school.
Every large town should be well provided
With swimming baths, and if it could be
made compulsory for scholars at certain
ago, say II, to learn to swim, it would be
a great advantage to all, and also be the
means Of saving many lives.
