STORY OF \ GREAT CoNPosER.-A good
story is told of Verdi when he was putting
the finishing touches to Il Trovatore. He
was visited in his studyby privileged
friend, for whose opinion as critic he had
the highest respect. He showed him his ii
score and asked him to tN the Anvil Ono
rus on the piano. "What do think of it?'
said Verdi. "Trash," cried the connosseur.
Verdi rubbed his hands and chuckled.
"And of this, and this" he continued,
playing. rubbish" !" replied the candid
friend. The composer rose and embraced
his friend with burst o. joy: "What do
YOU mean by this?" was asked in natural
astonishment. my dear rriend,' respond
ed Verdi; II have been composing Il pop
uar opera. In it 1 determined to please
everybody except the great judges and
should have pleased no cne else, but your
disdain assures me of Success. In three
months II Trovatore will be sung, roareda
and wnistled and barrel.organed all over
Italy," 1t must be confessed that Verdi
understood his work.

REST AWHILE.-You are wearing out the
vital forces faster than there is any need,
and in this way subtracting years from the
sum total of your life. This rush and wor-
ry, day after day this restless anxiety for
something you have not got, is like pebble
stones in machinery they crate and grind
the life out of you. You have useless bur-
dens; throw them off! You have a great
load of useless care; dump it! Pull in the
strings; compact your business; take time
for thought Of better things. Go out in the
air, and let Gods sun shine down upon your
busy head. Stop thinking of business and
profit stop grumbling at adverse providen-
ces. You will probably never see much bet
ter times in this doomed world, and your
most opportune season is now; your hap
piest day is to-day. Calmly do your duty,
and let God take care of his own world. He
is still alive, and is the King. Do not i'm
agine that things will go to everlasting
smash when you disappear from this mortal
stage. DO not fancy that the curse heaven,
in the shape of the vain task of righting up
a disjointed earth, is imposed upon you:
Cease to fret and fume; cease to jump and
worry early and late. The good time is COM
ing, but you can never bring it God can
and will. Take breath, sir; sit down and
rest, and take long breath. Then 60 calm
ly to the tasks of life, and do your work
Well.-Dr. II. Taylor

THERE Is DEATH IN THE CUP.-ln re-
cent letter to Rev. A. Coke Smith as to the
effect Of drunkenness upon the criminal sta
tstics of this State, Hon. J. B. Kershaw,
Judge Of the Fifth Circuit, writesas follows
81 do not consider myself as fully qualified
to give you any statistical information in
relation to the effect of alcoholic drinks upon
society, as manifested in the courts of JUS
tice, as a cause of crime. / have heretofore
kept no record ofthe cases coming under my
observation with view Of this question. |
can, therefore, only answer from a general
impression derived from observation and
experience, both as member of the Bar
and as Judge, with some approximation,
no doubt, to accurate proportion, but with
out the data to verify the statement. l am
able to say that l believe drunkenness to be
the cause, on an average, of not less than
nine-tenths of the crimes of violence now
prevailing among the whites of the State.
In relation to the colored race, other causes
occur more frequently to induce crimes OF
this sort than among the whites. Drunken
ness, too, is nOta very prevalent vice among
the negroes, and hence think that the pro-
portion of crime attributable to that cause is
considerably less than in the case Of the 9TH
erpart of the population.
"While, perhaps, nine-tenths of other
crimes are committed by negroes, homicides
and kindred crimes are more frequently
committed by the other class. have no
doubt that when the other offences, such as
burglary, larceny, and the like, and commit
ted by the whites, they are largely, though
indirectly, attributable to the degrading et-
fects of drunkenness. TO some extent also
this may operate in the same way upon the
other race, but to what extent, in either
case, this is to be considered as a cause Of
crime of the character last mentioned / am
unable to estimate"

GIRLS WHO ARE USEFUL.-The notion
that girls, are too delicate to be useful is
limited to comparatively small part of the
globe. Throughout Asia, Africa and in
large portions even of Europe and Ameri-
ca, there prevails an old belief that they
are born to labor. In Turkestan and on the
Tartar steppes the Kirghese Sultans and
their daughters and princesses, in whose
veins flows the blood of long lines Of kings,
still milk the sheep, cows and goats, and
perform the menal offices of the household,
as the Sanscrit maidens did six thousand
years ago in the same localities. They
cook, take care of the smaller children, make
garments, cure the skins of the wild fowl,
with the feathers on, for caps, spin cotton,
weave cloth and tan leather by means of
sour milk. In this delectable region the
mothers wear rich attire while the daugh-
ter goes in humber weeds, like Cinderella.
If there is piano the mother plays on it in
the front room Of the tent, while the daugh-
ter brews the koumiss, stews the mutton
and broils the camel chops in the back
kitchen. This is the benighted condition
of patriarchal people who adhere to a near
ly obsolete theory of tilial duty. Similar
ideas prevail throughout India, China and
among the native tribes Of Siberia, who
have been driven northward by aggressive
neighbors. The Tungusian girl gathers the
snow, melts it, makes the tea and soup,
sews, and, being skilful in archery helps to
keep the larder supplied with game. The
Yakut and Semovede maidens, and all who
dwell along the Arctic ocean, help in sum-
mer to lay up winter supplies, and in win
ter to perform all necessary domestic duties.
The Abyssinian girl grinds corn in the sim
pie mills in use in that country. The kaffir
girl weaves blankets and draws water. The
girls in the other part of the dark continent
pulverize the grain, weave mats, make
earthern vessels, and are the hatters Of their
tribe. The theories of the tribes and nations
of Asia and Africa are shared by the 1ndi-
ans of North and South America, who com.
pei the young girls to learn the duties and
hardships of life at an early age.-Boston

seg" \ redwood tree, cut in California,
furnished all the timber for the Baptist
church in Santa Rosa, CAL, one of the largest
church edifices in the county. The interi-
or of the building is finished in wood,
there being no plastered walls. Sixty
thousand shingles were made from the tree
after enough was taken for the church. An
other rosewood tree, cut near Murphy's
mills in the same county, about ten years
ago, furnished shingles that required the
constant labor Of two industrious men for
two years before the tree was used up. The
above statements are vouched for as true by
Supervisor r.. j. Proctor, of Santa Rosa.

HANGING MAKES THE MUSCLES RIGID.
1t is strange how little steady pressure on
the wndpipe affects people. OF course it
chokes them, but that is no reason why they
shouldn't be ableto move their limbs. They
seem to lose all control over their muscles
and give right in. | remember a case that
occurred in Brookville, Me-, when | was a
young man. \ woman, the wife of veal
thy sea captain, threw a skein of yarn over
the top of an open door one day, and stick
ing her head through the blight that hung
down, doubled up her knees, so her feet
could not touch and remained in that po-
stiOn until she chOked to death. One would
naturally think that when she became un-
conscious her muscles would relax and al
low her feet to drop to the floor, but such
was not the case. Hanging or choking
seems to make every muscle as rigid as
iron -BOStON EiODP.

Bloomington.

Some notion again favored Bloom
ington for the second time on Memorial
day. This being the second year that
Decoration day was observed in this
place, all were anxious to have the SER
vices properly rendered, and at the
same time that those who came to see
the performance from a distance should
not be Disguised or disappointed. Early
in the day Canal street was filled with
people from all parts of west Grant
people who had near and dear friends
that had been in the army-and had
laid down their lives on the altar of
their country; and they had come to do
honor to the heroic dead.
The Cornet band played tunes that
were appropriate to the occasion. The
boys, dressed in uniform, looked fine,
and added rs much to the occasion, by
their manly and trim appearance as by
their well-timed strains of music. The
choir sang songs appropriate to the
oCCusiOu. lut pIOCcoSiOu was lOl iucu
on Canal street in front of the G.. A. X.
ball, and marched to the grounds south
of the village. where Memorial shaft
was erected on which the names of
nearly all the soldiers who had died in
tie service or since the war, was printed.
This feature of the service is a great
improvement on the last years service
The Grand Army post went through
with its beautiful and atopriate
ritual, which was followed by song from
the choir, when the commander of the
post introduced Hon. A. X. Bushnell,
who in an able and eloquent manner
told the story of the struggle for the
maintainance of the Union; the en-
forcement of the law, and the downfall
of slavery. The captain paid a glowing
tribute to the veteran" who had con-
quered a foe equally as brave, although
battling for the wrong more from edu-
cation and the result of locality as well
as the property interest, which wicked
aud unjust laws had vested in human
beings. Mr.. Bushnell's remarks were
sensible, and well received by our pee
pie After Mr. Bushnelfs remarks was

CassyilIe,

The excursion from Cassyille TO Pic.
tured Rocks and Prairie du Chen last
Friday was decided success. Not
outstanding the rainy weather and
chilly wind about $50 persons a, allied
themselves of the opportunity to have a
boat ride, and enjoy the beautiful
scenery of the Mississippi The excur-
sion left Cassyille about 10 O clock A. NJ.
and returned about 8 O'Clock p. NJ. AL
though the sky was cloudy the spirits of
the picnlckers were bright and sun
shiny. Everybody was in good humor;
the happy laugh, the merry song and
witty story increasing the days enjoy
ment, and "all went merry as a mar
riagc bell The band discoursed
sweet music at frequent intervals; the
birds sang sweetly; the fishes in the
river jumped and frolicked in great
glee; while the gentle patter of the well
come rain contributed its unit towards
making the day one long to be rem EN-
bored.
Mrs. Robinson gave very instructive
temperance lecturein the Baptist church
few nights ago. After the lecture she
organized Good Templars' lodge of
twenty-five members. Her signal sue
cess should encourage other speakers TO
visit Cassville.
Many of our citizens attended the
Decoration exercises at Lancaster, and
report themselves highly pleased with
the exercises, particularly the Grafton
by the Hon. r. NJ La Toilette.
There were three persons baptized
here last Sunday afternoon by Rev. G..
ID. Stevens. Their names are Herman
Schultz, James Bennett and John Can
non. There was a large crowd collected
on the bank of the river to observe the
ceremony.
A little child of Mr.. Young, who lives
in one of the upper stories of the Den
nison house, fell from the high porch
in front of the hotel, a distance of Is
feet, striking on the steps below. 1t
seems wonderful that the little one was
not killed; but he was not, and at this
writing bids fair to recover speedily

DECISION "REvERsED. THE supreme
court has reversed the lower court de-
eision in the case of Christina McLimans
against the city of Lancaster, and re-
manded the same back for a new trial
unless the plaintiff shall remit from the
verdict all damages except for $1,000
and costs. Thirty days are allowed in
which TO file such remittance with the
clerk of the court. Since the announce
ment of the decision little else has been
talked about on the street among tax
payers, and amid the general disgust
and indignation there seems to be a
pretty we'll defined conviction that the
case had best be settled upon the pres
ent basis. 1t will be remembered that
THE HERALD, when the verdict for
80. 900 was obtained, advised settlement
then; but the amateur press, no doubt
with an eye to the main chance, led the
cry for further contest. And further
contest has been had.

COOP TEMpLARIsN = Mrs. NJ. j.
Robinson, of Pepin, closed her labors in
behalf of the Good Templar lodges in
this county this week. Through her
efforts eight lodges have been reorgan-
lied and two new ones, Cassville and
Blue River, instituted, making in all at
the present time twenty working organ
izations. The friends of temperance
feel deeply grateful to Mrs. Robinson
for her earnest work. The semi-annual
convention of the order will meet with
Mt. Hope Lodge at Mt. Hope Thursday
and Friday, June Is and 49, All who
know anything of the generous hospi-
tally of the Mt. Hope people feel thor
oughly assured of most enjoyable
meeting.

DOES ANYTHING PaY?-Some farm
ers are complaining that the price paid
for cream by the creameries does not
pay for milking the cows, and in many
herds the calves are allowed TO remain
with the mothers. as it is figured the
milk pays rs well or better in raising
the young stock than any other way
After the wealth accumulated by the
dairy farmers of Sheboygan and other
counties, and the large number of
creameries established during the past
few years, IT is not strange that the
dairy branch of agriculture should at
last have reached plethora and prices
sink to point where the profits are
slight and precarious. just at present
stock-raising seems to be the branch
most profitable, but how soon the bust
ness will become overdone, leaving the
profits nil, none can say.

music by the band and song by the
choir, which was followed by speech
from Samuel Woodhouse, who, in well
chosen words, eloquently addressed the
assembled throng, and held them SPELL
bound by force of his eloquence. Sam
IS no SLOUGH on the talk when he gets
wound up in the theme upon which he
is speaking. After MIR. Woodhouse was
music and singing, and then Capt. H. F.
ioung, the hero of many hard fought
battle on the Potomac, in the famous
Iron Brigade, told his story in plain but
eloquent words. The old veterans lis
tened to him with rapt attention, for
many of them had been with the captain
in those places ofwhich he so eloouently
told. The old soldiers seem to think
that Capt. Young means all he says and
does in peace or in war.
In War, was never lions rage so fierce:
In Peace, was never gentle lamb more mild .
The captains remarks were followed by
music by the band and song by the
choir, when by command of the post
commander we were dismissed. and all
went away feeling as if they had dis
charged sacred and patriotic duty to
the brave who had fallen in the defense
of their country.
1t is stated on good authority that a
Catholic church and parsonage will be
erected this summer on the lots east of
Z. Bartley's residence. There are nu-
merous Catholic families IN this section.
all OF whom are well-to-do, and if the
church is built it will be of generous
dimensions and one of which we will
have every reason to be proud.
James Sykes, of this place, passed to
his last resting place last Thursday.
The funeral services were held Friday
and were conducted by the GAR. post.
The deceased was born in England in
1916, cmigrated to this country in 1871.
and has resided here eyer since. He
carried musket in the Mexican war.
and again when his country called him,
IN tho great rebellion, he proved his
loyalty to her interests by four years
continual service He was noble
patriot and true friend. Although his
mental faculties of late years have been
somewhat clouded he still retained all
the generous impulses of his youth, and
his death is mourned sincerely BY all
who knew him. w.

The speaker then showed the appro-

day in observance. and with a tender
and eloquent tribute to the dead. closed
his speech amid enthusiastic applause.
