A wonderful spring IN FlorIda.


The finest spring of water l Cver
saw" said passenger from Florida,
sis down in fernando county, on the
gulf side. The land is high and rolling
and not fiat and swampy. as most OF
Florida is, and as most folks think 1t all
is. The Wekowechee River in that
county is twelve miles long, and about
the prettiest stream / ever saw. 1t is
made entirely by one spring, and this
spring is sixty feet in diameter. You
can row boat right into it, but you
can't made boat stay in the center, as
the force of the water rising throws 1t
gently to one side. A small steamer
can navigate the river. whose banks are
high and covered with foliage. This
spring has the purcst water that ever
flowed out of the earth. 1t is seventy
feet to bottom, and you can see dime
down there just as plain rs you can in
glass Of water. In the river YOU can
see fish twenty rods away. Not the
slightest trace Of organic matter can be
found in the spring water. This river
and spring, by the way, have been pur-
chased by two Chicago gentlemen.
They got some 1000 acres of land there
for something like $4,000, and they will
make II fortune out of it, 1t is the most
beautiful spring in America. ~ Chicago

apply to any one Of a hundred men,
taken at random from any part of the
country. The Father of his country"
and his eminent services during the
revolutionary period, are in these later
days scarcely heard mentioned. Most
of our national holidays have lost their
historical significance. They are sim
ply days of recreation and amusement,
having little Or no reference to their
original intent. urlegal holidays are
not educators of the people they do
not serve to make the masses of men
wiser or better. but are often democrat

these days are benevolently and patri-
otically designed, and it is better they
should be perpetuated, and, if possible,
brought more near the idea which led
to their establishment.

One Of the most extensive move
mentS which has yet been made by the
lab0ring class is now in progress. The
lrst day Of May next is designated as
the time for inaugurating eight hours

for the reason it is projected on large
scale. The labor organizations of the
United States and Canada are expected
to be brought into this reform move.
ment. Those who have taken the mat
ter in charge are proceeding with great
precaution, asking each workingmen 8
society throughout the country, who
propose to unite in adopting the plan,
whether they have made or are max
ing any arrangements to stand fast by
the eight hours day plan; if any
have made no provision for possible
consequences, they will not be counted
in and relied upon. 1t is reported the
leaders of the Knights of Labor, an or
ganization numbering 100000 men,
bers, are enlisted in the movement.
AS it regards the regulation of wages,
it proposed as a peaceful measure to
secure from employers consent that the
eight hours working men shall receive
the same rate of wages as now until
the business of the country shall war

The lobbying which is prevalent in

powerful element in shaping lepisla-

COUNTY sUPERINTENDENTs.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS.
A meeting of Wisconsin County
School Superintendent was held at
Madison. commencing on Tuesday last.
The number in attendance was re.
spectacle. Mr.. A. f. Grant, Superin-
tendent Of Kenosha county schools,
was present. If conventions of public
school teachers are important, rs they
unquestionably are, then particularly
is it desirable for superintendent of
schools to confer together in respect
to the interests Of education. This
is progressive age; there is some
thing new to be learned continually in
the science of teaching. The superin-
tendent or teacher who is egotistical
enough to imagine he understands the
whole routine Of instruction, should
be invited to step out and allow some
one who is less positive of his attain
ments to take his place. No live SUI
perintendent or teacher viii be content
to travel in the same rut from year to
year, and, because he gets along smooth
ly, viii pride himself on being in the
ranks of progress. Wisconsin educa.
tors are no doubt up to the standard
of the times, but it would not be
strange If some of them could be much
benefited by casting about and learn
ing what is being done in the educa.
tional world.

F1Tz JOHN PORTER.

The name Of Fitz John Porter has
become familiar to every one. He
was engaged in the first battle Of Bull
Run as an army General. At the
second battle Of Bull Run he refused
to obey the order of his superior officer,
and was not engaged. He was court
martialed and cashiered in 1868 for
disobeyance Of orders. Since which
time his friends in Congress have been
persistent in their efforts to have him
restored, but failed every year. The
question Of his restoration is mostly a
political one; his Democratic friends
think he should be forgiven. The bill
to relieve him of his disability passed
the House on Thursday last by d vote
Of III to 113. Gen. Bragg, of this
state, became terribly excited during
the decision on Thursday, throwing
himself into defiant hostile attitudes,
The fate of the bill in the Senate is
uncertain. The chances are it will ulti.
mately prevail. 1t is a matter Of his
tory that bills have been presented in
Congress which at first were regarded
unworthy of support, but by being
pressed year after year have at last
been passed. Such has been the legis-
lative history in this state. Bills have
been introduced which were deemed
absurd, but, being urged during num-
Der Of sessions, finally prevailed.
Cases might be cited.
