author of the Ordinance, that he produced it
after comforting with members Of Congress in
perfect form, as coin is struck of at the mint,
appears absurd IN the light afforded us by the
Journal itself. That DR.. Cutters influence was
important in securing prompt action in July 1887,
cannot be doubted He nowhere says that he
bore with him to Ncw-York the draft of an ordi-
nance; or that he wrote one during the brief
stay that he made in that city. He called on
Members of Congress- presented letters Of intro
duction, and explained that he was there to
purchase large tract Of land on the Ohio. He
very likely expressed desire that the form Of
government should be settled before the purchase
Of lands in order that the pioneers should know
beforehand what kind Of foundation they were
to build on. He himself says: :" AS Congress

EMBROIDERIES.

We have just received from st. Gall,
Switzerland, a line of handsome embroid-
cries, the order for which was placed
several months ago. You will find in
this lot some most beautiful goods at ex-
tremely low prices. Our embroidery
stock was quite complete and well as
sorted before, and since this addition
thereto, we feel we ought to be able to
please everybody who may want to buy
embroidery of any kind, especially be-
cause we know they are cheap.

IT is one of the weaknesses of human
native that people are anxious to throw
the responsibility for detestably bad
weather on some one whom they can
abuse. Just now the weather prophet
who predicted an open winter stands in
danger Of being mobbed if he had the
hardihood to reveal himself. But proph-
cts never materialize except when they
can say II told you So" When SILVER
ing humanity crawls out of bed in tenn
perature lowering about the "twenties
below" there is little of the milk OF hui
man kindness about, and the innocent
and truthful thermometer comes in for
sundry objurgatory remarks unless pet
cat or stove which husbands its heat
with too great degree of economy, be-
comes the recipient of virtuous wrath.
When the wind sticks to the west for
fully two weeks with diabolical persis-
tence bringing artic cold on its wings, it
is only natural that the muskrat which
failed to build his nest in fitting form for
such extreme weather should be an OBJ
ject OF unkind remark.
But it is pleasing to know that all
signs have not failed. The goose-bone
has been true to prophetic inspiration.
The goose-bone showed as early as
October that the winter would be mild
until Christmas had passed after which
sit would be just hell" The goose-bone
has been little unfortunate in its selec-
ton OF term to describe the nature of
the weather. It is wholly unlike the
preconceived orthodox notion of hell.
Indeed it would be materially improved
by little infusion of the temperature OF
that region. But it is those who read
the goose-bone who are responsible fol
the inaccuracy of the language. The
goose-bone has told the truth and here
after should be looked up to as the only
| reliable presager of weather In the
meantime those who have prepared little
scraps of poesy on spring arc requested
to forward them to The Chronicle. The
Pilot will receive nothing on the season
but good "mouth-filling oaths" which
may be applied to this weather.

Tom BARRETT of Menominee, who had

Ton BARRETT of Menominee, who had
suit before the circuit court for this
county last week, was one of the local
marvels in mathematics while attending
district school in this county some
years ago. Tom could see his way
through the intricacies of problem with
intuitive quickness and was the terror of
teachers who could not solve difficult
problem at sight. In the first school
Judge Kirwa1 taught he had Tom for a
pupil and they were just of the same age.
Later, the writer tackled the same back
woods school and Tom was on hand as a
pupil with consuming appetite to solve
difficult problems and without much
conjunction to test the capacity of his
teacher. A certificate was no evidence of
ability to teach that school. "Can you
figure well enough to teach Barrett?'
was the question put to applicants.
There was a mania in the locality for
figuring" as it was called. At spelling
schools local celebrities challenged the
teacher to an intellectual combat In 'fg-
uring" and unless he showed grit and
ability "to down" all competitors the
sooner he Cancelled his contract the bet
ter. II he accepted all challenges and
became victor he enjoyed great honor.
When Judge Kirwan became superin-
tendent of schools he was barely 81, and
the movement to put him In that position
originated in that town in which a few
years before he had won reputation by
showing he could teach Barrett and his
associates who were stimulated by the
distinction Barrett enjoyed. The victory
was by no means an easy one for Kirwan,
who was then boy, and when his term
closed, every one was enthusiastic In his
praise; but few knew how closely he was
pushed to maintain his leadership.
A man then in middle life name Malon-
ey, who lived in the neighborhood, was
usually held in reserve to crush those
who had the good fortune to worst the
boys in mathematics. When it is under
stood that Maloney was leader in a com
munity numbering men who had know
ledge of ali mathematical branches, and it
must be said of little else, and who could
perform operations in multiplication men,
tally, using as a multiplier numbers con-
sisting of three digits, it will readily be
seen that maioney was no insignificant OPP
ponent. Fortunately for Kirwan the readi-
ness with which he solved problems for
the big boys" and his facile speech
frightened Maloney off and he tacitly &C
knowledged the young school-master his
superior. Maloney's whole time was given
to what he called reading" text books
on mathematics. He had no knowledge
of any other subject and neglected his
farm in his passion for solving problems.
These "reminiscences were recalled by
seeing Tom Barrett on the witness stand
last week and noticing that peculiar
gathering Of the eyebrows while under
cross-examination, which was marked
characteristic of his when wrestling with
a problem. He quit this county some
years ago and has since been engaged in
numbering.

Tie month of January is the mooth

this the case in first class Dry Goods

FRANK LINCoLN's "lecture" last night
was bizarre collection, story tell
ing in character, burlesque, buffoonery,
pantomime, general nonsense and one
grain Of sense in which he ridiculed the
agonized form of singing now prevailing.
He is handsome man, has remarkably
sweet and flexible voice, versatility in
imitation, wonderful power of facial
transformation and is inimitable in MINI
icry. He made his audience laugh, and
as that was what they came there for,
most of them were pleased. But the
thing should not be denominated leo
ture. It was an exhibition Of quaint dis
tortion of feature amounting to complete
disguise, faithful imitation and really
amusing. and bundle of things so ST.
premely ridiculous as to "crack the cheek
of laughter" though the person who
thus INDUCED himself felt a eualm at
being so silly.
At Mr.. Lincoln's request vocal and
an instrumental piece were introduced to
give him an opportunity to rest. Both
were among the most enjoyable features
OF the entertainment. The either duet
was revelation to many of the sweet
ness OF that little instrument.
