PROGRESS.

It is very important in this age Of vast
material progress that a remedy be pleasing
to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, ac-
ceptable to the stomach and healthy in its
nature and effects. Possessing these quail
ties, Syrup of Figs is the one perfect laxa-
tive and most gentle diuretic known.

The richest woma1 in America is d resi-
dent of South America. She is not only the
richest woman in the Americas, but she is
the richest woman in the world. She has
one of the largest fortunes held by either
sex. This woman is Dona Isadora Consino,
of Chill. She is the biggest real estate
owner in Santiago and Valparaiso. South
American fortunes are hard to estimate, but
many people have put hers above O,0OO-
900. Money multiplies fast in her hand,
for her eye is everywhere.

The case of the Florida Man who had lis
love letters read in court not long ago is at
tracing considerable attention-at least the
love letters are. In postscript to one of his
letters he offered to deliver ZOO, 600, 600, 900
kisses to his best girl The Boston Globe
thinks the contract very big one, end it
says: "Whoever will take the trouble to
figure it out will find that even if this am
orous Southerner could give the lady 1000
kisses minute, (and we affirm that no per-
son could hope to d. more than that,) and
even if he could keep up this rate of oscu-
lation twenty-four hours day, never paus-
ing to eat, or sleep or take breath, working
365 days every year, itwould take him more
than 1OG years to complete the contract.
And by that time, it is painful to reflect, the
ardor Of his love may have cooled. Even
at the end of 100 years, counting $4,000
kisses minute; there would remain an un-
delivered balance of 100000, 900, 900, num-
ber which in itself might appall the most

of the season was the Rainbow Party
at the residence of Mr.. Moultrie Bag
nal, on last Wednesday evening Rain
bows are Of somewhat ancient origin,
but the social gatherings known as
Rainbow" parties are comparatively
modern affairs. The manner in which
they are conducted is for each young
lady who attends to wear an unhem-
med apron cravats are prepared, of
the same shade as each apron. The
young men draw the cravats, match
shades, and are required to hem the
apron of the young lady whose cravat
they possess. The aprons of the young
ladies OF Wednesday evening were of
the most coquettish patterns imagin-
able, and of many and divers colors.
A vast deal of amusement was had
over the needlework of the embryo
tailors. Their sewing on this occasion
should not be criticised too severely,
however, nor shoald it be taken as a
fair sample of what they can do; fo1
what young man, no matter what his
attainments in that direction, is there
who can use needle gracefully and
well when a pair of bright eyes is
watching every movement? What
wonder is it that hands trembled, ia.
ces flushed and hearts, mayhap, beat
faster? The god of the little arrow got
in some fine work on Wednesday even

work were awarded to Messrs ". T.
Wilder and E. G. Horton, respectively.

prlsing resident of Prairie avenue has made
up a list of the. residents on the three
streets named and handed it to the editor
of this paper. If the residents of those
streets wish to, an arrangement can be
made under which responsible man will
agree to sprinkle Prairie avenue. Park ave-
nue. and Park Place for the sum of twenty
five cents weekly from each house on those
streets 1t is disgrace that the two finest
residence streets of Kenosha should be so
filthy with dust The difficulty seems to
be to get some one to act in the matter.
Isn't there some one with the time and en-
terprise to give the matter little attention.

10 the Editor Of tie Telegraph Courier:
l always had an idea that our al
newspapers (politics aside were inr led
to look after the welfare of the citizens and
to punch up those in authority who neglect
or refuse to assist them in doing SO. Such
being the case, how is it that on the princi-
pal residence streets Of Kenosha we find it
almost impossible to exist owing to the
clouds of dust that not only envelop the
pedestrians all along the line, but pene-
trates into the most guarded corners of our
residences in fact, we live and move and
have our being in a perpetual cloud of
grimy dust; and yet all this discomfort
could be avoided by the payment of the
small sum of % cents weekly by the resi-
dents of such streets as Kenosha, Prairie
Avenue and Park place for the purpose of
having those streets sprinkled as occasion
required. And / am informed they are
willing, nay anxious, to be assessed that
amount for the privilege of getting rid of
such an intolerable nuisance. Now, dear
Mr.. Editor, do please set the ball a-rolling
by inviting the residents of those and other
streets to come forward and state their will
ingness to contribute their Csc. per week to
have the nuisance removed.
Yours, &c, ANTI-DUsT.
Well, this week so far there has been
plenty of rain to keep the dust down, but
the observations made in the foregoing COM
munication are true for the most of the
time. 1t is rather strange that the resi-
dents on such streets as Prairie avenue,
Park avenue and Park Place will tolerate
the clouds of dusts that cover their lawns,
penetrate the houses and settle everywhere
like the Egyptian lice of old, when by the
payment of the paltry sum of twenty five
cents each a week the streets could be kept
sprinkled and cool all the time. An enter
