Janesville, Wis,, B£ay*0th, W7& . TALK ABOUT WAR. Gertftin parties and puiHlcianjs, who Tiave failed to obtain satisfaction out of the political struggle through Which we have passed, seem to be willing, if we can place any reliance upon what they say, to ihaugur&te, carry on and fiuflfer the pang&*>f another war. So far as we are concerned,' we are willing to see the politicians go to war if they choose to do so, and the more that gets killed in the struggle the better it would suit hs. If a greater number of politicians, and fewer of the "boys in blue'Vhadbeen bulletised during the great Rebellion, the country would have suffered less and would be far more prosperous to-day. We dou't think there are many of tiie old veterans who wish to go to war again, especially to satisfy the glut­ tonous appetite of a few scaliawags, who would see the earth drink up the blood of the innocent, while they sat and looked on with tndiDereace as their couutryinen were laid out upon the battle Held. It has been wisely said, that "the men who are talking fight Were not the men who fought through battles of the last great w»|v" UNKXDUHABLK. The following is abstract from Prof. Deeck's report on the examination of the body of Frauds Grappotte, wht> hung himself in the jail at Watertown. X. Y., after being convicted of murder. It Will be seen that the ca*e was a very complicated one, and if Grapnotte ac­ tually knew what ailed him, it is no wonder that he pulled down bi9 vest and stepped out. "The lining layers of the lateral v#M- tricles. also the third aud fourth veu- tricles, sliowet) an amoloid infiltration. The same, in a lesser degree, was ob­ served in the white layers which pagg from the vrura cereb'a into the corpora striata, aud in the connective tissue of the medulla oblongata aud the pens varlolii between the anterior and the posterior roots of the pneumogastric, the trochlearis and the abducons. The nuclei of the pneuniogastric and the trochlearis were marked by abnormal pigmentary infiltration of their cells. Also the nuclei* of the facialis, the trigeminus, and the anterior nuclei of = BtTCHKRT BY THE RED DEVILS. * Reliable news has been recived at ene the frontier forts, of a terrible mas­ sacre prepetrated in the Big Horn country, as follows: Recently a party of 26 miners started for the Big Horn country, and none have been seen alive s|fcce. Mr. John Sharon, who is perfect­ ly reliable, says that several weeks ago a company of white men were attacked by a band of Sioux, supposed by the trail to have been a very large band, and it is believed on the first volley the miners fled to the brush, which the Indians fired, slien killed their victims. 'Ilie bodies of 18 or 20 men have been identified, and among them were Robert Anderson, James Lysight, D. Davis, ar.d two men named Spencer and Crook--the latter a blacksmith. These men are well known in the Black Hiils. Whether any survived the attack or not the informant does not state, but we are left to infer that M>me escaped. Any further particulars will be forwarded at once. Mr. Sharon sav* that he met Duncan Blair, of Rock Springs, who had just arrived from Owl creek range, prospecting for gulch gold, and he claims to have found dig­ gings that pay #10 a day to the man. He found his old sluce boxes and cabin tliat he deserted several years ago, being driven out by Indians'. An other lesson that the present sttite of aftairs,both political and so­ cial. is teaching, is that punishment must follow crime. It Is nd doubt a groat thing for a nation to forgive and release the man who aimed but just ujpw at its life, but it is unwise and un­ safe; as unwitte and unenfto as it would bIS to pardon every criminal duly con* vlcted and turn them loose again upon society. There has been an immense amount of pauloning done of late, and we much mistake if the fruits of it are not visited upou us in a few years in the shape of a new flood of crime. A pl'omt aud vigorous disposition of trai­ tors would deter »ny general move itgnlu, and an equally prompt and eflective prison regime for convicted felons would do much to lessen the business of the courts. It is currently reported, as this is being written, that Vll,* wmpromise has been effected by the optic-t€tf tit* saitf*/ m. If. l'weeri any fe- pathological conditioil, although in far less -degree.* Accounts from the Black Ilills Indicate that there will be extreme destitution among the gold hunters U>is winter, and, very likely, some cases of actual starvation. A few men have made lucky hits aud brought away gold of considerable value; but these have been exceptional cases, for the majority of those who went into thai region expecting to fiud nuggets at every turn have failed utterly in their expectations, and are now unable eith­ er to. buy feed or get away. How these sire to live through the winter is a mystery, for the season for miuing is over and not one in fifty of them can get employment,- even tvhen the;,* rtre willing to work for only their board. The middle of last month provisions were selling at extravagant prices, flour being worth $10 per hundred, bacon thirty-five cents per pound, and other things in proportion. The coun­ try is overrun with men who are abso­ lutely penniless, and whose only hope for relief lies in getting money from their friends at home. If our army succeeds in driving the hostile Indians out of Montana, and in keeping tli«n out, an Important ad­ dition to the annual gold .product of the country may be expected. It U not generally known how large the production of gold has been in this Territory, where mining has been the chief industrial pursuit of the people since 1862, is which year gold worth $600,000 was taken out, this beiuff fol­ lowed the next year by a yield of #3,- 000.000. Tile greatest product was that of 1865. amounting to #18,000,000. sit^e which the yield has gradualljfedecmised until last year it was on^WM«^0,000. In the early years of ^^ei0iej»t in Montana most of the gold wnf- taken from placers, but as these gave out the gold seekers were compelj&jjj'to resort to the more expensive process of quartz mining, which accounts for the fal l ing off iu production. It is said, howiver, that there are still several portions of the Territory where placer mining could be profitably followed if the miners could be assured that the In­ dians would not molest them. At a time when rivalry was run­ ning high betweeu the Fourth Vermont regiment, commanded by Qrfonel Edwin H. Stoughton, and the fifth Ver­ mont, an extensive revival occured in the division to which they both belong­ ed, One day word was brought to Stoughton that twelve men belonging to the latter had been b;iptize(i» "Orderly." immediately exclaimed the emulous Colonel, let fifteen mow at once be detailed for baptism," gal penalties, and returns the greater part of his thieving?. Can anything but evil grow out of such a bargain? Is it not setting a premium on dishon­ esty of which rascals wlllr.&tbe slow to avail themselves? Does it not say as plain as facts can speak, that one may steal all he.can aud then escape with part by giving up the rCst? The trouble is, men care far too much for the value immediately at stake, and not enough for the principle which alone makes- that value worth having. Without discussing the merits of dif­ ferent methods of punishment it is safe to say that that country cost least in its judicial and punitive departments which has the rustiest pardoning pow- e w. I n dec d, i t is not a t all eê i tai a but tliivt the abrogation of this power en­ tirelywould on the wlicJe work advan­ tage. Men would be more careful to keep out of the hands of the officers of the law, and the courts themselves, in­ stead of being mere law machines turned with a crank would be compell­ ed to take some cognizance of equity-- that is, the common sense ofjustice--as well.--Ejo- #g§f"Sorne excitement was occasioned at Washington, Pa., last week by the cremation of the body of Baron de Palm, carrying out his special request tljyat liis body be burned up instead of being buried. Dr. Le Moyne, a wealthy retired physician of the above named place, has built a furnace, specially designed for creinatory .purposes, intending to have his own body dispos­ ed of in that way when his time comes, ^"he cremation was witnessed by a large number of scientific imm, and occupied about two hours, when the body was reduced to a cinder. This looks like a very expensive, fussy way of getting rid of an old dead body, but every one to his taste, as there is no law against it. It is rather severe on the gravestone men. A LIVELY MOP. ;; Editor Plaindealer?--^Wfeon the fate of two Presidents.is trembling in the scalcs, and the natiou'd pulse Is throbbing with the fever of politics, and the locals are still darting forked tongues ofjtire at the tainted, untaint­ ed and all-around-side of candidates, it looks small business, indeed to tack a dancing slipper on to the scarlet cheeks of a campaign newspaper. Nevertheless, and in delRan.ce of these all absorbing times. Jemmy fLane has gone and built him a thundering big barn, 64x22, or thereabouts, and fol­ lowing the logical sequel of e vents, as day succeeds to night, or marriage to a softeuiug course of kneeling atten­ tions, or a smack to the Infringing kiss; a dance was inevitable. Neither would a yankee barn be purged of evil luck if shorn of this initiative and all necessary ceremony. More than that, the amphibious reporter, liviug near at hand, in a chronic state of leisure was soon attracted to the scene, like his congerer the black bird to a shock of corn. Needless to say he felt as happy as a blinking owl, jammed unobtrusive­ ly in a remote corner, veiled in the t wilight of flickering candles, perched on tall studdings, like beamiBg spirits of departed sweethearts come down to preside over the sighs, prayers and ef­ forts of suviving cotnpauions iu heart distress; From tills vantage corner your re­ porter, armed with twu inches of Faber and a "Doctor Pierce patent medicine memorandum -and account book, de­ signed for farmers, mechanics and all people," wkh an alternate leaf of blank paper and cheerful paragraphs on Catarrh, Bronchitis and bleeding lungs, which we appropriately supplemented with matter about bleediug hearts and love-bound uoses. Armed we say with these two blaud'inipleiuents^ef trade, laughingly Concealed under the velvet folds of a shawl lent tojis for this pur­ pose by the august permission of >\iss Lucy, whose thrilling charms lingered like an aroma iu aforesaid shawl, per- vading'both'hand and pencil witn a warm glow of inspiration, we prepared ourself for a glancing expedition on a rolling sea of white shoulders, lashes, ringlets and complexions, presenting a dazing spectacle, euough to make the eyes of single youths a^d widowers whirl with distraction. Were we not proof and somewhat hardened against 4* present th*f»sel*«s t« hatlee fr«s the three grace*. The ffrst is the dark girl of fiction, southern complexion, jet black nalr and eyes and now be­ ginning to exert powerful influences over youngt and fusceptible^youths. The other, slender and fair, like a cherry Swaying ou a tender stem, In­ vites the gatherer's plucking hand. To a dainty gentleman we promise mouthful of luscious fruit. The third, though still very young and coy Is quit* a little model Of maidenly perfection. With a winning shrinking way, ot ex­ quisite modesty steeped in a fountain of good uature, she promises to make some one extremely happy atlpB early date. • " - : In marked contrast, comes the flash- ing Ettie, like a coursing angel in robes of white, scarfed, erowned and caparisoned from head to foot with vestments of imposing hues, preceeded with a huge fan trumpeting her ad­ vancing presence like- a herald of state. With the gushing enthusiasm Of crimson youth, she suddenly over­ whelms her friends in an exhuberant embrace, imparttnglourtTrapld smacks and-kisses on their smarting cheeks, which made our own writhe fn -»yni- pathy^and echoing abruptly above the din of music and shuffling feet like hickory nuts exploding »n the air. Theu suddenly collecting herself, bows, at us with assnmed dignity. Just as if nothing had happened. To say that Ettie is not pretty, that she has not got melting blue eyes, a majestlo statute and a transparent cheek, would be to incur her Just resentment, and far be it for a.man of our stature to battle against so fair and fearful odds. Miss Mary W. is a little' acquiline beauty, as neat and trim as though she just popped out of a baud box. With flowing tresses gently imprisoned with a pink band, like a little serpent of paradise coiled there to lure men on. S h e i s t h e v e r y i m p e r s o n a t i o n o f * youthful love,* Miss Anna Q. is « young lady of womanly presence and ideas. A mere glance at that toman profile, studious eye and well set mouth, denotes a fao- ulty for self government and an apti­ tude for runuing "an establishments If any gentleman has ua scheme" to ar­ gue, he may possibly be granted an audienoe, but the lady Is somewhat fas: I (lions in her choioe, and a candi­ date miist have his hair parted exaotly all these seductive agencies, a near ap- J in the middle, for she can toll It to a proach might involve some elements of hair, and will think it no soruplo to toll J®"What are we coming to when nearness is no necessity aud distance no obstacle to conversation, but when parties can chat .familiarly though leagues may separate them? Professor Bell, a few days ago when iu Boston, tried his telephone on the telegraph line and found that the operator in Salem could easily recognize voices. He then connected his instrument with North Conway, N. H., 143 miles from Boston, and had no difficuluy in carry­ ing on conversation at that distance. i^*A piudeat man advised bis druukeu servant to put by his money for a rainy day. In a few weeks his master inquired how much of his money he had saved. "Faith, none at all," said he. "it rained -yesterday, and it all went." danger. Be ft as it may, we shall commence with a sort of mechanical prologue, that of impaling the proprietor of the shawl with our little lead pencil. Miss Lucy is a gorgeous specimen of young womanhood. Her cheeks like two giant peaches from the choicest orchard of St. Jo, exhale a nutty fra- grpnee from a surface of golden down, suggestive of that ripe, mellow aud mouthmelting stage denoting, harvest time. Her eyes, like shooting stars*, will transfix a wcr.k/heart, through and through. The lady herself, is on an am pie, liberal/and gonerotts scale, and buch as ever to remind a lover of her overshadowing presence when she's near. Whether or no she desires, to be plucked, transplanted or engrafted up­ on some other tree, is purely a matter of conjecture. Certain it is that con­ siderable young gardeners vie with each other with pruning knives around her stately branches for the possession of but d sprig, a part if not the whole, if not a promise a glance at least, aud as an honest warning to prospective comers it is but fair to state that the lady, though charming, is a perfect quickstand for lovers. Now they are seen whole and entire in all their man- liuess; now the knees have disappeared and then the waist. Behold the shoul­ ders sinking fast and the chin now struggling for very life. One moment more, the eyes appeal in vain, the top­ knot gone and but an empty hat be­ strews the ground, a fit monument on a ramblings lovers grave. Lucy could point out to you with an exulting hand a whole column of such hats( and she rejoices iu a bow with a thousands strings unlike those poor souls with only one, that keeps snapping all the time. May heaven defend her fresh­ ness and herself. The two Katies next claim atteution The first is the hostess' daughter, a fact which united to her own intrinsic merits and the graceful part she played in making guests happy with lavish attentions, entitles her to some words of praise. If a neat costume, a well modelled form, a smiling face and obliging manners denote a gentle maid, she well deserves the name". The other is One of those crtunby maidens, impervious te sickness and ill humor. Endowed wltha robust con­ stitution, nice plump arms, able ind ready to serve the ideal of hei choice, beaming features and a good natured deposition, she is entitled to the seri­ ous consideration of good judges in those matters. The three Nellie's' O. S. and D., next him so neither. The Misses S. Mc. and H, from Anti- och way, are now seen whirling past. Miss S. was attire^ in black and Im­ personated the queen of night, in deli­ cious contrast with that rose leaf com­ plexion and eloquent eyes which wo thought a litle ill assorted with solemn black, shedding light over it like a beacon in the night. A silver butterfly also sparkled in her hair like a firefly flashing in a lovers dream. The second did not indeed exactly typify Mercury inasmuch thnt she bad not winged feet. But a tiny rosoy wing adorned each side of. her skirt, nearly level with the ground, and whether or not she derived life from these auxilaries, certain it is that afee shot ahead like musket balls. The lady is as little aud lithsome as a ga­ zelle, with a clear florid complexion, and the fiuely chiselled head of a venua with auburn hair neatly braided iutoa grecian knot. The third was attired in multitudin­ ous colors, the true heroine of the red white and blue. Sashes' in blue and sashes in red. she presented the specta­ cle of a gorgeous butterfly. Her face was of the purest wax, her eyes lan­ guishing, and her glances steeped in honey; the kind of a girl whom some persons are apt to dream about. Miss,Dev, is the genius of veneration, the young lady who unites all the at­ tributes known as good, wise and in­ dustrious. She is endowed with a be­ nevolent heart that only looks at the perfection of others aud leaves their faults alone. In this particular she is quite a prodigy ameng us, and adding to these excellent qualifications au amiable expression of countenance, she is well calculated to awaken serious thoughts in those who favor the ticket of self reform. We would fain analyse and confer the blue ribbon ou many more who were present that evening. But study­ ing the idiosynereasies (trot out your little dictionary) of our audience wo have as near as possible selected such subject for analysis whose good temper will doubtless shield us from a crack Ott =the head by big brothers mainlv dis­ tinguished for that sort of thi'og. well as by the damsels themselvee, •Furthermore 1 space will not allow a universal mention, so that We are con­ strained, (always with the aforesaid damsels permission) to postpone the no ;ice of other names to some future occasion.
