Destructive fires have been raging for many days at Kenosh and Racine and Walworth counties in Wisconsin. Thousands of have been swept by the flames. Northern Illi- nois fires are so numerous that farm- ers have plowed ground about their buildings in order to check the spread of the flames. In some parts of the district the drought is so terrible that butternuts and walnuts have fallen off. Potatoes, when taken from their beds of ashes, look like crab apples. They are wrinkled and spongy and unfit for food. There is also a great scarcity of milk owing to the inability of cows to find food. acres Speak of a man as you find him. Destroy no man'sreputation by false accusation, for political or other pur poses. His name and reputation are as dear to him, to his wife and children, and to his posterity as yours, it may be all he owns in this world. Touch it very tenderly. Every man that kills the reputation of another for any purpose by false accusation, deserves, and will in all probability, suffer from the same cause, only more so. All men think all men mortals but themselves, says the old adage, but all are mistaken. So is it in life, one man cannot fol- low a life of defamation with any de- gree of certainty that it will not come home to both him and his in doubled quantity and force. We talk glibely of giving the devil his due, but too seldom care to do the same for our friend or neighbor, par ticularly if he be a public officer of a persuasion the opposite to our own.
