WISCONSIN. MILWAUKEE. LEGISLATORIAL. {gyiciat Corveepondence of The Chicaoo Tyibune. $awacsee, Dec. 13.—The Democrats nave pemined opon & veritable conp d’etar. Tho pact complesion of the Legelature is oot foows, owing to the members who are set iwn 6s Independents; bus o fair {wting sbows 49 Republicans. 49 Demo- eots, sod 3 Independents. Of these In- fpesidents, Heory Fink, Moderate Repub- jion, reputed & fair-minded man, has boen se- iciad by the Democratic Stats Central Com- pities to Teceive the office of the Speakership without going into cancus. If this is done, and Fink should aceept, the Democrats will have se- zared & majority and the orgsnization, as they mteno doubt, with the Bpeakership in their fands, of finding means to secure also the vote u least of one of the remaining two * [ndependent members. The imporiance of this grggle will be perceived when it is remembered that the fate of railroads in this Eate will donbtiess be decided by this Legisla~ fare, and that the reapportionment of the State, sathe basis of thd census compléted last sum- pur, will be,ordered, thus to a graat extent de- sding for the next ten years the political des- Jalss of Wisconsin. The Bepublicans also are e b0 thesa facte. RTHORS. 1 telegraphed during the weck a rumor that Poss Eoves, Judge Dixon, aad Judge Hopkins anetobe presented to the United States Grand Jury, pest January term, for indiciment for in- tarfaring to corrupt and prevent the proper ad- minisiration of justice. Thin arises out of the * whisky trial of Sam Rindskopf last fall at Madison, and is threatened by the Whisky Ring in retalistion for the present prosecu- tiots, as though the fate of individuals can affect a pational and importsnt system of trisls Like shoso a¢ present agitating the nation, Judge Hopkics being s United States Judge, end Judge Tixoa the attorney for the United States in the Kilwaukes prosecutions. The allegation is that Tedge Hopkins bad already decided upon three years’ imprisonment as the ponishment of Sam Rindskopf when Bose Keyes and Judge Dixon together proceeded to the Judge's residence, sod used such arguments that the term wes re- duced to one aay, aod every one will remember whata triumphant champagne-drinking day that v, sud what an oatrageous defiance of the Tnited States and all its power, and the taws of tbs country. That Judge Hopkins conld be bitezced by anything bab & strong #nse of right mno one will believe, wless it can be vyroved, which I fmey will be diffienit, that he had tally dotermined, as stated, to make the term thres years. When the facis all come ouf, it vill be interesting to see what kind ofa firure triend Carpenter will cat, for Matt was the prin- cpa mover of all in these Madison scencs, and ffany influence really was brought to bear by wyoneat all, it seems to have been nsed pre- exinently by Saint Matthew. Another rumor is that, notwithatauding the pretty speeches of Mr. Keves, on the oocasion of {8 recent visit here of Postmaster Jewell, the Boss is to lose the Madison Postmastership. This reminds me of the Pastmasterskip of Mil- ysukee. Mr. West has enjoyed the oftice, Bome pecple say, 28 long as he ought to expect, and e is quite resigned to give avother man a ance. Mr. S8haw is sapposed to have been selacted as his successor. Mr. A. M. Thomson Ina been spoken of, but I believe Mr. Thomson an bave another office, and one that will suit Eim better, if he says *‘yes” when the time wmes {0 offer it. ANNUAL POULTEY SHOW. The yearly oxhibition of the Wisconsin Ponl- £7und Pet-Stock Association has commenced at Arnory Hall, and is corsidered by competent ludges very extensive and excellent.

Her hus- band ia daidv s sulfercr from her strange whims, and moze than ooce has threatened to leave her, This state of things has existed for more than two years. 1t finally resched a climax last woek.

Ber- geron and L'Hote demonstrate the presence Of traces of coppérin the humsn body, The fact that copper, when introduced into the system through the alimentary canal, acca- taulates in the tiver and kidneys, served a8 & starting point for theit ingniry. Tbess organs wers analyzed in fouriesn cases, whose history made it practically certain that no copper com- pounds had been swallowad for 8 considerable period before death. They ware invariably found to contain traces of the metal, varying 13 amount from a guaotity incapable of beiog oumerioatly estimated—in 5 young | man of 17—to one ot two ralllictams, tnis latter in the case of the body of u man aged 78. The conclusion is that wheo the total mass of thé liv- &r and kidneys contains mors than 8 milligrams of the metal, it must have been introduced iuto the aystem in unusual gosntity. The irsces normally present ara sitributable to such acci- dental causes es the use of copper utensils, which are 20 generally employed in the preparktion of food ; the greater part of this is eliminated, but & minats trace of the metal {8 found in the liver aod kidneys, and this is troe whatever the age, sex, or mode of life. | { GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES, Symptoms of Old-Maidishnesssse How the Widow Caught Him.

" The lovely Widow L. sat in the samo gleigh, uider the same builalo-robe, with me.” **Oh ! oh! don't, don’t! ” she exclaimed, as we came to the first bridee, at the same time catch- iog me by the arm and tarning her veiled face toward me, while het little @&yos twinkled through the moonlight. *‘Don't what? " I'asked; *I'm not doing any- thing.” a4 \%’ell, but I thought you wers going to take toll,” féplied tho widow. *Tolll” Irejoined. ‘‘What's that?” *“Weli, I declaré! " cried the widow, her tlear Isugh ringing out above the music of the bells, *you pretend you don’t know what toll is!” “Indesd I don't then,” I eaid, lnughing; * ex~ pla‘n, if yon please.” “ You never hesrd, then,” sald the widow, most provokingly—* you never héaid that, when we are on a eleigh-ride the gentlemen always— that is, sometimes—when they cross a bridge, call a kies, and claim it toll. But I pever pay it.” I said that I never heard of it before; but when we came to the noxt bridge I cliimed the | tofl, and the widow's struggles to hold the veil over her {ace were uot ehough to tedr it. Atlast the veil was removed, hér round, rosy face was turned direatly foward miine, and in the clear Tight of a frosty moon the toll wad taken, for the first time in my expérience. Soon we came to & lon; bridge, With soversl atches ; the widoi caid it was of no use to reeist a man who would have his own way, 8o she paid thé toll without a mur- mor, **But you won't take toll for every arch, will you ?" she said, eo archly that I could not fail to exact all my dues; and that wna the beginning of my courtabip.

The wife of the visitor belog religiously inolined, raised & remonstrance against the gauie, but this was disregarded by her husband. 8be then became very much éxcited, and threatened to burn the cards if they contio- ued to play. At last her husband toroed to her-and said: ‘I guees I'm wearing the breeches now, and if you don’t want to see me play and can’t behave yourself, just gat your bonnet and go home at once.” 8he took him at his word, aod ail that night her lonely piliow was wek with Lears of bitter anguish, called forth by tbe knowledge of her husband's wickedness. Next morning the husband, who in the mean=~ time had been nuraing hig wrath, went home and told his wife that she had dis; him, acd now she could pack her traps ana leave his bed and board forever. Remonstrance waa in vain, sod sho sorrowfally departed. That night the husband retired tohis widowed bed—to thiuk, not to eleop. Yisions of the past happinoss and re- gret for his hasty expulsion of hia companion passed tbrough his mind. Presently ho heard & gentle tap at the door. *Come in,’ 80id he ; the door opened, aud his wife stood upon the threshold. * Betsey.’ Baid he, ‘what are you doing out this time o’ night?’ * Oh, nothisg,” she. *Make me some coffes,’ said he.
