Miss Annie Surratt-Sympathy for her
The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Times thus alIudes to the unhap
py young woman, who, through the
bloody mistake of political factions, is now
an orphan. lie SAYS:
"The many friends Of Miss Ahnie Sur
ratt will be glad 10 learn that her health
has greatly improved within a week or
two, although she is far from being the
happy, joyous girl that she once was.
Hundreds of slmpathizing friends have
called to see her during the last ten days,
but to most of them she begged TO be ex-
cused. She feels deeply the kindness
which they manifest. but she is not yet
equal to the duties of society. Iudeed, a
deep and settled melancholy seems to have
taken entire possession Of her nature.
She never smiles, and the expression of
her face Is that Of agony struggling with
resignation. Her only relief is in the con
ISOLATION Of religion; and If it were not for
sha,, she would probably die. Her great
est grief Is, that she is no. allowed to lay
the remains of l.er mother in consecrated
ground, nor to say prayer over her last
restlng-place. She lives only in hope of
being 'ble TO do this, and it only needs
one word from tho Secretary Of War to
enable her to do it. Why is his pormis
sion withheld! Is noHjustice yet satisfied ?
Was not the requirements of the law fu-
filed when the life Of the probably inno-
cent woman was taken Must vengeance
pursued her beyond tho tomb 2"

My DEAR SIR Your favor Of the 22d

would state that ain in favor of the prin-

Kate Howard, the Former Ntistress Of
Louis Napoleon---Her Immense Obe-
sity---Her Last DaVs and Death.

At the Chateau Beauresard, near Yer

once beautiful Kate lIoward-beautifa. no

features, magnificent figure and charms tf

ly old at forsy-two, SO corpulent that from
figure and feature, destitute of mental
sources Of enjoyment, he: last years fo,m,
ed strange contrast TO the days Of her
youth and beauty
From the Emperor. her former lover,
she received every mark of favor and con
sideration. On Napoleon's marriage with
the Empress Eugenis the chateau and
domains of Beauregard were settled upon
his former mistress, one Of the finest prop
critics in the envrons of Paris, built by
Cardinal Furstenberg, for the purpose OF
giving; artistic tetcs to Louis Quatorze.
Millions were laid ont upon the internal
arrangements of the chateau; q liver was
turned from :ts course to flow shl ough the
grounds, whole section Of forest WAS
purchased TO cut down because il inn eded
the ylew from the windows. Every blaLd
lshment, every seduction Of sensual and
intellectual taste was accumulated al Beau
regard and yet, amid all this splendor,
Kate Howard, Tor, rather, Madame Trel>
awney, for she had married a captain Of
that name lived life Of comparative mis-
cry, sighing for the past, which was to re-
turn no more. In her later years her cor
pulance Isays the London Court JournaO
increased to such an extent that the last
carriages made for her were contrived to
open entirely from back to front, for the
form. The only joy of her latter days
was IN the pursuit Of vexatious lawsuits,
, which amused her mind and kept up a
perpetual excitement. Against her hus-
band, against her tradespeople, agains. her
lawyers themselves she managed to carry
on legal war which has become the sole,
enjoyment OF her lie.
At last she sent for the care Chesney-
lez-F Versailles, in whose palace the sumptu-
Gus domain Of BeaureCard is situated, and
| atJured the Protestant faith, in which she
had been brought up, to adop, that of the
Roman Church. But even this failed to
give relief, and a few days afterwards she
expired of what is called by doctors dis
ease of the heart, but is well known by
philosophers as regret for the past, ennui
of the WEAKNESS, and dread for the future
The children she had adopted vii! in

eau of Beauregard and the title goes to
the son, the Count de Bechevet, and An
income of ten thousand pounds year
to her two daughters. Both of these are
remarkable for their beauty, and have been
educated with the greatest care.
Her funeral WAS attended by many thou
sands OF persons, amongst whom the poor
were numerous. She has apparently
striven by her charities to atone for the
irregulaIity OF her earlier life.

TOWN AND COUNTRY

OUR HARnoR. Legislature ct its
last session passed laws, under the proyis-
ions Of which the village is authorized TO
issue its bonds in the sum OF $50, 900, and
tbs county in like amount. It will be seen
By notice given by the Sheriff, that ;he
elsc:or. Of the County are to vote upon
the proposition Of giving aid 10 the pro-
jecs,
The property holders aud business men
Of tho village have a large and more di
rect interest in the construction Of this
harbor than the people Of the country, and
they can hardly expect that the electors
will vote favorably on the proposition now
submitted 10 them under the notice 0: the
Sheriff, unless they shall have first voted
10 raise an equal SUM to be levied Oh the
property of The village.
The people Of the village must take the
initiative step in this matter, and if they
do, and should vote to raise the $50, 900,
there is no doubt the people of the coun
" will come up nobv to the work, and
give us all that is asked by the law
Why tbs village authorities have not
moved at an earlier day in this matter, is
mystery to the people, from whom has
been withheld the chance to declare in
favor of the harbor bill
Though :bere is no man who owns
property in any portion Of the county
whose interest would not be promoted by
,he construction of the harbor, it can
hardly te expected that any one out side
OF the village corporation will vote for
county aid to he work until the village
has first put itself right upon the record.
With the Larbor completed and he rail
road to Menasha in operation, millions Of
dollars would be added to the wealth Of
the coua,y, and M,uitowoc would soon
rank among the iirst>cass cities Of the
State; and when i, is known that these
two works could have been accomplished
by the resources at the command Of our
citizens in years that have gone by, and
cannot be recalled, and that the same can
now be done, every live man will fee! like
denounclng those who have prevented and
shall continue TO prevent tie consumma-
tion Of these projects, az worse than drones
aud laggards-as cancers feeding upon The
substance Of our people.
If the people of the village and county
were to devote 100000 10 the con
siruc,ion OF those two works, they would
add five told of their cost 10 the wealth of
the county. As delays are dangerous,
ws hope the people will move at once and
etfectually in the right direction, aud se~
cure all the benefits they can under the
laws now in force and if they think these
laws will not prove efficient 10 the desired
end, let them see that they be amended
al the next session Of The Legislature.
