ory nuts last Saturday morning, some two
miles below town, suddenly came upon the

three months Old There were evidences
ot pretty severe struggle on the ground
around her. Her hat. containing her net
and breast pin, were but few feet from

girl having been dsgraced, and wishing to
hide her shame, had deliberately gone to
the woods and committed suicide. The
author of her unhappiness, whoever he may
be, may place her tragical death to his
credit.
The verdict Of the Coroner's jury was
that she came to death from laudanum, ad
mnistered by her own hand.

$1,000 bushels Of wheat on board, from
Milwaukee for Oswego, went ashore two
miles north Of Two Rivers. and is now a
total wreck. The mate had watch at the
time, and the wreck is supposed to have
been caused by the deep fog and careless
,ess of the steersman. On Tuesday her
hull had settled SO deep into the sand that
her deck was ten feet under water. Tbs
vessel and cargo were worth about $50 600.

Eidridee said that would be all right.
We'll, said Hilyer. there is one thing you
might have got out of NE if you had put
the question to me, and you came mighty
near doing it when you were examining me
about Grant. What was that 2 said Ell
dridge. Why replied Hillyer. I heard
conversation between Gen. Grant and the
President some time ago,-the only time |
ever heard them talk politics. Grant
seemed to be very earnest about it, and
bringing his hand down heavily upon the
table, said he GRANT,: ''Mr. President,
demagogues may talk as they please, but
this Is white mans government and none
but white ulen should have voice 10 it. "
