The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1868-01-23

The Washington correspondent of the
Columbus, O., Journal says: The Gene
RAILS father came to town the other day,
and stopped with 'Ulyss,' as he calls his
boy, whom ne found seated at his fireside,
smoking, OF course, and surrounded by
members of his private and military fami-
ly. About the first thing the old gentle
man did after shedding his overcoat, was
to come at his unpumpable offspring, with,
'Ulyss, are you in favor of niger suf-
frage?' No response, only vigorous pufs.
What do you think Of it! inquiries the
General, with Yankee shrewdness. The
old one states his position-he's for intel
igence, qualification and SO on. well
now, Ulyss, I've answered your question, 1
want you to answer mine; are you in ia
vor of niger suffragef If you are, you'll
get beat all hollow, with all your popular
ity, for Ohio went $4,000 against it, and if
she was to vote tomorrow, she'd go 10O,-

itics much for the last five or six years,

WOuldn't Bury Him.

The following incident is related by a
Paris correspondent
My whim, prompted by curiosity, hav-
ing led me lately as far as Bicetre, small
place near Paris, famous for the asylum
for the insane, I visited the hospital, and
while in one OF the galleries the following
dialogue took place between functionary
and applicant. The latter was q woman
in deep black, and her clothing attested
the deepest misery, though her features
were expressive of calm endurance:
So you will not bury my father - she
inquired
1--WE win if you bring the money"
have none"
"Then make some"
have pawned all my clothes"
Apply to your friends
81 have none"
The man IN Office shrugged his shoulders
up to his ears, saying:
3" am sorry for you. Go to the director,
and if he sends you to the chaplain, go to
the chaplain; but can't bury dead body
without money. 1t is against the rules. "
So you really do refuse to bury it ?''
"I do"
Very well, sir (; then keep it,
No words can express the functionary' 8
countenance when the above permission
was given him. The woman walked
quietly of, and it was not until she had
left the madhouse far behind her that she
sat down en- bench and sobbed.

| sorted to during the summer. tar
| The Interior Of the room is occupied by
rows of benches and tables systematical.
i ly arranged, and at the lower end. facing
the entrance, is raised stage for lectures,
any one being free to occupy it. Near
the stage is piano, all the meetings be-
ing opened with singing. A library, q

the statutes for obtaining so laudable an
end.
| The monthly contribution is fixed at
three silver groschen, or about eight cents

Berlin can enjoy means of instruction
inferior in no respect to that of many Of

man, who has failed 10 preserve his posi-
