Shocking Suicide in the Town of Clifton

Mr.. COVER Our usually quiet
town was thrown into a violent state
OF excitement on Thursday last, by
The discovery of the fact that Nj.
William Thompson, one of our oldest
and most respected citizens, had com.
mitted suicide by hanging himself in
his own barn. Mr.. Thompson had
resided in the town of Clifton for a
quarter of century. He was an
honest, industrious and highly re-
spected citizen, and in good circum,
stances. He emigratod from York.
shire, England, about twenty-seven
years ago and came to Wisconsin,
where. through honest industry, be
secured for himself comfortable
home, owning one of ,the best farms
in the county.
His melancholy death has cast a
gloom over the whole neighborhood.
The testimony adduced at the inquest
tended to show that for the las
three years the deceased labored I'M
der a bodily infrmity that seriously
depressed his mind and induced fits Of
melancholy and temporary insanity,
which were increased by the unhap-
Ply circumstance that two of his chill
dren were born mentally defective,
and also the fact that he had recently
sustained heavy peeuniary losses

the opinion of the Jury.

The Annexation Scheme.

The NY. Trihune'S Montreal special
says: The desire of the people of
the New dominion to cut loose from
their dependence upon the mother
country, has received q powerful i'm
petus from one or two great events,
and whatever course may finally be
adopted, there can be little doubt
that a great political change of some
sort is not far distant. Several pri-
vate meetings of influential persons
have recently been held here for the
purpose of considering the great
question of a change in the form Of
government, and the general dissat-
istaction with the present state of
things is more and more openly ex-
pressed. The newspapers are at last
beginning to meet the question face
to face, and giving utterance TO the
sentiment which has long been wide>
ly discussed among the people, al
though few have had courage to cx-
press publicly, Part are in favor of
independence, but the larger party,

itself prominent. The acquisition of
the Hudson's Bay territory has given
additional force TO the arguments of
the anneXatlonists 1t is felt that
such magnificent domain as the New
Dominion now promises to be, ought
no longer to be dwarfed and kept
down by dependence on Trans At

that Great Britain shall surrender
her North American possessions as
set off against the Alabama claims,
has created deep sensation in GER
tain circles. Not q few regard il
with decided favor. Senator Sum
ner's speech was copied IL full by
both the English and French jour
nails, and is, OF course, the topic Of
much discussion.

A. T. Stewart.

To the majority OF persons know
ing Alexander t. Stewart by sight
and even this number is comparative
" few-he is simply y very gentle-
manipulating man, plainly dressed,
without the vestige even of an orna>
ment; rather slight in figure, light
brown hair, blue eyes, light full
beard, without mustache, and regular
features. The delicate clearness of
his complexion, the firm moulding
of his mouth and chin, and the pleas
ant expression of his calm, clear eyes
are unnoticed by superficial observers.
Though slight, he is extremely well
made, and a heightened lease of life
is legible in his frank, open and un-
wrinkIed brow, his complexion, glow
ing with the ruddy hue Of health,
and his perfectly erect figure. His
hands are white and delicate, his feet
small, his voice low, and his manners
pleasant, yet dignifed and polished.
His own clerks, who have seen him
daily for years, have had no more
notion of his inner life than the veri-
est strangers. They have seen him
only as others saw him. They have
judged him only as others judged
him man devoted to business and
money making man decisive, per-
perfect martinez. 1t is
true that as regards his employees,
he conducts his business on principles
of strict military discipline, and with
the thousands in his employ he could
not do otherwise but it is reserved
f0r those who know him intimately
to penetrate his noble, warm and
magnanimous heart. "You have
been in my employ fifteen years, but
have been grossly nGglectful of an
important trust" he said to one he
had discharged. 1T shall not hap
pen again" pleaded the discharged
employee. Il shall not allow it to
happen again." answered Mr.. Stew
art II beg you for the sake of my
wife and children to take me back,
still further urged the discharged en- /.
ployee. "Will you not do it ?" mo,
sir" answered Mr. Stewart; "you
have violated rule of my establish
ment. You have neglected duty.
l forgive mistakes, but l never over
look neglect" But, interrupted
the discharged employee. But"
continued Mr. Stewart, "for your
past years of faithful service shall
continue your salary There, go"
The man went, but his salary has
been paid him ever since and there
are others who are paid in the same
way.-N. Y. Herald.

they. "Have you any more of that

mo be said, 81 have not, but |
shall get some, Hero, Willy, run to
the store, and tell them to send some

The boy stood before his father
respectfully, but did not go.
"Come, Willy why, what's the
matterl Come, run along
He went, but come back presently
without any bottles.
"Where's the ale, Willy.
81 asked for it at the store, and
they put it upon the counter, but
could not touch it, Q, pa pa don't
be angry | told them to send it up,
but | could not touch it myself! |"
The father was deeply moved, and |
turning to his brother officers he
said
"Gentleman you hear that? You
can do as you please. When the ale
comes you may drink it, but not an
other drop shall be drunk in my
house, and not another drop shall
pass my lips, Willy, have you your
temperance pledge p
"Oh pa, | have"

And the boy was back with it ia a |
moment. The father signed it, and |
the little follow chung around his
neck with delight The ale came
but no one drank, and the bottle |
stood on the table untouched.
Children, sign the pledge, and ask
your parents to help you keep it.
Don't touch the bottle and try to
keep others from touching it.

sg~ 1t is a sadly noticeable fact
that our diplomatic service ia now
disgraced as it rarely, if ever, was
before by the two men who once OUT
ranked in public esteem all others
now in the service. We refer, OF
course, to Reverdy Johnson and
John z. Hale. Only few years ago
each was a leader, one the prince of
conservatives, the other of radicals
Johnson was the beau>idcal of the
best type Of conservative. He
was thought to be model man in
his way. Those who inclined to cons
servatism looked upon him as the re>
alization of their ideal public man
The most radical among us respected
him. This respect he enjoyed during
bis entire life at home. Had the
ship that bore him abroad foundered,
and his life been thus terminated, his
name would have been honored by
all. Now there are none left to
speak his praise The most charit-
able can only perform for him the
kindly Office performed for the
| drunken Noah by his two dutiful
sons. His name is one foul blot upon
the record of our present public
affairs.
Mr.. Hale was the peer of Seward,
Sumner, Giddings, Lovejoy, and that
noble band that stood in the breach
and defended Liberty's Thermopyl@
At one time he outranked them all
and was the acknowledged leader in
the movement that eliminated in
emancipation. Now, if the charge
of smuggling is true, and it has not
at all been refuted, be is little better
| than common thief
In the opinion of Whittier, there il
nothing sadder than the comparison
| of what is with what might have
been, but when to that is added wha
,cas, the grief must be doubly poign-
| ant.
