THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

At the Democratic convention held
in this city on Thursday last Mr.. A.
G. Cook, Of Columbus, was nominated
for Congress. Mr.. Cook was the Dem
ocratic candidate for Secretary of State
last fall, and was badly beat. Having
gone through the ordeal of defeat, he
was selected as fit mark for the Re-
publicans this year again. Personally,
we believe Mr.. Cook stands well with
his neighbors and friends. We under
stand he has fair reputation as law
yer; during the war, however, his legal
attalnments were chiefly used in assist
ing parties to escape from the draft,
and Mr.. Cook was long time stationed
at Fond du Lac directing his best eff
forts to this end Mr.. Cook is a fair
representative of the present Democra-
cy, and will DOUBTLESS draw his full
party strength, but be will be beaten
out of sight by his fellow townsman
aud competitor Hon. Gerry W. Hazel

WILHELMSH0HE NAPOLEON'S
NEW RESIDENCE.

Designated by King William of Prus-
STA, as the residence of Napoleon, is
one of the most delightful resorts of
royalty in Germany, more so on ac-
count of its fine location and beautiful
park than its palace But the most re-
markable feature of the place is the
fine cascade, fountains, and other Wa
ter works, deservedly ranked among
the finest of Europe, and in some res
poets surprising those Of Versailles
near Paris. The mountain side upon
which they are located, situated about
three miles from the City of Cassell,
is about twelve hundred feet in height,
and crowned with huge structure
called the Giants Castle, from the cen
ter of which rises pyramid ninety six
feet high, supporting a statue of Her
cules This bronze figure, full thirty
feet high, represents Hercules, lean
ing on huge club, having standing
room inside for six OR eight persons
The castle covers the reservoir contain
ing the waters, which on Sundays and
fete days are tumbed down an inclined
plane of three hundred yards, with
width of forty feet, broken at distances
of fifty yards with small basins, the
whole constructed of solid masonry,
bearing remarkable grotto-like and
antique appearance. At the foot the
water is gathered again to pass through
an aqueduct that looks like relic from
ancient Rome, and finally shoots up in a
stream of twelve inches in thickness to a
height of one hundred, land ninety feet.
In the park, which has some of the
finest walks and cultivated woods to be
seen anywhere, are number of other
trifes for the pastime Of royalty, such
as ruin built in exact imitation Of a
dilapidated castle of the middle ages,
also an extensive greenhouse with
floral attractions from all CT mes, and
statues and fountains innumerable.
All this was built by order of Duke
Carl Of Hesse Cassel, at the beginning
of the last century, with desire to
construct something which had not its
equal in the world. Up to 1866 it was
used by his descendants as summer
residence, but the German war of that
year left it in the hands Of the Prus-
SLAMS, who now find it of some use ;
for Sin this retired, yet charmpgly
beautiful spot, his recent Imperial
Majesty will have fit place to medi-
tate over past grandeur and human fol
