SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
A Man Shoots Himself on HE Wifc's
Doalhbed.

Whitewater CWis.) Cor. Milwaukee Sentinel.]
On Sunday morning last our citizens
were panied to hear that Mrs. Foster,
wife Of VIM. f. Foster, and daughter
of Salmon Clark, of this village, was
dead, and soon after were startled by
the report that Mr.. Foster had shot
himself. The facts are these Some
six years ago William F. Foster, n
brother of George II. Foster, of Mil
waukee, was married to Carrie Clark,
a beautiful and accomplished young
lady of this village. They soon after
removed to Chicago, where Mr.. Foster
went into business, and where they
have since resided. 10 the happy
couple life was all pleasant, and they
seemed to live for each other, and be
happy in each others love but alas
misfortune came. BY tho fall Of an
elevator In his store at Chicago, MIR.
Foster was seriously injured, and for q
time his life was despaired of. From
the effects of the fall he never entirely
recovered, but sufficiently, however, to
attend to business. Soon after this 1t
became evident to the husband and
friends Of Mrs. Foster TINT the fell
disease consumption was claiming her
for its own. Everything that skill
could do OF affection devise was done,
but without avail. Finally Mr.. and
Mrs. Foster and her mother went to
Florida, hoping that the climate there
might benefit her. This, too, failed,
and the first Of March she was brought
back here. where she died OH Sunday
morning last.
During all her sickness Mr.. Foster
was unwearied In his attentions, caring
not for himself, only for her. Her
sickness seemed to prey upon his mind,
and he was heard to say "he cared not
to live after Carries death, and that
without her the world was nought to
him." and 1t now appears he Ind made
p%reparatlons to take his own life. Mrs.
Foster, knowing she was about to die,
and fearing the effect upon her hus-
band, said to him, "Husband, had you
not better 90 into the other room?"
and almost Immediately expired. Mr..
Foster, who was very much affected,
stood for a few moments, then said.
SIS my darling wife dead? ?" and left
the room. He soon returned, threw
himself on the foot and side of the bed,
crying "I am comlng-let me die by
the side Of my wife," placed the pistol
against his person and fired. Mr..
Clark, who was standing ncar the bed
overcome with grief, hearing the cry,
and seeing Mr.. Foster throw himself
on the bed, instantly seized him, but
only In time to prevent the ball from
going through the heart. It went
through the left breast, lodging, 1t Is
thought, In the lung. There is but
little hope Of Mr.. Fosters recovery.
The entire community sympathize
with the family in their double aihic-
tion.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Joint
High Committee have made such prog
ress within the past few days that 1t Is
authoritatively stated they will finish
their duties OH Wednesday or Thurs
day next.
A dispatch from New Orleans at a
late hour last night says the whole city
Is filled with rumors of crevasses. A
personal investigation, however, re'
duces the number Of crevasses
from which imminent danger is anticl-
pated to four. Tonight three Of these
are reported under control, leaving the
break at Bonnet Carrie aloneto be CON-
batted. Here the danger is great and
imminent, the waters Of the great
river rushing through an opening 700
feet wide with a rushing, roaring
sound audible for miles, blowing a
channel fifty feet deep far into vacant
lands, and the levee Is rapidly crum'
bling into the boiling waters. Large
piles driven twenty feet in the ground,
and packed with sand-bags, are swept
away like reeds. No efforts can now
close the crevasse, and as soon as the
flood has cut its way into the lake, tho
latter will overflow the whole real
portion of New Orleans.
The latest news Is that the Bonnet
cave crevasse is still extending.
Ten miles of the Jackson Railroad
is washed away.
Two other creyasses-one Mt Point
Manor, west of Baton Rouge, and one
OH the McDonough estate, below the
city-are reported.

The Assnssiuntion OF Mr.. John q.
DIcKinson By the kuklux.

Referring to the atrocious and cold
blooded murder Of Mr.. John Q. Dick
inson by the Kuklux, while passing
from his office to his home in Mariana,
Jackson county, Florida, on Monday
evening, April Sd, the Tallahassee
Sentinel says:
His dead body was found the next
| morning. Thirteen buckshot had ell
tered his side, and a pistol ball pene-
trated his heart. 10 give color to the
suspicion that he might have been
murdered for the sake of robbery, 1t Is
said that his pockets had been rifled.
Captain Dickinson was a native OF Rut-
land, Vermont, and served during the
war rs Lieutenant and Assistant Quar-
termaster in the Seventh Regiment Of
Vermont Volunteers. In the year 1868
he was appointed Assistant Commits
sioner Of the Freedmen's Bureau and
stationed ut Mariana, and after the dis
continuance of the Bureau was ap-
pointed Clerk Of the Circuit Court for
Jackson county, which office he held
at the time of his death. Captain
Dickinson was about thirty-flve years
Of age, a graduate of Dartmouth Col
lege, and had just been admitted to the
bar, and with his known talents, his
friends. with reason, looked forward
to a brilliant career for him, If he were
permitted to live. His assassination,
however, was not unexpected to him
or his friends. He was the last remain
ing white Republican in that county,
and the opposition were extremely de-
sirous to get rid Of him. His conduct
all the time was guarded and prudent,
and he was noted for gentlemanly de-
pertinent. He had from time to time,
owing to his being IN earnest Repub-
lican and n leader Of the party In
jackson county. been threatened with
death; but having right and freedom
as his motto, he bid defiance to his
enemies and died at his post. He was
a good citizen and officer, and all that
conld be said against him by his Bit
terest political enemies was that he
was n Republican. Thus one by n
are Republicans stricken down by the
asSaSsin'S bullet.

THE Kidder National Gold Bank, @

THE kidder National Gold Bank, OF

by the United States, has received its
bills and commenced business, which
is the same as that Of any national
bank, except that the medium used is

TIE Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Is about to issue an order to the
revenue officers throughout the coun.
try regarding seizures Of property. He
holds that, when a revenue officer takes
possession of property for alleged vio-
iation of the revenue laws by its own
crs, the act does not constitute n seizure,
but is merely a detention until suit can
be brought, and be tried In the courts.
It almost invariably follows that, when
a revenue officer so takes possession OF
property, he informs members OF
the press of the fact, and 1t Is
heralded rs a seizure for violation OF
law. Frequently the character Of the
defendant, who may be innocent of
guilt, is ruined by such publication.
General Pleasanton Is determined to
prevent the continuance of such prac-
tees, and has directed all officers OF
the revenu to preserve secrecy regard
ing property taken possession of, until
suit can be brought in the courts, and
the owner have a fair chance to exon
crate himself from the charges brought
against him.

- Il
The two most prosperous nations OF
Europe are those whence emigration
l. carried out on the largest scale
Great Britain and Germany. The rapid
growth of their wealth and power
began almost simultaneously with their
great colonizing efforts, through which
thew have laid the foundations Of vast
empires on this continent, In India and
in Australia. For more than half q
century has been going on this system
of converting Improbable consumers
at home into profitable producers
abroad, whereby commerce Of every
kind has been enormously Increased;
and while the colonies have thus been
enriched, the mother country has also
been proportionately benefited. On
the other hand, those nations OF the
Old World which send forth but few
colonists have for the most part re-
NAMED stationary, or progressed very
slowly. 1t was the planting of numer-
Gus colonies which contributed so much
to the power and duration Of ancient
Greece aud Rome ; and In the middle
age. the sudden rise Of Spain and Por-
tugal was mainly due to their mari
time enterprise and to colonizing'
When they forsook these their pros,
perity and power dwindled, and at one
time had all but disappeared. In view
Of these facts, and applying the phi
losophy Of them to France, NJ. ThierS
uttered a very significant suggestion to
the Committee which recently held
their sittings at Bordeaux to select
location for the National Assembly
eff" said he, "a Republic Is to be
firmly planted in France, 1t will be
necessary for her to COLOMBO on a grand
scale" 1t Is the misfortune Of the
French to be so welded to their coun,
try that as a rule they prefer living In
poverty in it to seeking labor in q dis
tant land. This remark applies espe'
cially to the Inhabitants of Paris and
the large cities, although no doub,
there are thousands of them to be me
with in all parts OF the world; but II
will be observed that when Frenchmer
do emigratc it Is to some large city
There r thousands Of them in Lon
don, but scarcely any in any other par
of England; and the same may b.
said of those who come to this coun
try-they resort to New York, Phila
delphia and New Orleans, but cart
little about settling on the prairies oil
digging up new ground. There seems
to be an attraction for them in the
noise and turmoil, the theatres ant
promenades, of a great city, from
which they are 10th to separate them
selves. The result Of this is that Paris
Lyons and Marseilles are more ant
more becoming oppressed with a CROWD
OF furnished wretches, who insist Oh
being supplied with food and shelter
at any price, even though they do ne
work.

Prince Bismnrk.

Bismarck, after having been raised
through all the other degrees OF no
bility. has at last been made Prince.
This brings him into the immedlate
presence and equality of the royal
family, "a we'll as Of the other royal
families of Europe; 80 that henceiorth
his descendants can intermarry with
them, bear their insignia, and parake
of their privileges generally. one OF
the first hvors permitted him on thls
occasion-as it Is said-was to KISS one
of the royal babies (the Crown Prin'
cess I Think, which Is permitted to no
one except those of princely. rank.
Tho new title does not give him any
new power, as he had already exer-
cised more than anybody else In the
empire. 1t Is for him merely title OF
honor, and Its chief acceptableness 10
him Is understood to be on account OF
his family. He will henceforth be 40,
dressed as "His Serenity" but Will
not be designated, as was thought,
"Prince Of Alsace,"' but merely
.Prince Won Bismark-Schonhansen."
This same honor was conferred on
Butcher, after the wars with the first
Napoleon, and OH Hardenberg and
Others who had rendered special SER
vice to Prussia. At the Same time
that Bismark received this title, Moltke
who had already since the wal been
made Baron, was presented with the
great cross Of the Order of the Iron
Cross, the highest military distinction
that exists in PRUSSIA. Others-Wer.
der, Manteuffel, etc.-have received
like distinctions. What ~characerizes
the reign of King William, and makes
it specially successful, Is Its almost II

other hand, the old King Is not only
glad to leave the work of honor to
other hands, but personally increases
the honor by all means In his power.
