Romance and Reali5y.-Death of Mr
Blanchard
From the Lacrosse Leader.

! From the Lacrosse Leader
| atlre is greater than Art. The 70
Semitic is glaader than Bierstadts repre-
Sehtation Off All delneation of human
passion is tanner than the natural language
OF the passion itself Romance always
pales before reality. Love is stronger in
the heart than on the printed page, and
DEAF more tragic in its reality than In It's
Representations
recent illustration comes fresh to our
mind. Wednesday evening to crowded
house in Milwaukee, Miss Nilsson revealed
the sorrows of the stricken Ophela. The
Ophelia that Shakespeare has portrayed for
US, Nilsson showed to US in very reality,
md we shuddered at the rapid transition
from unnatural gayety to supernatural hor
ror, or the perfect vacancy-the terrible
Inanity of irremediahle woe
While this mastery representation of hu-
man passion was there thrilling an eager
and breathless house, at Watertown. anoth-
er tragedy more startling and awful was
being enacted in very deed At the fire
there which burned the grist mill, the mill
of Blanchard Brothers, on the other side of
the stream was in danger They were on
the root to protect it. One of them, the
Oldest, aged %, slpped--a brief but ineffec
tual struggle fearful plunge of so feet
and be lay mangled and broken on the ice
below, nothing left but brain clear as the
moment before he fell. His wife watching
the fire from window past which he tell,
was the first to enfold his torn body in low
ing arms He, young, strong, noble, sue
ceSstul man. owner of wealth and a luxu-
rlou5 home, husband of a happy wife and
father of a loving child, in one awful mo-
ment was severed from all and placed in the
lmm@ date presence of memorable death
And that wife who hung above him ia
pleading entreaty and passionate prayer
Hamlet could not have been as dear to
Ophelia as he to her. And the mother
she whose boy was electromagnetic drove
reason from the brain, and in listless mani
ty she plucked at trihes and looked with
incomprehensi wonder on the tragic
scene. A friend of the dead and of the be-
reaved told US the sorrcwful tale, and with
the vision of Nilsson yet fresh before Us,
we could not help thlnkin. how more thrill
ling, more terrible, was the scene in that
private dwelling in Watertown than the
splendid portrayal of passion N Milwaukee
Music Hall.
