Died of Grief.

\ touching story comes from Mem
phis. An old man, Peter Bean by
name, II weli-digger in the locality for
something like thirty years, had a dog
Of which he was very fond. Peterwas q
bachelor, and he lived n lonely life.
The only thing he tenderly fOndled was
the dog who shared his bed and who
divided with his master the frugal meal.
Well, the dog, which was nearly
always by Peters side, was large and
powerful of frame, and cheerful and
playful i'll disposition. 1t seemed to
love its master with that perfect, en-
during love that crowds all less weighty
objects from the heart. One day it was
separated IA few hours from the old
man. Peter was patiently labOring at
the bottom of the well, when he family
heard the joyful bark of his favorite.
He looked up; there was a swift glance
of recognition. and then the light went
out of the well-digger's eyes forever.
! The eager rush Of the dog to greet its
master displaced q heavy bucket and
sent it crashing down upon Peters head.
\ few minutes after the battle-worn
man was dragged to the surface n bleeding
/ corpse. With piteOus howls the faithful
! animal licked the ugly wounds, but the
I fond caress could not reanimate the fast
/ stiffening body. The man was laid out
in his shroud, but before the grave
/ closed over the human form the dog
was also dead. 1t had stretched itself
before the cold clay of its master and
moaned out its life in grief. 1t is a sad
story silvered DER with touching beauty.
If we celebrate in verse the death oi
Panthea, who slew herself upon the
the corpse of her beloved Abradatas
why should we not drop a word oI
sympathy for the dog who refused tc
live because his master had died?

With o bvckler and sword into battle
1 moved, was matchless and strong:
I stood in the rush and the rat tile
OF shot, aud the spirit of song
Was upon me, and youthful and splendid
NY armor flashed far in the sun
As ! sang Of my land. 1t is ended,
And all has been done-and undone.
Tonight bend down on the plain
In the dark, and memory vrenches
The soul. turn up to the rain
The cold and the beautiful faces
Aye, faces forbidden for years
Turned up to my face with the traces
OF blood to the white rain of tears.
Count backward the years your fingers
While forward rides yonder white moon,
Till the soul turns aside, and it fingers
By grave that born of June
By the grave of the soul, where the grasses
Are tangled as witch-woven hair,
And where footprints are not, and where passes
Not any thing known anywhere.
BY grave without tombstone or token,
At tomb where fern-eaf fir,
Root or branch once bended or broken
To bestow there the body of her;
For ii lives, and the soul perished only,
And alone in that land, with these hands,
Did lay the dead soul, and all lonely
Does it lie 10 this day in the sands
Lo! Wild little maiden with tresses,
OF gold on the wind of the hills;
AYE, q wise little maiden. that gueSses
Some good in the crueleSt ills;
And babe, with his baby fists doubled
And thrust To- my beard and within,
And he laughs like fountain half troubled.
When my fingers chuck under his chin.
Should the dead not decay when the culture
Of fields be resumed in the May?
Lo tie days are dark-winged the yulture.
Let them swOOp, then, and bear them away.
By the walks let me cherish red flowers.
BY the wall teach one tendrii to run.
Lest wake and watch all the hours,
l shall ever under the sun.
II is well, maybesO, TO bear losses,
And to bend aud bow down to the rod.
Ii the scarlet red bars and the crosses
Be rounds up the ladder to God.
But this mOcking of men All that enters
The marrow; the bowling of Hell
In return for my song love that centerS,
Vast land, upon thee, is not well.
And go, thanking God in my going
That ocean flows stormy and deep:
And yet gentler to is its flowing
Than the storms that forbid me to sleep
And 1 60 thanking God with hands lifted,
That a land lies beyond, where the free
And the giant of heat and the gifted
OF soul have home in the sea.

Got shot on the Fourth. ''-Th,

The Fourth of July will always be 4
day of accidents. It were we'll that
death roll be made out every anna
versary day, that the future boys and
girls, and even men may be induced to
exercise little care in celebrating, the
nation over.
Perhaps our people have all heard
Of the litfle afflir at Warmers on the
recent s'fDurtH - how a good looking
young man full of life and with the
world before him full of rich promise,
got shot On the evening of the eventful
day. The facts are these. He step
ped into the store, walked up to the show
case, where were deposited a dozen or
more silver plated revolvers and in
quired the prices of them.
Mr. Stanburry toldhim the prices, va
rying from two to fifteen dollars, when
he requested the privilege Of esamiu-
ing them. To this Mr.. s. made no
objection, and handed him one sup
posing it was not loaded The man
then asked the price Of some pigeon
shot in view. Mr.. s. told him it was
eight cents a pound, when the fellow
snid he acou!d take t'co pounds and a
half hautting Mr.. S. t~enty cents, re-
marh;ing that 1t 'ras accidental, that he
Didn't think Of getting shot ~hen he
came into the store. Now we don't
charge Warner anything for telling
about this accident. Nora!, Don't 90
into a hardware store if you don't
want to get shot, without you want
something else in the hardware line.

Burglary at Waupaca and New

London. gang of burglars last
Saturday night "went through" Wau-
paca, making a good thing. After en-
tering several stores and saloons, they
entered Mr.. Nordvi's Drug Store and
att empted to force the safe with nitro
glycerine. They however, charged to
heavy, and the door of the safe was
blown through the front of the store
taking the front with it into the street.
There was considerable money in the
safe, but as the discharge frightened
them away they failed to procure it.
On Monday night, the same gang
"went through New London. They
went into saloon on the south side
first, and failing to find any money,
they went to the residence of the own
er, chloroformel him, and took $40.
from under his pillow. They then
went to the north side, procured some
tools at blacksmith shop, and then
entered Messrs Dickinson & Traycer' S
Drug Store. and carried the safe out,
and into an clubhouse where they OPEN
ed it at their leisure with nitro glycer-
inc, procuring $40. No parties are
suspicioned. The rascals seem to be
coming this way. 1t were we'll that
we prepare for them, and give them a
warm reception

An Industry TINT can be made

q
a ,,ig Success. We alIude to She
manufacture Of paper from popple
wood. At Appleton there is an extern
sive man 1factory, turning out tons of
this commodity, and selling it to the
various pape~ mills all over the west,
south and east. The amount Of CAPT
tai required t. successfully establish
the business is tri .fing, and the returns
from such an industry cannot be other
wise than sure, for the demand far
more than equals the supply. The
process Of manufacture is exceedingly
simple Although we have never seen
the paper manufactured, we can give
passibly correct description Of the pro-
cess. The sticks of the the popple,
cut the proper length, probably ten or
twelve inches long are placed above
large revolving grind stone, and kept
in their position by a powerful weight
suspended from the long arm Of lev
er, strong wall of either iron or wood
keeping the blocks from being carried
over the stone. Upon the blocks Is
continually falling streams of water
preventing the generating OF heat by
friction, and serving to carry off the
"neaJ iuto huge reservoirs prepared
for its reception. Through these res
ervoirs passes large belts gathering
the meal and depositing it upon huge
drum, wnere it is severed by man
who stands with huge knife, ready to
clip the sheet-or paper belt 1t were
better to call it,--when a sufficient
quantity has accumulated upon the
drum. This is then removed, dried,
and packed ready to be delivered to
the paper mills all over the country,
and out of which, now, in lieu OF rags,
is made our finest note, legal, letter
and commercial paper. The mill at
Appleton is doing an enormous busl-
ness, and the "popple' hitherto con-
siderel almost worthless, has become
SO valuable as to command prlce
reaching as high as five and six dollars
a cord. Wood Co has acres OF this
popple. Why cannot this novel; but
money paying industry be established
in our city, and along our river! Our
waterpower is becoming rusty tor the
want Of just such enterprises. what
makes cities and thrift are these IN
dustries. Nature has given US the
grind stone, she only asks that we shall
turn the crank.

shown new, and improved waterwheel
last week, by Mr. Crane of Princeton.
It's tiame is the Northwestern Turbine
wheel. Its peculiar advantage over
every other consists in its having an
independent gate which obyiates a
difficulty existing in every wheel ever
before made. If any obstacle, Or OBJ
structio, such as flood trash enters the
wheel, all the gate, can be closed ex-
cepting the one through which the OBJ
struction entered, thereby allowing itsre-
moval in brief time and with scarcely any
delay. 1t is the only wheel in existence
possessing this merit Messrs. Davis

The Leslie Concert This troupe
gave a concert at Music Hall last Mon
day night, to full house. Owing to
the extreme heat we did not attend
and therefore rely upon the expressed
opinions of our best judges Of music
for Il concert report of the troup's mer-
its or dement's. The concert cave
very poor satisfaction. The selections
were old. many Of them, and the style
Of execution far from pleasing. Mrs.
Leslie was detained at home by friends
from abroad, consequently our people
listened to trio instead ola 9uartetts
We would just hint to Manager Les
lie that travelling troupe, whether
they be from some Wisconsin town or
from the South, does very foolish
thing, when it allows uJe's company
to interfere with its engagements But
perhaps it were better SO, for three
fourths of whole were better than
the complete whole, if the other one
fourth can lay no claim to excellence.
We don't critici5e the troupe in any
feeling Of malice, we only do cur duty
when We say that public opinion says
it was the poorest musical performance,
promising great things, that has ever
visited our city. We have some good
musical critics The day is gone by
when Grand Rapids can be tickled TO
death with hand-oryan it wants the
highest grade of music and we assure
friend Leslie our people can appreciate
just this quality. We charge Mana
ger Leslie nothing for this notice, and
We hereby promise to honor his draft

WISCONSIN VALLEY r. Ron
Monday of last week we had the pleas
ure of our first ride over the W. Y.
r r. from Touah to Grand Rapids,
and were agreea5Iy surprised at the
elegant equipments Of the road in every
particular. The track IS the most even
level, and easy running, that we ever
rode over, the passenger coaches are ele-
gantly fitted up, and everything in cou-
nection with the road is entirely new
and first class The business Of tie road
is eavy considering the shortness of
the line and the sparsely settled coun-
try through which it passes.
TIE Co have been OBLIGED to run two
or three extra passenger trains already
to ACCOMMODATE lumbermen for the up
per Wisconsin,.
The Freight business Of this road
is destined to be immense, opening as
it will the vast numbering districts of
northern Wisconsin, to close communi-
cation with the vast prarles of Iowa,
Minnesota, and the south west, where
the supply of lumber will never equal
the demand. Already much lumber is
shipped over this line, and the local
freight traffic is quite large.
The rcad makes soiiie very Important
connections at Grand Rapids it ferns
connection with the Green Bay & Lake
Pepin r. r., and we think the people
Of Green Bay should look to it that
they secure the wheat trade Of this
section over their new connections
and as they are some 200 miles nearer
the eastern markets Lake-than
Chicago. and considerable nearer this
place than Chicago or Milwaukee,
Green Bay can, and undoubtedly will,
make an effort to control the grain
