Capitalization.


The cold rain storm of Saturday last caused the
trees and shrubbery throughout city and country
to become encased in thick coating of ice, with
pendant crystal. dropping from every branch and
twig in countless numbers and endless variety of
form and feature; and on Sunday morning, when
the bright and genial rays of the sun beamed
forth from cloudless sky, there appeared in full
display, without money and without price, one of
the most wonderful and gorgeous panoramas OF
beauty ever witnessed outside the gates of the
Celestial City. The entire surface of the earth
appeared like unto "a sea of glass" while the
brilliant adornings of all inanimate creation
trees fences, houses and waks-served to trans
form streets and parks into bowers of artistic beauty
scarcely excelled by the poets dream Of Elysian
slopes and shaded aisles of Paradise, before the
curse of sin had marred their enhancing beauty
and loveiness. Soon, however, the spring like
mildness of the atmosphere, intensified by the
radiant orb of day, changed this world of magic
and transcendant splendor into an ordinary pic
ture Of every day observation, demonstrating the
ever recurring experience of finite enjoyments-
that all things earthly shall fade as the leaf and
soon vanish away. But the remembrance of this
vision of delight Cannot be obliterated, and may
!
serve to give us exalted apprehensions Of immor-
tai ecstaces that shall ABIDE forevelmore. The
day throughout was one of natures lovsliest.
Astounding in the radiant sunshine and nvgorating
air of springtime. Indeed. could scarcely
realize that according to all well regulated astro-
nom;cal and cientfc calculations and demonstrs
tons. we were threading along through frigid
midwinter avenues, instead OF paths of vernal
beauty and ioyousness.
| Ano her pleasant surprise was reserved for
Monday morning, when the feathery April like
snow of the preceding night was shrouding with
an inspected mantle every spot which the
CRYSTALS had been removed, displaying a world
wide array of unsullied purity like unto a bound
less bouquet of apple blossoms, and lacking
nothing hut fragrant perfume to render the illusion
complete. We who dwell in these northern lati-
tudes are favored with frequent, natural and vast
panoramas such as could scarcely be obtained by
the wonderful combination of ten thousand kaleid-
oscopes of unheard Of magnitude and most bril-
liant intensity.
We learn that the temperance meeting Friday
evening last at the Good Templars' Hall, was
well attended, and the exercises were of an inter-
estng character. The design is to continue these

ANOTHER SUICIDE.
A German Hangs Himself in an Out
hOuSe.


The record of another suicide is to-day added to
the long list of selfmurders that have happened
in this city.
The suicide is Robert Elwert a German laborer
about forty-nine years old He has wife and six
children living at No. 81 Spring street. The eldest
OF the boys is eighteen years old and was out on
the streets looking for work when his father took
his life.
Elwert of late has been in the employ, off and
on, of George Weber the Sherffelect, at his store
on Main street. 1t seems that he had asked Mr.
Weber for q position of some kind in the Court
house, and that he was of the opinion that he
would be given place. Mr. Weber, however, the
other day was necessitated to refuse his request.
This made the man respondent. and having some
time ago received large sum OF money from ms
relatives in Germany he commenced spending II
at a fearful rate.
Yesterday morning the supply ran out and then
he made the first attempt Oh his life HIS Wlfe.
however, was on hand ana frustrated his designs.
This morning about 1l:20 o'clI ok, after having
gotten pitcher of beer he went to the clubhouse,
on the premises No. l01 Hunt street, and, tying an
almost rotten rope to staple in the door, about
| three feet from the ground, he put the moose
! around his neck AS the rope was only ABOUT Two
feet long, he had to kneel down to succeed In his
object After hanging some time his weight broke
| the rope and the man fell to the floor,
A young man named Henry Bordorf, who had
occasion to go to the place about II 80 o'clock,
| found the man still breathing. physician was
summoned but before his arrival Elwert was a
corpse.
Coroner Stich was notified. and had the body
removed to Habig's undertaking establishment.
An inquest was ordered and held this afternoon.
verdict was returned of death from suicide by
hailging."
