.CORRESPC NIENCE.
New Ulaa, April SD, 1879.

Editor Repiss0::
We have been waiting to hear from
those for whose special benefit the late
charivari was got up at the corner OF
Broadway and Fourth North streets;
but as no one has mentioned the mat.
ter in the Review, we now allude TO
the occurrence not because Of doubt
full success as musical entertainment,
but on account of the annoyance to
some few unappreciative ones poor
judges of music perhaps who labor
under the singular delusions that their
homes are their castles; that they have
a right to live nndisturbed by any col.
lection Of rowdies old or young; and
that laws are made to be enforced aid
will be promptly enforced by the proper
officers.
Noticing the majestic appearance of
our City Marshal and the ever vigilant
eye he keeps Oh outsiders who get \
little too much alcohol; noticing also
the valOr he displays in bouncing on
some poor farmer whose only crime
consists in his inability to walk on both
sides of the street at the same time;
noticing these things and feeling con-
vinced by the Marshal's manner that
he considers himself equal if not su
perior to Moltke in all that makes az
officer, these odd, unmusical creatures
are now sorely disappointed. They
thought it was part of that officers
duty to suppress all disorderly gather
inps and that, in doing so he would
deal as promptly with those young
town scamps who will be voters in !,
few years. as he has usually done with
comparatively inoffensive farmers.
But just there they were mistaken.
Our Marshal looks so closely for that
class of law breakers known as tramps
that he cannot be expected to see the
young law breakers around him. 10
he sure strict enforcement Of law
might be useful lesson and would
probably have a good effect on many
who now care nothing for the rights of
others; but Mr.. Gommel is not a teach.
err; it is not his business to present
crime; catching criminals is more pro.
fitable.
Our unmusical neighbors Of Fourth
North and Broadway must change
their views. BY commencing at once,
they may, when the next charivari oc.
ours, be able to imagine they hear the
Hessians or Gilmore's band. Tinpans
will possess new charms; the Swiss
bell ringers will be surpassed, shrieks
and cat-calls will be so exquisite]y
beautiful that only ears refined and
taste carefully cultivated will be able
to fully appreciate.
Nor must they forget the part taken
in these things by our ornamental
Marshal; or perhaps better say not tax.
en-.
And hereafter, when the gentle
evening breezes bear to their ears the
dulcet sounds of many cans, pans,
horns, bells, shrieks, groans, and cries
blending most harmoniously, they
should throw open their doors and
windows so that all parts of their
homes my be filled by the music un.
surpassed,
Should they happen to exclaim "The
Marshal's Band" they would but
echo the sentiments of Music.

To the Editor:
I have read in your paper statements
which do great injustice to the Osborne
Self-binder. I bought and used one Of
those binders to cut my crop last har-.
vest, and make this statement unasked
by any agent or other person but will
simply state the facts. My binder done
my work well and do not think any
other binder could have cut my grain
in the condition it was in.
I do not like to see such statements,
which do injustice to the best self bind-
ser in the world, and which may mislead
some farmers who intend to get bind.

Suicide.

The suicidal mania seems to have
become. epedelnic. Nearly every
paper we take up contains an &C.
count of some one that has ended
his or her earthly existence by self.
destruction. In this New Ulm, of
late, has kept pace with the balance of
the world, and below we give an &C.
count of the third suicide that has been
committed in this city within the last
few months.
Mrs. August Rabe, living ON Third
North street, north Of the railroad
track, is the subject of this item. She
committed suicide about o'clock last
Sunday morning by hanging herself to
the cellar stairs in her house. She was
discovered by her husband shortly at.
ter she committed the rash deed, who
promptly cut her down, but life was
already extinct. The evidence elected
by the coroner's jury is conclusive
that the woman has been deraEged
more or less for number. of months,
as she has endeavored to take her life
on three previous occasions. The first
time she was dected in an endeavor to
cut her throat with a butcher knife.
Shortly after she again tried to cut
her throat with razor, and latterly
she had procured some poison, which
| was taken from her. One of the
neighbors testified that she had some.
time labored under the impression tina,
her neighbors were all against her and
would injure her, and on Saturday she
told this neighbor that she was going
to put herself out of the world. The
jury rendered verdict that she came
to her death by strangulation, having
her body suspended by the neck with
a rope, which she herself adjusted
Mr.. Rabe, her husband is, an indus
trious man, a cooper by trade, working
in the Eagle Mill shops, and is to b
pitied in his very sad affection. Foul
small children will mourn the loss O
their mother, the oldest is ] years ol,
and the youngest Z weeks.

Some travellers in Columbia, South Amer
lea, in traversing an arid and desolate tract
of country, were struck with strange con-
trast. On one side there was barren des-
ert, on the other a rich and luxuriant veget-
citation. The French consul at Loreto, Mex
leo. says that this remarkable contrast is due
to the presence of the "Tamia caspi," or the
rain tree. This tree which grows to height
of 60 feet, with diameter of three feet at
its base, possesses the power of strongly at
tracing, absorbing, and condensing the hui
nudity of the atmosphere. Water is always
to be seen dripping from its trunk in such
quantities as to convert the surrounding soil
into veritable marsh. 1t is in summer es-
pecially, when the rivers are nearly dried up,
that the tree is most active. If this admir-
able quality of the rain tree were utilized in
the arid regions near the equator, the peo-
pie there living in misery on account of the
unproductive soil would derive great advan-
tages from its introduction, as well as the
people of more favored countries where the
climate is dry and droughts are frequent.

Rufus Choate, in an important marine
assault and battery-at-sea case, had Dick
Barton, chief mate of the clipper ship Chal-
lenge, on the stand, and badgered him so for
about an hour, that at last Dick got his salt

NapOleon's Parents.

The family of Bonapartes were of pure
Italian race; there was not drop of French
blood in any of them. Their ancestors came
from the mainland in the early history of
Corsica, and their names are found in the re-
mote annals of Ajaccio. Carlo Bonaparte was
a poor gentleman of excellent breeding and
character, who married in his youth young
and romantic girl named Letizia Ramolino,
who followed him in his campaigns up to the
moment of the birth of Napoleon. 1t is
impossible to say how much the history of
Europe owes to the high heart and indomit-
able spirit of this sodierly woman. She
never relinquished her authority in her fam
lily. When all her children were princes and
potentates, she was still the severe, stern
Madame Mere. The beauty and grace of
Josephine Beauharnais never conquered her,
the sweet Tyrolese prettiness of Maria Louisa
won from her only sort Of contemptuous
indulgence. When her mighty son ruled
the continent, she was the only human being
whose chidings he regarded or endured. She
was faithful in her rebukes while the sun
shone, and when calamity came, her
devoted to the fallen. Her provincial
habit of economy stood her in good stead in
her vigorous old age; she was rich when the
cilpIc ndu pdbscu away, anu Hci Sidiiu-
children needed her aid. 1t must have been
from her that Napoleon took his extraordi-
nary character, for Carlo Bonaparte, though
brave soldier and an ardent patriot in his
youth, was of an easy and genial temper, in
clined to take the world as he found it, and
not to insist too much on having it go in his
especial way. After the cause of Corsican
liberty was lost by the success of the French
arms, he accepted the situation without re-
greet, and becoming intimate with the con-
querors, he placed as many of his family as
possible on the French pension list. His sons
Napoleon and Louis, were given scholar
ships at Brienne and at Autun, and his eldest
daughter, Elise, entered the royal institu-
ton at st. Cyr. While yet in the prime Of
life, he died of the same deadly disease which
was to finish Napoleons days at st. Helena;
and the heroic mother, her responsibilities
becoming still heavier by this blow, lived fol
eight years longer amid the confusion and
civil tumult which had become chronic in
Corsica; and then, after the capture of the
island by the English in 1793 she made hel
escape with her children to Marseilles, where
she lived several years in great perjury.

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

Let cones be by-gones; If by cones clouded
By aught that occasions a pang of regret,
o let them In darkest oblivion be shrouded;
IT'S wise aud It's kind TO forgive and forget
Let y-gones be by-gones, and good be extracted
From III over which 10 Is folly to fret;
The wsest of mortals have foolishly acted
The kindest those who forgive aud forget
Let by cones be by -gones; o cherish no longer
The thought that the sun of affection has set;
Eclipsed for "a moment its rays will be stronger
II you like q Christian forgive aud forget.
Let cones be by gones your heart will be lighter
when Kindness of yours with reception has met;
The flame Of your love will be purer aud brighter
II, 1iod-iike, you strive to forgive and forget,
Let by-gones be by-gones; purge out the leaven
OF malice and try an example to set
To others, who, craving the mercy Of Heaven,
Are sadly too slow to forgive aud forget
Let by cones be by-goues; remember how deeply
To Heavens forbearance we all are in debt:
Value Gods Infinite goodness too cheaply,
Who heed not the precept "forgve aud forget"
