A LOAD OF REMORSE.
A Fathers Letter to the Acciden.
tai Slayer of His Son.

Mr.. Carl WuIsteu, the father o
Herman Wulstsn, young mAn who
was accidentally killed by bis school.
mate, William Watson, at Brinker In
stitute, arrived from Rosita yesterday
morning. Upon viewing the body of
his dead boy the father was overcome
with grief, and at first it was feared
ne would do violence to those when
be felt were blAmeable for the ira
gedy, and he demanded to see the boy
who fred the unfortunate shot. But
after some time, under the influence
OF his friends, who gave him good
counsel, his passion subsidized and his
manner changed from that OF re-
proschfulness to a kindly and SORROW
ing conference with Mr.. Brinker
concerning the sad affair.
When the news reached Mrs. Wat
son that Mr.. Wulsten desired to see
her son she became greatly alarmed,
and the shock Frustrated her With
violent spasms, and her symptoms
were for an hour or more so alarming
that the services OF physician were
necessary. Later in the day the
following correspondence was had
between young Watson and Mr.. Wul-
stem:
Denver, May 27.-Mr. Wulsten:
On yesterday I thoughtlsssly killed
poor Herman. May God help you
and his poor mother to bear it, and
forgive me for taking OF that which l
would give my own life to return.
/ want to see you, but the doctor says
/ must not. by mother, from sheer
physical fear, is on the verge of Apo.
plexy, and any added excitement
would surely kill her. Idon't know
what to do or how to turn-Hermsn,
his mother, my mother, ell possibly
killed by me. lis more than l can
bear, Mr.. Wulssen, and for Gods
sake help me to bear the lead. Don't
come here. 1t can do no good, and
may do much harm. Words are weak
and poor. Your sorrow is beyond
their reach, but pity nae, pity
me, and help me to bear it.
w. A. WATSON.
In response, Mr.. Watson sent the
fol owing words OF kindness and COM
tort:
Denver, May 81, 1882.-Willism
A. Watson-My poor boy: am
very sorry that. through circum-
stances, you have been the innocent
cause of my poor Herman's death.
God forbid that should upbrsld you,
for you have load to carry all your
lifetime. would like to see you and
your poor mother, AID try to comfort
you both. It is hard to lose child
thus, but it is done, and cannot now be
helped. Rest assured that I, however
stunned I feel, have but kindly feel

and he was IN a state of great mental
agony when he called upon the

Washington Sensation.

WASHINGTON, March II. The most
astounding disclosures have been made
before the House Committee which Is
auditing the funeral expenses of Presi-
dent Garfield. 1t appears that the ex-
penses Of the representatives who ac-
companied tho remains to Cleveland,
exclusive of railroad fare, were $1,000.
These included hotel expenses at Cleve-
land aud an item of $1,000 for brandies,
whisky, cigars, aud lunch obtained in
Washington. In the liquor account
there Is one specified account of $500
for Cocktails" that term being used,
Many members put in individual Hills
for expenses in reaching Cleveland and
were paid. The committee of arrange
ments was so exclusive that no repre-.
sentatives of the press were allowed TO
accompany the train, the agent of the
Associated Press even being excluded.
1t undoubtedly has been expected that
these facts would not come to the
knowledge of the public.

1t Is predicted by the Chicsgo Tri.
bune that the territory included within
the northern third of Illinois, the
southern quarter of Wisconsin, and the
entire state of Iowa, in all ninety
thousand square miles, is to be the
greatest garden for dairy products in
the world. BY actual experiments, 1t
is said, the fact has been ascertained
that the farmers receive about fifty per
cent. of the commercial value of what
they produce in the form of grain, but
when they use the land for pasturage
and turn their attention to dairy pro.
ducts the net receipts amount to ninety
per cent. The climate and soil OF this
extensive region are represented as pc.
culiarly adapted for pasturage and the
manufacture of butter and cheese.

U'Some correspondent of the Troy

who has represented Vergennes in the
legislature is to elect himself a senator

vantage ground push his pet idea of
making the sale Of whisky respecta-

gossip, since the people of Addison

The CASE OF SERGEANT MASON
Judge Advocate General Swain has
made a report to the Secretary Of War
upon the case of Sergeant Mason, in
which Il is understood he recommends
a modification of the latter's sentences.
The ground upon which he bases this
Recommendation Is that Gui,eau was
not in position where he could posi-.
bly, have been killed by Mason when the
latter fired the shot, and that under
such circumstances the charge of assault
with intent to kill cannot be sustained.
This view of the case is said to be sup.

Yesterday. A post-morten examina.

it actually touched the heart. This
organ had become much discolorcd, as
every movement of the COW forced the
