MERRILL, WIS, March 1.-The facts
concerning the recent murder which oc-
Cured at the LIE Claire bagnio are as
follows: 1t seems that Hewlett visited
the house and became involved in a row
with the inmates, smashed the furniture
and kicked in the doors. On Monday
evening he returned with some cronies
for the avowed purpose of cleaning out"
the concern, and commenced operations
by assaulting the man of the house, LIE
Claire. A desperate fight ensued in
which Hewlett was getting the better of
LIE Claire. Hewlett had LIE Claire on
the floor and was choking him. The
latter called for help when LIE Claire's
wife, or mistress, rushed in, presented q
revolver at the head of Hewlett and fred.
The bullet entered the brain behind the
ear, killing him instantly. The woman
was arrested and furnished $1,000 bail to
appear at the preliminary examination.
Hewlett was desperate of the lowest
type, and has been engaged in number
less rows at different places along the
river. He was shot three times in row
in this city not long since, but without
serious injury. The prevailing senti-
ment is that bad man has met his Just
reward,

YANKEES IN RUSSIA.

Hating the Germans, looking down on
the French, and disliking the English,
the Russians seem to reserve all their
goodwill for Americans. With them
American" or "Yankee" is the synonym
of ipdomitable energy, of intrepid enter.
prise, of wonderful ability, and Of frank
truth telling. They call their OWE best
engineers, inventors and discoveries
yankees" by way of compliment. M.
Gablochkoff, the inventor of the electric
candle, and Col. Prje7alsky, the bold
Asiatic explorer. are sample Russian
Yankees.
Once I was talking with Russian
friend about the possible destiny of our
globe. "There is no need of worrying
ourselves about the fate of the globe, " he
said, 'for there can be no serious danger
for her so long as she has on board our
transatlantic friends. If q collision with
some other planet should threaten her.
the Yankee would at once rig up rud-
der, sails, or some other device, and get
her out of the scrape."
The Russians are particularly charmed
with the democratic manners of Ameri-
cans. These appeal to a characteristic
national trait of the Russians themselves.
They despise from the bottom of their
hearts all pretension, arrogance, and
walking on stills. That is why the Rus
slams stretch friendly hands to the people
across the ocean, in spite of the abyss
that lies between their government and
that of the Union.

THE NERVOUS AMERICAN.

The greatest maker OF telescopes is
Alvan Clark, of Cambridgeport, Mass.
He is now engaged in making larger
instrument than any ever before attempt
ed. That part of the work requiring the
greatest skill is lens grinding, of which
one who visited the factory says:
The process OF lens grinding, SO far as
it goes, is very interesting one. The
glass itself has been heretofore obtained
from Chance & Co., of Birmingham, Eng
land, but now is received from Paris.
The glass from which small lenses are
made is generally cast in thick sheets,
while that for the largest ones comes in
disks, slightly convexed. The first rough
grinding of the larger glasses is done by
machinery, the grindstone being rap
idly revolving equatorial conceived iron
wheel, over which small stream Of vs.
ter and granulated iron is kept running.
This wears away the glass very fast,
preparing it for the second process,
which is finer grinding with iron tools
and emery. Then follows the special
local work of correcting the spherical
alterations of the glass. This work is
principally done by Alvan G. Clark, the
son, and his brother, George B. Clark,
although there is one man in their employ
who is capable of doing it. This local
application is more than half of the work
on large glasses, and requires knowl-
edge which years ane. experience alone
give. It is a very slow operation, as the
glass has to be slightly warmed, taken
to the observation room, there tested
and corrected. An observation cannot
be taken oftener than once in two hours,
consequently but little can be done in a
day. The observation room has to be
kept cold and dark, and working in it is
very disagreeable. The last operation
on the glass itself is that of polishing,
which is done with pitch and rouge, days
and even weeks being necessary to bring
it to it's required condition.
A singular fact connected with this
establishment is, that all the workmen
employed are foreigners, but one, and
for the reason, as Mr.. Clark says. that
Americans are too nervous to do the ex-
act work required, such as dividing a
small metal circle into 40 parts. This
dimiaishes somewhat the credit which
would otherwise attach to the country
for making the largest and best telescopes
in the world, for it seems we can only do
it by the aid of foreign workmen. There
is one establishment of this kind at Mu
Mich, one at Dublin, and one at York,
England; but they are hardly competi-
tors of Clark, who has a world wide
reputation for special skill in this bust
ness. To his peculiar genius we owe the
fact that such an establishment exists at
all in this country.

GERMANY would be very poor place
for American merchants to do business
in. Several wealthy and important retail
merchants of Berlin were arrested and
prosecuted for fraud during the holidays
for displaying placards bearing such an
nouncements as "Selling off the Entire
Stock" "Goods Slightly Damaged by
Fire." ETC. The prosecutor brought evil
dence to show that these assertions were
purely fiction used as inducements to
buy, and the court sustained the charge
of fraud.

Who is this man with the long. thin

low, flowing hair2 His name is Oscar
Wilde. One day when the superintend-

and took him before a magistrate who
asked him his name.
'By the misty eyelids of the moon 1
cannot tell you," answered the prisoner.
"Mamma would not like it,
From that moment he became famous.
For breakfast he sips The dew from
honeysuckles, and his dinner consists of
roast lily bugs favored with lavender
water. Half a dozen sachet bags and
ten trunks constitute his baggage. The
trunks contain locks of hair which be
purchased cheap at Surrey rope walk.
No fashionable American girl will be long
without one. His soul yearns after SUM-
flowers. Give him his choice between a
sdnfower and greenback and he will
take the greenback. In Chicago he is
destined to be most popular-his feet are
SO large. When the returns to his native
land loaded with rocks his "mamma"
will say to him:
"Oskie, the fortunes of the family are
much improved. want new sealskin

worshipper will depart from her saying:
