Margaret Fuller,s Iutenseness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson had returned
from Europe, had recovered his health,
had married a second time, had settled
at Concord, and he and | gotten over
being shy with each other; but he had
not gotten on as well with Margaret
Fuller. Margaret wrote poetry, and
people laughed about it, and said she
wrote it in fits of ex~altation, which she
called Intense times" This gave MIR.
Emerson, who was very simple and nat
ural, prejudice against her.
One day, when visiting at her house,
| expressed the wish that he could know
Margaret better.
Mrs Emerson, who is the soul of dis
interested kindness, proposed at once
that Margaret be invited to come to
their house.
"Oh, no." cried Mr.. Emerson; Il
don't want to know a lady who has in
tense times and writes poetry in them
Then | went on and told how | had
had the same prejudice; how it all mel
ted away when | conversed with her,
and how, in talking with me, she had
made the whole universe look larger. At
this assurance Mr.. Emerson's face sud
denly lighted, and turning to his wife,
he exclaimed:
Eyes Q~ueenie, you are right. Invite
her by all means. Let us welcome any
young woman whose converse can make
the whole universe look larger to u.s.

Obituary.

ASHTON, Mimi, August 20, 1882
Died at his home near Ashton. August
6, Mr.. Henry Newick, aged fifty-nine
years and months, after a painful
illness of four months. He came to this
county in the spring of 1872, and had
weathered the storms and tides with the
rest of the early settlers. He was of
English birth and education, and was a
mar who possessed many admirable
traits of character and possessed a kind
and benevolent disposition. He will be
greatly missed in this community, in
which he lived and died. He was con-
scious 10 the last, when he called his be-
loved wife to his bedside and babe her
farewell. Ashort time before his death
he expressed perfect confidence that he
would realize the bliss of the unknown
spirit world. and his last words were. AS
he held the hand of his bruken-hearted
young wife. Il am resting in Jesus"
The funeral services took place at the
school house at Ashton, on tuesday af-
ternoon. and were conducted by the Rev.

In MemOrium.

Died OF Pulmonary Consumption at
Montfort Wis, Aug. 2nd. 1882, Bro.
Gottfried Hess, in the 5Sth. year of his
age.
Bro. Hess was born in Prussia. Ger
many, in 1924. From seven TO fourteen
years of age he attended the public
schools OF his native place and acquired
a fair education. At fourteen years of
age he commenced to learn the trade of
wheelwright, at which he served a term
OF seven years. At the age of twenty
two years he enlisted and served four
years in the Prussian army.
Bro. Hess came to the Quilted States
in 1850. He lived for a few months in
Pittsburg, thence to Milwaukee, until
the spring of 1851, when he came to
Grant County and located in Monfort in
1892, since which time he has been a
resident of this place-a term of nearly
thirty years. He enlisted in the 44th.
Wis. Volunteers Jan. 18th. 1865 and
served until the close of the war, receiv-
ing an honorable discharge.
Bro. Hess joined the Masons at High
land Wis, in 1864, and shortly after
became a member of Ferrin Lodge of
this place, and was chiefly instrumental
in founding the Lodge of which he was
an active and enthusiastic member until
within a short time of his death.
He was three times elected Master of
his Lodge, and discharged the duties of
his Office with honor and fidelity to the
craft. To his untlring zeal and devotion
in ne cause of Free-Masonry. and his
unremitting labor for the promotion of
the welfare of the craft, the Lodge of
which he was a worthy member is in
debted for its growth and prosperity.
As a Mason he was ever characterized
by the practice of those valuable tenets
OF u order, Friendship, Morality, and
b~rotherly Love, and of that cardinal
virtue Charity, he was a fitting example
ever ready to contribute his share to the
poor and needy, and render assistance
to the suffering and distressed.
AS a man, he was true and faithful to
his friends, morally upright in his walk
Though life, honest and conscientious in
his dealings with his fellow men, a good
citizen, a kind and affectionate husband
and father.
In the death of our late worthy Bro
Their, Masonry MOURN one of its bright
est lights, and the community in which
he lived has lost one of its best citizens.
As a tribute of respect to the memory
OF our departed Brother be it
ReSOlced: That a copy hereof be
spread upon the Record Of our Lodge;
that the same be furnished his widow
and relatives under the seal of the
Lodge, as well as to the press of this
County for publication.
Resolved: That to his family in their
bereavement, we tender our sincere
sympathy, with the u that while
they mourn the less of one to them most
dear. we also that of a true brother and
friend.

No Need Fer Anxiety.

"Oh Lord. how long," The Witness
in its last issue contained two more COM
municationS on the Sisley matter. one
from DR.. Robertson and one from Squire
keene who goes for his traducers with
his gloves off. While The HERALD is
strongly of the opinion that the county
has had quite enough of this ease for the
present it will trcspass on the good
nature Of its readers long enough to
correct u misrepresentation of facts which
has some way crept out in relation
to the employment of assistant counsel
for the prosecution and which does an
injustice 10 the county officials. Messrs.
Carter and Bell were employed by Mr..
Bickford on his own motion and were
paid BY him at the close of the trial.
The statement has gone forth, whether
m~aliciously or not, that these gentlemen
were paid by the county. Such is not
the case, and as an act of simple justice
we make the correction.

Wouldn't Gpf n DeIprata.

Judge Tarbell tells the following good
joke on himself A short time after his
retirement from the BENCH he happened
to meet an old friend whom he had not
seen for some time. The Judge, all
smiles and heartiness. ~effervesced over
his friend in such a way as to provoke
the inquiry:
What office are you a candidate for
now, Judge?n
The Judge made a deprecatory move
ment with an outward turned palm and
said
For none at all, my dear brother.
I'm simply a candidate for the kingdom
of heaven"
His friend regarded him sorrowfully
for an instant, and then with more wit
than %politeness, and more profanity
than either, said:
I'm bet you don't carry a ID town
shipr'
Doubtless the Judge lost sight of the
mans profanity in admiration of his
sublimely truthful candor.

A Dangerous Divinity.

One of Jonathan Edwards daughters
who had some spirit of her own, had
also a proposal of marriage. The youth
was referred to her father. mo" said
that stern individual, ''you can't have
my daughter" ''But | love her and
she loves me- pleaded the young man.
Cant have herr said the father. IL
am well-to-do and can support her."
exclaimed the applicant. Cant have
her!' PERSISTED the old man. MAY |
ask" meekly inquired the sutton, '.if
you have heard anything against my
c~haracter?' .'Nor" Numbered the OBJ
stinate parent, by this time aroused; II
haven't heard anything against you, |
think you are a promising young man,
ndthat's why you can't have her. She's
got a very high temper, and you would
MT be happy with herr The lover,
amazed, said: "Why, Mr.. Edwards! |
thought Emily was n Christian. She is
a Christian, isn't she?" Certainly she
is, "growled the conscientious parent,
but young man, when you grow older
you'll be able to understand that there's

live with that you can't!'-Congre-

Before the Fight.

As the time for holding the county
convention draws neal the minds of the
numerous candidates wander further
and further from that peaceful and hap
py frame which is laid down by writers
ON longevity as n Of the prerequisites
to a green old age. What per cent. of a
crop of delegates the candidate will
have is OF much more Importance to
him, at this particular moment, than
the effect of the warm weather on the
corn. He would much rather pre-
fer to see his opponent well threshed
than his oats. The anxious seat is
crowded. and although the mourners
are not so numerous as they will be
later, there is no discount on the inte-
rest manifested.
As our readers may like a glance at
the field we give the names of the can
didates for the different offices, but eau
ton those Of a sporting frame of mind
that it may be cold weather for favor
ties.
For Sheriff the following names are
entered Ora Richards. Lancaster; Jap
Rewey, Platteville; JAS, Barnett, Bosco-
bel; John Dolphin. Glen Haven; Anton
Schmitt, Lancaster; Lewis Better.
Patch Grove.
For Clerk Of the Court. Herman Buch-
ncr, Lancaster, present incumbent, and
\. G.. Morse. Fennimore.
For Register of Deeds. w. p. Durley,
Paris, present incumbent; Geo. Nevins,
Bloomington; o. $. Jones, Harrison: n.
Bradbury, Plattevillc, and Lester Bough-
ton, CaSsvillc.
For Treasurer, ThoS. Watson, Clifton;
Thos. Mcmahon, Harrison; Geo. Kin
ney, Potosi; Alexander Cairns, Mt.
Hope.
This completes the list of fighting of
iices. For District Attorney no other
name has been mentioned but that of
the present incumbent, X. G.. Orr. For
County Clerk the present occupant 81
that office, c. w. Hill. will have the field
all to himself. The offices Of County
Surveyor and Coroner appear to have
attracted no attention, and tie present
officials are likely to have clear sailing
10 n second term.
II is particularly noticeable in the
above list. and worthy of comment a,
something of which the county can wei
be proud, that the names are those OF
gentlemen each and all. Whatever ma
be individual preferences in favor Of
any II candidate. or set Of candidates.
none can DENY that, let the nomination.
fall where they may, the county is rs.
sured beforehand that the different of.
fees will be ably and satisfactorily
filled.
Some Of the town caucuses to cleo,
delegates to the conventions were held
last Saturday and the remainder will
convene next Saturday. What the out
come of the convention will be is more
than any political prophet cares to tao
kle. The race is going to be a hot one.
but no dark horses need apply. If any
such are in training they may as well be
at once blanketed and led back TO the
stable. The present field is sufficient to
capture all the purses.
