preston, used to signify tie uncer-
tainty, Of all hopes or expect tons,
however near their fulfilment may
apparently be. Origin: According
to an ancient author, the phrase
arose thus: A king of Thrace had
planted a vineyard, when one Of
his slaves, whom he had much
Oppressed in that very work, proph-
esied that he, (the king) should
never taste the wine produced by it.
The king disregarded the prophecy
and when, at all entertainment he
held the cup full of his own wine,
he sent for his slave, and asked
him, insulting, what he thought of
his prophecy now? The. slave
only answered There's many a
slip between the cup and the lip,
Scarcely had he spoken, when news
was brought that q large bear was
laying the vineyard waste. The
king put down the cup, arose in a
fury, attacked the bear. and was
killed without tasting the wine.

TIE Circus

Sells Brothers circus and menagerie
exhibited in this city Monday. The
weather was fine and the large crowds in
from the surrounding country made the
day lively one. The canvas was well
filled at the afternoon performance, but
the attendance in the evening was much
smaller. On the whole the management
was well pleased with the patronage the
show received here. The menagerie con-
tanned fine collection of animals, all in
good condition. Of course the pair of
hippopotami were the most attractive
feature in this department of the con-
Germ. The ring performance was very
good, the horsemanship, acrobatic exhi>
bition, bicycle riding and dog show
being especially excellant and above the
average to be seen. The street display
was generally unfavorably criticized, the
vehicles and paraphernalia needing re.
plenishing badly. little more courtesy
among some of the attaches might also
be recommended, although some of those
that we met were most agreeable and
pleasant gentlemen. The show went
from here to Madison.

his death was not therefore wholly un-

Nutting was widower, his wife having

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The democrats of Fond du Lac are
endeayoring to create quite a boom
for General Bragg for Congress. There
is every likelihood of another lively time
over the nomination this year. Con.
gresham Sumner looms up as new and
by no means Insignificant factor in the
fight. His course in Congress although
by no means brilliant, has been quiet and
unobtrusive, netting him, perhaps, on the
whole, some friends while making him no
positive enemies. Of course he will 90
into the convention backed up by his
own county. Dodge is not so certain of
backing up Delaney as it did two years
ago. Washington at best is divided be.
tween Bragg and Delaney. Fond du
Lac may be relied upon to be solid for
the doughty little general, and 80 we
have mixed up condition of things in

disputed that General Bragg has lost
considerable following with the Irish
since the Chicago Convention, his treat.

to help Delaney to any great extent.

Drowning of Req. l.. o. IhOnsD

By far the most melancholy event of a
local character we have ever been called
upon to chronicle is the death by drown.
ing of Rev. L. 0. Thompson and his
only son and child, Sidney, aged about
IA years. The only particulars we have
Of the sad affair are briefly outlined in
the following dispatch:
HENRY. H., July 16.-The Rev. L.O.
Thompson, in company with his son
Sidney and Freddie Bishop, of Medina,
N. Y. lads about IL years of age, were
out boating and fishing on the Illinois
river, at this point, this afternoon, and
nearing the dam across the river. the
skif was drawn into the eddies and cap
sized. All three were drowned. Mr..
Thompson was the pastor of the Presby.
terrain church here and was a popular
preacher, author and scholar. None of
the bodies have yet been recovered.
The deceased gentleman came to this
city some Is years ago and was engaged
as a teacher in the Northwestern Univer.
slty. He was subsequently president of
the institution, holding the position with
credit for several years when he removed
to Indianapolis, Indiana, and engaged in
literary work publishing several books,
among them "The Presidents and their
Administrations. For some time be
filled the pulpit of the First Presbyteri-
an church at Peoria, Illinois, the church
of which Bishop McLaren, of Illinois, was
pastor before entering the Episcopal body.
A few years since Rev. Mr.. Thompson
removed to Henry, Illinois. where he
had charge of the Presbyterian Church
at the time of his death. He was born
in Norway, but came to the United States
when quite young and graduated at Be-
lott College. His age was about As years.
While resident of this city he married
Miss Mary Coe, oldest daughter of O. K.
Coe, now resident of indianapolis. In
her double bereavement, through the loss
of her husband and only child under the
distressing circumstances narrated, she
has the warm and heartfelt sympathy of
her wide circle of acquaintance.
