Sam Wards Love Letters.

Many billet-doux went to aud fro
in Uncle Sans early counting DAYS,
and every sort of weather from May to
December was manifested in the mis-
sives. But finally, the courtly gallant
won, and Miss Astor was his bride. In
sentimental moment, Just TO show
how much more intense mans love is
than that of woman can ever be, the
bridegroom produced all the letters he
had ever received from his sweetheart.
But the look of triumph on his face did
not long survive; tiny key was turn
ed, drawer was opened, and there,
packed in most compact fashion, were
uncovered to his gaze all the lines he
himself had written. The head of the
Ward family might not have changed
his mind about the superiority of mas
culine affection, but there was a cessa-
ton of hostilitics on that line from that
day forth. That isn't all of the story,
though, nor all of the philosophy.
Those love letters were carefully as
sorted, compared date by date, and
then, each preceding its answer, they
were bound together in mighty vol
ume. A stranger would have found
them interesting enough to idle time
away upon; and they of the inner cir
Gle, how they would ina gloated over
the bon-bons! Not all OF those epistlcs,
however, were Touchdown cargoes Of
sentiment and affection Some lovers
quarrel sometimes. That was the cx-
ceptional sort of lovers that Mr.. Ward
and Miss Astor happened to be. Sam,
he was proud of his sarcasm; Miss As
tor, she had the right to be. The result
was that clashings, when they came,
lacked nothing in animation. But the
sweet and the bitter were bound there
between the covers together And
this is what Prince Sam is quoted in
after days as saying there was iniin-
lite fun and infinite good in that old
book of ours, with its teil-tale record
of our criss-cross courtship. II made
many an evening merry all for our
selves. 1t waited away many a cloud,
for never could difference arise that
would not give way before the material
lied recollection of some Of our tiny
difficulties come and gone. Old quar-
rels-old love quarrels that are settled,
at least-always are tinged with the
crispest sort of humor. And never did
one of us get cloudy but out came that
inevitable volume, and old-time battles
provoked visibility that was death 10
all threatening ill-humor in the pres
ent. That book was worth fortune
to US. When she died it was the most
sacred possession left me. Its creation
was the happiest thought of my life. +"

Madison Matters.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The sad news of Gen. Grants death
reached Madison as soon as the wires
could bring it from Mount MacGregor
and in few minutes flags were flying
at half mast, bells tolling. citizens drap-
ing their business places and residences
with Grape, and everywhere evidence
of universal regret met the eye and ear.
Gov. Rusk Immediately sent a message
of coincidence to Mrs. Grant, and then
issued orders respecting the proper OBJ
servance of the sad and long-looked for
event. On Friday salute of one gun
every half hour from sunrise Till sunset
was fired from the University campus.
Orders were issued from the Adjutant
Generals office to the w. n G. relating
to the proper military observance OF
the funeral. On Saturday next the
services will be conducted according to
military usages.
Already have many campers taken
quarters at Monona lakeside, and many
are coming in to join the throng later
IN the week. The rumor that Beecher
and lngersoll would be here during the
eneampment is false. The Assembly
ASSOCIATION have sent out their pro-
grammes just as they will be flied.
The quartermaster general has
shipped the state tents and equipments
to Appleton, where the Second regi-
ment, w. N. g., go into camp next
week.
Work is progressing slowly at the
University grounds; the basement to
the machine shop and chemical labora-
tory is dug and the engine room base
ment begun.
The Dane county court house is also
progressing, and already presents the
appearance of a fine piece of architec-
ture
At the capitol the statuary around
the park has been cleaned and repaint-
ed and the old water pipes, which were
put in in 1866, have been replaced by
new ones.
The summer school at the University
has an attendance of about forty-five
students, and has gained q reputation
which will probably locate i. at Madi-
sen during next summers vacation.

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
The funeral ceremonies will end at
Central Park, New York, on Saturday,
August 9Th. On that day memorial
services will be held throughout the
country.
The body has been embalmed and
will lie at Mt. McGregor until Aug. 4.
Gen. Grant will be buried in Central
Park, New York. The body will be
taken from Mt. McGregor at P. NJ. on
Tuesday, Aug. 4. arriving at Albany nj
4:30 p. NJ. 1t will be in state at the cap
itol until the next day at 0 clock, when
it viii be taken to New York, arriving
there at 4:30 z. NJ. Aug, g. 1t will lie in
state in the City Hall from that time
until Saturday, Aug. s, when the public
funeral will take place, with such obse-
quies as may be arranged by the autho-
rites. The interment in Central Park
will then occur. The obsequies will be-
gin on Mt. McGregor. The family fully
recognize the claim of the people and
the nation to do honor to the remains of
Gen Grant, but there is feeling that,
before all pomp and pageant of burial,
the family should have their dead all by
themselves for season of service. The
family would be alone when their fune-
raj service is held, and before the re-
mains go out to the people to mourn
over. Thus the funeral ceremonies for
the family will be held in the cottage at
IL A. NJ, Aug. 4. Dr. Newman will be
with the family and conduct with them
the service over the dead.

| hope most sincerely that THE HER
AID will find it in its power to entirely
forgive my delinquency in the matter
OF writing. My only excuse is great
press of business. You see, this is the
best stopping place on the line of the
Manitoba road, between Grand Forks
and DEVILS Lake. consequently great
number of people take dinner here
every day. Yesterday there were near
ly seventy. and no especial occasion
just people coming and going on bust
ness.
This is the garden of the world for
wheat raising. Large farms are the
rule; small ones the exception. The
farm owned by Messrs. Hughes &Hersey,
two End one-half miles from here, known
as the "Arvilla farm" has over 5000
acres in it, with 2, 400 acres under cult
walton, and fine farmhouse, out build
ings and elegant private residence, to-
gether with some Of the best stock in
cattle aud horses to be found in the
territory. 1t is situated on the Turtle
river, has considerable timber and is in
deed lovely spot.
Crops all through this county, and in
fact all over this part of the territory.
are looking splenddly, and if no dam
age is experienced from storms an
abundant harvest will be ours Money
will be plenty in this section the COM
ing fall. Hail is the most dreaded foe
of the farmer. Last week there was a
hail storm that completely moved down
over 10000 acres of wheat. One man
lost six hundred acres not a half acre
left standing. This is very healthy
conntry~-warm in the middle of the
day cool at night and in the morning.
There has not been night this summer
but blankets were needed on the bed.
One thing miss here very much, name
ly. fruit. There is nothing in this line
of any consequence raised in this part
of the country. | have not seen straw
berry this season, although many cases
have been shipped from st. Paul to
DEVILS Lake.
If | had come out here three years
ago could have got plenty of land in
sight of the town; but now there are no
homesteads or timber claims to be
taken up nearer than twenty miles.
noticed in THE HERALD of last week
that Lancaster has many summer visit
ors as usual. Some of them are old
friends of mine. 1t does one good to
see the names of friends in print when
SO far from home Grant county was
my home for many. many years.
There are faces among the living

There are graves wherein lie buried

Mount Hope.

Miss Anna White has gone to Patch
Grove on visit to her uncle, Thomas
Maggie.
DR.. Zeigler's brother has returned to
his home in Ohio.
Mr.. Moral returns to his home in
Maine this week. He has been on a
visit here since last spring and IS much
pleased with this country.
The Adventists held a series of meet
ings here last Saturday and Sunday.
There was much earnestness in their
addresses, and we must admit the good
done if we do not admire or believe all
their doctrinal points. Mr.. Sanborn is
both an excellent and energetic speaker.
Last week was not very good week
for haying and many of the farmers
look somewhat glum. But we must
take it as it comes. More rain has
fallen here than at any previous season
within the recollection of the oldest in
habitant.
A glance around the town and we
find all the business men at work and
seemingly happy. Tandy & Schuette
are making the anvil ring from early
morn till night, and yet they cannot
keep the shop clear.
B. l.. Loomis distributes the mail and
a good stock of general merchandise
1t seems that he at least is not as yet
considered an offensive partisan.
The |. o. G. t. society go to Bloom
ington tonight on visit to the lodge
in that place.
There is ladies' aid society here,
but as we with the French name do not
belong to the female sex we can't tell
what is doing or been done. OF one
thing we are assured, that anything the
ladies of this community are interested
in is sure to bring forth some good fruit.
Some have found out who Feuileton
is now. William, how could you do all
this and not say word to your neigh
bors, and even accuse Mr.. Barrett of it
in crowd SO the people should not
know you.
The little hit on the behavior of few
roughs given by my pen has had some
effect. as it aroused their ire at least.
We hope 1t may arouse their sense of
shame and that the time will soon come
when no one in this fair land will lower
himself to the level of the brute creation
by touching the vile poison, and when
no one will even go still lower to deal
it out to his fellow man. Drink, but
let it be the beverage that God brews =
cool sparkling water. FEUILLEToN.

OBITUARY-LINA BUSHAUSEN.
There is reaper whose name is DEATH
And, with his sickle keen.
He reaps the bearded grain at breath
And the flowers that grow between
The entirely unexpected coming of
this terrible Reaper was the startling an
nouncement to our people on Saturday
morning, and that the fearful stroke of
the dreaded sickle had been received in
the family of j. S. Buchausen. Not an
occasion of harvesting the bearded
grain" but the beauteous, beloved
blossom of tender and useful woman
hood, in the person of the daughter,
Lima, supplied the object sought in this
impatient, relentless reaping.
Miss Lima Bushausen was in her 9th
year, and aside from the WEAKNESS con-
sequent upon the busy season of a sue
cessful millinery trade, did not repres
ent, as far as was known, any serious
illness, until the forenoon of Thurday,
the 10th, when symptoms of a danger
Gus nature were manifested, and the
statement of the attending physicians
that the presence of severe blood-poison-
ing really left no room for hope, was
indeed very soon verified
The funeral services on Sunday after
noon, in accordance with the SPECIAL re-
quest of the deceased, were held in the
Congregational church, and the sermon
preached by the pastor, Rev. T. w.
Cole, who selected as the basis of his
dlcourse the words from James iv. and
xiv, what is Your Life?" Certainly,
this address was in every way COM
mendablo. Being replete with excellent
matter for thought by all young people
and yet by no means inappropriate for
persons of any age; and in purport it
was further added, that the virtues and
many commendable qualities of her.

family and many intimate acquantan-
ces, and needed no rehearsal; that he
was not called upon to pass in Judgment

no man is the rightful Judge of anoth-
er's destiny, but this matter rested iu
the hands of a Righteous Judge, who

The name, Lima" woven in pansies
upon white groundwork of flowers,
and profusion of many others, equally
chaste and lovely, formed into sacred
designs, caused an impression most
beautiful, denoting that an occasion of
sorrow was made by their presence
much more reconcilable.
The sympathy extended by all was
shown by the large concourse of people
assembled at the funeral services, but
members of these households that have
never lost "bud, blossom, or bearded
grain" cannot fully realize the poignant
grief of this family by the first coming
of this dreaded Reaper. RETLAw
