The Late Congressman Price.


Congressman Price or Bill Price, as he was
more Familiarity known" said a man at the Grand
Pacific yesterday, twas good deal of man in
his way. Thirty years ago he could raft log
as well as anybody on the Menomonee, and
when it came TO driving yoke of oxen there
wasn't man in all Northern Wisconsin who
could hold candle to him. The country was
wild and woolly in those days and Bill was
somewhat fuzzy himself. He could hold up the
sulphuric end of an argument with as much pic
turesqueness as any man l ever met, and when
it came to careening the flowing bowl Bill was
the acknowledged artist. But as the years rolled
by and the country began to show signs of ciyili-
cation Price took step forward by joining the
Good Templars. From that moment the man
became the most rampant temperance speaker
in the entire State. His attacks on the saloon
interests were intensely bitter-so bitter in fact
that his enemies grew furious and threatened
him with all manner of evil things. Price was
not scared however He hammered away at
John Barleycorn until ne won the esteem and
confidence of the great mass of Prohibition
voters in his district, and then he ran for Con-
gress He was elected by an immense majority
The poor fellow was too i'll to take an active part
in the late campaign, but Notwithstanding his
absence from the stump he had something like
II, 900 majority over his competitor.

VICTOR HUGo,s MARRIAGE.
The Great Poet Betrothed to an Imaginary
Bride Before His Birth.

New York Special.
Mr.. Louis Albach, the Partisan biographer OF
Victor Hugo narrates an interesting anecdote OF
the great savant which has never heretofore
found its way into print:
Victor Hugo's early marriage with the young
companion of his boyish days, says he, is one or
the pleasant episodes of the poets life. M. Al
bach recounts curious fact bearing on this
subject. You remember that Victor Hugo's
father was an old general of the First Empire.
When simply an adjutantmaior he was on in
innate terms with NJ. Pierre Foucher, of the
clerks of the War Department The major had
just married, and the clerk was about to take
the same step. He invited his friend to be one
of the witnesses. At the marriage breakfast
Hugo rose and filling his glass, he said to the
groom: do you have daughter, will have
son, and we will marry them. drink to the
health of the future couple"
This rather odd wish was realized, and thus it
was that Victor Hugo was afianced, before his
birth, to Mile. Adele Foucher, then a very i'm
aginary being. But when Victor Hugo and
Adele Foucher were materazed, as the medi-
ums say as they approached the manageable
age, all sorts of obstacles stood in the way Of
the accomplishment OF their long-day dream.
The most unsurm ountable of all these obstacles
was the lack OF money on both sides. Young
Victor had already shown marked literary abil-
ity, as shall see, especially in the depart
ment of poetry. But rhymiug rarely produces
much good, and the parents hesitated to let
their children begin the foundation of a new
family under such circumstances. The death of
Nine. Hugo. who was quite opposed TO the
match, may have FASTENED the event. Adele
was ignorant of the great affection that had be-
fallen her lover. She was dancing at a ball.
while poor Victor, with wet eyes and swelling
heart, went wandering about from the cemetery
to her house. not daring to so to her for consola-
ton When Adele saw him the next morning
he was so pale that she was frightened, and ex-
claimed
'Why, what is the matter, Victorl'
"My mother is dead: she buried yester-
day."
''Aud was dancing!"
The young people burst into tears, and thue
and there ii was that their union was definitely
decided upon.
