I Friedrich Boock. I

Unapproachable death respects no
distinction, no prayers; it enters the
happy household an6stakes the infant
from it's mothers arms, the loving sis
ter from the brothers side, the tender
wife from all endeared to her. And then
it beckons to the father to follow to
foreign shore, and all is sorrow and
solitude.
Frederick Boock, of whose sickness
we reported last week, died last Sun
day noon and was buried on Monday
afternoon from the Lutheran church, of
which he was a prominent member.
He was one Of the original founders of
New Ulm, came from Chicago in 1855
and located IN Lafayette. In 1868 he
moved to this city, where he has ever
since been prominently connected with
its affairs, having served several terms
as alderman. The extensive machine
works, which grace upper Minnesota
Street, owe their prosperity to his un-
firing labor, and through it he has we'll
provided for his family, which he leaves
in comfortable circumstances.
He was 81 years OF age and respected
by all acquainted with him, and his loss
is sadly mourned by the family, whom
we express our hearty sympathy.

Military Confinement.

The solitary confinement is relic of a
barbarous age. The history Of the middle
ages Is full OF cases where men have pass
ed ears, in some instances almost life
time, walking back and forth in lonely
cell which, perhaps, may have been for a
portion of the time dungeon. AL are
familiar with the stony of the prisoner
confined in the Castle of Chillon, in
Switzerland, who chained to pillar walk
ed TO and fro as far as the chain would
permit, and wore deep furrow in the
stone under his feet. The prisoner is
gone, but the tourist may today visit the
old prison by the side of the placed Lake
LeEeen and see this fnrrow, and ponder
on the story Of human suffering that it
tells.
In America much of the rigor of i'm
prisonment has been alleviated by the in
PRODUCTION OF contract labor. 'Impris-
oned at hard labor" may seem to imply q
melancholy lot, but compared with soil
tary confinement, with nothing to occupy
the prisoners attention, or his muscles,
hard labor means an existence far prefer
able. America is doubtless in the adv ance
IN this reform. The most thinking Eu-
ropean nations come next, while Russia
still fingers in tho twilight of harbarisn.
