MADISON, Dec. 9.

General George C. Ginty is deal. Sur
! rounded by fearful wife and son and sor-
rowing friends he quietly passed from
! earth at about 9:30 O'Clock last evening
(Tuesday) The sad event occurred in his
lodgings at No. 1l2 North Pinckney street,
where he stayed while attending to his
official duties in Madison. 1t was not un-
expected but no less painful for that rea-
son. About a week ago he was forced to
give up and go to bed. An indisposition
that had been coming upon him for some
! time developed into an acute at
| tack of congestion of the liver,
which, with other complications, at once
rendered his condition grave. He rapidly
declined into critical state, and for two
days past the information was known
to all his friends that he could not long sur
vive the terrible ordeal to which
disease was subjecting his system. Once
down there seemed to be an utter collapse
of the constitution The patient was
rational throughout his illness, and fire.
quentIy alluded to his approaching end.
After o'clock last evening he turned to
Judge E. w. Keyes, who had been with
him great deal during the past week
and between whom there was the warmest
feeling of friendship born of long and
intimate cquaintanceship, and said, with
| the deepest tenderness:
''Keyes, old friend, am going to die
God bless you!''
After that he conversed on business mat
ters to some extent, exhibiting great solic-
| ;tIdp for the
famil ! for whom he had made generou.
| provision with life insurance of $50, 900
or $40, ,000-and later made a request that
he be buried by the Grand Army.
Death came gradually and in an appar-
eutIy painless manner, and consciousness
remained till within few moments of the
end
At his bedside We're his wife, and son,
w. {. Gmn, General Lucius Fairchild,
Judge E. W. Keyes, State Treasurer Har-
shaw, Mayor r. NJ. Bashford, ard
DR.. H. B. Favil, besides the
following friends from Chippewa
Falls: Hon. 7. j. Cunningham, secretary
Of state-elect; W. E. McCord, Robert
Mariner and Edward Rutledge. After it
was all over, Mrs. Ginty was conducted
to the Park hotel where she is now rest

The remains will be taken to Chippewa

Agriculture in Ancient China

In 100 B. C. the prime minister OF
the Emperor Won Weng, Tchou-Kung,
constructed norias or hydraulic machines
of simple design and working, by which
water was raised to height to which it
had never been carried before, and made
reservoirs and canals for irrigation.
Water was conducted, by means of ma
chinery, from the wells TO the dry hill
tops, and water provision was assured
for times of drought. Agriculture, in
consequence, fourished. Other meas
ures of Tcheou-Kung comprised the pro-
mitigation of laws respecting the boun-
diaries OF properties and the prevention
of trespasses. The fields were divided
into squares called wells from their re-
semblance to the Chinese character, sig
nifying we'll, surrounded and furrowed
by bitches so arranged that eight farm
ers, each tilling his own tract, united in
cultivating the ninth, interior tract,
which belonged to the State, and the
produce of which paid their rent.
The system succeeded to a marvel
Each tenant was proprietor of about
fifteen acres, the whole product of which
belonged to him, while the State was
really proprietor Of the whole, and had,
as landlord, the income of the ninth
tract. Besides this, each farmer had
some 1850 square metres of ground for
his farm-yard and his mulberry trees.
THUS he always enjoyed a surplus of
provision, of pork and poultry for food,
and silk for clothing. No one at this
time was richer or poorer than another,
but complete social equality existed,
aud every one, they say, was satisfied

Once Was Enough,

A young gentleman who lately left his
home in England, having exhausted his
credit, telegraphed to his parents:
"Your son was killed this morning by
a falling chimney. What shall we do
with the remains?"
In reply check was sent for 800,
with the request, "bury them" The
young gentleman pocketed the money aud
had an elaborate spree. When in con-
dition for writing he sent his father the
following note:
81 have just learned that an infamous
scoundrel named Barker sent you fictiti-
Gus account of my death, and swindled
you out 500. He also borrowed $50 of
me and left the country. / write to in
form you that / am still alive, and long
to see the parental roof again. / am in
somewhat reduced circumstances, the &C
emulation of the last five years having
been lost-a disastrous stock operation =
and if you would only spare me 800 1
would be ever thankful for your favor.
Give my love to all"
A few days later the young man re-
ceived the following dignifed letter from
his outraged parent:
"My Dear Son; | have buried you
once and that is the end of it. | decline
to have any transactions with ghost
Yours in the flesh, Father. y Calgary

Bismarek,s Drinking CAPACITY.

Bismarx's promotion to the grade OF
Honorary Colonel of the Seventh Regi-
ment of Cuirassiers gave currency to a
story far too interesting to be over
looked.
Following the custom in vogue III the
German army, as soon as he was pro-
NOTED he went to inspect his regiment,
and the officers invited him to the ira
ditional ''dinner of welcome a meal
which usually wound up with an enor-
nous consumption of liquor.
The officers of the regiment, every one
of them giants, all promised themselves
rare bit of fun at the figure their new
Colonel would cut on receiving the huge
tankard filled with champagne, which had
to be drained to the last drop to the
health of the regiment. They said among
themselves that Bismarck, diplomatist
and no military man, would never DO
able to accomplish the fear. "And we, !"
they added, 'swill show him how to do
it,
But they reckoned without their host.
When the cloth was removed the SER
wants brought the glasses, several bottles
of champagne, and the said tankard,
which they filled to the brim and placed
with some ceremony in front Of the illus
trious guest.
Put on his guard by some roguish
glances which he saw directed toward
him, Bismarck began to see that ne
would have to maintain the reputation
which he gained as student. Rising,
then, at given moment, he proposed a
warm toast to the welfare of the regi-
ment, and-presto!-he emptied the
tankard at single draught, although it
contained almost as much as two bottles
of champagne. He then resumed his
seat and began conversing in the quietest
possible manner, as if nothing out of the
ordinary way had happened. But his
hosts could not take their eyes off him
now, for he had grown considerably in
their estimation. What was their aston
ishment, few minutes later, when, in
the calmest voice, he requested that his
little jug might be retilled. The excite
ment increased to delirium l-Net0 YorG
