FORETOLD HIS FUTURE.

The Message Carl Schurz Received
From Spirit Land.
An extraordinary experience with q
medium is given in the Carl Schurz
memoirs In McClure's.
After receiving what purported to be
message from Schiller, General
Schurz asked that the spirit of Lincoln
be summoned to tell why President
Johnson had called Schurz to Wash
ington.
1.-THE answer came, He wants you
to make an important journey for him.
l asked where that journey would take
me. Answer, He will tell you tomor-
row. l asked further whether !
should undertake that journey. An
swer, Yes; do not fall q may add,
by the way, that at that time l had not
the slightest anticipation as to what
President Johnsons intention with re.
gard to me was)
Having disposed of this matter, |
asked whether the spirit of Lincoln
had anything more to say to me. The

From what staten Answer, From
Missouri This was more provokingly
mysterious still, but there the CONVEX

Hardly anything could have been
more improbable at that time than that

States from the state Of Missouri. My
domicile was in Wisconsin,, and l was

had never thought Of removing from
Wisconsin to Missouri, and there was
not the slightest prospect of my ever
doing so.
But, to forestall my narrative, two
years later l was surprised by an en-
tirely unsought and unexpected bust
ness proposition which took me to St
Louis, and in January, 1869, the legis-
lature of Missouri elected me a sena-
tor of the United States. L then re-
membered the prophecy made to me
at the spirit seance in the house of my
friend Tiedemann in Philadelphia"

CONDUCTS INQUEST
Body of Infant Found Strdn-
Qled at HuStiSfOrd on
April 18th.

District Attorney G. A. Kading
was at Hustisford yesterday to preside
at an adjourned inquest to peer into
the mystery CT the finding of the body
of a girl infant on Tuesday, April IA,
In an clubhouse on the premises of
Adolph Rose, an account Of which
appeared in The Leader at the time.
Although the inquest has been ad-
journed from time to time in an
effort to ferret cut the mystery, no
definite decision has been arrived at.
It is understood that the authorities
have been working Oh few Ineagre
clews, and that it Is probable that the
identity of the person or persons COM
hitting the crime may yet be made
known
The fully developed infant was
found wrapped in newspapers and an
old skirt IN the clubhouse which Mrs.
Rose was cleaning. The head and
shoulders of the infant were found to

Tie fact that the concert of last

dictatorship of the Lyric Glee Club
and Arion club OF the cream city,
visiting there twice week. He finds
it impossible to continue his excellent
services IN Watertown, where he is
recognized as an instructor of rare
ability, also as talented composer
and singer.
Who will succeed Prof. Protheroe
as director of the club. has not as yet
been decided. But it is hoped that
his decision to leave will not dampen

Retain Class Rush.

Wisconsin's annual freshman-sopho-
more class rush, which was voted last
week to be abolished, will be retained
with slight notifications, according
to action by the student conference
committee at Madison recently
By small majority the conferencer
reconsidered it's vote to substitute a
freshman sophomore track and field
meet, including pushball contest for
the lake event, and decided to find
new place for holding the rush. The
change of the scene OF hostllities is
expected to reduces the danger of &C.
cidents, which the samH space next
to the university gymnasium and the
Increasing number OF contestants made
greater each year.

1t Is curious how many people are in
ignorance of simple little facts in con-

would save them a large amount Of
unnecessary labor and fatigue. Take
the case of carrying a heavy bag or

know the annoying way in which it
knocks against our legs and the almost
tntolerable ache in the arm that is sup
porting the burden. Few people are

Didn't Have License.

For dealing lii junk without taking
out license as required by city
ordinance, Joseph Cohn was arrested
and hailed into Justice Henze's court
yesterday. AS he had no defence
not having taken out a license and
having purchased old iron from SUM-
dry persons, he was fined SIS, and paid
the costs amounting to another five
cartwbeels. Mr. COIN informed the
court that it would be the last money
that the city of Watertown would ever
get out of him, which means that he
does not intend to take out license
and may shake the dust of the city
from off his feet and depart hence.
1t does not seem right, that a man
engaged in buying up old iron, rags
etc., which are in the way should be
required to take out license, but
that is the law of the city and of
course must be enforced.

SANG HER VERY BEST.
Frederick the Great Was Posted and
Marie Frausch Was Wise.

Frederick the Great Was Posted and
Marie Frausch Was Wise.
There is a good story told of prima
donna named Marie Frausch, who lived
in the time Of Frederick the Great
Whenever anything or anybody dis
pleased the naughty Frausch she, after
the manner of prima donnas in gener-
al, would suddenly become too hoarse
to sing. One evening there was to be
sung an opera in her repertory, and it
was expected that the king would at
tend.
At the appointed hour the manager
came forward and announced that,
owing to sore throat, Fraulein
Frausch was unable to appear.
The people were preparing to leave
the house, but his majesty rose and
commanded them TO keep their seats.
A few moments afterward an office
and four dragons entered the capri
cious singers room.
"Fraulein," said the officer, 1.-The king
inquiries after your health
1.-THE king is very good" said
Frausch, with a pout, "but l have a
sore throat"
His majesty is aware of the fact
and has charged me to take you to the
military hospital TO be cured"
Fraulein, turning very pale, suggest
ed that they were jesting, but was told
that Prussian officers never INDUCED
in persifiage. Soon she found herself
in coach with four men.
81 am a little better now" Frausch
faltered, land l will try to sing
Back to the theater!" said the officer
to the coachman.
The fraulein began TO think she had
yielded too easily. 81 shall not be able
to sing my best" she interposed.
Pardon, fraulein," responded the Of
ficer, "but think you will"
"And why?"
Because two dragons in attend
ance behind the scenes have orders to
carry you off to the military hospital
at the least cough"
Fraulein Frausch never sang better
than she did that night-Chicago Rec

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain, but it Is singularly so.
Twenty-four hours or more before rain
falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for
some convenient shelter. On a bright,
clear morning when not a cloud Is to
be seen the deniZens of a tortoise farm
on the African coast may sometimes
be seen heading for the nearest over
hanging rocks. When that happens
the proprietor knows that rain will
come down during the day, and, as a
rule. 1t comes down in torrents. The
sign never fails. This presensation, or
whatever you may call 1t, which exists
In many birds and beasts, may be ex-
planned partly from the increasing
weight Of the atmosphere when rain is
forming, partly by habits OF living and
partly from the need of moisture,
which is shared by all.
