A Bloody Tragedy of Fifty Tears Ago, The Joplin' (Mo.) Herald says : Capt. J. C.-Wilmar, of Colorado, arrived in Joplin on Monday, on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. John Parton. Capt. Wilmar is a fine specimen of the western frontiersman, ana has perhaps seen as much wild life in the west as Kit Car son, Daniel Boone, David Crockett or old Greenwood.' Although in histeven-ty-fifih year, he is as straight as an ar row, an eye which has not been dimmed by years, and, except an occasional twinge of the rheumatism, is in as good . health as when he first tore himself from society fifty years ago and began the life of a hunter, tmpper and Indian fighter. ' At that time he lived in Ken tucky, where his wife died, leaving a firl baby, which the father placed in the ands of a - near relative to raise-and care for. That was over half a century ago-, and the child is now Mrs. Parton, the daughter whom the Captain is now visiting. When he first left homo he and three companions came down the Ohio Uiver to its mouth in a canoe, thence up the Mississippi River to St. Louis, which was then but a village. They had heard much of the wealth of Kew Mexico, which was then under the rule of Spain, and concluded that they would visit . Santa-Fe, -They . pup chased horses in . St. Louis ana other necessaries and started ' on their long trip, going as near on a bee line as possible.- Only a few miles .west of St. Louis and they were out of the settle ments and traveling over the trackless and almost unexplored plains, whioh to day are the most fertile spots of Mis souri. In course of time they came to a fine stream of clear running water which they fpllowed down until they came to where it plunged over a ledge of rocks, making a most beautiful and picturesque waterfall. Although the stream bore no name at the time Capt. Wilmar is confident that it was Shoal Creek and the'f sjjg were what are known as Grand Falls, situated about five miles south of Joplin. Here the little company halted, intending to rest a few days before pro ceeding on their journey, as fish and game were plenty and no signs of hos tile Indians. On day the Captain and another member of the company named Harmon , shouldered their muskets and .went on .foot in search of game, leaving uictt buioyiiuiuua u utks cnnrge. oi the m n - Tk- ' , I 111 I I ii i andj-aJaLm"eniiig started on their re ..lll.. , V "V W H OVRfc. turn 10 ine camp well loaded .with game.

Tha. horses were still standing whore iuvj ii au ueen teinerea, wnicu snows that the assassin,- whoever he was, did not intend robbery, bnt was bent upon revenge tor some cause Which was un known to the two survivors.

Wil mar took an acine part on tbe side of his country and organized a company a. middle-aged man, very quiet in his demeannr, out bold as a lion. , In a skirmish with the enemy this man was mortally wounded, and when he saw he must die, called his captain to him and asked if knew who he was. - His officer said he knew nothing about him only what he had learned since they had been together. He then told the cap tain nis true name aua mat of bis - fa ther. Capt. Wilmar remembered his father well, who had been lynched in Kentucky for committing an unprovok ed murder and which, at the time. creat ed a great sensation. I be dying man said he had killed the captain's two companions, and he did it because he knew thev had been en- faged in lynching his father, and that e had followed them from Kentucky to what is undoubtedly now known as the Grand Falls of Shoal Creek before he had an opportunity to carry his design into execution, lie had docked their steps from St. Louis across almost the entire State before he could catch them alone. When the opportunity arrived he crawled upon them, within ten feet. and shot one of the men 'dead, and be fore the other could recover from his surprise bo sprang upon him, and with nis long, Keen hunting-knife soon ended his life. - He then mounted his horse and left the spot, going back to his native I State, but soon emieTated to Texas.

One of the most influential and indi vidual of English statesmen in the pres ent century closed his life at the age of nearly 86 years, on the 28th ult. Earl Russell was the most distinguished and useful of his family, which is an ancient and honored one ; he was third son of the sixth Duke of Bedford, and entered Parliament as soon as he came of age, where he became at once prominent, and continued so for over half a cen tury. Ffty years ago he was the leader of the Whig party in the reform move ments of the age the repeal of the test and corporation acts, Roman Catholic emancipation, and the Reform bill which was the foundation of all the modern progress of England. He was at 42 the principal Liberal in England, and held various posts of official re sponsibility when his party was in pow er, and was the recognized head of the opposition when it was out, being Pre mier during the Chartist troubles of 1848-9. He was a member of Aber deen's Cabinet during the Crimean war, and experienced one of his failures as a special peace ambassador at its close. In the second Palmers ton Ministry he held the post of Foreign Secretary from 1859 to 1865, and then became a second time First Lord of the Treasury and Preniier. He was made Earl Russell in 1861. Since 1866 he has held no official sta tion, but has been until lately an active member of the House of Lords. Earl Russell has 'been also prominent in liter ature, writing the lives of his ancestors, Lord William and Lady Rachel Russell, and of his intimate friend Tom Moore ; editing the correspondence of anot her ancestor, the Duke of Bedford whom Junius" so scathed ; writing the life and editing the letters of Charles James Fox ; guilty of some poor poetry in his youth, and finally in 1875 publishing an interesting book of " Recollections" about himself and his times. He wo3 a man of small stature, restless temper, constant ambition and versatile ability; a friend of bydney .smith, one of. the Edinburg reviewers, and a favorite sub ject of Punch's caricature and of more serious assault ; and altogether a factor of such importance in the affairs of the world that no history , of- the century could be written without the frequent use oi his name. The Marriage of a Woman to a Woman. - 'Marancy Hughes was married in Sep tember last to a person who was known as Samuel M. Pollard. Her relatives opp' sed the match, and she eloped and was married without their knowledge. and a short time after their marriage Pollard confessed to her that she was a woman ; that she had trouble with her relatives in the East; bad lost her prop erty, ana assumed the disguise of a man for the reason that avenues for making money would be open to her in that character which would be closed to her as a woman. - Pollard has never given her any particular reason for doing her this great wrong, but is believed to nave been actuated by a foolish pride in ap pearing in the character of a married man. The victim was ashamed to ac knowledge that she had been so im posed upon, and shrunk from admitting the truth. Pollard, without' actually threatening her life, repeatedly inti mated that it would be Dad for her if she exposed herr and so she. kept si lence until a fortnight ago, - when her aunt got an Intimation of the fact, and questioned her closely, and she related to - her tbe whole story. - The victim says that the woman's real name is Sa rah M. Pollard, and that her trunk is niiea witn lenumne apparel. A - com plaint was filed yesterday by J. C. Ilowerton, accusing Pollard of perjury in swearing when he took out the mar riage license that he was a male. Tus earora (Nevada) Times-Review. ' "; 'Mothers aa Doctors. .

' FARM TOPICS. .. . : ' . . Faulty Western Systems of Feeding;.' Mr.' Macdonald's book, lately pub lished -in Scotland, on his American tour last season (says the Country Gen tleman), criticises our ' common" cat tle even more roughly, than we think they deserve, and rates our best Ameri can beef as by no means - a superior ar ticle.! i.Mr. M. admits, it will be seen, that on this subject there is a difference of. opinion on his own side of the At lantic ' We make the following extract, not only to show the grounds on which his criticism rests, but also . because we should be glad if it elicits a discussion among our readers on the merits of his, positions:.'- ',! y, ' "The best quality of beef is raised mostly - in the -States of .Illinois, Ken tucky, Ohio, and Indiana, each of tho neighboring States contributing a small quantity. Illinois' -undoubtedly takes the lead in regard to. tbe gross quantity of fiist-class beef it produces; 'but it contains at the same time so many com mon cattle, that, with resuect-vo- tbe foTutoeei to inferior, Centucky stands fully as high. Ohio and Indiana are pretty nearly on a level High grades second, third, and fourth crosses between common cows and im proved buUs, mostly Short-horns are the producers of the, -'prime1 beef .of America, that which has been designat ed 'hrst-class;' and between these high grades and the - common cattle of the country there is a large number of cat tle that have a sprinkling of improved blood in their veins, and that receive better attention than is general in Amer ica, and that yield a fair quality of beef, slightly inferior to the beef of high grades (about equal to third-rate British beef) ; but still not wholly unsuited lor export to Britain ; : while a small pro portion of the common cattle, tho very nuest of the com nvm steers, yield, beef chat ralerht pass in an emiowwr.' " Rpm4"$ tbe quality of the best uinss u American ueui mere is a con siderable difference of opinion. Broth er Jonathan tells us that it can't be beat anywhere in the world; and even on the Eastern side of the Atlantio there are a lew who maintain that it is quite equal to me nnest quality of beef the British Isles have ever produced. , Not withstanding all that has been said to the contrary, my firm opinion is that the best quality of American beef ; has no comparison whatever with -the: best OUalftV of British' beef. It must, ha placed on a level with second-class Brit ish beef, but a higher position it can not claim. And my reasons for so thinking are easuy expiainea.- io begin With, me ciass oi came wtitcn produce the oest quality oi American beef are decid eaiy inferior in almost ovury point to the best beef cattle of Britain: Their imme iiate ancestors on the female side were rough, coarse, big-boned, muscu lar cattle, far from well suited for the production of beef ; and though the in- Uuence of the improved sires has filed away these coarse points considerably aim engrailed many new qualities, still they display remnants of tbe character i" .j .... r.y. istics of the original breed ' (or rather breeds) which seriously reduce the quality of their'beef . They are still too big-buncd, too narrow along: the too. too flat on the rib, have too much mus cle-, and are unsatisfactory both in touch and quality. To be sure, every succes sive cross lessens the faults; but before they can all be hidden several genera. tions must be built on tho top of that now living. Supposing, however, that the best . class of . beef cattle in America and Britain were eaual- ly . good , in . breeding . and general characteristics, the manner in which cattle-feeding is carried on in America would of itself leave that coun try far behind Britain in reg rd to the quality of its best class of beef. . As Dre- viousiy aiaieu, ine nnesi quality, as well as the maximum quantity, of beef can be produced only by the nnimnl hoin jou uuvnryingiy iroin its oinn onwards; and while this principle is not observed in Britain nearly so generally as it ought to be,-it is barely rooognized in America at all. In Britain catile-feedinar has be come a scienoe t- in America it is a work that may bo executed in the most con venient haphazard manner. The tem perature and constitution of the animal receive no cuention from tha American farmer, neither docs ho take any heed whether or not hi t animals are supplied with food containing in proper propor tions tho commodities which form, flesh, fat, bono, and muscle. Whou he wishes to fatten his cattle, ho scatters in fit )d among them an abundance of tho In- J to dian corn and a seasoning of salt, and leaves the rest of the fattening process1 to the animals themselves and to nature. It is the misfortune of the American farmer that nature has done so much for him ; but kind though it be, it does not satisfatorily accomplish all that is left to it in the feeding of cattle. It does not supply in the atmosphere, nor in any other shape, the ingredients which are lacking in Indian corn for the effi cient feeding of cattle, neither does it always provide the fatling with that shelter which is desired to assist the daily fare in keeping up the animal heat. To illustrate what is meant, brief reference may be made to the mode of feeding pursued by Mr, John B. Gillet, Elkhart, Macon County, Illinois, whose immense herd of 2,300 head has already been noticed at some length, and who has for upwards of 30 years displayed as much care and intelligence in the management of his herd as any other man on me American continent., nor several years back he has been receiving higher prices for his fat steers than most oi his ' neighbors and fellow-American farmers, and it was from his herd that Mr, Eastman, "of .New York, obtained those excellent samples of beef that elec- tnnctt this country on their arnval near ly two years ago; so that the illustration selected is very favorable to the general system of cattbVf eeding, even among the most intelligent and most advanced of American farmers. Mr. Gillet rears be tween 400 and 600 calves every year from Short-horn bulls and high grade cows, each calf being allowed to follow its dam; and thus, when weaned, or turned., into the 'stirkies' . sta' (as a . broad '..Scot would say), the calf is usually as high in condition as it is desirable that a calf should be. But after that, instead of an endeavor being made to retain the calf beef, and to slowly and gradually add to it, that animal has to be contented with a very scanty , living till it is ap proaching three years old.; . In a good grass season the summer food may be abundant, but in winter the forage is very scarce, ' and, indeed, the animals have sometimes, as already stated, to scrape their daily pittance from beneath a covering of snow. In the autumn of their third year Mr. Oillet's steers are turned on to full rations as feeding cat tle, and for 10 or 12 months are fed very liberally .with' Indian corn, . which is given them in the open field, as it grew, in winter, and in the ear in troughs in summer. They take on flesh speedily while they are thus treated, especially during the summer months ; And when they are shipped to the beef markets of Chicago or New York in the months of August, September or October, they are indeed a very handsome lot of beef cattle,- weighing from 1,700 to 1,900 pounds jive weignii. ; . ...... . What is there then in this system of feeding that, damages the quality of beef? The cattle are begun well and finished well; but in the interval of nearly two years' duration, ' between their weaning and the autumn of their third year," they are neglected, or at least left to shift for themselves.' Each of the two winters in this interval wears away a considerable portion of the fat laid on during the previous summer, leaving on the frame of the animal a auantity of strong, dry, shriveled up, 1-mixed ' flesh, ' which remains there and greatly reduces the value of the car cass. A few of tha American farmers with whom I discussed' the subject ar gued that to endeavor to lay flesh and fat npon an animal before .it has reach ed its maximum growth, or nearly so, is perfectly useless, in fact a decided mis take, for they held that the feeding stints tho growth of the animal, and im pairs its constitution. .. Ideas like these are also occasionally expressed among British . farmers, but that they are ill-! founded there is not the slightest doubt. Unquestionably excessive feeding' in youth both endangers the constitution and hinders the growth of an animal, but moderate and steady feeding does neith er.' ' On the contrary, it accelerates the growth of the animal, and increases the quantity and improves the quality of its beef,., All animals can, not stand the sain? amount of pressing with food; their constitutions must bo watched, and the food applied accordingly.. ' AMr -nuug jpiprewion seems xi have a footing among American farm ers, and that is that fat cattle ooght to be valued and graded by weight more than by any other characteristic. Their; chief -ambition seems , to be to bring heavy; cattle . into' - market, lrrespectiv of their quality. It is very much easier. as a rule, to obtain good quality in t moderate-sized animal than in an excep tionally large one; and before American beef can claim quality-with British beef the farmers of that country will have to lay aside their idea that weight is the all-important point, and recognize that quality is of more moment than size."

The party bought a dhow from Songoro which Lukongeh claimed. The . chief was pacified temporarily, and Lieut; Smith ana Mr. U'jseiil left the island for Knjei, for their heavy stores. There the dhow was wrecked, and the party started in the "Daisy" for Uganda, but 1 were driven to Ukerewe bv' bad weather; Here they found that the dispute be tween .Lit'.kongeh ana bonsoro had broken out afresh.

It is time there was a legislative enactment to either hang clothes lines 60 feet above the earth, or make the leaving: them out alter nightfall a state-prison ottense. It is a most incomprehensible fact that a clothes-line is always hung across the garden-path. . If the yard was 10 miles square and a path two feet wide crept along close to the fence, and the woman haa but eight feet of line,, she would manage to cover the path. ; Whether this is because she is perverse, or can not help it, we do not know.

In its proper place a clothes-line .is a valuable companion, but across a path after dark it is simply a pniianzing iorce. vanoury JSews. The Sting of Bees a Remedy for Kheu . . matism The Praeger Lndwirlh.ichaflliches Wbchenblatt contains the following in regara to tne cure of rheumatism by the means of bee stings.. The correspond ent says that his wife having suffered so much as to be unable to enioy any bleep or rest for the space of six months, the right arm being almost lame, prevent ing the sufferer from doing any house hold work, making her even unable to dress or undress herself; and having heard that a farmer, quite incapacitated by rheumatism, had been accidentally stung by bees,' and thereby got entirely cured, he persuaded his wife to try this remedy, as the pain from the sting of the bees would not be greater than that already suffered. Three ' bees were therefore laid and pressed npon the right arm for a considerable time, in order that the poison bladder of the insects should entirely empty itself. . The effect produced was astonishing, as the lady, even on the first night,' was enabled to enjoy a long, good sleep, the first' time for at least six months, the racking pain being entirely gone. The arm was, of course, swollen greatly in consequence oi the sting, but the swelling disappear ed gradually npon the application of some cooling lotion. All pain was gone, ine lame arm-' recovered its previous vigorousness, and not the least sign of rheumatism has since shown itself. - The Countess Helena Gazewska has been arrested at Vienna for defrauding jewelers in six different cities of $99,000 worth of gems, which 8 he sold to per sons in society, representing them to be her own, and that she parted with them to help the Russian wounded. ... - " A Doitm remedy for and am 1 1 of thm KldBera, BUdder and Vriorr Or- Haat't Kenedy u pnwy vegeuo ana prepared ezpraulj tot thm abor diMaaea, It ha cured thoa nrtav .Every bottle warranted.
