THE HEW GBASSUT THE OBASSHOPPEB
BEGIOSS.

buffalo grin of the plains, that it would

from the two regions, to know the differ
ence, if any.
The plant here is more roUut, anu .ne
seeds a little larger, but thin may 1 a cli
matic development, rather than an organic
difference. It is a mistake to suppose that
- the grafphopira are the medium of distri-
bution of this grass by scattering the peed,
as the imioibility of this, any one
knows, whtfis acriuainted with the organ
ism of that insect.
If the history of this graa could be leg
ibly written, it would afford a fine illustra
tion of Darwin'u theory of the ftruggle of
plant for life and supremacy. Time was
when this region was densely occupied by
buffaloes, and under their do feeding
and tramping this grass survived all others,
as is now the case on the plains further
AVo-L As the- animals receded westward
the coarser plants entered in a successful
strife, but before the work of subjugation
was completed bv these indigenous growths,
civilization came with its exotics. Then
tli blue grata entered the combat, and for a
time this new rival gained the accndancy,
and the coarser plants in time had to yield,
en our commons at leaM. I.ut a sufficient
time has not elapsed to uproot all the na
tive growths including the buffalo graM.
On our commons the contest is almost ex
clusively between the latter and the blue
grass, and it is only a question of time
when this nutritious plant will predomi-
" nate every where.
Favorable Masons the buffalo grass is
, driven to Mnall dry areas, but in drouths,
such as prevailed in 73 and '74, when
much of the blue-grass perishes, iLs an
tagonist makes large encroachments on the
latter, ri'iens unusual quantities of feed
for subsequent use. Millions of snow-birds
frequented our commons last Winter and
eagerly fed ujoii the feted of the buffalo
grass, which in general appearance resem
bled grasshopiier eggs. Many of thete
birds, with theircraws well filled with seed,
were sold in our market, hence erroneous
rejmrts were circulated abroad, that these
birds were feeding on grasshopper eggs. It
is K-ible that they gave a wider di-tribu-tion
to this teed through their feces, and
prepared the way for the la.it phase in the
strife as we now have it reported from
around and ce it here.
With this probable distribution, and the
aid of the grasshopper early in the season,
the advantages were decidedly in favor of
the buffalo graw; while the blue-grai gen
erally nicctinilieii to the rapacity of that
insert, the buffalo grass received no jerma
nent injury, and as soon as the field was
clear again it sprung upii. its name igOT
and we now find it predominant, or at leaft
equal in destribution. Such contest will
recur until the buffalo grass is driven to
the wall, and under like influences our na
tive plants are disappearing from the prairie.
never lay before the people a plan, or de
vise means, whereby a man may cure him
self of the habit so much condemned.
The Times docs not pretend to be a tem
perance pajwr, we believe, it hag never
preached total abstinence on one page, and
displayed saloon "ads" in another place, yet
we think as a matter of public interest,
that all prescription relating to this mat
ter should lie published.
We do not know whether the Scientific
American has any designs on the Democrat
ic party, when it fights the whiskey traffic,
but at any rate, its advice is worthy of at
tention, the paper being an authority on
all scientific subjects.
THE POLITICAL PBOSPECIS

s neyed the political fild,and t'-'nks that
the rjsu't .he State v'lvctw h.n f J"
will disclose a compact, vigorous and suc
cessful lie-publican party. From every
quarter there come the most cheering intel
ligence. Out of the shadow that came over
us in the general elections of last year, we
see unmistakable evidence of returning
light and noonday effulgence. The dark
loud of political insanity, which since then
chas seemed to hang ominously over the na
tion is surely breaking away, and the clear
light of iolitical reason is hastening its
homeward flight. Not only tho-e who
have all along ln Itepublicans, but truth
ful and honest men everywhere, have
Ix-come conscious of the approach of dan
ger, and that it must be averted. They are
fully alitc to the tremendous inijiortance
of the present campaign in the doubtful
States, and they have both the courage and
the ability to command success. In Ohio
and in Pennsylvania, in Ohio especially,
where the fiercest battle must be fought, our
friends are marshaling in solid phalanx,
with an earnestness and enthusiasm, that
are auguries of victory in every good cause.
The people, who, for various reasons, were
sluttish and fretful a year ago, are now
awake to the fact that they have some
things et which they hold dear, and
which they arc unwilling to surrender.
They well know that the time has come
when they mut renew in earnest the strug
gle with their desperate and unscrupulous
foe; that the elections in October and No
vember next, are something more than or
dinary skirmishes that they are battles for
position in the great conflict next year for
the possession of the national government;
and they do not propose to permit the oc
casion to pass without administering
to their enemy such a rebuke as
their audacity and hypocrisy deserve.
It has not yet become quite clear to
their minds that it will be safe to trust
well known and avowed enemies with all
that is most sacred in life ; to drive from
the grand old ship the crew that have re
mained steadfast in the prefonuance of
their trut, through storms and perils,
through sorest trials and fiercest assault,
that pirates may plunder and destroy her.
Those who in all seasons have stood firm as
a rock amid the sea, must not be supplant
ed by thoe who trim to every passing
breeze, steadfast in nothing, but an eager
desire to seize the spoils.
OHIO HO FEXHSYLVAjUA
The canvaxi for the Fall siection in the
former State is looked upon with the great
est interest. The Democracy are encum
bered with Eourbonism of the worst char
acter. There is also a fierce family quar
rel going on in their own camp. Out of
the State the leading Democratic press of
the East denounces the "Confederacy cur
rency" planks of their platform, with al
most bitter unanimity; while inside the
State its adoption is well understood to be
a piece of shrewd strategy on the part of
Mr. 1'endlcton's friends, whereby it is hoped
to puh Allen overboard and destroy Thur
mau's usefulness, removing both from the
path of Pendleton's Presidential aspira
tions. Its re-ults will be to wreck all their
illu-ions. In the meanwhile the Eepubli
cans are heartily and unitedly at work.
The Germans are returning to the standard,
and the leaders of the "Liberal" and "Itcv
enue Reform" agitations they cannot be
termed parties are openly accepting and
working for the Republican nominees.
There is work to be done, and a great deal
of it The best evidence of its prospective
accomplishment is the spirit in which all
parties are entering the lists.
And from present indications, we believe
that Hayes' majority will astonish the
whole country.
The returns from Pennsylvania are
equally flattering ; the contest, however, is
not so exciting as in Ohio; it is like a State
election in Kansas, where the Republicans
have little or no opposition, and we lielievc
that Governor Ilartranft will be elected as I
easily as was Governor Osborn.
The opposition are building on disaffec
tion among the miners in the anthracite re
gion. The liest information that comes to
hand shows very little ground for this
hoie, as the larger port'on of the Republi
can vote therein is located in the Lacka
wana bain, among the Welsh miners, who
have been but little affected by the strikes
and the movement of the State authorities
consequent thereon, and who, moreover,
arc not in the habit of changing
settled convictions becau-e of local
disorders growing out of conditions
not afiected by the present policies of
the great parties now in existence. The
Welsh miners throughout the coal region,
and the major j-ortioii of the American
voters will, as heretofore, vote the Republi
can ticket. As to the Irish-Americans
therein, it is a well-known fact that the
Democratic hold on them is greatly weaken
ed, and whatccr may be the probable
changes pending in their tanks, they are
not likely to result to the advantage of that
portion of the opposition. Elsewhere in
Pennsylvania, as there, Republican pros
pects are fair and improving. The ap
parently large increase last ear of the
Democratic ote is due to their dissatisfac
tion in 1S72, with the nomination of Horace
Gicclcv.
A CTJEE FOE DEUHXEHHESS.
We desire to draw particular attention to
a prescription which has been printed by
the Scientific American, which is said to
have proved a practical and efficient rem
edy for the ehronic love of strong drink. It
is described as follows:
There is a prescription in use in England
for the cure of drunkenness, by which thou
sands are said to have been assisted in re
covering themselves. The recipe came in
to notoriety through -the efforts of John
Vine Hall, commander of the Great Eastern
steamship. He had fallen into such habit
ual drunkenness that his most earnest ef
forts to reclaim himself proved unavailing.
At length he sought the advice of an emi
nent physician, who gave him a
tin scription, which he followed fathfully
tor seven months, and at the end of that
time had lost all desire for liquor, although
he had for many years been led captive
which he afterwards published, and bv
which so many drunkards have been as
sist i to reform, as follows :
"Sulphate of iron, five grains ; pepper
mint water, eleven drachma; spirit of nut
meg, one drachm ; twice a day." This
preparation acts as a stimulant and tonic,
and partially supplies the place of the a?
customed liquor, and prevents that ahaolut
physical and moral prostration that follows
a. sudden breaking from the use of stimi a
tlag drinks.

BEPUBLICAHS WILL WOES
The current number of the Republic Maga
zine has several well written articles on the
political situation. They arc all worthy
of consideration, at tho hands of the Re
publican party, for in the great elections
which periodically occur, the issues of
which effect so deeply the national welfare,
every Republican understands that he is
the representative of principles which have
saved the country, and raised it in the scale
of nations. That those principles shall
triumph in the contest, is his daily hoiic;
and to this end the men of encrev and
thought are willing to toil. They are not
only willing to toil themselves but knowing
the value of the ballot, they are anxious in
an appeal to it, that the response of the peo
ple shall show the popular feeling, and the
popular desire. They will, therefore, vote
for their own candidates; but their labor will
not cea?e there. Every Republican has influ
ence with his neighbors an influence which
springs legitimately from the principles lie
profes-es, and he is bound to exert that in
fluence, to exert every nerve to fix the wa
vering, to rouse the sluggish, to find those
who would conceal tliemsehes, and to gath
er together those that are scattered but ac
cessible. Republicans of this class keep
alive in their localities the spirit of the
party, anJ are the honored instruments of
much of its success.
There is, however, another class of men
who are also Republicans by conviction and
are willing to accept the results of Republi
can prosperity, but who from some trifling
cause, held aloof from the polls or staid at
home. Here are men confess" ng principles
acknowledged to be the noblest that ever led
and governed a nation, acting through sel
fishness, as if there was no accountability for
the assistance they gave in the introduction
of political confusion, discord and defeat
by a positive neglect of duty! Thev con
sidered the elective franchise a noble right,
but its exercise a matter of option. Soured
or dissatisfied, they desired to punish the
party for whatever they regarded as amiss,
and so they omitted to cast their vote. They
now see the work of their hands. The dan
ger of restoring the Democratic party to
power in the nation is fully realized, and
they are not likely to repeat the blunder.
We have reason to know that thousands of
them regret the past, and would do much
to undo it. But with the past now we have
nothing to do, save to learn the lessons it
has taught, namely, that neglect of political
duty is offering a premium to political mis
fortune. Politics will not settle themselves
satisfactorily if left to take their own way.

country and their (iod.
scenery of beautiful hills and dales with
groups of indigenous trees, and waterfalls
at the head of Cayuga Lake, celebrated for
its scenic beauty. The lecture rooms, halls,
laboratories and students rooms are complete
in all their appointments with and exten
sive and well selected library and reading
room supplied with all the standard periodi
cals of the day. The institution is not ten
years old, yet has attained an importance
inferior only to two others in the Union.
This speedy rise is undoubtedly due to
the fact that they have discarded the old
musty system of attempting to mold all the
students after one pattern her practical
branches and democratic spirit. The qual
ifications for entering are the base of a
good English education, with a knowledge
of algebra through equations of the second
degree the doors being open to both sexes
on equal terms and advantages. The stu
dent then has the option of selecting his
branches taught by the thirty professors.
If, however, the classics are included in
the selection, a higher preparation is re
quired. They have work shops in which
some of the arts are taught by the most
skillful mechanics, the student working with
his own hands and receives an equivalent
for his labor, and some of the most skillful
and industrious cover much of their ex
pecses through college in this way. In the
lecture-room he is taught the scientific
principles that lay at the base of his art,
whether it be machinery, architecture, civil
engineering, or farming. For instance, in
the machine fchop, he is taught the skillful
use of tools ; in the draughting room, to
represent machinery on paper in all its
phases ; in the lecture hall learns to test the
combinations on mathematical principles
the power and strength from the crude ma
terial up to the finish. So that, at the end
of four years if he has been diligent,
he is qualified to lake charge of an estab
lishment. A like training takes place in all
the other practical branches; the civil engin
eering class receives three months field prac
tice, where it is taught among other things
the use of all the instruments pertaining to
the art, from the common field compaas to
intricate astronomical indicators. The stu
dents of the machine branch are construct
ing a machine, with improvements of their
on, to be exhibited at Philadelphia next
summer.
Journalism is also taught. Several of the
graduates hold important positions in that
line one on the editorial staff of the New
York TrWine. Printing and telegraphing
are also practiced.
Two of the University crew of the second
day's race at Saratoga were from the ma
chine shop ; another is working his way
through the University by his labor on the
University farm, and elsewhere ; while Cap
tain Ostram, who his a high standing in
the engineer class, is working his way by
his own efforts, as are also a large per cent,
of the other students.
This institution is up with the spirit and
wants of the times, and will exert an im
mense influence on the educational interests
of the country. First, the terms and fa
cilities for the highest order of an educa
tion come within the reach of the poor.
Second, science and the arts are so com
bined as to make these Useful sources of
productive wealth effective in the highest
degree, and will ennoble the arts; and, third,
it will reverse the influence of tho higher
order of scholastic attainments, by popular
izing the useful rather than the ornamental.
Why cannot our school system be organ
ized on the same liberal basis, to meet the
wants or genius of the pupil, and'make
them minor grades of the liberal institutions
into which our pupils may enter, even with
the highest preparation required, while
others, withditlercnt pursuits in view, may
diepene with long and tedious courses that
will be useless either in entering the col
lege or in their business affairs in after
life? Whatever may be the intention? or
ambition of the pupil, give him at least a
sub-tantial English education.

less, it will be noticed, than in
1851; in I860 it was nearly $11,
000,000. Iron exports increased from
$4,000,000 to $7,800,000. The same thing
appears to be true of British commerce.
Thus, the domestic exports of Great Britain
increased but twenty-two per cent, in the
six years ending with 1875. Then, having
remained nearly stationary for a year after
the London panic of 1866, they took a
start and increased forty per cent, in the
four years ending with 1872 at which time
the usual counteracting influences set in,
wages being increased, price going up and
exports diminishing again. It is really,
as from these data it would seem to be, a
law of foreign commerce, we ought soon to
regain a place in foreign markets. At all
events there are plenty of these markeU
where our large excess of production could
be disposed of, with little more risk of loss
than there is in keeping them for sale here,
and with certain advantage to the market
at home.

THAT C0TOT HOUSE.
Leavenworth has a building originally
intended for a market house, but which has
not been used since its erection. It stands
away from the business part of the city, an
eye-sore to passers by. But it seems that in
this respect we are not more unfortunate
than our neighbor up the river, St. Joseph.
That town has an elegant new court house
in process of erection, but no money can be
obtained to induce the contractor to pro
ceed with the work. From the Gazette we
learn that two efforts in this direction have
already been made. "The first was rendered
invalid by the refusal of the County Treas
urer to pay the warrants drawn upon him
by the Clerk of the Court. The Treasurer
acted in accord with legal advice, it being
the opinion of several of the best lawyers
in that city that by paying the warrants
out of the fund specified by the Court, the
Treasurer would lay himself liable to pros
ecution upon his bond. The second
effort of the County Court to unravel this
Gordian knot was at its last session, when
an issue of $10,000 worth of bonds was or
dered. At the same time Col. Storm, the
Superintendent of the work, was ordered to
proceed with work upon the Court House.
Col. Storm had an idea that the action of
the Court in the issue of the bonds was not
altogether legal, and he therefore applied
before Judge Grubb for an injunction upon
the issue of these bonds. Last Saturday
the injunction was granted, and it now
looks as if we would have to wait two years
longer for the completion of the Court
House. And why? Because there seems to
lie no way to procure funds for its comple
tion, except by legislative procedure. '
It will probably be remembered that

Democratic rule. Further remarks arc unnecessary.

DEATH OF ASDKEW J0HHS0H.
The telegraph, late last night, brought
the sad news of the death of Senator An
drew Johnson. His sudden and almost un
expected demise will fill many hearts with
sorrow, for Andrew Johnson was respected
and honored by a majority of the people of
this country. He was an American, of hon
orable parentage, beginning life as a

of distinction and fame, uo

He has been an alderman, member
of the legislature, Governor, Congressman,
U.S. Senator, Vice-President and President
of the United States. The public acts of
the last ten years of his life cannot be en

Johnson was guilty of forsaking the
grand o'd party that placed him
in power. And yet, the other dav.
when he was elected United States Senator
from Tennessee, the Xorth congratulated
the whole country on the choice, because it
was a victory for the liberal, repentant peo
ple of the South, over a few discontented
rebel generals. The lateness of the hour
prevents us from publishing a biography of
the deceased statesman. He had his eccen
tricities and his faults; he was open to
criticism, but in his final resting place, the
American people will bury everything ex
cept his virtues, and the memory of the
sacrifices he has made in behalf of the Con

The composition of the Democratic
party is solved by the Chicago Tribune, as
follows: " It is at present made up of ex-Republicans,
ex-Liberals, ex-Whig, ex-Abolitionists,
and largely of ex-rebtls. These
have no common jolicy or principle. It is
a combination of factions, and each faction

The population of Leavenworth, every

years ago. Kansas City people admit that
the population of that town has decreased
very much in the last three years. So it is

Valley. To deny the fact is very silly and
foolish, and only evidences a spirit of
braggadocio and untruthfuln ess. The cen

THESE 18 A GOOD TIME COstlHO
We have advices from forty-five Repre
sentative counties of this State, which show
that the yield of corn and wheat will be ab
solutely immense. The latter is invariably
reported as showing good stalk and plump
berry, and in those counties where thresh
ing has been finished, the yield by actual
measurement has been oftener over than
under twenty-five bushels. Many sections
have realized thirty-five and forty bushels,
while very few fall lower than twenty. Es
timates on corn in twenty-three counties
promises an average of seventy-five bushels,
with heavy growth of stock. Sixteen
counties report an unprecedented yield of
oats, and seven counties report immense
crops of flax. Buckwheat, barley and rye
are mentioned in twenty-one counties as
surpassing all expectations In quantity and
quality. Millet, Hungarian, and other
grasses, except in a few localities where the
hoppers clipped them close, are turning out
an abundance of splendid hay, a large
amount of which finds ready sale to ship
pers. There will also be a vast amount of
potatoes and other less important vegeta
bles. The days of Kansas relief committees
arr evidently over. The people are
once mure hojiefu, and are con
fident that if the crops next year
should be as large as they are this Mason,
that hereafter they can defy grasshoppers,
chinch bugs, and every other pest that
visits the farmer.

EnrroitTiMis: When I tell you that
the general average of the wheat crop in
Cowley county will prove a yield of thirty
bushels to the acre, and that some fields
which were in fine order, raised 53 bushels
to the acre, yoa will, if you believe me,
conclude that the best wheat country has
been found. Well, I am telling you the
truth. And since there is no fear of fail
ure in this and the rye crop, by reason of
their early harvest, before a summer drouth
such as last year, can affect them, Kan
sas must certainly Boon stand redeemed, in
the minds of Eastern people, as an agri
cultural State. Eastern correspondents,
all last winter, begged of friends in Kan
sas, to leave

The Grangers of this section are wide
awake on the market question. They do not
propose to sell their wheat below $1 per
bushel. Some six or eight counties, includ
ing Cowley, have formed a co-operative
stock company; and, under the supervision
of a member of the State Grange Executive
Committee, have purchased grounds at
Wichita, and are about to erect a grain ele
vator for their use. They have already
consulted with freight superintendents of
several lines ot railroads, with a view to

fully up to the age in all the fashions of
her elder and more populous sisters, not ex
cepting even Brooklyn.

an
UGLY WIFE
it is his own fault, Winfield has a photo
grapher, and he has, of course, a comely,
wejl-develoned, burnish-haired, double
chinned wife. For four years, in this arti-,-tic
family, boarded a bosom friend of the
husband a good-looking carpenter whose
Christian name was not Joseph, or Theo
dore, but Thaddeus! Everybody knows
what a difference of opinion exists on the
subject ol "social," 1 might say,
"sexual kei vnoss."
The great lightning-splitter, the Wood
hull, contends in thunder-tones for the
greatest liberty. According to her doc
trine, a passion is a natural appetite: a
natural appetite must be fed. A natural
apiictite cravesgood .thing", and good tilings
should not be shunned. Catch her throw
ing a good thing over her shoulder! On
the other hand, the wisdom of the best
known civilization, embracing a long expe
rience in ethics, contends that decency ana
good government require a restraint of the
natural appetite and a limitation of human
conduct in social as well as in other ref
lations, prescrik-d by mandatory laws.
However, the csrjicnter and
rilOTOGKArilESS
inclined to the Woodhull. Thaddeus was
steady. He preferred staving at home
evenings to spending his time at the sa
loons. So the husband felt happy that his
wife could always have good sale company
in his absence.
But alas ! the neighbors. Those terrible
argus eyed cats, watch dogs, guard, over
their neighbor's interests, saw something 1

done it. Soon the wife goes to visit friends.
The husband, in an evil hour, read Wood-
nulls exlixer ot lite "6," and found an
affinity in a colored lady living next door.
About this time a Methodist revival caught
him, when his wife coming home, his
piety compelled him to Teas to her, his
great sin. Then commenced trouble.
What flesh and flood could not stand, red
hair, certainly could not be expected to.
So, back she went to her friends in Illi
nois; the grieved husband dropping a tear
stained letter in the Post-office to follow
her; but forgetting something which he
wanted to insert, gets it out of Die office for
that purpose, when, Io it was'nt hit letter,
but another man's letter! Thaddens had
written also. Two suits are now pending
in our Di-trict Court in which the husband
is plaintiff; one for divorce, and one against
Thad. But it Is said the wife will sue for
divorce in Illinois.

At Least the United States Cum
niissionerSo Decided.
United States Commissioner Lecomptc
rendered this decision in the Hngan
O'Brien case yesterday morning at 10
o'clock. In the summing up of the case,
the judge construed the statute of the Unit
ed States, providing for the punishment of
the crime of manslaughter. He held that
Sergeant Hogan's treatment of the prisoner
did not cause said prisoner's death, ac
cording to the sworn testimony of several
medical experts. A thorough jost mortem
examination of the body of
the deceased revealed no contusions,
abrasions, Ieisions or marks of any kind
whatever, showing that no violence had
been used, and that he could find no reason
able probability to presume that the death
of O'Brien was the result of Hogan's treat
ment of him. The Judge then commented
upon the evidence presented for the prose
cution, s lying that it was difficult to ascer
tain whether vioUnce had been u-edor not.
As there was no criminating evidence offer
ed there was no reason whatever for the
conviction of the accused. The
Judge considered that the conduct
of Hogan toward the prisoner was
inhuman, for the reason that when a man
is sick he is entitled to humane treatment ;
and any but such he would emphatically
characterize as inhumane. What Hogan
did, however, was done under a misapre
hension of O'Brien's condition. If O'Brien
had been, as Hogan supposed was really
the case, simply shamming, that which
Hogan did could not have injured him. In
conclusion, the judge said that after giv
ing me case a thorough ami
and careful investigation, he considered
that the ends of justice would not be sub
served by holding Hogan to answer for tri
al, and considered it his duty to discharge
the prisoner. The prisoner was thereujon
discharged from castody.
There were two causes for O'Brien's death
put forth in the trial, one being that he
died from he effects of the sunstroke, and
the other to the effect that he was kicked
to death. The surgeons of the jiost, how
ener, declared that when they received
the prisoner from the hospital he was
entirely cured, and consequently he could
not have died from that cau-e ; and on the
other hand, as Hogan's kicking of him
wasn't sufficient to produce death, he didn't
die from that tau-e ; ami it only remains
to say that the m.in is dead and the case
is clo-ed.

The New York Tribune announces that
the Postmaster-General has selected the
mail route along the shores of the lakes for
the fast mail train to the West, expecting
to begin to run on the 1st of October., It
will make the distance from New York to
Chicago in not more than twenty-eix hoars;
they hope to reduce the time to twenty-four
hoars, a gain of twelve hours over the pres
ent mail and express train. The amount
of mail matter to be carried by this train
will be enormous. There will be four large
postal cars of improved construction, capa
ble of carrying thirty-five tons of matter ;
and, it is thought by the Department, the
amount to be carried will reach forty-five
tons before the expiration of six months.
The greater part of the work of distribu
tion will be done on the can. Newspapers
will be taken in by bandies, and folded and

point of the extension, the probable line is
through Clay, Cloud and Mitchell counties,

the road, and they deem it to be of advant
age to their city to acnuire another throush

Mr. Storms was Supervisor of this end of
the first division of the K. P. railroad and
on Saturday morning was in charge of a
gang of men on with a construction train,
gathering up the old iron along the line of
the road, and conveying it to the rolling
mills, at Topeka. They had got a load and
were taking it down when the accident oc
curred. After leaving Rossville, Mr.
Storms took a seat upon a stock car, just in
front of a flat-car loaded with the old iron.
While the train was running at the rate of
eighteen miles an hour, the front end of a
rail upon the flat-car got outside the
standard. Mr. Storms, seeing the
danger that must inevitably follow
if the rail struck the ground, and
fell between the cars, got upon the car and
stooping over, attempted t pull it back in
side the standard. Just at this moment the
car passed over a rough joint in the track
the end slippedJJrom his grasp, striking the
ground, the center of the rail caught upon
the middle standard of the car, thus caus
ing the rear end of the rail to swing around
with the rapidity and force of a bolt of

the head, mashed the skull and almost sev

In the meanwhile the deputy patrolled the
prison and the prisoners slept (plietly in their
cells. But the weather was warm, and the
wiley god of sleep soon began to exercie
his influence over the trusting deputy. Fi
nally said deputy laid down, and Wore he
knew it, wa sound asleep. The hours roll
ed on, but unnoticed by the unconscious
watch. Midnight was announced by the
clock, and one, two. three, four
o'clock succeeded it. At this
juncture the deputy awoke ami gazing
wildly around, cast his hall-opencu eyes to
ward the faithful timepiece. Four o'clock !
and he was to awake the sheriff at two. He
sprang hastily up, but before waking his
sujierior glanced into the cell where the
prisoners had been but a few hours before,
but alas ! the cage which knew them once
knew them no more. The birds
had flown, not even leaving liehind them
one word to cheer the disconsolate deputy,
and to keep him company in his hour of
distress. The sheriff was immediately no

pursuit. At the last accounts, however, no
news from the prisoners had liecn received,
and they are now roaming their native

JES8E JAMES-
An Outlaws Flea and the Comments of the
Hew York Times Thereon-
Mr. Jesse James thinks it high time that
this cruel war wa3 over. Pursued as he is
by a blood-thirsty radical press, he addresses
a letter to a Nahville newspaper asking in
terms of great bitterness why the bloody
chasm is not cloed. After being pursued
from State to State by the myrmidons of
the law, he cries with despair, "Let us
have peace." Jesse Jame, according to
his own account, is a high-toned gentleman
persecuted for the sake of the ex-Confederacy,
of which he was an active defender.
According to Kentucky and Tennessee
newspaper, he is one of the notorious gang
of thieves and brigands known as James
and Youngers. This accomplished outlaw,
stung to madness by the sharp comments of
the newspajiers, makes a statement follow
ing the example of innumerable other il
lustrious people. So long as the slanders
of which he complains were confined to
Northern journal, lie submitted to them
"with silent contempt." But when these
stories were re-echoed in the South, his no
ble nature broke quite down, and he was
ready to say, "And you, too, Brutus !" Ex
actly what he did say was - "It is enough
persecution for the Northern newspajiers
to persecute as without the papers in the
South jwrsecuting as. 'J he land we fought
for four years to save from Northern
tyranny, to be persecuted by papers claim
ing to be Democratic, is without reason."
Wbv should a horse-thief be persecuted by
a Democratic newspaper? Jesse James
has the true party view of things. He has
always voted the Democratic ticket. He
has no term of obloquy more bitter for
Pinkerton's detectives than "Sherman bum
mers" and "Chicago assassins." Like a great
many other people rf clouded reputation,
he objects to "sen otional reports" in the
newspaper. Jam-j. says that "Old Ely,
the Sherman bummer, is keeping up these
reports in Ky." How natural tbat sounds.
Every rogue pursued by the consequences
of hi crimes, thinks he a persecuted
and outraged citizen, lie only asks
for a suspension of public opinion when
public opinion is asking for hi sapen.ion.
It is as a partisan, however, that Jesse
James makes his strongest plea. Why, he
urge, should he, a Democrat and a South
ron, be reproached with horsestealing and
burglary by Democratic and Southern
newspaper: ? This sort of persecution, he
admits, he expects from "the radikl pa
pers here in Mo." for he writes from some
Bnsinesi Prospects
Some se cent report of the closing of cot
ton mills at Lawronee, M ."...., and the sii
Iension of business at the extensile manu
factories at C'ochoes, N. Y., have had a
very iliscouragini effect with tho-e disjo ed
to see a bright tide in the near future.
Notwithstanding those unfavorable report,
and they are probably true a far as they
go, they are nevertheless, ome favorable
items holding out encouragement for the
ho'iefii!. For instance, we notiev in the
Isi-tun pa.T that business iseomparatixe-
ly good in iddddeloru and ac. Hie .Mi'ls
are all running and considerable hiiiMing
isgoingon. 'the Mauehaug Company .ii
Sutton is running on full time, emphlvin
oer live hundred hand, and wage Imw
bten twice raiseil to olF-et the reeluction
made during the panic. As further evi
dence, of iinrea-eil business in New Ki z
land we notice; that the We:inin-ter Na
tional Bank of Westminster, Mass., with a
capital of $100,000, hi Uen authorized to
begin business, and that the capital of
Winchedon National Biuic has been ralnil
from S-'iO.OuO to $2uo,00l. Backing all this
there is an increased confidence in the fu
ture and further enhancement in values
in respou-e to the propett of large crops
throughout the country ami a good exjnirt
demand for our surplus grain. The Jlr
preM says: "The indications in regard to
the fall trade are favorable, and liusiiK-ss
is likely to be good." With an active
movement in the crojH and a gissl trade
the railway will find increa-eil employ
mei.t and the industries of the country
will steadily- revive. Some of the more
sanguine think the general outlook for the
fall should naturally inspire confidence in
better time. The slock market are slow
ly but surely awakening to the improve
ment that now seems probable. The
money market is cxtremelv ca-v, and the
oflerings of capital largely in excess e,f the
demand. IliitiuMpliui Jjul'jer.

After obtaining all that was in the i-o-ression
of their victim, the robliers left him
to help himself as bet he conld, but lie
fore leaving, shook a pistol in his face, re
marking, "O d d n you, if you cry out
or make a noise, until we are out of Mght,
we will return and kill you." Mr. If. kept
quiet, yet worked hard to release iiim-if,

and related his tory to the iIice. He
represents the men as being well armed.

One Boy Killed aad Another Fatally
jnred.
A sad accident occurred near the old
bridge at 'Wyandotte last evening, abo'lt
half-pat five o'clock. 3f r. ShewaherV little
boy Ferdinann, nine yearn old, was terribly
mangled, the switch engine rnnning over
him. Ills left leg was torn from his bodv.
His parenU were frantic with grief when I ih lieit, itoirifj auJ Difficult h'rnih n. Hat
hu corpse was brought home, rre-d, anda
colored boy, the wn of Mrs. Edmund?, were
on the platform in front of the car, when
the engine backed, and in jumping off) the
colored boy cleared the earn, bnt was
severely if not fatally injured, about the
head and idioulder. The white bov fell
tinder the wheel. It Is to lie hoped that
this may be a lex-on to both parent and
children, as it ha heretofore been a diffi
cult job for the engineers and brakesmen to
keep the boys from iampiru; on the train
while it was in motion. A". C. Journal ZUth,
