such wa s most serious, aud we may be

thus eleratinx Lien a bo re all of bis fel

tions of thil atrocious criminal went
much furtber than tbis. Theodore
Parker, a dulinguiabed clergyman of
Boston, Aid : "Brown will die like

infinitely perfect God will take him
welcome bome. The road to LesTcn is
as abort from the gallows ss from a

Laicrs..D, another distinguished citizen
of Hasten, b'aiphemoualy spoke of
Brown as ,-a saint whose martyrdom
will make the gallows glorious as the
cro&f. Thus p'acing John Brown onan
equality with our Sarior. After some
supposed imaginary heroic acts of John
rewn In Kansas, he was more fre
quentlylcatled "OMawattomie" Brown,
than fiTen his proper nance of John.
For Ibis reason being cannonized as a
aaint, we bare given him the came by
which he was best known, St. Ossawat
tomie Brawn.
AUwboaieat all familiar with the
late struggle between tbe States will
recollect tbat constantly during the
whole contest tbe a'd and inspiration of
SU 0awattomie Brown was inToked
Ly the armies of tbe North to lead them
to Tictorr. In their tonus tbat were
considered ver sacred bis soul was rep
resent d as marching on before them
and directing and goferning their nd-

cred character of this spirit w as of more

The saiaUhipof Osaawattomle Brown

Katteringly acknewledgcd throughout
the North and less so throughout the
Northwest.
Marin? made these preliminary re
marks, which some of our readers may
consider as too many and others as too
few, w are prepared to go directly to
tbe main subject of our article: "The
murder of tbe Deyle family by St. Ossa

Isnd dIJ the like.
iicr.DCB or tuk dotls family.
We recollect of reading an account
of tLe murder of the Doyle family
shortly after it occurred. But our re
collection of tbe facta !of the case has
been refreshed through an article writ
ten by tbe Bcr. Darid N. Utter, and
pablubed in tbe Norember numoer of
the Xvrth American Iietiew. Tb rever
end gentleman is certainly Dot preju
diced sgainat Brown, for he entertained
the sacce sentiments with hiui on tbe
subject of slavery and even tbe manner
of freeing tbt slaves. For speaking of
Brown stealing slaves and running
then o2 to Canada from Missouri, he
says: "It may hare been justifiable to
steal slaves from their masters and free
them; such is tLe writer's opinion, but
la this sort of work Brown never acted
with any discretion, not even with good
sense, if freeing the slaves had been his
chiel objct. But his rest object was
to provoke the South and to commit the
North U vjjlecce and bring on a war."
Such, is the test'mony of a disinterested
witness. ;
The family of James I. Doyle lived
for along tune ia Knox county, Ten
nessee, south of the river. The hs
basd and father, James I., was gener
ally ir aitrays called Pleas Doyle. We
do not know when he removed to K so
las, but suppose it was after 1850. Tbey
settled c n a creek called Pottawat
tomle. There was a great struggle
whether Hausxs should be a slave or
a free Slat. Te prevent bloodshed and
a civil war both ptrtles agreed to with
hold lUir bands aod leave the result to
be ctear juloed through tbe ballot-box.
-"-
i be members of both, however, were
well armed and somewhat organized
for the ultimste results. Jehn Brown's
oldest son, John, Jr., was csptain of a
ride company. On the muster of this
company on a certain occasion, Jsbn
Brown. Sr.. ssid it wss - necessary Vto
begin tbe wsr in earaest.Vt and called
for volunteers to foils w hlm'. li is'not
stated whether he was a member of bis
son's company or not. But wt suppose
be was not.
No person responded to bis call for
volunteers, and his son John, who
seems to have been a man not only of
prudence, but possessed of. some con
science, opposed any. ne-leavlDg to is
cmpany to follow his fsther. Besides,
John, jr., old John ha 1 four sons and a
son-in-lsw In the companr. Over these
he took command and hire I a wagoner
to Uke them In a wagon to Pottawot
tciui creek. Oue other individual and
a pony followeJ with them, making se
ven iu all, besides Old John Brown the
commander. This squad of seven

Previous to leaving they sharpened
their heavy saterson a grindstone. As
they left, John Brown, jr., said : "fath
er, be careful; do nothing rah." They
suited for Potto wottomie creek Friday
the 23d of May, 1SCW. Tbey reached
the creek tbat night and theu old John
Brown disclosed his plan.'- lie asked
the wagoner to guide him to the head
of the creek and . on' his return be
would sweep every proslavery man liv
ing tu It. . The wagoner at first refus
ed, hut Anally late the next day, Sstur
lay, he agreed to do -. The first vic
tims they came to was the family of
Do j li-, living on Musquitn creek, a
branch of tbe Pottowottomie. It was
night and the whole family bad retired
to rest. Some surrounded the house
and old John Brown, widi others, en
tered and brought out James P. Doyle
aod his two sons, Drury and William
rhey took them about two hundred
yards from tbe house and there Brown
ordered bis men to kill them. No one
respond td to the command. Brown
theu drew his pistol and shot James P.
Do vie in tbe forehead. Some of the
others cut down William with their
heavy sabers. Drury started to run to
the house but ws overtaken and cut
down also with sabers. There was still
a younger brother about sixteen years
old whose life was spared at the en
treaty of his mother.
This was the first act of John Brown

Northern army came to was that of a

1NVOKLSO A BLE-SINU.
At breakfast that morning as the

Brown raised his hands to Invoke a
a blessing upon the food they 'were
about to eat, the prisoner GUnville,
said he saw upon them the dried blood
of his murdered victims. '
JOHN BROWX, JR., BECOMES CIUZT,-
When John Brown, Jr., heard of
these atrocities that had been commit
ted by his father he resigned the com
mand of his company, went home and
became deranged. In his raving) he
said "there cannot be any palliation for
such atrocities. Nothihg, caa excuse
them. It was very cowardly. If they
had been killed in daylight 'there
would have been some show of manli
ness, but to take men out of their beds
at inidu'ght in the presence of their
wivs and mothers aud cut them to
pieces is more savage and barbarous
than cause can justify or excuse.1
Such is ati epitome of the facts and
circumstances aitendiug the conduct
of John Brown during a pari of his
career In Kansas, as given to the pub
lic br the Iter. David N. Utter in tbe
North American lie inc. In reference
to whs: is supposed to have .been, he
roic conduct of Jshn Brown at Ossaw
attomle, from which ha derived his
soubriquet by wh ch he was afterwards
known, Mr. Utter says Instead of dis
playing courage and heroism, he ran
away from the fight, . : - J
After Jehn Brown s career in Kan
sas he was received into great favor
by leading it.'publicans everywhere
North. But his crowninz act was his
entry Into ViruinU at Harper's Ferry
with nl Northern army of three men
to stir up an insurrection anions the
slaves snd Induce tha blacks to murder
the whites. Illi subsequent execution
for this act. in the performance of
which a murder occurred, secured his
cannoalzition at a saint. . His memory
is still revred by very many KepuV
llcans North. But, as Mr. Utter says,
the time bss corue to revalue his char
acter, and tbe reputation of this cold
blooded, atrocious and merciless mur
derer should be stamped and lsblel as
it deserves to be. Aud It Is very much
to be desired tbat we shall never hare

of the people of tha United States by

A LAWYER'S SUICIDE.
A&THCR B. JOHNSON, COS K LING 8
FRIEND, KILLS HIMSELF.
Utica, N. Y., November 3.
Arthnr 11. Johnson was found this
morning in his offica shot through
the heart. His body j-as discovered
by his privalo secretary, Lena
Bender. The doctors think
he had been dead for some hours.
Johnson was an nncle of Lynch,
snot in liatavia on Tuesday last. It
is surmised that this tragedy work
ed on his mind, which had been
somewhat unsettled of late, and
that in a spasmodic aberration he
committed the lamentable act. This
suicide, following so close on the
precedent horror, has created the
gratcst excitement in this city.
Johnson, although in early life a
Democrat, was a well-known .Re
publican politician, who had always
been an intimate friend and stanch
supporter of Jtoscoo Conkling. , He
wa. for many years a member of
the State Central Committee, and
noted for his undeviating allegiance
to tho stalwart cause. He was the
recognized exponent of this faction
in Central New York.
New York, November 3. Tho
Post's Utica special savs: This
morning, at 9:45 o'clock, Lena Ben
der, a woman with whom his inti
macy has been notorious for years,
entered Johnson's room by means
of a duplicate key which she carried.
bhe saw the dead man, and ran into
the ball shrieking, "Oh, he s dead!
A gentleman having offices on tho
floor hurried in, and the news flew
over the city like wildhre. The
ofiico and street in front were quick
ly hlled with men. The woman in
the present case is not over twentv-

years, and her home, just across the

He had a wife and four interesting
children, the oldest under twenty
years of age. Johnson has in re
cent years been conspicuous as a
stalwart Republican and a close
friend of Uoscoo Conkling. Presi
dent Arthur appointed him a com
missioner to examine a section ol
the Northern Pacific Railway. His
death is a shock to this community,
but is not entirely a surprise. He
was a brother ot the late Judge
Alexander S. Johnson.
IJV IMPORTANT QUESTION".
From tho Kcw York Sun .
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Telegraph and Messenger of Macon,
is fully alive to the responsibility of
the Democratic majority in the ap
proaching Congress. That journal
thinks that, "so far as the future of
the party is concerned, the choice of
a Speaker is of far less importance
than the record which the Demo
cratic majority will make after the
House shall have been organized.
The Itepublican majority of the
last Congress was renl&oed hv a ma
to reduce the enormous and
p ; j
unnec
Their essary Duraen ot taxation.
shameless obedience to the leader
ship of Secor Robeson and their un
paralleled recklessness in spending
the immense surplus in the Treas
ury on naval jobs and river and har
bor jobs and pension jobs so disgust
ed the voters that they drove . them
out, together with their notorious
leader, and elected Democrats in
their places. The present House of
Representatives is thus cloarly pledg
ed to a reduction of expenditures.
retrenchment in every possible form,
and uncompromising hostility to the
Naval lung, to the Whisky King,
and to every corrupt agent that
haunts the lobby. If they adhere
to that policy, the chance of electing
their candidate for President in 1884
is almost a certainty. Nothing will
contribute to make it certain so
much as the inauguration by the
Democrats in tho next House of the
expected reforms. The importance
of this fact cannot be exaggerated.
Its gravity cannot be too strongly
impressed on the people's Repre
sentatives. The Republicans centrol tho Sen
ate and all the executive branches
of the Government. The whole re
sponsibility resting on the Demo
crats is concentrated in the House.
But tho election of the Speaker will
be of paramount importance in de
termining their policy. They need
a tried, experienced, strong-willed,
incorruptible leader; and if they
should choose a man who, however
brilliant and praiseworthy he may
be in other respects, lacks the force
and determination to control the
majority in the interest f economic
reform, then all hope of the Demo
cratic party coming into power now
may be abandoned. The member
of the House who has already served
as Speaker, and who is most unques
tionably committed to retrenchment
and hostility to the lobby, is Samuel
J. Randall. If he is elected Speaker,
the Democratic party can be sure
that it is on tho right road for vic
tory in 1834.
Tho scene of the murders com
mitted by , . the notorious Bender
family near, Cherryvale, Kas., is
again the theater of interest and ex
citement For a long time past the
farm occupied by the Benders has
been swned and ran by J. C. Mur
phy. About ten days ago Murphy,
while plowing, unearthed a sealed
tin can, which, on being opened,
was found to contain a lot of green
backs, silver and gold, amounting
in all to more than $30,000, : It'is
supposed that the money is the pro
ceeds of a few of the many robber
ies and murders of tho Benders. It
is said that Murphy's claim to the
money will be contested by friends
of the victims of the Benders, who
assert tbat they can identify a por
tion of the money. Parties are said
to be digging here and thero on the
farm with the hope of finding more
money. V ,f
MAltKIED AX OLD CLIENT,
A. WASHINGTON LAWYER MARRIES A

T-yf MURDER TRIAL.
Washington, November 2.The
friends of Joseph II. Bi-adley, the
oldest and one of the' foremost law
yers of the District of Columbia barv
wero considerably excited to-day by
the discovery that on- Aednesday
he was united in m am age to t
former client, Miss Mary Harris.
The trial of Mary Harris in July,
18Go, for the murder, of Adoniram
J. Burroucrhs, a Treasurv clerk, is
still remembered as "a celebrated
case" in the annals of crininal trials
in Washington. It created almost
as gseat sensation at the time as did
the trial of the assassination con
spirators, which, preceded it by a
few weeks. During tho trial the
phrase "paroxysmal insanity was
coined and it proved an effective
one. for 3Iary Harris was acquitted

Voorhees, then a Representative in
Congress, and Mr. Bradley.
hen the verdict "rot guilty"
was pronounced by the foreman of
the jury the prisoner was greatly
agitated, and one of her first de
monstrations in the crowded court
room was to kiss Mr. Brikdly. Soon
after her acquittal Miss Harris was
declared to be of unsound mind, and
she was lor some years an inmate of
the Government Asylum for the In
sane, from which she was afterwards
discharged, cured. She is about
forty-four years of ago, and her
husband is nearly twice us old, hav
ing passed his eightieth birthday.
MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.
Malaria affects swamps, jungles,
ponds, marshes, pools and localities
where mosquitoes invariably abound.
Malaria is seldom developed at a
temperature below CO degrees F.
This temperature is likewise neces
sary for the development of the mos
quito. .
The "active agency" of malaria
ceases at 32 degrees F. The "active
agency" of the mosquito is paralyz
ed, if not quite killed, at the same
temperature.
Malaria is mest abundant and vir
ulent as wo. approach the equator
and sea-coast. Equatorial regions
are, as is well known, iniected with
swarms ef insect plagues, mosquitoes
among others ; bo also oa sea-coasts
these insects accumulate.
Atmospheric current! transmit
malaria to considerable distances
even several miles a statement
equally true of mosquitoes.
Malaria is said to have an alfinity
for dense foliage, the latter prevent
ing its further transmission when
the wind is blowing frori malarious
localities. In other words, mosqui
toes, wafted from their nurseries
(swaMps and the like), will lodge in
and accumulate by dense foliage,
timber belts, etc., which, therefore,
offer an obstruction to their further
transmission. '
Malaria may be dovelspedin pre
viously hoalthy localities by making
excavations, as for railroads, canals,
etc When -water ' accumulates in
these excavations, a mosquito-nur
sery would be furnished ; and thus
these insects would have opportuni
ties for rapid multiplication, which
did not before exist.
Periodical fevers disappear frem
any region as it becomes thickly
settled, cleared up, and the .swamps
and ponds drained; to the extent
that this takes place, so far are mos
quitoes disturbed in their propaga
tion, and besides they are more ex
posed to their ornithological foes. .
While malaria is almost inert
during the day it is most dancrerous
after tho sun is down: while, the
mosquito is, for the most part, har-r
bored in the woods and weeds dur
ing the day, it comes ot.t after sun
set, and indulges in its piercing (in
oculating) habit.
bleeping exposed in the night air
greatly increases the danger. A
person awake will move about or
otherwiso brush aside the insect that
would bite him if asleep.
' A comparative security is afford
ed in malarious district) by the' uso
of a fire. Into lamps and licht the
mosquito recklessly flies, and with
fatal result. . .s . . '-
Malarial diseases are more preva
lent, and mosquitoes are more
abundant toward the latter "part 'of
Summer and in Autumn.
Malaria is averted even by can
vas curtains, gauze veils, and mos
quito nets. It would scarcely bo
claimed that marsh air would, by
such articles, be intercepted, though
their efficacy against mosquitoes is
unquestioned. ,xcha:tge.

Indianapolis, November 4 Mary
Churchill is found, , At this writing
she is at tbe Grand Hotel here, re
tired, the doors shut to an reporters,
in company with her . uncle, l)r,
Robert Vran Valzah.of Terre Haute.
He, with his brother, the father of
the missinsr srirl. arrived here to
day. The uncle had an interview
with her, but what occurred is not
known. The father did not see her,
but to-night all three take the 11
o'clock train for St Louis, as is sup
posed. " Everything is guarded with
the strictest secrecy. one was
traced to the insane asylum, whero
she had been employed, to this city,
whence she had come on a visit to a
girl friend, thence all traces were
lost to every ono except T. J. Gal
lagher, a special -emissary.of the St
Louis Globe-Democrat, and Bob
Campbell, a captain in the police
force of this city. Those two went
to the insane asylum and getting
the matron, Mrs. Talbot, who knew
the residence of the friend where
Mary Churchill, had gone, they fol
lowed, found her, and took her back
to the insane asylum. AH this oc
curred about midnight, and they
smuggled her in the back way with
out letting tho superintendent, Mr.
.Fletcher, know they had lound her.
There she remained till to-day,
when her uncle took charge of her,
as stated. Miss Churchill left to
night in company with her father,
to pay a brief visit to her mother,
but declares she can make her own
living, and informed Dr. Fletcher
that she would report for duty on
ednesday.
ARRANGEMENTS TO BEGIN STUDYING
FOR THE STAGE.
Indianapolis, November 5. Miss
Churchill left with her friends, on
the late train last nirht for St.
Louis. She declined to take any of
her effects, saying that she would
be back next V ednesday, and re
questing Dr. Fletcher to keep her
place for. her. Prof. SlcElvy, elo
cutionists, of this city, reports that
Miss Churchill, as Miss Lockwood,
came to him last August for instruc
tions in elocution, and represented
that her parents were dead, that
she was a graduate of the St Louis
schools and that she had determined
to go on the stage.
Mr. McElvy discouraged her
plans, pointing out the difficulties in
the way. : She Went away, but re
turned again in September and ar
ranged a date to commence a course
in elocution. McElvy, learning sub
sequently that Dr. Fletcher had em
ployed her, withdrew his consent to
accept her as a student. In . his
judgment she is undoubtedly stage
struck. . He does not appear to have
a very high appreciation of her tal
ent in that direction. She sings
well, but her voice is not suited for
dramatic work. '

Kate Townsend had been living to

door and went up-stairs, remarking
that he would give himself up. He
did so and was taken to jail. The

though no doubt is entertained that
it has been there for years.. The
shroud showed evidence of having
been torn 4 n shreds, but the most
remarkable discovery was the posi
tion of the arnis which, instead ol
lying folded across the breast or fall
ing at .the side, were drawn around
the neck,' the palms nearly touch
ing.' The conclusion formedtby those
present was that she had been bur
ied alive, haviug been' in a trance
at the time of her burial. ' No one
prosent knew who she was. Father
Hastmedy says he knows nothing
of' the horrible discovery, : which
was so freely talked about on the
streets. The matter1 creates great
excitement. ; : 'r 1 '
