His Last Epistl#] W .
Topeka, July 23.—An unknown man,
whose name is thought to be Frank
Rogers, committed suicide here and
made merry over his act. In a vest-
pocket memorandum book a note, cor
rectly spelled and well written, was
found, in which he said: “I really see
no use in trying to struggle agianst fate.
I think I will shuffie this mortal coil
and see how a pair of wings will affect
my equilib. What a nice subject my
stiff wjll be for a doctor. Is a man a
coward who ends his own existence?
Some say so, bat just try and see. la it
a sin to do so? I do not think so, in
some cases—this one, for instance. Will
see you later, say about judgement day.
Will that suit? Well, that is all.”
He had evidently signed his name
and addressed to the note and then
erased it. On the top of the next page
of the notebook was written in the Morse
alphabet, “My name is Mud.” His
home was evidently in New York.

A Liberal Education.
Here is Huxley’s definition of a lib
eral education : “ That man,” said he,
“ has a liberal education who has been
so trained in youth that his body is the
ready servant of his will, and does with
ease and pleasure all the work that, as a
mechanism, it is capable of; whose in
tellect is a clear, cold logic engine, with
all its parts of equal strength and in
smooth working order, ready, like a
steam engine, to be turned to any kind
of work, and spin the gossamers as well
forge the anchors of his mind; whose
mind is stored with a knowledge of the
great and fundamental truths of nature,
and of the laws of her operations ;
who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life
and fire, but whose passions are trained
to come to a halt by a vigorous will, the
servant of a tender conscience; who lias
learned to love beauty, whether of na
ture or of art, to hate all vileness, and
to respect all others as himself. Such a
one, and no other, has had a liberal
education.

Badly Mixed.
The following incident of New York
life shows how badly our population is
mixed:
“An Italian sent an American lad to a
Chinaman for his lauudry. The Ameri
can gave the Chinaman a 50 cent piece.
John bit on it and said: “Counterfeit;
you gittee in trouble; keepee,” and put
it in his pocket. The Italian then called
and started to give the Chinaman
beating. A Greek left his oyster stand
to act as peacemaker. The Iatlian drew
a razor and the Greek shied a bottle of
cayenne pepper at him, which struck a
Hebrew. A negro who was passing
shouted, and an Irishman in the uniform
of a policeman arrested the fighting
congress of nations which was presided
over by a Dutch police justice.

The Decline of Statesmanship.
We Clip the following article from the
Madisonian. Tfte truths it contains will
be obvious to oiir readers:
“The decline; of statesmanship in our
country from the high philosopic plane
once occupied by the “Fathers of our
Republic,” so well maintained by the
great triumvirate—Calhoun, Clay and
Webster--and later by their peers in
Georgia—Stephens, Toombs and Hill—
has not only been noticed by those who
read with care the speeches and maga
zine contributions of the men who have
taken their places, but cannot fail to be
come a subject of painful regret to those
whose patriotism is superior to the pass
ions of prejudice, to partisan bias and
far above political chicanery. Has the
meat upon which our great men fed been
exhausted, and what is the cause of this
obvious deficiency in the intellectual and
moral force of our manhood?
Of second and third or fourth rate
thinkers and actors the arena of public
life abounds, but with the exceptions,
one may count on his fingers where in
all of the United States have we men
whose breath of thought, whose patrio
tism, whose political integrity, whose
learning and philosophic cast raise them
above the miasmatic atmosphere of par
ty, club-house politics. Mr. Cleveland,
Mr. Carlisle, Senator Morgan, Joseph H.
Choate, Thos. F. Bayard, Senator Sher
man and Allen G. Thurman, Sr. come
so near exhausting the list of our planets
of the first magnitude that we have to
wait a long time for another to reach our
vision in its orbit around the destinies of
our great republic. In Georgia, where, oh!
where are our great men ? With but
two or three exceptions, however we may
be influenced by personal attachments
by state pride, candor compel;
number our representatives in congress
with stars of the second or third class,
and they are the equals of the very large
majority who are supposed to represent
the virtue and intelligence of American
manhood.
We have talkers world without end,
en whose self-conceit and vanity .would
prompt them to drive the chariot of Phea-
ton into the blazing sun. These we
meet everywhere. In mental caliber
and in their accomplishments they do
not differ from the philosopher of the
dry goods box or from the grandiloquent
orator of the hustings.
We have shrewd “wire-pullers,” ex
perts in the arts and jugglery of paity
tricks, who understand how’ to cajole
and button-hole the men who vote, but
when great questions are raised, involv
ing principles of economic philosophy
and the very genius of our institutions
of government, they are as silent
Sphynx until they discover what they
think to be the popular view of the sub
ject, and to this they turn as sensitively
as a well poised weather vane.
Our wisest, purest and most capable
men, with but few exceptions, are to be
found in the stations of private life.
They cannot be elected to office, because
they will not condescend to the low trick
ery and schemes of the average politi
cian ; because they are wanting in the
impudence and “hustling” qualities of
£Oie who, to secure the triumph of a
nomination or election, and make suc
cess a certainty, resort to practices their
sense of self-respect cannot approve.
The cause of this deficiency in our
public men can be traced directly to the
source of our greatest of evils—disre
gard oi the tenth commandment—the
sin of coveteousness—a morbid desire
for self-place and power. The revenues
of the government are so great, the in
come of wealth flowing into the public
treasury so immense, that to participate
in the spoils of office, and handle the
public money is a greater incentive than
a desire to serve the country or the peo •
pie from considerations of public policy
or of patriotism. Unless the people,
who are supposed to be the only sover
eigns in our republic, shall remove this
cause, by adopting the English plan of
making civil office a career, and limit
ing the pay of congressmen to their ac
tual expenses, the end with us will be
just what it was to the Roman people.
The political charlatan will precede the
empire by a period shorter than was the
life of Cataline or Caesar.
