A Strange Story.
CKSTINY IS 80ME1IMKS PAST FINPIXO OUT.
A man (liod in Kansas City several
weeks ago, whose life had been a
weary one—and, maylre, harder than
he could hear—for to those who knew
him there were a few hints of a brief
death struggle that was not natural.
Gerge S- was horn in Kentucky,
and came to Cooper county, Missouri,
at the age of sixteen. This was in
1888. Soon his parents died, and he
was left alone and penniless. In 1856
he went to California, entered the
mines with the zost of a boy, worked
hard, was successful, bought land
near Sacramento City, aud soon be
came a rich and prosperous man. In
1858 lie met the woman who, tluough
no fault of his, was to exert such a
sad influence upon all his after life.
This woman was said to be beautiful,
accomplished, pure * and loveable.
If— met her, was fascinated, proposed,
and as a result an engagement fol
lowed. The wedding day had been
suggested iti it had not been decided
upon, and for one brief month the
sun of happiness shone out solacing
before the clouds closed over it.
Preceding the wedding it became
necessary for It to return to the
mines to arrange some business there
claiming his immediate attention. He
went, became involved in a quarrel
with a man he had never seen, was
•attacked, aud to save his own life kill
ed his antagonist. The dead man was
his intended’s brother. He did not
know it then, nor until his trial was
over, nor until after he went again to
Sacramento to see all that he had ever
known or loved.
It is not necessary to depict their
interview—the terrible remorse on one
side, the frenzied reproach and regret
on the other. At last the sister grew
frightfully calm —so calm indeed, that
she told of her brother ; how he had
left home at the first news of the gold
discovery ; how he had not written ;
how wild stories had come back of his
recklessness and dissipation ; and at
last the dreadful day when he lay
dead at the feet of her lover.
R ’s grief was no le.ss hitter
than that of the stricken sister, and so
when she said to him, ‘I will love you
till I die, but I will never marry you
on this earth, because my brother’s
blood is upon your hands,’ he sold out,
everything he owned iu California,
and came to Missouri, first pledging
to each other that they would corres
pond as regularly as the condition of
the mails then permitted.
She wrote once and no more. In a
month following her first letter she,
too, had gone to join her first brother
iu the eternal world. This second
blow fell heavier than the first for the
poor man had some hopo while the
woman lived. Now he was alono for
ever.
Presently the war came and R
enlisted iu the Confederate army. In
the hot charge made upon the Grave
yard Port, at the battle of Helena,
Arkansas, a minnie ball passed through
both R ’s cheeks, and cut his
tongue evenly otf about
length. After that he never spoke an
intelligible word again. Indeed, he
cared very little to speak. In subse
quent battles he tried very hard to
throw his life away, aud was noticed
in his command for the most reckless
audacity. At Jenkiu’s Ferry it seemed
as if he would get what he most de
sired, for he' was badly shot in the
head, the skull being fractured and
the brain exposed. He recovered in
so much that the wound healed, but
the [>oor tried man had convulsions
until lie died. It is supposed that
these convulsions impaired his mind
to a certain extent, for he frequently
declared he saw the face of the wo
man he once loved —the faoo of the
woman whoso memory had never left
him during all the bitter and sorrow
ful years of his life.
But he is at rest now. Let us hope
that his soul ha3 joined in the spirit
land the soul of one who went out in
to eternity under tho shadow of a
great darkness.

Around Hie World.
The New York Mail says : The Erie
Railway Company sent us a circular
a few days ago, enclosing a statement
of routes, time, and distances em
braced in making a modern circuit of
the globe. The circular says, and we
agree with it, that “in all probability
the time is not distant wheu we shall
see advertised in our journals and on
thoroughfares tho novel announce
ment, ‘Through Tickets for Passage
Around the World sold here ; baggage
checked to Hong Kong, Calcutta, or
Bombay ; only two changes to
Shanghai.’
The statement of routes, times and
distances referred to takes the sliupe
of a ticket a yard long, across the face
of which is the painful joke, “Good
for one lesson in modern geography,
but not good for passage.” Tho les
son in geography is, however, instruc
tive, and we are sure of the learning
if not of tho ride.
We start from Now Yoi’k to do the
circle and we do it, in our imagination,
in this fashion:
To Buffalo or Cleveland, 423 or 625
miles by the Erie, in seventeen or
twenty-four hours.
Thence to Chicago, 538 or 355
miles, iu twenty-one or fourteen hours.
Thence to omuha, 490 miles, in
twenty-three hours.
Thence to San Francisco, 1,950
miles, in ninety-throe hours.
Thence to Yokohama, 4,714 miles,
i 1 twenty-one days.

Brutality in South Carolina.
The Charleston Naw* says : The
other evening the attention of persons
in the Mills House lobby were at
tracted by shouts of “help,” proceed
ing from a white man who was being
taken to the guard house by three ne
gro policemen. The man was resist
ing the* policeman, who were dragging
him over the pavement in, a brutal
manner. The party from tho Mills
House came forward and remonstrated
with tho policemen, and requested
them to use less force, and to conduct
tho prisoner to the station house in a
decent manner. Tlioy asserted that
they knew their business best, and the
man, who was half crazed by the
treatment he received, would listen to
no reason. No attempt at rescue waF
made by the party, nor were the po
licemen interfered with in any way
except by remonstrance; yet three
gentlemen were arrested on arriving
at the guard house, and chargod with
interfering with tho police in tho dis
charge of their duty. Several persons
present proffered their testimony to
disprove this charge, but it was not re
ceived. Ten dollars security was re
quired from each of the prisoners, and
their names, weight and height en
tered on the books. One of the party
was an ex-United States Colonel, an
other hailed from Boston, and the
third was from this State. The pris
oner whose brutal treatment caused
the remonstrance and subsequent ar
rest of the party, was charged with
disturbing a colored congregation in
Wentworth street. The noise from
this congregation, by the way, can be
often heard two squaros. Tho priso
ner was a German who could not un
derstand his colored captors, and dis
liked the manner with which they en
forced their authority.

Wanl* v s (lie -Tlodern World.
The Cottrier Jovtmal, in an able arti
cle under the heading of “Wants of
Peace, after speaking of former times,
and the course of ambition in the days
of Nimrod, Julius Caesar, and others,
says:
The world has changed. The richi
intellectual powers of man have been
developed. The civilized world no
longer wonders after a great ™»n as
if he were a child of the gods. Tho
splendid realms of science and art and’
literature afford to genius a more soul—
satisfying employment than sehameo
of conquest. Life has become earnest
in the individual; and in proportion
as life is earnest there is the indomita
ble purpose, guided by
to amohorate its state and condition.
It has been found that ther mesne if
temporal prosperity are treasured up
in nature, iu the products of the soil,
in the beds of minerals, in useful in
ventions and discoveries, in the power*
and adaptations of nature to the arts
of peace. The idea of conquering na
tions has given place to the idea of
conquering nature, and laying her
treasures under contribution to ther
wants of man. The task of states
manship is becoming mure and mors
the science of peace—the art of direct
ing the energies of a great people in
opening up and bringing into practic
al requisition the natural resources
which a kind and merciful Providence
has provided them with in the geo
graphical limits and relations which
it has assigned to them as their home.
We want roads to facilitate the tran
sit of all manner of products, macad
amized roads and railroads, so as to
bring tho producer and the consumer
face to face in the markets. We want
bridges erected over streams, rivers
cleared of obstructions, light-houses
erected, and harbors improved. W»
want communications, cheap, safe, aud.
speedy, between the heart and distant
extremities of the country. We want
the minerals worked and turned into
utility, ornament, comfort and wealth.
We want tho native energy and in
dustry of human nature stimulated by
finding employment for every one, by
which he may at least find exemption
from the consuming and demoralizing
cares of actual waut. We want, a
profound sense of the true object of
government developed in the hearts of
the people, that it is an instrument
with which the better to secure the
present good of each and all. We
want treaties with all nations, through,
which the most intimate mercantile
and commercial relations may be es
tablished between the great common—
wealth of tho race, and the products
of every climate qnd of every people
find a safe transit to the places where
human wants call for them. We want
cheap and certain justice-, and a pro
found sense of personal and domestic
safety. Above all, we want the mind*
ot the people educated in solid, practi
cal knowledge, that those great inter
ests of human life in the world may
be developed, secured and protected
through the intelligence and virtue of
a cultivated p tpulation. Hence w*
want colleges, universities, institutes,
wherein shall be taught the sciences,
the useful and ornamental arts, tho
deep lore of philosophy, and the grace*
of literature. We wunt a grand sys
tem of education provided and offered
to the masses, through which the toil
ing classes shall learn to labor intelli
gently and with profound self-respect,
feeling that all paths of thrift and ame
lioration belong to them of right, as
members of a common social system.
We want science and knowledge turn
ed over to the useful aud beneficial—
in the language of Lord Bacon, we
want “fruit.” We want the causes of
destroying epidemics searched out and
removed. We want the principles of
hygiene taught the people, and the
general average of human life length
ened. We want to prevent crime by
changing and modifying the circum
stances of the poople, particularly of
certain classes, and to strengthen the
domestic and social virtues by the
gradual elevation of the mind to the
usefulness of’ life. Such, in general
terms, are the wants of the modem
world. To secure these things is be
coming more and more the distinct
conception and purpose of the social
system of humanity.”
Didn't Want a Substitute.
Mr. Pilkinson, a farmer in Pennsyl
vania, w-as drafted for the service of
his country. His wife, though she
possessed but little general infor
mation, is one of the best conjugal
partners, and she was much troubled
at the thought of parting with her
husband. As she was engaged in
scrubbing off her doorstep, a stranger

‘I hear, madam, that your husband
has been drafted.’
‘Yes, sir, he has;’ answered Mra.
Pilkinson, ‘though, dear knows, there’s
few could’t better be spared from
their families.’
‘Well, madam, I have come to offer
myself as a substitute for him.’
‘A whatexclaimed Mrs. Pilkin
son, with some excitement.
‘1 am willing to take his place, said
tho stranger.
‘You take the place of my husband,
you wf6tch. I’ll teach you how to in
