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. Sale of Slock* and Bond*.

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. Thence to Hong Kong, 1,670 miles, in six days. • Thence to Calcutta, 6,500 miles, in fourteen days. Thence to Bombay, 1,219 ruilos, in two days. Thence to Catro, 3,600 miles in twelve days. O'hence to Alexandria, 100 milos, in five hours. Thence to Marseilles, 1,800 miles, iu six days. Thence to Havre, via Pais and Rou en, 575 miles, in thirty hours. Thence to New York—homo again —6,150 miles, in nine days. Thus swinging round the circle, 23,- 769 miles, in swenty-soven days and twenty-one hours, steady travel! 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. Tho next Texas Legislature will have two negroes in the «&aato and seven in the Bouse. VOL. IV. —]VO. 52. 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.
