removed within an hour after he had

in view of the rejection of the resolU: j
tion to enquire why this was done:
“Can tlie Republican party standi
such a charge its this ? Cun they |
safoly rofnso to Investigate it? Is!
not their refusal a confession of
guilt ? Uoes It not embrace 111 Its ad
mission not only the Attorney Gen

course it. is a virtual ndmissi.>u of the ■
guilt of both Grant und his jackal |

Prof. iSeelye, in a recent lecture,
gives a different exjdanation of this
famous mode of punishment from i
j that wliioti is ofteuentertfiiaod. He
says: “It is well for us to understand, j
when we see the papers, as they oeeu
slonally <lo, taking up the subject of
English bai-bority, what is the mean
ing of this ‘barbarity.’ I have found
persons who supposed the punish
ment of tiring Sbpoys from a minion's
mouth meant that Sepoys were (u-tii- \
ally put inside the eotiuon and tired ;
out. In reality the victim was put,
about six feet ill front of tile cannon, i
which whw heavily loaded with liow-;
! der alone*; and 1 was told that no
one unfamiliar with artillery would
I have any idea of the minuteness of ]
j the fragments Into which the body I
j was scattered. This wus great punish-,
ment, not on account of the death
but because the body was seat-:
j tered and denied the rites of burial.!
i That is a terrible thing for a Hindoo,!
I and the Knglisli report and believe
that a rebeuion was Bto[i[>ed there:
ljust by tin 1 sturdy statement of an !
i English officer who said that if there |
were any signs of inutinv he would :
I subject all mutineers to this punish
ment, and it. cannot be doubted that j
this punishment was the most snlu-!
tary one, so far ns affected the u<

Texas correspondent of the 'Ohio
•State Journal writes as follows :
I notieeil some time In the summer
an aeooiitit of the killing of some
men by tho name of Crippen, from
near your idaee. by the Indians in
j Kansas. J.n a tight we had with them
yesterday six of the Indians were
killed and <me captured. He can’t, be
over eighteen years old fat und
strong. He is a full-blood Comanche.
We star too 1 him to Austin to-day.
Among t he killed was a chief, report
ed to bo Lone Wolf. He had on a Re
mington pistol and belt with an eagle
clasp. On the clasp was cut a namo, i
but l could not make it out. The;
name of tho county commenced with:
“S , Kansas, March 17,187-t," “It i
lias been put on with a penknife, and 1
! was nearly obliterated. Fastened to :
j the licit was the scalpolawliite man. i
]He must haw been pretty well up in
I years. The hair is about one-third
grey and perhaps an hu h and a -half ]
long. If that will answer the descrip
tion of Mr. Cripjven, perliaps it will j
bo sonic satisfaction to his Relatives i

handed in his cheeks and passed into
the other world yesterdny with two
bullets through his heart. Enclosed
you will lind a piece of his scalp.”

tion of Kansas City known ns “Hell’s
Half Aero. ” Hho is an old and xnueh
droaded rt-sthlent, tnnionce vanquish
ed two policemen in one battle. Af
ter this tlxo police kept their hands
off of Nancy. Tho other day Nancy’s
house was discovered to be on tire.
The door was locked. It was broken
and in tho burning bed was found
two little children in danger of
roasting. One of them was scorch
ed ami nearly smothered. Both the
children were rescued and the tire
was iiut out before much damage
was done. Then Nancy came tearing
home and wanted to know who had
put the fire but. She said she want
ed the brats burnt up, and thought
some busv people might attend to
their own’ business. The affair was
reported at the police office, but no
officer was found willing to arrest the
tormagent upon so slight a provoca
tion. Tht' children are Nancy’s own,
and the house is not much account
anyhow.

With tresses of brown aud gold.

But its teaehiugs we retain
It has taught me this, who once has loved.
