A VALUABLE DIsooyERY.-A most
valuable discovery has recently been
made by Prof Swallow, in bis geological
survey Of Bourbon county, Kansas A
vein of dark, variegated marble, closely
resembling the Italian marble in texture
and character. is found about four
miles south of Fort Scott, on the line of
the railroad leading to the gulf. In the
opinion of Prof Swallow, this vein un-
derlies large section of, that region.
Scisntifc4nvestigation is Accomplishing
much for the enteprising people of Kan
sas. They could not have made better
investment than in.the expense ofa geo.
logical survey of their State under the
management of the late able State Ge-
ologist of Missouri. The discoveries of
Prof Swallow will bring large acces-
sion Of wealth and population to the
State.

iourned over until Friday; equally true
that the other did not. The Senate,

ing, and fearfully slow body, continued
its session uninterruptedly from desire
to avoid the loss Of day. The House,
which is, on the other hand, pretty much
all that can be conceived In antithesis to
this description Of the Senate, passed
motion agreeing that when it adjourned
8 on Wednesday it would be to meet again
y on Friday at certain hour This,
without any recital of the reasons for
the omission of the day in its legislation

AnecdOte OF Tom Corwin.

This interesting anecdote of the late
Tom Corwin is told by a New York cor
respondent of the Providence Journal,
who was reporter ia Washington, and
knew the great Ohioan we'll:
One evening IN the month of June,
1886, be called at my desk, for ! was
then engaged in that most delightful of
all occupaiions-delightful where you
have to follow eloquent and gentlemenly
speakers-and said to me, II am going
to speak 10 night, and I shall be much
obliged to you if you viii look out for
me" As 1 had been at my post some
ten or twelve hours without relief, re-
piled that could not think of it. ''Not
think Of it, he rejoined, "why, have
you not teased me to death to speak 7
and now when want you to report me
you will not do it. shall not occupy
the floor over thirty minutes; now you
must oblige me. I'm somewhat prepar-
ed but as / don't know bat / shall get
off the track, want you to report me-"
/ finally agreed to take him, provided
he spoke thirty minutes only he OBJ
tanned the floor. The House was very
full-galleries crowded. He had not
spoke ten minutes before members of
all sides began to crowd around him.
In twenty minutes be was literally sur
rounded by mob of members, who had
left their seats to listen. soon saw
that bis notes were discarded, and did
my best to "get him" correctly. Such
an outburst of legitimate elcquence I
had never before listened to. He was
interrupted by bursts of the
most, ,rapturous applause from the House
and galleries. vgsgEE8f@ ia 1Ta
Having at last concluded, he ran
around to me with the inquiry, "Have
you got me2" Yes; but you promised
to speak thirty minutes only. =" Well,
have I overleaped my engagements"
l'Yes, indeed, you have" How long
have / been speaking2' 1.-TWO hours
and fifty minutes exactly"
II he had spoken a week, he would
have found a willing and admiring
audience to listen to him.

Another Rebel FaIsehOOd Nailed to
the Counter. f

A paragraph, which originated in the
Corinth miss. J Enquirer, has been trav-
cling abroad, to the effect that one DR..
Blair, a quiet, peaceable citizen of that
place, was murdered without provoca.
ton, recently, by some negro soldiers.
A letter from United States officer to
the Enquirer correets the statement,
and gives the facts as follows: e'as,
DR.. Blair, instead of being the quiet,
peaceable man you represent, was, on
Sunday last, extremely boisterous, but
probably owing to the influence Of Ii
squor taE Is @sgse gA y
While riding past the camp he at
tempted 10 run over, some soldiers. at
the Time expressing, want to kill
some Cd d-n Yankee son Of a,
b-ch."
In running against q soldier in the
street, and afterwards drawing a revolv-
er upon him, originated the difficulty
which resulted in his death. After max
ing repeated threats of shooting their
d--n black hearts out, and also threat
.sning Capt. Tuttle, the sergeant who was
present thought necessary to arrest him,
and in this he was acting under stand
ing orders. DIR. Blair refused to 60 to
camp, saying that before he would go he
would shoot every id Yankee in the
place, but was willing to go to the May
or. -'ie
The sergeant, however, succeeded in
getting him started, but they had gone
but little distance when DR.. Blair again
refused to go. A soldier who was pres
8 snt when the difficulty occurred, then
arrived on the spot with bis gun to guard
the man to camp. ME
DR.. Blair refused to go, when the
guard told him to proceed. On the ut.
terance Of this order, Mr.. Blair turned
upon the guard, drew revolver, and
while in the act of pointing it upon him
was shot by the guard.
Under these circumstances, whether
.gou- terms Of wretch" and ASSASSIN .
are Justly or unjustly applied, depends
upon whether or not a soldier, because
3 heiis black, has, or has not, the right t.
ii defend his life. = Let every brave soldier
