Criminals Struck by Lighting.

AFort L~eavenworth correspondent Of
the Columbus (Ohio) Journal writes:
"a peculiar freak of nature occurred
here on the 10th ult. Fo1r men who had
been committing some crime, for which
crime warrants were issued for their ar
rest, and the proper civil authorities were
in pursuit of, sought refuge under a large
tree between here and the city, about
half a mile from the fort to protect them
from the rain, as it was raining very rap
idly and was unComonly stormy, and
such storms as are only known in Kansas,
wind blowing with terrible fury and rain
coming down in torrents, laundering and
lightning as though the clerk Of the
weather was on a bust. Well, as we NAV
say, by an interposition Of Providence.
these men we're struck by lightning, and
of course, instantly killed; but, strange TO
say, although every man was killed of the
four, not a sign of the freaks of the cleo
trio fluid was visible on the tree. Their
bodies (the men were as black as coal,
and two of them horribly mutilated the
ground was torn up for several feet around
the tree, but it remained untouched. At
the same time several houses were struck
in the city, but no damage done save the
demolition of q few chimneys."

Secretary of State under the Buchanan
administration. He entered upon the ar
duoqs and responsible duties of the Pre-
mieI at the age of seventY-four years, as
Wig Fous in body and mind as any of the
youHger leaders of his party. His health
continued good, and he remained at the
head of the Cabinet until December, 1860,
when his loyalty brought him in contact
with the President and he resigned. Had
his advice at that time been followed, we
might have been spared many of the dis
graceful scenes which marked the Execu-
tive branch ofthe government during the
next winter, and doubtless much of the
blOedshed of the late war.
Alter taking leave of public life, at the
age of s~eventy-eight, he retired to his
place in Detroit. Rarely attending pub
lie meetings, though occasionally writing
letters which were given to the public, he
spent the last years of his life beyond
the pale ofpo.itics, in thecongenial sphere
of social and religious intercourse at
his own home. Always a model in man
Der Of living, in heslthful exercise, in
temperance and in those amenities Of
conduct which shed a pleasant light upon
the path of life, he enjoyed excellent
health and cheerful spirits, and passed the
even;ngofh his days as all statesmen might
hope TO do-in that peace which is at once
rest and reward. While many-pro-
badly the majority-of his fellow-citizens
could not endorse his political principles,
all honoredt the public career and respected
the private character of the venerable
man. And now that he is dead he is
mourned by the whole nation. He was
the last of a long line of eminent men
whose experience had been for a quarter
of a century wrought into the history of
the country. Presidents, cabinets
and senators, statesmen, soldiers and
writers, with whom he was associated,
and with whose names his will ever be
remembered, have long been gathered TO
their fathers. And now, full of years
and of honors, he has taken his place
among them.
The characteristics SSof General Cas-
were force and clearness of thought, ener-
gy and strength in administration, a
healthful organization physically and
mentally, ~thoroughness of conviction and
a courteous frmness in decision. He was
not brilliant, though strong feeling some
times made him eloquent; and he was
not learned, though long reading and e1-
p~erionce had given him a great fund of
information. He wa a good speaker, of
dignifed presence though not pleasing
expression, and delivered many lectures
and addresses on agricultural, literary and
historical subjects. He was always ready,
always at self-command, never falling
below his reputation, and frequently ris-
ing above expectation. As soldier, civil
officer, and citizen, he filed the measure
of his large capacity-as a patriot and
christian, he was an honor to the country
and the age.

An Anecdotc Of DnntcI webster.

The following anecdote is good enough
for n second reading, if any one has
CHANGED TO meet with It before:
When Daniel Webster was delivering
his memorable speech at the dedication
of Bunker Hill Monument, the crowd
pressed forward to such an extent that
some were f~ainting and some crushed.
Officers strove in vain to make the crowd
stand back. They said it could not be
done. Some one asked Mr.. Webster to
make an appeal TO them. The great orator
came forward, stretched forth his hand
and said in deep, stentorian tones: "Gen-
tlemen, stand back. 1T can not be
done they shouted. Gentlemen, stand
back said he without a change Of voice.
at is impossible, Mr.. Webster, impos-
slble" Impossible p repeated Mr..
Webster, "Impossible ?" Nothing is i'm
possible on Bunker HUI" And the vast
crowd swsyed and rolled back like a
mightywave of the ocean.

Death of Colonel Seafon.

William Winstead Seaton, the Nestor
of American journalism, died in Wash
ington on Saturday, at the age of eighty
one, of cancer. Mr.. Seaton was born in
King William county, Virginia, January
IL, 1855. He became an editor before he
WAS ofage. In 1922 he became a partner
with his brother-inlaw, Joseph Gales, Jr,
il the publication of the National HutelIi-
geneer. They made that paper the best
political organ in the country. 1t was be-
fore the days of telegraphs, and its reports
of Congressional proceedings, made by
Messrs. Gales and Seaton in person, were
the sole medium through which politi-
clans could obtain an accurate idea Of
what was passing at the capital. Since
the introduction of the telegraph the pros
perity Of the I~nteLLigeleer has wsned with
the advancing years of its proprietors.
In 1860 the firm of Gales and Seaton was
dissolved by death. Now Mr.. Seaton
has followed his old partner.

The Last Days of General Cass.

- 1n 1- @~NaN
Until about two years ago, Gen. Cas-
was, TO all appearances, hale and hearty,
and not u~nfrequently might have been
seen enjoying an early morning or even
ing walk. A short time subsequent to the
above date, his health began TO fail, and
it failed very rapidly since the cold wealth
er set in last fall During the month of
January he was very i'll, and at one time
it was thought he would not live to see the
end of the month.
At times his mind was slightly affected,
owing TO the very painful nature of his
disease, but these occurrences were rare.
As a general thing, he retained his men
tai faculties until death relieved him of
his sufferings. About half an hour before
he died he spoke, but manifested an aver
sion to being troubled by any one. He
frequently referred to his past life, and
would occasionally relate anecdotes to DR..
Farrsnd, of whom he appeared to be par
ticulsrly fond. Having been informed
of the invasion of Canada by the Fenians,
he, upon several occasions, expressed his
unqualified disapproval of the movement,
and characterized it as absurd, unwise,
and calculated TO do more mischief than
good.
The last conversation of any moment
that the dying statesman had with his
relatives or friends, was on Wednesday
evening last, at which time he appeared
to be fully himself, and recognized those
who surrounded his bedside. He talked
quite freely with them.
During his illness he was attended by
DR.. Zina Pitcher and DR.. ID. o. Farrand,
the latter having remained by his bedside
almost constantly for several months
past. His disease was not "softening of
the brain" - as was reported at that time,
but a disease consequent upon old age.
HOUR OF DEATH.
About 9 O'Clock on Saturday night it
was quite apparent that dissolution would
take place. At about 10 minutes before
I o'clock on Sunday morning a marked
occurred, and eight minutes later
the soul Of the statesman had passed into
the presence of its maker. When the
bells of the city struck 1 o'clock, the pulse
had ceased to bead And all was over.
There were present at the bedside when
Gen Csss expired, his daughters, Mrs
Garfield and Madame Won LimbGrg, Nj.
S. Frost, Mr.. William Foxen, and
DR.. D. q. Farrand-
