\ NEW VERsION.-From several diff
ferent parties we have received infor-
nation which, if correct, throws a some
what different light upon the Ford
Hancock battle, which was spoken OF
in last weeks paper. The gist Of the
difficulty, as explained to us, is simply
this-Ford for four years was a good
Union soldier, and the Hancocks, now
and always, good soldier haters. On sew.
eral occasions they have tried to involve
Ford in fight where all the "backing''
waon their side. This they succeeded in
doing when the fight TRANSFERRED, and
Ford AYERS that not only did Hancock
jr. receive moral encouragement from
the cheers and sympathy of his friends
son by kicking Ford while the fight was
in progress.
On last Saturday, we are told, the
same Hancock crowd waited upon the
old battle ground for one Mcneil, who
had expressed q desire to have been
present At the previous fight that he
might have assisted Ford, with the ill.,
tention of licking him, (McNeiD in the
same manner. When the victorious
Hancock espied in the distance Mcneil
approaching alone, on horseback, he
fairly stamped with impotence to be at
him, and invoked the muses. thusly:
"By the beer that works within me,
BY my bruised and fattened snleller,
BY my eye that 3 put in mourning,
. Ill lick him worse nor tothcr feller.'
But when . little moro observation de-
veloped the fact that wagon full Of
McNeil's friends, who had come down
too SEQ fair play, was just behind him,
the valorous Hancock and his hackers
incontinently fled the neld, followed by
the taunts Of Men.

THE CONCERT given by the Thomp-
son & Parkhurst' Troupe, Wednesday
evening of last week in the Congrega-
tional Church, was better attended than
anything of the kind has been for 10!
these many days. The singers fully
sustained the enviable reputation which
they have we'll and fairly won since
their Introduction to Iowa audiences.
Mr.. Thompson was said to be a tritle out
of voice on account of a bronchial affec-
ton; but it did not prevent him from
rendering several ballads and his won
derful Swiss Echo Song in highly ac-
ceptabie manner. Geo. Parkhurst gave
with good effect "The Exile" from the
German, aud "Rocked in the Cradle OF
the deep;' and John, the irrepressible
John, nearly convulsed the audience
something like half dozen times by his
laughter provoking comicality. Any.
body who can sit under Johns efforts in
Il humorous song, and keep a straight
face, would enjoy eating cells on an ice
berg in the Arctic ocean. Taken alto
gether, the concert was decidedly good;
and can be recommended both on &C.
count Of artistic merit and admirable
versatility. They gave us pretty large
proportional of humorous pieces; but il
inclined to complain, We should remem-
Der that they always make their selec-
tons to suit the spirit evinced by their
audiences.

EASY LESSON IN GEoGRAPHY.--We
have several reasons for writing upon
the earth, the principal one being the
imperfect facilities afforded for getting
upon any other planet to write. Moth
ing prevents our writing upon the sun
or moon except the difficulty of getting
there.
1t is estimated that about two thirds
Of the surface of the globe Is covered
with water. Although millions of liv-
ing creatures slake their thirst daily,
the quantity of water has not been ma
terially diminished for centuries past, at
least not since the introduction OF VIII is
ky shops, which prove = great saving Of
water, and are therefore of immense
benefit to navigation.
The greatest distance from the earth
to the sun is IS, OOO,OO0 miles, and the
least distance something over $1,000, 900
miles. A saving of 9, OoO, 900 could be eff
fected ifa railroad should ever connect
the two by taking the least distance
This would shorten the time consumed
in running and reduce the expense very
materially.
The earth turns upon its axis making
one revolution in twenty four hours, ex
cept in Mexico-there they have a rev.
olution two or three times every day.
1t ain't every fool ola planet that can
get around the sun. The earth does
however. She would get around most
anything.
Tie earth Is not such dismal place
to live upon as many try to make it out
to be. So as far as our knowledge ex-
tends-and we probably know rs much
about it as any body-it is far prefable
to any of her sister planets as perme-
nent residence. At least we are satisfied
with it, and intend to remain here As
long as we are ION EARTH

On Friday, the 6th inst, at Mount

pions of the Methodist faith in this
country-Dr. Charles Elliott. Born in
Killy begs, ireland, in 1872, he failed in

organ of the Methodist Episcopal! Church
in the United States. After Il clerical
interval of four years, in 1882 he was
again elected editor Of the Adrocate,
completing in its service fifteen years of
editorial life. DIR. Elliott was an out
spoken anti-slavery man and anti
Catholic. Though never accepting any
prominent office at the disposition Of
his church, he always exercised II pow
erful influence in shaping its policy and
in advancing its progress. In addition
to his editorial labors, lie published IA
