For the Sunday Appeal
A FEW WORDS.

A word is but little thing.
But often has power
To ward from evil and from sin,
In an unguarded hour. .....
When our besetting sin is near,
And some one whispers % Ifother,''.
How oft we turn away in shame,
The evil feeling smother.
Or when fierce angry feelings rise,
And rage DER US comes sweeping,
The hand appraised falls swiftly down
Just " Brother " sends us weeping.
When in an evil hour the heart
Is filed with bitter feeling,
- Sister ~ an angel voice then spoke,
The Marah Commissioning.
At that word, first on earth, in Heaven,
q Father" the tears come springing,
And deed on deed of tender care
From the dead past comes winging.
And when depressing sadness broOds,
Thy soul with blackness filling,
. Lore " lifts the cloud, and brightens all,
And makes the spirit willing.

of the word-frm in the right, but

| Col. Crane was married to the elder
daughter of Commodore Sehenck, in
this city. He leaves a widow, who
was with him in the South, and two
sons-the eldest about eighteen years
OF age, at school in Springfield, Ohio.
He was a man of commanding per-
sOnal appearance, fine social culture,
decided character, and noble and gem
erOus impulses. In this, his native
place, he had large circle of rela-
tives, acquaintance and intimate
friends, by whom he was greatly be-
love
The anguish of this bereavement is
intensified by the fact that the family
were looking forward to a happy gen.
eraI reunion at the common home in
the month of July. But few days
ago the father-in-law of Col. Crane re-
ceived information from Admiral
Porter that a squadron in the Pacific
would be placed under his command
during the next three years if he saw
fit to accept it. The members of the
family in Dayton held consultation,
and, together with Commodore
Schenck, concluded that at his age
sixty-two-he ought to remain with
his wife and children, the coming fam
lily reunion greatly influencing their
decision. Alas, the family circle is
broken forever.

THREE THOUSAND MEN IN ARMS
Perfdy and Piracy--How WOrkingmen are

From the CHICAGO Advocate. ]

From the Chicago Advocate.
Such is the significant intelligence
contained in the telegraphic dispatches
received from Kansas since our last
issue, and as the partisan press, with
out exception, have studiously re-
Trained from honestly stating the facts
of the case, we propose to enlighten
our readers as to the causes which
have produced this deplorabIe state OF
affairs.
The Territory under dispute consists
of 5000 acres of the choicest farming
portion in the State of Kansas, known
as the Cherokee Neutral Lands" !"
This Territory was originally eeded
by the government to the Cherokee
Indians, with the stipulation that, if
the terms by which it was granted
were violated it should revert to the
government, and become part of the
public domain Subsequent events
proved the wisdom of this provision; I;
the lands were virtually abandoned,
and the jurisdiction of the govern
ment was consequently asserted. Our
civil war having happily terminated,
inducements were held out to settlers
to locate ON these lands; President
Johnson, Senators Pomeroy and Ross,
being especially conspicuous in their
efforts and guarantees for the future.
Under these circumstances, three
thousand settlers, most of whom had
been in the Union army, believing in
the honesty of their professions,
selected this locality, and invested
their little hard-earned all in the inn
provement of their prairie home
steadS. After they had remained in
undisputed possession for two years
and halt, by the manipulation OF
Harlan and Pomeroy-the former,
Secretary of the Interior-a so-called
treaty was formed, and the lands
sold ~ to the New England Emil
grant Aid Society, an institution in
which these gentlemen had, doubtless,
a pecuniary interest. This fact, COM
| ing TO the knowledge of the settlers
and President johnson, under the adj
vice Of Attorney General Stanberry,
the sale was declared null and void.
Harlan having, in the meantime,
resigned his portfolio, for the purpose
of securing his reelection as Senator,
determined to secure the booty, and,
with the aid of Pomeroy & Co., man
aged to get through the Senate an
amended treaty, transferring the
lands in question to James f. JOY, OF
Detroit, for the sum of $800, 200 who is
simply the figure-head of the original
movement. a

SpArN.-Gen. Prim, who is dileo-
ting affairs in Spain, is n a quandary
as to what shall be done. He doubts
the public ability to support repub-
lican form of government on account
of the ignorance of the masses. He
says but one in ten can read, and that
the people are filled with supersti-
tious beliefs. The army of priests,
monks and friars appear only intent
on subsisting upon the people, and
are doing nothing to reform their idle
and vicious habits. Priests and peo-
pie are devoted to lotteries and gam
ing more than to affairs of governs
ment. He thinks that by at once
instituting free schools and by giving
the franchise only to such as can
read democratic form Of govern
ment may be supported in a few
years.

plains, where the entire surface is
