Victoria G. woodruff is out in reply
to Greeley's card, explaining why she
has two husbands. She closes thus (: |
ssThat Ishould have dared TO be the |
protector and friend of discarded, but |
unfortunate husband, has not been con-
DENIED, in the judgment of christian |
women and others of this enlightened
community with the exception ofsome
thoughtless badinage and mere slang, |
Mr.. GreeIey's is almost the only voice
that has been raised adversely"
A morning paper has the following
relative to the Corean troubles: The
story of the fight is very simple. On
the 10th of June, six hundred men Ian
ded on the Island of Kionghia and with
very little opposition captured the ma
rine redoubt. They then sacamped for
the night. Next m orning they slowly
made their way through the swamp,
painfully dragging a heavy howitzer
through mud foot deep, until they
reached it, and without resistance, took
Fort MOnocacy. This land was broken
mp into little hills, and it was only with
extreme difficulty that the guns were
drawn over the ground. At last, Elbon,
or as it is now christened Mckee; in
honor of the memory of Lieutenant
Mckee. the fort was gained. The Cor
cans made q desperate resistance, and
displayed cool courage, which is one of
the few noble traits of the orientals,
when driven to bay but their weapons
were almost harmless, and with rush
and cheer the avengers of our murder
ed countrymen scrambled over the
works, and the almond-eyed barbarians
either fed or surrendered. Our deaths
were in this brief but brilliant engage
ment comparatively small, and we have
the satisfaction of knowing that our
men showed the spirit and pluck of
American blood. But it LOOKS now as
if England and Prussia will have to
take hand in this matter. Two En-
glishmen and one German were seized
and carried off by the Coreans into the
country. One thing is certain, that if
England does not find out what has be-
come of her subjects, Germany will ;
and that after all, perhaps some other
nation will finish what America has
commenced.

mitted at Harrisonville, Cass.county, in
that state, on Saturd ay last. Tom Sa-
bine, noted character and an old BUSH
whacker, who lived a short distance
from Harrisonville, went into town, got
Grassy drunk and set law and order at
defiance. He first fired a revolver at
man working in new building, but
without effect. He then went into a
lawyers Office, shot at an old man
named Button, also without effect.
Subsequently he traversed the awnings
in front of the whole block of stores,
brandishing his pistol. He passed
through the second story window into
the mayors Office, and descended to the
street, where he found posse of citi-
zens called by the city marshal to assist
in arresting him. He fired into the
crowd, MORALLY wounding farmer
named Haines. Two or three shots
were fired at Sabine without effect.
The desperate then walked to Hues-
toms drug store, where he shot Mr..
Button, the gentleman he fired at in the
lawyers Office, hitting him directly
above the eye, the ball entering the
brain. lie lived but haitian hour. Two
or three more shots were then fired at
Sabine, without hitting him; but as he
turned around to see who had fired,
one of the marshars posse stepped into
the street and fired a charge of bird shot
into his face. Sabine attempted to re-
turn the fire, but before he could aim
his revolver, load of buckshot from
the same gun was fired into his body,
and the murderer fell and died in about
twenty minutes. Sabine's conduct Gre
ated intense excitement throughout the
town, but when it was known the ruff
fan was dead, all were relieved and
gratified.
