Murder is at best considered most foul,
and flain To xuhia mo a.<, al,e.l 4.

"a 4 q ! - 1 TF-I----
Murder is at best considered most foul.
and this to which we are about to refer
is at onoa most foul, strange and
unnatuyal. Usually, when deeds of
blood are committed, there is some mad
passion or deep prompting purpose,
wbioh, for the time at least, silences the
still small voice of reason and con-
science, and mako the man who sees
red fiend incarnate. Recently the
Adjutant- Generals Office at Washington
promulgated the tacts and findings by
court-martial in case which is perhaps
without parallel in military annsls. A
certain Lieutenant james Collins, first
cavalry, stationed at Camp McDermit,
Nevada, thought proper one day to ex-
ercise his command at target shooting.
The trumpeter, Keesey. went to fix the
target. and when he was standing i'm
medmtely behind it, the lieutenant
ordered Sergeant johnson to fire. The
sergeant and others thereupon informed
tho lieutenant that the trumpeter stood
just behind the target. aud that his life
was in danger. Collins criod silence,
and repeated the order for the sergeant
to fire. adding, "He"-meaning Keesey
will get out OF the way soon enough
when you fire. !" Immediately after that
Collins ordered Corporal Crowley to FIRE
i'll his turn, although Keesey was still
seen in front of the target by tho officer
and the whole party. Corporal Crowley
did fire aud shot Keesey. who died
| shortly after of the wound inflicted.
The court found Lieutenant Collins
guilty Of conduct to the prejudice Of
good order and military discipline" and
sentenced him to be dismissed from the
service" Now. whatever military men
may think of tho punishment indicted,
civilians will regard it as wholly dispro-
portionate to the offence committed. It
appears from the record that oven nfter
the trumpeter fell, fatally wounded, ,
Lieutenant Collins did. by his orders,
continue the target practice by firing,
although newell knew that Keesey was
lying wounded III front Of the target,
aud that other members of tho troop,
who had gone to his assistance, we're
also in front Of the target
An Indian brave might consider the
action OF the lieutenant prompted l,y a
sublime Indifference to human life, and
might reverence him for the net, but no
civilized Christian, Jew or Mahommedan n
eau regard it MS less than murder, or
wish to shield the offender from the
punishment which such an act deserves.

IERRDLE DEATH OF A FATHER AND

Chicago has recently witnessed dou-
bic suicide, OF a character particularly
painful and shocking. Its details have

most conspicuous. wealthy and trusted

OF Edncation-a man Of much power and
considerable culture, but, like some other
doctors, he had fallen victim to the cup.
His practice did not peroeptibly diminish
on that account, for there is d prevalent
superstition that great success in medi-
cine is incompatible with temperate
principles and habits. The doctors

endurance was exhausted, and he sunk
down upon tho street and was taken
home with the deliriun hen,ens. He
fingered two days, suffering oil the tor
ments of perdition, and died horrible
death, his son being dragged in from
the streets long enough to take drunken
leer at tho coffin. Last week, the son g
better constitution gave way, and he,
too, was takon home, crazed with whis-
key. He fingered longer, but the liquid
fire burned its way to his vitals, and, utter
raving through the terrible nights. and
crying for more, he finally died in the
midst Of imaginary reptiles, and his
body was laid by the side of the fresh
mound OF his father. This double sui
eide, su rapid and terrible, by two pro
minent and respectable men. has created
a profound sensation in all circles where
the facts are known.

ANOTHER GRACE DARLING The Lon
don despntches record case of womanly
heroism which will probably give its
possessor IN enviable immortality of
fame. like TINT of Grace Darling. It
appears that n vessel was wrecked off
Drogheda bar, in plain sight of the pro
fessional life boatmen, who, neverthe :
less, refused to go to her assistance until
the gale should abate. Already had six
men been swept off the wreck by the
waves and drowned, when lady put off
from shore in a small boat, aud at the
risk Of her own life, saved that of one
man still clinging to the wreck. So runs
the telegrnphic story; and our ndmira-
tion for this feminine heroism is only
heightened by its vivid contrast with
what for the present appears selfishness,
if not poltroonery, on the part OF the
men. Let 1s hope. for the sake of the
fe-boat service, that the fuller explana-
tion Of the affair by mail will relieve the
official boatmen from the blame which
now seems to attach to them, since it
cannot diminish, in any event, the lustre
Of the achievement Of this brave woman.

chief. Search was made for the body
