INDIAN WIVES.
case Involving a Large Fortune.

Some months ago Mrs. Troost, of
Kansas City, died, leaving a great
deal of property to be devoted to
public uses. Among other bequests,
there were made in her will provis-
ions for the erection of a grand opera
house, church and seminary, and a
park, aud for other purposes.
The following, from the Kansas
City journal Of Commerce, snmma-
rizes the legal questions that will
hare to be settled by the Supreme
Court, which will determine the
rights of heirs who may be the issue
of virtual marriages not recognized
by tie law:
The case in which ths Iudian chill
dren OF tue late Wm. Gilliss have
asked that his will be set aside in
their favor, was decided ut Warrens-
burg, on Saturday last, in the Cir
cult Court of that county, before
Judge McGaughey, before whom it
was taken from this county on q
change of venue.
Mr.. Gilliss, one of the first settlers
of this city. at his death its most
wealthy citizen, died bachelor, as
supposed by everybody, and left his
property TO his niece. Mrs. Troost,
who, dying recently. left the estate
mainly to public uses, which fact
gives it widerinterestt to our citizens.
Mr. Giiliss, in the early part of his
life, in fact much of it, was an Indi-
an trader, and, ike many more such,
had what they called Indian wives,
whom they selected or welded, as
the case might be, according TO the
Indian custom, by whom he had In
dian children born to him.
These Indian children set up their
claims as the legal heirs of WIN. Gil
liss, and By them suit was brought
to set aside the will. The case was
tried before a jury.
The case turned upon the question
as 10 whether the Indian customs, in
such matters, constituted such mar
riage as the laws OF the ecountry could
take coenizance of, and enforce as
legal and binding in all respects.
In this respect the case becomes
one OF great interest to this portion
of the country, as Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska
and ell the Territories have parallel
cases without number It may be-
come the case on which the question
for all the Western country will turn.
The jury decided in favor of the
Indian heirs, and the will is thus set
aside. OF course it will be appealed,
and we will have the opinion of the
higher courts before the matter Is
finally determined.
Locally. it interests all our citi-
zens, as the erection of the new opera
house, the church, the seminary and
the park, have all to wait the slow
process of the law before they can,
If ever, be realized The decision al
80 affects the condition of very valu-
able property which has come into
the possession OF the estate since the
death of Mr.. Gilliss.

SINGULAR SUICIDE AT SEA.
A Sailor Lives Salt and Water for -
Days and Then Commits Suicide.

The ship Colonist, Captain Walsh,
from Liverpool September I'd, load
ed with salt, arrived in port yester-
day morning. From the officers we
learn of a rather singular affair which
occurred on the voyage. Among the
seamen was man named John Wat
son, hailing from London, and who
contracted to make the trip. On the
9th of September he was put to work
on the deck. when he Suddenly dis
appeared. Diligent search was made
for Lin on the ship. but be could not
be found. The impression generally
gained ground that he had acciden-
tally fallen overheard and was
drowned.
On the 4th of October, twenty
eight days afterward, one of the
hands had occasion to go into the
hold and was completely dumb
founded at discovering Watson lying
on the sacks of salt. He was alive,
but rather weak. There was moth
ing in the hold but salt and several
casks of water; and as he could not
udsc 5uINlsSu LIl3 LIO6
without eating something, the only
inference is that he subsisted on salt,
though this also appears almost i'm
probable. Proper food was given
him, and in a few days he was able
to resume work. On the 7th Of Oc<
tober he jumped from the side OF the
vessel whilst she was booming
through the sea. 4 life-preserver
was thrown to him but be deliberate
ly pushed it away. A boat was then
lowered and sone Of the crew start
ed to bis assistance; but before it
reached him he had sunk and was
seen no more. Watson is said to
have been an excellent seaman, was
about thirty years of age, and when
be first came to the ship appeared to-
he contented, iovial fellow. The
captain is at an utter loss to account
for his singular conduct and his per-
sistent suicide, for which there was
apparently no cause.

RETURNS j. niEIGS.

The origin of Christian, as we'll as
family names is sometimes singular,
and might afford a renumerative
study to one curiously inclined. In
illustration We give the origin of a
name well known in America history.
The father of Return j. Meigs was
born at Middletown, Conn. In his
youth he loved and addressed fair
Quaksress of Middletown, whose
name was very near to his own
residence, but found much difficulty
in obtaining her hand, her objec-
tion resulting from sectarian bias
She repeatedly answered his pro-
testations of fidelity and attachment
with
Nay, Jonathan; I respect thee
much, but cannot marry thee; for
better is dinner of herbs and con-
tentment, than u stalled OK and con-
tention Herewith"
Mr.. Meigs finally wearied with his
prohtless suit and paid Ruth what he
meant should be his last visit as a
lover. He held her hand, and
blessed her, and having told her that
he hoped in time the wound In his
heart might be heaeld in happy al
lance with some other family, he
spoke his farewell. The kind and
yet sorrowful words spoke with ten
der softness, and with fearful eyes,
fell upon her heart with awakening
power. As he vaulted to his saddle to
ride away, the fair Quakeress, full
of love and relenting, beckoned to
him with her hand, and at the same
time called out
Return, Jonathan! Return, Jona-
than!'
TO him they were the sweetest
words that ever fell upon mortal ear.
He returned, and the day was speed
ly fixed for the celebration of their
nuptials. The first child born to
them was son, and the happy faith
er, in commemoration of the blessful
words which had hidden him into his
earthly heaven, had him baptized
and christened Return Jonathan. "
And the child thus curlously named
grew up to an important manhood.
Among the officers of the American
revolution he was one of the best
and the bravest. For his brilliant ex-
ploits against the British at Sag Har-
Dor he received the thands of
Congress and a sword He was a
warm friend and supporter of Presi-
dent Jefferson, by whom he was ap-
pointed Indian Agent of the Chero
KEGS. among which people he past

would have charmed an anchorite,
endeavored to press it upon him.
"No!" said the herioc youth, res

was that! A poor, friendless youth,

The Emperor Vespasian. after his

The Coliseum derives its name from
It's colossal dimensions, being about
100 English feet in circumference.
The form is oval. II was built OF i'm

There were rails OF gold before the

A LADY VISITS HEAvEN.-On the
7th ult., Mrs. Gardner, wife of far
mer, living near Eastmanville, Ottowa
county, Michigan, died under circum-
stances the most extraordinary. Two
of her sisters were dead, one recently
only few weeks ago. The case Of
Mrs. Gardner's death was congestiye
chill. After she had been dead some
six hours and was being prepared for
the grave, she returned to conscious
ness and talked freely with her at
tendants. She stated TO those around
her that she had been to the better
land and had seen both of her depart
ed sisters and other friends, that it
was a most beautiful land-beyond
all description. She said that she had
permission to return to tell her living
friends of what she had seen, but she
was anxious to again return. She
passed away soon after making her
statement seemingly overfiowing
with joy and happiness. There can
be no question as TO the circumstances
above related.

A lady correspondent writes US as fol-
lows, and to the views expressed we can
but add our unqualified Endorsement:
Certain parties, it seems, for reasons
best known to themselves, are making
efforts to create the impression that the
lady candidates for the office of School
Visitors are disqualified by law for such
business. If such disqualification really
existed, it would be a shame to the civil
ization of the age, but we are informed
by some Of the best lawyers in the city
such is not the case. On the contrary
the charter expressly says School Visi-
tors are to be made of two individuals
from each ward. The sex of the two in
dividuals is nowhere mentined in the
charter. The lawyers are rather in
clined TO the opinion that women are in
dividuals, and, if elected, have no doubt
but they will hold the position"
