ever an accused person is acquitted
upon the plea Of temporary insanity,
the Court shall commit him TO the lu-
matte asylum for the same number of
years that he would have been con-
fined in the States Prison had he been
convicted. In cases Of murder, this
would be for life. This will, ii it be-
comes the law, put an end to that kind
Of insanity which lasts only long

The ADVANTAGE OF WEST PoINr.--Charles
d. Warner of the Hartford Courant so favor
ably known to the literary world, has been Wis
iting West Point during the late graduating
exercises; and has given an account in that
paper which closes as follows:
We are not attempting anything like de-
scrpt;on of West Point or the graduating
week. 1t is a rarely pleasant place to idle
awsy few days, If one does not want to go to
war, and the civilian may learn great deal
that will profit him. He will probably learn to
believe in West Point, and its education, as a
good thing for the country. Ii is almost the
only place " here such thing as discipline ex-
lists. And discipline and respect for authority
are great and much needed things in our day.
The cadets are fine fellows-clean morally and
observation-disclosures OF the world, and inno-
cent of most of its vices. They are taught to
study, to keep hours and times, to respect
authority, to be patriotic, to ride well, and to
speak the truth They are taught manners"
and what we mean by this will be evident to
any one who contrasts the civility, courtesy,
and good bearing of the West Point boys with
the manners of boys at other colleges. The
boys at West Point are as well bred almost as
the Chinese and japanese boys who come to
us for an education.
1t is sometimes said that West Point is an
aristocratic institution. 1t is democratic in
one thipg-the child of the humbest is treated
. mere as we'll as the child Of fortune-all have
s sue same AZ discipline, the same chance. But

EXPLANATION OF THE OREGON srSArop

EXPLANATION OF THE OREGON SENATOR
Senator Mitchell of Oregon, who affords the
first instance of Senator of the United States
under false name, has written a letter to the
people OF Oregon, in which he says:
owing solely to domestic troubles, seeking at
.naI time oniy obscurity, and hoping that l
.nlSnS We forever separated from some OF tne
memories of the past, but having committed no
wrong act to be concealed, neither contempiat-
ing the commission of any, l, in my then per-
turbed state of mind, decided to be known ana
called thereafter by my mothers maiden name,
Mitchell. which was my middle name by bap-
tism This frankly concede was an inds-
Greet. ill-adyised and injudicious act great
blunder. a foolish mistake. l offer for it no ex-
cuse save my inexperence in the world, and
great desire to separate myself, as far as posi-
BILE, from past that was, and is, inexpressibly
painful. 1t was a violation of the convention
alities of life for which would gladly atone by
a lfes labor. 1t is not, however, in contraven-
ton of any public law. The act at once be-
came irretrievable. leave it to others to judge
whether thus yielding to the msdirection of a
perturbed mind, in days of detection and sor.
row, is a sin that years OF honorable effort in
the walks of daily life cannot atone.
A NEBRASKA FREsHET.-Capt. Alex Moore,
Sd U. s. Cavalry, makes a special report to
Gen. Ord, commanding the Department of the
Platte, concerning terrible freshet on the
night of the 31st ult., which overwhe' med mis-
camp in the Blackwood Valley and drowned
six men and twenty-six horses. Capt. Moore
was on scout from Fort Mcpherson, Nebraska,
with one guide. one wagon master, five team
sters and fifty-6ve enlisted men. He says:
''The Valley of Blackwood is about forty five
miles long, aud about one mile to one and a
half wide. This entire stretch of country was
one raging torrent, at least from six to seven
feet deep; and how any man or horse escaped
is marvellous. The only thing, indeed, that
prevented total destruction was the fact that
my camp was surrounded by belt of timber
on three sides, and as the men were carried off
by the current, they were enabled to save
themselves by catching the limbs of trees"
The UNION PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The Union
Pacific Railroad, by its attorneys, is making
vigorous efforts to secure the revocation of the
order of the Interior Department, which with
holds from that read One-half its land grant I'M
til it shall have fulfilled its obligations to the
government. 1t is stated that the failure of the
company to obtain patents is serious hind
rance to the settlement of the country. The
government considers that it has ample securi-
ty in the event of the failure of the Credit Mo.
biler suit.

The most brutal of murders continue to
be as frequent as ever in New York despite
the more frequent and certain use of the gal
lows. 1t may be assumed that the list will
not be curtaied while there is no limit 10 the
rum traffic. Where brutal men have their
passions reused to such an extent by poison
incoxicants that they are raving maniacs, the
certainty of the gallows has no effect to so
Der them. Three of the most brutal of MUIR
oers that took place in New York Sunday
night'were committed by men maddened by
whiskey. This fact is mentioned with the
nope that at some future time, public opinion
w.l oe aroused to the enormity of the crime
OF orunkard and murderer making; for until
society recognizes it in its real character, law
will have little effect to prevent it.

A Walking Miracle.

Mr.. H. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir,-Though stranger want to inform YOU
what VEGETINE has done for me-
Last Christmas, Scrofula made its appearance in
my system-large running ulcers appearing on me as
follows: One on each of my arms, one on my thigh,
which extended to the scat, one ON my head, which
eat into the skull bone my left leg which be-
came so bad that two physicians came to amputate
the limb, though upon consultation concluded not to
do So as my whole body full of Scrofula they
deemed 1t advisable to cut the sore, which was pain
ful beyond description, and there quart mat
ter run from this one The physicians all gave
me up to die and said they could do no more for me-
Both of my legs were drawn up to my seat and it
was thought If did get up again would be Grip
pie for life.
When in this condition saw vEGErINE advertise
ed .and commenced taking it in March, and followed
with it, uu had nsed 16 bottles and this morn
ing am going to plough corn, a well man. AL my
townsmen say it Is miracle to see me round walking
an | working.
In conclusion will add, when was enduring such
great suffering, from that dreadful disease ScrJfula
prayed to the Lord above to take me out of this
word but as VEGETINE has restored to me the bles-
sings of health, desire than to live that
1 may be of some service to my fellow man and l
know of no better way to aid suffering humanity,
than to enclose you this statement of my case with
earnest hope that you will publish it, and 1t will
afford me pleasure to reply to any communication
which may receive therefrom.
am, Sir, very respectfully.
