IN MEMORIAM.

can well understand how his stricken pa
rents-Yhose hearts had wrapped, like the
tendrils Of vine, about the person OF this
little fellow-were bruised and broken when
insatiate death snatched him from their
loving embrace; for he was a beauti :
ful boy, with laughing eyes and DIM
pied cheeks, full of health and life,
and ways of witchery - one of those
creatures that gladden. room like sunshine.
Well do 1 remember the time when for
months sat Just across the table from him,
and was, for d9y after day, delighted listen
er to his charming prattle, that run the full
gamut OF childish thought without stop or
stint. AS the little fellow capered along in his
innocent glee, his face would brighten and
his body would yield like slender reed to the
play of his words until at last the contagion of
his sweet frolics would spread and he would
be caught up by some member OF the family,
or bv the writer Of these lines, and borne at
aTm's-length triumphantly around the house.
As locked upon him when he lay in his
burial-case, with rosebud nesting between
his delicate fingers, memories OF that time
came afresh TO me. Though the severe battle
that nature and disease had fought over
him left its trace of pain upon the face, still
death had not been altogether untender; for
1t had set its seal so gently on form and fea-
ture, that we could almost fancy he slept. SO
gently passed away his spirit that the sweet
liest flush Of the immortal. That Willie had
passed the portals OF the immortal his chris
tian parents needed DO assurance of; and yet,
as the rain fell on Sabbath morning, chant
ing natures funeral anthem around his pail,
how sweetly with IL blended the words OF glo-
riOus promise and inspiring faith OF the beau
tiful burial-serviee, as they came from the
lips of the kind and sympathetic minister.
need not say that 1t Is no false hope that these
words gave 1t is true that Willie's I ody but
sleeps beneath the trees of ElmWood his spirit
is even now aglow with the light of the super

Tenders, Etc.
WAsHNGroN. February 3

WASHINGTON, February 23.-The ap-
preparation committee will propose an
amendment to the postal law, so as to provide
that after June 80, 1874, conveyance in mails
OF samples OF merchandise packages of cloth
ing, seeds, cutlery, roots, coins, samples Of
metals, ores, and meteorological specimens,
and bound books, shall cease, and all laws au-
thOriZing such conveyance shall be repealed.
A portion of the committee, II not jority,
favor the abolition Of the postal-car and free
delivery systems, the latter on the ground
that large sums are spent for the benefit OF
residents of q few cities, while the people at
large are taxed TO pay for it. 1t is estimated
that such changes would nearly cover the
amount specified for deficiencies the ensuing
year.
II was stated at the congressional temper
ance meeting yesterday that Saturday next
crusade similar to that now in progress in
other cities, would be commenced here
against liquor selling establishments.
Several members of the house committee on
the judiciary says the Geneva award distrib-
uting committee will not probably be ready
TO report for week to come, and that thus far
no formal votes have been taken on any OF
the propositions before them. General Butler
says, in his opinion bill similar to that re-
ported by him last congress will be agreed on
by the committee.
Strong efforts are being made TO have the
secretary OF the treasury reconsider his de-
cisiOn that pilots and engineers OF steamboats,
employed upon the great lakes, must be ctu-
Zens Of the United States. The plea is, that
there is not suficiency OF those officers in
the United States 10 answer the requirements
OF the business interests in that section. 1t is
not probable any change will be made in the

on Indian affairs, to whom the subject was

From the New York Tribune.l
ALBANY, February 19.-The commits
sioners to award the prize for the best appli-
again to-day, and somewhat modified their
action OF yesterday. Their final report, as
drawn up by Mr.. Geddes for
cites briefly what they have done
since their appointment, states what was ac-
trip in October last, and then goes on to say
that owing to the ambiguity and extreme
stripgency of the law creating the commission
q majority Of It's members could not agree to
make the award asked tor by the successful
competitors, and that the object OF the law
would be better obtained by leaving the queS-
ton Of compensation to the legislature. While
they are ready to admit that Mr.. Baxter's boat
surpassed all competition on the trial trip,
they also think that Mr.. Dobbin g boat pos
sessed great merits, and then end their report
by submitting to the legislature an act, whose
passage they recommend, directing the comp
troller to pay to Mr.. Baxter thirty-dve
thousand dollars on the presentation by
him of a certificate from the State en-
gineer that he has put upon the Erie canal
boat used on the trial trip; and that the
comptroller also pay to Mr.. pobbin fifteen
thousand dollars on his presenting q similar
certificate that he has put three of his boats
upon the canal. The report was unanimously
adopted and the commission adjourned, SUBJ
ject to the call OF the chairman.
II they had made the award of fifty thou
sand dollars, as contemplated by the act, the
commission would continue in existence an
other year in order to decide upon the second
award OF fifty thousand dollars; but having
failed to make any award at all, the commits
sion appears, from the terms of the law ere
ating 1t, to terminate Its existence with the
report adopted to-day.

Confession of ncEuta, the Kansas mur-
dereF.

ST. LOUIS, February 23.-The Demo-
crafts Kansas City special says that MeNutt,
who, with Winner, murdered and burned
painter named SAVERS, at Wichita, kans9s,
last December, has confessed the crime. He
says that Winner persuaded him, long ago, in
and planned the whole affair. McNuttw was to
have his life insured for five thousand dollars,
and then kill and burn some victim, and palm
Off the body as his so the money could be coll
iected. For this purpose McNutt married q
woman with whom he was then living, and
she was to collect the Insurance money. AT
first they intended TO commit the crime in
Kansas City, lbut finally concluded to go TO
Wichita, thinking to escape the easier there.
Being painters, they started In business, and
soon built uD 1ne trade. They were de-
layed, however, from carrying out their plan,
for the want of a victim. But Winner st last
came to Kansas City, and engaged SEWERS TO
met him at the depot on his arrival at Wichi-
ia, and took him to the shop, nobody knowing
anything about it, made him drunk, and
then gave him ether until unconscious.
They then put his face over a fire, and burned
1t until it could not be recognized, and laid
him on bed saturated with coal
OIL McNutt then cut cash in
ing vein in Sewers arm, took out
quart OF blood and sprinkled 1t over Wenner
TO make 1t appear he had bled great deal.
McNutt then left his vest and
empty pocket-book back OF the house,
where 1t would appear that robbers
had dropped it, and took the train, via Atchi-
son, for Missouri. Winner then set fire to the
ported that he had been robbed, and that Nc
Mutt had been killed and burned. The crime,
as detailed, is most revolving, cruel, and per-
fectly iendish in nature.
