Scandinavia that man was lying on the prairie
few miles north of that place, when number
of the citizens Immediately went to the spot in
dicated, aud found the body of man by the
nam. of Leland who lived few miles south of

much as possible TO protect himself from the

Several citizens of Scandinavia who had been
to White Rock saw the body on Friday morning,

A SERVANT GIRL AT ELLSWORTH MURDERS
HER INFANT CHILD.-The most revolving of all
violations of the sixth commandment is that in
which the mother becomes the murderer of her
own new born offspring. But the sense of shame
and ruin that comes to the mind of the bstray yed
girl is often the incentive to diabolical a sin,
and hence the repetition of deeds of this dark
description is 30 frequent.
From Ellsworth is reported terrible case of
infanticide which transPIred at tho Drovers'
Cottage a few days ago. One of the waitet girls
in the house was delivered of twelve pound
child in an. clubhouse. After destroying and
concealing the child, she went to the house and
acted as though nothing unusual had occurred.
Ou Thursday of last week, Mr.. John Bulter, of
Colony, went ont to shoot quails, and by some
accident, which is unexplained, he shot himself
through the heart, and died within twelve hours
thereafter.
Had be lived month or two with that bullet
hole through his heart there is no telling how
the poor fellow might have suffered!
We learn from the Emporia &eps that on
Saturday, the 9th, ]. w. Stevenson went hunting,

THE .DEPARTED GLORY" OF METHoDlsM.-
The new aud elegant church just completed, of
which Rev. Emory Haynes is pastor, was yes
tertlay formally dedicated for divine worship.
1t occupies the site of the old editice on the cor
ner of Hanson place and st. Felix street, and Is
said to have a larger seating capacity than DIR.
Cuyler's or DIR. Buddingtons churches, by ae-
tual count. The founders of MethOdism would
doubtless look with unfrigned surprise upon the
stained-g glass windows, the electric apparatus
for lighiiIg the building, the softly carpeted
aisles an.l elegantly cusho ned pews of the new
sanctuary. Three services were held yesterday,
the first of which, in the morning. was the dcdi-
catinn,
At the close Of the sermon, Sl5.0O0 were asked
for, and the result was u subscription not far
from the amount called for. John French, sur

sented the new building to the conference, Blsh
op James receiving and accepting the same. A
solid gold brick. worth five hundred dollars,
among the offerings, as also roll of bills,
containing some $40 from old sailor.
The afternoon services consisted of addresses
by Drs. Buddington, Cuyler, J. Hyatt Smith,
Talmage, Dnryra. Matthew Hale Smith aud
Fulton, and hearty congregational singing.
At the close of DIR. Tamage's address, a man
arose in the gallery, and in loud vnice said ::
"You wish to know why the glory of Methodism
is departed, it is wonder to M. II Is bccaTs:
you hare turned your churches into theatres and
your priests into clowns" In the storm of his
Ses which followed, the man escorted to the
front door by an able bodied usher, and a,lmon-

REBORN LEGISLATURES.
A Defense Of the Legislature of 1864,
LAWRENCE. Feb. l6. 1874.


Tn the Editor of the Commonwealth,
have Just been shown sn iteIi from the Atch-
leo, CkaIpion ON the reform legislature of 1864.
n i. trne It elected Thomas Carney Senator. 1t
was an effort to accomplish gOod-the defeat
of the "Kansas rDgs Of Poneroys, Lanes, Della
bsvs etc. that was then trimming the State. 1t
failed. and the next Legislature elected Lane
and endorsed Delahay
The legislature Of 1864 not only took no news
n,p-rs af the expense of the State, got 40 post
aor stamps, paid for no chaplain, aud refused to
nav for hid gloves and table linen for the State
officers; but they protested against the contr-
nation of Delahay rs District Judge OF Kansas,
n,kel the removal of Sid. Clarke as provost mar
shall and urged that Kansas DC treated as Il
State. -.
I stand corrected. 1t was in 1867, and not in
1854, when railroad passes first made their ap.
pearance. Mr. Devereaux, land commissioner OF
the Kansas Pacific road, sent TO each member
pass Col S. N. Wood, as soon as he found ont
the source from whence his pass came, returned
il, and going to Leaveaworth during the session,
paid his own fare.
Now, if the legislature of 1854 did elect Car,
ney Senator, the one of 1865 annulled it and
elected Laue, and that of 1867 elected Pomeroy
and Ross. HISTORY

ago dispatch went over the wires that Post
master Lowe, of LaCygnc, had beeu shot and
robbed ON his way home, and that the mUuey he
was robbed of belonged to the Pnst-office Depart
ment. Though his father was member of Cnm-
gTess, it did not shield him from suspicion. We
understand the United States Deputy Marshal in
that locality telcgraplIed to the main office IN
substance, that Lowe, the Fnstmaster. had
robbed himself and defaulter, and asked
for instructions about his arrest, but before any
thing was done, the vigiant Crnwel "smclt a

found the young man defaultcr for sonnet hing

was rubbed, and his bondsmcn have ar will make

office holders accused of robbing the govern
ment and robbing everybody else, hut this is
among the few instances where there ever
suspicion that one of Uncle Sans trusted ones
shonll undertake to rob himself. We know
nothing of the truth about these rumnrs, still
