From the New York Republic.l-
Fraught as the last sixteen years have
been with grand events, which have
changed the destinies of nations, news to
thrill so many hearts has, perhaps, never
flashed through the wires as the brief
message that Mana Sahib has at last
been captured.
Like thunder in clear sky, the Indian
mutiny of 1857 shocked while it astound-
ed the civilized world. The Well at
Cawnpore has become shrine. The
demon hero ofthat awful deed was Mana
Sahib. Hunted like a wolf in the field,
his followers slain, his every effort at
resistance cast to the winds by the fierce
and sleepless wrath of the avengers, the
baffled Prince has been fugitive all
these weary years Not for second has
the search relaxed Every mans hand
has been armed against him. Immense
rewards have been offered, and he has
been tracked and pursued all over
Asia. Rumors brought ever and anon
by flying CoSSids would place him at
Herat or Ysrkand, Aleppo or Bokhara.
There, on the spur, hurried bands Of the
old allies of Great Britain in quelling
the outburst eager to bring him back,
dead or alive. He has been captured doz
en- times, according TO rumor, but the
prisoners have proved to be either other
mutineers (who were, OF course, duly ex.
ecuted) or perfectly innocent persons.
This time, however, there seems to be
no doubt about the matter. Arrested in
Gwalior, his native place, and of which
he claimed the sovereignty, he has been
recognized by his cousin, the Maharajah
ScindiaE, perhaps the most powerful and
certainly the wealthiest of oil the native
moDarchs of Hindoostan.
1t was from brooding over the alleged
injustice of the East India Company
that Mana Sahib, or rather Mana Rao,
his proper name, lashed himself to the
pitch OF ruthless fury which eliminated
in his dreadful massacres at Bithoor and
Cawnpore. He was Mahratta Brahmin
and according 10 the peculiar Hindoo
law of inheritance, the adopted son of
the Peishwa excluded nearer relations.
When he died the British Government
refused to recognize NanO Rao, and
placed Scindiah on the musnod. The
disappointed Prince, cultivated
man, braved the displeasure of his
friends, the very tenets of his religion,
crossed the forbidden Kals PAM, or
BLACK Waters" and for years pervaded
the precincts of the English Court. He
was unsuccessful. He returned to In
dia, and to purge himself of his sins
against the ceremonial law passed
through a gigantic golden cow which
was afterward melted up and divided
among 5000 Brahmins. He became
quite society man with the English
officers, and was remarkably gallant to
the ladies. Arab horses and cashmere
shawls were frequent tributes from this
unusually affable Hindoo. Milder than
his proverbially mild race, his ferocity
when it did break out, was as that of
tiger of his country's jungles. He
brought mourning to the whole nation,
with whom the world sympathized.
That be has been caught is crowning
satisfaction.

A Buenos Ayres paper says:
IAN important discovery has just been

residents in San lsidro have frequently
disappeared without anything being sub.
seauently heard of them. A train from
the North recently left case at the San
Isidro station, and the person to whom
it was consigned Immediately applied
for it, and left for farm in the neigh
borhood on which there is solitary
house. Rumors of revolution which had
been current led the justice of the peace
to be on the qui vive, and happening to
notice the case, he imagined it might
contain some arms for the use of the
suspected rebels. de therefore ordered

small room was then examined and

found in the first, but in the cellar a
large number of stilettoes, daggers,
knives, pistols and other murderous
weapons we're found. On many of these
instruments the same inscription, So

not be out of place to remember that the

The English race horse Apology, the
winner of this year St. Leger, is owned
by the Rev. j. W. King, vicar of Ashby
de la Launde, and also holder of the
benefce of Bassingham, both in the
Bishop of Lincoln's diocese This
gentleman, who figures in the racing
world as Mr.. Launde, is an old man,
having taken his degree as far back as
1914. The Bishop of Lincoln has re.
monstrated with him On several occa-
sions for his connection with the turf,
but his remonstrances have had no effect
upon the reverend but sportive gentle
man, further than to induce him to refer
the Bishop to his solicitor. His victory
at Doncaster, however, has brought out
another letter from the Bishop, who
says: With much sorrow | perceive
that you have shown no signs ofremorse
for your offence in bringing discredit on
your sacred profession and in inflicting
injury on the church of which you are a
minister, and in causing scandal to her
members, by training race horses for the
turf, instead of devoting yourself en-
tirely to the work to which you pledged

appeal to your own conscience without
resorting to legal proceedings, and |
entreat you once more, solemnly and
affectionately, in the name of the blessed
Lord, either to resign your pastoral
cures or else to relinquish course which
seems to me to be altogether at variance
with the sacred obligations by which yod
are bound as clergyman OF the Church
of England. "

From the Austin statesman.l

From the Austin Stotesman,I
Hon. John III. Cochran, of Dallas,
has been done injustice in our report
of those who debated the constitutional
convention question In the house
on the night of the 18th. In
this report his Lame was mentioned
among those who spoke in favor of the
proposed commission to frame COLI
stitution. Instead of this he made a
speech in opposition to this plan, and
unqualifidedly in favor of cOnstitu-
tional conversion. He boldly claims
