Amende Honorable.

In noticing the graduates of the
College last week, by some unaccount-
able oversight, and certainly without
the least intention to slight anybody,
we omitted all mention of the gradu-
ates in Music. For this provoking
forgetfulness we beg pardon of the
young ladies and all concerned.
-Four young ladies received diplo-
mas in that department, and are
thereby entitled to the honorary de-
gree of an. M."-"Mistress of Mu-
sic." Their names are as follows:
Miss Maggie Dill, Bainbridge.
Miss Hattie Heidelberg, Miss Ber-
tha Reckley, and Miss Isabel Board

It is but justice to add, that all
these young ladies have fairly won
their diplomas by their proficiency in
the "divine art" which reflects great
credit upon the skill and faithful in.

teacher, Prof. Geo. Heidelberg.

HILLsBoRo FEMALE CoLLEGE.-The
annual Commencement exercises of
Hillsboro, Ohio, Female College, one
of the most distinguished of Western
female colleges, took place on We'd
nesday last, and were unusually inte-
resting from the fact that they were
attended by former graduates who
assembled to enjoy the reunion of the
Alumni which occurs every five years.
There were ten graduates. The
Alumnal Reunion took place Friday.
Fifty-one ladies answered at roll
call, and letters were read from many
others in different parts of the world,
one from Miss Jennie Nelson, former
ly resident of Dayton, and who left
here several years ago as a missiona-
ry to the East Indies; one from Miss
Josie Cole, Principal of the Female
College at Salt Lake, one from Mrs.
Beavers of Iowa, and others from la
dies in Europe. Dayton was also
represented in the reunion. The ex-
ercises closed in the evening with a
brilliant party in the college building.
The occasion was one of rare enjoy
ment to the PARTICIPANTS Dayton

A DissOIufe Young Man Kills
his Mother.

lFrom the Lexington Press, 22d.l
The details of most schocking
murder come to us from Frankfort
The terrible deed was committed in
that city yesterday morning, the
murderer being John Fry Walcott,
and the victim his mother.
Young Walcott had been drinking
very hard of late. His mother, griev-
ing for her son, implored him to turn
away from the paths of vice. Her
opportunities were disagreeable to
him. On yesterday morning, while
in state of intoxication, he went
home, and becoming enraged at his
mother, seized hatchet and struck
her with it, inficting wound SO
serious that she died from the effects
of it in an hour afterward. The
sharp edge of the hatchet struck the
poor lady just behind the right ear,
cutting into the skull.
According to the Cincinnati style,
that suffering woman was guilty OF
her own murder. She had no laocfttl
right to plead with the young man.
to seek to reclaim him from the paths
of vice; it was disagreeable to him,
it interfered with his personal lib
erty."
But, great God! is it possible, in
view of such on awful tragedy as
this, the legitimate fruit of whisky
selling, that men can be found who
Will vote to make that selling legal?
To give the sanction of law to traf-
fic which thus, in its results, leads
the son to murder even his own
mother? To save one soul from
such a terrible woe, every good citi-
zen should be willing to Danish the &C
cursed thing from the whole land

PARTING SONG
Of the Glass of ~, Highland
Institute,

COMPOSED BY MISS CORA E. GORDON.
The parting words must now be said,
The fondest ties be broken,
And last sweet tendernesses plead,
So sad, though often spoken.
And when our ways shall drift apart,
Mid storm or sunny weather,
Wen cherish aye within our heart,
The days we've spent together.
CHORUS.
And though life be an humble tide,
Or though rushing river,
May we its wave unsullied guide
Into the great Forever
And may its current rippling flow
Past lilies, ferns, and MOSES,
And ne'er the rugged rock-rifts know,
OF hard and heavy crosses;
But pushing, murmur softly on,
Its cool sweet shades just rifted
By dancing, glancing, CLEANS of sun,
Through netted branches sifted.
CHORUS.
8.
But should its waters wildly dash
On rocky shores of sorrow;
Or from pains vivid lightning-fash
A livid pallor borrow;
Let us remember lcho can still
The billow's angry tosings,
And with HIS boundless love can fill
The toughest waves with blessings.
CHORUS.

The McNutt Trial.

The trial of j. w. McNutt, the ac-
complete of Arthur Winner, has been
in progress q week this morning. Two
special venircs, aggregating sixty men,
were exhausted before Il jury was OBJ
tanned, and several of the present jury
arc sitting under exceptions taken by
the counsel for the defense. Judge X.
NJ. Ruggles, of Emporia, is conducting
the defense, assisted by VIM. Stanley
and j. NJ Baldcrston ii. {. Sluss for
the state. The case has been conduct
ed with great care and ability by both
sides. The evidence is exactly the
same as published heretofore in this
paper, with the exception of two wit
messes. whose testimony was unimpo,-
tant, and a letter, said to have been
written by McNutt.
The case will be summed up in the
speeches ofcounscl, synopsis of which
we expect to publish in next weeks
EAGLE.
The case will be rested to-day, and
by Saturday ended, probably.
McNrtt seems considerably troubled,
and shows much anxiety as the case
progresses. His wife is his constant
companion in the court room, and her
eyes often wander TO his face filled with
a look of the utmost soiicitude. Mrs.
McNutt is medium sized woman,
young, fair blonde, and passably good
looking. She has 10 parents or friends
save the one who is now undergoing a
trial for his life.
McNutt tells US that he feels that the
newspapers have done him great inJus-
tice but there is one thing we are
sure of. aud that is that Judge Ruggles
is doing all that is possible to do TO
clear him of the charge under which
he rests.
After having published the testimo-
ny twice 1t would have proved stale
matter again, but the speeches of the
counsel and the result of the trial will
appear next week.

presume he has never been made a.

to the republicans of the district that

But we are not making candidate

the Arkansas valley may in the forth

good men as sound republicans as To-
peka or Empora can boast, even if they
are not SO well known.
Let the Arkansas valley delegation
go up TO Emporia solid and united. and
if we fail to get congressman from
our valley we will at least possess the
power TO dictate who our next COLI

The Red Skins.

From advices received by mail from
Dodge City and vicinity it appears that
the Indians are terribly in earnest, and
are determined TO clear the country Of
hunters and everybody else if possible.
The different tribes which have here
tofore been antagonistic have buried
all differences and come together for
general warfare. A gentleman en-
gagged in the transportation business at
Dodge writes as follows TO friend in
Lcavenwofth:
The Indians are on the warpath.
On the 18th they killed n man by the
name of Warren. near Mulberry Greek
crossing, and scalped him, leaving not
q trace of hair on his head. l never
witnessed such a sight as when they
brought him back TO town with his
scalp and both ears cut of. lie leaves

Ii is feared by their friends here, that
the above party have been corralled by
the sava9e>. as nothing can be heard
from them.
Last week. two hunters, Tom. Wal

Indians near the Canadian, and after
a sharp conflict both were killed.
The Indians have slso run off lot OF

The Indian Office.

Senator Ingalls,, who has no kind OF
faith in the Quaker policy of dealing
with the Indians, introduced, on
Wednesday, bill to abolish the board
of Indian commissioners. Mr.. ingalls,
favors a restoration of the policy prac-
ticed many years ago, 4. e., to give the
management of Indian affairs to the
war department, and have officers of
the regular army detailed as Indian
superintendent and agents. This is
the only sensible plan that was ever in
force, and has two important recon-
mendations. First. Indians both fear
and respect soldier: and second, the
officers of the regular army have never
learned how to steal. They hold life
appointments depending upon faithful
services for promotion, and they do
their duty, in whatever position they
may be placed, with scrupulous integ-
rity and honesty.-Champion.

The Currency Bill Signed.

The president signed the currency
bill reported from the last committee
of conference and il becomes a law,
much TO the disappointment of many
inflationists of both houses who
thought he would veto it. The meas
ure fails TO meet the views of either
party in fact, and the best that is hoped
of il is that it may revive trade and
commerce.
The comptroller of currency is now
prepared to receive applications
for the organization of new national

We have always regarded Judge
Lowe as one of the best and trucst men
of Kansas. In his four years service
he has been subject TO but one unfav-

All these samples give evidence of
the unsurpassed fertility of Kansas

samples furnished Us, it is no wonder
that the tide of immigration is still
