ARatber,. Vengeance,

GREEN BAY, Wis, June l6.-A most terrible
punishment was inflicted ON q wonld-be libertine
in this city yesterday. A deaf and dumb daugh-
ter of Alt. Smith, of Green Bay, ON her return
home for vacation from the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum at Delavan, was approached on the train
by travelling salesman of jewelry, named
Howe, who made himself agreeable, and subse-
quently addressed her letter making improper
proposals. The letter fell into the hands of the
father, who kept the appointment in place of his
daughter. Going to Howe's room at the Bea-
mont House, and locking the door behind him,
so that there could be no escape, he administer
ed to him a most tremendous thrashiIg. Howe
first drew pistol but this the angry father
seized and threw away. He then Jumped on the
wretch and pounded him, threw him down,
knocked, kicked and flung him around in the
most terrible manner. The blood strewed car
pet, bed and walls, and Howe was SO badly pun
ished that it was at first doubtful if he could re-
cover. He is, however, under the care Of ply
scians, IN way of recovery. Mr. Smith rs re-
ceiving tho congratulations of the whole CITY,

NELLIE is NOBODY IN ENGLANp-I hope that
no expectations were entertained in the United
states concerning honors to be paid to the Presi-
toris. The papers recorded the fact of her mar
rage IN paragraph of five or six lines, but no
mention has been made of her arrival with her
husband in England. In fact the opinion seems
to DC that the young lady made a mesalliance,
and has placed herself at great disadvantage.
As miss urant, the daughter of the American
President, she was welcomed here Inv the sweIIs
and received by the Queen; but rs Mrs. Sartoris

BURIINGAME.-We learn that Ward Burlin-
game, of Topeka, will be a candidate for Secre-
tary of State, before the Republican State Con-
vention. Mr.. Burlingame has been Private Sec
retary TO nearly every Governor that Kansas has
ever had, since she has been State, aud proba-
bly, knows more about State affairs and the work
ings of its institutions than any other man in
it. He possesses first-class qualifications for the
Office of Secretary of fState-combining both cler-
ical and executive ability in the highest degree.
Mr.. Burliugame is not one Of the class of candi-
dates for Secretary of State that we mention in
another article in this issue. He will make the
race upon his owl merits.

Our WITH THENl-We notice that a number
Of our Kansas exchanges are crying out Justify
in favor Of man for Governor in the interests of
parity, economy, and bonesty-and every one of
the papers so troubled, do not want Gov. Osborn.
Now, we are all looking for just such man. We
wish these papers would tell us of single cor
rupt or dishonest act that Gov. Osborn has COM
mitted since he has been in Office, or any meas
ure tb.t savored of waste or extravaganza. We
have not heard a single charge preferred against
him, and his administration has been emipently
distinguished for securing to the State and its
people rights which had long been neglected.
Unless they show and prove things to the con-
trary against Gov. Osborn, we shall have to write
them down as brawlers in the interest of men
who covet Gov. Osborn's place.

How He is Setting Them Up.

Il t.ss been remarked what large number of
candidates for Secretary of State are coming out.
Especially is this noticeable in the Northwest
ern Counties, nearly every one of which has a
candidate. Now, We would not say aught in dis
psragement of the claims of the great North
West, for they are not second to those of the
great South West; and either of these great Sec
tions is far more deserving and has received far
less favors than the great Neosho Valley used TO.
But that the great Northwest should conceive
that Secretary of State is the particular Office
that she needs-thereby hangs tale The great
Northwest is having it played upon her fine.
There is candidate for Governor very busily
at work setting up things for himself. He is a
good fellow, and = sharp fellow. His name is
not Sharp, but We shall call him Sharp, because
that is his gait Sharp's right-bOwer, whom we
shall call Paul Rivers, because his heart goes
gushing ont toward the people of the great North
West like q river, has lately made prospecting
tour through the great Northwest. In every
County he has found an active influential, aspir-
ing man, who thinks he deserves State Office.
He takes that man by the tip of the ear, and
tells him he ought to be Secretary of State, and
can be, if he only works it right. His friend
Sharp is in favor of it, and will do all in his pow
er in his favor The result is, the man in this,
that and the other County announces himself for
Secretary of State, and at once goes to work
spiking things for his delegate-said delegate, it
is understood, is to favor Sharp for Governor,
and his own County man for Secretary of State.
Rivers will soon visit the great Southwest, and
other parts of the State, which event shall be
known by the token that candidates for Secreta-
~ of State are multiplying in those sections. If
ahe thing pans out right, the result will be, that
every County will send delegate two in ia
NOr of Sharp for Governor, but each delegate
will want different man for Secretary of State.
As the nomination for Governor comes first, if
Sharp wins, he can stand of and laugh at the
scrub race for Secretary of State!

~ An Arkansas paper has the honor, this
year, of first telling the story of a woman who
went to spring to do her weeks washing, TAX
ing her two children along. The oldest, while
playing short distance away, was bitten by
rattlesnake. Its screams attracted the mother,
who ran to its assistance; but while she was thus
absent, the youngest child fell into a tub of
water and was drowned Half crazed with
grief, she ran to a neighboring farm, where her
husband was assisting in raising house. He
was startled and unnerved by the news she
brought, that he loosened his hold on a stick of
timber he was raising, causing it to fall upon
him and kill him. The suake-bitten child also
died. The story brings the juice to our eyes
freely as it did in our childhood, when we first
read it, and every year SINCE We insist that the
poor woman should be disposed in some way to
end her misery; and we hereby give notice, that
if this is not done, we shall next year set the
story afioat ourself, and finish up the woman by
some improved humane process,

BUFFERS STRONG HoLD.-Wise members of
Congress will refrain from entering into the
athletic sport of throwing mud with General
Butler. He has the advantage over most of them
that he throws his own missiles with precision
acquired by long practice, and the further ad
vantage that they commonly object to being hit,
while with him it makes no manner of difference
whether he is hit OF not. little mud more or
less doesn't show upon him. Accordingly, Gen.
eral Butler was the easy victor yesterday over
these gentlemen who indulged him with trying
shot or two. Our qualification at his victory
is q little dashed by the reflection that talents
for repartee which are almost wasted in Wash
ington, might have won their possessor eminence
among the wits and sages of the Board of Assist
ant Aldermen of the city of New York.-Nec
