WHAT OTHER GENERALS HAVE WRIT
TEN

There have been thirteen Commanders
in-Chief of the United States army. Gen.
Scott held that position the longest Of any
one, namely, from June, 1Sil TO December,
1861. But for his inordinate vanity he
might have been President of the United
States. Men forgive any failing more
readily than that one. Theodore Tilton's
unpopularity is largely due to this same
weakness. Three Of thirteen have written
memoirs of their times and careers-Maior-
General Wilkinson, Lieutenant-General
Sec. and General Sherman. The former
had yeryli,tle TO write about, and did his
work in 4 most inexcusahly sloyenly man.
ner. He was appointed December 1896,
and in July, 179S, when war with France
was feared, he gave place for a year so to
General Washington, but was reinstated
June, $500, 10 remain in authority until
January, 1872. General SCOTS autobi-
ography was respectable work, in two
volumes, but it never attracted mucn atten-
ton. In a literary point of view, Sherman
has achieved a brilliant success, but he has
brought around his ears a whole swarm. OF

A MISTAKE.

We copied communication yesterday
morning, from the Kansas City TIne, in
which a physician of that city, signing
himself 81. F., NJ. D." gives his views of
Col. Anthony's case. An editorial para
graph intended to accompany the article
referred to, correcting an error Of fact under
which the writer labors, was left out
through mistake. The article is ably writ
his business, but his premises are wrong,
and therefore his conclusions are void. He
bases his argument upon the superstition
that the wounded artery has been plugged
by eliot of blood, whereas no such state
of affairs exists; the end OF the artery is
entirely open, and the blood, instead of be-
ing checked there, as the Kansas City writ
er supposes, is discharged into a space
opened by itself at the end OF the artery,
among the tissues, which the doctors term a
"false aneurism." The clot, or plug, to
which reference has SO frequently beer
made, and which thus far, has prevented
hemorrhage, is between this cavity and the
surface. From his premises, his conclu-
sions may be altogether correct, but 81. F."
will readily see that this puts an entirely
different phase upon the matter; however
in order to understand the case fully, he is
invited to come up and make an examina-
ton for himself.

CONVENTION WEEK.

This-is the season OF conventions and an
niversary meetings. There are in session
in the West no less than eleven church
bodies at the present time. The Episcopal
Convention Of the diocese Of Iowa is en-
gagged in balloting for Bishop, at Cedar
Rapids; the Western Diocesan Episcopal
Convention is in session at Kalamazoo
Mich; the Presbyterian General Assembly
is being held at Cleveland the Presbyterian
Assembly, South, is convened at st. Louis
the Cumberland Presbyterian Assembly, at
Jefferson, Texas; the United Presbyterian
Assembly and Sabbath School Convention,

cal Union, at Evanston, H.; the General
Conference of the Methodist Protestant
Church, at Princeton, ILL.,; the General Asso-
ciation OF Congrcgationalists of the State OF
Illinois, at Rockford; the Illinois State
Sunday School Convention, at Alton, and
the General Synod of the Reformed Luth-
Grams, at Fort Wayne, Ind. Beside these,
there are are other religious conventions in
remoter parts OF the Union, and many other
assemblies OF reformatory and secret soci-
cites. Among these latter are the Good
Templars' Worlds Congress, at Blooming
ton, ILL.,; the Convention OF Knights Tenn
plar (Masons), at Pittsburg, Pa; the meet,
ing of the Grand Lodge of Masons, at In

SUSAN 3. ANTHONY.

Susan II. Anthony is TO he credited with good
big sisIerly heart, which warns into perfect glow
OF admiration and sympathy for her brothe: in his
present affection. "Whatever he NAV have teen in
Kansas" she says she has been a noble and
brother. He has done more for the state than he
will get credit for and more than it will ever
do for him.-S LOHis Times.
The Times only speaks the truth, for du-
ring the Colonels illness Miss Anthony has
been constantly in attendance at his bed
side, administering TO his numerous wants,
pleasing him much better than any one
else. Every article Of food that has been
prepared has been from her hands, and she
has proven herself a kind, attentive and
sisterly nurse
Those not personally acquainted with Miss
Anthony, imagine her to he 4 woman having
no knowledge of the practical things Of this
life, and whose every hour is spent in
connecting plans to deprive men OF their
rights, and bestow the suffrage on poor
down trodden woman. But they are great,

THE PROSPECTS IN KANSAS.

Everything looks bright in this State,
except in few of the eastern counties.
From correspondence to THE TINES, both
by mail and telegraph, We learn that the
growing grain never looked better in South
ern Kansas, and that in majority OF the
counties neither the grasshoppers or chinch
bugs have made an appearance. From
parties who arrived in the city yesterday
from Colorado We learn that the grasshop-
pers are very numerous in that Territory
and that instead of coming toward Kansas
they are travelling in an opposite direction
This is good news for Kansas, but very
bad for our neighboring people. The insects
that have been in this city for the last few
weeks are rapidly disappearing, and from
all adyices, we believe that the farmer
can plant their second crop, with every as
surance that they will not again be dis
turbed. Oar citizens must remember tina
though I.eavenworth and bordering coun
ties have been severely injured, that th'
State is yet safe, and that another year vii

GRAssHoPPERs.

A trip out the Central Branch road,
few days ago, revealed the fact that the
grasshoppers had not made their appear
ance in sufficient numbers to do any great
injury beyond point thirty miles west OF
the river. For distance of twenty-five
or thirty miles, west OF Atchison, the crops
are badly injured-in some places every
thing being totally ruined-and for fifty
| miles the gardens have been generally
taken, while more or less injury has been
done the wheat and corn, but beyond fifty
miles scarcely any traces Of them are to he
seen. The crops in Nemaha and Marshall
counties look first-rate, and give promise oil
an abundant harvest, while these who have
been over the ground report that in the
counties west OF Marshall the prospect !:
still better.
Nobody could ask for finer crops thar
present indications promise from Northern
Kansas, except in the first, and part o.
the second tier OF counties on the east. Per
sonal observations, together with the mos
reliable inform alton we can gather upor
the subject from all sources, inclines Us Il
the opinion that the people OF Kansas are
this year, great deal more scared than
hurt, by the grasshoppers. A strip OF ter
ritory in Kansas and Missouri, a hundred
miles wide, and extending, probably, ;
hundred and fifty miles up and down tn
Missouri, is suffering very severely, but TIN
seems 10 be the extent Of the damage tina
is being done. Certain localities, in Othe
parts, are suffering some, but there appear
to be no general devastation beyond tn
limits of the district above referred to.

SUFFERING IN MISSOURI.

The destitution in the western part OF
Missouri seems TO be much worse than IN
any section of Kansas. The real extent OF
suffering has been concealed for some time,
but now, the newspapers do not pretend to
disguise the fact that the farmers are in a
very sad plight. They have had bad crops
for two years, and the grasshoppers COM
ing again this Spring, devouring their ear
ly vegetables, leaves them in such a po-
sition that they ara absolutely compelled to
seek aid, and ask the more fortunate peo-
pie of this country to save them from star
walton.
In Boone county the farmers are becom-
ing alarmed on account of the reports that
the grasshoppers are moving toward thai
county. A correspondent OF The TINES
from that neighborhood, says that a few
chinch bugs have appeared, but they arr
doing little damage. i'm Henry county th'
locusts have begun their work Of devasta
ton, and it is said there is considerable sui
l'pOA anu i'iSA
families. At a meeting held in Harrison
vile, Cas- county, a committee Of four wa
appointed to proceed to St. Louis and solic
it aid.
From the Kansas City newspapers W
learn that the people of Jackson county ar
thoroughly frightened. At mass meetin
held at Independence, 80 farmers wer
present, several Of whom made speechet
and represented the suffering as being yer
great, but all opposed and discountenance
the idea of sending East for aid.
The people Of that country propose t
help themselves until their resources al
exhausted, and then they will have to

ter discussing the subject Of school meetings,
the Superintendent proceeded TO speak OF
district officials ard their duties. General
questions were asked by the teachers pres
ent, which gave rise TO comfortable discus
sion. The District Board, in connection
with the County Superintendent, may dis
miss a teacher for cruelty, negli-
gence, incompetency, or immortality, and
may for proper causes suspend pupil.
1t was here announced that Miss Morrow
with her class in color would be present
this afternoon.
Prof. Raymond then proceeded with the
subject OF Industrial Drawing, beginning
with the discussion of squares. He asked
those teachers who considered themselves
inexpert in drawing to raise their hands
quite a number of hands were held up. The
professor then called one OF the mex perts to
the blackboard to try his skill. His effort
was very successful. Industrial drawing is
intended to be practical, and its educational
value should not be moderated. IL trains
