A Tragedy.

On Saturday last the body of a young
man of Is, named Burr Kneeland, was re-
covered from the river at Milwaukee. He
was wholesale tobacconist and reputed to
be worth over 100000. At the inquest
his friends were astonished to see young
woman appear and claim to be his wife.
She exhibited marriage certificate show
ing that she was married to this man
Kneeland, by the Rev. Mr.. FindIay, in
this city. on the 22d day of May last,
which, we learn from Mr. Findlay, is true.
Her name was Laura Young, and she was
from Iowa For some time past she has
been living at hotel in Milwaukee, under
the assumed name of Hattie, Henderson,
at the request of Knoeland, in order tc
keep his parents and family from the
knowledge that he had wife, It is moi
believed that she ever was what is termed
common or bad woman, but that Knee
land had probably been the cause of hel
ruin, and been compelled to marry her
Mr.. Findlay says her appearance did no
indicate her to be bad character.
1t is also believed that Kneeland hat
come to the conclusion that he could NJ
longer keep secret his marriage and tina
rather than face the obloquy which mus
follow publicity among his friends he pre-
ferred death.
Mr.. Findlay was telegraphed on Satur
day to come Immediately to Milwaukee
to indemnity the body, but of course die
not 60, nor will he go unless required b.
law. He says that while he might linden
tify a photograph of the gentleman it i
not at all probable that he could indentif.
the face of man he had only seen two O.
three times, after it had lain some days il
the water.
The woman is, without doubt, the lega
wife of Kneeland, and his heirs will d.

Put None But Puritans on Guard"

Certain of the leaders in the Republi-
can party are doing their best to revive
the know nothing war upon foreigners, in
this country, Harper's Weekly is espec-
tally active in that direction, and the I'm.
ion, of this morning, copies and endorses
one of its articles. The object is plain
enough. 1t is to create feeling of antag-
onism between Catholics and Protestants,
and between native and foreign born citi-
zens 1t falsely represents that the Re-
publican party is the only friend of our
American public free school system, 1t
says: THE public school system of the
| United States is threatened, and can be
saved only by the Republican party. y
which is the merest nonsense in the world.
Persons of ordinary intelligence every
where, in town and country, know that our
public schools cannot and ought not to be
made football for party politics.
The Union, and those from whom it
takes its cue, would evidently like to make
a party question or party capital out OF
school matters. The utterance of such an
atrocious falsehood as the quotation we
have just made from its columns is evil
dence of that. The effort will fail. The
schools cannot be dragged into politics, aud
the people will not revive know nothing
