Intelligence haa been received
from New South Wales of the death
of one who became through the
force of circumstances rather a not
ed character in his day. Thirty
four years ago, as Queen Victoria
was passing up Constitution Hill,
in company with the late Prince
Consort, she was fired at by Edward
Cacnon, q ruffian, whose distardly
attempt Yves calamity frustrated by
Private McCleary, ofthe Scots Fus-
ilier Guards. For his conduct up
on that occasion McCleary was ele-
waited to the rank of an officer, and
sailed for Australia as Adjutant of
the Fifty-eighth Regiment. He
very soon became Can tian, and
greatly distinguished himself in the
war with Maories in New Zealand.
After the rebellion he became Ad-
Jutant of the mounted military
patrol at Sidney; he was then sue
cessively Governor of Darlinghurst
jail, Police Magistrate, and Inspec-
tor General of Police. He has re-

and his remains were honored with
a public funeral.

what has been noticed in that city and 9TH

the grass last fall. 1t says that grass has
come in, the like Of which has never been

is found nowhere except where the original
grass has been killed by grasshoppers. The
theory is, and 1t is not an unnatural one,
that the seed of this grass was brought in
the crop of the grasshopper. The law of
compensation is that there is a gain for
every loss, and who knows but that a new
and valuable grass may be introduced on
to our prairies by the grasshopper pest.

There is Still Another Chapter
In the Story OF Mrs. Con.
wells Husbands,
Which The Public Can Find Out
by Reading What Follows
Below.

Mrs. Conwell and her seven husbands
still continues to create quite a breeze
among the readers of The TINES, and yes
terday We had call from Mr.. Montgomery
Cochran, of A:chison, an attorney in that
town, who wished to learn few additional
facts in regard to this most interesting case.
The mother Of Mr.. Cochran's wife, the lat
ter formerly school teacher in this city,
Miss Lou Webb, is sister of Mr.. Cross,
the second husband of Mrs Conweli. The
point in dispute at the present time is this !:
Gross was killed about two years ago at
Chillicothe, by mob, while acting in the
capacity Of special policeman, appointed
by the Mayor. He had boy living at the
time OF his death, but from the fact that his
mother, Mrs. COnwell, had one husband
living, he was an Legitimate child, &C
cording to the statutes Of the Territory Of
Colorado. The second marriage Of Mrs.
Conwell was also illegal, according to the
same statute. The property to which the
boy would fall heir, were he legitimate, is
located in Colorado. All Of Cross personal
property will Of course revert to the boy
and several hundred dollars will be the right
OF Mrs. Conwell for having fed and clothed
the boy since his birth. Where the boy
is is not exactly known. Mr.. Conwell is be-
lieved to be in Topeka. Mr.. Cochran's mo-
tives in ferreting out the particulars in thi
case are for the purpose OF protecting hi
own interests and those Of the boy.
