We would remind the various aspi-
rants for political honors throughout
the country that the. happiness of u
people does not depend alone upon
their attainment to power. 1t has been
well remarked that the destinies of a
nation depend less ON the greatness of
the few, than on the virtues or vices Of
the many. These eminent individuals
may cast farther the features of our
glory or shame, but the realities of our
country's veal or woe lie deep in the
great mass--among the canaille. The
curling tops of lofty waves are the crest
Of the ocean, but from its depths flow
the overpowering strength Of its tides.
Take heed, and govern yourselves ac-
cordingly.

The case of the Territory VS.. John
Raynees ~tStonewail), in which defend
ant vas charged with threatening to
shoot and kill one John F. Whipple,
was heard before Justice Slaughter on
yesterday, and the defendant held in
the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars
to answer at the next term of the Dis
trict court. ssStonewall'' is the same
individual who pummeled Jules Ecof-
fey about a year ago, and who was
finally discharged from arrest for that
~offense, on account of the non-appear-
ance of the prosecuting witness at the
trial. After this Stonewall went to the
Hills, and during his absence his girl
'sMaud'' concluding it was not well to
live alone, married Whipple, and Stone
wall, on returning yesterday. proposed
to annul that contract by cleaning out
Whipple, but failed. Being unable to
give bail he was marched off to the
Hotel de O'Brien, wherein he now
languishes.

Compulsory Eiu.ation.

Though some repugnance is naturally
manifested toward compulsory educa-
ton, we incline to attribute this more
to habit than to any essential reasons.
The education Of children is not a duty
which the Territory can afford to leave
to the caprice of the parent. 1t cannot
even clothe the parent with the right or
power to deny to his child a suitable ed
ucation. Where it clearly appears that
those parents whose children most need
education to enable them to rise in the
world are intent on squeezing a petty
and premature return for. their labor,
or are wholly Indifferent to their future
welfare, the same principle which JUS
titles us in taxing all to pay for schools,
also justifes the requirement that all
shall attend school. Our legislators
have made careful provisions for the
rising generation Of the Territory in
u School Laws, as amended at last
winters session, and our District Board
teachers and superintendent should
see to it that its provisions are
fully carried out. knowledge, like
virtue, is not good because it is useful,
but useful because it is good. 1t is
useful contingently, and good essen
TALLY. The joy of it is simple, and not
only needs not to he supplemented by
accessory advantages, but it is well
worth the forfeit of many advantages to
obtain.

THE LUNATIC WITNESS.

One of the investigating committees
now at work in Washington, recently
listened to most remarkable account
of perfidy against President Grant.
The witness testified that Grant had
come to him at all hours of the day
and night to pray on his bended knees
for pardon for nameless wrong done
to the witness affianced bride. AS a
final question he was asked how the
President managed to see him at Ger.
tain places named. Perhaps the feel
ings of the committee can be imagined
when the witness replied that the
wrong the President had done him was
only in the spirit-he never appeared
to him in the body!
The President tells the story that
for many weeks he was conscious that
he was being shadowed ; that he could
never leave the white-house without
finding the maniac turn upon him at
some corner, and glover upon him
with his roaming eyes; that the es-
pionage became intolerable, and one
day he stopped the man and told him
it must cease, or he would have him
arrested. It did not cease, and the
President in his walks carried cane
The mad man still continued to haunt
the white-house grounds and the
streets, and was finally taken to the
asylum. He had been there but a
short time, when his friends told the
authorities that they would take him
to his home in Ireland if he could be
released. The request was immediate:
ly granted, and he was sent to Ireland.
BY what means that madman was
brought here is left to the readers
imagination.

DIAMOND BLUFF.

About the close of the French revo.
luton of '03, a French nobleman had
born to him a deformed female child.
A man of eccentric character, he sup
posititiously exchanged it for another,
the father of the child so taken being
also a nobleman, and a political enemy
of our hero. Unable to escape detec-
tion, he finally fled to America, making
his first stand at Quebec. Soon feeling
insecure here, he made his way via the
Straits Of Mackinaw to a point on the
shore of Lake Michigan near the pres
ent site of Chicago. He had failed,
however, by all his torturous wander.
ings, to elude the efforts of father in
search Of a lost child. His hiding
place was finally discovered, and the
unfortunate child, now budding into
womanhood, taken back to her friends
in France. The fictitious father es.
capped and made his way up the Missis-
sipi river. and located near the present
village of Diamond Bluff. Here he lived
for many years, and died, as Indian
tradition has it.. The region in which
he lived was named. ssOld Mans
Prairie" in honor of his memory.
This bit of romance comes to us
through the old French Catholic mis-
sionaries to the Indians in the Upper
Mississippi Valley. 1t seems that the
nobleman was possessed of certain val
liable real estate in France at the time
of his departure, the monuments of IT,
tie of which he took with him. This
led persons interested in his estate to
make search for him, naturally MAX
ing use of she shrewd and tireless Cath
olic missionaries. They traced him to
Diamond Bluff, but never got clue to
his papers.
