Wilson'S CREEK.
August 10. lsel-August 10. 1879.

Time rolls On, bringing quietly to % ID
changes, and % s'lently do they drop upon
us, and 20 rapidly do ve accommodate our
selves to them, that they seem, after they
are accepted, very little surprising, but
rather the natural outgrowth of the circun,-
stances BY which they are surrounded.
II We are asioniahed to-day, to-morrov %
accustomed have We become 10 the new
fscts thst We simply wonder We were aston
ished At all.
To such IN extent is this peculiar char
acieristic of American character carried,
and 20 fruitful IN opportunities for its de-
velopment has been the last seventeen yean,
that even great events marking epochs in
our history a. indiyidusls and a q people,
are almost forgotten, or, If remembered, are
thought Of quietly a. unfortunate eirenm-
stances.
The anniversary of one Of these eirexm-
aanoes tranapired yesterday, and ne deem il
appropriate TO call the attention of our
readers to the fact that yesterday, seventeen
years ago, was fought the battle of Wilson's
Creek-seventeen years ago the noble Lyon
sacrificed his life, q holy holocaust upon the
altar Of his country-seventeen years ago,
was being submitted to the dread arbltra.
ment Of arms the greatest question that
ever convulsed the political world-seven-
teen years ago, true, strong men stood in
front Of the battIe-dressed in blue and gray
and died in defense Of their representative
banners.
1t would not be surprising il to-day their
ghosts were marching in solemn procession
over the fields Of their mariyrdom, bearing
above them . shadowy flag, emblasoned
with stars unseen BY mortal eyes. and keep
ing time to Wild, unearthly music unheard
by mortal ears, but yet swelling aud sub-
lime "a pean-exhaulted a. the shout Of
. world redeemed.
This is one of the circumstances which
We ought not let drop out Of our memories
and II we make NO public demonstration,
We should At least say high mass in our
hearts, for the souls Of our departed heroes.
Its interests should make it peculiarly
dear to all, rs il was among the first battles
Of the late war; but While We think ten
DERBY of the brave dead of Wilson's Greek.
We ought, at the same time, to remember
that it is only one among the innumerable
multitude of similar circumstances, which
gives "a q nation, our proud history.
Let us, as . people, while remembering
the brave men Who fought and fell With
Lyon. on the 10th Of August, 1861, not for
get the thousands of Others. equally brave,
who died in cause equally dear to them.
May their memories live green and fresh
in our hearts - long as life ehall last.

WESTPoRT WICKEDNESs.
Illicit Love, Shame and Then Ex-
posure.

Kansas City Journal,
And nov it is the quiet, sedate little vii
lage Of Westpor that is all a-gog With .
scandal Of huge magnitude. The scandal
is great enough to create . ripple Of excite
ment in q city of the size and character Of
Kansas City, or even of Chicago, but when
it burst forth in 10 virtuous . little burg "a
it did. the effect vas simply immense. The
story, as related to the reporter, il ss fol.
lows: In an old-fashioned house on one Of
the streets of Westport there lives . man
who has . wife and two daughters, one Of
whom is grown and the other about seven
teen years of age. Across the street from
the old mans place there resides . young
man who has wife and two children some
where in Kansas.
The old man was a. jealous a. the hus-
hand of Donna Julia in Byrons DON Juan,
and. proceeding to investigate his vife's
conduct in the same way a Donna Juiia's
husband did. Vas much more successful in
discovering his better hslf's in6delity than
vss his iIlustrious predecessor. He entered
his bedroom on Sunday night and made
the discovery that his wife was there and in
bed, and also that somebody else had been
there since he had been gone, and that
somebody else" Was sill there, and that
that somebody else" vas no less than
the young man across the vay. Then there
was "racket." Tie old man swore, and,
in his wrath, pitched into the furniture
which he smashed up ind,scriminately. He
would have in like manner smashed the de-
stroyer of his domestic happiness, but that
individual had, like Joseph Of old, fled.
leaving his garments behind"-beyond this
there is no similarity between somebody
e.se" and Joseph.
The discovery was then made BY the old
man that his wife was not alone in her
guilt, but that one Of his daushtem vas in
the same category. This capped the climax,
and the old man was almost beside himself
with grief and indignation. 1t is now said
that the woman will try to send her hus-
band to the asylum, she alleging that he is
insane.
The woman, her daughter and the man
whose amoun caused eli the trouble, we're
ia the city yesterday.
