An Insane Mans Wanderings Around the
World.


A Kansas City correspondent writes:
Appleton City, Mo-, is pointed out as
the home of Hon. S. S. Burdette, for
merly Commissioner of the General
Land Office, and now of Washington,
who, it will be remembered, while
holding that position in May, 1876,
suddenly disappeared from Washing
ton, and in September, 1877, suddenly
reappeared in Appleton. Mr. Bur
dette, at the close of the war in which
he, as a Union Colonel, had seen much
service in this part of the State, formed
copartnership with Mr.. E. j. Smith,
and the firm, having offices at Sedalia
and at Appleton, built up a large law
practice. Mr.. Burdette, being very
popular, soon stood high with all
classes as a citizen and a lawyer. He
left, on his removal to Washington,
many friends in this section of country,
who wished him every success, and the
community generally were surprised
when they learned of his disappearance,
and were unable to account for it.
Every effort was made to discover a
clue to his whereabouts, his Masonic
brethren and the secret service men of
the Treasury especially making inquir-
les in this country, while portraits and
circulars were sent through the United
States Consuls to every quarter of the
world; but beyond the fact that his re-
signation was mailed a few DAYS after
his disappearance, no tidings could be
obtained of him. His family and friends
began to fear he was dead, and finally,
when the most sanguine began to feel
hopeless as to any trace of him being
discovered, he, in September, 1877, as
Suddenly made his appearance here.
He first found himself in Appleton City
looking at the residence of his former
knocked. Mrs. Smith answered and,
recognizing him, exclaimed, "Why,
this is Mr.. Burdette." Mr.. B. answer
ed, "Yes, that is my name," and then
asked where he had been. His friends
were at once sent for, and, having been
restored to his family, he gradually
fully recovered his reason. This sin
gular episode in Mr.. Burdette's exist
ence has since appeared to him like a
dream, he having no recollection of
leaving your city, or the reasons there.
for, and he first realized that he was
away from home and friends when far
away from any settlement, in the in
terror of Australia. After his return
he remembered having beenin London,
next in the Island OF st. Helena, and
finally in Australia. In February last
Mr.. Burdette returned to Washington,
and from the manner in which he ar
gued the McGarrahan case gave proof
that his mind is as vigorous as ever. 1t
should be stated that Mr.. Burdette had
been suffering for years from an acute
disease of the stomach, and, having
the impression that it was incurable,
he became respondent, and finally tenn
porarily insane. There are but few
people in the section of the country
where he had spent so much of his life
who did not sympathize with him in
his affliction, and now rejoice that he
has been restored fully to health in
mind and body.
