INFORMATION CHEERFULLY GIvEN.-W. w.
Guthrie, NJ. c., who edits the inside of the Troy
patent outside, propounds several questions to
us, which We shall answer, because We perceive
he is sadly in need of information. He asks US
to tell the people of this County the name of the
man who put Sam. Lappin, when escaping from
the Topeka Jail, across the river ut White Cloud,
in the night time; and also the names of the
citizens of Doniphan County who are on Charles
G. Sc rafford's bond for his release from the To-
peka Jail. We can Inform Mr. Guthrie, N. c.,
that Sam. Lappin did not cross the river at
White Cloud, in the night time, or any other
time, when escaping from the Topeka Jail. Mr.
Stanley, who assisted him of, says they struck
due north from Topeka, passed few miles from
Seneca, aud entered Nebraska somewhere be-
tween Beatrice and Pawnee City, and that they
crossed the Missouri River in the northern part
of Nebraska. So that they got out of Kansas
somewhere in the region where Guthrie used to
plow corn in his shirt-tail, and practice law in
his bare feet, with his trousers-legs rolled up.
To the second question, We answer, that Charles
G. Scrafford never was in the Topeka Jail. We
may add, for further information, that We never

ELEcTINa BAH AEN.-We never hear Demo-
Gratis railing against their tickets, charging that
bad men have been nominated But not an elec-
tion passes, but We hear men claiming to be
Republicans, bowling about bad men on the
ticket, and wearing their boot-soles off in their
efforts to defeat them. In States where they
have experienced the beauties of Democratic
rule, and where it requires united efforts to sue
ceed, this Democratic dodge does not fool many
Republicans into the work of defeating their
own ticket. When Hartranft was nominated
for Governor Of Pennsylvania, such . hue and
cry of corruption as was raised against him, was
never before heard in the State, and it seemed
as if the people were going wild over it. 1t
looked as if Hartranft would not get respects-
bic vote. But he was elected by q large major
ity, and was reelected and more honest and
faithful Governor never ruled Pennsylvania.
Not particle of corruption has ever shown it
self in any Of his official acts. So with Mackey,
the State Treasurer. This officer was formerly
elected by the Legislature. It was charged that
Mackey bought his election, and that he would
steal the State poor. The new Constitution of
Pennsylvania made the Treasurer an elective
officer by the people. At the first election there

State has never lost dollar through him. This
is usually the way it turns out in Kansas. Any
man nominated by the Republicans, is bad
men, in Democratic eyes; and as long they
can find Republican fools to take up the cry,
and do their work for them, they will have
soft thing it. If there were enough of such fell
lows to throw Kansas into the clutches of the
Democracy for q few years, they would find out
something about bad men on tickets

SOMETHING ELsE.-Tbs Highland Sentinel hav-
ing shown itself SO well posted as to the defeat
of Col. Keith, twelve years ago, We have another
matter, of a much more recent date, which we
wish the Seafinel would present for the consid-
Grafton of those Republicans who could not vote
for Kelley. 1t refers to the election Just past.
In denouncing the bad ticket nominated by the
Republican Convention, ID. W. Brown is held
up as being especially bad He was sian ghtered
at Highland about as badly as Kelley was. In
the County Convention, Mr.. Close was the
first candidate nominated. Highland knew that
it was impossible to secure the nomination of
another Highland man but if her delegates had
voted solidly for one of the candidates for Couu-
Superintendent against Brown, they would have
raised his vote to such proportions to have
secured other unpedged votes, and nominated
another man in place of Brown. But they plac-
ed Mr.. Dinsmore's name before the Convention,
with the express understanding and agreement,
that they should vote for him until they saw
Brown had sufficient number of votes that, by
their going to him, they could give him ma
jority. They did this right along, until Brown,
by the aid of the Highland vote, would have
majority, when Mr.. Dinsmore himself, although
not delegate in the Convention, in his extreme
anxiety to carry out the programme, hoped up
like pea in hot skillet, and announced that
he withdrew his name, in Jfaror of d. ". Brorn!
Then Highland Topped over to Brown, and went
home and helped to beat him, because he was a
bad man!

1 Guthrie, having started ont in the Balletin
to demolish us, brings Cy. Leland in for large
share of his compliments. Cy. Leland does not
edit the Chief nor tell us what to put in it..
But perhaps Guthrie wants to pay him back,
for warning him that if he made an ass of him
self, in his speech at the Court House, he would
be bissed out of the room, as the temper of the
audience was jnst right for 1t. This spoiled
Guthrie's customary speech, and he was forced
to retain large amount of bile that he had Sc
creted for the occasion. 1t has to come ont now,
and Leland must take his share of it,

"PArISG HIS pxBrs."-- Since Guthrie, The
cheap blq.bcrskiae sad selfmade ass Of Earthsrn
Kansax, is having ~ much to say about the dis
honesty Of other people, and 50 much about his
determination to ''pay his debts" let us give
sample Of his o~n personal honor Several years
ago, considerable amount of property at Dom
iphan. aftar having been for years in Court, and
having been advertised time after time TOR sale,
was at last brought to sale. Guthrie represent
ed parties having a large interest in the claim,
and sent an attorney TO Troy, to represent him,
and bid in the property. Sherid's sales are al
ways cash sales. Guthrie, however, did not send
. dollar of cash, for that was not his game Lut
he authorized his attorney to pledge his (Guth-
rie's) word of honor that the money should be
forthcoming, before the sale was confirmed BY
Court. Sheriff Vanderslce Trusted in Guthrie's
word of honor, and Knocked off the land to him.
When the case was brought before Court for
confirmation, yandersIice demanded his money,
and Guthrie gave him a check an Atchison
bank, 50 worded, however, that it could not be
paid until after given number of days-and
before that time expired, Guthrie managed to
have no funds in the Lank to pay it. The sale
was confirmed, and yanderslice who was sup
posed In law to have the money there in COurt,
became responsible. That check was not paid,
but Guthrie, who had pledged bis word of honor,
set about attempting to open the whole case,
and to knock in the head the sale that was al
ready confirmed. 1t went on thus for couple
of years. The sale was confirmed and final, on
Vanderslice's return that be had received the
money-said money being Guthrie's word of
honor. Parties interested were demanding their
share of the proceeds Of Vanderslice and threat
enng to him on his bond. Guthrie steadily
refused to pay, and for several years kept the
Sheriff ont of the money. 1t was finally paid
only after every attempt to set aside the sale
had failed, and Guthrie found that the best
thing for his clients would be to pay the money
on the original sale. Vanderslice narrowly es-
capped and if he lives a thousand years, We may
safely say that he will accept any kind of fat
money in preference to Guthrie's word of honor.

We propose 10 trace the connection be- tween the plnce-names in Yorkshire and those in tie north of Europe In York shire we fnl the District of Cleveland, (celebrnteI for it's breed of coach horse4;) ln Norway We have the name KleveIand. The name Bnithwaite has just been spoken of ts that of two villages, one iu Cumberland, the other in Yorkshire; in Norway We find Br;athveit, the familiar thwaite being uSually so written in Norway. Ten miles from Ripon stands the market town of riirsk. formerly ThOrsk; in Nor way We fnd ths hamlet of Thorske. Near ltipon is the village of Sharow; iu Nor way, Sk;Iro; ''h' aud ''k' being, as before mentioned, interchangeable letters, the names may be regarded as identical. In the west of Yorkshire we have Apple thwaite; in. Norway, Eplrthvet; in York shore, LofthouSe; in Norway, Lofthns; in Iurkshi c, GoOle, and Howden; in Nor way, Cool and Hodven. Again, the York shire names of Milhy, Starbeck, Swainby, Rogan, gre reproduced in Malby, and Melby, Stalek, Svenneby, and Rogn These are but few of many proofs which might be produced that the home names were not forgotten by the eolonizers of -rkshire.-AH He Ycw Round.

 HUNDRED YE.AGGS AGO.

It is curious to take pp tie critical jour- nais of 100 years ago, and to rend the re views of Jomnson's JowHy 10 Me lI'estrn Isiands, which appeared in l775. Tne Monthly and Criticat are almost obseqnious in their praise. Tie former review ob- serves that, "as to any little defects that may possibly be espie in this work by the microscopic eye of minute critic, We have not at this time either leisure or inclination to engage in search of them. Indeed, the modesty and dignity, of simplicity with which this phlosophc writer concludes his volume are sufficient to turn the edge of al true and liberal criticism" The Crii,cni reviewer finds in the book "cvery talent united which could gratify the most inquiShiye curiosity, or give elegance and dignity to narration," sentence which Johnson might reasonably have regarded il tla,tcry expr ssel in what is proverbially il; sinccrcat form. Of course, the London Rcrietc. which Kenrick owned and edited, wns not likely to swell the chorus, and much parlonable fun was made out of Johnsonianisms such as, "1hey cannot give much who nre known to have but little.

Mir. John c.

His law office in the city was rather shabby affair. Tie day before the duel WAS sitting in room, when, at slight noise. turn, d around and saw my father ill the doorway, stand ing silently there and looking ut ne with most sweet and beautiful expression of coumtennnce. It was full of tenderness, and without any of the business preOccu- patton he sometime had. Jolln,' he said, when I had discovered him, won't you come and sleep with ne to-night?' ? His voice was very frank. as if he had been my brother instead of my father. That night I went to his bed, and in the morning very early he awakened me, and taking my hands in his palms, all four hands extend. ed, he said, and told me 10 repeat, the Lords Prayer. Sevcnty-iiTe years have since passed over my head, and have forgotten many things, but not that ten der expression when he stood looking 1t me in the door, nor ihe prayer we made together the morning before the duel.
