The Verdict.

The Lawrence correspondent of the Kansas
City Journal, yesterday morning, says thai
''the verdict in the Hi.lman case has AT las
been made public. 1t excuses the body in
the hands OF the coroner from being the re-
mains of John W. Hilman, and duplicates
John II. Brown as a party TO the feloniou.
killing of said body, whatever its name n ay
have been. And now all the energies of the
law are directed towards the discovery OF
Brown"
Ii Is positively claimed that Hiilman
will be found and brought back to Lawrence
and that detectives are already on his track
II is also claimed that Brown did not kill the
man whose body was claimed to be Hillman.
On the other hand. IL is said that Brown did
not leave on account of any fear as to the re
suit of the inquest, but on account of the
testimony of Marshal Brockelsby, who said
that he had been watching him in answer 10
letters received from Texas, and that Brown
and Hillman had both been concerned in
some scrspe do n there. II is thought that the
Governor Will offer s reward for the detection
of the parties A view of the photographs
and by comparisons favor the idea that the
body brought here is not Hillman'x

lie had always iderstood that the govern
ment was divided into three distinct de-
pertments-the legislative, the executive.
and the judicial; but now the Legislative
branch steps forward and ssys If the ex-
ecuiive does not sign the bills it offers, i;
will starye the judiciary. Tais was
carrying the matter further than
he had ever known it to 90 before; and
besides this Judiciary, the other side would
reuse TO appropriate dollar for the ez-
penses of the capitol building and grounds;
for public printing, or for the Congressional
library; the department Of State, Of which
the country had reason tn be proud:
our foreign affairs, were to be disabled, and
our diplomatic relation must cease unless
the President signs this bill. The bea-
cons and warning lights on seventeen
thousand miles of coast must 60 cut: the
minis of New Orleans, Denver, San Fran
cisco and Philadelphia must stop; the pen
sion bureau must suspend operations: all
executive functions OF the Government are
taken by the throat in highwayman style
and commanded to stand and deliver, in the
name of the Democrat causcus, The pic
ture was..s striking one. A strange time had
come when men, fresh from the battle field

What no Legged Man Can do.

On Thursday evening last, IN company
with friend, we drove out to the residence
of Jack Martin, which is situated about a
mile from the western corporate line of
jackson. Jack is a colored gentleman of
some fifty winters, and about the same
number of summers, springs and autumns
He is bachelor and a Christian. He is
short Of statue. Originally he measured
the average length of men, but portion
of him has been cut off. Several years ago
he got entangled some how or other with
railroad train, and both Of his feet were
fearfully mangled, necessitating the ampu-
tation of both legs just below the knee
joints. He recovered and is now healthy,
vigorous man, but the operation lowered
him fully 18 inches. He don't stand as
high in the community as he did, except as
to moral character. He has quit running
foot-races, and don't indulge in dancing
any more.
Shortly after the war closed, Jack pur-
chased from his old master, the late re-
respected Maj. F. S. Hunt, two acres of
ground in the woods, and went to work.
A neat little frame cottage was quickly
erected, the two acres were cleared up and
enclosed. We have not the space nor time
to describe how he did it, but he did it.
About half an acre was left for the house
and yard; there is a beautiful pond in the
yard. Half an mere is devoted to garden
vegetables, and rare fruit trees; and one
acre planted down in Strawberries, Wis
itor now will find the whole premises in
perfect trim and under an advanced state
of cultivation. Jack has learned how to
raise Strawberries, and be knows all about
fruit trees. For years he has made this
little place yield from 500 to 5000 year.
And he has done It all himself from the
ground. up, commencing without dollar.
His present prospect is better than ever
before, and he is now a rich man, with no
debts against him, with solid credit, able to
have money in bank, contribute literally
to his church, and oljects of charity, and
is universally respected.
His example shows what man Of indus
try and average skill can do in this rich and
favored country OF ours, if he will only
have the moral courage to seek his fortune
in the s1il. What a shame it is that an
able bodied man should despair and starve
in a country like thisi
