THE KIND OF MAN He Is.-Tom. Ewing, of
Ohio, is man of no principle. He will desert
any party, and unite with any other party, for
the sake of personal advantage In Kansas, he
belonged to the wing of the Republican party
that Governor Robinson did, which was oppos-
ed to the wing led by Gen. Lane. Yet, when
Lane set on foot the effort to impeach Gov
Robinson, Ewing, although Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, was the chief adviser of the
Lane men, and did the planning and head work
for them. Again, in the Fall Of 1862, when
Lanes great effort was to gain control of the
State Government, by securing the nomination
of his personal partisans by the Republican
State Convention, Ewing was there, behind
the scenes advising and manipulating with the
Lane men. He was booked for the Colonelcy
of the 1lth Kansas, which was being organic cd,
and in which Lane had a controlling influence
In the army, his policy was extra radical, after
Lanes style. Now he is the candidate of par
ty who make hatred of earnest Union men one
of their main principles.

HUNGRY SoUEAL-We recently made .
"few brief remarks" upon Q text found in q
number Of papers, to the effect that some half q
dozen or more Counties in South Western Kan
sas would need aid, on account of failure of the
crops by drouth. Our remarks were, that men
were besmearcd for telling the truth about that
country, and that it wouId he for the better for
all to tell the truth, aud let people go there
with their eyes open. And now the thing is
happening to us, just as we said. We are being
besmeared for those remarks, and other papers
that copied them are being besmeared. There
is little thumb paper down in WALNUT City,
published by Gum & Stumbaugh. Gum is
son of Gum, and Stumbangh is worse. He is
said to have been one Of the members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature whom old Simon Cam
eron bought, some years ago. He was . men,
Der of the Kansas Legislature, last Winter, and
was mad because somebody wouldn't ssduce
him, that he spent most of the time since the
adjournment at Washington, howling for the
Senate to investigate and ascertain whether
somebody else wasn't bought, while he was re-
jected either for spot or future delivery. This
Gum and Cameron's lean kline squelched the
Chiefs article at one dab, by saying that the
Chief is edited by Sol. Miller, the biggest black.
guard in the State. That settles it. Whenever
it is desirable to contradict anything in the Chief
it is necessary only to say that Sol. Miller is
blackguard. Bat that won't keep Gum & Stun
baugh from being hungry next Winter, or their
paper from suspending, if they cannot get some
black-mail out of the investigation.
Another paper, after pitching in, in a similar
strain, goes to work to show that the country is
prosperous, by making the statement that the
railroad company is giving employment to the
people, that there will be no suffering or call
ing for aid. 1t may be sign of prosperity to
see all the people of country going to work on
q railroad, in the middle of harvest; but we can
no more grasp the true juice of it than we could
the boast of paper in South Western Pennsyl-
vania that its County was enterprisng and pros
porous, because the inhabitants sold so many
hundred dollars worth of blackberries that Sum-
mer. But, then, it may be all on account of our
being the biggest blackguard in the State.

A Sister Devotion.

In the town anduburbs of Bombay
there is class ofleriditary Ministries,
called Cahruns, wo possess a certain
talent for improvisation, and earn a
precarious livelihood by chanting their
verses from house to house. To this
class belonged sbrother and sister,
respectively named Dada Jeve and
Baeba, who appeared to have been
tenderly attached to each other. The
former, though wongfully accused,
was convicted of ROBBERY and sentenced
to penal servitudefor life. His sister,
however, refused t(beiieve the evidence
and chung to her filth in his innocence.
Determined to discover tie truth, she
wandered about tie country for ten
years, disguised a. a female ascetic:
everywhere making inquiries. After
many disappointment she at last
alighted upon a cl@ that put her upon
the right track, all then the proofs
accumulated rapidly. Armed with
these she laid the ase before a mem
Der of council, who so far interested
himself on her behlf that he was one
day able to presen her with an order
for her brothers 'elease. The news,
however, was disclosed too hastily for
the prisoner. Thesudden revulsion OF
feeling was too mich for him, and be
was removed from Jail to the lunatic
asylum at Colaba, hopelessly insane.

MAJOR THORNBURGH.
A Brief Sketch of His Military Career.

The following leading events in the
military history of the gallant soldier
who has just fallen victim to Indian
treachery and fendishness, will be OF
Interest:
Thomas t. Thornburgh was born in
Tennessee, and in September, 1861, en-
listed In the 9th East Tennessee voluu-
tiers as private. After FIVE months
service IN the ranks he was promoted
to be sergeant major. Two months
later he was promoted to be lieutenant
and adjutant, and served in that Ca
pacity till August, 1868. He participa-
ted in the battles of Mill Spring and
Stone River, and in Gen. Morgan's re-
treat from Cumberland Gap to the
Ohio. He left his regiment in 1862 to
accept an appointment of cadet at
West Point from, his native state. He
graduated June II, 1867, with
the rank OF twenty-sixth in a
class of sixty-three. Upon gradual
| ing he was appointed second lieutenant
in the ID artillery, receiving the GUS
tomary leave Of absence till Sept. He
served at the Pfesidio. San Francisco,
Nov. 2, 1867, to Feb. %, 1868. He was
at the artillery school Tor practice at
Fortress Monroe from April 1S, 1868 to
| May 1869. Returning then to the Pa
cifc coast be was stationed at Alcatraz
island, San Francisco harbor, from June
4, 1869, to Nov. 10, 1871, except while
detached to Sitka, Alaska, Aug. % to
Nov. IL, 1869, and at San Diego, Cal,
Dec. 6, 1869, to April 2, 1870.
He was promoted to be first
lieutenant i'll the same regiment April
81, 1870. He was professor of military
science in East Tennessee university
Nov. 81, 1871, to June 90, 1878, in gar
rison at FJ. Foote, Md, June 80, 1873 to
April q, 1875, having been promoted
to be major of staff and pavmasteI
United States army, April 26, 1875. AS
paymaster he served at San Antonio
Tex. Aug. Is, 1875, to Jan. 20, 1877. and
at Omaha, Neb.. from Feb. 6, 1877, to
May %, 1878. On the last date he was
appointed major of the 4th infantry
and on June 90, 1873, was assigned t.
frontier duty at Ft. Steele, Wyoming.

went. He was unable to overtake them
but the unanimous opinion of army of
fcers was that he did the best he could
and that with the start the Indians had
no white force following on their track
could hope to overtake them. From
outside the army he received severe
criticism for his i'll success, to which he
was very sensitive, and in conse
quence of which he manifested solici-
tude for an opportunity to vin1icate
himself. He was regarded in the army
as very brave and conscientious officer
but it was recognized that he had haC
scant experience as an Indian-fighter
and in his comparative inexperience IL
frontier operations he may have neg
lected some opportunities that 81 veter

CATS AT SARATOGA.
Experiments Of Prof. Wilder In Feline
PhrenOiOSy.

Prof. Burt G. Wilder, of Ithaca, dis
played to a small circle of naturalists at
Saratoga, n. Y, August so a series of
experiments, for which an English in
vestigator, Prof. Terrier, has become
famous. 1t had long been supposed
that the hemispheres of the brain, at all
events on their outer surface, contained
no special nervous connection with the
rest of the system; that is, that they
were not the places where thought or
motion was called forth. Strong cleo.
trio stimulus mad been applied to these
parts of the brain without any result.
But less than ten years ago it was found
by certain investigators that very weak
electric currents applied to the surface
of the hemisphere called forth specific
actions, and this clew was followed out
by Prof Terrier with astonishing re-
suits. Some of these xperiments-not
making any pretensions to their novelty
were exhibited by Prof. Wilder upon
large white cat that had been made
utterly insensible by the administration
of ether. He had mapped out before
him diagram of the brain, with GER
tain places designated by figures. Pus-
sy's brain was denuded, and the points
specified were touched by the terminals
of a weak electric current. A chart
stated what was 10 be expected, and the
great event happened exactly in accord
ance. Thus, when the place on the brain
marked 81" was touched, the opposite
hind leg of the animal was advanced as
the chart said it would be. When "4'
wa touched, the front leg moved as if to
strike; being first drawn back. With a
touch to SO" the jaws moved and the
mouth opened. In some instances the
animal has been made to scream, spit,
and lash its tail by similar means. or Its
lips rise and the nostril seem to be irrl,
tated. The remarkable circumstance Is
that precisely the same class of actions
always follow the electricity to given
spot. This is a scientific phrenologyi
but exactly how to explain it, nobody
vet knows. Prof. Wilder has large
number of cats brains in alcohol. They
serve every purpose of the human brain
for student, and are more accessible
as well as in better preservation. lr
describing tbs Professors method OF OBJ
tanning sections of a cat, given in thi;
correspondence on Saturday, it shoulc
have been stated that the cat Is frs
wholly frozen, and then cut into sec
tons for anatomical displays-sawet
into convenient slices.

&C arass, the buttercups


IS the river sang the farmers at
uetr reaping;
pom the hills so blue and far, the maple leaves
were showing
Their soft white beauty in the breeze that from
the sea was blowing.
little maid came through the land with song
and ripping laughter;
The buttercups made way for her, the daisies
nodded after.
strong young farmer saw her pause beside the
parting river,
She drew lily from its depth with golden heart
a-quiYer.
Thou art more fair than lilies are, said he with
head upliIted,
And threw a poppy, as the stream toward the
maiden drIited.
She set the flowers in her hair-the red and white
together;
cloud grew black before the sun, and rainy
was the weather
He came across the river then, this farmer, from
his moving;
He MINDED not the waters depth, he cared not
Tor It's flowing.
80 lover SAID he,' IF cleaning sun and cloud
less skies oerlean US,
The rivers barring width may roll unpassed, I'M
tried between us;
But when loud thunder fills The air, and clouds
aud rain come over,
I'd cross the ocean to your slCe-l am no fair
day loverI"
And so one noon the village bells rang out aero
the river,
Their music set the buttercups and daisies ali
a-quiYer,
While some one drew lily from the stream so
blithely flowing,
And plucked a bloJd-red poppy that amid the
wheat was growing;
The maiden set them in her hair-the red aud
white together
With many a smile, tear or two, and glances at
the weather.
They passed beneath the chapeIs shade-the
farmer and the maiden
Where arches crossed above their heads, with
snowy blossoms laden,
And in tuat place OF holy calm the binding words
were spoken;
liz in his heart bore out the truth, she on hel
hand the token,
The years went by and some were bright anL
some We're clouded over,
But ever stood he at her side-he was no taIr
day lover.
