AYoUNG girl named Susan Johnson,
Of Uniontown, KY, who is addicted to
reading novels, dressed herself in boys
clothes. and, armed with two pistols and
a dagger, took the packet for Evansville,
intending to lead life that would be a
terror to the foe. On the boat some
deck-hands were removing some freight,
and big rat ran out and scudded in
the direction of our hero. Miss John
son jumped on bale of tobacco and
screamed. They carried her into the
ladies' cabin, where she remained dur
ing the round trip; and she has now
promised her parents to do her share in
the kitchen and keep her end up at the
sewing machine.

Union soldiers in battle and rebel pris-
ons, a survivor of Macon, Anderson
vile, and Libby, asks the people of
Iowa, on this anniversary morning that
means SO much to Iowa, is the situation
at the present day the way to reward
patriotism, or is patriotism lie and q
crlme-arid treason and murder and
unrepentant cruelty and demonism the
highest virtues that the Democratic
party can discover or that the republic
itself can reward? d
Not two weeks ago an editor of this
paper stood in Macon, and asked of a
citizen there, "Where are the prison
pens in which Union prisoners were
kept during the war" and was answered
with a sneer, "There is no such place
that was a lie of the id Yankees!"
Thus Confederate on the very spot
sought to wipe out, with lie that was
broader than the weakened, sneaking,
rebel face with which God had marked
him for mean man, the record against
his city and the South. Does the
North, for whom men of the North
died of starvation in that very prison
pen, or were shot to death on its dead
line begging for drink and water, or es-
capped all its perils and tortures finally
to reach home, accept this lie being told
at Macon and in Congress for the
truth, or is it knowingly and deliberate
ly SHINING against the men who died
there, by allowing the Congress of the
ideas and treason that set once at
Richmond to assemble with it's consent,
and by grace of some of it's own votes
at Washington?

A LEADvILLE incident: A bunko man
had robbed a miner Of $138. He was
pointed out. With half dozen pistols
at his head, he threw up both hands and
quietly took a sitting. His gold watch
and chain, pistol, keys and $3.50 were
taken from him. The $138 having been
returned to the miner, the balance was
handed over to the Chairman of the

The situation in Russia is of snch
gravity that in England it for the mo-
ment diverts attention even from the
troublesome Zulu and Afghan cues
tons. The ukase of the Gear pro-
claiminga state of siege in nearly all
the civilized portions of the empire is
considered about the equivalent of the
initiation of civil war, in which the
Government is the aggressor against or
der and civilized society. It in effect
obliterates all the laws or customs 11n-
der which Russia has been slowly adj
vancing from the barbarous despotisms
of the earlier Cars, and notifies the
people that henceforth their lives and
property are to be owned and disposed
of at will, not by the Gear in person,
but by a horde of irresponsible petty
despots, upon whose brutality or ra-
paclty there is no restraint. The effect
of this retrogressive policy, which re-
duces all civilized Russia to the condi-
lion Of conquered country, is awaited
with the deepest interest in other por-
tons Of Europe. That it may drive the
Nihilists into open Instruction seems
to be considered among. the probabili-
ties; while the conviction is general
and entirely reasonable that, if the Gear
succeeds for the moment in crushing
out all open manifestations of public
dissatisfaction with Cossack rule, the
propagation Of revolutionary ideas will
be accelerated, and the day of the ute,
downfall of despotism in Russia be
fastened.

Hard Fare for English Soldiers.

The following is an extract from let
ter from a soldier in the Seventeenth
Lancers, now on his way to Natal. If
the details respecting food are correct
some one is to blame: "The living on
board here is most execrable. We are
all more or less used up by not being
able-with very few exceptions eat
the vile food provided for us by Govern
ment. We are not on ships rations
The sailors even say that it lis disgraceful.
Three days a week we have biscuit, stale
and with powerful smell of mackintosh
proof have not seen whole
biscuit since we have been on board,
only chips and dust-a lump of salt
pork, and about three ounces of bread
per man. The other three days we have
salt beef, with, very occasionally, pota-
toes. The officers live luxuriously-
fowl or all kinds alive on board for their
use, and live mutton" This is the way
the men are treated who haveto uphold
England's honor.

0oPuOACans ln caucus UNANIMOUSLY Decide
to Stand BY Their Co1ors.
WASHINGTON, April 49,
A joint Republican caucus was held last even
ing for the purpose of selecting the Republican
Congressional Committee, and, after this bust
ness was disposed of, the House caucus re-
manned in session, and the Sena-
tors were invited to sit with them.
Senator Edmunds made a brief speech
in which he expressed the hope that the Repub-
icans of the House were as united in their pur-
pose to resist the pending legislation which the
Democrats were attempting to force upon the
country as the Republicans in the Senate were
found to be. He stated that. upon rising vote
there, every Republican Senator being present,
it was found that all were in favor of resisting
the Democratic plan to the last. rising vote
was then taken in the House, which also ap-
peared to be unanimous. sf -
There was some discussion in regard to the
matter of general legislation, and it was decided
that no further resistance should be roade to
the Introduction of general business, but that
they would continue to oppose the undertaking
of general legislation. t....
They decided to quietly oppose the consider
alton Of all legislation beyond the Appropria-
session. The recommendation was unani-
mously adopted.
The following Congressional Campaign Com
nlittee was announced: Maine, Representa-
tive Lindsey; New Hampshire Senator Rol-
Inns: Vermont, Representative Tyler; Massa-
chusetts, Representative Grape; Rhode Island,
Senator Burnside; Connecticut, Representative
Wait; New York, Representative His

The suppression by the French Of
the recent revolt in New Caledonia was
attended by terrible hardships and suf-
fering on the part of the rebellious saw
ages. Many Of the insurgents are said
to have been driven by famine to eat
their own children, and the native allies
of the French cut off the noses of all
the prisoners they captured. The in
surrection has been completely sub

The night after the attempt on Gen.
Drenteln's life in st. Petersburg no less
than forty-fve persons, male and female,
wete arrested, and many of them being
of such high rank that special provision
was made for their detention instead of
sending them to the common prisons.
Officers of the guard, court chamber
lains, and councillors were among the
number. Two unmarried daughters of
one of the most prominent members of
the present Ministry have been sub
jected to domiciliary arrest. AS it can
not be supposed that the police are try
ing to prove their activity by these
wholesale arrests, it is natural to con-
clude that there is something more seri-
GUS in the wind than purely Socialistic
conspiracy.

WHO CONQUERED AT SHILOH?
from the Des Moines Register


Seventeen years ago, to-day and to-
morrow, on the 9th and 7th of April,
1862-on Sunday and Monday, the an
niversaries having come this year for
the first time since the war on the same
days of the week as then the battle of
Shiloh was fought, ending in it's first
days result in the capture by the rebel
army of several thousand Union SOL
diers. So seventeen years ago tonight
thousands of Iowa men who had gone
into the army to help save the Union,
after fighting against fate and heavy
odds all day, and seeing thousands of
their comrades killed, were at last COM
PEELED to succumb, and were captured
by the Confederates, and by some of
the same unhanged traitors leading
the victor party in Congress. The sur
render was made according to the arti-
cles OF war, but no sooner had the Con-
federates obtained possession of the
Union prisoners than they commenced
to infiict upon them such tortures as
hell itself does not know, and that bar
barians themselves will not infict. We
speak from knowledge. For the writer
of this was one of the men taken pris-
oner seventeen years ago tonight, and
one OF the men who for many months,
gin the hospitable and sunny South .
among the chivairous and generous
Southern people," were tortured and
outraged with all of that exquisite
fendishness and hellish malignity that
the Confederates now controlling the
Democratic party in Congress alone
among civilized people know how to in
fict. The amusement Of these devils,
who are now in control in Congress and
the masters of the Democratic party
began at once-and within the bounda-
ries of starvation, torture, fendishness
and incarnate cruelty, the amusement
was kept up SO long as any of the Union
men captured lived to endure it.

extensive aud cultivated school of
diplomacy. On his accession to the title
of Lord Lytton the present English Pre-
mier, who had been close literary and
personal friend of his fathers, appointed
him to the Vice Royalty of India, where
he has achieved what the English people
are pleased to consider creditable dis
tinction in carrying out the brilliant ORR
entail programme that Lord Beaconsfeld
had planned in that semi-barbarous de-
tendency of the British Empire. Lord
Lytton is sagacious and thoroughly in
formed statesman, but the bent of his
mind is essentially poetic and literary,
and thousands of those who have enjoyed
his writings and those of his brilliant
father will feel almost reconciled to the
happily frustrated attempt upon his life
if it shall induce him to retire from the
rerilous post of Viceroy over nation
essentially savage, and where the dagger
and the bullet can always find a fanatic
willing to use them, and return to Eng
land and the fields of literary industry
he is so well fitted to adorn.
