The True Story.

We believe the full facts connected with
the drowning of Frank Joslyn. in Rock
river last November, and whose body was
found only the other day, near Cleveland
about seven miles from where he went
down, have never been published. A little
justice to the living as we'll as honor to the
dead warrants their publication at this time,
1t appears that Joslyn and Samuel De-
vinney,the present supervisor from Hamp
ton, who were warm personal friends, start
ed out hunting. Before entering the boat
Devinney questioned its safety, when JosIyn
remarked that it was all right, that he had
crossed when the wind blew much harder
and the river was great deal rougher,
and that he could take them across safely.
They entered the boat, and when twenty
or thirty rods out, the wind and waves up
set it, In the attempt to right the boat
and save their guns they were somewhat
chilled and obliged to keep themselves in
the water. Joslyn was encumbered with
long rubber boots which, of course, filled
with water, and in swimming for the shore
with the boat, the wiad continually dashed
the waves in his face. At three diferent
times Mr.. Qeyinney. Who was not thus en-
numbered. and who had freed himself
from gun aud all superfuous weight, swung
the boat around so as to protect Joslyn's
face from the waves. Seeing that be was
becoming frightened and exhausted he told
him to hold on to the boat, and, from
where he was, he could easily push il
ashore, that to face the waves would surely
drown him. Joslyn finally said he guessed
be could reach the shore without the boat
and started to accomplish it, with re
suit already known. When Deviuney
reached the shore he was SO chilled that BIZ
could scarcely crawl up the bank.

The blow came swift, the struggle quickly ended,
The night-wind only, heard his last farewell;
But men will mark the spot where Crime and Duty
blended
And tell their children-"Here Hero FELL
humble man he was, not known on fields of fame
and glory;
His name was scarcely heard beyond his lowly
home;
His deeds do not appear in art nor story,
And yet, for our lives, he gave his own.
A humble battle-ground it was, not known on his
tory's pages;
The iron pen of Fame, his very name may cen for
get;
Yet here was fought the old, old fight OF Ages,
When Law and Right, and Wrong and Might, in
deadly conflict met.
No shaft may mark the spot on which he slumbers,
To tell the record of his self-denying zeal;
No minstrel sing his praise in flowing numbers, -
Eternity at last, his greatness shall reveal.

AT the Greenback convention in Jack
son on the Odd inst. a platform was
adopted demanding that the greenback
dollar be made a legal tender for all
debts by the Government: the imnedl>
ate payment of all outstanding bonds
according to the terms of the original
law authorizing the issue of bonds and
then no more bonds forever; the free
and unrestricted coinage of silver; the
repeal of the National banking system
and the immediate and unconditional
repeal of the resumption; that prison
convict labor shall never come in COM
petition with free labor by the contract
system under any name, and we are op'
posed the leasing of the State peniten-
tiary; low salaries and no perquisites
for public officers, a liberal system of
education; repeal of the present iniqult-
Gus registration law" .e.
Most of the above planks are en-
dorsed by the Democratic party of this
State, but there is no use to make them
the basis for a new party. The Demo
cratic party has the power and will
adopt all the reforms necessary.
