Il Card from G. anderson.

To the Editor of the Globe.
A friend called my attention to a SANDER
ous article in your paper which does me
great injustice. You say that "by personal
solicitation foisted myself OH the winning
ticket, and thus secured the nomination at
the primary"
was held on Tuesday evening, Mr.. Breen had
only about five majority, including six or
eight votes cast by myself and personal
friends, and had 1 SO che sen, those votes
would have been cast for Otis, thus giving
two-thirds of all the votes cast there, not
withstanding the fact that my opponent, Mr..
Curtice, was well-known man. Then the
following night, at the primary, l was
fairly nominated by my friends over
Curtice again, and at the same time
had to contend with a seemingly straight
ticket gotten up purposely to beat me, as
Oscar Stephenson's name was on for school
inspector, which proves conclusively that |
was we'll known to those who voted and
worked for me. In regard to those lying,
slanderous stories of immortality which you
say have been developed, but which you
do not vouch for, brand them as lies, and
/ if those parties who are circulating them so
| industriously will make affidavits thereto
| will then be able to answer them fully. As
| for the inspectorship, care very little about
it, and if Mr. Otis, whose name is mentioned
as candidate by the Republicans, should be
nominated I will probably support him,
There is no salary attached to the Office, and
my motive in accepting the nomination was
due solely to the interest have always taken
in our schools.
| am, sir, respectfully, G. ANDERSON.

"OFF HER HEAD."

There are indications of social revolu-
ton in England quite as threatening to the
stability and insulation Of time-honored
caste and it's prerogatives, as Nihilism, So
cialism or Communism. 1t is no other men
ace than a graft of that dread triad of the
French. terror equality. The obstinate and
conservative Briton with all the traditions of
his favored land ratified from immemorial
must be disedifed if not shocked at seeing a
Duchess in court of justice to answer to
the complaint of a servant. Jane Jones
against Her Grace Constance, Gertrude
Grosvenor, Duchess of Westminster, Coun-
Tess Grosvenor, Viscountess Belgrave,
and Baroness Grosvenor of Eaton!
Now this august and many
titled lady had not only asserted that Jones
was "off her head,'' but she wrote it down
for the benefit of Mrs. Arthur Chapman,
who had secured the services of the ques
tionable Jones. Her grace added that
| the dismissed maid twas not comfortable
kind of person to have in the house, This
candor was the cause of the mischief, and
| brought the suit for damages against the
| libelous writer of the note.
! Another touch of frankness in the testi
mony of the duchess has amused the Lon.
don people very much. ~ would not recon-
mend Jones to my relatives said her grace
on the stand, ''but I would to others:
should be very sorry for the other people
but they we're not my relatives Now, here
is curious mixture of family ia
voritism, and of dubious sym
pathy with outsiders among tn,

Logan's arrest for treason, and only re-
Trained from serving it in order to allow
Logan to 60 to Washington and make a
compromise, through which he became a
leader in the union army. Had he known
this fact, which Marshal Phillips can no
doubt verify, he might have placed the
bloviant Illinoisian in very uncomfortable
predicament. He based his accusations on
current rumor, however, and some of them
were slightly removed from the truth, and
as consequence he gave Logan the oppor-
tunity to deny their truth, which ought to
suggest to Lowe the Importance of being
sure of his facts before making his state
ments.
Not content with making haphazard
charges, however, Mr.. Lowe proceeded
to make himself further ridiculous
by sending a challenge to the
swarth Senator from Illinois
and when no notice was taken Of that very
foolish document, posted him as tone who
knows how to insult but not how to satisfy
gentleman" We have no doubt whatever
of the Justice of loves conclusion as to Lo-
gan yet we are forced to the conclusion that
Lowe has shown himself to be one who
knows how to roar like lion but not how to
disguise his prodigious ears. In the contro-
versy he has come out second best, for he
who, in these days and in this country, talks
| of fighting a duel writes himself down an ass.

GEN. ALFRED SULLY.

Barracks-Brief Glance at His Militia

Announcement of His Death at Vancouver
Barracks-Brief Glance at His Military
Record.
PORTLAND, Oregon, April 28.-General Alfred
Sully, U. 8. A., died at Vancouver barracks
yesterday.
Major General Alfred Sully, colonel of the
Twenty-frst regiment of infantry, U. s. A..
was native of Pennsylvania, and graduate of
the military academy at West Point. He en-
tered the army July 1tt, 1S41-participating in
the Florida war. For gallant services in the
siege of Vera Cruz he was made first lieutenant
March IL, l847, and received his captaincy Feb.
%, 1852 March 4, 1862, he was issloned
colonel of the First Minnesota volunteers, its
third colonel; March Is, 1862, major by brevit;
June l, 1862, lieutenant colonel by brevet;
October l, 1862, brigadier general of volunteers;
April 80, 1866, major general of volunteers;
July 28, 1866, lieutenant colonel of Third in
fantry; December 10, 1873. colonel of the
Twenty.first infantry He commanded a
brigade in the Peninsular campaign, was en-
gagged at South Mountain, Antietam, Fred
ricksburgh and Charlottesville, after
which he was selected to Conduct the
| campaign against tie Indians of Dakota, in
which service he was particularly successful, in
recognition of which, and especially for his gal
| antry at the battle of White Stone Hill, he was,
March 13, 1866, made brivet brigadier gene

with Duchess. The common mind is
bothered in trying to settle the question.
There was culpable reticence regarding the
Jones-ian traits and an amiable considera-
ton of family interests; there was an aris-
tocratic indifference to the exasperating
ordeal of genteel commoners in finding out
the luckless Jones for themselves, and there
was the charitable design not ''to spoil her
chance of getting place. Whether to
pity Jones as the victim of "high-toned''
persecution-nay, conspiracy-or to l1n-
peach the Duchess with the most plebian
dealing, aggravated by repre-
hensible inclination to guard tho in
terests of those abundantly able to
take care of themselves, that's the quandary.
The middle ground of regeneration, IN
turning the flighty and uncomfortable Jones
into the homes of old England, armed with
such potent credentials, is distressing, but
the self justification is the rub. 81 thought
it perfectly right to give her the character
did, although thought her out of her
mind,' and the jury falling in with the same
spirit of exoneration, and possibly with
similar absence of mind, declared that "from
first to last her grace had never said any
thing about this young woman but what she
honestly believed to be true" Conservative
Britons could do no more than that, although
they might have had qualm or two about
the quality Of the truth which was equal to
so many emergencies.
The average American reader will observe
striking dissimilarity between the late
Artemus Ward and her grace the Duchess o.
Westminster. He was willing to sacrifice
his wife's relations in the service of hi
country, but she was dcsirous to spare he1
family the service of Jane Jones, ''who wa
off her head,' and perfectly willing, even t
written endorsement, to foist her upol
s'strangers to find out for themselves wheth
er there was anything the matter"

LOWE .iND LOGAN.

Lowe, the poor Alabamian, whose un-
tutored mind saw mortal insult in John
A. Logan's bloyiating denial of we'll -estab-
lished historical fact, has succeeded admnlir
ably in making an ass of himself, and we are
in doubt as to whether he or his adversary
most deserves hagellaticn. Logan, it must
be admitted, displayed far more sense than
he has had credit for possessing in leaving
Lowe to do all the quarreling himself.
Usually he likes to take a hand in such mat
ters, but he may have learned by experience
that it doesn't pay, as he usually gets the
worst of such encounters. In the present
instance Mr.. Lowe had alleged what every
body knows, that at the outbreak of the war
Logan engaged in recruiting in southern
Illinois for the Confederate army, and had
sent several hundred volunteers across the
border into Dixie. He was probably not
aware of the fact that about that time the
limited States marshal at Springfield re-
ceiyed warrant from Mr., Lincoln TO,

Total depth of boring from surface. 16O feet
s'The supply is abundant and altitude for
distribution sufficient, but, unfortunately, it
is utterly unfit for any purpose likely to be
required. DR.. H. o. Perley, U. s. A., sur
geon at Fort Pembina, found it, on exami-
nation, to be highly charged with sodium,
magnesium and calcium-with the possibil-
ity of other minerals in smaller quantities.;

WHILE the subject Of establishing ma

It has not yet been shown that yellow fever
can be prevented by even the strictest quar-
antine. Indeed, the best medical men in the
country are of opinion that the germs of the
disease exist wherever it prevails, both atmos-
pheric and climatic conditions contributing
to its growth and spread. The origin of the
epidemic, and how it is propagated, ought tc
be ascertained before any great expenditure
of money on mere experiments is under
taken.

A Novel Tournament.

Jim Hendricks will be remembered by a
good many residents. The following s'good
un'' we clip from the New York I1t1t, Field
md Farm:
1t is related of Jim Hendricks, as a fact, that
he had in his possession a belt worn by him at
St. Paul, Mimi, in genuine competition, to
find out the most direct descendant of Ananias
of old. The vouchers for this statement are
Harry McCamley, of the st. Stephens hotel,
this city, and Frank Hodgeboom, of the j. M.
Brunswick & Bake Co. 1t is now proposed to
make up pool Of $l00, by bIcCamley, Hodge
boom and Wood (Joseph, not Ansel), and chal-
lenge any three men west of the Niagara river.
The triplets say their opponents will probably
be Nose Bensinger, Frank Parker and Jim Hen
bricks, who are supposed to be the strongest
truth stretchers that exist in that latitude.
Hendricks should be very strong! gentleman

certain party round of drinks that could
take him to saloon where the proprietor would
tell lie before he could get drink" He &C
cepted the wager, and we visited Hendricks.
Upon entering my friend asked for some seltzel
water. 'Sorry! very sorry!' said Hendricks

fourteen dozen this morning. Generally take

ago about certain case of the kindness of
the Grants towards the friends of their enc
mics. Piatt mad nephew who was placed
in some civil bureau after the war, where
there was good deal of money to be dis
bursed; he was poorly fitted for that kind of
work, and had grown somewhat irregular in
his habits. He was finally brought to mill
tary trial for defalcation, convicted, and given
a severe sentence. Although he was par
doned, he was virtually ruined unless he
could be reinstated in the army, and his
friends oil claimed that he had done no
wrong. One day his wife, in despair, pene-
trated into the domestic portion of the white
house and got access to Mrs. Grant, Mrs.
Casey, Mrs. Dent, and other representatives
of the family. They never saw her before.
She undertook to tell her story, and broke
down in tears. The women, with instant
sympathies, although knowing that her hus-
band.was Piatl's nephew, and Piatt terrible
prosecutor of Grant, went to work at once
with all the vigor of the female character,
and had the man reinstated. Piatt says he
is in favor of the female side of the Grants,
