Maj. Thornburgh.

Mai. T. T. Thornburgh, whose tragic
death at the hands of the Ute Indians
is announced in the kilograms Of to-
day, was a native of East Tennessee.
He enlisted in the volunteer service
during the early part of the late civil
war, and soon rose to the rank OF Cap
tain and Adjutant General, serving on
the staff of Brig. Gen. Spear, who COM
manded brigade of Tennessee volun-
teers. In 1863 Capt. Thornburgh, who
cadet at the West Point Military
Academy, where in due course of time
he graduated in the Artillery Depart
ment. He was assigned to duty, sue
cessively, in Alaska, Washington Ter
ritory, and California; and was after
ward transferred to the Atlantic Coast.
He was appointed Paymaster with rank
of Major, and, after remaining some
time in the pay department, he tired of
the monotony and inactivity in this
branch of the service, and, wishing for
out of-door life, he sought and effected
a transfer with Maj. Fl. G.. Thomas, of
the 4th Infantry, this being the first
case of the kind on record. By this
change Maj. Thornburgh stepped above
several ranking Captains. This transfer
occurred early in 1878.
During the Cheyenne outbreak of
last year Maj. Thornburgh was in COM
mand of the troops sent ont to inter-
cept the Indians on the line of the
Union Pacific Railway. His command
was almost entirely composed of re-
cruits and infantry who were unused
to horses, while the Cheyennes we're
splendid horsemen, finely mounted,
and acquainted with the country.
While he failed of success, he did good
and faithful services. He did some of
the hardest work on record, travelling
the first day between sixty and seventy
miles, and pressing the Indians so
closely that they abandoned nearly all
their plunder.
Major Thornburgh was one of the
best rifle shots and horsemen in the
United States Army. 1t is said by his
friends that, with practice, he could have
equaled Carver in rifle shooting. He was
a man of splendid physique, with no.
BILE, manly appearance, which I'M
pressed every one. He was ambitious,
brave and gallant officer, and a genial,
hearty and wholesouled gentleman,
the very embodiment of jovial nature-a
man who always made friends wherever
he went, and rarely, if ever, made an
enemy. In Omaha, where he resided
for some time, he was we'll known, and
he has host of friends here who re-
gret his untimely death. He was
brother of ex-Congressman Thorn
burgh, of Tennessee, who was one of
the most prominent members of the
last House of Representatives.
Maj. Thornburgh's military career
was an active one, and his record was
one of which he might we'll be proud.
He leaves wife and two children, who
are now at Fort Fred. Steele. Maj. D.
R. Clark, paymaster in this depart
ment, is father of Mrs. Thornburgh,
and he left Omaha to-day for Fort
Steele. He will endeavor to recover
the body of his dead son-in-law.-Chi-

How TO EAT AN OYsTER.-To tickle
an oyster with your teeth, says Barry
Gray, is one thing; to chew it is another
worse far than cutting it with
knife. What degradation to the
oyster What an insult to civilization!
and yet there are wretches who do it.
There be fellows, too, who salt, pepper,
vinegar and horse-radish-they ought
to be horse-whipped for SO doing-an
oyster previous to eating it, and there
by partly mummyize it as the old Egyp-
tians did their dead. No an oyster
needs no condiment; gild your refined
gold and paint your lily white, if you
please; veneer diamonds, smother your
Strawberries with cream, season your
champignons with Worcestershire sauce
and add chicory to your coffee, if you
will; but if you have the instincts of a
gentleman destroy not the favor of
your oyster with the contents of the
castor.

Paper Wheels on Pullman Cars.

In the United States Circuit Court,
before Judges McKennan and Butler.
the trial of the case Of George w.
Halloway and wife against the Pullman
Palace Car Company was resumed.
The plaintiffs sought to recover dam
ages for the death of their son, caused
by an accident on one of the Pullman
cars, on the night of November l, 1876,
on the Niagara express train. The ac-
cident was caused by the breaking of
one of the wheels under the forward
truck of the palace Car -" Woodbine."
several persons being killed ana many
wounded. The broken wheel, as we'll
as all the wheels of the palace car on
that train, was made of paper, and the
plaintiffs contended that the wheels
made of that material were unfit for
use and not as good as frst-class chilled
iron wheels. and that the use of such
paper wheels was such gross negligence
on the part of the Pullman Palace Car
Company as made the latter liable for
damages. The plaintiffs called large
number of engineers and experts, who
testified that, in their opinion, paper
wheels were not fit for use, anu that it
was unsafe to place them under the
company's cars, and that only wheels
solidly cast were safe. Upon the cross
examination of these experts, however,
by P. X. Ransford and Christian
Kueass, Esq, for the Pullman Palace
Car Company, it turned out that the
experts either knew nothing Of the con-
struction, manufacture or qualities of
the paper wheels, or else were inter-
ested in the manufacture and use of
iron wheels, which latter class, it is
alleged, are being rapidly replaced by
paper wheels. Numerous models Of
the paper wheels were exhibited to the
jury by Messrs. Kneass and Ransford,
and they contended that they we're not
only more safe and durable than the
best iron wheels, but were far more ex-
pensive, and one of them would last as
long as ten of the other kind. 1t was
sought to be established that iron
wheels were liable to break at any mo-
ment, were subject to contraction and
expansion by the action of cold and
heat, and were not strong enough for
the heavy Pullman cars, but that the
paper wheels were not liable to be af
fected by either heat or cold, were
capable of sustaining any weight, sup
ported the cars without jarring, and
were practically indestructible. 1t was
also shown that the North Pennsylvania
Railroad Company had agreed to keep
the cars in good order and repair.
The case excited great deal of in
terest among members of the bar, rail-
road men and mechanical engineers, on
account of the important and novel
questions involved. It is stated that a
verdict which would condemn the
wheels would involve a loss of over
81 900, 900 to the Pullman Company
alone.
After the plaintiffs had closed their
evidence, Messrs. Kneass and Ransford
moved for judgment of non-suit, on
the ground that the plaintiffs had failed
to make out their case, and that their
testimony did not show any liability
whatever on the part of the Pullman
Company.
After argument by the counsel, the
Court granted the non-suit, sustaining
the Pullman Company's view of the
case.-Philadelphia Record

The End of the Romance.
BY EBEN E. RExFoRD.

Their romance began in the twilight,
Down by the deep, sad sea.
He vowed it should last forever,
Aud " Forever echoed she.
They kissed at the end of the season;
And tore themselves apart,
Swearing to live for each other,
Or die of broken heart.
Years after-I know not how many
These faithful lovers met,
And that meeting-oh, tie my Mabel,
Your foolish eyes are wet.
He came to a ball with his daughter,
And it happened that she was there
Whom he vowed he would love for ever,
With her daughters, plump and fair.
But the years had wrought such changes
That he did not recognize
In the fat, red lady before him,
The girl with tho "angel eyes,"
And she never dreamed that this person,
Portly and bald, could be
The romantic young man of that summer,
Down by the deep, sad sea.
They gave them grave in production;
She repeated the name he bore.
at really sounds quite familiar
Have we ever met before?'
No, he thought not then daughter,
Who looked as her mother did, when
In that summer of old be wooed her,
Came up, and he understood then.
"Why, yes. am certain l met you
Long ago, by the sea'-with grin;
Before you wore eyeglasses, madam,
Or had such very fat chin
Then she lau ,hed till she shook like jelly.
"Dear me, can it possibly be?
Of the fairy the 'sylph you remember
Do you see any traces in me?"
Then they laughed as they thought of the old
time,
Down by the deep, sad sea,
Till both Of them cried, and their daughters
Were shocked, as was proper to be.
Nov what do yon think of it, Mabel?'
She answered never a word:
But saw she didn't believe me-
She thought it too absurd.

Ascent of the ScherrnOrn.

The death of Mr.. Mosely while de-
scending the Matterhorn has awakened
an interest in Alpine accident and ad-
venture which the newspaper CORE
spondents are doing their best to crafty.
One of the most remarkable of the re-
Gently told stories comes from q CORE
spondent of the Bund of Geneva: DIR.
Gampert, of Ottenbach, with the guide
Vincenz Bissig and Herr Gisler, of the
Klausen Inn, had made the ascent of
the Scherrhorns. As they were return
ing, Gisler, who was acting as porter
and had on his back load weighing
seventy pounds, made false step and
slipped. He thereupon, against the
desire of his companions, united the
rope by which they we're attached. say
ing he might slip again, and he was de-
termined to endanger no other life than
his own. They were then on a steep
ice slope. Shortly afterward Gisler
did slip again, and, losing his footing,
shot with frightful velocity in the di
rection of crevasse forty feet deep and
six feet wide. As he neared the brink,
however, Gisler, who is man of pow
erful frame and great presence of mind,
contrived to spring to his feet, and,
clearing the crevasse at a bound, alight
ed unhurt on the other side, where, the
slope being less steep, he was able to
keep his footing. He joined the others
lower down the mountain, and all ar
rived safely in the evening at the klausen
Inn.

Love COnquers.

Louisa, what is the matter? You

wrong between you and Hal? He has

weeks, as live! What does it mean 2"
The girl addressed did look down
hearted and disconsolate, as Cecil Dean
had said. She raised a pair of dark,
troubled eyes to the speakers face as
she said,-
Yes, something is wrong, but if I
tell you what shall only be rewarded

laughed, a nervous little laugh that
told of mind i'll at ease.
'You know, Lu, that I only lecture
you for your good. hope this trouble
will soon be over, out if you do not
wish to confide in me, don't mind .
and Cecil moved toward the door.
"Wait, Cecil suppose you will
know some time, and 1t might as we'll
be now, though think you will blame
me-"
"That is as good as acknowledging
yourself in the wrong but I'll listen
toyour story"
"You remember that two weeks ago

How SHE DECIDED Ir.-A young lady
in Covington, KY, had SO many suitors
for her hand that to put stop to fur
ther annoyance she invited fifty of her
friends and relatives, and all her lovers
to call in the evening at her residence,
under the pretence of meeting charm
ing lady from Washington. The friends
nearly all came, and the lovers turned
out to man. Then selecting one of the
latter, an insurance agent, she stood up
before the minister who was present with
the overjoyed suitor, and was married.
The CONSERVATION that seized the re-
naming beaux may be imagined. but
cannot be described.
"Will you settle that old account of
yours this morning?" said a colonist.
=" No, sir; you are mistaken in the man ;
I ana not one of the old settlers"
