Engineer Melville returns to his country
after the vicssitudcS of the Jeannettes ILL.,
fated voyage, the perilous retreat across the
ice to the Lena and the arduOuS quest for his
commander and his companions in the Ice
bound delta. He has been faithful to duty
under circumstances which tried his soul TO
the uttermost. He may have made mistakes,
although We have never been able to perceive
them but he has shown the highest qualities
of practical seamanship, physical endurance,
sustained courage and indomtable will. lie
made a most intelligent and successful effort
to save the lives of the men intruSted to ms
care, and when the tidings reached him OF
the healtrendng sutleTingS of his companions
in the captains boat he did what he could to
rescue them. He well deserves hero's well
come at the hands of his comrades III the
service and the citizens of New York.

The confusion in the affairs of Long Island

which has settled on the wretched CITY WIS

Gals who have made the very name OF the place

The international rife match Will begin to-
dav Mt Crcedmoor, and though the contest
does not now seem likely to prove very close
and exciting one the Il oughts of great many
people on both sides of the Atlantic Will

Whether, as now appears almost certain
the victory is to 90 to the British marksmen
or the Americans are to confound all tho
prophets many good results ought to follow
the match. Conspicuous among these shoulu

Is THIS A SHEEP COUNTRYG

The question has been dis
cussed for years whether or not
Barbour county was we'll adapted
to sheep raising. There certainly
could be found.no better country
under the sun for the raising of
cattle and horses, but it has been
claimed by many that the sheep
industry would yet capture this
country, for the reason that it re-
CURED so much less capital to en-
gage in the business, the returns
are so much quicker, and that the
country would soon be dotted
with small herds of sheep, and
the cattle men compelled TO move
westward. How have these pre-
dictions been verifed9 Nearly
every man, of our acquaintance
who disposed of his cattle and
purchased sheep, has become dis
gusted with the business, and
have either sold out or would do
so at once, provided he did not
have to sacrifice too much. And
another thing, if this section of
the country should be captured
by the sheep men, in ten years
from now Medicine Lodge would
be but little larger than it is at
the present time, simply because
it requires but one or two men to
take charge of a flock of sheep,
and their purchase of provisions
etc,would amount to but little dur
ing the year. On the other hand,
those engaged in the cattle bust
ness require many men, and these
have to be fed and clothed,-
therefore our merchants and bus
mess men are benefited thereby,
and the town grows and prospers.
Some might say we haye a sell
fish motive in reserving this
country for cattle and horse rails
ing; but notso. 1t is our candid
opinion, from what we can learn,
that but few, if any who are en-
gagged in the business, really like
it. There is money to be made
out of sheep, but 1t requires the
closest attention and unremitting
toll to get it.

JOHN ID. DEFREES.
An Able and Honest Man.

Assistant Secretary New, of the Treasury de-
partment, who was an intimate personal friend
Of Mr.. Defrees for thirty years, says: "Mr. De-
frees was a man Of the purest character and Of
the highest personal and moral courage. He
was the ablest political manager ever knew,
and for years he was the magnate Of the wing
party in Indiana, which owed much Of its sue
cess to him. He was the intimate friend and
adviser not only Of Caleb B. Smith, Joseph
White and other wing leaders in Indiana. but
of Clay, Webster and other national leaders Of
the party After the dissolution OF the whig
party in Indiana, Mr.. Defrees as proprietor Of

organized and built up the peoples party;
which maintained itself until. through the exer-
lions Of himself and Others the republican party
was organized in the state. In 1872 Mr.. De-
frees joined the liberal movement and sup
ported Mr.. Greeley. think this was due to
two causes In the first place he had warm
personal affection for Mr.. Greeley, and regarded
him in the light of patron saint of the repub-
lican party; and in the second place he was very
bitterly hostile to General Grant. But nobody
could ever doubt the sincerity Of his couvic-
lions or fail to respect, although they might not
agree with him"

with dismissal come insult and injury, ]. for
one, am not inclined to be silent. don't know
now many cOmpOstOrS of the document and piece

Mr. Taylor, or whether they are unskilled

OF the thirteen printers of the specifca-

Briggs, one OF your tOwnsmen, is a superior
workman, either as typo or proof reader, which
latter he was when dismissed. Tommy Simp-

out the office, not Onlyas intelligent and correct
compositors, but as nine of the fastest in the

the thirteen are perfectly sober and remarkably
attentive men. SO you see how unjust, not to
say utterly untruthful, is Mr. Taylor's assertion
In the morning papers. Mr.. Taylor knew or
had opportunity of knowing before
these discharges were made that the gen.
tlemen selected were altogether as competent
for the places they filled as any that could be
secured In the country, and in truth it Is the
boast of Foreman Brian that Schwrar was I'M
tremendously kicked out for having smade too
much money" This is not the testimony merely
of myself: but of every one, including, believe,
| that of the gentleman who has charge Of the

plOyed. Mr.. Cadet Taylor may be q very excel

| nothing whatever about it, wilfullly misrepre-
sents facts In order to patch up straight path
out OF seemingly very crooked transaction.
