A Fsdsral Scouts Aaysnturs.

A writer for the Detroit Free Press
gives some interesting "reminiscences
Of Castle Thunder, at Richmond, es-
tablished by the Confederate govern
ment as place Of detention for Con-
federate deserters, suspected persons,
and the captured attaches of the Union
army. One Of the occupants of the
Castle in the winter of lS64-5, says
the writer, was Federal named Jas.
Hancock, claiming to be scout at
tached to Grants army. He was cap
tured under circumstances which
seemed to prove him q spy, and while
waiting for his case to be Investigated
he was sent to Castle Thunder. Han
cock was a jolly, rolhcking fellow,
having wonderful facial expression,
and great powers of mimicry. One
evening. while singing song for the
amusement Of his felIow-prisoners he
suddenly stopped, threw up his hands,
staggered, and then fell like bag Of
sand to the foor. There was great
confusion at tonce, and a. some of the
men inspected the body and pro-
nounced it without life the guards
were notified of what had occurred.
The post surgeon was called in to say
whether it was q faint or q case Of
sudden death. He had just come in
from a long. cold ride, and his exam
ination was hasty one.
Gsnaol a.. N Iao- .nsl 80 L. III .n
he rose up, and in the course of twen-
ty minutes the body was deposited in
q wagon and started for the hospital,
to be there laid in cheap coffin and
forwarded to the burying-place. When
the driver reached the end of his
journey he was gonel There was no
tail-board to his vehicle, and think
ing he might have jolted the body
out on the way, he drove back and
made inquiry of several persons if
they had seen a lost corpse anywhere.
Hancock's sudden death" was q
part Of his plan to escape. While be
had great nerve and an iron will, he
could not have passed the surgeon
under favorable circumstances. On
the way to the hospital he dropped
out Of the wagon and joined the pc
destians on the walk. When the driv-
er returned to the castle and told his
story. detail of men was at once sent
out to capture the tricky prisoner. and
the alarm was given all over Rich
mond. To leave the city was to be
! picked up by a patrol; to remain was
to be hunted down.
Hancock had money sewed in the
lining Of his vest. and he walked
straight to the best hotel, registered
himself as from Georgia. and put in q
good nights sleep. In the morning
he procured change Of clothing and
sauntered around with the greatest
uncOncern, carrying the idea to some
that he was in Richmond on q gov
eminent contract, and to others thai
he was in the secret service of the
Confederacy.
Shortly after dinner he VAS arrest

put hands On him than the prisonel

men were bewildersd, and Hancock
was feeling "for letters 70 prove hi
identity" when the hotsl clerk hap
pened to pass and at once secured hi
liberty.

TEACHERS MEETING.

About twenty of the teachers of
Manitowoc and Two Rivers met at the
First Ward School House in Manitowoc,
Saturday, Oct. 81. The President, Mr..
Young, in few well-chosen words stated
our objects, our aim, our present position
and our future outlook.
Miss Maggie read an excellent paper
on the French Revolution. in which she
well stated the causes and the effects of
that mighty revolution. The paper call
ed forth considerable discussion; in fact,
it was quite noticeable that there was
freer and more enthusiastic discussion
on all the topics brought before the
meeting than is common.
Although Miss Richardson has not
taught Grammar she has ideas as to
how it should be taught. In teaching
Conjugation of Verbs much preliminary
work must be done. The old method,
l love, you love, he loves etc. is senseless,-
mere jargon. Pupils must be able to
distinguish between the different kinds
of verbs-then the words and the lenses
form of the tenses-how each is COM
posed. The discussion of this paper
turned on the difference between the
subjunctive mood and a conditional
form of the indicative.
Miss Jennie Lueps presented paper
On Insects. The study of Insects de-
serves a place among our studies, and
is a subject veil adapted for object les
sons. The writer then gave plan for
pursuing the subject, which, if followed
could hardly fail to interest pupils.
There was but little discussion on this
topic as the dinner-hour was near.
At half-past one we came ''from re-
freshment to labor" One of our num-
Der, who was to take part, being absent,
MIR. Thomas read paper entitled ''In
what are our Schools Anticipated? We
often hear the cry "Where are the schools
I left" Are our schools behind the
times, or are we doing less than we can?
The writer spoke of some of the changes
and of others that might be made; of
some of the evils, and suggested remedies
for them. Teachers have become, per-
haps too indulgent, and pupils of this age
denounce the teacher too freely. He
respects whom he obeys, and disrespects
whom he should obey. The discussion
of this topic was lengthy and many little
pleasantries were INDUCED in, but when
one remarked that in looking around
and comparing those present to-day with
those who never attend teachers meeting,
he preferred the antiquatod ones the
discussion was closed.
The topic assigned Supt. Maggie was,
at his request, held over until the next
meeting of the local association.
The meeting then adjourned subject
to the call of the committee.

TO the republican party. Hold on. The

IT seems to be the custom for Irish
landlords and land league leaders to pre-
sent their respective cases to the Ameri-
can people through the American press.
Some time ago Justin Mccarthy in a
series of admirable letters to The N. Y.
Tribune pleaded the cause of the Irish
tenants before the people of the United
States, and they could not have an ADLER
advocate. Even the paper which he
used as a medium of communication ex-
hausted its ingenuity in vain to find a
flaw in McOarthy's presentation.
The Irish landlord Arthur Marlborough
Kavanagh, one of the most bitter haters
of the poorer class of the Irish people,
gives his attention to the struggle be-
tween tenants and landlords, in an article
in the N. Y. World. 1t is SO grossly par
tisan as to lose any force which its logic
might otherwise give and proceeds on the
theory that things were just about right
before government began to lccede to
the demands of poor tenants.

HERBERT OPENCER laS spent out q
comparatively brief spell in the United
States and still he has thorough under
standing of the people, the condition of
politics and all that is praiseworthy, and
all that is blamable in our system of gov
eminent. The celebrated philosopher
speaks of the astounding advance in ma
terial civilization made in this country,
but has no compliments for our progress
in that higher kind of civilization which
finds expression in art, literature and
scientific discoveries. Every American
must admit that the philosopher has
Disseminated justly in regard to the mat
tiers which concern us most. We have
learned men, but they are learned only
in books. During the 10Th century Eng
land has furnished Spencer, a Darwin,
a Huxley and Tyndall. America has
furnished many men, noted class teachers
who have mastered the knowledge pre-
pared by other minds but have original
ed nothing or made no purely scientific
discoveries. We have no poets. We
lay great store by Longfellow, and Bry-
ant, and Holmes and the many other
lights, because they are our best not be-
cause they are eminent in the world of
letters. We may match Emerson with
Carlyle and still the work of both is
simply the reflections # philosophic
minds, not the active earnest searching
for truth which characterizes the work
Of England's great men.
In industrial invention, America ex-
GELS. But this is the material spirit; the
yearning for gain; the promptings of the
god Mammon. The steamboat, the tele-
graph. the telephone are but the materi-
alization Of the discoveries of English
scientists. We steal English ideas and
put them to work in harness, the slaves of
money making men and boast of our pro-
gress. We hitch Pegasus to the pillow
and claim that the celestial horse is OF
pure American breed.
Our boasts of freedom receive some
comments from this distinguished visitor.
He says we are not deprived of our iber-
ties by standing armies but suffer the
tyranny no less effective through party.
No one can question the accuracy of Mr.
Spencer's judgment in this. A monarch
ical dsspot says "Do this" and the
standing army sees that the people do
as commanded. Politicians say "Do
this" and party organization takes the
place of the standing army and through
it the behests OF managers are executed.
1t is treason to rebel against the dictates
of party. The people take no part in
government. The government of the
United States is not democracy. The
people have only to choose between two
systems submitted by two parties which
are simply the mediums of corrupt poll
ticians. They have no free choice. They
do not exercice the right of men--citizenf
of republic. We live in monarchy
and party is the monarch; yes the des.
pot whose power is not limited by con.
stitution. 1t is simply q fiction to quiet
the apprehensions OF the people to SPEAK
OF the United States as republican foru
Of government OF course there is CON

THE villain Walter Malley and Blanche
Douglas again appear in court, this time
to settle matchmaking. 1t seems that
after the acquittal of the Malleys and
Blanche, for the murder of Jennie Sra
mer, Walter fell in love with the woman,
and she made some pretense of abandon
ing her vicious life. Walter wrote her
loving and soft letters to which she re-
sponded in like terms while nightly en-
tertaining fellow named Hanley. Han
ley stole the package of letters and at
tempted to levy blackmail on Malley.-
He was arrested and the letters came into
the possession of reporters. Hanley
states that Blanche informed him that
she placed the poison in the glass for
Jennie. 1t need occasion no surprise if
undoubted proof of the guilt of these
murderers would now be forthcoming
when their former trial and acquittal
make it impossible to punish them.
