LOGAN'S REPLY TO GRANT.

The Chicago Tribune has four
column article from General Logan, in
reply to General Grants recent article
in defense of General Fi:z John Porter.
He goes over the whole ground anew,
reproducing all the orders, letters, etc.,
of the generals concerned, and the
various excuses as to fatigue and the
time when the orders were delivered
which are pleaded in behalf Of Porter
BY Grant and by his apologists and
defenders. General Grants point that
the night was too darl. for marching
is met by the statement that the whole
of the rebel army under jackson moved
that night Il greater distance than
Porter was ordered to. General Grants
statements are then taken up one by
one and combatted. Cases are cited in
which by just such movements as
Porter was ordered to make, great aud
important victories have been won in
the past. In conclusion, he character
izes General Grants defense of Porter
as astounding aud inexplicable, since
there is found not even the flimsiest
excuse for Portes's disobedience after
twenty years of raking for II. To
vindicate Porter mt the expense of tho
reputation of Garfield and Hunter, who
found him guilty, and to cloud the
reputation OF Lincoln, who approved
their findings is asking too much even
though asked by General Grant.

legs and took his spring from his hind
legs. In speaking of horses jumping
he said that the horse of which some
Of these pictures were made had risen
Is feet in front of It. i'll. hurdle
cleared it, and alighted II feet beyond
it. In aligting from jump the horse,
always lands first on his fore feet, with
them sc or 40 inches apart.
Following these pictures were long
series of illustrations of the various
gaits of oxen, a wild bull, Newfound-
land dog, hound, deer, goat, and hog.
In speaking of the motions of the OK,
Mr.. Muybridge criticised Rosa Bon
heur sharply, pointing out that in her
picture of three yokes of draught oxen
laboring, she missed the natural move
ments OF the beasts. The goat runs like
a horse and the deer likesthc hound,
bounding rather than running. In one
part Of the deer's stride its attitude was
very near to that which artists have so
long inaccurately made as that of the
running horse.
Then there We're many more instan
taneous photographed Hazael walking
and running, and jumping; Of athletes
boxing, turning plain somersaults and
twisting somersaults. "Hazael was
very much astonished at the various at
tittldeS in which he had unconsciously
placed himself when jumping" re-
marked the lecturer. s'Aud / should
think he would be,' responded voice
from among the audience i'll the dark
ness, in tone of conviction that set
everybody laughing. Tho pictures
that astonished Hazael certainly did
show him in wondrous series of
twists.

MRS. MELVILLE TELLS A PITlFUI
STORY.

NEW YORK, November IA
Philadelphia special to the Journal
says: Mrs. Melville, the wife of the
-Arctic.eNplorer, after two months i'm.
prisonment in the Insane Asylum, has
returned to her home on Sharon Hill,
with her two children. When asked
concerning her treatment on the day
she was taken to the Asylum she said /:
'tTwo men accompanied my husband
that day; they were officers of the law,
and said that if did not leave quietly
they would have to compel me. While
I was getting ready Mr.. Melville took
the revolver from under my pillow,
where it had rested for eighteen years,
that it would not hurt him, as it was
empty. When we came down to the
carriage there was a struggle for the
children. Each of the two men seized
one of the children and attempted
to wrench them from my grasp. But
clung with all my strength, and sank
to the ground in the struggle. The
men made me enter the carriage.
refused, unless accompanied by my
children, and while struggling for their
possession Mr.. George w. Melville, the
Arctic explorer, stood by with folded
arms and saw his wife struggling on
the ground with two men, who were
trying to get the children away.
Finally the children sprang into the
carriage, and with them, and we
were driven to the Asylum. When
arrived there I thought it was a hospi-
tai, where L was to be kept until the
children could be got away, and l
pleaded with the Doctor that they
might be left with me, and told Maud
to go and ask her father if she could
remain with me, but he detained her
and did not give me chance to say
good. bye.
81 have not since seen her. will
have my child if l have to appeal to
law. l can find no fault with my treat
ment in the insane asylum. When
they found that was not insane they
gave me a nice room, privilege to play
the piano and 60 with my children to
Stony Creek to fish or to NOrristOWn
alone. During my two months stay
Mr.. Melville visited the asylum only
once. did not see him, nor would l
have known of his being there If had
not been informed of it. Mr.. Melville
has taken everything of his out of the
house, all the books and pictures are
gone, the furnace is broken and things
are in terrible state, and some one has
taken my marriage certificate and my
letters.
"Thc house has been stripped bare,
and l have returned here to find no
provision for my coming. There is not
particle of food in the house, but
dust and dirt reign every where"

KISSING AS \ CURE FOR FRECKLES
TOSnabruck Gaxette.1

LOsnabruck Gazette.l
One fine evening recently Mr.. b., a
Governemcnt employe in the town Of
Brunn, was taking a walk in the
castle grounds when, on reaching less
frequented portion of the park, he saw
young lady coming in the opposite
direction. AS they were about to
pass each other tho lady suddenly
turned towards Mr.. b., threw her
arms around his neck and kissed him
then, as if ashamed of what she had
done, she covered her face with her
hands and ran Off as fast as she could.
The gentleman, unable to account for
this agreeable surprise, followed the
young lady, and taking her by the
arm, asked for an explanation of her
strange procedure. "I beg thousand
pardons," was the reply of the blush
ing damsef; "you must be greatly
shocked at my behavior. I had been
to consult a wise woman as to the best
means of charming away the freclxlcs
on my face, and she advised me to
kiss the first gentleman 1 met, when
they would be sure TO disappear" The
couple continued their walk together,
and though VIC arc not told whether
the singular remedy proved efficacious
or not, it may interest the reader 10
learn that, not many days afterward,
the two were joined together for better
or for worse.

TCitHtftbe.'S Journal, I

NSh WV OSCNSAOu, WAGu w
Irving, Bancroft and Everett were
chatting over diplomatic "reminiscences
the last named told how, after he and
the Neapolitan Embassador had been
presented to her Majesty, Queen Vic
toria, Lord Melbourne intimated that
they would be expected to join in a
game of whist with the Duchess of
Kent. "t play very poor game my
SELF" said Melbourne; "In fact,
scarcely understand ii; but the Duchess
is very fond of it," "And l." said the
Neapolitan to Everett, ssam very
bad player, and should l chance to be
your ENcellency's partner, l invoke
your forbearauce in advance" to which
the American Envoy replied, that he
knew very little of the game himself.
AS he put it, three dignitied person
ages, clad in gorgeous attire, were SOL
pectly understood, and FOR which none
of them cared in the least. Upon
reaching the Duchess' apartments the
ambassadors were formally presented
and then, ut her invitation, sat down
to play. AS soon as the cards were
dealt, lady-in-waitinG placed herself
at the back of the Duchess, and the
latter said: "Your EXceilencies must
really excuse .ne if l rely upon the ad-
vice of my friend here, for must con-
fess that am really n very poor play
er." This was almost too much for
Everetts gravity; a gravity undisturb-
eel for the rest of the evening, since he
found playing whist under such condi-
tions ineSpressibly dull work.

The town of Dunlap, Morris county,
Kansas, settled by colored colonists,
has met with remarkable prosperity.
There are now between 30 and 200
families gathered there. Every settler
is compelled 10 own his property, so
there is neither land nor buildings for
rent. Lots Of land of various sizes,
from 100 to IGO acres, are sold, and the
terms OF payment are so arranged that
the new settler has four years in which
to pay for land and improvements.
About l7J families have each from 40
to 50 acres. a fine academy is in sue
