There is no longer any doubt that
the survivors of the Greedy expedition
lived for weeks by eating the bodies
of their dead comrades and at least
one of them, Private Henry, was shot
and afterwards eaten. Lieut.. Greedy
has made an official report of his
shooting, which he says was for steal
ing from the other starving men their
scanty portions of food. AS soon as
the question of cannibalism was agi-
tated the family of Lieut.. Kislingbury
had his body exhumed at Rochester.
N y, and an examination shows that
the flesh had been literally picked
from the bones. 1t had been removed
by some one who understood the art
of carving, as the skeleton showed
that the flesh had been very skillfully
cut away with knife.
1t has been admitted by the officials
of the Bear that the men were all but
delirious when rescued, and declared
that they had been for weeks living
on the bodies of the dead. 1t i,
charged by the friends of the dead
that the little food on hand was ap.
propriatcd by the officers, excepting
Lieut.. Kislingbury, who was under
Greely's displeasure, and was one o.
the first TO starve. 1t was a horrible
state of alftirs, but it was TIL, last
resort of desperate and starv'
ing men whose reason was partly il
not entirely dcthroned, and few PEG
pie can find words of censure for The
poor fellows.

There are indications of some
trouble at Central City on account OF
the employment of convict laborers
at about one-tifth the wages hereto
fore paid miners. Mr.. b. DUPONT,
the president of the mining cOmpa-
ny, has contracted for 300 convicts
and they arc to take the place of til C
honest laborers who must either
starve or seek other fields to earn a
livelihood. Already the discharged
miners are beginning TO leave the
State. Ten of them left from Beaver
Dam, KY, last Friday, for Illinois,
with their families. Many Of them
do not propose to submit tamely and
an Indignation mass meeting has
been called to meet at Central City
next Thursday. 1t will be attended
by not only the miners but the best
and most substantial citizens OF Muh-
lenberg county, and an earnest pro-
test will be made against tie intro
duction of convict labor into the
mines. There arc muttcred COM
plants and threats, precursors Of a
coming storm, in the event the meet
ing fails in its object and the con-
victs are allowed to remain and
throw the miners out of work. 1t is
hardly necessary TO say that the mi
ncrs will accomplish nothing, and
that the State Guard will be called
out to quell any riotous proceedings.
1t is rough on them but the law ol
the State is against them.

Next Saturday at 3 o'clock p. NJ. is
the time sci Tor the holding ofprecinci
conventions to select delegates to the
county convention on the 25th. The
delegates from most of Shc precincts
will probably be instructed for Laf-
foon as there is no organized opposi-
ton to him, so far as we have heard
anywhere in the county. Mr.. Clay
has not condescended to notice Chris
tian and has not even visited the
county and it is presumed that he
neither expects nor desires any votes
from this county.

much like Mr.. Clay is to be defeated

The treatment which the common
school teachers Of Kentucky receive
from the State is a shame. Though
the last school year ended on June
30, and a majority of the schools
closed six months ago, there are yet
some teachers who have not received
all of their meager salaries, and they
are forced to await the filling of the
empty State treasury Louisville

we have worked and contriyed, and al

have we done it for? Don't you still de-
sire to own the Cranston meadow, and
don't you mean to put up the new barn?
@, Walter! if you will listen to me you
will tell Mr.. Plausible Sparkler to take
care of his own business and allow you to
take care of yours. Let US own the beau
tiful meadow, as we have so long talked
of, and let us have barn-room enough
for the cattle we can keep when that
meadow is ours. 0, think, my dear
husband, well have one of the best and
one of the handsomest farms in this
whole region. "
Eyes, know, Jennie; but you don't
exactly understand. You don't take
into account what is sure to come back
to us. Think of the thousands wen
have where now we've got little or
nothing. Why, bless you! look at it.
Mr. Sparkler has made me a grand Of
fer. He lets ME have the stock for tao
dollars and d-hGtf and the par value is
twenty dollars. Why, I'd be fool not
to take it. He wouldn' t do that to many
NOW, you bet. =
Walter. you are entirely carried
away by that mans wonderful talk.
Now, will you just listen to me for few
moments. In the first place, you know
very well that Plausible Sparkler
wouldn't give you dollar to save you
He is not one Of that kind. Now,
about the price of the stock. Look me
in the eye, Walter; would that man sell
you horse for one-quarter or one-half
of what it was really worth? All, you
know he wouldn't. No, the very fact
that he offers the shares at that price is
proof that they are good for nothing.
And now, there's just one more thing.
If the land of which Sparkler tells was
so rich in minerals, in coal, and oil,
and in such magnificent lumber. do you
suppose he and his mates would be
around among poor folks like us picking
up dollar by dollar? No, you know
they would easily find the capital neces-
sary to develop it.
''Ahi but, my dear wife. the very OBJ
ject of this company is to keep out these
wealthy capitalists. These men have
been poor themselves, and they are
bound to give poor men chance. And,
you see, they must have money capt.
