Newly Elected Commander-in-Chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
| Apopular lawyer of Washington, Samuel
| Swineford Burlett, was elected Comman-
der-in Chief at the recent Grand Army En-
campment, Portland, Maine. He was De-
partment Commander of the Department
of the Potomac in 1881, and again in 1882
His election was the result of an organized
movement representing Mr.. Burdett's
great popularity in the organization.
Mr.. Burdett was twelve years old when,
IS tho companion of an elder brother, he
landed on the American continent from his
native England. The brothers settled in
Elyri'., Ohio. In due time the younger be-
came student at Oberlin College. After
graduation he went to Iowa, where he read
law, was admitted to the bar, and soon won
q leading position as lawyer.
At the beginning of the war he joined the
army of the Union, and had risen to be a
Captain when, in 1868, he was detailed as
Judge Advocate at a station where he re-
mained during the rest of the struggle.
The war over he married wife in Iowa,
and, soon after, took up his abode at Os-
ceola, Missouri, where he practiced law.
He was elected to Congress in 1868 and
again in 1870. Between July I, 1874, and
October, 1877, he WAS Commissioner of the
General Land Office, an appointment
which he resigned because his health was
bad. Extensive travel renewed his vigor,
and he became partner in law business at
Washington. He has made considerable
money by his practice, and owns the beau
tiful residence in which Mrs. Rurdett and
he entertain their numerous visitors.
Commander Burdett excels as ready.
witty aud effective speaker. He is popu-
lar citizen. Unfortunately he has no child
to inherit the qualities which give him dis
tinctiOn.

LAUGH, If YOU CAN.

BY E. D. HELM.
Laugh, if you can, but don't forget
That some are sad while you are gay;
Your sky, all cloudless now, may yet
Be overcast ere close Of day.
Laugh while you can, but do not scorn
Your neighbor's cheerless. solemn mood;
All who have been or will be, born
Must bear life's i'll Us we'll as good.
Laugh while you can. there comes day
When tears those merry checks must trace
And wash their rosy tints away,
And leaves behind sober face.
Laugh, if you can. but bear in mind.
Whate'er your fault or unbelief.
Search where you may, you ne'er will find
JOY unalloyed with pain and grief.

VIOLET EYES.
BY RUTH RAMAY.
Oh, dark fringed violet eyes.
Down dropping like the flower
Whose tender tint they bear;
Let young loves light arise
And show what depth and power
Those glorious orbs may wear!
Oh, shy, sweet, tender lips.
Like rose-leaves hiding pearls.
Part in one smile for me!
The sun smiles in the tips
OF all the gold-brown curls,
All nature smiles on thee.
Oh, face where lilies part,
Showing rose between
Its petals blooming soft;
Thy bushes show heart
Furls meath its satin sheen
Loves pennons bright aloft.
".
Oh, tender violet eyes.
Now lifted up to mine.
To see is to adore!
Their cold Indifference dies.
With loves true light they shine
On me forevermore.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, June 20.
Mrs. VIM. Smith of No. 10 Dean street,
this city. who says she is sister of John
Mccullough, the actor, states that when he
came to this country a mere lad, he became
separated from his family when they arrived
at Castle Garden, New York. He was cared
for BY man who, not being able to fud his
guardians, took him to Philadelphia, where
when very young he found his way on the
stage.
Mccullough was apparently not discovered
by his relatives until comparatively recent
time. VIII IN Mrs. Smith, his only sister, found
he had become famous. and Immediately
wrote to him inquiring about his former life,
but says she has reason to believe that all her
letters were intercepted, as she never re
ceived q reply to any Of them. Through a
friend who had conversation with McCul-
Tough and questioned him in regard to his
former life, she found out that there were no
reasons for doubling that Mccullough was
her brother. She also says that a man who
has been with Mccullough on the stage has
borrowed great deal of money from him,
not long ago borrowing $4,000, and that he
is attempting to prove that Mccullough has
no relatives for the purpose of coming into
possession of McCullough's money. 1t has
been stated lately that Mccullough has a
wife and two sons, one 80 and the other 81
years of age, but this statement Mrs. Smith
declares is entirely false, as Mccullough was
never married.

WHOLESALE JUSTICE.
The Method Of Dealing With Outlaws
in Indian Territory.
GAINEsvILLE. Tex. June 20.

0AiNEsNiLLE, AcAs, June 80.
That portion of the southern section of
Indian Territory known as ''Delaware Bend"
has suddenly leaped Into uotoriety as the
scene of wholesale lynchings on a grand
scale. 1t has become the rendezvous for the
worst gang of outlaws that ever existed
Their depredations on live stock and other
property Of the people of Northwest Texas
have so exasperafed the people that they have
taken the law, and plentiful supply Of rope
into their own hands and have declared a
war of determination against the outlaws.
Today five more lynchings are reported in
addition to the recent report that Is men had
been hanged in two weeks. Efforts to sub
stantiate the last mentioned report resulted
in the positive proof of the hanging, q week
ago, near Healdtown, of Frank Morgan. Bill
Williams. and boy named Moore. All
three were strung up on one limb. Some of
the posse climbed upon the limbs and pressed
down with their feet upon the shoulders of
the criminals in order that they might die
quicker. After the men were dead they
were cut down and buried together. The
posse then started on q man hunt TO Wachits,
and reports have come back to the effect that
they captured and lynched nine more, thus
making total of twelve.
The noted detective, John Duncan, at the
head of squad Of we'll armed men, has gone
to Indian Territory in search Of the outlaws,
Jim and Hank Lee. He carries with him three
well trained blood hounds which he will use
when the trail is struck. 1t is learned that
three other squads are also in the field on
the same errand. Ever since the murder Of
the Rof boys there has been reward of
$1,000 offered for these men, but this is the
first effort made to effect their capture. The
Lee boys have long been terrors to the Della
ware Bend people. In the past few months
they have been loafng around that section
stealing indiscriminately. They have re-
peatedly announced that they would never
surrender, and interesting news may be ex-
pected when the detectives reach there.

GEN. GRANT.
No Material Change in the Generals
Condition.

MT. McGREaoR, June 20.
DIR. Douglass attended General Grant,
cleansed bis throat, painted it with cocoaine.
and administered the usual allowance of ano-
dyne the last part Of the night. From that
time until FIVE o'clock the General was quiet.
At that hour DR.. Douglass was called, after
which the patient required no attention until
8 o'clock, when he was aroused. His physi-
clan believes the General slept nearly nine
hours last night. He says that the glandular
swelling outside has subsidized to minimum.
The infltration shows q disposition to extend
upward upon the right cheek and less ten
dency to spread downward and forward upon
the neck.
At 1.30 Gen. Grant had not been dressed.
He had rested in his room all the morning,
and at noon he explained to DIR. Douglass
that his throat caused him no trouble and
that he remained quiet in order that the ease
might continue.
be understood that the physician is not with
out apprehension, and that he in no way re-
lakes his vigilence.
In the afternoon Gen. Grant wrote upon
his pad, telling Dr. Douglass he had no pain
and was feeling as well as on Sunday. The
prolonged quiet of the sick man, however,
did not assure all his friends. and it hav-
ing become evident to him that
that such was the case he wrote during the
afternoon these words:
"Do as do, take it quietly. give my
self not the least concern. If knew the end
was to be tomorrow I would try and get
rest in the meantime, as long as there 10 no
progress there is hope."l
Between 8 and 8 o'clock the General was
put to bed. and at $50 he seemed to be sleep
ing DR.. Douglass then thought the patient
would pass q quiet night.

MANCHESTER, N. H., Juue 20.
The sporting fraternity of Manchester is in
ferment of excitement over the 100 yards

was for 800 side. Betting was 800 to $50

won with apparent ease by the favorite in 10
seconds. The betting was $25 to @l2 on
Farrell, who allowed DALEY to take the Sec
ond heat in 10 l-5 seconds.
The betting was now furious, the odds of
100 to so at first given on Farrell changing
to even terms. There was fully 5000 in the
pool box, and before the last heat was started
there were rumors that Farrell had sold out
Farrell allowed his opponent to start fully a
second in advance, and was then barely
beaten out in the finish in ten seconds. Far

duct.
