A few weeks ago we made mention OF
attempt, OF some unknown party, 10 as
sasslnate Frank Daniel, white man liv-
ing on Mr.. r.. j. Hightower's place, while
he was sitting around his hearthstone
with his family.
The guilty party concealed his identity
until last Saturday, when one Ira Ste

ing at Mixon's mill, at Wrightsville. for
some time, was arrested by the Sheriff OF
johnson county at the instance Of de-
tective by the name OF Holmes.
IL appears that Holmes had been on his
track but a short while when he Holmes
went to the aforesaid mill three weeks
ago and began 10 work as day laborer.
He at once became intimate with
stephens, who returned his friendship.
The last OF last week they both went 70
Tennlle, bought a jug Of liquor and re-
turned to Wrightsville in a hilarious con-
dition, apparently. Holmes, playing on

Lost their Horse.

From the GuytOn (Gd.) CAroRiclc.
Two young men recently called on
some young ladies. and the time passed
so pleasantly that il was midnight before
they thought of departing for home. But
when they did start they found that their
horse was gone, and they had to join the
foot company No trace of the horse
could be found, and they offered So reward
for the recovery Of the animal. This put old
man AmbrOsia in pursuit, and he soon
discovered that they were alone to blame,
for horse very often gets tired OF post
oak corn and pailing-board fodder, as we'll
as bride bit and gallop, and was gone no
farther than TO get full sway at the wire
grass.
The next time you go, young gentleman,
put bundle of fodder and few ''nub-
bins" in your buggy, and it may save you
walks, money, and other trouble.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Yesterday in the
county court application was made by
Dong Tong, a Chinese portrait painter, a
resident in this city, for the privilege of
adopting Philip Brown, a white child,
four months old. now in the custody of
the foundlings' home. Judge Prender-
CAST announced his ruling on the applica-
ton to-day. BE said that, so far as he
could learn, this was the first instance Of
the kind, and he had, therefore, no pre-
cedent 10 gnide him. He was satisfied
from the evidence presented that Dong
Tong and his wife were reputable people.
The question with the court was thefwel
fare Of the child and not even the consent
of its mother could put that question
aside. The child was born under one civ
i~lization and could not, owing to its in
fancy, assent or object to its adoption into
another civilization. Ought not that fact
to act as a bar 10 it, adoption The court
must not alone consider whether the
child would be- Jared for in the ordinary
acceptation-fka is, clothed and ied--but
whether he would be given a
Christian education. That this

Wants a Divorce.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-Jno. George Lamb
ton, the present and third earl of Durham,
brough a suit for divorce against his wife,
who is a granddaughter of the archbishop
of Armagh, and daughter of the late
Henry B. W.. Miner. ESQ. The earl
bases his application for divorce upon the
ground that his wife is insane and was in
sane at the time of marriage. 1t is adj
mitted that she is now insane, but denied
that she was insane when she was mar
ried. When Miss Miner married the
earl she was a reigning belle, beautiful,
accomplished and a general social f~avorite.
The plaintiff 8 counsel, in the application,
cites many instances of the defendants
conduct to prove she has long been of
unsound mind. One of these was her ex-
IRENE taciturnity towards her husband,
even before marriage. Another was her
abnormal insensibility to pain. Before
his marriage the earl was much worried
about the strange silence of his afianced,
and attempted in every way to make her
more laxative and communicative, but to
no purpac, When the mar
riage engagement had been entered into
he wrote her, Il wonder if you will ever
talk to me alter marriage. | could gaze
on your charms hours every day. but
twill become monotonous if we maintain
this gloomy silence the rest of the time"
During this period Of their acquaintance
the earl called Miss Miner ''his silent,
shy, divinity The plaintiff stated that
frequently before his marriage. Miss Mil
ner often said to him; 'Oh, there's some
thing awful dreadful | ought tell you
but whenever he would press her 10 tell
him, or explain what she meant she would
retreat from the entire subject. During
their courtship she never used a single
word of endearment towards him. Her

showing the defendant mother commit
ted suicide during a fit of temporary in
sanity. Tomorrow is set for a special and
private hearing Of medical testimony to

having the hearing private that it is I'M
desirable hat this part OF the case be

SUAKM, Feb. 25.-The latest news
from Agig and Sami confirms the report
of a brilliant victory won by the Mahdir
of Toka and Shukria tribe Of friendly
Arabs against a Hadendowah tribe in an
attack made by the latter upon some
friendly tribes for supplying the garrison
Kassola with grain. 1t is now stated that
during the battle no less than 5000 Had
endowah's were killed and among the
slain was Sheikah Moosa. The Kassola
garrison is short of food and ammunition,
and as the place was hard pressed by the
enemy despite the recent repulse surren-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Francis Il.
Warren has been nominated for governor
Of Wyoming by President Arthur.
Wyoming men here say that the nom
nation of T.. T.. Warren as governor of
Wyoming. will give great satisfaction to
the people of the territory. Mr.. Warren
is a citizen Of Wyoming, having moved
there in lseaafrOm Massachusetts,, of
which state he is a native. He is, they
say. a man of fine executive ability, and
has filled important offices in the territory.
and has been very successful as a mer-
chant. banker and stockprower.

needed Of the source Of the spirit referred
10 he could give it.
Senator Conger agreed with Mr.. ingalls,
in ascribing the spirit complained of to
j~ealousy entertained by West Point gradn-
ates against volunteer officers ofthe army.
He had cautioned his friend Gen. Swain,
on taking the Office ofjudge advocate gen
eral; that the position would need all his
caution and prudence, because every pos
sible opportunity would be seized in order
to degrade and destroy him. Hundreds
OF thousands Of good people were of the
belief that Gen. Garield's friends had
been marked for unfriendly treatment
He was ashamed to say this of his gov
eminent and its officers, but the truth
must be told.
Mr.. Cameron, Of Wisconsin, inquired
Of Mr.. Conger whether the findings and
sentence of the court martial created a
vacancy in the Office OF judge advocate
general. Mr.. Conger could not sec how
a vacancy was created. The whole affair,
Mr.. Conger added, was a mere mockery
of justice and decency, exercised on a
man who had rendered his country yalu-
able service as a soldier, and had been
chosen the confident of the man whom
n half of the American people had
loved and whose memory they rcvcred.
Senator Hawley protested against the
idea that officers who graduated at West
Point felt any jealousy toward volunteer
officers. Much had been said about that,
but Mr., Hawlcy did not believe it existed.
There was prejudice in the army against
the volunteer officer, General Terry. 4
volunteer officer had been named for this
very court, but had been challenged by the
accused officer in the exercise of his right
of challenge. Hawley believed the whole
corps Of Judge advocates we're volunteer
officers. He characterized as nothing un-
usual the proceedings in the case of the
Swain court martial People who did
not know the history and law of courts
martial, seemed to think a great outrage
had been perpetrated. Mr.. Hawley cited
parallel instances in the procedure of
civil jurisprudence, as when a Judge in
structed the jury, he rebuked them aud
sent them lack IN the jury room again
and again.
On motion of Mr.. Allison, the senate
further insisted on ita amendment 10
strike out the house provision permitting
courts martial to control their own hours
of session. The chair %reappointed the
conference committee already acting on
the bill.

would or could be done did not appear
in the evidence before the court.
These petitioners could not. under the
law become citizens There was nothing
to prevent them from returning TO the
land Of their birth, and il this adoption
were consented to by the court, no earthly
power could prevent them from taking the
child with them TO China, where h ewould
grow up under another civilization The
customs and religion of China were right
and proper enough for children born there;
but it was not to be supposed that this
child, when it should reach its years of
discretion, would go there of its own free
will. On the other hand, should the
parents by adoption remain in this
country, the child as It grew up would
be subjected to prejudice. aversion,
and insult on account of its
adopted relations and il was not improb-
able that these things would engcnder re-
pugnance on its part towards its adopted
parents as it grew up. The petition vas
denied, but the court stated that the
order would not be entered until petitioners
had further opportunity to submit ies-
timony.
What adds force to this opinion is the
fact that Dong Tong and his wife are liv-
ing in quite a respectable, civilized sort of
a way. having neatly furnished rooms on
a second floor; and that the husband is
doing a very good business in the practice
of his profession, having painted the por-
traits of a number of prominent people.
