John Danforth, known as major
John" was character of whom the
Connecticut papers are now telling an
ecdotes, Danforth being under the sod
His chief oddly was his spread-eagle
patriotism, copied from that of Jona-
than Brooks, who, clad in red clothes
of continental cut, used to mount Cor
toms heights, New London, and de-
liver an Grafton to wondering urchins
and grazing COWS. One day when there
was a real meeting at the grove, Dan
forth got up to make an address. Soon
after he had begun the quick-witted
president of the day spran9 to his feet
and shouted: Three cheers for Mai
Danforth, who has just finished his
great speech!'' The major stood be-
Wildered amidst cannonade of APP
plause and finally sat down like man
in the mazes of dream.

A Newspnper Man an ME-.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Col. Burleigh, the
well-known war correspondent, is nomi-
mated by the Liberals for Govina, a
suburb of Glasgow. His opponent OBJ
jected to Col. Burleigh's being received
as a candidate on the ground that he was
not British subject, and that he was a
fugitive from Canadian Justice. Col.
Burleigh denied the allegations and the
sheriff oyerruled the objections. The
charge against Col. Burleigh probably
grew ont OF the TACT that he was in the
service of the Confederate states, and
was working with others from Canada
He was captured by the federals and was
a prisoner ut Sandusky, Ohio
He escaped from prison and went
to Canada, whence he returned
to England. Before this episode, he was
on the staff of the New York Sun. He
figured prominently in the Egyptian wal
and accompanied the Highlanders over
Aribi Pasha's oreastworkS at the battle OF
Tel-el- Kebir. He carried the news of the
battle across the desert on horseback
beating the government couriers severa
hours He was wounded at the zerebs
in the battle near Karti, in which Col
Stewart was killed.

OF the division OF the Missouri the con-
ditiOn and wants of this department dur
Ing the past year. It's affairs have been
uneventful, Indian raids, the record
of which few days ago formed goodly
portion OF department reports have
ceased, and Mexican outragcs, when
siited to the bottom have turned out to
be neighborhood brawls In which
the aggression was as likely to
belong on the left as the right
bank OF the Rio Grandc. The call for
troops In Texas Is to be where the peace
seems to be most likely broken,
and TO be ready 10 act promptly
when needed. The Rio Grande separat-
lug this department from the states of
Mexico gives frontier Of more than 1000
miles. Throughout It's entire length, there
IL a smuggling commerce carried on with
more or less profit. 1t is occupied on
either side by stockmen rather than agri-
culturists, and, in many cases, those stock
raiscrs have lands on both sides with resi-
dcnces either in Texas or Mexico. With a
sparse population not very highly civilized
and with an extradition treaty so de
fcctiyc as to be wholly imperative, it
Is not strange that crimes are committed
upon this border, but it is that
there Is so little OF il. The powers
OF the military authorities are
restricted, but experience shows that the
presence of troops has u most beneficial
effect of keeping down rob
berry and even disturbance. The orders
OF the department require constant scouts
| to be kept up from the mouth of the Rio
| Grandc to the mouth OF the Pecos, with
occasional scouts from Fort Davis TO the
border south Of that post. The posts
Of Fort Stockton and Concho are
kept for no other reason than
| there are no quarters for their garrison
elsewhere, and the danger, Judging from
the outcry of the citizens In the vicinity
OF the posts, OF anarchy should the troops
be taken away. The small sub-posts
upon the line of the Southern Pacific rail
way and lower Rio Grande are still
maintained, securing peace and safety tc
these great routes of travel. II is recon-
mended that the old post of Duncan bC
regarrlsoned, at least az sub-post
as 1t commands one OF the principa
highways into Mexico, and IL well stu
ated for observing and scouting tn,

have all been slightly improved during
the past year, and measures have beer
taken to continue improvements during
the coming fiscal year, 1t is discourag
ing that the amounts allowed for barracks
and quarters are totally inadequate t,

to vote for the gyers of the franchise. A
