Brandywine, was provided by Congress
to convey him to France. 1t was
deemed appropriate that he should take
final leave of the Nation at the seat of
Government in Washington. President
Adams invited him to pass few weeks
in the Presidential mansion. During
his sojourn at the capital he visited ex-
Presidents Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe st their several places of resi-
dence.
Having paid his respects to the vene-
rated sages, the Nations guest" pre-
pared to take his final departure from
the midst of grateful people. The
9Th of September. 1925, was the day
appointed for taking leave. At twelve
O'Clock the officers of the general Gov
eminent, civil, military and naval, to-
gether with the authorities of Washing
ton, Georgetown and Alexandria, with
multitudes of citizens and strangers,
assembled in the Presidents house.
Mr.. Adams then addressed him in an
appropriate speech. l copy a single
paragraph:
"You have traversed the twenty-four
States of the great Confederacy; you
have been received with raptures by
the survivors of your earliest COM
panions in arms; you have been hailed,
as lOng-absent parent, by their chill
dren-the men and women of the
present age; and rising generation,
the hope of future time, in numbers
surprising the whole population of that
day when you fought at the head and
by the side of their forefathers, have
We'd with the scanty remnants of that
hour of trial in acclamations of Joy at
beholding the face of him whom they
feel to be the common benefactor of all.
You have heard the mingled voices OF
the past, the present and the future
age joining in the universal chorus OF
delight at your approach; and the
shouts of unbidden thousands, which
greeted your landing on the soil OF
freedom, have followed every step OF
your way, and still resound like the
rushing of many waters from every
corner of our land"
General Lafayette's happy reply
closed with these words:
.'God bless you, sir, and all who sur
round us. God bless the American
people, each of their States and the
Federal Government. Accept this
patriotic farewell of an Overfiowihg
heart. Such will be its last thrOb when
it ceases to beat"
The moment of departure at length
arrived, and having once more pressed
the hand of Mr.. Adams, he entered the
barouche, accompanied by the Secre-
taries of State, of the Treasury and of
the Navy, and passed from the capital.
An immense procession accompanied
him to the banks of the Potomac, where
the steamboat Mount Vernon awaited
to carry him down the river to the
frigate Brandywine. The next morn
ing this boat anchored in safety near
the Brandywine. Here Lafayette took
leave of the Secretaries of State, the
Treasury and Navy and the guests who
accompanied him from Washington,
together with many military and naval
officers, and eminent citizens who had
assembled in various crafts near the
frigate to bid him farewell.-Cor. Lou

A DIFFICULT SUBJECT.

Sketch of Young Lady Five Months Old
NV pretty, budding, breathing flower,
Methinks, if Tomorrow
Could manage just for half an hour,
Sir Joshua's brush to borrow,
i might immortalize few
OF all the myriad graces
Which Time, while yet they all are new,
With newer still replaces
I'd paint, my child your deep-blue eyes,
Their quick and earnest flashes;
I'd paint the fringe that round them lies,
The fringe of long, dark lashes;
I'd draw with most fastidiOus care
One eyebrow. then the other,
And that fair forehead, broad and fair
The forehead of your mother.
I'd oft retouch the dimpled cheek
Where health in sunshine dances:
And oft the pouting lips. where speak
A thousand yoicelesS fancieS:
And the soft neck would keep me long,
The neck more smooth and snowy
Than ever vet in school-bOy's song
Had Caroline or Chloe.
Nor less on those twin rounded arms
My new-found skill would linger,
Nor less upon the rosy charms
OF every tiny finger:
Nor slight the small feet, little one
SO prematurely clever
That, though they neither walk nor run,
think they'd jump forever.
But then your odd, endearing ways
What study e'er could catch them?
Your aimless gestures. endless plays
What canvas e er could match theT92
Your lovely leap of merrimenL
Your murmur of petition.
Your serious silence of content,
Your laugh of recognition.
Here were a puZzling toll indeed,
For Arts most fine Great onS,
Grow on, sweet baby; we will need,
To note your transformations,
No picture of your form or face,
Your waking or your sleeping.
But that which Love shall daily trace,
And trust to Memory's keeping.
Hereafter, when revolving years
Have made you tall and twenty,
And brought you blended hopes and fears
And slghs and slaves in plenty,
1iay those who watch our little saint,
Among her tasks and duties.
Feel all her virtues hard to paint,
As now we deem her beauties.

Decision in the NIacklin Case.

The supreme court of the United States
has rendered it's decision on the questions
submitted to it by the circuit court in the
Mackin- Gallagher election conspiracy case,
Chicago. Justice Gray delivers the opin-
ion OF the court: "a crime, punishable by
imprisonment for q term OF years at hard
labor, is an infamous crime within the
meaning Of the fifth amendment OF the con-
stitution of the United States, which de-.
clares that no person shall be held to an
swer for q capital or otherwise imam Gus
ment by a grand jury, and therefore could
not be prosecuted by information in any
court of the United States'
The first question submitted by the cir
cult court, whether the crimes charged
against the defendants in the courts on the
information are infamous crimes within the
meaning of the fifth article OF amendment
to the constitution Of the United States is
answered in the affirmative. The second
question. whether the defendants can or
cannot be held to answer in the courts Of
the United States for the crimes charged
against them otherwise than on present
ment or indictment OF a grand jury; the
court answers in the negative, and the an.
swers render imma terial the other ques.
sions submitted.
The effect of the decision will be to release
the defendants from the punishment infiict-
ed by the United States courts for tamper-
ing with election returns, but has no effect
whatever upon the punishment inflicted by
the state courts for perjury. The decision
sends the case back to the lower court, to
be proceeded with by al grand jury indict-
ment instead OF by information, and sets
aside the two years sentence imposed by
Judge Blodgett.

A Plucky Western Desperate.

An Omaha special says: The Burt coun-
ty tragedy was ended during the night by
setting fire to the barn and shooting Ed
johnson the desperate who had killed two
men, wounded several others, and held at
bay an armed crowd of zoe men for over
forty hours. During the darkness OF the
night some one in the crowd crept up TO Il
shed adjoining the barn and set fire to it.
The Gagged murderer, seeing that he WAS
doomed, fired twenty shots into
the crowd in rapid succession,
but hitting no one. The crowd
rifles from all sides OF the barn, and the
superstition is that johnson was killed
before hecould attempt.,to make his escape.
After the fire had subsidized his dead body
was found in q pile OF oats. Both arms
and q part of both legs were burned off, O.
part OF his head had been shot away, and
his body was completely ridtlled with bull
let's. The supposition is that he was
wounded in q leg before he ran into the
barn, and hence he did not attempt
> to escape. The desperado's right
name was Allen Wright, aged about
twenty-eight years. His remains were
buried in a cornfeld. His revolver had O.
Texas cows head engraved on it. He had
also 81 Winchester rife. Eight mules three
COWS, and large quantity OF grain were
destroyed with the barn. Total loss
$4,000, which the county will probably
pay. Wright killed III. G. Stead man and
Charles F. Johnson and wounded another
man, and soon after he fatally wounded
Edgar Everett. Several others were slight.
