A Sea Wait.

A very curious anecdote is told con-
corning Admiral Bythesea, V. c., G.
b., who has just retired from the SER
vice, after having for many years
filed the post of Consulting Naval
Officer to the Government Of India.
II is stated that the Admiral was
picked up, when an infant, far out at
sea, dashed TO bale of goods. A lady
presumably his mother-was with
him, but she Was dead, and there was
no evidence of any kind by which the
names Of the waits could be traced.
The officers of the man Of war which
picked up the poor little infant did all
they could by advertisement and in
quiry to discover his relatives, aud,
finding all their attempts futile, they
determined TO adopt the child, to
whom they gave name of "By the
Sea" He was sent to naval school
and, when old enough, joined the
navy. BY II happy

AN OPEN LETTER.
WA-KEENEY, KAN, Aug. 30, 1856.

WA-KEENEY, KAN, Aug. 30, 1856.
To the Editor of the Western kansas World:
Open opposition can be met-honorable
opponents are worthy of respect-true
manhood shuns hitting from under cover
or charging by innuendo. I can fully re-
spect an honorable foe, but when such fell
lows as the participants in Sunday nights
cowardly trick pose under the impression
of having done something noble and
manly, then I say that manhood, true no
bility of character, bravery and decency
are traits as foreign to them as is cleani-
ness to swine.
When such like characters, under the
cover of darkness, and fearful lest a re-
sponsibiity such as passes between gen.
tlemen should fall upon them, attempt to
traduce and malign me, let them forsake
cover, act like men, and in the full light
Of honorable action make their charge,
and act well their part. No man has, nor
ever will, find me Sinking full RESPONSE
bility to my fellows for my every act, and
standing ready now, as at all times, to
meet every honorable opponent. I can
only for the time being rest content that
the time will surely come when such at
tacks, under cover of night and coward
ice, will recoil upon all the participants
in SO unmanly, SO cowardly an act.
Moreover, Sir, I feel full well assured
that in days gone by [ have helped, as
prosecuting attorney, send to the peni
tertiary better men-more honorable
men-men of more bravery and decency
than the participants in the affair which
is the basis Of this article.
am, Sir, faithfully yours,
WILLIAM WILSON.

would be good news to us to hear of his
success. He is the chairman of our con-

him as her representative, Russell county

County Republican Ticket.
UPWARDS of half hundred final

UPWARDS of half hundred final
proof publications make the forty-two-
weeks-of-age Scott City Herald howl in
no uncertain tone for Grover Cleveland
and reform. Western Kansas, by reason
of climate and the high character OF her
population, is as naturally Republican as
Texas, for the opposite reasons, IS Demo-
cratic. These Democratic editors will
find this out inside of the next very few
years. We do not censure them for max
ing hay while their short-lived political
SIN shines
