HAMBURG POSTOFFICE.
Particulars OF the Arrest OF an Iowa
Assistant Postmaster.

The New York Herald OF Dec. IA, gives
the following particulars OF the arrest In that
city by the psstofiice ofc ais, Of G, o ge Brown
formerly assistant postmaster at Hamburg,
Iowa:
"George Brown, who in the early part Of
this year, was assistant postmaster at Ham
burg. Iowa, who is only twenty years old, was

forgerv, and embezzlement while hold ng that
position.
Brown took advantage Of his appointment
as postofIice official TO extract money from
letters, and by this and forgery stole some
thing like s2l6. When the thefts were on the
point of being traced TO him, he hrd to Gil
fornia, and from there TO Australia. After
remaining there a short time he sailed for
Liverpool, and remained In England
until little more than month ago,
when he shipped as a common sailor on board
tae On Ropes, which sailed from Liverpool
for this port. The postal authorities had some
suspicion that Brown, who had assum,d the
name Of Furbush, would return to this coun-
try, and probably In the capacity Of sailor.
The crews OF incoming vessels were closely
watched, and, through the instrumen tally OF

track Of Brown, but not before the Ropes had
reached this port aud discharged her crew.
Bernhard went to the shipping commissioners
office and there, through the means of pho
tograph, was able to trace and arrest Brown.
AT first he denied his guilt but seeing that
such denials were Of no avail, he finally made
confession. deputy marshal from Iowa
was present when the arrest was made, and

What Explorer Stanley Has Done.

The London common council recently voted
q resolution OF thanks TO Mr.. ii. M. Stanley.
Mr.. Pearsc Morrison said on the occasion: HE
united all the tribes along the Congo river
into native confederation under the flag and
auspices Of the International association. He
assisted as one Of the delegates Che being q
ference, at the conclusion OF which the ex-
plored regions Of Africa ION which he had
thrown light by his travels across the cont.
nent In lS74-67, and which he had subsequent
ly developed) were recognized by the European
powers as the independent state OF the Congo.
Eight years previously barbarian OF the
grossest form was prevalent, and the maraud-
Ing Arabs raided for slaves. These regions
were now under the influence OF light and
civilization, Stanley having planted several
stations for the purpose. The river which he
descended In 1877 was now policed by armed
steamers, and seven hundred miles OF navi-
cation had been thrown open TO commerce.
At various places there were missionary
settlements and schools in fair state
OF progress. Trading companies, encouraged
by the peaceful character OF the county had
established themselves at Stanley Pool, and
their steamers were exploiting this immense
and fertile region. There were now five lines
Of steamers running to the Congo per month,
and telegraphc cable was being laid along
the west coast Of Africa, which would reach
the Congo settlement. Arrangements were
being made for the construction OF u railway
TO pass the eataracts, and, II successful, the
Congo basin would, on account OF Its great
wealth and variety OF tropical climate, become
q superior Brazil. From 1879 to 1884, when
Mr.. Stanley completed his labors, and bought
the concessions granted by over -four hundred
native chiefs, there was not one shot fired;
and, as the state had 100000 square miles,
inhabited by over 30,000,000 people, 1t had
been grand victory over barbarlsm without
the guilt OF blood that had too often stained
the trumphs OF ciyilizing enterprises. Mr..
Stanley had received the thanks Of the great
learned societies OF London, Paris Vienna,
New York, and elsewhere, and 1t would be
fitting compliment II the corporation confer
red upon him the freedom OF the city for the
great and everlasting benefits he had confer

TEXAS LYNCHING.
James Howard Taken From Jail and
Hanged at.Midnight.

TFxARKANA, Tex, Dec. 1s.-James Howard,
aged IS years, was taken from jail here at
midnight Of the 18th, by a masked mob, by
whom he was carried short distance below
town aud hanged to a railroad trestle. How
ard was arrested Wednesday on a warrant
sworn out by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Win
chew, charging him with maltreatlng his wife,
who /, scarcely IA years old Howard and his
wife were married last July. Mrs. Howard
tells the story OF the atroclous brutal
ity on the part Of her husband. She says he
frequently tied her feet together, while she was
in state Of nudity, and hanging her
up by the feet, beat her numerically and
threatened to kill her II she told any one OF his
cruelties. On the first day Of November How
ard took common branding iron, used to
brand live stock and heating it red hot brand
ed large letter "H" on his wlfe's person
In two places while she was tied to the bed.
After suffering several weeks from the effects
of these burns, Mrs. Howard told her mother
what had happened with the result that How

Heroes or BaIaKIava.

It has long been the habit of the survivors
Of the immortal Balaklava charge TO celebrate
the anniversary Of that deadly ride by din
ner. and IL has hitherto been the commcndable
practice of the principle English railway com
panies to grant the veterans free passes to and
from their yearly banquet The tax can never
have been very severe one on the companies
finances. Year by year it has diminished, and
in the nature Of things 1t must before very
long die out. Under the circumstances II
seems ungracious, even In these days OF les
sened dividends, to withdraw this small privi-
lege from the heroes who shared In one Of the
most splendid deeds ever performed by Eng
lishmen. The annual dinner with their old
comrades Is great matter TO the men, and the
few shillings railway fare may prevent many
OF them from attending. 1t seems poor
economy on the part Of the wealthiest corpora

Independence in Politics.

The entire tendency of the times is toward
independence Of thought and action In poiitl-
cal matters and, though the general enamel
patton Of the people from machine politics,
practical politicians and partisan organs
comes slowly, 1t Is coming surely. II
is not the success of this party or that, Of this
ticket or that, but Of the particular candidate
whose candidacy promises the more honest adj
ministration OF the Office for which he has
been nominated. 1t Is good government, not
party supremacy that is 10 be The political
issue Of the near future. The revolution OF
1884, which was but the common protest OF
intelligent patriotic citizens against forcing
an improper candidate into the office OF
president, will not go backward. Civil service
reform is TO be wrought out TO a successful
conclusion at the ballotbox BY the Independent
voter, who has determined that the law OF the
election OF the flttest shall be the law Of the
land. Philadelphia Tslsgyaph.
