She was Mary Dun, daughter of William
Dun, of Kentucky, who afterward became
citizen OF Ohio. The picture shows
Mrs. Thurman as she now appears 10 the
almost innumerable visitors who stream
to the candidates modest mansion. 1t
is said that she is now reconciled to his
nomination, which was against her
wishes. The old couple had arranged q
plan for more complete retirement, aud
politics upset it all. No wonder it took
the worthy housewife some time to set
over the disarrapgement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thurman have two mar
ried daughters. Their son, Allen w.
Thurman, occupies part of the double
house known in Columbus as "tbe
Thurman House," and the palmer half
of which is occupied by tho candidate
and his wife. -Four grandchildren en-
liven the double dwelling, one OF which.
Caldwell Thurman, is the especial pet
and playmate OF his honored grand
father.
The judges fortune is said TO BIO half
million dollars. His wife aud he live
very simply, not even keeping horse,
and walk TO service Mt the Protestant
Episcopal church. Both Of them are
well aud happy. as such old young
lovers may be expected to be.

In the mean time Brown went back to
Detroit, and few days after his arrival
married Mary A. Benjamin, who had
neat little dressmalEing business. She
supported him we'll, and he lived with
her several weeks. Then he left, and
Mary found that he had taken with him
all her hard-earned savings. Her house
and stock he had Inortgsged, and she
was completely ruined. This was where
the poly samist made serious mistake,
and his performances with Dressmaker
Benjamin will land him in Jail for either
bigamy or theft. if not for both Miss
Benjamin was content to pay her hus-
bands running expenses out of the
profit Of her little shop, and
had he forsaken his abnornal
thirst for multiplicity of wives he would
have still been Comfortably maintained
under Miss Benjamin's roof. He was
happy enough, bat his old bigamous dis
position got hold Of him again, and when
he left he gathered up all he could lay
his hands uson. he had supposed that
abe, like his other brides, would mourn
his departure bnt make no great effort TO
follow kim. Instead OF giving up in
despair and throwing herself into the
river. the plucky little woman started on
a search for her husband. She had no
money to pay her travelling expenses, so
she took the agency for patent corset
and plating machine, and, selling her
goods as she went, followed Brown from
one town to another on his track, some
times at fault, sometimes for lack OF
funds unable to 20 where she knew that

intentions. The form wss prescribed
when conditions were different from what
they now are. There is in the Britisher
strand of Toryism that is opposed to
change either in opinions or conditions.
The Jacobites chung to the Stuarts long
after the name aud claim of that unfor-
tunate family became a myth, and 1t
would not be surprising to find English
men of the present day who are Jacobites
in all but name. In the matter of be-
coming American citizens Englishmen are
moved not by love of American instItu-
tons, but by self interest. The Irishman,
German, Russian or italian who becomes
6 citizen is politically factor where the
ulnaturRlized Engl.shman is a CIPHER.
THIS, of course, places the later at q
disadvantage, and he is awakening to the
fact that his love OF country is practically
disfranchisiDg him.

ilege. The two companies mentioned
own together, perhaps, near 100000
scres Of land, scattered over the Panhen-
die in checker board fashion. Their atti-
tude puts sn effective estoppel upon
the operations OF the state leass
law so lar as 1t might sfsct the school
lands alternating with the possessions Of
the two companies. The pasture man

ing under the syndicates be pitted against
the lessees of the state, but happily such
q notifying spectacle will be sverted by
the prompt and emphatic reputation by
the land companies Of the leasing system
They will not lease, hence the state can
not lease within their boundaries.
1t will be difficult for the friends of the
lease law lobby to give a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of this action on the part of
two large land syndicates, which will
avert the suspicion that, after all
the noisy defamation about the
children's grass, the lease system
is least calculated of all
policies proposed and pursued to pro-
duce respectable revenue to the school
fund. 1t is hardly necessary to affirm
that the New York and Texas Land Com
pany is not Stree grass" corporation,
snd that it has no sympathy with "tree
grass" ideas. It is no libel on the pur-
poses and aims of the company to assert
that it is conducted for revenue only. 1t
did not reject the ducsts of the pasture
men to further any political scheme. 1t
has no candidates for Congress;
it's sole mission is to go manage and dis
pose of mighty domain IS to best con-
serve its own selfish interests. Its course
deserves the careful study Of those
worthy patriots who are go anxious to do
something for the dear little school chill
dren.
The policy of locating railroad grants
in alternate sections was adopted to avert
the dangers Of single ownership Of large
and solid tracts OF land. The policy bids
fair to accomplish it's purpose, but the
irony of fate makes the corporation hold
ers its agents, and the state-the conserV-
ator OF the public weal-its enemy.

BRITISR AMERICANS.

There is movement On foot in the
east called the British American Associa-
tor, the object of which is to induce
English and Scotch men to renounce their
allegiance to Her Most Gracious M,iesty
the Queen, and all other foreign princes,
potentstes, ETC., and become good and
loyal citizens of the United States OF
America, ready at all times to fight under
Uncle Sans fig and 'smash" the blsrs-
ted Britisher on land or sea. English and
Scotch men are very slow about becoming
American citizens. They come to Ameri-
ca, engage in business, make money and
all that. but they cling with unusual ten
acitY to their original allegiance. They
like America well enough to live and die
here, but they do not want to renounce
their allegiance TO the mother country,
partly from conservatism and partly from
that national pride which teaches an Eng
lishman that he is little better than any
one else and enables him, "in spite of all
temptations to belong to other nations, ITO
remsin true to the land OF his birth.

rights, and it will prove to be power in
getting equitable laws passed for their
