JOHN N. EDWARDS.
From the Kansas City Journal

From the Kansas City JournsI.I
Else " here the death of Mai. Ed
wards, Tor more than twenty years at
| various times connected with the press
of Kansas City, is announced. At this
writing we are not i'm possession of the
particulars attending or preceding his
decease, and il is here we only desire
to lay flower on the bier of child of
genus, whose life story is as STRANGE
and wierd as the inspiration of his pen,
lie was In every respect the result of
birth and environment, and never for
day changed the habits of thought i'm
which he grew up. All this rush, bus
tie and change we call modern progress
was new and strange world to him
and of which he never became part
His literary inspirations were those
or romance and of the age of ro-
mance. He was a knight of the an
tique order aud wrote of knights and
their ideals. III he ever drew upon the
more modern for his chivalric ideas IL
was OF the Napoleon era and the Ideals
OF the old guard. Some of the finest
pen pictures that have graced contem-
porary journalism, was Fl ON his pen,
and his admirers were in larger num-
Der than any of his contemporaries.
We always thought and often told
him that the political newspaper was
not the field he should have selected,
as his mental organization and brilliant
word painting were best suited to the
and it has always been a re-
gret that he did not choose that field.
His was singularly gentle nature, and
one that knew no fault with his friends
and brOoked no criticism of those he
esteemed. The finest Judgment we
nave ever heard passed npon him was
hat he was child of the twelfth cen
ury born in the nineteenth. Ii seems
but it describes the pc
uIiar genius of our dead friend.

THE LATE JOHN N. EDWARDS.

FROM lne hanSaS CITY Globe.
John N. Edwards died yesterday.
Throughout the length and breadth OF
this state and scattered throughout this
country are men who will grow sad as
they hear of his demise Death silent
ly, swiftly stole into the din and clamor
of the world about him, and led him
away. Silent forever is the pen from
Which elOqnence always famed - a
natural eloquence such as the wild
wood bird sings forth in its morning
carols. Lis characteristic writings,
startling for their boldness and orig
Inality, stirring Tor their pathos and
genuine feeling, piercing with sharp
satire or soothing with melOdious meas
ures, emanaling from heart at high
tide until the man and his pen seemed
one, will be seen no more in the press.
Many Of his works will be read and re-
read-but most were written for the
day which is past. John N. Edwards
is dead.
AS for the man he was man indeed.
AS he wrote, he spoke, he acted; he
was loyal TO his friends. AS softly,
tremendously, sweetly as his measures
formed themselves on paper-for he
wrote in measures so his generosity
Dt heart and mind made themselves
felt to those about him. Every time
he met man he made friend. He
had few enemies and even those were
to admire him for his fear
essness.

A Secret.

Meredith Nicholson. In indianapolis Jour.
nal
He said: mo one shall ever learn
This secret that my heart must keep;
No matter how the words may burn,
No niatter how my heart may lean,
No one shall know love her so.
No one shall know, no one shall knowl"
But though his lips were tightly sealed
The very birds his secret guessed,
For in his eyes il was revealed,
And In his face IL was confessed
"I love her so. love her so,
But none shall know, but nOne-shall know Z"
The wind soon found Il aud ran OH
To tell IL to the wondering hIwers,
And bear 1t to the gates of dawn.
Where lOIter all the coming hours,
That they might know he loved her so,
That thev might know, that they might
know!
Some time all secrets must unfold,
And soon did he "A listener seek,
To whom his story might be told,
Before the laughing world should speak
And tell her. III she did not know!
He loved her so, he loved her so!

In Memoriam.
BY EUGENE FIELD.

A little peach In the orchard grew
A little peach of an emerald hue;
Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew 1t
grew.
One day, passing that orchard through,
That little peach dawned on the view
or Johnny Jones and his sister Sue--them
two.
Up at that peach a club they threw
Down from the stem on which IL grew
Fell that peach of an emerald hue-Mon dieu.
Sue took bite and John a chew
And then the trouble began TO brew
Trouble the doctor couldn't subdue-tOO true.
Under the where the dasies grew
They planted John and his SISTER Sue,
And their little souls to the angels flew boo
hoo.
What of that peach Of an emerald hue,
Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew
All, well. its mission On earth is through
adieu.

THE TOWN MEETING.

The dog-fght which occurred at the town meeting yesterday was not the only interest ing thing in the proceedings It was, as a whole, a more interesting town meeting than has been held here for many years. There was free discussion and sharp criticism, and in many respects the meeting was what such a meeting ought to be.
 Reform made progress when the salary of the town agent was fixed at $2,300. It also made progress when the town clerks salary was let alone. Still further and more rapid progress it made when the investigating committee which reported in favor of eon- solidation was voted fair pay for it's services And it just jumped when Attorney White calmly declared that he didn't want and wouldn't take any pay for his work as 8 member of the committee. Two thousand copies of the report are soon to be distrib- uted, and it may be seen by all who read it that it is worth paying well for.
 The free text book matter was disposed of in accordance with the vote at the school election. It is not quite certain that that vote meant to include the High school in the free book system, but the town meeting set- tied the matter.
 These and the other proceedings showed that we can have town meeting in New Haven when the people feel so disposed. It has been one of the standing arguments of the consolidationists that town meetings here don't amount to much. Yesterdays meeting did amount to much.

or farms; but there is a somnolence in the spot that represses energy. They live idyl- lie lives for peasants. Their needs are few. The earth is bounteous. Every one is sim pie, honest, contented, Thay scarcely know old age. Some of the conditions making this possible-the climate, the thermal wa ters, the languorous beauty of the surround- ings, and the peacefulness of the spot, make it a wonderful place for the ailing. A few from Lisbon came first. Then the aristocra- cy of the island began to come. Finally an adventuresome Englishman or American penetrated the mountains of St. Michael. And 50 the world began to know about the Furdas Valley and gave it fame. When our countrymen can get to it as easily as to Len- don much of it's quiet beauty will go, but there will be @ newer and greater Baden Baden here. The climate will make this SO. It ranges between seventy-five degrees in summer and ffty.two degrees in wintez--s magnificent bathing house, to which the va rious:: thermal and mineral waters are brought, has been built; and you may bathe here for- ever, free! That is the most remarkable thing in all the Azores. Living expenses are so low one is ashamed to call them an equiv- alent; you have summer in winter, spring in summer, and the delights of tropic life in verdure and fruit the year round; while in all southern Europe that which so entrances the traveller through the picturesque in peas. ant life and ways, cannot surpass what may at any moment be seen and felt from your quaint old Furnas balcony; for

JEFFKRsON DAVIS.

The death of Jefferson Davis removes the central figure in the greatest mistake that was ever made in this country. Almost twenty-fvs years ago that mistake, so far as he was concerned, came to an ignomini- ous end in his capture near Irwinsville, Georgia, by detachment of General Wil- son's cavalry. When he was captured he expected to be shot, and when he was not he had reason to expect to be hanged as soon as the preliminary judicial proceedings could be gone through with. There was . de- mand for his death. He was indicted for treason, but he was never tried, one of the reasons being the impossibility of finding jury in Virginia which could be relied upon to treat the case fairly. Then, too, some of the leaders of opinion in the North strongly argued that 1t would be very un- wise to attempt to punish him, as he was no more guilty than others who were free. Finally he was brought before the court at Richmond on @ writ of habeas corpus and admitted to bail in the amount of $1O0, 1000, the first name on his bail-bond being that of Horace Greeley. That it was wise to Eclcaso HUI ID AoW BoAoA"hy "uAAsGouy though at that time those who looked upon him as the chief cause and support of the war, could not feel that he ought to be al- lowed to escape all punishment for his treason. After his release he became more popular in the South than ever, being looked upon as the representative of "the last cause" As time went on he became about all there was of that cause, and has never lost his hold on the esteem and affection of the southerners. He wrote book to prove that he was right in being secessionist, and whenever opportunity offered he "ared the southern heart" But he did no harm, and of late years his sayings and doings have not attracted much attention.
 There is no doubt that Mir. Davis was one of the ablest men of his time. Probably nobody could have done more to save the confederaoy than he did. But his failure of course destroyed his career, and 1t was wise in him not to make any attempt to take any part in public affairs. The lapse of time greatly notified the execration in which he was held in the North, and the South always looked upon him as a hero, and to some extent as @ martyr. How en- during bis fame will be remains to be seen. Representatives of lost causes are not always or often, given credit for the greatness that may be theirs

or the spot where the hair had been in hap. pier days-with mixture consisting of cod liver oil and the juice of onions. Dr. Gay- nome thoughtfully remarks that the remedy is sometimes distressing to the patients friends and neighbors.
 Those who live in the region of natural gas have generally come to realization of the fact that they are soon to lose the many ad- vantages growing out of the use of this fuel. Such scientific experts as Prof. Shaler and the State geologists of Pennsylvania and Ohio unite with the practical operators in this natural product, and agree that the SUD- ply will last but from two to six years longer. The situation has already become serious in Pittsburg. Many of the manufac- gas fields, in the hope that they may post pone the evil day, while others are taking out their natural gas appliances, preparing to accept the inevitable.
 The Springfield Republican very properly remarks: If Senator Edmunds' object in in- troducing bill looking to the founding of 8 national university at Washington is to counteract the influence of the Roman Gath olic university there, the scheme cannot be said to have had an suspicious inception. There is a deal of difference between an in- stitution of learning and an institution for religious teaching. The demand for better university work in this country is becoming moro and more pronounced. We have so- called universities in plenty, but the real thing is but in it's infancy here. Our sd- vanced scholars and specialists are not satis- fled until they have taken courses in Eng hand or Germany. There is no consensus of opinion among educators whether private or government endowment is the wiser plan for the coming American university, but it is very doubtful whether Washington is the place for one supported and controlled by congress. It would furnish fine combina- tion for political maneuvering.
 As people in this country get riches they want more fun. It is reported that rich New York gentleman who has fine country place in New Jersey has sent to England for hunting hawks and trainer, his object be- ing to introduce in this country the royal and ancient sport of falconry. It seems some- what strange that the favorite sport of per sons of wealth and leisure in all countries and all former ages should have fallen into disuse in our own time. There was once more money in breeding and training hawks than horses, and the former brought higher prices. A few centuries ago ladies of rank and wealth carried hawks about with them and treated them as pets Their chiei occu- patton consisted in making hoods for their hawks, coverings to protect them from the cold and wet, and cards to attach to them when they were sent out for game. They dis- cussed the merits of their hawks when they made calls aud visits, and made wagers on their ability to catch birds on the wing and to overtake animals In their flight.
