The death OF T. T. Earnum. which
occurred At his home in Bridgeport. Conn,
yesterday, removes from the scene of life's
activitics--and 10 him life was fun of

characters that this country has ever pro-
duced. And in his particular line he was
prc-cminently the greatest man of modern
times.
BY many Barnum was regarded as an
i,npostor and a fraud. He himself appro-
priatcd and seemed to take pride in the
title Of "the great American humhus."
But IL may be questioned wheth er either

whether the truth of history were not

A warning may be given the sympa-
thetic reader that he should discriminate
between genuine indignation at the hard
ships. imposed upon prisoners in Siberia
and cleverly concocted stories in the inter-
est of very dramatic but money-making
lecturer, who often succeeds in imposing
upon the New York newspapers. Those
thrilling narratives are telegraphed all
over the country. There is no means of
really determining their reliability and
they are published in good faith. They
should be received, however, with due
heed TO this caution.

1t is Of course expected that Eastern
newspapers will sheer at senatorial excur-
sions to the Pacific coast and elsewhere,
but it is surprising to hear Western jour-
nal join the chorus, and especially one
printed in this state. The Telegraph is the
first and We hope the last to gain this dis
tinction. 1t is questionable if the Tele-
graph really thinks the money to be spent
in visiting Washington and inquiring into
her needs viii be thrown away. 1t is more
likely that the advantages of the coming
visits never occurred to the Telegraph, and
that it merely wishes to be smart.

A Letter which Demonstrates What II
Assumes to Deny.

SEATTLE, Wash, April Z, 1S9L
To THE EDITOR: Idesire to correct an error
in your editorial of today on the question Of ap-
pointments to the United States military and
naval academies Colonel John NJ. Wilson, U.
s. Engineers, properly halls from this state.
His family were residents OF Washington City,
and he applied there to Hon. Columbia Lam
caster, delegate in congress from this territory,
for the favor of an appointment to West Point,
which was at his disposal. Mr. Lancaster was
not aware of any application for the position By
any Of his constituents, and consented to APP
point young Wilson upon condition
that he should 60 out to the territory and re-
side there long enough to become citizen nm
der the provisions of the local laws This in
volved at that time . journey of 5000 miles By
way of the lsthmus Of Darien, or more than
double that by way of Cape Horn, but young
Wilson unhesitatingly accepted the conditions
and complied with them, thus exhibiting, when
. mere boy, that resolution and determination
which has since earned for him high promotion
in his corps and distinguished position among
scientific men. Colonel Wilson always alludes
with pride to the fact that he was appointed
from this great state and proves himself friend
of Washington and her citizens whenever occa-
sion demands Yours truly,

The autumn leaves of golden tint
Were coins come freshly from the mint.
The birds were poets sll who sang:
The flowers were bells the iairies rsnr.
And every thing ! saw became
Another, with another name.
So, little folk, my verses are

It is reported that Michigan will devote
her share of the direct tax refund to the
payment of bounties to the veterans who
enlisted prior to 1854. This is on the prin-
ciple of equalizing the states bounty to
her veterans. To those who enlisted in
1864 the state gave heavy bounties. while
those of former years volunteered without
such indueement. 1t is doubtful whether
Michigan could make better use of the
refund than in thus making equal her IA
vors TO her soldiers.
