It may uot be uninteresting, to our reader* to again puruse the famous farewell addresa of Gen. M. Jeff Thompson to his army on surrender­ ing them to the federal authorities at Jacksonport, Arkansas, in the spring of 1866. Genoral Thompson's speech differs very materially in style from that of General Washington on dis­ banding Ills army after the revolu­ tionary war, but still it is the char­ acteristic of General TliompHon, and it would be a good thing to cut out and paste in a scrap book as a historical document: "Many of the 8,000 men 1 now see around me, very uiiuy of you have been skulking for the lust three years in the swamps within a few m'les of your o\vn homes on skulking duty--and during that time have not seen your children, 1 see many faces about me that have uot been seen by mortal man for the last three years ; and what have you been doing nil that"time? Wl;y, you have been lying in the swamps till the moss has grown .six implies long on your bucks; aud such nt^fn call them­ selves 'chivalrous sohuers. A few- weeks ago General/Reyuolds sent a flag of truce to my headquarters, and I sent out to gather a respectable force to meet those officers, and not oife of you responded, A few days later, when Colonel Davis and Captain Bennett, of General Dodge's staff bore dispatches to me from that General. I again at­ tempted to call about me enough of me io make a respectful show, and how many of these brave 8,000 men report­ ed to the call? One sore-eyed man in green goggles. But yon rally like brave And gallant men around Uncle Sam's commissary stores, aud now I come to surrender you, and hope yon will make better citiceus than you hare «oldier». rvlnff Woman st Iowa City Dies at Last.

Miss flattie frenell, fchotias insanely insist­ ed on self-destruction, died at sixteen | minutes to 1 o'clock this afternoon, having lived forty-seven days And for­ ty-five minutes without nourishment other than water. She was at her death 52 years 4 months aud 11. day6 old. She dratik no water during the night nor morning, taking none Iti the last twelve hours of life. Though apparently stupid and unconscious, when aroused she Understood and replied. About 9 o'clock, by signs she made her sisters understand that she wished to be raitfed up higher upon the pillow, and indicated just the position she wished to occupy. She lay apparently quiet nnd easy, with no pain or anxiety.-- Though her eyes were closed, she ap­ parently was not asleep, aud probably understood the conversation carried on about her bed. Her respirations were long aud new and then with almost panting force. The pulse was wholly tin percept! hie. At half-past ll^fW- Aylsworth said to her -Sister 'Hattle. you're almost gone." Her face was ..peaceful and calm, a.« she quietly slmt her Augers'by her side, her sign for "yes." At noon it was evident that her end was near and the fa-uily gathered at her bedside. There was no visible cliaugo iu her countenance or the slightest tremor of muscle, when she ceased to breathe, as for a few minutes the family - worn uncertain whether she was really dead. A post­ mortem examination was had. Tht* body was much emaciated and weighed only fifty-two pounds. Before she re­ fused to eat ahe weighed about 100.-- The doctors say the appearance of the tody indicated death by starvation, but they are surprised at the generally natural condition of the organs. The funeral will take , place to-morrow afternoon au«l will be private.. . THIS WRONG CAWWL*. Among the ninny amusing uatlotH of tfie Rnssinn Imperii! family, related in the late Car Bender's' memoirs, is i the following highly .characteristic ;,j story of the eecentHc Grmtd Duke Con- % stantine.Czar Alexander's eldest ancle. ; While residing at Warsaw, Const ant Ine •'* gave a splendid banquet to a tram be r of. >J ereat Polish noble*, to each of. whom* | at the conclusion of the feast, an ordin- i-J ary tallow candle was served oia a plate V J by ea<*h of the attendant lackeys. As VJ soon as all his guests were supplied with these peculiarly unappetizing ob-_V jects, the Grand Duke, mho had given orders that, an imitation candJr, ad­ mirably executed in marchpane should ' ^ be placed upon his plate, rose froja his ^ seat and exclaimed: "Gentlemen, let us eat to the honor of Russia, tl^jc favor-. \ i(e comestible of my country. Look at '1 me. this Is the way to do It." So say- ^ iug he drew back his head, opened his mouth wide and inset te^ therein two inches or so of the dainty in queH- .j tion. As he c!oa$d his teeth, however, the expression of his «ountenaaoe : v| suffered au extraordinary change. One f of the nMilerriefHfding in hUimiuedt- " 'f, tile vicinity had managed tr> substitute || his own gen»d lie taltow candle for ths - marchpane Imitation sut before the ^ Grand Duke, who, nst wishing to be- tray himself before his guests, fouud : himself condemned to chew at least ' 6ue copious mo.ithful of good Russia \ J tallow, as au example to all t he victims of his detcstible je*t, none of whom, of course, dared to abstain from doing as the terrible Const an tiue did. It i* Ipi needless to say that the dexterous ap- proprlator of the marchpane candle, j while devouring that toothsome article with a joyous heart, but filed suspi- ; clou by the most hidious visual contor- - : tiuus expressive of loathing and uausoa* WSTEvery department of our Nation­ al Government as adjusted by the con­ stitution of 17S9, although formed for a population of three millions. «eems capable of inditinite expansion-- equally well adapted to one of fjfry million* or five hundred millions with the single exception of U. S. Supreme Court. The Constitution declares thai tlieir shv H be "one HttfwetiKr evidently meaning that th&re »hall be only one; and that to thiK nil cases within certain limftntions shall be bright for final jurisdicti6n. Now the result has beeu .tliat already cases accumulate more rapidly than it is pos­ sible for the Court to dispose of thein. In 1877 there were 1C83 cases on the docket of which 411 were disposed of leaning 6*2 undisposed of. Iu 1878 There were IIS3 cases of which 37® were disposed of, leaving 754. In 1S79 there were 1,197 cases of which 406' were con­ sidered, leaving 79!; am! in 1880 there were 1149 cases docketed of which 198 Ind been disponed of la«t Februar3", leading960. The trouble, cost and loss involved iu this thousand cases involv­ ing immense interests, must be enor­ mous and it Is time l'or Congress to de­ vise some remedy. It is not easily ac­ complished. but it is time it was done In 16Q1, when Diphtheria ragodin the Oheuango Valley, N. Y..

The old-line publishers have.' very naturally, not been well pleased with the now famous enterprise. "The Literary Revolution;" aud in deprecia­ tion of its character liavo laid special stress upou the claim that (n cheapen- hjg bonks so vastly it Is.against the interests of American authors. The Revolution boldly meets this assertion by statements as follows: 1st, That they are already paying to American authors more money thsii any other publishing house that is less than twenty-live years established. 2d. That American authors randy receive from publ ishers a copy right exceeding 10 per cent upou the retail price of their books actually sold 8d. That at least one-half, and probably more nearly three-fourths^ of the* books published 1»3* American authors have been published at the author's expense, the publishers furnishing no money, and paying no copyright, but them­ selves receivings large percentage tip- on sales made, 4th, That they propose hereafter tu pay to American authors for acceptable manuscripts a copyright of 15 per cent, instead of 10 per cent, and they claim that their low prices, aud tin me use sales resulting therefrom, are far more in the interest of authors than much larirer copyright on the commonly limited numliiu- of sales-- "One thousand nooks, pro tit 81.00 each S\ ,000.
