On last Thursday CaUathe

Knights of Pythias, of Bed CUnsd,
visited by the grand chancellor of the
Jurisdiction of Nebraska, Mr. J. C Mc
Kaugbton, a protmismmt bank official
of Brownville. The order Is fast gain
ing presidence over tbe land as one of
the most benevolent and flourishing
institutions in America, mad from close
adherence to and teachings of Friend
ship, Charity and Bswevoknce has
attracted the attention of the musses,
and as a consequence large numbers
are seeking admission within its
mye-
tic vales, and to-day the
mem-
bersbip in the United States
and Canada alonejreaches an aggregate
of 300,000, picked from among our best
citisens, and this, too, from a member
ship twenty two years ago of only five.
In Nebraska there are '.about 3000
Knights, aud it becomes the duty of
the grand chancellor to visit each
lodge once a year, and hence his visit
to Bed Cloud. After spending a few
social hours with the brethren the Bed
Cloud Knights tendered the grand
chancellor a banquet at Lauterbach's
restaurant. It "was a very pleasant
event anu win ne remembered by ev
ery Knight present, who will be al
pleased to meet tbe grand chancellor.
A Worthy ApfoiKTMiLST On last
Saturday, our worthy and highly es
teemed citizen and friend, Charles
Buschow. treasurer of Webster county,
received word from Lincoln that he
had been appointed secretary by Wm.
Leese, on the board of railway com
missioners for the State of Nebraska,
pursuant to a law enacted during the
session of the last Tgeneral assembly,
with a salary of two thousand dollars
per annum. Mr. Buschow has been
treasurer-of Webster county' for four
years 'and during that time has made
one eT the most efficient and careful
officers in the state, and we believe
will be found just the man to till the
position which he has been called up
on to fill for the great state of Nebras
ka, a most important one indeed, both
for the people and the corporations
with which he and the other commis
sioners will have to deal largely. The
CuiEr takes a pride in mentioning the
fact that the Bepublican Valley has
been recognised as a prominent factor
in the future of Nebraska, and believes
that on no man could the appointment
better have fal'en than ou County
Treasurer Buschow, who will be alive
to the interests of the people of the
valley and entire state, and having a
knowledge of the burdens often placed
on the poor man, will use his utmost
endeavors to correct them, as far'as it
lies in his power to do so. Tbe Chief
congratulates the good brother over
his appointment, and bespeaks for
him success 'and prosperity. During
Mr. Buschow's absence with his new
duties Mr Frank Buschow, of Blue
Hill, will be acting treasurer, having
been deputized for that purpose, and
has entered upon the duties of his of
fice. Frank will make a good officer,
and his selection was a wise one on
the part of the county treasurer.
The Slate Journal says of the rail
road commissioners: "Mr Gere is
editor-in-chief and one of the proprie
tors of the State Journal, as most of our
readers know. Mr. Buschow, is one of
the leading fjerman citizens of Web
ster county, of which he has been
treasurer for two successive terms. He
was re-elected at the last county elec
tion, his name being on both tbe anti
monopoly and republican tickets. Mr
Cowdreyka well known citizen of
Platte county, where he has been en
gaged in the stock and real estate bus
iness for severallyears. He has recent
ly been in the office of Judge Post, col
lector of internal revenue. A room
will be fitted up for the use of the com
missioners, at the east end of the capi
tol on the second floor.
Tae Naval Caietsale,
Congressman Laird has concluded
to throw tbe appointment of a naval
cadet from the Second congressional
district open to competitive examina

Puma, Chiae, March 2fc IMS.
Ifcmr Jefiter md Virads- Perhaps
it may be of interest to this side, and
to know that we are still in tbe enjoy
ment of peace, that tbe Franco Chinese
war has not yet afflicted us here in the
nerth as it haa thus Car been confined
to the southern border, where they
have bt-ea fighting in the open porta.
Thus far it has been quite enough for
the French and baa rendered it aelfevi
dent that with their preaeut forces they
are unable to gain entrance to Chiaa
much less force her to accept anv of
her propositions. The power of China
is iu her numbers as well as in her
advantages in position for defence, and
not in skilled soldiery. hilst we are
free fr jm the immediate ilk of the
war. we can but feel the unsettled
condition of things which exists to a
certain extent throughout the country.
No one haa yet been able to tell just
where it will end. It is clearly to be
seen that China is preparing for her
defence, already having great armiee
thrown around the nortn, aad heavy
forts at the mouth of the Pei-ho will
prevent the encmv gaining access to
the river which would endanger the
seat of government. If it were possi
sible I would like to give you some
idea in regard to a Chinese soldier and
then you may imagine what a tremen
duous army they make. Whilst these
whose duty it is to guard and protect
the Emperor in andaround the forbid
den city are armed with bow and ar
rows. Ttie men of the field of active
service aie armed with old fiutee or
matchlocks, then there is another kind
I do not know what you would call it
unless it is a walking cannon, it is so
large and long that it takee two men
to carry it and a third to apply the
fuse. The cavalry are mounted either
uponjhorses or mules. The veteran is
perched up on the of a high saddle,
which is preveted from slipping for
ward or backwards by being securely
anchored to tbe mule, his long gun
strapped to his saddle his sword and
(pine)at his side, a large whip in hand
they ride pell- mell like a drove of
cattle through the streets. In regard
to their military tactics displayed on
the field I am not prepared to say. Tbe
penalty incurred on chief commander
whose army suffers defeat during any
engagement is death, conseqdeutly
if a battle is lost the commander is very
liable to take the advantage of the op
pertunitv and make his escape to
parts unknown. Before leaving the
subject I awieh to do justice to tbe
Chinese by saying that their armies on
the border and southern coasts are
quite Jdiffcrent from those I have si
ready described as the latter are well
equipid both in large and small fire
arms the government having purchas
ed large supplies from foreign manu
facturers. They have purchased
American arms of Remington dc Son
Ilion, New York. The sudden and un
expected death on last Sunday night
of the Hon. Sir Henry Parks the British
Minister of Peking greeted our ears
and served to cast a gloom over the
minds of all who knew him, and for
the lastquarter of a century he has
lived to enjoy the honors of nations
and subjects" as reward to him for his
honor and bravery during his prison
life m this same city. Those who are
familiar with English history can re
call to mind. Lord Klein's second Em
bassy to China in I860 in which it waa j
necessary lor mm w unug vuiua w
terms by the active measures of war,
and aftercapturing of Taau forts made
highway to Teisstsin and finally to Pe
king. It was during their march to
tnis.aty that the treachpryOf the Chi
nese' were manfested and under a nag
of truce they captured some dozen
prisoners, one of the two survivors was
the illuntrieus Sir Harry Parks,and just
how a man could endure such brutal
and crual torture from the hands of
the Chinese aa he did and yet main
tain his courage is a question that
but two have been able to answer It
will be quite enough to tell you that
they were after having their hands
lashed behind them, thrown into two
wheeled carts which were driven at
full speed over a rough road tor twelve
miles when they were brought to tbe
Hall of punisnment here in this city
where they one after another perished
in agouy. Parks being the only one
able to speak the language stoutly re
fused any conciliation in his own fa
vor other than that offered to his fellow
prisoners, but finallv he and Loch
were released by a Mandarin just two
hours before their death sentence came
from the Emreror. and tney by that
time bad been gladly welcomed
their comrads quarters, who by
into
tbe
23 davs that had elapsed since
their
capture had succeeded in taking
aession of the emperors .summer
pos-
pal
ace. Soon negotiations were entered
into the treaty signed, peace restored
Parks appointed as England's Minister
to this place where he discharged his
duty to the entire satisfaction of all
who knew him. Thus ewded the life
of a great and glorious saan.

death meant more than a seal to prin
ciple. It meant self denials and hard
ships; it meant empty chairs and sor
rowing hearts; it meant lonely hours,
not for a day, but rive, ten. twenty
years; but it meant a seal of love to
country that can only be broken when

stood on the Hold of strife, amid the
groans of the dying and the imploring
cries of the suffering, and thought of
the lonely home and hearts, the wails
and tear of anguish when the record
of tbe day's doings should be made up
and the column should bo read under
this title, "List of the Killed." in
mountain cottage, valley home or city
mansion. But sacrifice was not all on
the side of loyalty. Our mi-guided cit
zens of the south made heroic sacri
fices, and southern homes like north
ern homes were shrouded in the gloom
of tbe deepest sorrow, because of the
loss of loved ones thai should no more
treurn. I will mention a sad incident
at the battle of Franklin in Tennessee.
It was my lot to be in command of the
skirmish line, both beforehand after the
battle. Among the general officers
killed in the front of my command was
Brigadier General Adams. 1 did what
I could for him till death relieved him
from suffering, and then I secured his
personal effects, among Iwhich I found
a letter of recent date from bis wife.

We remember our loyal dead be

is ibr you alone, my fellow soldiers and
comrades of the Grand Army of the
Republic This vast concourse of peo
ple can eloee their- ears for five min
ute if they like. We remember them
through two decades of years with an
affection far deeper than can be ex
pressed in a sentiment. We kept the
step with them on the march, through
the dark and stormy night we shared
the one ponho, which was barely large
enough to cover one. When the sup
ply train failed us, and the chickens
gave out, the only remaining hard
tack scarcely thicker than a shingle
was split into, Uiat two weary hungry
men mirbt have a ration before we
pillowed our heads on our brogmns,
and tucked ourselves away in the
rapes of our overcoats for a night's
rest to be lulled to sleep by the music
of tho minnies. We exchanged word
of hope or despair as we met charge
