BBMATOU VAN WYOK has placed himself on record with no uncertain sound. Senator Van Wyok is none of Oaineron'a ' d d literary follows , but ho says what ho thinks , and isn't Afraid of the political consequences. SENATOR. VAN XVYCK'S AD- DRESS. Senator Van Wyck's masterly ad dress to the fanners of Nebraska in augurates a now epoch in this otato. For the first titno in our history a public man , occupying the highest position within the gift of this com monwealth , comes boldly into the arena to grapple w'1 every ' * v'8 sauo of the hour , gives utterance within the hearing of thousands to sentiments that no other public man n Nebraska hai dared express , and assails abuses which no other man occupying his station has over md the courage to denounce. Up to .his day our public men , with very rare exceptions , have cither been numbskulls who had not brains enough ; o conceive an original idea or coward- , y time-servers who did not dare to lave an opinion of their own on any question upon which public sentiment was divided. Like a shrill clarion jlast among the hills and valleys , this 'earless , forcible and irank discussion of the issues that confront the country , moro es- ) ccially the producers of this section and the courageous onslaught against corporate rapacity and aggression will arouse the toiler on the farm and in the workshop , and the tradesman and nanufacturor to political self-asser tion. tion.While While nil men cannot agree with Senator Van Wyck upon every ques tion , his example will hcncetorh bo emulated , and men with ambition for public place will bo compelled to lo express positive views upon ques tions of public interest before they can hope to rise to eminence. Strad dling , fence-riding , trimmers and dodgers will bo banished irom politi cal prominence , while men with posi tive ideas and convictions will bo in demand for places of honor and rust. Senator Van Wyck'a address quite apart from its radical expression , commends itself to every think- ng man , and especially to the armors and workingmen , for its sound advice. Although somewhat ongthy it should bo .carefully read rom beginning to end. It affords uflicient food for reflection even for ho most intelligent and best informed. SENATOR BTJRNSIDE The sudden death of Senator Am- > rose E. Burnsido , which took place Providence , R. I. , on Tuesday , re moves from the scene of action ono of ho bravest of soldiers and staunchest mtriots. Few Americans have given as largo a portion of their lives to the lervico of their country. Born in Liberty , Indiana , in the year 1824 , 10 entered West Point in 1843 and was graduated as a second lieutenant of tba Artillery in 1847 , joining the > rmy in Mexico in time to take part in ho closing scenes of the Mexican war. ? rom 1848 to 1853 ho was stationed at arious pouts and in the campaign of .810-50 ho saw active service with ho Jacarillo Apaches in Now Mexico , receiving a sevens wound. Ho re signed his command in October , 1853 , and from that tinio until 1858 resided n Bristol , U. I. , whore ho engaged in the manufacture of brooch-loading rifles of his own invention. From 1858-1861 General Burnsido devoted his attention to railroading , and occu pied the important position of cashier of the land department and treasurer of the Illinois Central railroad com pany , The firing on Fort Sumptor saw him once moro in Rhode Island , whore , with great rapidity ho organized a regiment of three months' volunteers , and wont to the front as their colonel. Ho distinguished himself in General Patterson's operations in Maryland , and fought through the Manassos cam paign , receiving in August , 1801 , the appointment of brigadier general of United States volunteers , and later that of a major general. During the celebrated North Carolina lina campaign of 18C2 General Burn side did clFcotivo service in organizing the coast division. As commander of the department of North Carolina ho directed the operations at Roanoke Island , Newborn , Macon and Cam- den. Ho commanded the ninth corps at the first battle of Fredericksburg in 18C2 , and fought through the Maryland campaign of that year , commanding the left wing at South Mountain and Antiotam. His'.bravory and vigilance were matchless and led to his selection in November , 18G2 , as commander of the Army of the Potomac , The disastrous battle of Frodorickjburg , 18UH , was followed by the appointment of General Meade to the command of the army in Vir ginia , and Burnsido was transferred to the department of the Ohio. Hero ho waged an active war against Mor gan's raiders , was present at the capture turo of Cumberland gap , and took part in a number of battles which led to the occupation of eastern Tennes see and the surrender of Knoxvillo. General Burnsidos' share in the clos ing battles of the war was by no means inconsiderable. At the head of la's old Ninth corps ho participated in the Richmond campaign of 18C4 , was in the Wilderness , at Spottsyhania , and the siege of Petersburg. Ho resigned his commission on April ID , 1805 , af ter a long and honorable service in which his success had boon by no means commensurate with his ability and bravery. At the conclusion of the war Gen eral IJurnsido ut once entered upon an active professional life as r\ civil engineer. Ho was elected in 180C governor of llhodo Island , and hold the oflico for five years , during which period ho was also the head of several important industrial enterprises. In March , 187f > , ho took his scat in the United States senate ns senator from llhodo Island , which oflica ho held at the time of his death. General Burnsido was a man of heroic mold. lie was n bravo soldier who never flinched from duty or shunned any peril. As a business man ho was honest and honorable. As a republican ho was firm in his opinions and true to his associations. No taint of suspicion rests on the long and honorable career of public service and his demise de prives the state of llhodo Island of a faithful and able representative and the nation of ono of her most dis tinguished public men , IT is claimed that the continued and rapid destruction of our' forests is in a largo degree responsible for the drought and the drying up of many of our water courses. Mr. David G. * Thompson , of Cincinnati , in discuss ing this question , insists that Creator oflorts should bo made to preserve forest's whore they exist , and to culti vate thorn where they do not. Ho says : "How tcrriblo these results may bo soon in the desolation wrought upon Babylon , Thebes , Memphis , and especially upon the people of the Chi nese province of Shan-Li only three years ago , by the loss of their forests. History shows that not a few nations have declined with the disappearance of their forests ; and upon the preservation of our water courses may depend our existence as a nation. While the government ought to protect its own forests , and especially ito mountain forests , it is the farmers and other small landowners ers who can effect the most good ; and every influence possib'lo should bo ex erted to induce them to rcclotho a portion of their denuded lands. In this work the most ofioctivo agency would bo the press , particularly the agricultural press ; and it is to bo hoped that it will agitate the subject until the desired result is brought about. " WE understand that Miss Abbott contemplates substituting a season of four nights in Door Trail for the two nights' engagement in Omaha. Den ver Tribune. Omaha wouldn't regard it as a great calamity if Emma sliould give her the go by. Judging from the fact that with all the oclat of the Tabor Opera House , she has boon playing to empty bonchoa .iu the Col orado capital since the first two or throe nights , wo apprehend Omaha would survive the shock if Miss Ab bott should prefer to waste her sweet ness on the desert air of Door Trail , Jack Rabbit Hollow or Dead Mule's Gulch.

" Iron Prison Discipline- "At the British convict station on the island of Mauritius , " said a gen tleman , much of whose lifo had been passed in examining and comparing the various prison systems of the world , "tho most relentless discipline I have soon anywhere is maintained. This , to a great extent , is necessray , for it would bo difficult to find a more vicious and depraved sot of prisoners. Hanging seems to bo almost abandoned there , and it is not uncommon for a man to bo sentenced to forty years' imprisonment. Of course they rarely live out these sentences , for the cli mate of the Mauritius unhealthy in the most favorable circumstances , be comes unendurable under the merci less rigor of prison lifo. The island , as you know , belongs , to Great Britain , and is situated on the eastern coast of Africa , a little below the equator. It is intensely hot and there are not a great many Europeans there ; but every night about 1,500 colored pris oners are locked up in the jail. Dur ing the day most of thorn work in chain-gangs , swooping the town of Mauritius. They do it well , but a pitiful and degrading spectacle is af forded by lines of strong , able-bodied men loaded down with iron chains ou the logs and round the waists , or drag ging ponderous iron balls after them , toiling through the Directs. "Thot rations are inferior to the ptison diet of this country , and , us far as I know , to that of any other part of the world. For breakfast they get a quarter of n pound of black bread and as much water as they want ; for dinner , about a pint of boiled rico , with a spoonful of curry and abun dance of water ; for supper the blank bread once more and a liberal supply of water. This is the changeless bill of faro , with no difference on Sundays and no meat at all. At night , before going into his cell , every man has to strip himself , and the keeper examines his clothes for concealed weapons or contraband articles of any kind. The prisoners have also to open their fiout hs to show that they have noth ing objectionable thoro. Each cell is a locked separately , and then a largo iron bar fastens all together. On Sundays - a days the prisoners are shaved , weigh- ctl and have their hair cropped as close us the scissors will roach. 'Of ' course , against this relentless ill ciplino there are occasional upris- i . hip. To take care of the lDOO con victs about 150 guards are employed , Of these some nro white und Bomo colored , but the head keepers are all w hitoand for the most part , soldiers who have served the terms for which they enlisted. They are nrmed with car bines and slicnt bayonets , Once when the convicts man aged to organize and broke into open revolt in the prison yard , it was a short-lived rebellion , The guard ? , trained to act rapidly and in concert , shot them down like mad dogs turn then charged them with the bayonets. The rebels were quickly subdued , and 'tcr that they wore ruled , if possible , moro rigorously than before. "A prisoner , it ho sees fit , may make a complaint , and if it is n just ono it will bo aUondcd to ; but heaven help the man who complains frivo lously. Once when I was in the jail a convict at dinner time protested that hii allowance of rice was not ns largo as the regulations re quired , It was measured at once , and found to bo a little over the proper quantity. His dinner was taken away from him , ono ot the most powerful of the keepers seized him , and ho was kicked and beaten until , bruised , bleeding and almost insensible , ho was pitched head first into his cell , The guards had general instructions not to wait lor orders , but at the first sign of a revolt to fire. "Ono of the convicts , I remember , was a cripple. His lower limbs were paralyzed , and ho moved ' along in a sitting posture with 'tho aid of his hands. Ho was serving a forty years' sentence for n jlkculiarly atrocious wife murdor. This apparently helpless brute absolutely managed to effect his escape in open daylight , after ho had been imprisoned for 'about twenty years. Owing to his crippled condi tion , ho did not work with the chain- gangs , but inside the prison walls , and one night , when locking-up hour arrived , his cell was found to bo empty. A fruitless search was kept up for a week or moro , but nothing was over heard of him. Whether ho escaped to sea in an open boat , and made for the far-away coast of Africa or for the island of Madagascar , dis tant four days' journey by steamer , or found a refuge among the sugar plan tations of the Mauritius , is unknown. I never lieark of another escape being effected , "I said that hanging was very un common in the Mauritius. But it is sometimes resorted to , as in the case of the murder of a white man , and a hangman is maintained on the island. This official ought himsolt to have been hanged years ago , having been convicted of locking his wife , his mother in-law , two sisters-in-law and two children in a room and suffocating them all with the fumes of charcoal. Ho was sentenced to fifty years' im prisonment , but was liberated on con dition of his becoming hangman. " Some Strong Mon- In 1871 , "Monsieur Greqories , " claiming to be soventy-ono years old , mightily Astonished the good folks of Horefoid by carrying seven hundred weight with the greatest of case , and by performing certain other oxtracr- dinary feats. For all that ho was one of the quietest of men , and simple as a child , living in constant dread lest ho should bo provoked into using his strength unprofessionally ; and afraid to nurse his own baby lestho should . give it a fatal squeeze. Joseph Pospischilli was wont to amuse the Hungarian public by hold j ing a table in the air by his hands and teeth , while a couple of Gypsies danced upon it to a third's fiddling. Ho and one of his brothers would bear upou Their shoulders a sort of wooden bridge , while a cart full of stones , drawn by two horses , was driven over it. Falling into evil ways , Joseph was imprisoned in the fortress of Ofon , and one day volunteered to give the prison inspectors a specimen of his abilities ; and permission b'oing accorded , ho so arranged the govern or's heavy mahogany table as to hold it suspended with his teeth for nearly half a minute. Joignory , a French professional acrobat , lately performing at a Berlin theatre , executed the following ex traordinary feat. As he swung head downward from a trapeze , to which his ankles wore fixed , a horse covered with gay trappings , and begirt with a broad leathern surcingle having two strong loops attached 'to it , and mounted by a full-grown man , was brought on the central stage , .above which Joignery hung suspended. Seizing the loops with his hands ) the Frenchman , by sheer muscular strength , lifted horse and rider some inches elF the stage ; sustained their combined weight in the air for some seconds , and then lot them down again as evenly and slowly as ho had raised them. Mr. Stanley tells us that Stmba , chief overseer of Amu bin Osman's caravan , standing1 six foot five inches barefooted , and measuring thirty-two inches from shoulder to shoulder , could toss an ordinary-sized man ten foot into the air , and catch him in his descent. Ho would tuko oiio of the largo white Muscat donkeys by the oars , and with a sudden movement of his right foot , lay the surprised ass on its buck ; carry a three-year-old bul lock on his buck half-way round his master's plantation ; and once actually bore twelve men on his buck , shoul ders and chest , round Osmnn'a house , to the intense wonder of a largo crowd of applauding spectators. A man of great strength was Wil liam Joy , known in his days us "tho English Sampson. " Ho was a native of Kent , having been born near llama- gate in 105. From an early period of his life ho displayed remarkable strength and dexterity for his years ; and when twenty-four years of ago ho began publicly to exhibit his astonish ing feats , Among other of Joy's per formances , ho is said to liuvu boon able to regain and keep in place u strong horse , urged by whip to escape his powerful rein , solely by the check of his pull without any stay or support whatever. Aided by n strong leathern girdle or bolt and sup porting himsulf by pressing his anna on a railing , ho could lift from tho.grouml stone said to bo a ton weight. Ho also broke asunder a rope fastened to wall , which had previously berne more than a ton and a half weight without breaking. Notwithstanding his great ( strength ho waa possessed of singularly agile and flexible joints , many wonderful stories being told of his feats in this respect , such as plac ing a glass of wino on the solo of his foot , which ho could twist round with his hands , and convoying the ilass in this way to his mouth without spill ing.
