Roberts , who shot and killed Theo
dora 'Weber in this city some two

Ilugon to-day on a writ of habeas
corpus , on the pica that she has now
completely and permanently recov
ered from the insanity which caused
her to commit the net , and for which
she was committed ts the insane nty-
lum. The court room was filled
with spectators , and a good deal
oi curiosity was manifested when
the ' prisoner took her Boat along
with her old mother. Several well
known physicians wcrp in attendance
'to bo called upon to'givo their oninion >
as to her sanity. The writ- charges
Dr. Kilbourno , superintendent of the
Elgin asylum , with unjustly detaining
her wit Inn the walla of that institution.
The first stop of the plaintiffs lawyers
was to endeavor to establish her sani
ty. She was placed upon the stand
nnd told the whole story qf her lifo
from her first coming to America from
Alsace when fourteen years of ago up

details. Her seduction by Webber ,
her trials and troubles following

fered while in jail , had all passed

Mr. SVtndoin for United Slates * en.v
tor. Ho was not a candid.ito for it ,
and did not ask it. But thus the
state of Minnesota shows that it has
the wisdom not to allow Mr. Windom
to bo lost to the service of itoalf nnd
the nation simply because President
Aithur does not wnnt him in his cabi
net. The pcoplo of that stale feel
nnd know ho is their best nnd strong
est mnn , that ho wm before President
Garfield callo t him from the senate ,
nnd before ho accepted thnt cnll
against his own personal wishes , and
thnt ho is ntino the less crcatsinco , hh
service with Garfiold. They know it
was a sacrifice for him to g (
into the cabinet of Gnrfiold , nuti
they do not pronoao to lot thai
itiiciifico on his part Uioti leave bin
out in the cold now. The state nnd
the people of Iowa might well initiate
the wisdom .and example of Minnesota
seta , and keep in their service ami
that of the country the best anil
strongest man it has ns a stuto wlio ,
like Windom , sacrificed his own per
sonal wishes i nnd interests nt the
behest of his party. Garficld , has
irene , nnd the people must give him
up. But there is no reason and will
be no excuse for the people to give up
fr m the public service the great men
lie called from the senate to nerve witli
him. If they were great and useful
men before they were chosen and
served with Garficld. they nrocortainly
none the loss great nnd would bo none
the less useful now. The three men
called by Uarfiold from the senate to
his cabinet Blaine , Kirkwood and
Windomworo chosen to their
seals in the senate by the people of
their states almost unanimously. If
tlio pcoplo of these states could pass
directly upon the question now , they
would do the snmo thing again , Min
nesota has already spoken , nnd decided
thnt AVindom'a service and association
with Garfield have made him only
stronger nnd more useful. Maine
would do so. if it had the chance , as
to Blaine , Iowa has the opportunity
as to Kirkwood , albeit several men
who would have stood no chance at all
if Kirkwood had boon in the field ,
liavo industriously canvassed the state
by counties and got by persuasion and
default n majority of the members of
; ho legislature pledged. No ono will
lony that if Kirkwood had boon n
candidate all summer , ns ho was all
winter , ho would have boon chosen
overwliolmingly. Can any ono tell ft
single good reason why ho should not
bo chosen ?
A National Immigrant lin-ar-
Cleveland Leader.
A movement is on foot to have
Congress pass a national immigrant
law. At present the bulk of immi
grants from foreign countries nro
landed in the port of Now York , nnd
the cost of caring for them is thrown
upon the stato. Up to 1870 n fund
tras collected from the steamship com
panies for this purpose , they paying
31.50 per capita on their emigrant
passengers , but the supreme court of
Now York sot the tax niido on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
At , this time the cost to the
state of caring for those foreigners ,
the feeble , sick , nnd destitute ,
amounts to .81,000.000 per annum.
At a recent meotiiu ; of the committee
of emigration of the national confer
ence of qharitios , in New York , 'these
and like matters wore considered , nf tor
which the following resolution was
lassod :
llcsolvod , Thnt a aub-coinmittoo"
, hroo bo appointed with power to con-
'or with the various state and local
authorities with a view to securing
such congressional action ns may best
iromoto the interest of the immigrant
nnd protect the states against the im-
tortatipn of foreign criminals , luna-
lies , idiots , epileptics , blind , crippled ,
and otherwise infirm alien paupers ,
and that the committee bo authorized
to present the subject to the appro
priate committcoa of both houses of
congress.
A Cnbtnot Position.
Liramlo Boomerang.
Once there wnsn poor _ boy who
came west to grow up with the coun
try , with no money or clothes or
Friends. Ho got tired of walking and
borrowed a horse in nn absent minded
kind of way. The neighbors saw that
the boy showed signs of genius , and
they mot and promoted him.
From being a poor unknown lad ho
roao to n cabinet position in a few
years.
On the top shelf of n Laramie cabi
net there ia n smiling skull with n
vacant look about the eyes and n bald
look on the top. That is what is loft of
the poor boy who came west to grow
up with the country.
At first ho rose to the top rf n bar
rel. Prom the proud eminence ho
rose rapidly to a height of about
twenty foot , and now ho is on the top
shelf of a cabinet , a cabinet position
of which any ono might well bo
proud.
Of course ho would fool more con
tented if ho had the rest of his system
with him , but wo can't have every
thing to please us.
This only goes to show , however ,
that no boy in our whole broad land
ia so poor and so utterly worthleea that
ho cannot by perseverance nnd portist-
ont grand larceny rise among his fellowmen
men with such rapidity that when ho
utraightons out nnd looks over the top
limb of the tree the weight of hiu overshoes
shoos will break him in two ,

Thn Politest Man in Boston.

The politest man inBostonhas been
discovered. Ho was hurrying along a
street the other night when another
man , nlso in violent haste , rushed out
of nn nlley-way and the two collided
with great force. The second man
looked mad , while the noli to man ,
taking off his hat , said : "My do.ir sir ,
I don t know which of us is to blame
for this violent encounter , but I am in
too great a hurry to investigate. If I
ran into you , 1 ben your pardon ; if
you ran into mo , don't mention it"
ind ho toro away at redoubled speed.
' 'Overworked. "
Ho came homo late the other night ,
and his wife woke up and round him
with n burning match trying to light
the faucet over the marble basin in
liis dressing room. "James , " she
said , "that in not the gas burner. "
"I know it now , my love , " ho replied ,
unsteadily ; "faet is , I've been over
worked , and tha's reason made mis-
