l-'rnnk Hustard , who has been baker at
the Nebraska Hospital for thu Insane ,
gathered together his implements of
peace and departed on Thursday from
the institution. Ills dismissal was
mutual between himself nnd thu superin
tendent , nnd caused him ut least no sur
prise. He has never been a pet at the
instilutiou , And when the doctor has cir
culated petitions among the employes
endorsing himself and his methods ,
I/rank Unstnrd has not affixed his signa
ture , llo kngw the management was n
fraud nnd u disgrace and he didn't hesi
tate in expressing his honest convictions.
Ho was ono of a very few of the em
ployes who did not prostrate himself be
fore thu king nnd consequently lie has
expected n dismissal long since , but from
Iho fact that ho was nn exceptionally
good baker , who hay worked month in
nnd out without the loss of an hour's
time , ho was retained , evidently in the
hope that n hen winter came that they
could apply a gag to him under threats
of dismissal , and as ho had
n largo family to support , make
him bend the pregnant hinges of llio
knee to the superintendent. As Huslard
was not of that character , ho spoke of
the wrongs and mismanagement , public
or private , just as ho saw lit , mid when
tlio Hiiperlntendent wont to call him to
account ho was more ready to go than
the Institution was ready to part with
him. Mr. Hustard has made the follow
ing iiflldiirlt , which Jim boon turned over
to the board of public lands and build
ings , and it is most excellent reading :

| ) iit upon it the brand of 'piracv. ' This
southern gentleman 'of the old school,1 In
the days of "chivalry , ' repelled the mod-
urn innovation with all his might , as the
extracts from his loiters will show. Hut
pretty soon John Urown anil Abraham
Lincoln came along , and ondcd the con-
irovursy. Mr. Lamar's views tire no
longer entertained , even in Georgia and
ho Carolianas ; but they scorn too good ,
in their historical aspect , not to be given
to the public. They are moral antiques
which still form a very interesling
study. "
"Mr. Lamar bci'iin his operations in
1857. For the next two or three years ho
evidently conducted the African Hlavc
trade in the American cotton states with
great public spirit and for all it was
worth. His letters mention three vessels
which ho kept as busy as the vicissitudes
af thu traflic would allow. Those wore
the K. A. Hawlins , thn Richard Cobdcn
nnd tlic Wanderer. Ho contcninlatcd an
extension of his lines so magnificent as
to def.y the whole nnappreciative world ,
and this scheme ho laid out in a confiden
tial letter M-iy 21. 1858. to Thomas Har-
rett , Esq. , Augusta :
"I liavoin contemplation , if 1 can raise
the necessary amount of money , the lil
ting out of an expedition to go to the
coast of Africa for a cargo ot African ap
prentices , to bo bound for the term of
their natural lives , and would like your
co-operation. No subscription will bo re
ceived for a less amount than 5,000. Thn
amount to be raised is & ! i < )0,000. ) I will
take $20,000 of the stoek and go myself.
I propose to purchase the Vigo , an iron-
screw steamer of 1,750 tons , now in Liver
pool for sale at iilOOU ( cash , bho cost
, C75UOO. G 1J. Lamar can give you a de-
bcriplion of her. * * * She is as good
as now , save her boilers , and they can bo
used tor several months. It I can buy
her 1 will put sixPai.xhan guns on dock ,
and man her with as good men as are lo
bo found in the south. The fighting men
will all be stockholders and gentlemen ,
some of whom are known to you , if not
personally , by reputation. My estimate
runs thus :
Sluiiiuer , SI.10,000 ; rcimlis , Rims ,
Riimll arm" , etc. , $50,000 6200,000
Supplies , Si > r.oO' ) : money lor purchase
of canro , 875,000 100,000
Total S300.000
"I have , as you know , n vessel now
afloat , but it is to my mind extremely
doubtful whether she 'gets in safely , as
she had to wait on the coast until her
cargo could bo collected. If she ever
gets clear of the coast they can't catch
her. Shu ought to be due in from ten lo
thirty days. I have another now ready
to sail , which has orders to order a cargo
of 1,000 to 1,200 to lie in readiness the 1st
of September , but to be kcpt.if necessary ,
until the 1st of October which I intend
for the steamer so thai no delay may
occur. With her I cim make the voyage
there and back , including all detentions ,
bad weather if I encounter it , etc , In
ninety days certain nnd sure ; and the
negroes can be sold as fast as landed at
iJOSO per head , lean contract for them
'to arrive' at that figure , cash. The Vigo
can bring 3,000 with case and comfort ,
and 1 apprehend no difficulty of risk.savo
shipwreck , and that you nan insure
against. I can got one of the first lieu
tenants in the navy to gooutincommand
and wo can whip anything , if attacked ,
that is on that station , either Knglish or
American. Hut I would not propose to
light ; for the Vigo can steam eleven knots
which would put us out of the way of any
of the cruisers. If you know of any who
would like to take an interest , mention it
to them confidentially , and lot me know
who they are. I want nonu hut reliable
men , and men who will have the money
the moment it is called for. I can raise
$100,000 hero. What can I raise in and
about Augusta ? * * If the Uawlins
gets in with her cargo , I shall want very
hlllo more money , for 1 will take all that
is w.anting myso'f. '

On Wcdnosdaynightabout 10ROo'clook :
quite a sensation was created by a man
named L. D. Itornady , who for the past
month has bcon rooming with his wife
n the house of Mrs , H , A , Wilson on
First avenue.
It being rather late , there were only a
ew of the immediate residents of the
icighborhood that know ot the occur
rence at the time , but yesterday it fur-
lished food for the gossips , and was one
of Iho tonics.
It scorns Hornady and his wife engaged
two rooms in the house on Ocloiicr 1 ,
: ominc direct from Omaha , but
Formerly resided in Red Oak , la. ,
where Ilia wife owns considerable
liropeity. Hornady claims to be n traveling -
oling man and to represent a Philadel
phia leather house , but whether this is seer
or not many persons are in doubt , At
iny rate , Mrs. Hornady has been in
ignorance of the name of the llrm lie
represents or for some reasons lias de
nied any knowledge of the name of the
houso. Kvcrytldng , seemingly , Imsgono
along smoothly between tliu man and
wife since they have moved into tliolr
last quarters , although the gossips had
It that their previous matiimoiiial life
had not been all sunshine , and that ono
thunderstorm after another finally
led tt ) a bolt from the courts cut
ting them in twain. They renewed
llioir courtship , and concluded to
remarry , ono of the terms of the now
compact being that she would deed him
her property.
Wednesday night ho came homo and
for a time chattud pleasantly in thu
parlor and then retired to his rooms up
stairs with his wife. The two got to
quarreling over a diamond , each claim
ing it , and the man , who had apparently
been drinking , choked hor. Sno getaway
away and came running down stairs and
locked herself in the parlor , and asked
Mrs. Wilson not to let him in. He cunio
down and began Kicking the door , so
Mrs. Wilson opened it to sue what ho
wanted. Hu jumped in , grabbed his
wife and gave her anolher choking , but
was forced by Mrs. WtNon to desist after
a time. Mrs. Hoinady then went up
stairs and ho followed her up
there and kicked in the door
of her room , wl.ieh she had
locked against him. Then ho choked and
beat her , threatening to kill hor. He was
only forced to desist by the coming in of
some of the neighbors. Mr. Jossl.yn tak
ing him in charge , making him hold up
his hands and march ahead of him lo tliu
police station. Josslyn Imd a gun , but
the cowardly wife-beater , fearing a bul
let , marched through the strecls without
resistance , his hands held up in air. lie
put UP money for his appearance in the
morning and then went to Iho Pacific
house to spend the rest of the night.
Yesterday ho wont to Omaha.
Mrs. llnrnady was very ill yesterday ,
being confined to her bed , and her inju
ries being quite painful but not deemed
dangerous.
