In 1872 be founded tbe Nat.oual Republi can Brother hool in ISngland, and within two years enrolled 8 W.Oiit) members. But his greatest adhievements were in tbe Com mon's Rights Agitation. Millions of acres of laud batii been stolen from the people by rich landowners. With an energy almost unprecedented. Air. De Morgan ait to work to reclaim that land and restore the herit age to the people. At Hackney, in Loud on he pulled down the fences and burned them; at i lumatead be fought tbe Uovernment It self, drove the.' War Department from the Common, and never rested until it was re stored to the people. The Queen appointed him the oflicial to throw open PI urns tead Common to tbe people. In connection with this Common tbe Government arrested Mr. De Morgan and ' sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $250. Sixteen days afterwards he was re lease! on a Sunday by order of the Queen, and an apology made. He was welcomed from; jail by hundreds of thousands of people, i Mr, De Morgan compelled the Queen to obey a law which she bad violated from the time of her accession, and. also made the Prince of Wales return some money which he had received for National property which be bad illegally sold.

Ilillman, of Lawrence, Kan., who had secured insu rance on bis life for $32,000, went to Indian Territory with several companions. &oon word came back that he was dead, he having been accidentally shot by one of bis com rades. The body w brought to Lawrence, but many people refused to believe that it was Hillman's. This reached the ears of the insurance companies, and when the alleged widow presented tbe policies the companies refused to pay them, alleging that tbe body was tbat of a young man who bad been mur dered by Hillmau and co-conspirators. The matter was taken into court, and three long and sensational trials were bad, the latest one last : winter, when the State Supreme Court decided In favor of Mrs. Huiman, or Mrs. Smith, as she had become by marriage to a Leavenworth traveling man. Eight years ago J. M. Miller, of , Lawrence, Kan., became possessed with tbe idea that Hillman was still living, and as he had money Bet out to find blm. Several men were arrested at his instigation, but eocn proved not tbe man. May 28th last, just as tbe New York Life Insurance Company was about to pay its policy, word came from Miller that he bad found Hillman, and had caused his iirrest at Toaibetone, Arizona,; . Miller stated that Hillman had been living in Sonora, Mexico, lince be disappeared.:: Detective Franklin, Detecti7e of the Santa he system, went to Tombstone and seemed to identify the prisoner. Some time ago the man was brought secretly to Lawrence, but no one ever saw him to iden tify bim. . Last Tuesday word came ;that he had escaped, and , every one supposed that Jbe arrested man " was not Hillman. Tbe sase bas become more mysterious now than Bver, as an attorney of one of the insurance companies sent word to several papers that Hillman hod been recaptured,: No one has leen bim however, and tbe matter etill ttands the greatest insurance mystery of the lay.

' Captain Fisher's Story of an Attack Upon His Vessel, and the Ex planation lie Received ; v , For it. The schooner Baltic, of Prlncetown, Cap tain Joseph Fisber, arrived at New Bedford, Mass., from an Atlantic Ocean whaling voyage. Captain Fisher had a thrilling ex perience last May, whib at Sam Bay, San Domingo, where he put in for water. He visited the bay February 6th, and was boarded by t'ae ofilcer of the fort, a general, Wbo came on board with soldiers and In spected the yesset Captain Fisher soid he was going whaling, and the' general gave him permission to get wodd and water ai long as he stayed in that vicinity. On tbe 13th of May the schooner again visited the watering place. At six o'clock In the eve ning, five soldiers, under command of an ofilcer, came down and fired tenor fifteen shots at the schooner. They were armed with good American rifles. , IVhen the first shot was fired, Capt Fisher was aft with the officers, and all hanhsbut the steward were on deck. The first shot Just cleared the Captalus head, passing a foot above him. The next two went for ward among the crew standing on the wind lass bits. Shey passed close to two seamen. With the bullets, flying the Captain had no opportunity to show the American flag. The loldiers on shore kept firing, and Captain Fisher ordered -all hands below and went himself. When the soldiers found no one on deck, they fired into tbe vessel, hitting, the copper cooler near the foremast, tbe bullets going through it. It was so lata when the firing stopped that Captain Fisher did not dare go ashore, for fear he would be shot in the dark. , The next day he wenfashore and demanded an explanation. Tbe officials gave him no satisfactory answer, sayiug they thought tbe vessel was a Spanish smug gler; but as Spanish vessels thereabouts carry no boats on the side, he resolved to leek a higher authority. ' - Accordingly, on May 16 he went to Orud lua, eight miles to the westward, and sought an interview with General Pappoo, who or dered a boat and went down that evening with police officials, and, alter paying the ichooner a visit, arrested the five soldiers. They were arraigned and tried. Three days iter General Pappoo released them, giving s bis reason to Captain Fisher that he found they did not kill any one. There is a lack of liscipliue about the military, aud tbe Amer icans attribute tbe attack to liquor. A com plaint against the Haytien government will be sent to Secretary Blaine by Capt. Fisher. The men who did the firing were Uaytiens. MURDERED BY OUTLAWS.
