HANDSOME WOMEN TO TRAVEL WIrH.-
If it is in contemplation to spend several
days at q time in hotels, cities, or in small
towns, or to be good deal in steamboats,,
to do so with the largest amount Of comfort
and complacency, in consequence of having
the best things and the best places, the first
and best and promptest attention from land,
lords, clerks and servants, travel with a
handsome woman. There is nothing like it.
No fairy wand will transmogrify things SO.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT. last Sunday night,
Mr.. William Sweat, son of Nathan Sweat,
of this county, was seriously injured by run
ming his horse against peach tree. We learn
it occurred in this manner The mules be-
longing to the farm broke ont of the lot and
got into the orchard, and Mr.. Sweat having
caught one of them, was riding at furious
rate, attempting to drive the Others out, when
he was run against projecting limb of dead
peach tree, which entered his left breast just
above the nipple, and passing out under his
shoulder blade, tore its way out Hopes are
entertained that the wound will not prove
fatal. Kosciusko Chronicle.

TOR THE DEMOCRAT.

If to feel when thouart near,
Sweet emotions fill my heart
If each pleasure seem more dear,
And truer joy impart,
If to sigh when thou art gone,
Oft recall thy mcmry,'
And without thee feel alose-
Then love thee--deNrly love thee.
If the hours seem the sweetest,
When know that thou art nigh,
If the hours flee the feetest
And my bosom heave no sigh,
All things lovely fsirer seem,
When thy blessed smile see,
And Of brighter things dream
Then love--dearly love thee.
As the aowrets love the dew,
And the morning rosy light
And awake with brighter hue,
Fromthe deep embrace of night;
So, my spirit yearns for thee,
In thy absence, dearest one,
And as fondly turns to thee,
As the howrets to the sun.

Col. Paul Anderson.

Many of our citizens know Col. Paul Ander-
son, of Cincinnati, one of the most venerable
as well as intelligent and active of the Western
pioneers. He is an old school gentleman. and
the life of society when he happens to sojourn
The Colonel recently visited st. Paul his
stamping ground in very early lines, for it
seems that he is the oldest Red River Trader
living. The St. Paul Times thus speaks of
Col. a. in connection with the early CONNER
cial history of Minnesota
In the year 1919, Col. Anderson was in busi-
ness at st. Louis, and during that year Lord
Selkirk was about establishing on permanent
basis his colony on the Red River of the North
Lord SeIkirk Issued proposals at st. Louis for
the purchase of a large number of cattle to
stock the colony. When the bids were opened
it was found that Col. Anderson was the lowest
bidder, and the contract was accordingly awards
ed to him.
He procured his stock in Illinois and Mis-
soun, aud employ ed n sufficient number of men
to drive them through to Red River, giving the
drovers one-hall Of the profits of the adventure
Their course was across the country through

head-waters Of the Des MOinos and Minnesota
rivers. 1t was late IN the season before they
started and of course they were late in arriv-
ing at the end OF their long and tedious jour
ney But they met with no material accident
whatever, only losing two of their cattle on the
entire route.
They received their pay in exchange onlLon-
don, and returned late in the winter by dog
trains to Prairie du Chen. There they waited
tor the Hyer to break up, when they proceeded

Col. Anderson sold his exchange in New York
for l3 per cent. prem, and in the end netted
handsome profit by his contract
From this drove of cattle has sprung the
whole Of the Red River stock of our day The
bulls and heilers OF Col. Anderson's drove were
the ancestors OF the Red River oxen, which we
see haanessed in carts and driven about our

Exciting scene--A Curious Looking Lion

the other day, which would have resulted fatally
| but for the prOmptness of Mr.. Van Amburgh
Some fellows who had been employed TO assist
the regular hands in putting up the canvas
thought they would have some fun with ''the
monarch of the forest" and accordingly com
menced punching him with sticks. This eX-
cited the lion, but he made no demonstration.
Wishing to hear him roar the brutes spit to
bacco juice in his eyes This thoroughly mad.
dencd him and his frenzy was terrific He
tore from ons end of the cage to the other,
bowling and grinding his monster teeth with
rage. The fellows were frightened and fled
One of them climbed up the centre pole. The
lion made tremendous dash against the cage
bars-theY gave away-he cleared the cage
with bound-and sprang for the atfrighted
wretch on the pole. In the blindness of his
rage the lion missed the man, striking his own
head against the pole, splitting himself from
head to tail 1t was done as evenly as though
he had been sawed by an experienced mechanic.
The uproaI brought Mr.. Van Amburgh TO the
spot.s The emergency required promptuess.
Seizing the cleaved parts of the lion the great
"tamer" clapped them instantly together. They
stuck and the lion was soon restored to CON
seriousness. But imagine Vans agony when
he saw that he had put the lion together

The above description of this curious lion

Charleston nomination is made. The party it
will be remembered, ran against tree of the
Lecompton species, and was completely and

ing in the air-ot other times when it lops itself
over and is treading on Anti-Lecompton soil, it
will then be the turn of the digniGed Old

BUST or THE SENIOR Dr.. BEEoHER.-There
is a fine marble bust of the venerable Lyman
Beocher d. D., at the Boston Athen@un. The
Advertiser thus refers to the work;
It is executed by an amateur artist, Mrs
Wilson, a lady of Cincinnati, who has been very
successful in the use of the sculp ptors chisel on
two or three former occasions. 1t would be
small praise TO say that the bust is a faithful
likeness, when we can truly add that it has the
expression and dignity of a work Of high art.
DR.. Beecher has lived TO see not only children,
but grand children make their entrance upon
the stage Of life while he is still an active
member of society he has lived to see his own
launels, in accordance with the theory of the
Chinese gain ustre from those Of his descend
auts. Mrs Wilson has accordingly chosen a
fitting subject for the enduring marble, and she
has treated it with marked success.
