Outrages in Missouri.
( From New York Express. J

The Missouri journals continue to come to
us with the most startling accounts OF the
progress of tho religious and partizan perse-
cution which the Radical-Jacobin party are
pursuing in that State, regardless alike of
public opinion, the obligations of justice, and
the commonest dictates of humanity. Among
the latest arrests is that ofRev. Mr. Holiday,
"for preaching without taking the oath" but
there are worse outrages than these.
Levi Beekley writes the followingin regard
to the outrage perpetrated by the radicals in
ST. Clair county upon himself and family
about three weeks since. He says: we all
got out alive, but it was Larrow escape. We
had about three hundred shots fred at us,
and fathers house was burned down, and the
next day the mob returned and burned my
house down. When they returned to the
town of Osceola, they killed a man who was
stopping there, and who was circuit Judge
from Texas, They ran off eight or ten fami-
lies before they stopped, and swear that nc
man who favors President johnson shall STOP
there. 1t is difficult to believe these state
ments and at the same Time believe that the
nation is at peace. b al4 ..aI1I ts.is

Soda Water-HOW 1t is Made.

We will venture to say that very few Of
our readers who frequent the soda fountains
know the manner in which it is made Soda
water is simply pure water impregnated with
carbonic acid gas. 1t is known by its agreea-
BILE pungent taste by its slightly exhilirating
qualities, and its b1lbbling and scintillation.
The water to be impregna.sd with gas is
placed in strong vessel, usually made of
iron or copper, called fountain. The gas,
after being passed through water to purify it,
is conducted to the fountain, and after suffi-
cient agitation in contact with the gas at a
high pressure, the water becomes irnpregna-
ted, and is then what is known as soda
water
The first experiments were made by Venal
in France, $780, and published in 1776; by
-Priestly, in 1898; and later. by Bergman
Black, Won Helmet, and Others. The first
mandatory in the world was established at
Geneva by Goss, an apothecary of that city;
whose annual sales amounted to forty thou
sand bottles Of Eau de Seltz.' In 1870, his
partner Mr.. Paul founded an establishment
in Paris, where were compounded not only
the principle mineral waters of France, but
even those Of foreign countries. From this
time forward, laboratories multiplied all over
Europe, and the manufacture of simple agra
ted y water a! e.. i now conducted so large
large amount of inventive talent has been
successfully employed in improving the ne
cessarv apparatus. ., ....r

Claws forbidding cruelty to animals were
in full force among the Athenians The Ar.
eopagus on one occasion, pronounced SEN
tencs of death against child for tearing Out
the eyes Of a monkey. Philanthropy may bt
regarded as a distinguished popularity Of our
age, but charitable institutions are not entire

Popes framed with his own hand the regula-
tons for house of correction. The Emperor
Trajan provided for the necessities of orphaned
children" 6
The registering Of names at hotels as po-
lice regulation, was in full force in Rome, and
Marco Polo says the same system was en-
forced by the Khan of Tartary. The modern

Cicero speaks of the measures taken at Laodi7

funds can hardly be otherwise explaine 1,

early as 1923. These assurances were made in
England in 1641 Fire insurance originated
in Denmark
Plato recommended the establishment of
agencies to facilitate matrimonial alliances.
Hamburg Journal of 1882 contained an
advertisement not unlike those appearing oc-
casionally in our newspapers IA lady, aged

weeks ago to become widow for the fourth
time, desires husband of twenty years,
healthy and vigorous He shall live like a
lord, be provided with magnificent equipage,

shall be her sole egatee." Montaigu's father
also advised the opening of bureaus for the
sale of articles, and the procuring of servants.
