in this country some years ago by the
elaborate declaration that, my name it

peace 10 Cass county, Mo-, the other day,
for the abduction and murder of young
lady, and it turned out to be serious
business for him. In the midst Of the
trial the murdered young lady appeared
before the Justice and wanted to produce
some evidence to prove that Bowers was
innocent Of the charge preferred against
him, but the Justice refused to hear the
evidence, and committed the prisoner to
Jail for murder. II it had not been for
the intervention of somebody who hap

HOW women Can Save Money.

My advice to every young lady who
has only a few dollars in money, to ex-
pend it towards purchasing good sew
ing machine. Young men and young
ladies, who are just slipping the sweets
of connubial felicity, before you get
your furniture, purchase sewing ma
chine. Do not entertain the thought for
a moment Of getting carpet, set of
china, or dinner-table until you have
secured good sewing machine. will
not stop TO enumerate the ways in which
beth husband and wife can save money
by getting sewing machine; but be-
ware of those which make a stitch that
will unravel faster than a machine can
sew it. We were once swindled amsz
ipgly in a machine which made a chain
stitch. If q man, in climbing over
fence, happened to break thread on a
silver, he is in danger of losing bis pants;
and if lady chanced to break thread

suaded neighbor to lend her money
enough to make the first payment on q

began to save money. Your wife may
not be able to do much housework, but
she can Iun sewing machine with ease.

to pay for an extra servant, and pay for

Iesutt Missionaries.

The Jesuit missionaries, with un.
doubted heroism, made their way into
the dark places of the earth They
founded fourishing settlement in Bra
zil that seemed for long time full OF
delightful promise. They half converted
the Japanese; they ruled at Pekin, and
made the Chinese acquainted with Wes-
tern science; they penetrated to Ethiopis;
they softened the savsges of Canada and
Illinois; and they proved their sincerity
and heroism by thousand srduous ex-
ploits. Yet similar ill.fortune seemed
to attend al their enterprises, and China,
Japan, America, Ethiopia, once more re-
PEELED with bitter hatred the oppressive
sway of Rome. A multitude Of pious
and earnest Jesuits, whose pure and holy
lives have been sacrificed in vain, have
labored and died in savage wildernesses,
in heather cities, in malarious JuDgles,
and in icy solitudes; but the intrigues
and vices of their Italian masters have
uniformly destroyed the fruits of their
msrtyrdom and selEdeyotion.
With their home missions the Jesuits
were more successful. Here, too, they
stroye to unite arms with letters, and to
plant their free schools in the heretical
North By diplomacy and the sword

ProiestaDis fed, and soon in all their
terrified cities Rourishiug Jesuit colleges

ofchildren were iusirpeted and CONF armed

were admirable teachers. Loyola was
resolved to make bis colleges splendid

the most abundant learning; aud he
Iayished money in profusion to provide

How "thc ROoster'' Got Into
Politics.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the follow.
ing as to the way in which "chanticleer"
stepped into political use:
1t was not until so late q period as
1910, the year of the "log cabin" 'hard
cider" and "coon skin campaign which re-
suited in the election OF General Harrison
that he made his appearance. Indiana
then had her election in August. The edi-
tor of our respectable Democratic catem-
porary, the Indianapolis Sentinel, was
John w. Chapman. In those days loco
motion was slow, and it required days, and
even weeks to get any returns from the
back counties. 1t SO happened in some
particular county in Indiana the Demo-
Gratis made gain over the previous elec.
ton. An enthusiastic Democrat wrote tc
a friend in Indianapolis the news, and not
knowing Mr.. Chapman, the editor of the
Sentinel, personally requested his friend to
communicate the facts to Chapman, adding
the significant words, Tell Chapman to
crow Catching the inspiration Of his
second hand correspondent, Chapman did
s.crow' in the Sentinel, and as the business
of "crowing' is usually done BY chantieleer,
he Drought out one or those une, large blrdS
at the head of his columns. That was the
first rooster ever placed in a Democratic
paper to rejoice over Democratic victory.
AS the general results of that election were
against US, it was matter Of derision for
the Wing papers, when any Wing victory
was obtained, to add these words, "Tell
Chapman to crow This assisted to fix
the matter in the popular mind, and to Ma
the emblem. No better one
could have been adopted. The rooster is
probably the most gallant and bravest Of
birds. He is never conquered as long as
he has life. Beaten to-day, he is ever
ready to renewt the fight with his conquerer
to- morrow. ?"

The GALAXY for November contains q
paper with the above title, Of the best SEN
sational sort. 1t makes disclosures of the
existence of secret conspiracy in this
country for the conversion OF the republic
into an empire, and gives the interior his
tory of the Imperialist, newspaper advoca-
ting despoiism which ceased to live in
New York after All existence of twenty
weeks. The writer, with show Of entire
honesty, says; that his narrative is literal
truth, and the editor Of the magazine
corroborates some Of the most impor-
tant Of his statements. The Imperial
ist was the organ Of n political movement,
and although that has ceased, the organiza-
ton Of which it was for a time the mouth.
piece still exists in undininished vitality
and determination.
During the last Presidential campaign
the Democrats charged upon Gen. Grant
the intention Of usurping the government
and establishing military despotism.
This idle elcctioneering device somewhat
familiarized the public mind with the posi-
sibility of such thing. On the Sd of
April after. the inauguration, the sianrial.
ist appeared in New York, advocating not
only immediate monarchy, but CGsarsm.
with military dictator, and it spoke no
longer of the United States, but ofthe En-.
pire of the West. At once the old rumors
OF monarchical conspiracy revived.
The conductors Of this newspaper were
not Bohemians, but gentlemen OF position
and culture, Americans By birth, Aho
sincerely believed that Repubicanism
was failure. The paper claimed to be

s THE GRAIN FRA DE.

The vicisstudes which attend this trade
are of great Interest to this country, seven
tenths Of whose population are engaged in
agricultural industry. From the various
grain outlets of the Atlantic coast, and from
San Francisco on the Pacific side Of the
Union, there has been recently been poured
into the markets of Great Britain q larger
amount of wheat than at any previous time.
The ecablestelegram has been employed in
the unusual service of announcing these
important receipts. $ f5
- The total of -four and wheat received
there from nll countries in September and
October was a, 900 900 cwt. in excess ofthe
quantity imported in the same months last
year. From the United States, for Septem-
Der alone, Great Britain received Of wheat
l,423,OO0 cwt., and Of -four l85,S43 cwt.,
against ls4, ,931 of wheat, and 30,674 Of
-four, for September, 1885,. -
The British returns Of imports for the
nine months ending September 30, 1869,
are not less interesting or remarkable.
They imported from the United States in
that period 7,938,Sl8 cwt. Of wheat, and
9Gs, sos cwt of -four, against only 4, l4,2O3
cwt. Of wheat, and 500, l82 cwt. Of flour,
for the equivalent period in 1868. We re-
versed positions with Russia, hitherto the
largest exporters Of grain % England. For
the first nine months of 1869 Russia fur
nished 4, ,76s, 7o4 cwt. of wheat, although in
