TRAIN ON THE RAMPAGE.

For some weeks past George Francis
with his shadowy one million
Irishmen at his back, has been enter
tanning the people of the West in his
peculiar style. For some reason George
has Of late forsaken his wonted line of
kindly argument, and has grown bitter
aud biting. Are recruits and converts
falling off? Francis made q speech to
the St. Louis brokers and merchants
lately, and is thus reported BY a journal
of that %rirtuous city:
He declares the whole Pacific coast to
be a grand humbug, a South Sea bub-
BILE, a gigantic swindls, and stated that
there was not a solvent man in all Gall
iforuia. He lampoonsd Chicago and
San Francisco 10 his peculiarly intensi-
fed manner, declaring that they were a
couple Of empty blowhards, energeti-
cally engaged in the attempt to outbrag
each other; that they were a couple
Of impudent, brassy, h%atless, coatless,
bottles, shirtless dead beats. He then
turned his skunk battery upon st. Louis
aud wisked n torrent of his unsavory
musk full into the faces Of our business
men. He told them they had been 30
years building q bridge across the river,
aud, having sunk all their capital before
they had sunk a pier, he presumed the
bridge would not be finished for 80
years more. He said that St. Louis
people were n set Of sleepy dronss, and
that q bright idea would split their
heads as quick as = streak Of lightning
would n pumpkin. He declared there

the name, and not q shorthand reporter
in st. Louis that English gold had
bought up the papers, and they were 10

hereafter. Declared that forty National
| Banks Of New York City were iusolvent,
and were Vanderbilt TO die to-day at =
o'clock, not a bank Of the whole forty
would take down a shutter tue next
morning. That their failure would
cause the failure of every other National
Bank in the country, and panic, bank

they were to be given up again, aud he
gave the information to Peabody, who
had seventeen days to buy our depre-
ciated bonds in before the news was
made public, thus clearing over fifty
millions of dollars. The English nation
CAM in for their usual amount of abuse
and pugilistic punishment. But the
windiest bladder must collapse at last,
aud so Traiu's steam blew itself oil of
finally, and lef: the great mudslinger
voiceless aud perspiring. There were
two or three propositions thrust prom
ineut!y into the foreground OF all the
CHASTITY pictures the speaker drew, one
that the country was incontestibly an
ass, except Train; another that the
country was i~rretrierably ruined, and
that George Francis Train would be its

WHAT n Western city can't tolerate is
really u~nsndurabls. Now, Kansas City
has a worldwide reputation for the
freest and easiest methods Of speech
and conduct; but it seems Dr.. Mary
Walkers brfeches have psoved to be
too fragrant a breach Of the peace and
dignity Of the border city. They were
accordingly arrested, with the learned
Doctor in them, and in due process Of
law both found themselves before a ma
gissrate. The Doctor pleaded her own
cause, and in SO doing utterly aunihi-
lated the conscientious policeman with
a blast of inveeiive. The magistrate

cided that the public breaches of women
did not necessarily constitute breaches
of the public Law.

She can wear corsets if too thick, and

divorced from her husband if she secs
one she likes better. She can get her

A MILE. ZAGRIyo, a young girl Of only
IA years, was nearly killed in st. Louis,
lately, by a fall which she sustained in
a performance on tho trapeze at the Va.
rieties Thsater. The feat consisted in
balancing herself upon one foot or a bar
hanging twenty-five feet above tho floor,
and while in this position swinging in
long oscillations, with arms outstrctched
and a smile upon her face, Cooking
more like n creature Of the air than a
being of tho earth" Upon this occs-
sion, losing her balance, she descended
hsadlong into the orchestra, and fell
apparently dead, cutting a fearful cash
in her head, aud breaking both her
wrists. Her father picked up her ~lifeless
form, and carried her behind the scenes,
where she revived.
