CONFESSION OF A MURDERER.-The con-
fession of John w. Moore, the murderer OF
Mrs. McAdams at Greenyille, ILL.,, says he
entered the house from the porch, where
she was washing, and attempted to violate
her, but she struggled SO hard that he was
obliged to release her. He then endeayor-
ed to persuade and bribe her not to
reveal his act, but she refused, and he
went home with the intention of leaving
the country. He could not abandon
his wife and child, however,
and returned to Mrs. McAdam's s
house for the purpose of again pleading
with her not to disclose his conduct. When
he approached her she ran away. He fol-
lowed and caught her, and, on her still re-
fusing to screen him, he struck, then
stabbed, and finally cut her throat. He
has issued an appeal to all ministers to visit
and pray for him, and urges all Christians
to come and talk with him, and prays that
no violence will be done him, but that he
may be allowed time to prepare for death.
Mrs. McAdams's funeral took place on
Wednesday and was attended by the peo-
pie of the entire. surrounding country.
There has been intense excitement, but
since the confession it has abated, and
there seems now to be determination to
allow the law to take its course.
Moore was born in New York in 1945.
His father died when he was quite young,
and his mother came to st. Louis to live,
where she resided several years. Subse-
quently they went to Bond county, Illinois,
to live. Moore has borne an excellent repu.
tation to the present time.

Matrimonial Advances.
The Rev. DR.. Bushnell, in his new book
ssThe Reform Against Nature" writes o.

The Rev. DR.. Bushnell, in his new book,
'sThe Reform Against Nature, writes on
this subject as follows;
s'There is one matter where genuine
reform would accomplish more for women,
as verify believe, and take them out of
the corner that now pinches them great
deal more certainly, than to give them a
right of suffrage and of civil Office; having
also the further advantage, that 1t would
give them q more open way to the proper
womans life, for which they are better
made, instead of taking them off into quasi
battles with men, for points OF precedence
and prerogatives of government which do
not belong to them and never can. 1speak
here of a reform that takes off or somehow
loosens the the embargo on women, as re-
spectS advances toward marriage. The as
sumption now is, that women must be first
lassoed and taken, courted long and skill
fully then and almost to the death, before
they can venture an approving look. If
they cannot be conquered then, they must
not be had, and they must take this ground
themselves On one side there must be a
close fence of prudery, hard as possible to
be got over; and on the other, the man
who will try, must 60 to it bravely, which,
alas! for his modesty, is likely to be quite
impossible. Full three quarters OF the men
who get stuck in their bachelor life and are
never married, are, in fact, the most Unborn
adorers of women; such as never In their
lives can muster courage for any advance
just because the shrine they look upon has
too much divinity in it for their mortal ap-
proach. Of course it will not do for un-
married women to put themselves in way
of being suitors to men. That kind OF
suitorship would even be an offense, and
raise sense of revulsion; nobody would
recommend to women that they get over
their modesty; but the almost cholic string
ency of what are called good manners, in
this matter might be relaxed, without real
impropriety and with great advantage, The
present iron-clad modesty, which ls SIM
ply ridiculous in either party, might be SO
far mitigated as to let feeling feel its way,
and carry on its own courtship; requiring
no restrictions save the restriction ofwords
and formal advances, and allowing nature
to interpret and work out her problem,
hampered by no unnatural coyishness. :
Women cannot be forward and bold, but
they are now great way further off than
they need be"

A Clerical Maniac-A Curious Adyen-
fUrn.

The Rev Z. NJ. Brown, Baptist minis
ter near Paris H.. has become insane and
is subject to the most remarkable freaks. =
His first freak was the collection of two
large piles of rocks about twenty-five feet
apart which he called his batteries, he
threatened to kill everybody who chanced
to come that way. He gave his brother
the passwords with which he could pass
the batteries. The password to the east
ern batteries was: cam a soldier OF the
CROSS" The password to the western one
was: Amazing grace, how sweet the
sound that saved wretch like me-" His
brother passed the eastern work or battery,
but the madman sternly commanded that
he should not approach any closer, at the
same time raising large stone in menac-
ing manner. He retreated hastily. Sub
sequently he entered the fortress again and
escaped with slight bruise by coming in
contact with a missile hurled from the
eastern battery.-By this time there was
large crowd stationed at distance devils
ing plans for compelling the reverend mad
man to evacuate his works. At last it was
agreed that several should take very small
stones and throw close around him in Or
der to get him to throw all his missiles at
them and they could capture him without
any danger. They threw at him for some
time before he pretended to notice them.
but at last he began throwing at them as
fast as he could, when the eastern battery
was completely destroyed he turned toward
the western, but to his intense surprise
that ''battery'' had vanished. He was
| completely unarmed, and he began to ad
vance toward his brother, crying that he
would surrender himself. Just at this mo-
ment some of the party who had been
slightly bruised by the stones, let fly vol
ume at him, when he fell heavily to the
earth, having been hit and hurt considera-
bly,. They then rushed upon him and
carried him to the jail.-Cnloroform was
administered to him. This narcotic ex-
erted its soothing influence and he fell in
| to profound slumber-the first
worthy of note for ten days and nights
This was resorted to very frequently. A
friend who remained with him all night
had narrow escape from death. During
an apparently lucid interval the madman
suddenly embraced him, snatched the chic
roform handkerchief, and tried to stuff it
down his throat After very severe strug-
gle the watcher threw the maniac off, and
soon subjected him to an sesthetic. Chica-

A COOP TRAVELLING COMPANION. --Fami-
lies going into the country for the summer
cannot very well take their regular physi-
clans along with them, and are often OBJ
liged to depend for medical attendance up
on entire strangers, unless. indeed, they
are beyond convenient reach of any M. d.
at ALL Under such circumstances, we
think of no more valuableand reliable trav-
cling companion than one of the handsome
and complete Family Medicine Cases put
up by the Humphreys Specific Homeopath-
ic Medicine Co. The cases are furnished
in various styles, more or less expensive,
but all contain Specific Homeopathic Rem
edies for the ordinary ailments to which
family is subject. These Specifics are the
result of long and patient study and ex-
pertinent; are prepared with the utmost
care; have borne the test of many years
and many stubborn cases, and are used and
appreciated not only by Homeopathists,
but by adherents of all the various schools
of medicine. For children especially, who
are SO liable in summer to frequent slight
illnesses, which may be easily abated if
treated promptly, they are, beyond a per-
adventure, the most acceptable, easily ad-
ministered, and reliable medicines to be
found.

A TOUGH YARN.-A strange circumstance
is related to us as having occurred on Mon
day. Several ladies had assembled in the
tentwhere the MANNED man was lying, who
was run over by the cars a few miles west
of this city, about week ago. The man
had one of his arms badly mutilated, and
the doctor found it necessary to amputate
his arm above the elbow The portion am
putated was taken short distance from
the house, wrapped in linen, placed in a
box and buried. On Monday the wounded
man became very restless, and was evident
ly experiencing torturing pain, and made
frequent efforts to move the stump of his
arm, but without avail. lie told tho ladies
that his arm was bent, and that it was caus-
ing him great pain. After trying various
efforts to relieve him. all of which were in
vain, they proceeded to where the arm was
buried, exhumed, Strengthened it out, and
returned it to Its resting place. On re-
turning they found the sufferer compare
lively relieved and able to move his remain
ing part of the arm with perfect ease and
comfort. The ladies relate this singular
incident and youch for it Corjane (GdL }

THE BRIGHT DAY.

BIZ CUCKOO.
The day is like lassie merry,
And hike lassie's laugh the breeze
The sun kisseth the ripe strawberry,
And r.peneth the EN- raid cherry,
And sleepeth on the upland leas.
The day is bithe as warbler singing,
EXuitingly singeth the breeze,
No shadow round my heart is clinging,
But Hope towards Heavens far blue IS winglnE
High over hfe's wide upland leas.
Ny life like to the bright sun shineth,
And singeth like the merry breeze,
For ove-light round its soul entwineth,
More true, more pure, than man denneth,
Deeper than deepest of the seas.
Oh could the sun shine on forever,
Could Nature smile ne'er cease to please,
Could life and love, once joined ne'er seyer,
'Twonld be Il heaven this side the river
Where happiness should never cease.

| SPLENDID JEwELRY. JAMES H. HOES, at
the old stand of A. B. Van Colt, corner of
| East Water and Wisconsin streets, is daily
making additions to his already fine stock Of
jewelry, Watches diamonds, silver and plated
goods, etc. His large store is filed and the
stock is certainly inviting, as the country and
city trade will admit at glance. Mr. HOES is
a practical j weller, and in the purchase of
goods for this market understands what he is
about, and being a gentleman in whom the
public have confidence, it is known that a
purchaser gets what he buys. AS this is the
season for testimonials and prizes, Mr.. HOES
keeps at all times large stock of goods for
these purposes, and will have made to order
at the leading manufactures any class of
goods desired. 1t should be recollected that
he is agent for the Elgin Watch Company,
and supplies the far famed watches of the
factory at manufacturers prices. The trade
will always find a large and choice stock to
select from.
