REPUBLICAN SPLIT IN MIssoURI.-The Re-
publican party in Missouri is hopelessly
split, the point at issue being whether the
existing acknowledgements in the State
should be maintained or %abrogated. In the
State Convention two resolutions-majority
and minority-were reported, and on the
question of adoption the split came-439
delegates voting to adopt the minority reso-
luton, which declares the time arrived in
Missouri for a removal of all political disa-
bilities, and 342 delegates voting against
that resolution and in favor of the majority
report, which virtually endorses 4 con-
tinuance of existing restrictions. Senator
Drake, it is almost s%uperfluous to say, led
the proscriptionist wing. Senator Schurz
led the enIranchisement party, and under
his guidance a secession movement took
place, the Convention splitting in two
bodies, which met in separate apartments,
adopted different platforms, and nominated
different candidates for the governorship,
the present executive, McClurg, receiving
the proscriptionist. and B. Gratz Brown
the reimbursement nomination. The
Democrats have held no Convention, nor
will they, but in all probability throw their
vote in favor Of the liberal candidate, Mr..
Brown. The appearances indicate that
he will carry the State by good majority,
| which all real friends of a government OF
the people will earnestly desire.

papers and public letters To the country
couched in language that you fully nnder-
stand and without attempting to show off
as "A learned statesman, an intelligent public
would be much mora generous In its criti-
cisms.
There is no question, Jeems, but that you
are clothed with much authority, and that
you are u aceighty man 1--WE mean in an avoir-
not TO become a common offender against
good taste and propriety. Now, in your
division OF mO5eties, you differ very widely
from several gentlemen tn It wrote diction-
aries, and the difference is so palpable. un-
accompanied by any reason, that if these
eminent authors had not passed away and
there was no law against dueling. and you
were not the renowned forder of that classic
stream, the Rubicon, they might possibly
demand what is called satisfaction.
Now, it is no doubt true that the late
Revolution, in which you bore so conspica-
oas a part, produced some social effects de-
trimental TO society, still words are supposed
to have the same meaning they did ten
years ago, and scholars are thought 70 still
understand the force of language; and tor
you, Jeems, to undertake TO lecture Chan
cellor Waddell, is right heaUy operation.
The truth is, that many well informed per-
| sons who have been close readers of your
many productions, have intimated that you
are success in using language to conceal
| ideas; but granting this to be true. decent
regard should be paid to the memory OF
| Noah Webster; for, il history be true, il
took him longer to complete his dictionary
than it did you, Jeems, to grow famous.

Nowhere, perhaps, says Prof, Agassis, is
the physical a,-d moral deterioration OF
pure races SO clearly shown as in Brazil
The hybrid between the Indian and the
negro, called cafuZ0, has none of the delica-
cy of the mulatto; his complexion is dark,
his hair long, wavy and curling. and his
character, instead of being confiding, but
indolent, is described by Agassis az exhib-
iting n happy combination between the
jolly disposition Of the negro and the ener-
getic, enduring powers of the Indian
The hybrid between the white and half
breed is called the mameluco, and is describ-
ed as being pallid, eheminate. feeble, lazy
and rather obstinate, the Indian influence
having apparently obliterated the higher
| characteristics of the white, without i'm
| parting any of its own energies TO the Off
| spring. Noticeable exceptions TO this pic
| ture may be found in the half-breeds of the
| semi civilized communities OF our south
ern Indians. 1t is very remarkable that the
Indian, crossing with either negro or a
white, makes deeper impress on his prog
eny than the other races. and in accordance
with this fact, it is observed that, in farther
crossing, the pure Indian characteristics are
resumed and those of the other races
! thrown of. LET any one" says Prof
| Agassis. "who doubts the evil of the mix
ture of races, and is inclined, from mis-
taken philanthropy, to break down all bar.

From the Brandon Republican.


The reply of Dr. waddell and his col
leagues. of the University of Mississippi, to
Judge Hudson, of Nazoo city, has drawn
from Gov. Alcorn 3 letters letter charac-
teristic of the man. if the "dashing hero"
who plunged his fiery and foaming steed
into the ..Rubicon" in 1861, has a weakness
for one thing above another, it is for aCritiag
letters. If we may be allowed to use slang
phrase. Jeemes is eortiSt, but such an one
as has not won a very enyiable reputation,
the truth of which is clearly demonstrated in
the production above referred tH, which per-
haps, in this line, is the crowning act of his
folly.
1t is too often the case that party friends
and changers on in their intercourse with
one occupying high position and welding
power, are profuse in theirtiattery, and say
only to him that which they Suppose he
likes to hear. This course, no doubt, has
been pursued towards the Sage of Coaho-
ma" and has been the innocent cause of his
attempting to appear as learned man,
which in the estimation of some, has pro-
duced pity and regret, and with others at
least disgust, if not contempt.
Now, the letter from DIR. WaddelI to Hud-
son is not marked by any great parade of
scholarship. but a plain, frank answer to a
plain question propounded to him-.just such
an answer as the profound scholar, great
educator and Christian gentleman would
make.
Jeemes saw this letter in print. and felt
called upon to publish one nimself and to
lecture DIR. Waddell. The lecture part di-
rected the attention of the public to his let
ter. and showed the weakness of the man.
When he received the learned Chancel-
lor's letter, why not say, 'Your favor to
hand. In the main l agree with you, but
in view OF present surroundings we had
better say as little as possible about it; but
the institution must be maintained exclu-
sively for the white race" Instead of this,
he commences in his usual turkey STRAIT man
ner: Your answer is in the form of a the
sis. Allow me to PREMISE etc. Now,
Jeems ought to know that sensible and
educated people are disgusted with such
arrogance and tomfoolery.
Now, Jeems, you DON'T take our paper.
| but in our Judgment if you were to consid-
or your interest you would send US So and
| ask the honor to be placed on our subscrip-
| ton list. You would find that the Repub-
| lican dealt in stubborn facts We would

| Don't suppose for an instant that you can
palm off on the public kind Of metaphys-
| ical mysticism for learning. And, J-ems,
we would admonish you that your imagin-
alton is not as fertile as some, and therefore
| you must draw sparingly upon it.
| You will observe, Jeems, from the fore
going, that some people have a cultivated

HARD AND SOFT BOILED EGes.-

HARD AND SOFT BOILED EGGs.--
1t is understood that eggs are more easily
digested if ''rare" than "well" done;
but which portion of the egg resists diges-
tion---the 'white," which is nearly pure
albumen, or the yolk? Late experiments
have been made in this direction with am
pie opportunity of demonstrating that
healthy gastic juice, which the stomach
secrets for purposes of digestion, will not
act readily on firmly coagulated white of
egg, even if cut in pieces not larger than
ordinary peas (and that is as fine as peo-
pie usually chew their foodl) while it
acts with facility upon the more brittle
yolk. The reason is that the coagulated
albumen is very compact and tenacious,
and would need to be ''ground to pow
dea" to accept the chemical afinities Of
the gastsic juice.
Pour into basin boiling water suffi-
bient to cover the eggs, put the eggs into
the water and let them remain 10 or Is
minutes, according TO circumstances and
your own Taste; keep the water nearly up
to boiling temperature, but dont't boil the
eggs. Fresh eggs will cook more quickly
than old ones, and of course small ones
quicker than large ones. By this process
you will find the yolks we'll cooked, while
the white is left in a condition to digest
readily.

A mother in Prussia, while taking
leave of her son who was starting for the
army, brought him sort of amulet. such
as good many people in Europe still
believe in, to make him bullet-proof:
The son laughingly pushed it aside, and
taking some of the gold pieces which his
parents had given him, remarked that
they should be the only talisman ne would
take along. During the battle of Mars la
Tour, the young student was struck by q
bullet and fell to the ground. He thought
his last hour had come, but when tfe pain
of the first shock gradually ceased he
looked at his breast and found that the
bullet had not penetrated to the skin. 1t
had been arrested by the last gold piece
which the youth had in his vest pocket,
and this had been completely followed
out by the bullet.

De sCENDANTs OF SHAKsPEARE.-
Several of the descendants of Shake
speare's sister, Joan, bearing strong
likeness to the great poet, were, in 1922,
living in and near Stratford on-Ayon.
and mostly in state Of poverty. The
nearest living descendants were the
Hartes, of Tewksbury, the representa-
tive of whom, in 1918, was William
Shakespeare Harte, journeyman chair-
maker, earning only eighteen shillings
week, with wife and several children
This poor man was forced by want to
sell the freehold of Shakespeare's two
houses at Stratford about the year 1905,
for which he obtained only two hundred
pounds, leaving, after mortgage and
expenses had been paid, only thirty
pounds as the wreck of the fortunes OF
this neglected family. Some persons
bearing the name of the great bard.
from Stratford, and its vicinity, and
claiming their descent from his family,
are now living in the United States, one
of which the compiler of this notice for
the Calendar met with frequently in a
village in the interior of Pennsylvania
where he is now working at the trade OF
a tailor. He certainly bears noticeable
resemblance to the busts of the illustri-
Gus poet.
