SIGN OF
The Big Hat +!

AS the sign denotes, it is tru-
ly a Hat Store, both for Ladies
and Gents. Every person who
visits Independence is familiar
with Turner's Millinery and Fur
nishing Goods Store. Last spring
they added to their stock in the
shape of Gents Hats and Fur
nishing Goods, making it truly
a Hat Store. We say it (and
without boasting), that we have
as large and as fine an assort-
ment as can be found in any
store of our class Of goods west
of Chicago.
To the Ladies Gas usuaD, we
solicit a share of your patronage.
To the Geats-remember it is
truly, surely, and the only Hat
Store in the city. Our Facility
and Experience for purchasing
stock is second to none; cxpen-
ses small consequently our
prices we guarantee.
Remember the place, The
Sign of the Big Hat.

The Results OF a Triaing imprint.

Two or three years ago (says Mr..
Grant in his ''History Of the News
paper Prcss,'') a striking illustration
of the results of a trifling misprint
occurred in a speech by Mr.. John
Bright, in which he said: ''But !
deny altogether that the rich alone
are qualified to legislate tor the
poor, any more than the poor are
qualified to legislate for the rich. "
The sentence was given in the
report which appeared in the Times
as follows: "But l deny altogether
that the rich alone are qualified to
legislate for the poor, and more
that the poor alone are qualified to
lcgislatc for the rich" The Fort
nightly ReUie,c accepting the report
Of the Times as correct, made a
furious onslaughter on Mr.. Bright
for saying that the poor alone were
qualified to legislatc for the rich.
Mr.. Bright, with his wonted impet-
uosity, severely assailed the Fort
nightly Reuie,c for a gross perver-
sion Of what he had said, that Jour
nal not having stated that its ami
madvcrsions were grounded on the
report of that particular speech as
given in the Times. An investiga-
ton into the matter took place,
when it was found that the substitu-
ton, not of u word only, but a of
single letter, had caused all the
misconception. Mr.. Bright had
said ''any more than the poor"
whereas the reader had substituted
the letter "d'' for the letter .''y,"
making the word "and" instead of
"any."

THE MISCHIET.MAKER.
By JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

"Tbis is dull enough work. said dear little
With the fragrance of June in her breath;
''Of living on rose leaves and taking my ease
I'm just about tired to death!
Dear, mel
I'm just about tired to death!'
81 can't raise the wind in this poky old place."
Said the breeze. with Il dolorons sigh;
$50 my quarters I'll change, II it brings me dis
must have blow out or die!
Dear, mel"
Said the breeze, with dolorous sigh.
SO the zephyr quite out of her latitude falls,
And in search of adventure goer forth.
Receiving some hints as to tempcsts and squalls
From her friends in the East and the North,
Who say,
YOU'D better keep north east-by-nOrth."
She found small spark with the tiniest glow,
And declared il would be a great shame
To let it die out just for want OF blow;
SO she famed 1t up into flame.
All, me!
Such beautiful, terrible flame!
1t eapcd and il orackled and still the breeze blew,
And thought it was capital fun
To see the black smoke, as it gathered and grew
And put out the light Of the sun.
''Just sce,"
She exclaimed, ''what decd have dOne!"
But she wearied at last of her frolicsOme rout,
And the joy of her turbulent reign.
''Iiow wish that this wretched old fire was out,
And in my quarters again!
o, yes,
In my nice, cosy quarters AGAIN"
But the flame she had kindled with vigorous
breath
TO her bidding refused to give heed.
But went hurryiny on in its dance of death,
And mOckingly laughed ut her deed!
"Aha!"
How it Knocked at her ignorant deed!
"Dcar me-" said the zephyr ''now where shall

To hide my disgrace and my shame?
All little thought such ruin would grow
From the spark that famed to fame!
Dear me!
And nobody else is to blame!
"This caution give to all brcezcs that blow,
And to people who gossip about,
BE careful of sparks, lest yOu kindlc glow

that something was not out of place
or awry, she stopped in at friends
who had lived lately in London, and
told her of her embarrassment.
"Why," said her friend, sit is
that hat"
''The hat! What is the matter
with the hat" said the young wife,
taking it off her head. "My bonnet
did not come from Paris, and the
hat is re j beauty"

is a highly improper head covering
to be worn in church, an abomina-
ton to English women. Your
wearing it was serious misdemean-
or-thc vericst miss is not allowed

that your hat was wrong, people

a bonnet"

An American lady the other day,
in London, went to church in 4 hat,
not knowing the English prejudice
concerning that article being worn
in the sanctuary. All her friends
looked at her very gravely, and
spoke coldly. She could not imag-
inc what was the matter, and asked
her husband if there was anything
wrong about her head. He scru-
tinixed her, and told her no, but
still she could see that it was the
object of attention, and that many
looked at her askance. Glad when

WOMAN OF THE PEN.
Prominent Writers nt tho Capital.

Correspondence of the Missouri Republican.
Another of the well known writers
at the capital is Harriet Prescott
Spofford, the beautiful author of the
"Amber Gods" whose sudden and
fascinating appearance startled the
world Of letters many years ago.
Harriet Prescott was at that time
a charming maiden yet in her teens.
Since she has found her "Royal"
and become an equally charming
matron; while the then building
reputation has grown to be the full
blown flower that crowns maturer
years. One of1he pleasantest little
''items" connected with this woman
is the beauty of her domestic life.
Her marriage may be said to be one
Of those rare institutions which
make plausible claim to Il heavenly
origin, and the lover-like devotion
which appears always to character
ize the marital bearing of "Hattie"
and "Royal" is a subject Of contin-
ual and pleasant remark on the part
of their friends. Spofford is as
much of "a poet as his wife. Not i'll
the literal sense of rhyme-making,
perhaps, but nature made him an
idea!ist; and together their har-
monies combine in one of the sweet
est domestic poems marital expert
cncc has ever produced. This win

MINTWOoD.
Among the fresher faces in this
corps Of literary aspirants is that
of "Mintwood" Of the New York
World. Mintwood is by some de-
nominated the handsomcst CORE
spondent in Washington; while hel
brilliant Congressional "studies'
are unqucstionably among the most
readable press contributions of the
season. "Who is Mintwood?" quer
les the interested reader. She is q
young lady of some summers, OF
winters, Pm not sure which, mol
would it do to venture upon the
number, for it is a well established
fact that biographers arc apt to gel
themselves into trouble by meddllne
with anything SO commonplace al
age. She is, however, Of very
charming personnel. A tall, grace
full blonde, with such magnificent
hazel eyes that they make her a sub
.ject Of remark wherever she is seen
Her hair, which is light brown
hangs free from every confinement
in a wavy mass upon her shoulders
Her face is pleasantly intellectual
and her manners partakc of tina
easy, graceful abandon so character
istic Of her pen. She talks ver.
much as she writes, and is altogeth
cr one of our most promising liter
ary stars. "But," interrupts my
inpatient querist, "you haven't ye
told us who she is''. Well, her rea
name is not quite so pretty as he1
nom de 1,lume, and, furthermore
she might object to having it made
known. Sub rosa, however, l will
say that she is intimately addressed
as Miss Mary Wager, Of New York
in which city she has been engaged
for several years as an occasiona
contributor to all the principa
dailics.
MRS. BARNARD.
On the first day of the assemblag'
of the present session Of Congress
the house was made the scene o1
quite sensational flutter by a mos
unexpected apparition in the repor
ters' gallery. In the very front row
Of seats, in that very exclusive and
literary inclosure, woman haC
taken her place, and that, too, with
n most serious air of business
What did it mean? Members look
ed quizzingly up from the floor anG
reporters looked quizzingly dowr
from the gallery, while it seemed
that both parties were equally a,
sea. Meanwhile. this feminine in
truder took out pencil and paper and
quietly set to work. OF course she
was a target for all eyes; and, O
course, the blood made many extr:
excursions through the veins of the
sensitive face; but, nevertheless
she scribbled on all that day, all thu
next day, and all the succeeding
days. AS regular as the clocl
marked the assembling hour, Mrs
Barnard was in her place; until from
tolerance she grew to favoritisn,
and from favoritism to be regarded
as an indispensable part Of tina,

Steamships, have been heard from as total
wrecds, having been dashed to pieces while
amid huge icebergs and plains of ice during a
terrible hurricane. On an average each of these
vessels carried about 100 men, employed as seal
hunters and out OF those 1000 human souls only
175 have been accounted for The large MAORI
thy of those unfortunates have left families be-
hind, exclusively dependent on their support
Many others have not yet been heard from,
but all those recOunted above were totally
wrecked and crews have not been accounted
for except in very rare instance, and the few
who were saved could not give any definite in
telligence of those they left behind &
During the night of the loss of the Retriever,
16 sail of vessels were hemmed in by high
boulders and bergs of ice over which tremend-
impossible at times to discover the islands, and
charge after charge of ungovernable ships
against the mighty barriers, soon cleft the
bows and bulwarks asunder, and consigned
many stalwart forms and brave hearts to a
watery grave.

Upon the rudely heaped boulders and flakes of
ice were strewn masts, yards, rigging, clothing

still were the blood smeared corpses crushed to
death by plains of ice closing on them. Some
were actually cut in two by the powerful jam
ming of the foes, and others half drowned and
exhausted died from the intense frost. The
stiffened bodies lay strewn around in the most
CHASTITY attitudes. The terrors which surround
ed their death were pictured upon the blanched
face of every corpse, while many of them could
hardly be recognized they had been so badly
mangled.

LONDON, May 27.-Despatches announcing
the passage by the United States Senate of the
resolution advising President Grant to negotiate
for the additional article to the treaty of WASH
ington were received yesterday. The effect of
the favorable vote is seel in the market for
American securities. This forenoon they opened
firmer with an advance on the prices of Satur-
day. The London journals comment at some
length upon the result of the Senate's delibera-
ton.
The Times says the action of the United
States Senate is important, as justifying Eng

she has taken with relation to indirect claims

which he made an Importance reference to the
treaty of Washington, was correctly reported

stated in that speech, that he understood when
at Washington the indirect claims were not to
be presented. AS member of the High Joint
Commission he deemed it his duty to make q
fair and correct statement, but he declined to
enter into details without notice. s
Mr., Bouverie then gave the requisite notice
that he should again put his question.
Sir George Jenkinson asked if it was true
that the remaining Fenian prisoners had been
released as reported.
Mr.. Gladstone replied no, at which there was
some laughter.
