Sale of the States r. r. Lien

The action of the last Legisla-
ture of Missouri, whereby the Gov
ernor was authorised to test the
validity of the sales of certain rail
roads made several Years ago, has
been severely criticised both at home
and Abroad The following article
from the Jefferson City Tribune is a
clear and Ineligible statement of the
luatter, and will serve to correct some
erroneous impressions. The amount
Involved is $s,s5o,Ooo against the
Missouri Pacific, and $4,S50,OOo
against the North Missouri.
"Gov. Woodson, Attorney General
Ewing aud Brittou A. Hill, Esq, the
laILer employed by Mr.. Ewing under
the act of last winter to aid him in
testing the question of lien against
certain railroads, were i'll consulta-
lion i'll this city last week on this
subject.
We referred in our last issue to the
amicable arrangement for testing the
question, entered into with the at
iorney of the Pacific. lie withdrew
from the arrangement but as the re-
suit of the consultation referred to,
Gov. Woodson assented to the prop
osition 10 proceed to advertise the
TPacific and North Missouri roads.
Ihe sale of the former is to tske place
on the 10th, and the latter on the 22d
OF December.
Qfcourse this movement is not in
hostility to the roads. 1t IS simply
TO test fLe question whether or not
the sale of the roads by special acts
Of the Legislature, did not violate
that provision of the constitution de.
claring that the State should never
release its lien. The Legislature di-
reeted the Attorney General to test
the question, leaving of course, the
manner of doing 80 entirely to his
ownjudgment. Gov. Woodson, it is
understood, is merely endeavoring to
facilitate the views Of the Attorney
General in respect to the best mode
Of fdischarging his duty.
The advertisement is to appear on
the 18th inst. 1t is supposed the At
torney ofthe Pacific, Judge Baker,
will ut once apply for an Injunction
to the U. S. Circuit Court to stop the
sale, when the austion of making the
injunction perpetual will bring up the
matter IN that court OH its own merits.

singular part of the transaction took
place The owner asked for hatchet,
and, before anyone could imagine what
he was about to do, he walked to a certain
place in the wall, known only to him.
self, and proceeded to chop away
the plastering, and in short
time dragged from behind the broken
lath and plaster a bag of gold containing
$4,000. Before the crowd present could
realize what was the matter or how this
strange discovery had been made, the
strange man had got on board of the east
ern bound North Missouri train, then
leaving the depot, and started East. The
question naturally suggests itself, Whose
money was it? the mans who sold or the
mans who purchased the house? Who
put it there, and how did the stranger
know of it? 1t is one of the most singu-
lar transactions in real estate ever brought
to public notice in Kansas City.
Since the above was written it has been
discovered that the old Frenchman had
gold and silver sufficient stored away in
key beneath the house to purchase the
finest residence in Kansas City. An old
servant states that the old miser had
brought this gold and silver with him
from Texas where he had accumulated it
suddenly and in a most mysterious man.
ner Some say he obtained 1t on the
Mexican frontier; others assert it was the
result of several years trading among the
Indians. But wherever he obtained 1t,
he succeeded in keeping his treasure a
secret and paid taxes upon none of it. He
is now on his way to France.-hdnsds

An Alpine Adventure.

IT was on the 10Th of September of the
present year. John Jessup, of Cincinnati,
and his daughter, Ellen Jessup, only
nineteen years old, and four Englishmen,
found themselves sweltering with heat at
the base of Mount Gross Glockner, in the
Tyrol; and, wishing to cool themselves
in the snow at the top of the mountain,
commenced its ascent. When they at
tanned height of 5000 feet from the sea
level there was a violent change of wealth
er. 1t began to snow furiously. The
guides advised against further ascent
Mr.. Gush-a dashing young Londoner of
the party-pushed on. When height of
10000 feet had been reached the guides
refused to go any farther. The air was
rare and bitter, and all were shivering
with cold and blinded with snow. Still
Gush pressed onward and upward and
Miss Ellen Jessup followed. The re-
mainder of the party had gothigh enough.
The guides were shamed into following
the two adventurous young people, but
finally they came to another dead halt, and
said they had positively taken their last
step toward certain destruction. Miss Jes-
sup appealed to them, saying, I'VE can
not leave him aloner" She made a still
stronger appeal by paving one of the
guides an extra sum of money, and he
agreed to accompany her up the heights.
dangers surrounded them, but
lDcy ucNcT lOSt SlSul Vi liz
plunged on through the snow-storm and
over the icy Drinks ofyawning chasms. The
girl and the guide followed. At length
Gush fell and was lost in an eddying
whirlpool ofsnow. The brave American
girl uttered cry, but she was yet careful
not to faint. In minute she and the
guide reached the spot where the young
man had disappeared. He had fallen into
gorge filed with snow, and was seen
struggling sixty feet below. That was the
end of Gush's ascent of the mountain.
Miss Jessup ordered his guide to tie the
cord around her waist, and thus she was
lowered into the abyss. She reached the
struggling Englishman just as he was
about to give up from exhaustion, and,
Selling him in her arms, the two made
their way safely to the summit of the
precipice. Gush had gone far enough,
but not as far as Miss Jessup, who imper-
lied her life to save his. If Gush has any
feelings of a man, and if Miss Jessups
heart is in her work-well, it is the plain
est case ever presented. In Alpine ad
ventures such a rescue as this has never
taken place. The Federal Council of
Switzerland awarded Miss Jessup gold
medal Tor saving human life. Cincin-
matt ought to feel proud of such a repre-
sentative abroad. Gush's banner, with its
strange device, was left in that Alpine
ditch, and the real hero was woman.-

HALF of all ordinary diseases would be
banished from civilized life, and dys-
pepsia become almost unknown, if every

gest full meal and pass it out of the
