Thu Patrons i'm MissOuri-A New De.
parture.

The members of the Executive Com
mittee of the State Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry, Capt. W. M.
Price, of Saline J. G. Gill, of Barton,
and A. j. Stewart, of Livingston coun-
ties, returned to their homes July t.
The object of the visit of these gentle
men here was to make inquiries rs to
the possibility of making business ar
rangements with merchants and manu-
facturers which shall aid in furthering
the objects of the organization. The
oranges propose, in their organized
capacity to abolish as far as possible the
system of long credits and dependence
on multitude of middlemen in the
purchase OF supplies, for other consump-
ton or use. The idea is to deal through
the officers of the organization, directly
with manufacturers or, if that be i'm
possible, as nearly at first hand as prac-
ticable. In order to carry out this idea,
it is intended that every transaction
shall be for cash, paid at the time of
giving the order.
In laying this point before the lead
ing merchants OF the city, the commit
tee found some difficulty at first in OBJ
tanning credence. The proposition to
deal only for cash, coming SO directly in
conflict with precedent, and coming,
moreover, from the intending purchaser,
instead of from the seller, is so utterly
novel that the old business men APP
peared doubtful of the genuineness of
the proposition, especially as they APP
pear all, or nearly all, to have failed to
keep themselves posted as to the progress
of the organization. Finally, however,
light began to dawn upon these gen
tlemen, and the committee met with a
degree of success in making favorable
arrangements which rendered them per-
fectly satisfied with the results of their
labors.
For prudent reasons, the gentlemen
of the committee withheld from our re-
porter the names of the firms with
which arrangements have been made,
but the members of the oranges will be
informed of them by private circular

A Rejected Lovers Revenge.

Taking a seat just behind the happy
pair in the church, he racked his brains
for means of revenge, and looked like
seventeen Othellos concentrated in one.
Finally a CHASTITY smile crept over his
face, he raised up in his seat, and nab
bed a large black bug that was crawling
upon pillar hard by, and gently
dropped him between his unconscious
rivals shirt collar and neck, and then
leaned back with virtuous and Chris
tian air of satisfaction. The bug soon
made his presence felt, and that other
fellow began to twist and scratch him
self against the back of his seat and
looked uneasy, and cast unhappy glances
at the minister and affecting ones at the
fair being by his side. The bug evil
IDENTIFY grew more and more impatient
at his Imprisonment, and turned him
self loose, graphing around with a
recklessness devilishly suggestive OF
big black spiders or scorpions, and that
other fellow could stand it no longer,
but, casting one wild, startled look al
the congregation, cleared the space be.
tween him and the door at two bounds.

The Vienna Crash.

The "crash, as an event, is over, but
the effects still linger on. There is no
disputing the fact that money operations
in Vienna are paralyzed One of the
best newspapers, the German Gazette,
has made careful estimate of the total
loss during the past two months. The
calculation is based upon comparison
of the quotations of all the stocks of the
Vienna Exchange on April 10 and June
16. In other words, it is summing up
of the depreciation of values. The
aggregate is the enormous sum of
569, O00,O 600 forms, say 1894, 600, 000
Nor is this all. There were heavy losses
that cannot be classified under stock
quotations. 1 mean protested notes and
checks, business failures, insolvent
private companies, and the like. 1t
would be safe to add 75,000,000 OF
100, 600, 900 to get the total amount OF
perturbation. The principal items in
the long list, which of course 1 cannot
quote entire, are the Anglo-Austriar
Bank, depreciation II, 900, 900; the Loan
and Trust Company, 1885, 900; the
Union Bank, 1875, 000.- Vienna Cor

Drawing a Bead on Sheridan.

n correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Press relates the following incident:
In Georgia L heard an incident in con-
nection with Lieutenant General Sheri-
dan, which little Phil will read with
some little surprise, and lay down the
paper with some grateful feelings toward
the gallant soldier who saved his life.
The night previous to the surrender of
Lee at Appomattox, General John b.
Gordon, who commanded Stonewall
Lee, commanding the cavalry, and Gen
eral Longstreet, held consultation
with General r. E. Lee. At this con-
sultation. it was agreed that General
Gordon should try the Federal strength
on the following day. Sheridan was in
command opposite Gordon. In accord
ance with the programme, Gordon made
his demonstration the next day and was
met by Sheridan's cavalry, which he
CALAMITY repulsed, but finding Sheridan
supported by large numbers of infantry
fell back and sent this intelligence to
General r. f. Lee. Upon its receipt
General Lee ordered the firing to cease,
and displayed the white flag, under
made. During the cessation of hostili-
ties, and while Generals Grant and Lee
were in consultation, General Sheridan,
with large retinue of officers and men
about one hundred in all-was seen
approaching General Gordon's lines.
OF course, this cavalcade, as it came
dashing across the plain, challenged the
attention of Gordon's entire force.
CHANGING to turn his head, General Cor
don saw long, lank Mississippian with
in few yards of him deliberately train
ing his cooked rifle on the approaching
horseman. Gordon dashed at the marks
man and rode him down, with an ex-
clamation more emphatic than refined.
"What do you mean, sir?" Numbered
the irate Gordon "don't you know
firing has ceased by my order ?" 81
know, General" replied Mississippi, as
he gathered himself up, "but thought
it were redgment comm agin us, and

The Fastest Running Time on Record
Made i'm Two Successive Heats.

At Sacramento, Cal, on the 9Th inst,
California achieved a reputation for
speed second to none. The fastest time
ever made in a running race III the
United States was beaten in the first
heat. the three first heats taken together
being the fastest time ever made in the
world. The purse was for $3.50 The
horses entered were b. III. Thornhill,
Nell Flaherty, Thad. Stevens, Queen,
and Twenty Cents. The first heat was
won by Thornhill in LAB, beating
Flaherty half length, stamping both
horses as the fastest running horses in
the United States. In the second heat
Flaherty made the half-mile in 81, lead
ing Thornhill, coming home ahead,
again repeating 1 :43, the same time as
the first heat. This was something
wonderful, nothing like it being on rec
ord in the timetable of this country.
In the third heat Thornhill was let to
the half mile, passing in 5Oh. The
third, fourth and fifth heats were won
by neither, Thad. Steven winning all
in :43s, 1:46l, and l AS. The five heats
were made in S:04, being the fastest time
on record in the world. California

A New Use Of Postal Cards.

The Courier DIES Etats Unis is au-
thority for the statement that the adop-
ton of the postal system has great
ly increased the traffic in sympathetic
inks, department of trade which has
heretofore attained only insignificant
proportions, as a minister to clandes-
tine correspondence between impressi-
bic misses and Polish Counts in braided
coats.
OF course, in the use of the liquid as
ordinarily manufactured, there is no
secresy whatever, but merely moment
airy pretense of it, Citron-juice ink, for
example, calls for nothing more thanthe
ordinary heat of the hand to develop it
in red upon ordinary paper; while the
sympathetic ink of commerce is made to
reveal itself by means equally simple.
The latter is generally composed of one
part sulphuric acid to twenty parts wa
ter, and though perfectly colorless when
held against the light, yields an intense
black when held before the fire or sub
jected to heat-current. The principle
is very simple; the portions of the pa
per impregnated with acid are carbon
lied at comparatively low tempera-
ture.
IL the statement Of the Courier is
authentic, there is, then, room for con-
siderable invention in bringing this
crude idea TO a kind of civilized perfec-
tion. -New York E'Uening Post.

readily gave the oath, and it was true
one, for M. Strakosch certainly meant
well, though it is positive that II he had
been allowed to have his own way, Ade-
lima Patti would never have found
husband at all. When Monster Louis
Sebastien Henry Roger de Cahazac,
Marquis of Caux, Equerry to the EN-
peror, and leader-general of cotillions at
the court balls, presented himself, so
many irnpediments were thrown athwart
the marriage that the Marquis at last
tod M. Strakosch very significantly that
if things were not suffered to work more
smoothly he should treat it as personal
affront, and hold his interlocutor re-
sponsible. Nj. de Caux handled his
sword as deity as M. Strakosch did his
fiddle bow-so the wedding came of.
