superintendent OF the St. Joseph mo.
Industrial Exposition, sends us circular
from which We copy the following:
Recognizing the Press as the great rul-
ing element of the times-as the lever
that moves the world-the Directors of
the st. Joseph Industrial Exposition de-
sire to secure and preserve in durable
shape copy of every newspaper pub
lisLed in the United States, and to that
end have ordered that this circular be
sent to all the newspapers in the land,
requesting that the editor or proprietor
OF each OF them cause to be sent to the
address given below copy of his paper.
These papers are to be neatly bound by
States, and placed on exhibition at the
Exposition, until the fourth day thereof.
when they are to be sold to the highest
bidder. and the proceeds TO be donated
to the fund for building a monument to
the lllustrious journalist and fosterer of
the press, Horace Greeley, who did SO
much to advance the interests of our
Great West. 1t is necessary that these
papers shall reach the undersigned the
first OF September, that they may be pre-
pared for exhibition at the Exposition,
which commences on the Doth of Sep
TENDER, 1873.
ALMOST AN AccIDENT.-J. G. Foster, an
attorney of this place, was coming from
Bullionville in a buggy, accompanied by
his wife. 1t was after 8 clock and quite
dark when the buggy came to the point
where the wagon road crosses the track
The cars, it seems, were running down
the grade, without steam, and there was
no way CT defining the impending danger.
But just before Mr.. Foster reached the
crossing of the track sparks from the To-
connective gave the first intimation that O
train was approaching, when he at once
placed the reins in Mrs. Fosters hands,
telling her to hold on to them, and i'm
medlately sprang in front and caught the
team by the brides. The noise of the
passing locomotive so frightened the
horses that it was with the utmost diff
Guilty that the team could be held. They
reared and plunged at fearful rate, and
one of the horses in his strup-
giles struck Mr.. Foster on the
thigh just above the knee, inhictinp
rather unpleasant bruises. A moment
more and the team would have been run
down by the train and Mr.. and Mrs. f.
either killed or severely injured. 1t is
certainly the duty of the railroad COM
pany to blow whistle before crossing a
public thoroughfare. Without this pre-
caution there is danger of serious results.
HOME HUMoR.-Samuel r. Clark. of
this city, attorney with j. C. Foster j.,
has drawn some very humorous illustra-
tons of the writings of Hudibras. They
were drawn with pen and ink and depict
several of Hudibras' characters very
amusingly. Had we the cuts represent
ing these characters they could be
printed and made to appear to proper
advantage. A view of this sketch of Mr.
Clark could not fail to interest any one
possessed of taste for the humorous.
We can allude specially to only one of
the ten illustrations, and this is repre-
sentation of the oft misquoted lines of
Hudibras-
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still
The illustration of these lines is a
man with huge club uplifted and
aimed squarely at the Uranium of some
obdurate opponent, while the other hand
is locked in the hair of his head. 1t
is very apt picture of Hudbras' idea
OF attempting to hammer opinions into
the head of an adversary, and shows the
necessity of resorting to appeals to man s
understanding rather than to brute
force.
SHOOTING FOR FUS.-Yesterday after
noon Phil. Malloy, of Bullionville,
stepped into the saloon of Thompson &
Guadin, Lacour street, where several
men were sitting at the time, and after
passing few words with the bar-keeper,
drew his revolver and fired, aiming d.
rectly at a swinging lamp. The globe
and chimney of the lamp were shivered
to atoms, and two balls passed through
the ceiling. No arrest was made at the
time. Soon after Malloy went into
saddler shop on Main street, and while
there fired his pistol again. Complaint
was made before Justice Stoutenburgb;
a warrant was issued and Deputy Sheriff
Hoag made the arrest. The offender
was fined $50 and costs, leaving bill of
500 or thereabouts. In default of pay
ment he was committed to the County
JAIL where he will have an opportunity
of rejecting upon his folly and wicked
ness. Ninety days in chain gang
would have salutary effect upon such
fellows.
A DAsTARDLv Acr.-About IL o'clock
yesterday morning fellow whose name
we have not learned entered lodging
house in this city, and after being shown
to room made an improper proposal to
the lady of the house, who, being wholly
unprotected, gave an alarm, which
brought some Of the male inmates of the
house to the rescue. The fellow also
made dastardly attack upon the lady.
who, from motives of delicacy, declined
to prosecute him. There are men in
this town who have no regard whatever
for any of the amenities of life, and will
not scruple to insult or strike woman.
The law, even if enforced against such
offenders, affords no adequate punish
ment for such infamous proceedings, and
unless stop is put to the prevailing
ruffiianism, the people themselves will
be compelled to adopt means outside the
forms of law for their own protection
and for the preservation of peace and
order.
THEATER.-This evening the great his,
trionic play, dramatized from the work
of Harriet Beecher Stowe-"U Uncle Toms
Cabin will be presented for the first
time in this city. Carrie Carter will take
land no doubt ably sustain) the charac-
ter of Topsey, and Bella Bird will con-
tribute to the evenings entertainment
by personating Miss Ophelia. We be-
speak full house, as lots of fun and sem
timent combined will be vouchsafed II
