MISSOURI U. S. SENATOR.

The Legislature of the Siateof Missouri
meets in January, and it will devoive OH
that body to elect Senator IN the place
Of Carl Schurz, whose term expires on the
18th Of March, 1875. The field is full OF
aspiIaats, but they are not exactly trst>
class men, unless Phelps and Brown can
BE- called so from long experience in pub
lie life. The man that the people OF Mis-
souri, should haye to represent them in the
Senate of the United States is Gen. A. w.
DoNIpHAN-he is in all respects of Sena
toria! stature, and is the peer of any man
now clothed with that high honor. He is
the noblest Roman of them all. The
State of Missouri owes it to Doniphan to
put him in the Senate. He has given
lustre to the fame Of that great State. His
unparalleled and successful march into
Mexico, across the desert, reflected glory
on the volunteer force Of the United States
in the war with Mexico. He IS a man of
wonderful influence and stands unrivaled
as pure and stainless statesman. and
with the opportunity that seat in the U.
s. Senate would give him, would furnish
evidence that he is truly great man, of
the order of Clay. Webster, Benton and
Calhoun. If Missouri has any ambition to
have representative in the halls of Con
gress, that will tower Ebove all other
Senators, let her this winter elect the
greatest man in her borders. Gen, Doni>
plan is gentleman of the purest morals;
an untarnlshed public and private record,
and talents of higher order than is now
found IN legislative halls. We think now
is Missouri's opportunity to send to the
Senate of the United States statesman of
which the State and natisn will be proud,
and add q true patriot to the cohnci}s of
the nation, incorruptib]e pure as gold
tried in the fire.

sell early, realized, taking one year with
another, the highest prices for their gram.
We noticed that when, from any cause

The PERFoRAT1Na POWER OF Roors.
1T is indeed wonderful how easily the
roots of plants and trees bore through
the hard, impacted soil in search of
nourishment. They use for this pur-
pose sort of awl, of immense power,
situated at the end of the root, and ca
pable, with the aid of other root
machinery, of thrusting aside heavy
weights, and getting through almost
any distractions. Yet the awl consists
of only mass of microscopic absorbent
cells formed by protoylasm or vegetable
mucus-the fluid in which the vital ac-
ton is first set up. The roots of the
elm and the maple will bore through
the hardest soil of walks or streets, en-
ter drains, twine about waterpipes, and
penetrate through the seams of stone
and brick structures. The roots of some
plants have been known to pass through
eighteen inches of solid brick work,
and make their appearance in wine
cellar below. Plants have vast power
in overcoming obstacles, when foraging
for food. They are like hungry ami
NAL which no fences can restrain when
there is food beyond. The movements
of roots in soils proceed on certain
principles of utility in connection with
the welfare of the plant. Some need
much more moisture than others, and
the roots will drive through the rocks
to obtain it; others need silicious food,
and will penetrate through clay bank
to reach the desired foraging ground.
The urgency with which nature drives
plants and animals in pursuit of food
is almost irresistible. of COM

NYMPHs IN OCEAN BATHING. corr
respondent at Long Branch furnishes
this:
In the afternoon come from the Ocean
House six or eight tender minxes with
bundles, looking cautiously behind
them. They pick their way down the
steps, accompanied by their guardian
of safe and proper age, and are watched
from the bank by their mother and
aunt in evening dress. There are at
this time no more than fifteen people,
all told, on the whole stretch of sand
from Sandy Hook to West End. The
minxes disappear in the disreputable
shanties that are meant for dressing
cases, and presently they emerge in
woolen blouses and "pants," holding
each others hands and emitting little
screams as the soft, white sand touches
their tender feet, and looking around to
see that nobody is photographing them.
One can see their fragile bodies shiver,
even from the top of the bank, when
they step, with bated breath and anx-
ious looks, into the white spume that
is rolling and foaming up the beach.
Two or three steps and they are ankle
deep in the ocean. At that an amor
GUS wave, swoolen with desire, makes
at them. They see it coming; the
clasp of their hands tightens; they take
deep breath; the defiance of their
sex is in their eyes, but the weakness
of their sex in their vertebr'e, and they
bend their knees and bow their heads,
and the ravishing element breaks over
them with wet embrace, hugs them
moment in foaming paroxysm, aad then
goes broken and bellowing to fling itself
in reckless delight upon the sands where
their feet have trod.

NOBLE D0OTRIKE.

Max Adder thus expresses his opin-
ion on the subject of intemperance. We
Gull from the columns of paper called
the Crusader the following REMARKS:
First cigar, then tobacco, then rum,
then lies, then theft, then murder, then
arrest, conviction, prison, the gallows.
Down with secret societies, firearms
and drugs. Down with tobacco and
alcohol. Down with titles and infanti-
eide. Down with chignons, padding
and false ideas. Down with all kinds
of fraud and up with all kinds Of truth,
will be the plan of the Man in the fu-
ture, Mustard plasters are hencefofth
abolished in the new light of Truth"
This is our doctrine. We endorse ev-
cry word OF it; but it seems the CRUSADER
dosn't 60 far enough.
Not only mustard p1asters will be-
abolished by the clear light of Truth
but so will mud-pies. and watermelons,
and wigs. And how about martingales
and undershirts !? Can they resist the
clear light of Truth? Can the insid-
ious sour ball and the pernicious boot.
jack withstand it's translucent beams? q?
I trow not! These things must go
down, and with them all the instru-
ments of evil with which modern socie-
ty is cursed. Not more surely do cigars
lead to the gallows than albata teapots
to pauperism. While mock-turtle soup
holds it's own how is it possible that de-
ceit should be torn from the human
bosom? Down with it! Down with
suicide and lobster salid! Down with
false systems of philosophy and tooth
picks! Away with syllabub and SUPER
stition, and yellow parasols! Pluck up,
the soul of destroying tomcats by the
roots! Tread the inconoclastic theories
of Strauss under foot! Sweep away the
Satanic door-mat with the bosom of a
notions wrath! Let us have no more
debauched public conscience, no more
grasping avariee, no more hideous mock
cry of human woe, no more groceries,
and marketing, and rhubafb pie! Rhul:
barb pie is henceforth abolished in the
clear light of Truth. So is humble
peg.
This is about my position at the pfesa
ent moment. Every man will know
where to find me. These are opinions
for which I am ready to go to the stake.
I know I am radical, perhaps too much
80, but no crusading editor shall ever
stand further on in the path to progress
than I stand. I will exterminate him
first.

BEECHER AS LADY's MAN.-From a
New York letter of June 25th to the
Chicago Times we extract the follow
ing:
AS might be inferred, Henry Ward
Beecher is the most flattered, petted and
lauded of all our preachers. Many of
the women of his congregation believe,
as they do in their own existence, that
there never has been any man like him.
If Luther, Bossuett, Savonarols, Bour-
dalone, Hooker, Jeremy Taylor, and
Tilton were all rolled into one, they
would infinitely prefer Beecher to the
grand combination. The pastor of
Plymouth Church is so distinctly hu-
man, so broad, so breezy, so sympa-
thetic, that his influence, considering
the peculiarly of the sex, is not to be
wondered at. His opinion is to them
as a revelation, his teachings they fol-
low without questioning. His position
is one of deep responsibility. and not a
little peril. 1t is hard no doubt for
any man of his constitution to steer
clear of the thousand dangers that in
evitably beset his path. No marvel he
is slandered by the mere worldly-mind-
ed, for they can scarcely conceive how
he, with opportunities SO magnifcently
superabundant for wrong-doing, can
always cleave to the right. If he have
any disposition to wander from the
ways of rectitude, he could wander
over as soft turf and as fragrant beds
of flowers as any mortal who has ever
expounded the gospel or exhorted to
Christianity. Women seek him for
counsel, guidance, consolation, at all
hours, and he may regard himself as a
paraclete of the most popular pattern.

gled into my mind. As I staggered to
my feet a noise like the roaring of the
sea was in my ears. The flames of the
candle turned to great yellow blue.
| barely re aimed strength enough to
stagger to the window and fling it open.
The fresh, cold winter air rushed in at
it. 1t gave me intense pain, but it re-
lieved me. In moment more I was
able to Chamber out of it upon the shed
below.
There remained until the day dawn.
With my returning senses the truth
came to me. That which had mur-
dered the three men who slept before
me in the blue chamber was nothing
more or less than the coal stove.
1t was provided with what is called
damper, and this in being caught in a
manner which closed it sent the poison
GUS gas into the room. It had been
kindled as wood fire would have been
at the hour of retiring, by one ignorant
of the danger possible from coal gas,
and they had slept never to awaken.
Had I thrown myself upon the bed. I
also should have been found dead at
daylight, in oil human probability.
AS for the fact that neither doctor
nor coroner discovered the truth, I have
but to say that they were not deeply
scientific men-that coal stoves were
scarcely used in the place, and that it
had not been mentioned that the blue
chamber was thus heated.
Of course I rejoiced the household by
my discovery next morning, and equal
ly, of course, Madame Matteau, who
was not only freed from suspicion, but
became the object of universal SYM
pathy. She was always grateful to me,
and she proved her gratitude by giving
what I soon asked for, the hand of her
daughter Gabrielle in marriage.
