MINERALS OF THE WEsT.-The St
Louis Mining Exchange has fine
collection'of minerals, which the Re
publican thus describes: "There are
eighteen or twenty large glass cases,
filled with thousands of mineral speci-
mems, elegantly put up, to represent
the wealth of the West. The ar
rangement and classification are so
made that the railroad lines along
which the ores occur are represented,
aifording those interested, or capital
seeking investment, an opportunity
to determine the transportation to the
mines of the world. From every
mineral locality Of the west there are
representatives of the various mines,
and metals from the different furna-
ccs. There are also large variety
of shells, fossils, and marine speci-
mems, beautiful corals, Indian dresses
and war implements; rare coins, with
curiosities and antiquities from all
parts of the world. There are some
fifteen railroads represented in the
mining exchange. Minerals from the
lines of these roads and the counties
adjoining are mounted upon blocks
with bevelled edges, upon which the
label is attached. There are collec-
tions of iron ore from every region
where the ore is found, in Missouri.
Texas, Colorado, Alabama, Georgia,
Tennessee, Wyoming, Utah, and ev.
cry locality in the western half of
America. There are to be seen large
collections of paints, clays, ochers and
kaolins from South Missouri, and a
large collection of beautiful paints
from Cape La Croix Paint Works, of
Cape Girardeau county. There are a
great variety of crystals Of most beau
tiful forms.

tion of one million postage stamps in
two years. Inspired by the absurdity
Of the enterprise, and the impossible

LETTER FROM I" THRM1s."

T.
Editor Morning Star and Catholic Messenger.
There was considerable excitement here las
week on account of the trial of the "sumtel
county prisoners" charged with the killing Q,
one Billings, carpet Dagger. Strange to tell
this charge of murder was tried before the
United States Commissioner, it being claimed
that the act was perpetrated to intimidate and
prevent the said Billings from exercising the
inalienable, inevitable, and inscrutable right
of suffrage. If such was the intention of the
murderers, they have very effectually accom-
plished their purpose, for it is very sure that
the said Billings will vote no more forever.
The facts of the case are, that the murdered
man had boosted, at public meeting, that he
had $4,000 in his pocket for the purpose of
carrying the coanty in the coming election.
Whilst there message was brought to him by
negro man that his wife was sick and wished
to see him. He set ont for home and
was murdered on the way. On the affidavit
Of negro man named Wright, Messrs.
Renfro and Bullock, the prisoners, are arrested,
hand-cufed, and dragged through the State,
amidst the jeers and insults Of negro mobs to
this city for trial. They clearly prove an abb
by competent white and colored witnesses, but
are committed, without bail, on the evidence
have been drilled for the purpose. But the
end is not yet. The negro, upon whose afiida-
Wits the arrests were made, is publicly charged
with the crime, and some..of the circumstances
of the case give color to the accusation. 1t is
hoped that there will be an intelligent effort
made to aft the case.
Whilst this trial was going on before Com
missioner Gillette, he was candidate for Pro-
m mr. haf fha
ton then in session. He failed to get the
nomination, and now threatens to break up the
Republican party. I devoutly hope that he
may succeed. The odor- ferrous convention was |
the source of much amusement to the people |
for three days. 1t was good as q play, and |
never failed to draw full houses. The "mon-
key shines" of the initiative delegates were
truly laughable. But the convention also had |
Its serious side, suggestive of grave reflection.
More than tvo-thirds of the delegates were
ignorant negroes WHO held their votes ont to
the highest bidder, and were so firmly en-
braced by their ruling passion" that they
could not resist the temptation to vote early
and often. Hardly ballot was taken that did
not exceed the number Of delegates. And these
ignorant dupes are to be made our lords and
masters, and white men can be found mean
enough to help the villainous work!
Right Rev. A. d. Pellicer, Bishop of San An
tonic, is now here. He is looking very we'll.
I learn that he leaves to-day for short trip to
your city. Father Ryan, believe, is expected
TO return next week.
The weather has been very cool for few
days. Winter clothing and fires have been
found not uncomfortable. We are sadly in
need of rain, the city being constantly envel-
oped in q cloud of dust. THRMIs,
