"WOOD WANTED"


Discovery of Il Deep-laid and FrightfuI Plot
From the Sedalia Democrat
To show how low and degraded coun
try journalism has become, we will cite
this fact:
Thirty years ago all these newspaper
fiends went into cahoot, and started pa.
pers for the simple purpose of laying
up enormous amounts Of wood. Fol-
this purpose every country paper put
this notice at the head of its local
column
"WooD WANTED.-We will take
wood for subscription for this paper
Bring on your wood!
Yes, "bring on your wood" Mark
that
Now, what are these rascals doing ?
Why, they have been running news
papers for wood until they have got all
the wood in the country in their own
hands. And now wood is up-they've
made corner in it.
But, the reader will ask, "Where
is their market What good will it dc
them?
Poor ignorant soul Well tell you
After these country editors have got all
the wood In the country into Their
hands, what do they do Why, they
go to work, tooth and Toe nail, and adj
Uocate cren,ationt They know per
fectly well, just as soon as cremation be
comes part of American politics, e9et5
man will be trying it on his mother-in-
law and wife's relations. And wood will
go up to $1OOa cord Every one of these

to the late Duke of Brunswick, have
Just been sold at Geneva. The auction
lasted a week, ana the total amount re-
allied was 900. 900 francs, for gems OF
which the previously estimated value
was 768, 550 francs. On the third day
of the sale a marked decline set in,
which went on increasing until the sale
may be SAID to have actually died out
for want of bidders.
Several lots were withdrawn, because
the upset price was not offered for
them. Among the chief articles dis
posed Of were the toilet service in gilt
silver of the late Duke, secured by
Capt. Hargreaves for IL 900 francs a

The New TrOuhadOHr.

OF the latest popular tenor at the
London Opera the Pail Mall Gazette
remarks:
"Another remarkable performance
has been that of the new tenor, Signor
BoIis. as NdnFicO in II TrOvatore.
This promising young man is certainly
the tenor of the future. In the emf
nentlv robust parts, which are the
only ones he has yet undertaken, he is
quite without an equal and Signor
Bolis has probably only to appear in
fresh character to gain fresh triumphs.
The much represented, often derlded
'Trovatore has proved very service
able opera in its time nor is its time by
any means as yet ended. 1t is little
hacIneyed; but, like exceptional sing
ers with voices apparently Beyond the
reach of time, 1T stands hacking IN a
most remarkable manner. There Is,
| indeed, a great deal to be said for the
.Trovatore. If it is uinntelligible and
as far as it can be understood -unnat-

| On the other hand, it contains four
excellent parts and a great number OF
striking melodies, which, however IA
miliar, cannot be considered vulgar
Soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, are
all we'll provided for; and there Is
scarcely singer of reputation capab lie
of singing In the 'Trovatore who has
not sung in it. There was nothing

Seney as a Critic.

Seney, In his Fishers Hail speech,
devoted most Of his time to eulogiZiDg
Charles Foster. He said that Mr..
Foster deserved great credit for his
courageous attack upon Butler but
that be, Foster, lacked the courage
to expose Richardson. IfJudge Seney
had cared to be as honest as he pre-
tends ne would have read the report
OF the com mittee and the speeches OF
the members, aud then he would
have told the people that Mr.. Foster
went Just as far in his expose OF
Richardson as the evidence and the
law would warrant, and no just man
could do more. James G.. Beck, Of
Kentucky, was one Of the sub-com-
mittee to investigate into the SabOrn
frauds. He and Mr.. Foster worked
together tremendously throughout
the long and tiresOme investigation.
We happened to know that Mr.. Beck
approved every step that Mr. Foster
took and that he was more than
satisfied with Mr.. Fosters courage
and Independence. Mr.. Beck Is one
Of the Rblest lawyers in the House
and withal one Ofthe most courageous
and indep endent members. And
be Is the Democratic leader OF the
House. II George E. Seney were to
talk Of Charles Foster in the presence
OF James G.. Beck as he talked last
Saturday, the Scoteh Kentuekian
would skin the Tiffin lawyer alive.
Now another point for Mr.. Seney's
special consideration The Commit
tee ON ways aud Means, which had
charge Of the SanbOrn frauds is COM
posed Of twelve members OF when
James q. Beck, Fernando Wood and
VIM. f. Niblack are Democrats and
devoted 10 their party as Geo. E. Sc
ney can be. Every one Of these three
Democrats approved the report draws
by Mr.. Foster, and not one Of them
suggested change in the direction Of
greater severity. All Of them were
satisfied that Mr.. Fosters report went
as far as the evidence and the law
warranted. And now comes Geo. Z.
Seney, q country lawyer Of no legisla-
tive experience and no more practical
knowledge Of the management Of
public affairs than the boys in our
high school, and tells Us that Mr..
Foster did well but that he did not go
far enough in the exposure Of cOrrup-
tion. What . pity the newspapers Of
the country, the great dailies, Demo-
cratic as well as Republican, which
have been praising Charles Foster for
his manly courage In striking at the
highest officials and the ablest MEM
bers, did not first send down TO Tiffin
for the opinion Of Geo. f Seney.
How different the tone of their
praises had they first consulted Geo.

Il Won't Work.

Some Southern Democratic papers
are already counting their chickens
before they are hAtched. They al
ready see their party In pOwer-in
their minds eye, OF course. They are
proposing various schemes for their
own benefit when that happy time
comes. One Of these plans has at
least, in part, the merit Of novelty.
It il b renewal Of former plans to OBJ
tain payment for their slaves Un-
der this suggestion the General Gov
ernment through legislation will be
required to pay the South for the loss
Of her slaves at the rate Of $500 for
each grown man and woman. Then
they will divide this $500 in this way:
One-half to the former owner and
One-half to the freed man or woman.
This is the novel part OF the plan.
It is born Of the authors appreciation
Of the political power Of the eOlored
citizens, mingled with that mistaken
contempt they have always held,
which leads them to suppose that the
colored voter can be csjoled by 50
transparent . bribe into supporting
them

First Blood Of the Revolution.

A correspondent of the Hartford
Times at East Westminster, Vermont,
obtained some interesting historical
information from Mr.. Richmond,
sexton, whom he interviewed in the
cemetery. We quote bis letter:
Mr.. Richmond said that in '74-5,
the Wings and Tories were about
equally divided, the judges and juries
being appointed by the king. The
British authorities attempted 10 hold
q court in the Court House, then
standing about forty rods north of the
cemetery. y.-Fhe eolonists were bound
that no court should be held, so they
armed themselves and attacked and
drove the court from the Court House.
In return, the British soldiers attacked
the colonists, and man named Will
liam French fell dead from the fire Of
the soldiers, and Daniel Houghton
was fatally wounded. This was the
first bloodshed of the Revolution. In
1872 the State of Vermont appropriat-
ed 5000 for q monument, which now
stands about six feet from the place
where French was buried. A gentle
man by the name of William G. Brad
ley formerly Congressman from YER
mont few years ago erected a tomb
almost over the grave of French,
hence the reason of the monument
not standing over the grave. A small
slab stands within q foot of the front
side Of the tomb to tell the exact spot
Of the grave, and on 1t is the follow
ing inscription
"In memory Of William French,
Son Of Nathaniel French,
Who was shot at Westminster,
March ye 18th, lT75,
By the hands of Cruel Ministerial tools OF
George ye Sd,
In the Court House at IL O'Clock at night,
In the 22d year OF his age"
Below this are the following lines:
"Here William French his body lies,
For murder his Blood for Vengeance cries.
King George the third his Tory crew,
That with a ball his heart Shot threw,
For Liberty and his Country's Good,
He lost his Life his Dearest Blood"
tThe above Is an exact copy, capi-
tails and all. As q good many think
that the first blood flowed at the bat
tie Of Lexington, this may be inter-
esting to them, as il certainly was to
me. A building erected in 1770, five
years before the battle, is still stand-
ing. It was erected as a Congrega-
tionsl church, but is now used as q
town house, and is in good repair

THR FATTRD CALF.

Said Jack to Tom, one summer day,
"You're getting In baddish way,
Your breath is short, your breast is fiat;
You used to weigh a dozen stone,
And now you're only skin and bone,
Why, you're as lean as I am fat.
Come out with me, my farm is near
1 know you'll like our country cheer,
Ny fruit Is ripe, my eggs are new;
I've claret, too, your. r.fayorite brand;
Come out now, come; say Yes off-hand
I'll kill the fatted calf for you"
"That last remark of yours, dear JACK,
Though meant In kindness, holds m
back"
81 don't see why, though, Tom replied.
"The fatted calf-to take its life
Think OF your children and your wife,
And You committing suicide!"
