of tho launch Of the. mammoth ship

A Ten Year Old Bov Eaten by Hogs.

A most heart.rending calamity occurred
at Braman station, six miles from Sedalia,
Mo-. Friday, the 5th. Hon. L. Mathews,
who represented Cooper county several
years In the lower house Of the Legis-
lature. and who now resides near Braman,
better known as Martin Station, and a
Mr.. Haynes, also resident at Braman,
recently penned some hogs that had been
running in the woods until they had be.
come almost wild. While Mrs. Haynes
was out milking her COWS, last Friday
evening, and while Mr.. Haynes was some
distance away, their little son, about ten
years old, climbed into the pen, where six
of the wild hogs were. AS soon as his
feet touched the ground the brutes seized
him. The shrieks of the poor child soon
reached the ears of his father and moth.
er, who were near enough to witness the
awful sight. The frantic mother first
reached the pen, but not in time to save
the boy. Here was an arm and there a
leg, aud the poor child was dead. What
followed can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Mr.. Haynes and his stricken
wife have the sympathy of the entire
community.

CoIoRED stockings are not altogether
desirable. A little girl in Chicago was
poisoned by the soal-brown coloring OF a
pair of new stockings she wore for three
days. The same pair of stockings in the
wash stained an undershirt which the
father Of the girl afterwards put on, and
the coloring at second hand poisoned the.
fathers skin. Prof. Mariner, chemist,
to whom the Tribune submitted the
stockings for analysis, thought the poison
came from the use Of arsenic in preparing
the coloring dye. Arsenic. he says, is
generally used largely in the brighter
colors Of aniline dyes, and lately by un-
principled men in the darker dyes, the
arsenic being used because it is cheaper
than other harmless drugs which might
be used. All the bright colors, he says,
are poisonous, and some of the dark COL
ors. The cases of poisoning by stockings
above mentioned arc only two instances.
Several others are noted by the Tribune
reporter. After all, clean white stock.
ings look best-so the street-corner OBJ
servers say.

The Ward will Case.

The jury in the Ward will case, in
progress in Detroit, Mich, for the past
nine weeks. were discharged on the after
noon of the 10Th being unable to agree.
They were said to stand eight in favor of
breaking the will while four believed that
the will and first codicil should be main
tanned. The second codicil which allows
the children Of Capt. Wards first wife
an allowance of 5000 per month, while the
principal of their property is left perma-
nently in the hands of trustees, was re-
jected by all as having been unduly exc
cuted. All agreed, except Galloway, that
Captain Ward was competent to make a
will. This leaves the case where it was
two months ago untilapothcr trial can be
mad, and verdict for the will must be
obtained before the property can be dis
tributed. 1t is understood that strong
efforts will be made to compromise the
matter, but this is thought,t to be doubt
full on account Of the hard state of feel
ing on both sides.
The Ward estate is valued at $4,000.
600. with 100000 of debts. The will
leaves about ST. 100000 to his young
widow and her two infant children, free
from all incumbrance. It leaves minor
requests to tie value of about 100000
to different relatives and employees, and
the remainder of the estate, after pay.
ment Of debts, is placed in the hands of
four trustees for the benefit of his five
adult children by his first and divorced

The ocean is furnishing these days an
unusual proportion of the tragic ele-
ments to current history. There was
first, only a few days ago, the sinking Of
the steamer Pacific by night collision
with sailing vessel off the northern coast
of Washington Territory; the crew and
passengers, about three hundred souls,
perishing in the waves, all but two, and
the unknown vessel drifting away, dis
abled, and no more heard from. Then
comes that terrible burning Of the steam
er City Of Waco, at night, off Galveston
harbor; the hope that her crew and pas
sengers had escaped into the small boats
and been swept past the thirteen vessels
anchored near the Waco down the west
ern coast, and the terrible conclusion
that every soul on board must have per.
1shed in the quick flames. And to-day
comes two more sea tragedies in the
narrative of the sole survivor of the
Scotch bark Toronto, and the message in
the sealed bottle from the English ship
Luna. The story of the negro seaman,

his comrades and the bottles 6rief tale

be President. 4 correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial told him the
other day that the papers called him a
candidate for the Presidency. "Who
isn't,' he replied, and then added laugh
ingly: Il know it is the bithright of
every American to be president. Every
mother expects her son to be President,
and nearly every boy in the country
talks that way, but it is an aspiration
which is generally knocked out of him by
the first hard contact with the world.

ification Of the white people ct the result.
This jollification exceeds the descriptive
power Of language. One white man,
meeting IN acquaintance, grasps his hand
and says about this: GLORY! don't We
feel good. though! Now no more riots
and fighting thank God, We will have
peace. Business will revive; confidence
is restored. 1feel now that my property
is worth something
All have something to say about the ad-
vance in the price of property. Every
man thinks he is worth at least twenty.
five per cent more than before the cleo.
ton. So many said to me last week:
eWhy. if the Radicals carry this election
l can't sell my plantation for dollar and
half an acre. -: Now they won't sell. E
The liberality with which, the property
holders have come down with the cash to
aid In carrying this election4exceedsa any.
thing l ever knew in State campaign.
Every man seemed to take the personal
interest in it that he would if it was his
private affair. One man in this CITY
planked down check for $4,000 to begin
with, and nearly doubled the amount be-.
fore the close of the polls. Yet he is no
politician, never run for an Office, and
cares little for politics in the general way.
But he is a large property holder;
caxation was eating up his profits, and
thange became positive necessity.
In six years, in Mississippi, taxation has
increased 500 per cent. and property has
deprecated 200 per cent, therefore the
rebellion of property, and the resolution
to carry the election at all hazards.
Thousand.dollar contributions from the
planters and taxpayers to accomplish
this result were frequent. One old man
in the southern part of the State sold his
cotton crop and RENTED check for
one'half the proceeds, to be used in the
"rescue'' of the State.
The aggregate county contributions
were very large, that is. contributions to
be expended in the counties The word
usually accompanying the gifts ran about
this way: ''Take this, use it as you
please, but carry the election" That
was the keynote: carry the election. If
votes had to be bought outrigh why,
buy them. The total amount given for
campaign expenses in this campaign would
aggregate an immense sum.
