THE LOST SHEEP.

There We're ninety and ninc that safely lag
In the shelter Of tn fold;
And one WAS ont on the hills away,
Fay OF from tn: gIi"- al gold:
Away an the mountains wild and bare.
Away from the tender Shepherds care.
Lord, Thou hast here the ninety and nine
Are they not enough for Thee
But the Shepherd made answer, "Thi. OF Mine
liza, wandered away from me:
And, although the roads NE rough and steep,
! so 10 the desert Ia find My sheep"
But none of the ransomeJ ever knew
How deep werr the walers crossed;
Nor how dark the night the Lord passed thro'
Ere lie found lti- sheep that WAS lost.
Uut in the desert He heard its cry,
sick, and helpless, and ready 10 die.
Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way
Inst m ark out tn. mountains track -
They We're shed for one who had gone a.ifay
Ere the shepherd could bring him back
Lord, whtnce arc Thy hands =" rent and torn?'
They We're pirrc,'t tu-night 10y many II thorn. -
And all TIN ouEh the mountains thuu,ler rieeu,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose Il cry to the ratc> OF heaven
''!tfinice, 1 have found my sheep"
And The angels cchnri around the throne,
"ltcjcicc, Tor the Lord brings backItis own.,'

The Poor-The Cases of Destitu-
ton around the City.

Every day the Mayor is bcsieged with
applications for relief. Families are sick
starving, freezing. Men who have earn-
ed good livingS heretofore are without
employment, and their wives and chill
dren are without food or clothing.
Yesterday notice was given Of 4 wo-
man and five children. on lower Fourth
street. who are without TODD, clothing,
or fuel. and must inevitably perish unless
assistance is rendered. On Bartlette
street. between Fifth and Sixth, is Il man
who has been confined to his bed FIVE
weeks. with scarcely a particle of cloth
Eng to cover him. In the some house
arc his wife. his widowed daughter, and
4 young baby and all OF them have not
enough to keep life in IL stout man forty
eight hours. Up OF Louis street is an
other case Of terrible destitution, to
which attention was being directed last
evening. These are but L few among
scores existing in the city
The Mayor has but little money at his
disposal to be used for charitable pur-
poses. and he must manage that little
as economically as possible. We know
that he feels as deeply as any MAJ could
for these unfortunate people, and would
relieve all if it was in his power. 1t is
not pleasant for 4 public man t o have
his doors beSeiged daily by women aud
children crying for bread, and it is far
less 50 when one is almost powerlesS.
The means of relief must come from
the citizens. They must contribute, and
literally nj that, or leng before the
lde> of March have passed, we shall
lleir of cases of death caused bv Starva-
ton and freezing, that will forever cast
:. blot upon the fair fame of st. Joseph,
and cause humanity to blush for itself

Accidental Shooting,

Monday morning, Feb. 8, VIM. Ban
mister, a young man of Il, who lives
with Jacob Musier. Z miles above Forest
City, accidently shot himself in the
right shoulder, while standing on the
sleigh on which fodder had been loaded.
with Il shot gun which he had taken out
with him for the purpose OF shooting
game. He had shot Il prairie chicken,
and was preparing to shoot another, and
while he was standing on the sled with
John Mosier, and Just rs he had cooked
his gun, the IKE started with the sled.
B~annister's foot slipped, and the gun,
winch was brought almost in contact
with his person, went off, and the en-.
tire charge entered the right shoulder.
carrying away the muscles of the arm
and completely fracturing the upper
portion of the humcriS, or arm bone (;
but the main arteries and the shoulder
bone that has the socket on it not having
been injured, it is supposed the arm
will o need to be amputated.
DIR. Twyman, of Forest City, was
called, who called to his assistance Dir.
Saville of Oregon, and DR.. Tracy of
Mound City, to dress the wound. The
Young man now lies at Mrs. Mosier's,
under the care OF DR.. Twyman. and is
doing as well rs can be expected.

Wisconsin wished to show their chris
tian spirit under persecution, and they
probably based their action on the
tortieth verse, fifth chapter of Matthew:
''And if any MAJ will sue thee in the
law aud take thy coat, let him have thv
cloak also" The 'Grangers' in your
State now have our coat, and, with A
christian spirit. we voluntarily offer the
clergymen u cloak. We do not, how.
ever, ebligc them to wear it., but as
cloaks. like umbrellas, fit most ANYBODY,
we do not expect to have many OF these
permits returned.

OF course, no accurate estimate of
population can be based upon these
data, but they serve to Indicate very
forcihly that the growth of the city has
been much more rapid since the census
was taken than it had been during the
corresponding period preceding. With
a progress only us rapid as that ascer-
tanned by comparison Of the census of
1866 with that of 1870, the city should
now have over 460, 900 inhabitants, and
since it has been I'VE greater, it seems
not unreasonable to suppose that the
population Of the city already exceeds
half a million. democrat, "a.

~Clergymen's Passes.

The Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way Company has recently issued hall
fare tickets to clergymen along its line.
Most of them received them us Il matter
of course, and some returned thanks for
them. One reverend gentleman. how
ever, wrote an indignant letter to the
company, asking why they should
change their rule. In his opinion, all
men should be treated alike, ETC.; but
he kept and used the pass. OF course,
the managers of the road felt severely
rebuked, and the general ticket agent
was commissioned to apologize to the
offended shepherd, which he did as fol-
lows;

A. T. Stewart Setting an Example
to Fast Young Hen.

MIR. a. 1. Stewart, SAYS an editorial
paragraph in The Brooklyn Argus, sets
an example to the fast young men of
the country. which they will do well to
copy. Mr.. Stewart is at his place of
business ut about 8 O'Clock every morn
ing. He rides in an omnibus when it
suits his convenience. lie goes to par
ties at an early hour. and leaves ut Il
reasonable time. Yesterday we saw
n of the wagons in which his goods
are delivered-covered with canvas
drawn over hoops, his name painted on
the box, and the vehicle filled with par
cels-passing from Broadway into Wall
street. On the seat with the driver Sat
the merchant prince, as careless of the
remarks OF others as a sensible man
ought always to be. Mr.. Stewart got
out III front of Drexel's banking house,
without the consciousness that he had
done anything remarkable or unusual.
About the same time, some bln0ds
alighted tom IL fine liyeried establish
ment. We happened to know the latter
gentlemen rs well as the former. One
WAS Il young merchant who does not
possess $4,000, and owes five times
that amount. His credit is marked I'D"
i'll commercial reports. The other was
a gentleman whose father failed in Wall
street two years ago, his creditors losing
by the failure 800. 900, but the wife had
settled upon her Il handsome estate
The carriage andhorses, of course, right
fully belonged t the creditors. But
they, the upstairs inside. the flunky on
the box. and the cigars from which
smoke was then ascending. were shame
leSsly Haunting and parading the streets
while men like Mr.. Stewart were riding
in Il baggage wagon or wadlng the slush
on foot.

ANOTHER CRISIS,

ANOTHER CRISIS.
Paris, February l3.-The Gaulois as
scrts that on the close of yesterdays
sitting of the Assembly the ministers in
sisted upon resigning, and that presi-
dent McMahon accepted their resigna-
ton. The Gaulois also says the Presi-
dent has summoned the Duke De BrOg-
lie to form a new cabinet in conjunction
with Defaurton.
rNEASINESS.
London. February ia special from
Paris says that the greatest uneasiness
prevails in that city in consequence of
the grave political situation. The
Chamber cannot make 4 constitution,
and will not dissolve. President Nc
Mahon would have resigned if the Sen
ate bill had been passed as amended
The Bonapar'i>ts gain greatly by these
complications. The Republicans will
make no further concessions.

1874.

In the third year of its existence, the st. Louis
Globe can truthiully boast of a circulation, for
its different issues, such Us few of its cctempo-
raries in the West possess.
1t may be said of the Globe that no newspaper
was ever 50 cordially received by the people for
whom it was intended. 1t was established as u
representative Republican journal and the MEM
bcrs of the Republican party in the West gave it
cordial welcome from the first. For this We are
thankful. and we shall always endeavOr TO re-
pay the favor in the best possible manner, which
is by proving that we deserve it.
While the Globe will always be in the front to
sustain the Republican party and measures, it
will reserve the right, AS it is its duty, or the
duty of any newspaper, to oppose any measure
not IN unis-n with Republican principles, al
though il may cmanate from men acknowledge
ing all allegiance to tho Republican party.
