New-York tribune., 1875-10-04

The letter from Mr.. John Jay, published on
another page, urges further reasons for making
the Centennial celebration at Philadelphia
national affair. He regards the country as in
some sense in honor bound by its earlier rep
resentatiOns abroad to give to the exhibition
the Governments full support. Yet simply
from a money point of view it would be mis-
take to leave the undertaking in an anomalous
position where failure is possible. Even if the
outlay exceeds the receipts, as was the case at
Vienna, the ultimate results of great exhibit
tion, full in all its departments and worthy of
the nation, must roll up profit by the devel-
Opment of industry in succeeding years.
New-York tribune., 1875-10-04

The Democratic candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania makes a much more satisfactory
defense of his loyalty than of his position on
the currency question. His conversation with
our correspondent, which is published here
with, shows that while all at sea on the finan-
cial issues of the day, he is disposed to put
into almost any port that is covered by the
Democratic flag. In electing Judge Pershing
Governor Pennsylvania would lose faithful
man from the bench, and it will be hard to
find in his transfer to the Executive chair any
adequate compensation for the loss. This is
no time for putting men of uncertain views
on the currency question into places of trust
and prominence.

Letter From Missouri,

MISSISSIPPI Co, Mo, Sept. l, 1875
ED. SPIRIT: drop you a few lines
to let you know what this neck of the
woods is like. Mississippi County lies
in Southeast Missouri, in about latitude
81 and is bounded by the Mississippi
for about forty miles. The surface con-
sists mostly of river bottom and upland,
the upland being about ten or fifteen feet
higher than the bottom. The soil in the
bottom is very rich, and produces i'm
mense crops of corn annually, when not
spoiled by water. The uplands are also
very productive, but do not stand plow
ing as long as the bottom.
z Eorn is king here,as in nearly all parts
Of the west; still there was a large acre
age of wheat sown last fall and harvest
ed in good condition, but the heavy rains
in July rotted from onethird to one-half
Of it in the field, and drowned out good
deal of the corn with rain water. Then
the Mississippi became very high and
overfowed the low bottom Land and ru-
ined more OF the crops planted in them ;
still there will be about two thirds of a
full crop of corn in the county. .
OF cotton there will be about an ave-
rage crop; yet the great staple is not
very extensively cultivated, the seasons
not being long enough to make a full
crop. The sumner has been cold and
wet, but at present it is dry and warm,
and excellent weather for the preparation
of land for wheat, of which there will
be large acreage sown. Potatoes are
very plentiful here this year and worth
from twenty five to forty cents per bush
ell Chills and fever are bad here at pres
snt. NICHOLAS Roth.

The new cattle distemper in England
is called "the foot and mouth disease !"
The same thing has prevailed in this
country among statesmen for years past
Its principal feature, and that which
gives it its name, is that the victim can't
open his mouth without putting his foot
into it.
A youngster being required to write a
composition upon some portion of the
human body selected that which unites
tue hea, to the body, and expounded as
follows: "A throat is convenient to
have, especially to roosters and minis
ters The former eats corn and crows
with it; the latter breaches through
bis'n, and then ties it up. This is pref
ty much all l can think of about necks.

one idea rudely jostled out of bis head
Everywhere, indoors and out Of doors,
gentlemen escorting ladies are putting
cigars. No place that l have seen is
free from this practice except the dinner
table.
IN THE SALOONS
A party of fine ladies and their escorts
may be seen imbibing their cobblers
through straw, while at an adjoining
table, other parties of the ruder sex are
swigging lager, smoking and indulging
in boisterous laughter and coarse con
versation.
THE BATHING HOUSES
Are not much patronized, which / set
down asone ssedit mark to the visitors
here. Twill not undertake to describe
the bathing costumes OF the ladies'; no
doubt they are just what fashion pre-
scrhes but l think l can safely say that
no sensible man ever saw, without un-
comfortable feelings, his wife, sister OF
daughter in bathing dress, and in the
presence of mixed company.
THERE ARE NO "LloNs'
Here at this time. A great many have
been here, and great many more are
coming-so the landlord says. Those
distinguished looking persons who a
first sight | took to be lords and dukes,
| find on inquiry to be very plain citi
zens, for whom their tailor has done more
than their Maker.
l distinctly recollect one who was GOV
erred all over the breast with glittering
decorations. This one supposed to bt
a prince, and doubtless great captain
The decorations, concluded, had been
placed there by the royal hand of King
William or Prince Bismarck, and l was
wondering whether he had won them at
Sadowa or Sedan, whenI was, informed
that he was the proprietor of a one horse
lager-beer cellar in Saudusky, and that
what had supposed to be the Crane
Cross of the Legion of Honor, was the
pinchbeck insignia of some secret asso
citation. This discovery let the whole
population down.at least fifty per cent ii
my estimation.
THE PEOPLE.
l have now found out what anybody
else would have known in the first plac.
that the people here are just what they
are elsewhere-good, bad and Indifferent
with the bad and Indifferent in the ma
jority.
MY CoNCLUsIoN
Of the whole matter is that it would pa,
a party from our region to come here
say next August, to spend week o
two. The party should be large enougl
to constitute circle Of society of them
selves; for most of the visitors here ar
picnic parties. Two or three comins
would find it dull after the novelty hat
worn off, but twenty could have a de
lightful time. Tue mail is leaving.

Our glasses fash'd bright, as they trembled in

Oh, light was the song,
And the tempter was strong,
For the rough road of life was so dark, and so
long!
And the flush of the wiue,i its ruby-red CLEAN
seem'd as bright,and as pure, as the suns gold

And I thought how rich its brilliant sparkle
of light,
Would roll back the clouds from my wearisome
night
When a mystic-like haze
Enveloped its blaze,
And recalled sad scene to my shuddering
gaze.

From bastard, demon, a victim of drink
An oath and blow,
And the brute laid her low,
And his fiery eyes fash'd with maniac g1owl
And I saw a dark mass in the green Shiny wave,
The drunkard's foul corse in suicides grave.
And Ger the rude scoH, the low Jest, and coarse
jeer,
A mothers last charge to her son could hear:
"Oh, never, my boy,
Taste, handle, or toy
With that curse of mankind, that allures to

All the blood in my veins for moment stood

Then rushd with full force to my daring and

And felt with gasp,
The icy-cold clasp
OF Satan unloose, and l slipped through his

With smile full of scorn on the tempter's

My glass was raised high, and then-dash'd to

Firmly passed into sunshine and air,
And the wind in wild glee;
Swept forest and sea,
Like the pride of my manhood, unJettered anc

SEPTEMBER o, 1919.
ED. SPIRIT Learning that the Locust
Grove U. B. and Stuart's Chapel NJ E.
Sunday Schools were going to have a
picnic, on the 4th inst, in the grove on
Witten's hill, Jackson township,we made
our way to that place that we might en-.
JOY the occasion. AS we ascended the
hill we could not avoid noticing the land,
scape. The village of Sistersville anf.
much of Tyler County, West Va, could
be seen; the Ohio in all its glory spark
led in the sun as it moved on in full
view; the waving corn, and quiet herds
grazing in the valley, lent enchantment
to the scene. But we had not time to
dwell much upon the natural scenery,
though nature did her best to detain US.
The sound Of the drum and bugle caus.
ed US to push our steed from tho hill
side to the top, where, added to the in.
creased natural scenery, were the lovely
faces of children, ,tastefully arrayed forms
of young ladies, and sunny smiles of
sweet-tempered matrons. Sturdy far
mers were also present, bent upon hav-
ing an enjoyable day in the Sunday
School picnic.
In the back part of the grove was a
long table, with its weight of pies, cakes,
chickens, DC, Rev. McAthey delivered
a sensible and well aimed address upon
the benefits Of the Sunday School. AT
the close of the address the children
were marched to the table and were
waited on by generous committee =
There were after wards three or four ia
bles Of adults; and some one counting
the number at each table, reported be-
tween eight aud nine hundred persons
present.
After diuner short talk on the duty o
the people, was given by Rev. Starkey
after which the Marshals formed tn,
company into line and had a grant
march. The Sistersville Cornet Bant
gave US some of their richest music, an(
several ladies and gentlemen, collected
together by Mr.. S. Keigley, gave us SOM
good singing. The party separated
feeling that the occasion was one o
much enjoyment. ROVER.

MISSED THEIR GAaE.--How some railroad
gamblers came to grief is told by the Nir-

These men, it says, are usually eXcellent
Judges of character, and are seldom mistaken
in their man. Sometimes, however, their
judgment is at fault, and the apparent ny
they entice into their parors proves to be q
tarantula. The other day at Battle, Noun
tain they allured a German from the East,
who exhibited large roll of greenbacks
on the platform, into the spiders nest.
The "drunken man" was on a big spree
when the expected victim entered, and was
losing money on every bet. The German
declined to bet, aud to get him in the notion
one of the cappers gave him $50 piece on
which to try bis luck. He placed it on a
card and won. Pocketing the $40 be refused
TO bet again, and walked out Of the house
followed by the cappers, who insisted on
getting the money back. The German drew
a large sized revolver from his pocket, and
assuming a defiant attitude, said: "1ou
speak to me put you SO full of holes you
don't know what you am. l am old Califor.
nian, and know all about your tricks. You
