A woman's Wiclkedness.

A man named Stephen Harris, from Paynes-
vile, passed through town the other day with
his son, who had just finished course at the
insane asylum of st. Peter. Theyoung man,
who is now in possession of his reason, had
been rendered insane through the cunning
art of a certain woman. She having con-
ceived a passion for the young man tried
every means in womans line to awaken
similar passion in him; when she found that
nothing of that kind would bring about the
desired result, she resorted to drugs. She
drugged him with certain tincture until he
not only lost his senses, but came within a
hair breadth of losing his life.

Died of Too Much ChlOrOfOrnl.

A man by the name of Howard, a resident
of Maryville, Missouri, suddenly died while
under the influence of chloroform, at the
academy of medicine Of DIR. Galen E. Bishop,
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Howard had come
to st. Joseph to secure treatment for his eyes,
and placed himself under DR.. Bishops care.
He had been here for some time. In order to
perform an operation yesterday, just after
dinner, he was placed under the influence Of
chloroiorm, and died before coming out of it.
We understand that otherwise than respect
ing his eyes he was in health, which, if coz
rect, makes his death somewhat Of an enig-
ma. His body was placed in a coffin imme-
diaiely after life was extinct, and sent to
MarYYille on the evening train.

KELLOGG'S BOARD.
How They CouId Not. After All, Count
Out All the Tildel Electors
Where the Responsibility
Really Lies for the
Boards Return.
New Orleans Democrat. /

The returning board has been roundly
abused for stealing the electoral vote Of
louisiana The astonishing fact is now dis
closed that the returning board did not, could
not, with all its audacity, its bitter animus,
count out enough votas to defeat the Tilden
electors. Sixty-nine polls were objected to
and counted out by the board, many on the
himsiest preiexts. Against these, and these
alone, was there a word of evidence? The
other polls were above suspicion. The polls
counted out, so the official documents Of the
returning board declare, contained 10,269
Democratic and 1868 Republican votes. The
full returns from all the polls and parishes in
the State show s., ,859 votes for R. c. Wick
life, the highest Tilden elector, and 77,l74
votes for w. p Kellogg, the highest Hayes
elector. Deducting from this the votes
thrown out by the returning board, and those
counted in by a clerical error in Vernon, the
vote for electors returning board count
should be

judgm and learning are equally well

mendous kick. At once confounded, and IN
terrible rage, he turned to knock down his
assailant, and met the latter's hasty and very
humble apology. He had slipped, and his
foot had flown up without his will Or lnten-

had to pocket his Indignation and pocket the
excuse, but he was fearfully mad tor ten min

Northern Democrats and the south.

The Richmond Dispatch urges that there
should be no want of sympathy between
southern sszl northern Democrats. 1t re-
minds = leaders that, save very few,
northern Democrats did not approve the doc
trine Of secession, and that Virginia repudi-
ated it by a large majority, and only entered
the Confederate war upon a point Of honor,
and under the obligation forced upon her to
side either with the south, with which she
was identified in custom, interest and senti-
ment, or with the north, with which, al
though she was in peaceful relations, she had
not that identity in interest, custom and feel
ing that she had with the south. Upon prin-
ciple she would never have fought for seces-
sion. Hence the Dispatch holds that it is
madness to claim that northern Democrats
should have fought in the late civil war on
the southern side, and gone ints bloodshed
with their own neighbors. Since the war
they have been prominent in resisting gross
violations of the constitution, in showing
fidelity to right and justice, and in exhibiting
sympathy to the south in her wrongs and
sufferings. Nobody has any right, says the
Dispatch, to impugn the independence and
pluck of the northern Democratic party, and
the south should regard it with admiration
and gratitude as friend IN distress and de-
fender in fields where the south could not be
heard In its own behalf. This is no doubt
the general sentiment of the southern people
