The crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1877-1878, 1877-09-20

iLlln lIc New ork Times.
The death of the cx-Prcsident of the
French Republic at the advanced AGE of
50 years suggests the thought that the
civilized nations of the earth are for the
most part governed or guided by old
men. On the 22d of March last the
Emperor of Germany completed his
ci9htieth year This mightiest of the
rulers of the world has known advcrsity
as great as his present prosperity is cx-
allied. A boy of 10 he fled with his
mother to escape the victorious armies
of Napoleon the Great. Forty years
latter he had to fly second time from
Berlin, and sought refuge in London
from the resentment of his countrymen.
Marshal MacMahon, Duke of Magenta,
and President of the French Republic,
is nearly 60. His life has been one of
steady progress, but he stands to-day
for the first time in his career in an I'M
certain position. Alexander II, Emper.
or and Autocrat of all the Russians, has
not yet lived three-score of years, but
his life has been /? most eventful one.
In 1861 he performed one of if not the
greatest act in history, namely, the
emancipation of 23,0O0,0 600 human beings
from the bondage of serfdom. The
Russian Prime Minister, Prince Gorts-
chakotl, is now in his 10Th year. Prince
Bismark, who was born on All Fools
Day is so. The Earl of Beaconslield
DisraelD is in his I'D year; the ex-
British Premier, Mr.. Gladstone, is IS,
while Count Andrassy, the Hungarian
statesman and leader of public opinion
in Austria, is no older than 81 years.
Admiral Constantine Canaris at 81 is
President of the Cabinet and the hope
of Greece. 1t is 55 years ago since he
avenged the devastation of Scico by
fastening tire-ship to the Turkish flag
ship and blowing her up with many
hundreds of men who were celebrating
the Ramadan. Victor Hugo is just
midway between the three-score and
ten and the four-score years of the
Psalmist. Earl Russell, the great Wing
leader, is S5; NJ. Grevy, who has been
chosen as Gambetta's lieutenant, is Ga;
Jules Simon is 63, and Lord Stratford
de Rodcliffe, better known as Sis STRAIT,
ford Canning, is no less than 80. Of
venerable politicians and statesman in
our own country it would be easy to
multiply names. Simon Cameron, the
great Republican leaderin Pennsylvania,
is rs; Alexander H. Stephens, repre-
sentative Southern Democrat, is 65;
Gen. John A. Dix, of This city, has now
turned 70; L. b. Washburne, of Illinois,
is 81, 'and Horatio Seymour is 81.
Secretary of State Evarts, who is both
lawyer and Statesman, is in his sixty
first wear.

An Old Style Dream,

From the Ottawa Free Press
A correspondent at Marathon, who
sends his name to establish authenticity
of the following communication, writes
to us letter containing this informa-
ton For some time past this village
had been the scene of great excitement,
consequent upon the singular contirma-
tlon of dream. 1t appears that Mr..
Thomas Turner, an influential citizen,
and president of the racing association
here, dreamed three nights in succession
that a pot of gold was secreted on Mr.
James Regan's farm near by, at the foot
of a large tree. On the third appear
ancc of the vision Mr.. Turner says he
felt confident of finding the treasure,
being believer in dreams three times
repeated. He therefore resolved upon
an instant search, and, rapidly donning
his wearing apparel, started for the
place indicated. To his intense sur
prise, he beheld IA bright red light how
ering over the spot where the treasurer
was supposed to be concealed, which
changed quickly to blue, then to green
in short, he ailrms that he saw every
conceivable shade of color distinctly
outlined in the air before him. Though
somewhat taken aback at the turn affairs
had assumed, he strobe briskly onward,
his heart beating alternately with hope
and fear. On his arrival the light re-
sumed its original color, seemingly more
elevated in the air than at first, and suf-
ficiently luminous to illuminate several
square yards in its vicinity. Strange as
this story undoubtedly is, the strangest
fact remains to be told Afteran hours
digging, his spade struck upon some
hard substance, which ere long proved
to be an iom box, about 16 inches long
and 8 inches respectively in breadth an
depth. Carefully concealing all traces
of his noctural adventure, he conveyed
the box to his home, and after three
hours hard work had the satisfac-
tion of seeing its contents. The latter
him more than he cared to ac-
knowledge, for hasty examination fail
ed to discover more than dozen gold
pieces of the reign of George Ill, worth
about $50, face value, though dealer in
old coin would probably give more for
them. There We're also several arrow
heads, unusually well preserved; large
and curiously carved pipe, of exquisite
Workmanship; two stone tomahawks;

The Collision ut Sea.

Further details received of the COLI
sion Of the ships Avalanche and Forest show
it took place at 9:15 Tuesday night, dozen
miles southwest Of Portland. The ships
were beating down the channel on short
tack. The Forest struck the Avalanche
amidship, rebounded and struck her twice
further aft causing her to founder in about
three minutes from the first striking. There
was no time to launch boats. The night
was so dark it was almost impossible to
discern the mass of human beings strug-
Cling in the water below, but survivors say
they shall never forget the scene. The sea
must have been literally alive with human
beings, to whose cries for help there could
not be any response. There was steady
drizzlc with occasional gusts OF rain. The
wind was strong and the sea very high.
Cries were heard by the crew of the Forest,
but they were unable to give any assistance.
The Forest was very leaky, the water gain
ed so fast that the crew had to abandon her,
and three boats were launched, and in these
the whole crew of the Forest, rs Captain
Rockhart supposed, with the three men be-
longing to the Avalanche, took their places.

There is so much interest in the re-

evidently marked out for her, and wisdom

land beach, says:
A sad story having an element OF ro'
nance was told me by native OF the
town the other day. OF course, no such
things as locks, bolts and bars are ever
heard OF in this part of the world; and
it seems that few years ago the good
housewife began to miss articles of food
from time to time, but no one could OBJ
tain clue to the thief. One moonlight
night, as certain villagcr stepped out
OF his front door for certain purpose,
he saw neighbor-one who had always
been respected as lady-emerging
from his cellar with n ham under her
arm. He seized her and accused her of
the many thefts. She confessed, and
begged for mercy; but he refused to
listen, saying:
No; innocent persons have been
blamed for your fault, In the morning
will denounce you before the whole
village"
She went away weeping. Early the
next morning II party of sailors describ-
cd woman they had seen standing on
the beach some distance from them.
She seemed to waver moment as til
wild surf broke at her feet; and then,
summoning all her strength, she walked
deliberately into the ocean, disappeared
beneath the waters, and was never heard
of more.

cars advertise to change anything up to
two dollar bill, but his only money
wasS5. He stepped into confectionery
store and inquired if he could have
small change for the bill, and being an
swered in the affirmative the confec-
toner proceeded to count out a 100
nickels, V. j. Williams, the County
Treasurer, was served even worse than
this; he sent down 800 in bills to the
street Car company's headquarters, to
see if they could let him have change,
and received in return 1000 nickels

A Ladies' Health Rcstorer.

From the WOmnn's Wordf.
Mrs. Sawin has taken up 800 acres Of
land in Kansas-untamed prairie. Last
fall she plowed ten acres and sowed it
with wheat. The hoppers have spared
her and she has just harvested n fine crop.
This spring she has broken up about
twenty acres more, and planted broom
corn and sorghum. Mrs. Sawin is not
a strong bodied woman ;on the contrary
when she commenced her plowing she
was so feeble that she had an easy chair
with pillow in it, at the end of her
furrough, and was obliged every second
row to stop and rest. She chose this
life because she had more fitness for it
than anything else that gave promise of
q future for two little sons whom she
desires to educate to usefulness. Her
health improves, and sheep raiser in
the neighborhood has engaged her to
plow ten acres of land for him and take
her pay in sheep.

The Ruling Passion I'm Sleep.
From the Virginia Chronicle.

From the Virginia Chronicle.
Last night the wife of Justice Moses
was aroused from sound sleep by a
stern voice: "Are you ready for trial,
l say?" Hush; don't make noise, or
else you'll wake the baby" she replied,
endeavoring to soothe him. "Don't
talk back to this court" he vociferated;
"if you've got any witness bring 'em on,
but let your lawyer do the talking"
"Why, Tom, how you take onl What's
the matter?" II send you up for six
days-that's what's the matter. Here,
Enders, take her away. Now I'm ready
for that petit larceny case-bring upthe
prisoner" and jumping out of bed he
started towards the next room to sum-
mon jury, but fell over rocking chair,
barked his shins, woke up and asked his
wife what the devil was the matter, any
how.
