opened 10 1867 the Emperor Napoleon said
that it proclaimed peace to the world; but it
did not do 80, for the French. German war soon
followed. The only authority claimed for this
appropriation was that the Constitution author

welfare. These experiments could be best car.

A dispatch from Carthage, Mo-, to the 81.
Louis Globe Democrat says -
This city aud community have been thrown
into great excitement for two days past over
the clopemcnt Of two young lads and two lassles,
whose ages range from thirteen to fifteen years.
One Of the boys is the son Of the cashier Of the
First National Bank of this city, and tho other
the son Of prominent lawyer. The girls are
both daughters OF very respectable families, and
their remarkable cscapadc is, perhaps, without
parallel. The names are withheld for the
sake of the thoughtless young girls, who. it is
hoped, may yet be reclaimed from the ruinous
path they have chosen. The runaway was
made Monday evening, and, although the child
rem were missed, it was not until Tuesday that
it was asccrtaincd that they had slid together.
Officers were put on their trail, but only sue
cceded 10 finding their camping place on Mon
day night, about four miles east of town in the
woods along Spring river. Nothing further
could be learned Of the fugitives until this
morning about daylight, when one of the boys
came to town for some provisions and told
chum of their whereabouts. This chum gave
them away to the officers, who soon found them
secrctcd 10 very comfortable quarters in bay.

sock their Haidces and reached the woods in
safety. The girls were broug bit to town and re-
turned to their families. The boys were pur.
sued unit! nearly noon TO day, but outwitted
the officers, and are still at large The girls will
not converse, Nor give any explanation of their
rash and dangerous act. The four have been
infatuated with each others charms for some
time, and it is probable that they thus thought
to reach some poiot where they could live by
themselves unknown to the world. They arc
we'll educated and smart for their age, and the
gIlls arc very pretty and viVacIous. They start

frustrated their plans.
