A WESTERN ROMANCE,

A Sedaiia, Missouri, paper contains
the following interesting and somewhat
peculiar story, the truth OF which, how
ever, is unquesuoned: Leroy MlJcheu,
aged seventy-fve years, is wealthy
farmer, who resides ten miles south Of
Il cnmond, Madison County, Kentucky.
Forty 1.-TWO years ago u child was born
which bore the relationship of daughter
and grand-niece 70 Leroy Mitchell. The
child grew to womanhood in an adjacent
county, and became noted unlearned
rustic beauty. At length she married
one james Num-, very poor man, who
dragged out all exlstence by performing
hard farm labor. Three children blessed
this union.
Four years ago Num- and his family
started to Kansas. Wuen they reached
Sedalia their money was gone. Num-
sought farm work, and, characteristic
with his life, moved from one tenant
farm to another each succeeding season
While Mum was yearly getting lower
and lower in the scale OF poverty, Leroy
Mltche!Ps wealth grew larger and larger,
until his estate became the largest in
Madison County. About one year ago a
cancer developed in mis- face. The best
medical attention failed tO stop It's raw
ages, and death was apparently but d
matter OF briet lime. His heart so. LeBed
toward his child, and he vowed to tiud
her and place in her hands the estate
which was virtually hers.
Advertisements were sent throughout
Kansas ana Colorado, but with no right.
lul response. Finally, one OF the col
umns Of st. Louis daily was called
Inlo requlsition. This ielL into the
hands OF Mr.. j. W. Christian, OF Dres.
den, Missouri, who sought an interview
with one James Mum, who lived on the
Ewing Iarm, near that place. They
proved to be the long lost family.
Mr.. Christian aJ once forwarded the
Information to Kentucky, aud last Sat
urday MIR. j. b. PARK, at the earnest So.
nc .tation OF Leroy Mitchell, reached
Dresden and brought the Mum family
Lo Sedulia, where he furnished them ar
entire new outfit.
Nunps entire household effects would
not have realized $40. On Monday
mornil G the entire party started fol

Words OF Warming.

During the present year, as in the
past, the grave will close over thou
sands, simply because they neglect the
means which would restore them to
health. Meet the fell destroyer at the
threshold, and dispute his invasion by
by that more than wonderful medicine,
DR.. Morris Syrup of Tar, Wild Cherry
and Horehound. There is no cough or
cold, case OF asthma, bronchitis, blood
splitting, weak lungs, Group or whooping
cough which will not yield more readily
to this great BOTANICAL remedy Than
any other medicine. 1t you would avoid
disappointment, and be speedily cured.
ask your druggist for Dr. Morris Syrup
OF Tar, Wild Cherry and Horehound.

colored bear deVouring what might be a
a boy or bultfrogs A slight effort OF
the Imagination, however, would make
1t out wicked boy who had been max
ing sport of somebody's capillary defol-
ences. On another pair z ,chariah, in a
a navy jacket, with rubber overshoes
and a clay pipe, was depicted seated in
a huckleberry bush, which was too
small for an ordinary sized birds nest.
JonaRs transaction with the whale re-
ceiyed two distinct interpretations-one
where he was being taken in, or, SO to
speak, absorbed, and the other where b G
made his clandestine exit.
The question arises, What becomes OF
all these clerical slippers? Remember
that this 10 an annual and ever iucreas-
ing tribute which the profession has had
to endure time out of mind. A popular
clergyman can not wear any OF his gifts
without fear OF ohense to some Of the
sighted givers. He can not sell them
near home. No foreign "Slipper Ex'
change" has yet been established. What
becomes OF themf That mau will do q
good work who devises slme plan o.
relief to the over-slippered clergy o.
America.

FIREPk0OF DRESS.

Mr.. Oestberg, q Swede, has been con-
ducting some sensational experiments
in various parts OF the Continent with
his tireproot gu t. This Is made in TWO
layers, the inner one OF India rubber,
the outer OF EHgiish leather, the heaa
being protected by helmet lesembing
that worn by divers. Az the girdle is
fixed piece of hose, which serves both
Tor air ana waer. The air pipe, fed from
two blowers, is placed inside the water
pipe, and brings the air, alter being
cooled by the surrounding water, into
the inner part Of the dress. The air II .
fiates the costume, pas ssing away through
the two small openings made for eye
pieces. The current Of air not only
keeps the enclosed body cool, but drives
smoke and fl ,me away from The eyes.
At the back tne water pipe divides, on
branch serving as an ex, iuguisher, the
other passing into the outer coating OIL
the dress, the stream being distributed
over the whole outer surface. With the
apparatus on, the experimental stood In
the middle Of a pie Of burning shavings
aud logs without taking the least harm.
Ii a continued use OI this apparatus
showed similar results, II is likely to be

In the absence OF any more serious
duties the statistican of the New York
Times has taken up the subject OF cler-
ical slippers, Not those clerical slip
pers who, having loved not wisely but o
well, slip away from their tlocks
into oblivion, the penitentiary or poll
tics, but that consoler of the clerical
pedals which tho female mind elabor-
ates for her beloved pastor as holiday
presents. The Times statistician says
ended the total number OF clerical Slip
pers presented amounts to SS7.2l This
gross sum does not represent pairs, but
single slippers. The number of pairs
would be 443 6o71z-the single slipper be-
