4 correspondent of the London Miller
states, aS the results of some thirty
years experience with four mills, that
he has seen and known MANY mill fires
the majority of which have taken place
in the night, and most of them after
the mills have shu: down many hours,
many OF these breaking out OF Sun
day morning. and even a. late As the
evening, or after midnight-that is, on
Monday morning. The cause of such
long interval he attributes to the
smouldering of dust around some hot
bearing until it has assumed a body of
fire and charred wood, when a slight
draught produces a flame, which. be-
fore being noticed, is spread too far to
be stopped, the mill and its contents
becoming a heap of ruins. The REM
edy for this, Of course. is an inspection
Of all the bearings before locking up at
night.

w. PEMBERTON.

1t is but justice TO the gentleman
whose name heads this article, to say
that he was no candidate for Repre-
sentative in the Mondays convention.
He had persistently refused to take
the nomination, when approached on
the subject, but in his absence from
the city his name was placed before
the convention by steadfast friends,
and he received a very large compli
mentary vote.
If Colonel Pemberton had evinced a
desire to have the place, undoubtedly
he would have been nominated on the
first ballot.

the communists have decreed that on

was yesterday, originally fixed for the
adjournment of Congress, every car

well be said that civilization Is to stop,

crees it. Even Jasper Of Virginia

The City Council of st. Louis have
been inquiring into the merits of the
Mofett bell punch, and their commit
tee, after much deliberation, takes
ground in favor of making the pop
ular appetite for liquor contribute to
the city's need for money. Besides
being fairer than the license system of
taxing the retail liquor trade, say the
St. Louis saloons,it possesses the merit
of being a purely voluntary tax upon
the customer, for as long as the Mis-
sissippi river holds out no man In that
town would need to wet his throat
with alcoholic liquor, nor to hear the
excise bell behind the counter ring

fers. Moreover, an itemized tax of
two cent glass on whiskey and halt
cents glass on malt beverages would
tend to increase the popularity of beer
and river water among the tipIpers.
The record Of the bell punch in Rich.
mond seems to prove that the lovers
of strong drink are not above COM
promising occasionally on the cheaper
and less higher taxed lager. decrease
being noted in the consumption of
whiskey, along with a corresponding
increase in the consumption of beer.
But the most attractive feature of the
bell punch tax is that it goes directly
for the pocket of the stranger within
the gates. if he be drinking man-as
he often is-and makes taxpayer of
him a: Orce. 1t is estimated that
1000 strangers visit the St. Louis
fair every year, and undoubtedly the
dust and SCOT produce a mighty thirst
among them. The committee point
out that if only $4,000 of these stran-
gers take three drinks of st. Louis
whiskey day for six days, the slack.
ing of their thirst would net nearly
$4,000 to the punch.

THE CONVENTION.

As will be seen by reference to an
other column of to-day's paper, that
the representatives of the Greenback
party throughout the state are assem-
bled in convention in this city. They
number two hundred and may fairly
be said to represent the working
classes of Missouri, the agricul tural
element predominating. In all Justice,
We must say the personnel of the con-
vention is such as to bespeak for the
action Of the convention the respect
full consideration of all conscientious
citizens.
Of the purposes of the convention
il is not the intention OF the BaZoo
to speak at present, when the plat
form and principles of the party, still!
in embryo, have been enumerated, it
will be time to comment upon the
movement which is struggling into life
in the midst of US to-day.
1t is the purpose of the BAzoo in
referring to the convention in this
column, simply to welcome to Sedalia
the gentlemen who are temporarily
making their homes here. 1t was
fitting, that in casting abou; for a
place of meeting, this most central.
enterprlsing and fertile spot of the
great state should have been selected
MS the birthplace of new ideas and
perhaps a new party. Our visitors
are welcome to Sedalia and they will
find our people as generous, hospita
and cordial as ever the most sanguine
of natures could hope for.

1t is stated that Mr.. Christian h.
Ross, in the search for his son Charley
has caught and examined 49, boys.
These were many of them stolen. and
through the publicity of the investi-
cations were returned to their homes.
The othes were lost wanderers, and a
large majority of them were provided
with comfortable homes nv charitable
people whose attention had been at
tracted TO them by their supposed
likeness TO Charley Ross. All that
poor persons with superiuous boy
on their hands have to do is to start

fate, of saving four or FIVE hundred
lost boys to useful manhood. No boy

There is o pretty Alpine hut inhabited

JUDGE ROBERTS.
The Democratic Candidate for Governor
of Texas
Galveston News.l

lStdlN6SlOn N0WS'I
Judge Roberts Democratic candidate for
Governor, came to Texas more than thirty
years ago commenced the practice of his
profession and was soon after made district
Attorney In O short time he was made Judge
Of the Fifth District, which position he held
until the death of the lamented LipscOmb,
when he was elevated to the vacancy on the
Supreme bench. On the secession of Texas
from the Union, Judge Roberts resigned from
the Supreme Court, and took com mand, as
Colonel, of the Sixteenth Texas Regiment,
In which capacity he displayed all the
qualities OF a soldier and endeared himself
to his men, not only by gallantly leading them
wherever duty called, but by extending over
them the kindly care of O father for his chill
dren. Before the close OF the war he was
again placed on the Supreme bench, from
which he was removed on the commencement
Of reconstruction measures in Texas. In 1866
he was elected United States Senator, but was
not permitted to take his seat. After this he
resumed the practice Of his profession, In
which he continued till the inauguration Of
Gov. Coke in 1874, when he was appointed
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court,
der the new constitution he was
nominated by the Democratic convention that
met in Galveston January, 1876, and elected
without opposition. He still holds the office
of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to the
satisfaction OF the people Of Texas. Besides
native capacity, large information and mature
experience, united with the most sterling in
tegrity, Judge Roberts is believed to possess
in no ordinary degree tastes and aptitudeS for
executive functions. These qualities, ami
mated with the patriotism and public spirit
Of thorough Texan, whose heart is as big as
the whole State and pulsates equally for all
sections, hold out well-f0unded assurance
that he will make not only conscientious
and faithful, but an emnently efficient and gen.
orally satisfactory Governor.
