Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1879-01-02

IL the gas companies had the power to
contract the sunlight out of existence for
the purpose of raising the price Of their
stocks, and 81 ould exercise it, they would
be practicing only the same high-handed
qXtor'lon that the banks are, in attempt
ihg to cXtinguish the free grcenbacks, so
as to raise the value of bank stock.
Tie contraction of the currency and the
equalization of grcenbacks and gold have
been brought about III the interest of a
few thousand bondholdcrs. The result is,
the value of the principal and interest due
them has been doubled, while the labor
and property forty millions of debtors have
depreciated to half their original value
and their death burdens increased to twice
he original proportions.
VINO wonders that labor and enterprise
are so severely oppressed by capital? La-
Dor and enterprise elect men to congrcs,
and support them while there, but capital
ntllizes them. Out of 293 members OF
congress, 223 are lawyers. What do law.
yers know about the needs of labor and
enterprise? They are educated in a pro.
icssion, whose fundamental doctrine is tc
advocate right or wrong for fee. Capi.
tai can afford to fee, and lawyers as class
are ready to accept it for service, on either
side of the case.
Ira contraction of the currency to a spc.
Gle basis is essential TO the future wcllpr,
and prosperity of the country, and Tina
contraction naturally involves a loss. BY
Shrlnkage IN commercial values, wby
should net all interests and parties share
cdally in the sacrifice? WhCn propcrty
labor and the means necc ,sarv TO no,
debts, are taxed TO the extc Mt Of half thei,
value for the public good, why ehould moi
credit and incomes bear their propcr pro.
portions of the sacrifice. by shrinking a So
instead of doubling value?

their mining camp they built frail craft at
the bottom Of the canyon, having previously
taken down their material or red cedar.

upon trial was found to carry its cargo of
freight and passengers admirably So on
the morning of the 23d of July, they united

OF the river, which before starting was al,
most dcafcning, was terrible as tho boat
started on its journey through this unknown

climb the solid limestone walls which rose
800 feet above their heads, where narrow
streak Of light lighted UP their course, was
not to be entertained as q means of escape;

Making Soap,

III thc hlSG pldCC, uDOtlC Six weeks De-
forehand, the housekeeper must begin
by telling her husband that sllo wants
barrel fixed IN tho back yard to run
OFT lye. or course he won't pay much
attention ut first. but will merely say,
eyes, yes, I'll fix it," and go off to his
work as usual. In week or two she
becomes more emphatic; she tells him
that cvery crock and old pot and broken
dish about tho house Is full Of soap
grease, and that If he don't put up that
lye barrel the grease will certainly get
worms in it. Then he goes out and
looks around the yard and says he don It
sec any barrel and no place to put one
II he did. In about another week she
tells him that If she was man she would
have had that lye barrel put up long
ago, but 1t makes no difference to her
now, as sho means to throw tho soap
grease away anyway; that there is 10
use anyway IN n woman's trying to
save and economics; that 1t don't
amount to anything, as man can
spend Mt tho bung-hole while his wife
saves at the spigot; that she will mover
be any better Off for her economy, and
finally she caps tho climax by telling
him she isn't going to slave for some
other woman to enjoy after she Is dead
ana gone, and then she begins to cry.

hour she discovers that he has really
fixed the lye barrel. Then she wants
the ashes put III 1T and there is not a
creature In sight to help. SO sho rather
shcrpishly carries them herself and
dumps them IN, spelling her clothes,
getting dust in her hair and making
herself generally unattractlve and mis-
erabla by the operation. Whom her
husband comes to dinner he looks ask
ance at her rcd eyes and disordered
dress, but never says soap. Then water

more OF constant and uneasy watching

she gets the hired man to Ak a
place outdoors for fire, and gets the
kettle rigged on 1t and filed with lye.
Then she gathers tho disgusting grease
together and scrapcs it into tho big pot.
The smoke hurts her eyes, .and her
children all have a dangerous fascina-

Palace Of Bernstorff, when suddenly
the royal equipage cam6 into violent
collision with vehicle which was be-

journey on foot. When the rising
young votary Of Thespis discovered
that he had actually endangered the
life Of his sovereign by the clumsy
way In which he he had acted the part
Of q coachman, he became SO confused
that he was unable to give utterance to
his feelings. Nor was hie sperplexity
much relieved when the King. before
pursuing his Journey turned round and

o, think not, my friond,
That I'm always 80 aad,
Bright moments Of pleasure
And JOY l have had
Moments of brightness,
OF peace, and Of love,
As bright and as cheering
AS ought from above.
But Sadness will como
And darken my brow,
And storm sorrow rest
On my heart even now;
But orc tho dawn Of the day
My grief will depart.
And JOY roisn supreme
On my wild throbbing heart.
This lifo is made up
or sunshine and shade,
Flowers must blossom
10 withor and fado.
Pleasure comes with q smile,
For time hovers near,
Then sorrow and grief
Follow on with tear.
But tho clouds break away,
And tho sunbeams 30 fright,
Gild shadows of sorrow
With soft, holy light
We must never glvo way
To grief or to tears,
o. .ife will be but
A lapso Of dark years.
We can make it 80 bright,
30 happy and true,
II wo pass over clouds,
And look for sky soft and blue.
Then mover despond
Nor give sorrow sway,
And JOY will DO ours
Each swift-passing day.

FLoGTER FouND.-About 8 o'clock yes
terday morning Capt. Wolf, Of the West
Wheeling ferry boat, while at the Ohio
shore, observed q curious looking object
floating in the river. Upon approaching
and obtaining better view OF the object,
the Captain discovered that II was the
dead body OF o man. He at once secured
Il with line, and towed Il TO this side Of
the river, near the Belmont Iron Works.
Here crowd soon gathered, and Justice
Wait, OF Webster district, was notified
and summoned jury for the purpose Of
holding an inquest.
The body was that Of q young man not
more than eighteen years Of age, and bore
the appearance OF having been in the
water Tor some time, the face being much
diseolored and the hair nearly oil of the
scalp. The dead man was dressed In a
dark grey cashmere suit, heavy boots,
light calico shirt with diagonal plaids oi
blue. Nothing was found upon his per.
son that would afford the slightest clue TO
his identity, the pockets containing moth.
ing whatever except couple Of fish hooks.
The jury, after having these facts set
before them, returned verdict OF acci.
dental drowning. The city undertaken
took charge Of the body, and inferred II
at the Peninsular Cemetery.
