WIEN SOME OF our neighbors seem TO hold
themselves rather above US In a social point OF
view, and when we have experienced one or two
notifying Snubs ia our attempts TO force our
selves, uL masked upon their society, we begin
10 long TO become citizens OF more decidedly
ciass-leveiling republic. But when the unmis-
takably lower orders presume upon the social
ed equality OF our democratic institutions 10
thrust their unSayory persons into our own
sphere as our social peers. then indeed we begin
to fuly appreciate the beauties OF more strictly
ariStoCratical government than ours in which
proper class distinctions are r1gidly maintained.

2NIcIssITuDEs OF A SPECULAToR.-A telegram
from Elmira, n. Y, February "a, SAYS: Jas. C.
Slocum died in Bryan (Ohio) county jail a few
Gays since, where he was confined for getting
mohcy; by false representations. He was taken
there from Hannibal. Mo-, where he was under
arrest for bigamy having married widow. He
had wife and three children living in this city.
and they are here now. He married his wife
In Michigan over 20 years ago, and the widow
last June. Slocum was a large railroad con-
tractor; Ia 1865 he was superintendent OF
the western division OF the Erie railroad.
Before that he was division superintendent OF
the Hannibal and st. Joseph. In 1869 he built
q ralir0ad In Michigan, Judge, now Senator
Chlistiancy being his attorney, with whom,
also, he engaged at the same time in oil Specu-
latlonS In Virginia. In 1872 he secured, with
others, the contract for building the Rochester
ana state Line railroad. That nearly ruined
him. He then began specializing In wall street,
where he shortly lost everything. He then
came again to this section, saw his family and
went west, with the result as above His wife,
ME- MIS- Slocum, charitably forgtves him, assigning
his actions to mental alteration, brought about
by his financial difficulties In the Rochester
railroad. He is said TO have a wealthy brother
in Vermont. Mrs. SlOcum has been supporting
herself and children for two or three years.
