St. Louis Sar.l
A Star reporter to-day met James
IL. Moore, a resident Of Madison
county, Mo, who is now on his way
from the delusive fields of New Edo
rado, Leadville, to his native county
in Southeast Missouri. Mr.. Moore
was enticed to visit Leadvillc by gor-
geOus descriptions he read of the place
in the newspapers, and says he was not
in the town five minutes before he
realized that he had been almost as
badly sold as the negro emigrants who
are on their way to Kansas to receive
sixty-eight acres of land and a mule
from the government He left st.
Louis January 18th last, went from
here to Kansas City, thence via the
Kansas Pacific railroad to Denver,
thence to Pueblo by rail, and then by
stage-coach to Leadville. He found
Leadyille to be a cosmopolitan min
ing town, in an extremely mountain
GUS country, with few natural facili-
ties and precious little room for i'm
provement. The town, as well as the
surrounding country, is owned by
spectators. " And right here, says
Mr. Moore, " is the whole business in
a nutshell. The railroads, which
own about nine e-tonths of Kansas and
Colorado, aud the spectators, are in
colleague, and the programme is to
advertise extensively, thereby induce
emigration so the spectators can sell
their town lots and wildcat mineral
lands, and the railroads can sell their

NASHVILLE, TENN.
Earnest Efforts by Influential Members
to Bring About a Compromise Meas.
ure Regarding the State
Debt.

Special Dispatch to the Courier-Journal.l
NASHVILLE, March 23.-Recogniz-
ing the critical juncture of affairs,
earnest efforts have been made to-day
by influential members of either house
to bring about a compromise measure
bearing on the State-debt question, so
framed as to suit the two factions of
the Democratic party. AS telegraph
ed you, the senate has agreed to sub
NIT a proposition of forty cents with
five per cent. interest to the people.
Since the action of the senate, the
legislature is in receipt of tele-
grams from bondholders refus,
ing to recede from their original
proposition of sixty cents. Low tax
men and State credit men are now
agreed that the only hope of settle
ment depends on the action of the
house; and they seek to have the
senate proposition so amended that as
to substitute fifty cents and four per
cent. interest, instead of forty and
five. Should this be done, there is
now no doubt that the bill so amended
would be agreed upon by the senate,
and it is claimed by the State credit
men that it would meet with the
approval Of the bondholders. A large
number of citizens from different
portions Of the State are here, and
more expected, to use influence in
securing an adjustment. The house
will begin the discussion of the subject
Tomorrow.

LONDON, March 25.-In the house

that if the treaty of Berlin was not

the sultan was authorized to ask for

ANGEL IN PRISON.
In an Airy Room, and Up to His Ears in
Business, He Passes the Weary
Days Of His Confinement.

Inter-0cean.l
While at Joliet yesterday repre-
sentative of the Inter Ocean had the
pleasure Of meeting Mr.. Angel, who,
it may possibly be remembered, a
short time ago was sentenced to ten
years in the penitentiary for embezzle-
ment. Angel is engaged in the bust
ness office Of the prison. 1t is nice,
airy room, with three windows six feet
high looking out on to delightful
lawn, which extends as far as the eye
reaches. From one window the eye
rests upon a large greenhouse, and
from the other in the summer is waited
the scent of a thousand beautiful
flowers. Seated at black-walnut
desk, in a cushioned armchair, sits
Angel. 1t is true his striped suit is
not a perfect fit, while his closely
shaven face and cropped hair do not
add to his personal attraction, but for
all that he seems like the Angel of
old, inasmuch as he is up to his ears
in business. His desk was covered
with all sorts of documents, invoices.
and so forth. On the window sill to
his left were piled number of huge
ledgers, and a small table behind him
was fairly weighted down with books
in which the accounts of the prison
are kept. The only thing that was not
in full keeping with his former mag
nlticence was a cracker-box which
peeped forth from under the table. and
the label, "28 lb. full weight" was
painfully suggestive. In place of a
porcelain cuspadore to his right
was common iron spittoon, painted
green, and filled with sawdust He is
quiet, obliging, unassuming and atten-
tive. He goes about his business as
though he was interested, now and
then asking a question. When asked
about his fare, and how it compared
with the Palmer House, he answered
with jocularity, "Oh, it is not quite
so nice, but relish it as much.
OF course the authorities of the
prison never tell any one that Angel
is in the business Office, so that gen,
tleman often hears himself freely
talked about by those who do not
know him. While the Inter Ocean
representative sat reading a paper in
the office knowing one came in and
loudly said
Well, boys, guess you've got an
Angel here since was last at the
prison. "
Angel sat at work two yards from
the speaker.

ing one, Z" want to see that cuss
Where is he at work, anyhow"
The head clerk replied with merry
twinkle in his eyes, We've put him
to work in the stone-yard."
Indeed" said the inquirer, and
then he volunteered his idea about the
crime and the course Angel had pur,
sued, much to the edifcation, nc
doubt, of Angel and those present.

Little SARAH BLESSING went to sleep March
Y, 1879, aged years. months and l3 days.
Who that has ever looked into the bright,
beautiful face Of this little child will not re-
call picture fresh and sweet as blossom of
the early spring-time! And who that has
ever heard her baby prattle will not appreci-
ate somewhat the desolate emptiness of that
home to-day! Lovely, winsOme little lrlingl
She looked such kinship to the flowers,
Was but little taller"
Like lily, bathed in the freshness of morn
ing dew, she grew and blossomed in the full
radiance and beauty of a child's pure life for
one brief hour, as it we're, and the next, was
clipped to bloom beside the rose of Sharon,

gather lilies, and now, 1.-THE angels have
thee, sweet, because we are not worthy"
Little blossom, memory has framed your wee, 4,
pretty face into picture to be worn upon
desolate hearts, and precious baby, memory
is weaving for thee a garland Of sweet
thoughts more beautiful than the pale, pure
blooms clasped within your dimpled waxen
fingers.

MENOTTI GARIBALDIs latest pro-
ject, that of establishing colony, and
eventually nation, on New Guinea,
an island off the north coast of Aus
tralia, is interesting, because it promi-
ses to open up a new land to the ex-
plOrer and colonist. Very little is
known about the interior of New
Guinea, except that it contains forests
of valuable woods, strange plants, and
birds of brilliant and valuable plum
age. If three thousand colonists, well
supplied with the means to establish
themselves firmly on the island, can be
taken there under the command of
experienced men, it will not be long
before this great island may be opened
up to more peaceful settlers than dis
satisfied Italian Republicans. The
area Of New Guinea is estimated to be
equal to that of Texas, or of the New
England and Middle States, Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois combined-so
that there will be plenty of room for
the colony to grow.

What can a man do after he gets
to Leadville to make money!"
IF he has got money, he can go to
hotel and pay $40 per week for board,
or take private house or tent at $12
per week, and wait for something to
turn up-and he will have to wait for
a long time or he can invest his sur

What are the chances for man
seeking employment
About one-half of the town is now
seeking employment-at least one
half of the population have nothing
to do. There is no room for the clerk,
mechanic or laborer. The only de-
mand for laborers is in the mines,
where experienced miners are wanted
and not green hands. The city is full
of miners from the Black Hills and
Montana. Many of them can get
nothing to do, and there is no chance
for a new hand while there is an old
hand obtainable. RThere are hundreds,
| might say thousands, of able bodied
men out Of employment, penniless and
living no one knows how.
DO the owners of mines make
much money!"
l think not, as it requires a great
deal Of capital to work a mine, A
poor man has no use for gold mine,
unless he can sell it, and to sell it he
must have it sufficiently developed to
show that there is gold in it, which
he cannot do unless he has money.
The mines are in and around Lead
vile, but no one knows whether there
has been gold taken from them in
paying quantities or not, as the pro-
prietors all work together in this re-
spect. Occasionally an individual is
found who has been enticed by the
glowing accounts of the place, who has
a little money, and who invests in a
claim. He soon finds he has an ele-
phant on his hands, and watches his
opportunity to sell some one as he was
sold. The combination owning the
country have runners in their en-
ploy, who use all kinds of devices to
get people to buy"

y If you had seen this old
man as he sat in the corner where the
spring sun fell brightest. Ifyou had
heard his words of faith, you would
know that faith can become second

dying only when the heart ceases its
beatings. He had said "Those who

hear their footsteps, and they will
lead me over the dark river into heav-

day he sat alone in the sunlight. No
one dreamed that his end was near.
When his feeble, worn, but still low
ing wife, entered the room to see if
he slept, the old mans pale, dead
face had such a smile as she had
never seen before, and his hands
were held out as if to give greeting.
While the house was still the old man
heard the footsteps of his faith. For
more than a score of years he had
waited andlistened and never doubted.
Had men told him that there was
nothing beyond earth but dust and
darkness it would have broken his
heart Softly fell the footsteps along
the hall, as if children were creeping
in to give grandpa a surprise, and
when the old man raised his hand and
turned, that smile, which even death
could not fade, was brought to his face.
