A scotch Effort with the Long

Concerning the long bow, no Amer
lean effort can surpass one that comes
to us from Scotland:
at was told that Col. Andrew
MDowall, when he returned from
the war,'was one day walking by the
Myroch, when he came on an old
man sitting greetin' on a muckle
stane at the roadside. When he
came up, the old man rose and took
of his bonnet, and said:
@Ye're welcome home again laird"
THANK you said the colonel; add
ing, after a pause, 4 should surely
know your face. Aren't you Nathan
MCulloch?
"Ye're RIGHT, deed says Nathan;
its just me, laird.
"You must be a good age, now.
Nathan, says the colonel.
"I'm no vera aup yet, laird was
the reply; I'm just turn a hummer
"a hundred, says the colonel, mus
ing well, you must be all that.
But the idea of a man of hundred
sitting blubbering that way! What
ever could you get to cry about?
at was my father dashed, me sir,
said Nathan, bTubbering again; an
he put me GOT, so he did,
"Your father! said the colonel; is
your father alive yet?
@Leevinl ay, replied Nathan; l
ken that the day tae my sorrow
"Where is he? says the colonel.
"What an age he must be! l
would like to see him.
"oh; he's up in the barn there
says Nathan; an no in a horrid guide
humore the noe, aither.
"They went up to the barn togeth-
er, and found the father busy thresh-
ing the barley with the big fail and
tearing on fearful. Seeing Nathan
and the laird coming in, he stopped
and saluted the colonel, who, after
inquiring how he was, asked him
what he struck Nathan for.
"The young rascal, says the father,
there's nae dom wi him; he's never
cot o a mischief. I had tae lick
him this mornin' for throwin' stones
at his grandfather!

1.-THE Masque Tern off,

bN Dr. IALNAtEp D-D
The above work contains the dis
courses as lately delivered in the
Brooklyn Tabernacle, giving the au-
tnor's actual observations as seen by
him in the haunts of vice aud pitfalls
of New York City and Brooklyn.
The book is sparkling with graceful
images and illustrative anecdotes,
terrible in their earnestness and IN
compromising IN their denunciation
of sin in all its forms. The book is
just out from the publishing house of
N. d. Thompson & Co., st. Louis,
Mo-, and as a volume is a complete
beauty ; as a youth instructor it has
no equal. The descriptive parts are
very fine-a phrase will portray q
whole character. A sentence will
carry the aroma of clover tops through
the senses, and open both ears to the
songs of birds in a word, the bool
itself is q collection of rarest gem:
whose brilliancy will shine on, re
fectlng back the great mind of the
author after he shall have passed from
time into eternity. John N. Rose
berry is the local agent in this city
for the sale of the work.

OUR
Pride of Mexico.

The closing exercises of one OF the
most successful terms of our public
school are now in progress. Better
work, work that tells and car be ap-
preciated has been achieved during
the past year in our public school
than ever before. Prof. Blanton
makes a most excellent superintend-
ent. In fact, the whole corps of
teachers are just what Mexico needs,
Prof. Gass being one of the best edu-
Gators in the state. Our directors
might go a long ways and not, in any
respect, improve the corps of teach
ers we now have. Judge w. 0.
Forrist will tonight address the Un-
ion Literary Society of that school at
the Presbyterian Church. No charge
of admission will be made and we
trust q full house will encourage the
bows, and show that our citizens and
their parents take some interest in
their advancement. Friday night,
May Esd, the Union Literary Society
will execute a very brilliant and en-
Pertaining programme, (see programs
me elsewhere in this issue) at Opera
House. A eight admission to pay
expenses will be charged. Let this
grand closing exercise of the public
school be well patronized.

The legislature has just concluded
a long and arduous session. Its la
bors have been greatly increased by
the revision of the laws imposed
upon it1by the constitution. Con.
siderable anxiety has been manifest
ed fromotime to time to ascertain the
precise character eff the laws passed,
which could not be met from want OF
Information, and false views of many
statutes have been imbibed from er-
roneous and partisan press reports
that will be dissipated only when the
laws shall be fully published.
Before adjourning resolutions were
offered and adopted, rendering the
thanks of the House to Messrs. Nc
Daniels, Mcintyre, Dryden and An
derson, house members of the revi-
sion committee, to J. II. Hawlev,
official reporter, to the enrolling and
e~ngrossing clerk, the assistants of the
chief clerk and to the citizens Of JEFF

GRANGE CRUEL.
ID. Hi. Mcintyre Vindica ted.

MEXICO, Mo, May II, 1879.
MR.. EDIToR: / noticed in the
last issue of the Intelligencer a series
of resolutions adopted by some
grange, in this county, having for
their sole object, the denunciation OF
our representative, D. II. Mcintyre
in his official capacity, and which as
published, do him gross injustice
and at the same time, must be in Ill
rect conflict, with the better judg
mcnt and conviction of every well
informed citizen of the county.
That Mr.. Mcintyre, as q represen-
tative, during the current spring of
the legislature, has ''faithful among
the faithless'' stood, and at all times,
been a sober, intelligent, pains-taking,
discreet and wise servant of his con-
s%tituency, is such an obvious and po-
tent fact, as we'll as the further fact,
THAT, in morals, brains, experience
and intelligence, he is as a giant
among pigmies, that scarcely a paper
in the state, has failed to notice HIN,
as well as to compliment u county,
in that it was in all respects, so ex-
ceptionally well represented, that, l
must confess when / read the resolu-
| tons, / was astonished.
These resolutions charge unfaith-
f~ulness to and disregard of the inter-
ests of his constituency by Mr.. Nc
Intyre, in regard to several impor-
tant matters, among them; his vote
against the impeachment of Treasur-
er Gates his vote for the act making
1t an offence for candidates for Office,
run upon the Galloway or Tucker
idea" his failure to vote upon or in
favor of the reduction of salaries of
officers, aud the motive with which
he cast his votes upon the interest
bills offered and pending in the legis-
~lature. Surely a large array Of most
grevious charges, and most impos-
ingly published to the world as the
deliberate judgment Of more or less
of citizens of Audrain county in SOL
emn secret conclave assembled"
In two or three letters, with your
permission I, as q voter, propose to
look into those charges, a little in
detail and see whether in the conduct
named, Mr.. Mcintyre has not acted
wisely and well, and entitled to high
commentator rather than
That Mr.. Mcintyre could not. as O
faithful, prudent or wise representa-
tive vote otherwise than he did upon
the matter of impeachment of Treas
urer Gates, will be made apparent by

intelligent man or woman in the state.
1st. Mr.. Gates, in the matters in
volved in the proposed impeachment,
so far as the law vas concerned, act
ed upon the written opinion of the
Attorney-G General, and at most, as to
the law he vas mistaken-not cor
rupt; without dishonest purpose, no
matter how mistaken, he ought not 10
have been iIpeached, nor could he
be, and as to his practices under the
law, as construed by the Attorney
General, he had but followed in the
steps of his predecessors "a course of
practice approved for many years, by
all departments of the state govern
ment, both under Democratic and
Republican rule. In this he could
not be corrupt-he was not dishon-
est, it might have been ill-advised,
but was in violation of nc law, it was
not u observation-disclosures not miscon-
duct in office, for which he could or
ought to have been ~impeached.
End. 1t was absolutely certain,
that had Gates been impeached, by
the House, that the Senate, which
was the trier of the impeachment,
would have acquitted him. Lawyers
of all parties conceded that such a re-
suit only could follow such n trial, and
that such result would be right. This
trial would have cost the state fifty
thousand dollars at least, and it was
in no condition to stand this waste.
Sd. MIR. Gates had already been
tried and acquitted by a Democratic
court and Democratic jury, in q
Democratic county, for the gist of
the matter for which his impeachment
was demanded. That judgment was
nal, and good lawyers were divided
opinion whether or not that judg-
MT was not an absolute bar to all
echment proceedings, while all
that, whether it was a bar or
evidence of Mr.. Gates
ACft would be so persuasive,
, all hope of his sue
ssful prosecution.
4th. IfNtr. Gates were impeached,
although upon trial acquitted, his
impeachment and consequent trial,
would so embarrass him as to make
it utterly impossible for him to REIN
bursc the state, for the money lost
thu ough his mismanagement; but l
not so embarrassed, lie could and IN
the near future, would so reimburse
the state for such loss, IS he now is
doing.
Wby. then, should not Mr.. McIn-
tyre vote rs he did? And, particn'
iy when. no man in the state
Radical, Republican hsaleocratic
believes or at any time has believed
that in the whole transaction, Mr.,
Gates had a dishonest thought, o
made II dollar out of any mistake h'
has made. 1t was wrong to. prose
cute Gates in the court as the verdic
of the jury and the judgment of th'
court demonstrates. Prosecutions
are for criminals, which Gates wa:
not. Impeachment Is for corrupt In
cumbents OF office, and which GATES
was not. Mr.. Mcintyre might have
made some cheap and transient motto
riety by voting and clamoring 70
