One of the parties whoro6bed the
stage between Peirce City and Eu'
reka Springs, recently, was captured
in Barry county, No, few days
since, by detective. His name is
W. II. Sanders, and he confessed be-
ing implicated in that bold and
sinful transaction, and states that his
partners were VIM. Lewis and e.
Posey. They were all from CRANKY,
Mo. The two last named had not
been arrested at last accounts, but
no doubt will be, as detectives are
on their track.

One W. f. Martin, a young mar
who was under sentence Of death
for murder, and was confined in the
Lebanon, Mo-, Jail, made his escape
recently, through the assistance Of
the tjailor's neice, girl Of II years
who stole SIS of her uncle's money
and cloped with the convict. The
ground was covered with snow at
the time, and it was thought the girl
would have some of the romance
frozen out of her before the adven.
ture was over. At last accounts they
had not been overtaken.

has been an increase tc 22l, ,33' bales

Georgia stands first on the list of
cotton manufacturing, having work

North Carolina ranking next with

third with 36,346 bales, Florida
standing lowest in the list with 36O

A Story Of Jay Gould.

1t would be impossible for man of
the prominence Of Jay Gould in fnan-
cisl circles to escape an occasional lam
poon. A romance recently appeared in
the St. Louis Republican entitled SHOW
Jay Gould lost his eyebrows" Proba-
bly, very few people knew that he had
lost those facial ornaments. An inti..
nation to- that effect is made, however,
and his misfortune is accounted for in
this way, as we find the story related:
He had his all staked on Union Pacific,
and the stock had been worked up from
8 to abopt,6 &C. A case likely to make
his fortune or rum him was before the
Supreme Court at Washington. When
the decision was to be rendered Gould
hired a private wire and took his seat at
the New York end of it. The first Of
the opinion began to come over the wire
and it was mere history Of the case.
sob, shut him Off" cried Mr.. Gould,
sand ask him whether the decision Of
the lower Court is affirmed" The an
swer was awaited with breathless anx-
iety. Gould sank in his chair as pale
as dead man, and those about him
were concerned for fear that if the deci-
sion was adverse he would be killed BY
it. The operator at length gave the
news that the decision, of the lower
Court had been affirmed. Mr.. Gould
was prostrated, though the decision gave
him millions He was carried to his
house in Fifth avenue, and long,sick-
ness followed. All mis- hair came Out,
including his eyebrows, and those nature
never retrfhed! D9IJ OJ 93LJ0l

p Travelling by stage out west you are
bound to meet some desperate charac-
ters. Such was, the discovery Of an
operator, who left his situation at lit
tie railroad station oyer here in Jersey
and went to San Francisco, where he
found employment d as a commercial
traveller. He was in a stage one day
where his fellow passengers were an ,el-
derly gentleman and two rough looking
men, apparently miners. The Jersey
man talked a While with the old gentle
man, and then went into doze. He
was awakened by hearing taps and
clicks like those OF q telegraph instru
meht. He kept his eyes shut and lis
tened. The words telegraphed were as
follows )" Bill, the. young one is going
to sleep, and ! will, attend to him while
you pitch the old man out over the preci-
pice, when I make the signal, and Sc
cure the box" The old gentleman, had
a large tin box under his, seat. One of
the alleged miners had telegraph the

knife between his teeth. The other an
swered by rafting the coach window,
saying, "All right" The, Jerseyman
thought very quietly for few minutes,

which, if read Consectively, would reao

handed the 1old gentleman the paper

It's most excellent editorial" The

man and the German here found refuge and
gratifed the aspirations for that personal
liberty of thought speech, belief and action,
without which the most exalted man is bat
a splendid slave. In all this the wondrous
works of God who holds the nations In
the hollow of his hand are as plainly
to be seen as if some unpeopled
planet had touched this earth on its way and
taken from it its agencies for the well being OF
man.
The franciscan priest died in obscurity and his
burial place no man knows. His monument Ia
here. His name is written inefaceably upon
this very place in the county which bears 1t.
Where he stood two hundred years ago a des-
pissed captive, sit to-day the rulers of great
state: the professors of a university: the brave
men and the lovely women of his race: the
general of the armies Of the most powerful and
the freest people on earth: the judges of its
greatest courts and the ministers of Christian
les occupy the scene. The cataract has been
manacled by the hand of man and works
like the blind Sampson in his mills. And theft
nal results have not yet been reached In all that
we see there is nothing but the Infancy of q
great people. From the west and the north
west comes the murmurs of awakening empire,
and the prophecies of that ripper time when q
race-composite of the mingled blood of the
nations of Europe-shall present to humanity
its highest type Of phvsical, intellectual and
moral development. One hundred years from
to-day they who shall stand in this place
and repeat these ceremonies. may. from their
vantage ground of knowledge, refinement and
luxury, look upon as their crude forerun-
ners merely. Let us play well our part how
ever. and cause them to say of us as we say OF
those who have preceded us, that we
acted well our part. and secured that larger
liberty, that greater knowledge, that more per-
feet civilization which we of to-day know must
forever bless this favored spot if we do our duty
as our predecessors did theirs.

Gen. Sibkeu's Address.

Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of the
Minnesota Historical society, bid you warm
welcome to the celebration of the two hun
dredth anniversary of the discovery of the
falls of st. Anthony, by Father Hennepin.
Through the courtesy of the board of regents
we have been permitted to occupy the campus
of the State university, overlooking, as it does
the cataract and its surroundings.
The society was encouraged to nope that
many historical, geographical and other So
cieties at home and abroad, to whom invita-
tlons had been extended would be represented
on this occasion; but the distance to be trav-
eresed and other sufficient reasons have for the
most part prevented the attendance of dele
gates. The presence of high officials of the
federal and State governments affords evidence,
however, of The general interest felt in the
event we meet to commemorate.
Whatever may have been the merits OF de-
was a man Of rare physical and
moral courage, devoted to the cause
of his Master, and that he was the first white
man to penetrate the vast wilds of the North
west to the falls to which he gave the name of
his patron saint, Anthony of Pedna, are facts
beyond controversy, and the Minnesota His
torical Society deemed it peculiarly appropriate
that his memory should be hon ored with this
celebration two centuries after his great dis
oovery, on the return of the anniversary of the
birth of the American republic, the precise date
of Hennepin's advent not being known
The society gratefully acknowledges its obli-
cations to the honorable common council and
the citizens generally of Minneapolis, for their
profuse iberality in perfecting arrangements
for the accommodation and entertainment of
the society and of visitors from inside and out
side of the State.
