Mexico "a D--d Big Accident"

Last week a couple Of men we'll
know in Audrain county, and for that
matter all over the state, were sitting
in a hotel at Columbia, talking with
Squire Turner about the different
towns in Missouri and their adyanta-
ges. Turner, of course, was profuse
in his compliments on his native
town, Columbia, when one of these
gentlemen took occasion to remark
that Mexico was one of the best towns
in the state. MI. Turner replied:
"Pshaw, Mexico is a mere accident"
One of these gentlemen, in his dry
emphatic manner, simply replied 4:
"Well, it is one Of the d-st biggest
accidents I know Of" Turner said
nothing for a moment when he asked
the two parties to take a smoke.

ere 1t has grown familiar with ll4e path ri sin"
Departed this life on the 18th day
OF April, David, son of Henry Bcal.
He was a promising youth just yerg-
ing into manhood, being about Is
years of age. He was known by the
family, by the ncighbors, and by all
who knew him, as q good, kind,
genial boy. He was blessed with 4
large musical talent, which he had
improved, and many a pleasant hour
was passed with friends in singing
tavoritc pieces, or playing the sweet
strains OF music. Like ali who are
surrounded with loved ones ut home
and many kind friends, he would
gladly have lived, but seeing that
death Of tAIs mortal body WAS ap-
.proachimg, he calmly resigned his fate
to the Father of all. While his mother
stood weeping over him Is nc lay sut-
fcring in the arms OF death, lie looked
up to her with a sweet angelic face
and said, MA, don't weep Ior me.
The Lord giyeth and the Lord taketh
away He will give you other com
fort. just ii few more hours and Ill
be SO happy" When asked ii he
thought he'd get well, lu replied, II
don't know. | have prepared to meet
my God.' Some one telling him he
was better, he replied, sob, no. What
makes you think SO? 1t IS hard to
resist the Savior's calling" His de-
parture was calm aud peaceful.
Had he lived, it was his intention to
unite with tile Baptist Church, (prc-
sided by Rev. n. ). Johnson for The
reason he believed it right to he
united to some church organization.
! VIZ would say to the sorrowing friends
remember you lave another tie in
heaven, and when you shall be called
to lay down this mortal body, there
will be Ii more to welcome you
there. Remember while
There are loving eyes we've closed at night mid
signing md bite: tears,
They are beanting bright, meath the brows of
light, untouched by the froStS of years;
Then look up. yc poor and suffering, 70 weary
troubled and sad,
Let the eye glow bright with The Old time light.
and the aclIeing heart be glad"
The funeral ermon was preached
by Rev. Banks. A large number of
people were in attendance.

LIGHT FROM THE STATE OF NE"
YORK AT LAST.

Two conventions. claiming 10 De
Democratic, met at Syracuse on the
goth inst, each Of which adopted res
olutions, appointed presidential cleo
tors and sent delegates to the Cincin-
matt convention. AS was anticipated,
one of these assemblages was run in
the interest Of Mr.. Samuel j.. Tllden,
and the other in that of Mr.. John
Kelly. The one claimed to represent
the counties, and the other, the city
of New York. The one controlled
the state democratic machinery and
used it remorselessly, and the other,
though embracing in its roll many
prominent and influential politicians,
was a mere skeleton of democratic
representation. On this account no
one can tell how the sentiments eX-
pressed by either accord with those
OF the people, in whose name they
acted, and, therefore, it cannot be
important that democrats living at a
distance from this center of cOnten-
ton should consider the conflicting
resolutions INDUCED in. Interest will
rather concentrate upon expressions
that were common to both bodies and
tended to reunion.
In appointing their delegates, the
Tilden branch of the democracy COM
missioned them without other in
structions than to vote as a unit and
for the %two-thirds rule, and in ac-
crediiing theirs the Tammanyites
pledged themselves to sustain any
worthy presidential nominee. This
was no doubt the best that could be
done, and leads to the hope that an
undivided democratic front may yet
be opposed to the Republican party
in the empire state.
The Tildenites are the most numer-
Gus, and to yield to Tammany unre-
servedly would be to surrender their
majority rights. The difficulty Of the
situation does not arise from the ar
rogance and offensivcness Of MIR.
Kelly, nor yet from the bolt of Tam
many, however hard those things may
be to bear, but from the soze and de-
termination of the minority opposed
to their candidate. 1t springs from
the fact that nearly eighty thousand
democrats have refused to vote for
MIR. Tilden or his adhereDts, and that
without their assistance New York
cannot be carried. Could the Til.
denites command votes enough tC
secure that State, Kelly and Tammany
might with justice be excluded from
democratic councils, and tue Cincin-
natl convention may decide to dc
something Of that sort.
The idea that the democracy of the
nation can and ought to harmonic
differences and contentious that may
: exist within its membership in a state
may be novel, and yet when the Gin
cinnati convention meets and has lis
tened to everything connected will
this unfortunate rupture, when il
shall have considered party interest.
and decided upon the availability o
the candidates that shall be presented
to it, doubtless a nomination will b,
made to which the great body of thu
democratic voters of New York
whether they be Tildenites or Tam
manYites, will have no just cause o
objection, but who that fortunate in
dividual will be is yet within tn
womb of time.
We congratulate the country tina
both branches of the New York de
mOcracy have submitted their griev
ances to the National Convention.
