apprehension or through malice l shall not
say. But this is to ''postulate infallibility. -
Certainly it is. 1t is to postulate infalli-
bility against questionable and doubtful
alleged facts of history as affect the
truths of revelation, in the same way as
Mr. Smith, If he has faith, postulates the
divinity of Christ against the arguments
of Renan, and postulates the divine at
tributes of Christianity against Gibbon
and Hume It is in regard of such
writer's as these and the pretended his
torical critics of our times IN England
and on the continent, that this passage
of Cardinal Manning, quoted so arro-
gantly by Mr.. Smith, refers: "The pre-
tentious historical criticism of these days
has prevailed, and will prevail, to under
mine the peace and the confidence, and
even the faith of some. But the city
seated on a hill is still there, high and
out of reach. 1t cannot be
hid, and is its opn esidence,
anterior to its history, and independent OF
it. Its history is to be learned of itself. -
These latter words are an enigma to Mr..
Smith, ,-''The city seated on hill (the
CnuICu VI OOUJ IlSn duO OuI VI TedC1l,
ETC." The sense is obvious in view of
what have just said. The evidence of
the divine formation of the church are
are declarations Of Jesus Christ made be-
fore the church began its course throug
history; this evidence asserts itsfelf by
its own force independently of all histor-
ical events that may in after centuries
occur. In the light of this faith in the
divinity of Christ's church we read all
history that affects her, and learn her own
history from herself This is the inexor-
able logic of her divine institution.
Mr. Smiths Professionalism may
make it difficult for him to understand
this practically. His professionalism is
incompatible with the idea of divine
faith. He has no conception of what
positive truth, as declared by divine rev.
elation, really is. His conceptions OF
the teachings of Christ are the merest
opinions, and according to his principles
they can be nothing more. Faith with
him is not the absolute, certain convic-
ton which it is with the Catholic; and
this, perhaps, is why he does not under
stand how Catholics do not allow their
faith to be disturbed by any, whatever
events may have occurred or may occur
in the worlds history, or by any, what.

A CRUEL DISCRETION.
VIM. Frank, a Farm Hand, De-
serts His Wife and Child.

About three weeks ago. VIA. Frank. a
farm hand. who resided in the northern
part Of this county. deserted his wife and
child and Game Ia this city. Although hi,
wife made dili.ent inquiries about him,
she learned nothing of his where
abouts until Yesterday. when she arrives!
in this city and learned that he was at a
boarding house in TIE western part Of the
CITY.
She Immediately visited his place o:
residence, and not finding him there, LEI,
the child, which il about year old, tell
ing the landlady To give ii TO him when liz
returned. After this Mrs. Frank took her
departure. saying that she would return
later i'm the day.
Frank did no; put in an appearance uu-
I'll about noon, and was not little sur
prised at finding his offspring awaiting
him. The landiady told him about the
arrival of the child and stated that lis
mother would return shortly.
About three o'clock Mrs. Frank again
arrived al the house and was met by her
truant husband, who made all sorts Of
apologies for his actions and promised to
return To his home and support his wife
and child. After making these promises
he informed his wife that he would GO up
town and procure lodging for himself,
wife and child, as j. was too late for them
to start home that evening. On this pre-
tense he left, and since that time nothing
has been heard Of him.
Frank formerly lived in this city, where
he bears anything but an enviable repu.
tation, having served term in the county
Jail for petit larceny, besides bea ing nu-
merous board bills, coupled with other
rascality. He has probably gone to Texas,
as he has relatives residing near Dallas,
in that state.

County. Out a Valuable
Gold Watch,

Amount Of "the Root Of

And the Entire Affair is, Up to

in Mystery.

Judge u. Hurt, one Of Saline coun;y'>
mos, prominent citizens, and 4 gentleman
we'll known in Sedalia, went through an
experience last night that is shrouied in
mystery, and is a little ont o; the usual
order OF such things, TO say the least.
Yesterday he started from his iarrl in
Saline, intending to vi>i; Setialia He
drove his own team al horses. at,achet, Ia

thinks it was little after dark.

night, As Mr.. J. \. Hornin:, the Ohio
stree, barber, was going hOnle, he w.s
hailed by gentleman who was
standing erec, in his buggy in

valuab!es were gore. lie thought some one
had given him ci.iOroform, after which the
robbery was pcrpetraied. The aEounl oi
money taken was s;:,ail, the Judge said,
but the watch, chain and locke: were
worth one hundred and thirty-:ive dollars.
The iocket contained pictures oil his wife
and daughter and was highly priced.
While Mr.. Hurt thinks he was robbed.
he says i, may be possible tina; he lost the
valuahle> while driving along, asleep. The
latter theory, however. is not Il plausible
one.
The matter was referred to the police,
but they are - much in the dark rs Mr..
Hurt himself. They are working upon
the case, though, and something may We,
be unearthed.
Judge Hart is 4 strictly temperate man.
and last night is the ;irst time he ever ex-
rerienced anything like the feeling he had
when he awokc on Main street.

Extensive Building of Railways

To give an idea OF the extent OF railroad
building in Mexico, it is said that over
forty thousand workmen are actively al
work in railroad building; S4,547 500 is
guaranteed by the Mexican government on
certain conditions. Forty-two railroads
were in progress during the year. OF these
two are finished. Under the terms of the
contract over six hundred miles must be
finished by the end of the year. This does
not include the six hundred and sixty
miles already built. The total length Of
all these lines when completed will be, in
round numbers, 5000 miles.

The Cost of Living.

Only landlords AMI housekeepers realize
the extent to which everything in the way
Of vegetables and other necessary articles
of daily consumption have advanced with
i'm the past few months. A year ago the
economical housewife could start out wi tn
her order book and purse and buy supplies
at about the following prices: Flour, 81 80
to 81. Is per sack of 50 lbs; potatoes, Is
cents peck; apples, 10 cents peck to-
matoes, % to so cents peck; cabbages,
to 10 cents head; peaches, pears, grapes
and other fruits at prOpOrtionately low
prices. This season the same economical
housewife starts out with twice as much
money as formerly, and she pays $40 for
60 10. sack Of -four; 80 cents for a peck
Of potatoes; SOC for like quantity of APP
piles; 10 cents dozen for inferior toma-
toes $l.OO to S1.5O a box for peaches
which she wouldn't have had last year as
precious gift; cabbage (if any are to be
found 10 cents for head as big as your
fist, and other vegetables and fruits at pro-
portionate high prices. Canned fruits,
smoked and picked meats, and almost ev-
cry line Of grocery goods have advanced
from % to SO per cent. And yet wages are
about the same as last year, and the man
of family who is getting from Sl.50 to
$500 day has hard time making both
ends meet. This is certainly very unfor-
tunate, but it must be looked upon as
visitation of Providence that can't be
helped. Nobody can be held responsible
for the drouth, though the greenbackers
may attribute the absence of rain to the
at Washington or the rail-
road monopOlies.

Of the judges was without doubt correct
one. Mr.. Smith, the starter, kept a care
full record of each half mile, and as he put
ii down as each lady came around, Col.
Learnard, president Of the association,
noted that il was correct. In the reporters
stand each representative Of the daily press
made his own record, and all agree with
that made by the judges. No one had bet

Two Women Artists.

Miss Beckett, unlike the girl of the period,

that she is devoted to art" yet none the less,

absorbed air, is as familiar to Bostonians as the
"Old South, }" the Common, or king chapel"

pedestrians who must walk off their surplus

who came out there to walk, or to teach other
people to walk, I'm not quite clear which.
At all events, The pedestrian tastes OF these
two ladies brought them together. Miss Won
Hillern walked off "over the hills and far
away" for practice, Miss Beckett, for sketches.
Now and then Fraulein Bertha would astonish
her artist companion with an artistic view OF
some nook or upland. "Yon should be
painter!" exclaimed Miss Beckett. 'You shall
be painterl" she added in the next breath.

earth beneath should dream of resisting that
