II Bob Noryell, the ''boy preacher" as he
calls himself is creating quite sensation over
in Holt County, by his "wit and elOquence."
An Oregon paper promises biography of the
wonderful "boy," (whO is almost forty years of
age.) This postPOnement of the biography un-
til a future time is a wise arrangement. By
that time, Bob will have got off all the wit and
eloquence that he has committed to memory,
and will begin to show up pretty thin, and the
call for biography will suddenly collapse

~ Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri, has had to
suffer n good deal of bullyragging and abuse,
not only from his political opponents, but from
his own party. One side abuses him because he
doesn't do certain things, and the other side
abuses him because he does. We have thought
that Governor Crittenden was pretty decent
and square sort Of man, who was keeping cool,
taking in the situation calmly, and doing the
very best lac could. We still think So He is a
good enough man to find the road out of the

SOME EFEEcTs OF IT.-Now that a reward of
$4,000 has been offered for the apprehension of
the Missouri train robbers, we expect to see a
good deal of shooting wide of the mark. The
bait is so tempting that more than one innocent
man will be arrested; sharp detectives will
work up cases against men who had no connec-
tion with it and perhaps lives will be lost in
the attempt to fasten the crime where it does
not belong. In the meantime, the robbers will
escape, to lay their plans for robbery in anoth-
or part of the country.

~ ST. John now talks glibly of enforcing
the liquor law with the musket. The fact that
he suggests this means Of last resort, is the
strongest proof in the world that the law is not

LY- The Central State says that Highland used
TO lie a Republican stronghold, but that the
Presbyterians established a college there, and
are rapidly changing the politics to Democratic.
Is this fiattery pleasing to the Republican Pres
byterians about Highland How far it is true,
we do not know; but we do know that large
number of Republicans of that precinct habitu-
ally find excuse for opposing regular Republi-
can tickets. We have known them to give
large majorities for Democrats who were con-
firmed sots, rather than vote for a Republican
who drank, but was not n drunkard. But We
do not think the college is the cause of it; the
trouble is, that few active workers have got
the sOre-head awful badly, and make it a point
to oppose every regular Republican ticket. But
if the advice and example of some of the leading
men of the college were followed, Highland
would always be at the mercy of the Democrats.

Prof. Chip Thompson, the great wire

years, expects to walk over Niagara
about the middle of July. lie will cross
the falls from the Prospect park to the
Canada side, about 600 feet from the
bridge. He will use wire one and one
eighth inch in diameter, the smallest
ever stretched across the river. His
balancing apparatus will be what he
calls the eerial eclipse. It is something
new, and consists of carriage run on
two wheels, ten inches in diameter.
There are also two other wheels seven
inches In diameter, as safeguard when
he releases the parachute. The machine
has two shields in which run the axles of
the wheels mentioned. The shields are
American and British respectively and
are eight feet high and six feet broad.
Twenty.six inches Of space intervene be-
tween them. Suspended from them is a
parachute made Of heavy cloth, fourteen
feet in diameter, and having eighteen
ribs. To each rib there will be attached
flag of some nation. Small ropes,
similar to those used on balloons, SUPPORT

trapeze on which Prof. Thompson's

An Artists Bull.

One of the legacies left Philadelphia
by. the Centennial exhibition is the
colossal granite statue of soldier now
standing in front of Memorial hall. It
is believed to have been placed there by
granite company in order to exhibit
the quality of stone contained in the
quarry. But it has always been mat
ter of amazement why it was not removed
at the close of the celebration or a for
NAL gift of it made to the city. A local
paper enlightens the public on this point
by the following explanation: Although
the granite is splendid specimen of
stone, the figure has serious defect. It
represent soldier at parade rest; yet the
artist has put the right foot forward in
stead of the left. This destroys the
value of the statue as a work of art, and
it has therefore been abandoned by the
owners. Only a soldier, however, will
notice the defect, and it is a source of
regret that it is so marred.
