There are only two or three people
now living who can successfully shake
hands. There is good deal of hand
shaking done throughout the country,
especially at this season of the year,
but only small per cent. of the
shakers and shakees know how to do
it so as to get the entire amount of
exhilaration out of it. Some grab
the hand of an adversary in quick,
nervous manner that scares the victim
nearly to death, while others slide
the cold and clammy paw at you so
that you feel the same as when you
drop cold raw oyster with vinegar
on down your back. If you are
shaking hands with lady incline
your head forward with a soft and
graceful yet half timld movement,
like boy climbing barbed wire
fence with fifty pound watermelon.
Look gently in her eyes with a kind
of pleading smile, beam on her fca-
lures a bright and winsome beam, say
something that you have heard some
one else say on similar occasions, and,
in the meantime, shake her hand in a
subdued yet vigorous way, not as
though you were trying to make a
mash by pulverizing her fingers nor
yet in too conservative q manner, al.
lowing her hand to fall with sicken-
ing thud when you let 60. Care
should be taken also not to hang or
to the hand more than half an hou,
in public, as bystanders might make
remarks. This is now considered
quite outre and mandamus.

The New Baptist Minister.

Sometime ago the Rev. J. e. Arm
strong, for many years pastor of the
Garrison Avenue Baptist church, re-
ceived very flattering call to the
pastorate of the Baptist church at
Mexico, Mo. The reverend divine
took the call under advisement, and
last week sent word to the trustees
of the church that he had accepted
their call. DR.. Armstrong has been
great favorite with his congresa-
ton, and his loss will be a severe
blow to them. He has also filled the
position of associate editor of the
Central Baptist, and in his latter po-
sition here made host of friends all
over the city. To be preacher and
Journalist at one and the same time
is to occupy peculiar position, and
one not calculated to establish friends
and admirers. DR.. Armstrong has
always filled both positions with cred
it, and when he takes his final leave
from the city he will part from cir
Gle of friends, not only large but one
that he can feel justly proud of. He
does not expect to leave the city until
next spring, probably not until the
month of May, as he is at present
managing editor of the Central Bap-
tist during the absence in Colorado
of Rev. VIM. Ferguson, His con-
gregation he will part from at an ear
ly date, as he has engaged himself to
supply the pulpit at the church in
Mexico for the next few months. He
will run up to Mexico every Satur-
day evening, returning on Monday
morning.-St. Louis Republican.
We congratulate the Baptist church
of this city on their success ia Sc
curing such fine pastor.

pie are pointed cut as sample Cen
tiles. The most eloquent sermon the
preacher eyer heard John Taylor de-
liver was on the subject of "The
Corrupting Influence of the Cen
tiles" It was a sermon that would
almost have moved an Eastern au-
dience, and, said the preacher, "the
worst Of it was that the basis of it
was partly true"
Finally, Mr.. Spencer read letter
he had received from a Mrs. Nc
Pherson in one of these mining viii
lagos Of Utah, asking to have a mis-
sionary sent out there. She wrote
that in seven years there had been
but five religious services in her
town. She said she would raise
$500 for a missionary if he would
come. She know the discomforts
there, and appreciated what sacrifice
an Eastern man must make in COM
ing there, but added, eff anybody
wants to work for God there's plenty
here for him to do" She is en-
deavoring to maintain a Sunday
school there, where the preacher says
the women swear and talk like the
men.

On Monday evening as the train
was coming from Mexico to Fulton,
and was skeedaddling at a lively rate
down the grade that leads to the high
bridge over the Auxvasse, one of the
freight cars got off the track. Before
the engineer found out what was the
matter and stopped, the train had
run clear across the bridge, the
wheels off the track cutting the ties
badly and jerking things loose. For.
tunately no other damage was done.
The train was delayed about two
hours. This was narrow escape.
Had the train gone over the side o1
the bridge, probably not passenger
would have been left to tell the tale
As this is one of the best paying little
roads under the control of the G. &
A. R. R., we think they ought not te
run mixed freight and passenger
ins.-Callaway Gazette.

Leroy, who murdered Gold while
travelling in railroad car in England,
recently suffered the extreme penalty
of the law therefor. The defense set
up at his trial was constitutional in
sanity, and presented points similar
to those raised in Guiteau's case al
Washington. Experts declared on
oath that Leroy's demesnor in court
indicated insanity. Many that knew
him said he was an extreme egotist,
and was constantly doing things that
no sane man would undertake under
similar circumstances. Hereditary
insanity was imputed to his family,
and idiocy was sought to be estab-
lished by his not attempting to es-
cape after the killing was accomplish
ed. 1t could not be shown that the
murder was committed for robbery.
The prisoner had no property upon
his person but the watch of the slain,
which was the last thing, it was ar
gued, a sane man would have taken,
His recently redeemed pistol estab.
lished no intention of killing Gold,
and really had no greater significance
than the act of pawning it. From all
that could be found out Leroy might
have been suddenly and Unexpectedly
overcome by his hereditary insanity,
and seized with adesire to kill the mar
in the same box with himself. Blu
unfortunately for Leroy his Englisl
judge did not allow him to act ir
court up to the insanity theory of his
counsel. Had his trial taken plac,
in America, or the District, it nigh,
have been otherwise, and he might
have escaped death penalty; bu
mere delusion will not do for defense
in Great Britain, and as Leroy
counsel could not show that when b.
killed Gold he did not know that b.
was committing an unlawful act, b.
was publicly executed.

Guiteau's testimony, taken as a
whole, shows that he has some very
queer ideas-perhaps even more than
the average O., mankind. Yet on
some points regarding which there is
some difference of opinion he has
unusually sound views, very vigor-
ously expressed. The points on which
he holds ultra and queer opinions
or. as he would express it, cranky
opinions-are mostly connected with
spiritual and theological matters, re.
garding which men are apt to get odd
notions, because they are lot usually
capable of demonstration, like prob
lens IN arithmetic, or like questions
connected with visible and tangible
things. Still, the amount of shrewd'
ness Guiteau has manifested in his
own testimony, no less than in hi:
comments on the testimony of others
| is remarkable. Considering the dis
advantage of his present position, a!
compared with Judge Porter's, he
certainly holds his own, in the cross
examination, with abiIity.-N. Y
