AT REST.


Lay him to sleep, whon.-we have learned
to love;
Lay him to sleep, whom we have
learned to trust.
No blossom Of hope shall spripg from
out his dust.
No flower of faith shall bloom his sod
above.
Although the sod by sorrowful hands be
drest,
Although the dust with tapderesi
tears be drenched,
A feebler light succeeds the new light
quenched.
And weaker hands the strong hands eros
sed in rest.
Our new, our untried leader-when he
rose.
Though still old hatreds fed upon old
grief,
Death Or disgrace has still the cry Of
chiefs
OF old who rallied us against our foes.
A soldier Of the camp, we knew him thus:
No sanity champion, high above his
kind,
To follow with devotion mad and
blind
He fought and Jared, essayed and erred,
with US.
And SO, halfhearted, went we where he
led;
And, following whittier beckoned his
bright blade,
Learned his high will and purpose
undismayed;
And brought him all our faith-and found
him dead.
Is Of the sacred pail that once Of yore
Draped Lincoln dead, one shoulder
ing fragments left?
Spread it above him--Knight whose
helm was cleft
Fair in the fight, as his who fell before.
As his who fell before, his seat we dress
With pitiful shreds of black, that flow

Upon the bosom of the breeze. whose

Prays us respect that hallowed emptiness.

The editor of a Republican paper
at Lexington, Mo-, says of A. A.
Lesuer, of the Democratic paper:
"Of course Mr.. Lesuer would deny
that the James boys were near this
city. All their friends and allies will
do the same thing"
Mr.. Lesuer promptly replied:
$50 far as the above refers to me
il is an unprovoked and unmitigatcd
lie, written by a miserable, cowardly,
boot-licking little puppy, who was
but recently branded by Mr.. John
T'aubman, a prominent member of
his own party in this city, as "a
scoundrel and puppy"
Mr.. Lesuer also extended his arti-
Gle to some length all to the same
point. No man that knows the Hon.
A. A. Lesuer could accuse him of
taking the part of such men rs the
James boys. The Democrats of this
State are getting tired Of being ac-
cused of harboring train robbers.

it was stopped. An infinite amount

S~ickle-Grinders Ground.

~ : 81
The sickle-grinders have at last
found a man who needed no grind
ing, as the following from the Mont
gomery Standard will show: i..;
"The sickle-grindar fraud visited
John e. Cope, near Prices Branch.
a few days ago, and upon the repre-
sensations of the oily-tengued swim
dier, agreed to allow a half dozen
grinders to be left at his house, the
agent to deliver them. Mr.. Cope
(who reads the papers) compelled
the agent to give him a written copy
of the agreement. When the order
was shipped it was found that instead
of six grinders there were thirty-six,
the bill amounting to 1925. MI. Cope
refused to take the goods from the
depot, and when the collecting agent
came after his money and presented
the order, which had been carefully
changed, and in such manner as to
materially differ with the duplicate of
it in Mr.. C.'s possession, he quietly
folded it up and stuck it in his pocket.
The agent demanded the return of the
order Immediately and threatened to
move upon Mr.. C.'s works instanter.
But by the aid of a drawn chair the
agent simmered and left. This will
probably be the end of the matter.
Mr.. Cope is In possession of the orig
inal order and its duplicate, and will
hold them."

H. D.. Hunter.


Among the many new buildings
being erected in Mexico, none are
more handsomely Or substantially
built than those over which H. D..
Hunter has the supervision. He
is one of the most reliable and COM
petent contractors in Missouri, as
his work shows. Mr.. Hunter is now
building several store rooms on the
square, among which are Harper &
Turner's new buildings. He is
making arrangements to remodel the
Joe and Vic Barth building, and will
make it one of the handsomest in the
city. Among the dwelling houses he
has just built is MI. j. F. Llewellyn's
in North Mexico, which is a perfect
model in architecture. 1t is finished
on the inside in Eastlake style.
There is a transom over each window
filled with neatly shaped cut stained
glass. 1t is one of the neatest, hand
Asomest and cosiest houses we ever
saw. The architecture in Mexico is
yearly growing better. A better
class of residences and stores are
being built. Much Of this work is
due to Mr.. Hunter, who takes pride
in all the work he does.

FROM EUREKA SPRINGS.
Correspondence of the Mexico Ledger.

Correspondence of the Mexico Ledger.
EUREKA SPRINGS, ARK Aug. l.
My lady and L started from Mexico
on the 25th of July, stopped at ST.
Louis three days, and from there we
came to this place, by way of Spring
field and Pierce City, there changed
cars to Seligman, and from there we
took the stage line to Trinidad, over
twenty miles of as rough roads as l
ever saw in the West. We went
down a slough or divide between two
rocky cliffs or range of mountains,
crossing over White river. In high
water they have to cross on a ferry.
We also crossed Leatherwood creek
twenty-seven times in seven miles.
This stream is made up Of those ia
nous springs. W. arrived at Eureka
about 8 p. M, which gives everyone
coming here plenty of time to hunt a
good hotel or boarding house. Near
ly every house in the city is either a
hotel or a boarding house. After we
we're quartered in our new but neat
place, We then set out for the
wonderful Eureka Basin Springs,
where we found they ran in two
streams, q in a basin the shape Of
our earthen wash basins, only a little
deeper-undoubtedly hacked out by
the Indians in an early day-the
other vein runs through a spout or
trough. The springs flow out through
the creases of a mountain rock sev-
eral hundred feet high. A few feet
above the springs is the hole in the
rock where DR.. Jackson's dogs killed
the panther that led to the discovery
of the Eureka Springs, and this
wonderful basin which has cured
thousands Of the worst cases you
ever heard of. 1t has cured the
blind, the lame, the halt, cancers
and almost everything else. Persons
come here who cannot set up-scarce-
ly lay in bed-and in--ive days time
they a walk one-half mile to the
spring. There are several ladies
stopping at this house who told US
that they could not get about when
they came here, and in one week
could walk through mud or dust one
half mile. The streets here are very
narrow-from 8 to 10 feet, cut out of
the side of the mountain and through
solid rock there is nothing else here
but rock and gravel. The houses are
built ON stills one side will be four
story, the other two and sometimes
only one story in height. In some
instances people in one house, throw
ing water out their back door, will
throw it in the front door of his neigh
Dor below There is one four-story
house here that rents for $500 per
month, that is completed nicely on
the inside and occupied, and now
they are building the brick walls on
the outside-a thing that was never
heard of before. Paint is almost I'M
known IN Eureka. Houses built in
every style and shape on earth; no
plastcring. In fact, this is a queer
place, and all sorts of people here
from every State in the Union-even
from London, England. No school
houses, a few church buildings, opera
hall, &c. In going to the post-office,
you will have to fall in line and take
your urn the same as others. | see
that it helps SO many thousands of
people who come here and drink this
water, l cannot help but think there
is something in it. l see a great
many here from Mexico, and some
are in business and dong we'll.
