Kansas City and Memphis.

The Kansas City and Memphis rail-
road is one of the most important of all
the enterprises which contribute to the
growth and prosperity of This city. 1t
passes through Southwest Missouri,
opening up a country which is rich in
coal, lead and timber, but the develop
ment of which has been slow, on ac-
connt OF lack of transportation facili-
ties. 1t is an excellent agricultural and
stock growing country, and ever since
it was settled that railroad should be
built between Kansas City and Mem
phis, immigration has been flowing in
at rapid rate, and large tracts offand
have been purchased on which Eng
lish, Scotch and Irish colonies are
being settled.
The entire length of the railway will
be 460 miles. The road is complete
and III opperation from here to Spring
field, a distance of 200 miles, which
brings us in direct communication
with all the important towns of the
Southwest, and from which we are al
ready receiving a considerable trade.
a contract for seventy-five miles of
grading from Springfield south, has
been awarded, and fifty miles more
will propably be let this week. The
whole line Will be completed and daily
trains will be running between here
aud Memphis by June, 1883. Col
NettletOn has just returned from trip
over the entire line. He is more than
delighted with the country, and is es-
pecially enthusiastic over the magnifi-
cent timber lands through which the
line runs for many miles between
Springfield and Memphis. It is fact
that this road once in operation, this
maket may be supplied with the
choicest Of lumber from Southwest
Missouri and Arkansas, cheaper than
it can be brought from the lumber re-
giOns of the North. 1t win also enable
Kansas City dealers to supply a large
portion of the Southern country with
meat and flour. 1t will be the quick
est route fer all this Northwest region
to Memphis, New Orleans. and all the
prominent cities of the South, and
must at once become the favorite ono.

THAT staid and grave old journal,
the st. Louis Republican, can gener-
ally be relied upon as a safe guide in
the discussion of all questions relating
to morals, and to social science in gem
eral. A very able article on 'Manias
and Maniacs," appeared in that paper
of Thursday morning. 1t is so APP
propos that the SENTINEL feels like
appropriating IL entire: "There is a
very delicate distinction made" says
the Republican, between shop-lifting
and kleptomania. The line drawn is
30 fine that il capnot be seen ivy the
naked eye Of the law, and is visible
only TO a sentiment that habitually
attaches respectabiliiy to dollars and
cents, and houses and lands and in
coming rents. There are doubtless
people who cannot help stealing what
ever they can lay their hands on,
whether they want the stealings or
not just as there are people who can
not help killing the first man they
matchmaking All men thelr meat.
The first class are called klept6man-
iacs and the latter raving maniacs.
The kleptomaniacs are permitted to
go about the streets and into the
stores and do their peculiar kind of
shopping at win, if they don't get
caught-aHd sometimes when they
are caught the considerate shopmen
lot them go-minus the booty-and
decline to prosecute.
The raving maniac is bolted in a
prison ana chained in dungeon, be-
cause he is dangerous character to
be at liberty. That settles his case
and society is protected against his
mania for slaughter. But in major
ity of cases that come TO light, the
kleptomaniac is allowed to 30 free,
and tradesmen and society are Obliged
10 protect themselves as best thev car
against the emotional pilfering habit

suffer thus, and the abuse comes from

ATTEMPT OF LARGE SPECIMEN TO CAR

Recenily-say last Thursday - an

This event would have passed by

in an adjoining field, of two Of Mr..
Graves children, a girl of four years
and a boy of twelve. The feathered
floster, on sinister design bent, made a
sOrtie toward the little girl, but was
driven off by the brother, who bravelv
welded a stout stick. Taking advan-
tage of the evenings fight, the lad
went into the house and returned with
a rife, just in time to witness prepara-
tions for a second assault. A prompt
use Of the rifle brought the erial
tramp to the ground with 3 crippled

as it futtered on the ground was the
difference of a pinion.

the two views taken of the same thing
the legal AMI the sentimental view.
A woman either fashily or meanly
dressed is caught in a store hiding
goods about her person without the
usual forms of business with tho clerk
or cashier. She proves to be of de-
graded class, or may be very poor
stealing for bread. There is no doubt
in her case; she is sent to Jail as a
shop litter. No plea of kleptomaniac
can excuse or compound her crime.
she is sent where she can trespass up
on property and abuse society 10
more. No sentiment can plead an
emotional case Of kl9ptomaniac for
her. The law condemns her as acom-
mon thief, and she suffers the penalty
of the malefactor.
But there is another kind of woman
who takes other peoples things by
stealth and bushes when she is
caught. She is rich and therefore
does not need to steal. She simply
can't help 1t; it's a mania. Sometimes
her husband, If she have one, leaves
orders with his traGcsmen to watch
her when she visits their shops, let
her take what she wants and send the
bill to him. She is good customer,
and is permitted to have her swing at
things. But she may visit other
stores, where she is not known; what
happens then? Well, if she is caught,
money bushes the matter up. She is
only a kleptomaniac. The late Twem-
tieth street case in this city IS a rich
widow. Her son pleaded her cause.
She owns houses and all worth $40,-
0O0-and has on her person stolen
lace, towels and stockings, and a GER
tifcate of deposit on the Boatmea' 5
Saving bank for $500 Proofs that
she is only a kleptomaniac, and she is
set free.
Now the raving maniac, when
caught and chained, is well taken care
Of The law is supposed to protect
property as well as life, and if the
kIeptomaniac. after due inquiry and
process of law, is adjudged to be not
criminal, but crazy, this now privi-
legged maniac ought to be put in a
comfortable asylum, out of the reach
of other peoples property. No senti-
ment should be allowed TO imperil
public safety and that security of
rights which wcll-ordered society de-
mamds. The whole emotional ire
spOnsibility business with Guiteau on
the counlry's hands, is about at the
end ofits rope, and the telling is grow
ing that there are a great many luna
tic scoundrels about who ought to be
at the end Of theirs.

The South and Mexican Trade.

NewOrleans has her commercial eyes
fixed on Mexico, and this is not with
out fair results. That city sold $685.,
600 of the 100000 worth imported by
Mexico through the port of MatamOr-
as in 1870, and of the 81, 100000 re-
ceived at Matamoras during the year
1880 from the United States New Or
leans merchants sold $723,645 worth.
A line of steamers run all the time to
MatamOras from New Orleans conse-
quently the trade is large and grow
ing year by year. Two lines to Vera
Cruz are established and making trips
regularly. The Morgan Company
dispatch direct. The Cromwell Line
make several ports along the upper
Gulf coast of Mexico before reaching
Vera Cruz. Each of these has rich
and populOus country back of it.
Tampico port is the entrance port for
Southern Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi
and much of the State of Zacatecas.
New Orleans merchants are now tFav-
ersing all parts Of Mexico and are ex-
hibiting an enterprise which is well
worthy of success.

A Terrible TarnntuIa.

Oliver c. Waddell, who recently re-
moved to Arkansas from Texas, set
Ting along White river, III Stone
county, was bitten by a tarantula. He
was on a hunting expedition in the
mountains, and had camped under a
large pine tree. Some time during the
night the insect crawled in between
the blankets which inveloped him
as he lay before the fire, and bit him
twice, once on the finger and again on
the arm, near the elbow. He was
awakened by stinging sensation in
that part of the body, and rOusing
himself, discovered the cause and suc7
ceeded in killing the tarantula. 1t
was as large as the hand of an ordinary
man. Waddell's hand and arm began
to swell rapidly, and before he could
get to I he nearest house, some our OF
five miles away, the poison had spread,
apparently, 10 all parts of his body.
1t was some time before he could get
medical skill, and when the physician
arrived Waddell was found to beyond
hope. He fingered some time, how
ever, dying in the afternoon. The
case was a singular one, from the fact
that it proves that the tarantula is ca
pable Of inhicting death wound.

The Indian Nations.

a letter was received at Little Rock
from the Choctaw Nation. 1t repre-
sents considerable feeling existing in
that portion of the Indian country in
reference TO the recent passage by the
Choctaw Council of a bill granting
the right of way through the Nation
to the st. Louis & San Francisco rail-
road. The bill was passed by a slim
majority, and after bitter debate. No
other business OF general interest was
transacted. The Council has adjourn-
ed, leaving many impOrtanC public
measures unfinished. It is claimed
that a majority OF the Indians do not
relish the act IN relation the railway,
but it seems they can do nothing. The
railroad had agents in the field, and
worked up their interests among the
members long before the Council con-
vened.
Work will commence on the pro-
posed road shortly, and, as many
leading Choctaws assert, the first step
in the final dismemberment of the
whole Indian country will have been
taken.
AMONG THE CHEROKEEs AND CREEKS.
A bitter fight is now in progress in
the Cherokee and Greek Nations re-
garding the passage of similar bill
in their respective Councils, granting
the right of way to jay GOuld's pro-
jected road. The impression is that
the bill will pass. The Cherokees have
steadily resisted every encroachment
made by the whites, though that tribe
is by far the most progressive and en-
lightened in the Nation. 1t remains
to be seen what action they will take
in regard 10 the proposed railroad.
The road passes only six miles in the
Greek territory, but it is said they
join with the mass of the Cherokees in
fighting the grant.
