A PLEASANT LETTER FROM JET
FERSON,
JErrERsoN CITY, january %, ls

- JEFFERSON CITY, january 2S, 1881.
EDITOR INTELLI0RNcER Jefferson City is all
agog ut present over the appropriation bill. as
passed by the senate. OF course you have seen
the bill before this. 1t sIs considered here in
various lights: some think 1t too high, others
think 1t too low. These estimates of different
parties depend very much upon the localities OF
the critics. The gentlemen who are fortunate
enough to live in Warrensburg think they hardly
get enough Of the ''root OF many eylls'' as an
adjunct to their school iund; OF course Kinks
vile, Cape Girardsau and ,Rolla, with Lincoln
Institute as the last. but MT least, think like
wise as to their respective claims. I shall not
be surprised if we have quite a lively discussion
when the committee on ways and means make
their report on appropriations to the house.
Some eI us from your county are looking ahead
the best we can. We do not expect always to
vote and speak correctly, but when We err it
will be from miguided Judgment and not from a
wrong purpose. 1t is quite difficult for a novice
in legislation to always know just what meas
ures are me best to check that which he con-
celves to be unjust and unwise, and necess arily
injurious. But wherever we conceive the right
to be you shall hear from Us. Governor Crit
tenden Is certainly Q most excellent gentleman,
and he IL fast adding to his already large list OF
friends, OF course he could not give satisfac-.
ton to the friends Of all the aspirants for Office,
but we believe he did ihat which he conceived
for the best, He certainly wished to favor our
county In one appointment. which. for reasons
known only to him, he was kent from do ing. I
feel confident that he will ali. with credit 10
himself and honor to the state. the position SO
well filled by Gov. Phelps. Mr.. Editor, we are

We remember when q youth marching
over the pralries of Lafayette county, a
soldier in a fratrieidal war. Blood aud
carnage. suffering and death, disease
and public debt, were then all behind
the hot bloeded glamour Of chivalry and
youth. There was sentiment and pstri-
otism to nerve the arm and strengthen
the heart-thers was the call OF duty
and the bswitching smile of beauty. It
comes to us sometimes a. . picture. that
dream of boyhood-how. in the pleasant
May-day, trudgiug along under the
weight of a musket and a roll of blank
cts, the green carpets Of wheat and
hemp, the checkered fields of corn, the
soft meadows, with here and there the
mellow brown OF the sumac, swellsd our
heart to love for our native Missouri.
God bless her; we love her still; and
she is worthy to be loved. She has her
traducers. as who has mott She contains
the bad with the good but whore are
bluer skies. a more genial climate, q
more generous soil, or . better peoplel
II beauty in nature is desired, where can
a fairer scsne be laid than may be seen
upon a summer or an autumn day from
any Of our hill tops! An empire within
herself, her sturdy som and virtuous
daughters have received q heritage
which they should learn to value as it
deserves-a home in one OF the favored
spots Of nature.

At the close of a cool October, November set
In with early manifestations of genuine winter
weather. The temperature rose to 62 degrees on
the I'd, not to reach this point sgain during No.
vember. December and the larger hall Of Jan,
The first very low temperature occurred on the
18th, when - s was noted. Then we had 50 on
the 18th; 81 on the 2lst, 4s on the 22d. g. on the
25th, 10e Oh the 9th and 90 on the Goth. Zero
was not reached during the month, but the mean
temperature sank to 81 ., which has not been
experienced here for many years. The river
was filed with floating ice on the 18th,
r. DECEMBER:
December gave us six days below zero; 10
below on the 9Th. and go, 81, 1Se. g. and 50 below
respectively on the 9th, 2sth, 29th ,3Oth and 3lst.
The temperature remained below zero through
out the entire day OF the 9Th, 2sth and 29th. The
river closed the night Of the 18th.
The mean temperature Of the month was ex-
c%essively low, being 2lo. Z, but this was the mean
temperature of December 1875, and.lower mean
temperature has been observed.
The cold observed on the morning of the 2eth.
lsa below Zero, is believed TO be sufficient to
destroy the blossom buds of the peach.
The highest temperature WAS $40 on the lth,

Thus far we have had no diminution in the
severity OF the weather. The thermometer was
81 below zero on the Srd, 80 S below on the 7th;

The south is said to be ilhterate, unciv-
ilized, barbarous. Somehow, In looking
over the papers, We find most Of the
fiendish crimes north of Mason & Dix
on's line. 1t is only the other day that
the story came of a brutal murder Of
three persons in Pennsylvania, and the
lynching Of the murderer. Then there
was the horrible crime, in a northern
city, of a poor, fallen woman, who. 60
ing irem bar to bar, finally fell to the
floor in one OF these gateways to hell,
and, while lying there. was repeatedly
outraged by men and boys. until it was
found that she was a corpse. Then from
up in Michigan, came another terrible
story. At Lapeer. a village 20 miles
north of Detroit, a few evenings age,
while the people were at church, q Mrs.
Barnard went to the house OF Rev. E.
Curtis. a Baptist preacher. attacked his
wife, an old lady aged IS, threw her
down, poured gasoline over her cloth
ing, and set it on fire. The poor woman
was SO shockingly burned that she lived
but a few hours. There 10 no Beecher
in the south ne ConkIlng, and no H.
gsrsoll. We do not ave- that the north
is uncivIlized, ba%rbarous, unchristian ;
that It a%pplauds adultery and approves
infidelitv . hit until its record bears ma
such stains as we have pointed out. 1t
should. at least, be charitable to its
weaker, though fully ss virtuous and
patriotic, sister.
