Electric Bolt.

During the storm yesterday afternoon
an unusually bright fash OF lightning fol-
lowed by deafening peal OF thunder in
rapid succession gave evidence of an uncOm-
fortably close proximity to the subtle and
destructive fluid. An investigation discOv-
cred that it was in East Sedalia and that
the house OF Owen Brown, corner of Sixth
and Engineer streets, had been struck and
partially demolished, the bolt knocking
down the kitchen Aue and tearing out the
gable end of the kitchen, and some ten or
more feet of shingles. Little or no dam
age was done to the building on the inside.
Mrs. Brown was in an adjoining room,
whence she had just gone from the kitchen,
scarce a moment before and thus, DO
doubt, escaped severe injury.

whom he became enamoured. See went

DIR. King furnishes the BAZOO the fol-
lowing statement of Prouse's wound:
The knife entered al the inner border OF
the mastoid muscle on the left side, pene-
trating very deep. 1t was then carried
directly across to the same point on the OPP
posite side. All Of The structures of the
anterior part of the neck were cut, includ-
ing the internal and external jugular
veins of the left side, the external jugular
of the right and the superior thyroid ar
terry. The larynx was laid bare from side
To side and would have been
cut, had il not rolled under the dull knife.
The cut was first seven inches long by
actual measurement. After all the bleed
ing vessels had been secured and the
wound closed, hemOrrage again broke out
The doctors opened the wound and found
that there had been a clot in the internal
jugular vein, which the circulation had
pushed out when the reaction came up.

Died.

The death of l.. J. White occurred at
his residence, at the corner of Third and
Kentucky streets at about 10 o'clock, after
a severe and protracted illness of some five
weeks. The immediate cause of death
arose from impaired indigestion and long
continued overwork.
The deceased was forty three years OF
age, and member of the Baptist church.
He was no less remarkable for his great
industry than for his sobriety and honesty.
Mr.. White was carpenter by trade, and
was we'll known for his pains,asing atten-
ton to his business.
He leaves a wife and one child to mourn
his untimely taking away.
Thus early bereft of the cares and pro-
lection of a kind father and husband,
ere the labors of life had wrought a COM
potency against the memorable DEGREES of
fate, il can but add care 10 the deep grief
that to-day settles like dark pail over

There is no relic of the far away
past that awakens more interest or
revives more "reminiscences than an
old newspaper. A file of them reach

ments, notices, ETC., gives record of
the growth and changes which is found
no where else. The memory Of the
oldest inhabitant, be his recollection
never SO good, his tongue never so
glib, fails almost utterly as true
narrator of events before the indes-
tructible printers ink, which does not
throw the glamour of Fiction over the
events, nor "draw on the imagination
efor its facts" Names and tenants Of
unmarked graves may be forgotten,
but the faithful newspaper keeps the
record and cheats oblivion. Political
and official changes, the sentiments of
parties, and the questions at issue each
year between them, are all found here,
and no history is SO complete as that
which a file Of newspapers contains
whose editors have filed their positions
as they should during the years of their
publication. But few persons, it is
true, keep the papers Of their own
county, and yet when one finds an issue
of many years ago he prizes it like an
old friend, and as he peruses it, lives
over again the past which for years
has been blank The old paper peoples
again the vacuity, and as age delights
to remember, it affords untold pleasure.

HER LAST POSY.

In the rarest of English valleys
A motherless girl ran Wild
And the greennesss and silence and gladness
Were soul of the soul of the child.
The birds were her gay little brothers,
The squirrels her sweetbearts shy;
And her heart kept tune with the rain-drops,
And sailed with the clouds i'm the sky.
And angels kept coming and going,
With beautiful things to do;
And wherever they left n footprint
A cOwslip or primrose grew.
She WAS taken to live in London,
So thick with pitiless folk,
And she could not smile for its badness,
And could not breathe for its smoke.
And now, as she lay on her pallet,
Too weary and weak to rise,
smile of ineffable longing
Brought dews to her faded eyes:
"Oh me, for yellow cowslip
pale little primrose dCarl
Won't some Kind angel remember,
And pluck one and bring IL hereP"
They bought her a bunch OF cowslips;
She took them with fingers weak,
And kissed them, and stroked them, and loved
them,
And laid them against her cheek.
ut was kind of the angels to send them,
And, now, I'm too tired to pray.
II God looks down at the cowslips,
He'll know what lwant to say"
They buried them i'm her bosom,
And when she shall wake and rise,
Why may not the flowers he quickened,
And bloom in her happy skies2

Catching n Crab.

A San Francisco correspondent
writes: They tell story Of would-be
funny broker, who last season adopted
most fiendish method of getting even
with one of the chronic flirts who are
said to make the piazzas here lively later
in the season. He obtained half dozen
energetic crabs from the fishing beach,

no one was in particular tank, except

blood curdling shrek, and was helped
up the ladder with crab hanging on
her pink little toe. She had several
consecutive epileptic fits while the ma
rine corn doctor was being removed.
The Mephistophelean glee OF the broker,
however, gave him away, and for fear
of some counter trick he decided to battle
early in the morning thereafter. A few
days after that the bath-house keeper
was startled by some terrific yells, and,
hastily entering the tank house, he
beheld the broker floundering out with
big, jagged-toothed spring rat-tral
clenched on his heel.
