GladStOne's Intensity

Mr.. Gladstone is man who. having
once put his hand to the pillow. not
only will not look back, but frequently
disdains to glance to the right or left
also. Although one of the greatest men
this country has ever produced-a
inancier of consummate ability, states
man of rare parts, and patriot of un-
blemished renown-he somehow lacks
that genial sdvoir .fdire which drew all
men to such leaders as Lord Beaconsfield
and Lord Palmerston. AS lively French
friend of mine remarked, "I can not
understand your Mr.. Gladstone; he is SO
terribly in earnest" The Premier's ends
are always good ends, but he is so "ter-
ribly in earnest" about reaching his
objects that he is apt to overlook not SO
much the principal means of obtaining
them as the small details, which, though
individually insignificant, are frequently
collectively of the utmost assistance to
statesmen and statecraft.
Mr.. Gladstone belongs to the Church
OF England, and is fond of fine ritual:
but there is good deal of the old austere
Puritan spirit in his composition. Unlike
Palmerston, doubt il he ever made a
political convert from the enemies ranks.
and is inclined to despise those small
social amenities outside the walls of st.
Stephens which so often facilitate bust
ness within.-London Correspondence

lowed IN prayer, after which the hymn,
"Where shall rest be found?" was sung. The
Rev. j. NJ. Martin followed with the funeral

The BODY Of the Freebooter Turned
Over to the Relatives.

ST. JOSEPH, No., April 6.
The body Of Jesse James was shipped from
this city yesterday evening in custody OF Mar
shall Craig. Of this city, and the family OF the
dead desperate, consisting of l.. w. James,
cousin Of Jesse, r. T. Mimms, the widows
brother. Mrs. James, Mrs. Samuels and the
two children. 1t was taken to Kearney, Clay
county, NO., and buried on the James homo
stead. There has been considerable of
a wranglo over the remains between
A. H. Craig Police Commissioner Of
Kansas City, Sheriff Undertake, Of Clay
county, and the local authorities, who insisted
upon seeing the body placed in the keeping Of
the relatives instead Of being taken to Kansas
City. The body was officially turned over to
Mrs James by Coroner Heddens on an order
from the Grand Jury Of Buchanan county and
the dispatch OF Gov. Crittenden. The jam on
the depot platform, as the relatives stepped
from their conveyance TO take the train was
tremendous. Mrs. Samuels was the most con-
spicuous parsonage in the throng. She insisted
on having an official escort from the CITY, fear
ing that an attempt would be made to take the
body from the train at Kansas City. TheFord boys
are close prisoners at the county jail, and when
interviewed this morning they betrayed a nerv-
GUS anxiety about their fate Up to within
twelve hours ago they did not seem to realize
the gravity of their situation, but to-day Robert
confessed to reporter that If he had known
that he would be thrown into q dlngy cell ne
would not have killed Jesse. TIE arms and
jewelry found in the outlaws home are i'll the
hands Of the police, who refuse to surrender
them until the question Of their ownership has
been fully determined. The households effects
will be sold to the highest bidder.
Capt. L. ford, brother of Robert and
Charles, arrived here yesterday. In an inter-
view he said 81 have been in this thing since
last fall, and tried for several months to get
Charley and Bob into it. Jesse has said that il
any of Us went back on him he would Kill rs.
We thought he was after us, and for that rea-
son went into it. l knew the boys had him To-
Gated, but l did not know just whore they
were. IL was only question OF who should
shoot first, Jessie or us. We tried to get him
to our house, and he did come there twice, but
/ was lot at home either time, and nothing
was done. know where Frank James IL, but
don't propose to tell, just now at least. He is
somewhere East. Frank will revenge Jesses
death, and somebody connected with the affair
will undoubtedly be killed. This matter is not
yet ended"

pears ON the Scene.
A st. Joseph telegram Of the 9Th inst, says:
"The mother Of Jesse James reached here
yesterday, and had An Affecting meeting with
the widow and children Of the bandit After
viewing the corpse with streaming eyes, she
was taken to the Coroner's inquest III.
II. Craig, Police Commissioner of Kan
sas City, testified that Robert Ford
acted under his Instruction. but
Charles was not commissioned. The Jury
held Robert Ford for killing Jesse James, and
charged Charles with completely. Mrs. Samuels.
the mother of the outlaw, created a sensation
by vigorous denunciation Of Dick Little az q
traitor. The remains will be handed over TO
her for interment. Robert FoFd engaged a.

gang now on trial at Independence, No., saws
that the Fords were in the Winston robbery.

F. ENos vs.. WA SING.
Appeal from the Commissioner of Ways, etc.
Judd, G. j., McCa1y and dustin, j. J.-Oph-
ion Of he Court By AcCuily,L

In this case the court heard testimony at
large for both parties in addition to the record
of the Commissioners, and atterwafd visited
and made careful examination ofthe locality.
From the testimony and from our observa-
ton Of tie premises, we are satisfied that the
complainant has had his exit and entrance
through tile defendants premises by some
HUMANS or taro patch banks, and that there is
not now and probably never has been way
rs the defendants witnesses support, viz: in u
norlherly or nrauka directioulaiulig the Pahoa
stream, and coming out near tue bridge OF the
main road 10 Mauualua.
We are Of opinion. from observation, that
the particular banks claimed by the plaintiff
were those which had been used for a way
in late years, although the evidence is that
when the defendants land was not IN culti-
walton or but partially cultivated, travel was
not strictly confined thereon. There was at
all times some way through the defendants
promises, and there must be now from necss-
ity somewhere a way through them.
The defendant has however entirely cut
away portion of said way and reduced ii TO
a water patch, for taro or rite. and another
portion lac has cut down to foot or less in
width, which is insufficient for even foot
passengers. This is the way awarded by the
commissioners. 1t appeared to us on in-
speciion that this obliteratiOn and reduction
of the road had been very recently done,
probably since the award Of the commission
ers.
The removal Of the slight fences as we saw
them, would not give the plaintiff tile relief
he seeks. There is however a kuauna or
bank, which is spoken OF in the testimony as
having been sparsely planted with Sweet
potatoes IN order TO bar travel over 1t, which
wonld afford direct aud convenient way for
most OF the distance to the public road.
Having found that the plaintiffs entitled to
a road Of necessity, and that he has hitherto
enjoyed it 10y traversing some part Of the
defendants land We award him follows;
A right Of way by the last said kuauna
which is the kuauna starting from near the
cast and mauka corner of PLAINTIFF premises,
and running in an easteily direction about at
right angles TO the road, coming out through
tue bars now being makai Of defendants
house This way to be made 10y the defendant
three feet wide iii those parts where 1t is now
less than that, with right Of exit by the de-
iendant's bars, which the plaintiff must put
down and up as ne uses them, but this award
does not give to plaintiff the right to fence in
the way hereby awarded. Costs divided.

A Kiss on the Sly.

There is to be found much refresh
ment in a well proportioned kiss.
This much everybody acknowledges,
though only frank few have the
courage to acknowledge it openly.
And it is curious fact, as yet unex-
planned by the philosopher, that the
slyer the kiss is, the more there is in
it of refreshment.
A kiss that is paid as forfeit be-
fore whole room full of people, is
prosaic, not to say embarrassing.
The girl laughs, which spoils the
romance, and the fellow, ten to one,
blushes-neither of them thinking
much of it. and they both are apt
pretty soon to forget all about it.
But let the same fellow kiss the same
girl when nobody is looking-and
the situation is as different as posi-
BILE. That sort of a kiss, fred off in
a hurry behind door or in a con-
servatory, is like an electric shock,
and is sweet as cream. The taste
of it sort of holds on and constantly
suggests the propriety-or impro-
priety, as the case may be--of trying
it again. And the laughing and
blushing are exactly reversed. The
fellow laughs without spelling the
romance bit, and the girl bushes
like pink carnation.
It is queer that the very same
thing should, under such slightly
altered circumstances, be SO entirely
different. nor is it any the less queer
because the difference has existed
from the earliest ages Of the world.
