A Formal Withdrawal

from the convention. Haa-. Rsn. Martin
said it vas merely an assumption to say
that the Jefferson delegates had withdrawn,
as he learned that they were holdings
caucus, and is was his opinion that they
would be present. He believed that they
would not only be present, but would par
ticiPate in the proceedings, and support
the nominee. He said he had been in the
same unfortunate position OF the candi-
dates who expected to come before this
convention. At one time he was a candi-
date against Judge Hoge. He. Martin, got
the nomination and the democracy gave

SAYING THE TRAIN-Tho usual crowd

SAYING THE TRAIN.-The usual crowd
OF Autumn liars wcrcgathered together in
the store, occupying oil the. grocery
seats-the only gross receipts that the pro,
prietor took no pride in-when little,
blearcyed, wcazcn faced individua! sneakcd

corner. -
That's him, said the ungramatical bum
mer with green patch over his left eye.
"Who is it Z" asked several at once.
"Why, the chap who saved train from
being wrecked was the reply.
Come, tell us about it," they demanded
as the small man crouched in the darkness,
as if unwilling that his heroic deed should
be brought out under the glare of the blaz-
ing Kerosene lamp.
Alter much persuasion he began:
'lt was just such night as this-bright
and clear-and was going home Gown the
track, when, right before me, across the rails,
lay great beam. There il was. Pale and
ghastly as a lifcless body, a2d light as it
appeared had not the power to move it.
A sudden rumble and roar told me that the
night express was laundering down and soon
would reach the fatal spot. Nearer and
nearer 1t approached till, just as the cow
catcher was about lifting me, I sprang aside,
placed myself between the obstruction and
the track, aud the train flew on unharmed."
The silence was so dense for moment
that one might have heard dew drop.
Presently somebody said
"What did you do with the beam ?"
81 didn't touch it," he replied "but it
touched me-"
"Well, persisted the questioner, 'if you
couldn't lift it, and didn't touch it, how in
the dickens did the train get over it ?'
"Why, don't you sec ?" said the sad faced
man, as he arose from his scat and sidled
toward the Ioor. "The obstruction was a
moonbeam, and Jumped so that the shad-
ow of my body took its place, and"

TIE UNLUCKY DAY.-For one reason
or another, Friday, from time immcm-
orial, was rcckoned an unlucky day
among nearly all the various branches of
the Aryan family of nations, embracing
the Greek, Latin, Celtic, Tcutonic, and
Slavonic races, or in other words, the ances-
tors of pretty uoariy all the present pop.
ulations of Europe. This was the case
long before any Of these races were Chris
tianizcd. The Romans classcd Friday in the
ncfdsti die, on which the courts we're for
hidden to sit ; and it was one of the uu-
lucky days of that scrt on which worship Of
the gods, or, at least, religious feasts were
never celebrated. After the introduction of
Christianity the day became still more OBJ,
nozious to the people. because it was held
that Christ expired on the cross on Friday
April 3, 33 \. ID. 1t seems that in very
early times i'll the history of English juris-
prudence it became a common practice in
selecting a lay for the execution of crim-
inals to choose Friday. This practice
was transplantcd to the crust of this coun-
try in colonial times, and has been gencr-
ally, though not Invariably, observed ever
since, not only in the original thirteen
States, but in all the States There is no
statutory provisions, 50 far as We can learn,
making it obligatory on judges to follow
this old custom. [; only remains to add,
that the superstition that Friday is an un.
lucky, evil day, is SO deeply rooted in the
minds OF thousands Of intelligent, educated
people, that they cannot be induced to set
sall'on voyage, start on any kind of a
Journey, or commence any new enterprise
on that day of the week. The same super
stition prevails among the the Hindoos.

from st. Louis Tuesday. They
went there in company with A. p.

they had to lie over at Rolla nearly
Il week on expenses. The total
loss was between three and four
thousand dollars. Boys, you have
our sympathy, but We suppose the
railroad company will share at
least a part of the loss. 1t won't
do to pay too high for cattle now.
