A MilliOn Dollars a Second.

There are periods in mems lives
when time is worth about 81 ,eoo, 900 a
second. One such instance is when a
man arrives at a railway crossing one
and one-quarter seconds ahead Of the
lightning express. AT such times five
men out of ten will stand up in the
wagon and rain fifteen pound blows
upon the outlying districts OF their
horses back in their awful eagerness
to save that precious bit oftlme which
TIE train would occupy IN passing. II
matters not if the hind wheels and tail
board are torn off and 4 $500 wagon
forever ruined, so long as his life is
spared the man is supremely contented
and happy. This peculiarly OF man
was illustrated at the Naugatuck sta
ton this morning. A rcd hair would
have been fattened between the loco
motive and wagon wheel, SO close was
the shave. But the man wasn't killed
and has probably chuckled 4 hundred
times to-day to think Of the time which
he saved Waterbury American.

Give Us q Man1ier Race.

We have dire misgivings for the
future of this country when we con-
template the idolatry Of wealth and the
tendency to worship rank, and what is
called position. The mere posses
sion of goods and chattels in large
amounts does not, by any means,
necessarily argue excellent character
and rank and position intellectual
superiority. 1t had been hoped that
the increased attention to athletic prac-
tees and games would to develop
the manlier qualities of the youth OF
the land. 1t may have exercised
wholesome influence in that way.
But it canuot be forgotten that scarce.
ly any confidence can be reposed to-day
in the integrity with which horse-race
by professional racing men will, in any
case, be conducted. We want more
manhood. 1t should be the first prin.
ciple inculcuted in all our schools and
universities. 1t is before language
before science; before the arts. Great
and generous souls alone can be happy
Better to be dumb man. than to be a
linguist and sneak. Cultivate the
intellectual, by all means. knowledge

Acquire property, by industry and
honesty. 1t makes you Independent,
and enables you to lend helping

tutored men are, in soul, exalted far
above scholars, and that man may be
poor and yet be above some man
who is rich. The great need Of the
country now is young men of the man.

Fifty Years of Married Life,

Fifty years ago little group of
friends assembled at an appointed
place in Washington county, Tennessee,
near Jonesborough, the county seat, to
witness the marriage of Mr.. John Wad-
dill and Miss Delilah Phillips. A half
century has passed with its tremendous
record, and on the 10th. inst. another
and larger assembly met at the present
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Waddill,
four miles northeast of Kirksville, 1t
being the occasion of thei1 fiftieth we'd
ding anniversary. There were about
fifty persons present. Oftheir children
as follows; J.W. Waddill, J. F. Waddill
and wife, Robert Wadcill and wife.
VIM. Waddill and wife, Captain John
Johnson and wife, John Tudor and
wife, David Ratllff and wife, Ira Snyder
and wife. George Butler and wife, and
Mrs. Cynthia Smith, also quite a num-
bel. of grandchildren. There were also
present MIR. Campbell Willis and wife,
Mr.. John Vaughn and wife, Rev. F. M.
Green and wife, Mr.. Deardorff and wife
and the Mi. ses Ella and Fannie Willis.
1t was an occasion of pleasure to all
present. an excellent dinner was served
and "All went merry as marriage bel" "
Quite an interesting amusement was
enjoyed in the afternoon-that ofweigh-
ing each of the guests with an old-tash-
ioned steelyards which was a present
to Mr.. Waddill from his father when
he began housekeeping. We suppose
the old gentleman meant by this gift,
over and above investing his boy with
a necessary convenience in that day,
to teach him an important lesson,-to
love justice and to deal fairly by men;
and judging by the testimony borne by
his neighbors after aresidence oftwenty
six years in Adair Co. he has profted
the instruction.
Mrand Mrs Waddill emigrated from Tenn.
to Coles county, H., in 1885. sojourned there
twenty one years, and during that time bur-
led two children; came to Missouri in 1856,
bringing with them quite large family, con-
sisting of five sons and seven daughters, all
of whom reside in Adair county to-day, EXCEPT
Mrs. Dennis their eldest daughter, who. with
her family, resides in Oregon. and one son,
who was slain at the Ccntrala massacre.
Some very appropriate presents were receiv.
ed among them we noticed comfortable
chair for Grandma" and a WEDDING SUIT for
the aged groom. Devotional exercises were
conducted by the pastor of the family,
and some very wholesome counsel given to
all by MI. Waddill.

In the humblest business as well as
in the highest aims of life, success prac
tically depends on the exercise of the
moral, quite as much as ON that of the
intellectual faculties. knowledge by
itself is only a small power. 1t is char
acter that converts it into a great
power. Character Is to knowledge Just
what interest is to money. 1t is the
animating force that renders it pro-
ductiye.

DEMOCRATIC soLlClTuDE.

The Democrat OF this week taking
the cue Of the other twin of last week,
takes very doleful view Of the pros
poets of the republican party of this
county in the coming campaign. A
the Democrat doesn't happen to know
very much about republlcanism in this
county, there is some excuse for its
wild statements.
There has been no time in the last
eight years when the prospects of re-
publican success were better than now
there has never been 4 time when
the republicans with the exception Of
q few were more united than now.
And to intimate that there are divisions
that will endanger its success this fall,
is simply an insult to every intelligent
and thinking republican. The wish is
doubtless father to the thought. And as
for debating the nomination, or who
shall be nominated that amounts to SIM
ply nothing. The republicans of this
county as a whole, know what they
want, and they will select, nominate,
and elect good men without being
dictated to by any man or
political paper and the ,nen, who would
refuse to Join in and aid hea, tlly in the
election of ticket so chosen, would not
he the kino of men that the Republican
party of this county is composed of. If
there are evils in the republican party
as intimated by the sage of the Demo-
crat, they will be corrected inside of the
party, not bv joining in with the demo-
cracy. The man who thinks republi
cans will bolt their party because they
don't happen to get their particular
choice every time, place verylow esti-
mate upon true republicanism. We, as
well as the republicans all over this
county are such from principle. and he
that is so only for the money there is in
itcar be well spared from The republican
ranks. In the primary or delegate
convention, which ever we may have,
the fight will no doubt be hotly contes-
ted, but when the candidates are nomi-
mated, the republicans will JOIN in, to a
man and elect them by good round ma
iorities The man that thinks there will
be such a thing this year as party
made up of disgruntled elements, Is
righ so far as the democracy are con-
cerned, but any one can count on his
fingers, all the republicans who will
unite with such a party. The Democrat,
in its great wisdom, had better heal
the dissentions in its) own ranks before
it tenders its good offices 10 any other
party.

The Gulteau Case.

WASHINGTON, May H. Arguments
Oh the bill of exceptions in Guiteau's
case was resumed this morning and
Col. Corkhill opened Tor the prosscu-
ton. After detailing the circumstances
of the shooting he passed on to the
question of jurisdiction and pronounc.
ed as absurd the position taken that
because President Garfield was not al
lowed to remain in Washington and
die therefore the court has no jur;sdic'
ton.
He quoted the decision of the Su'
preme Court of Tennessee, which held
the offense was committed at the place
of the blow, though death occurred
elsewhere. He argued that the evi
dence admitted for the prosecution tc
rebut the defense Of insanity was com
petent and properly admitted; that il
was justi6able IN the rebuttal for the
prosecution 20 to any length in show
ing that the acts of defendant, which
had been offered as evidence Of insan
| ity, were rather the product OF lmmor'
ality. Counsel discussed at some
length the exception to the evidence oi
Mrs. Dunmore (Guiteau's former wite)
claiming the domain of confidential
communications between husband and
wife had not been invaded by the pros.
ecution.
Corkhill discussed the question at
considerable length.
The court adjourned before Davidge
concluded his argument.
At the conclusion OF Col. Corkhlll's S
address, Mr.. Davidge Immediately te'
gan the closing argument for the pros
ecution, addressing himselfto the ques'
ton of jurisdiction.

The Love Of chil ldren.

Those who really love their children
are not those who merely love the
pleasure they can get from children,
but real pleasure, and the moment it
ceases to be pleasure, then farewell to
the children. Those who really love
children love all about them-the
troubling and the teasing they make,
the washing and wlping and worrying;
they do not tire with their fretting, they
are not disgusted with their care, they
are not made nervous by their bawl-
ing; they take them in their entirety.
1t never occurs to them to say that
these things are disagreeable, for in re-
ality, the agreeable things, the lovli-
ness, the velvet cheeks, the exquisite
mouth with its little pearls, the perfect
eyes, the opening soul, the charming
intelligence the constant sense of the
creation Of new hymn going on un-
der the eyes, the receptivity oflove, the
thing for love. all so far overbalance
anything that is not in accord with
them as to put it entirely out of sight
and mind.-90me Treasure.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Mr. Davidge
resumed his argument in the Guiteau
case this morning, again addressing
himself to the question of jurisdiction.
1t would, he said, be simply monstrous
to assert that the head of the nation
could be murdered here, at the very
seat of Government, and, because he
happened to die elsewhere, the sover-
eighty of this great nation should be
powerless. 1t is now the duty Of this
court to declare, in plain and unmis-
taxable terms, the meaning of the
statutes of the United States, and to
vindicate the sovereignty of this nation
reposed in their keeping.
Davidge closed by combating the
points of the prosecution regarding the
testimony of experts and of Mrs. Dun
more, and was followed by Reed, who
emphasized the part he had taken in
the opening address, and closed with
an appeal to not send Guiteau to the
gallows If grave doubts should be
found to exist as to the jurisdiction OF
the court which tried him. The court
adjourned till Moday, taking the matter
under advisement.
