known Renaissance i'm the life of
Aaron Burr. Many editors will do
well to take warming.
"AaIon Burr traced all his mis-
foi tunes to a piece of S'evefrenchism,
and Aaron was the earliest machine
trickster ia New York. In the year
500, when Burr was member of the
assembly of New York-though he
had previously been a United States
senator-he stole pamphlet from a
printers boy in Philadelphia which
turned out to be a confidential letter
from Hamilton to his friends in New
England and South Carolina against

publish it piecemeal i'm the anti-federal
prints, and ii rent the federal party in

to steal the presidency. and when,
two years later, he wanted the federal
aid to beat Morgan Lewis for govern

commit larceny for political advan-
tage cannot haye the support of gentle
men," So Burr, who was listening in
the next rnom-his favorite position
at the key hole. was defeated by the
man he robbed, and turned and shot
him. adding murder to larceny but

MISERABLE McWHINNEY
He Proves to be q Horse Thief of
the Meanest Type.

TIE readers of the BAZoO will remember
an account published. some three weeks
ago, of the arrest and incarceration of
Thomas McWhinney, bailing from the
vicinity OF Syracuse, on the suspicion of
being horse thief. After being
held for several DAYS, and no one claiming
the horse which had been sold at the in
stance of Mr.. McWhinney at auction, and
purchased by Mr. .. Fl. Coe, McWhinny
was released and returned home, the horse
meanwhile remaining in Mr.. Goes posses
sion. Shortly after this COe sold the
animal To a colored man residing
near Dresden. Mr. f j. Stephens, with
whom McWhiuney stated at tine time OF
his arrest he had traded for the mare, ac-
companied by Mr.. J. j. Brown, who re-
sides on the Syracuse road, seven miles
south of Boonville, are in the city, and
according to their statement McWhinney is
ont of the meanest thieves in existence.
1t seems that McWhinney stole from Mr..
Brown a handsome colt, which he rode to
Fort Lyon, in Benton county, and traded
10 Mr.. Stephens for the mare in question.
Mr.. Brown, after discovering his loss, in
stituied search for his stolen
unless they could get credit. ("
There will be no gambling going on
then, in St. Louis ?"
"No, not much more than there is going
on now see there are a couple of banks
open, but the old timers can't get into
those, and any good, square bank would
just as soon let another dealer play against
his bank as he would a sucker with a
thousand dollars in his pocket"
"What are the old faro players doing?
"Why, they are going TO Chicago,
Springfield, ILL.,, and other places to play.
I'll bet can stand down at the Union
depot ON Friday and Saturday night and
pick you out from twenty-five to fifty st.

A KENTUCKY ROMANCE.
A Young Man Whose Daring De-
feat of Jesse James and Dick
Liddle Won Him
q Handsome
Bride.

The young man Hodges, whom our
Adairville reporter mentioned last
week in connection with Jesse James
and Dick Liddle, lives in Cross Plains.
A FavOrite reporter met him last
week, and after showing him the ar
ticle in the paper the following inter-
view ensued:
"Are you the gentleman here spO-
ken of as having had fight with
Jesse James and Dick Liddle ?"
liam"
"How many times did they shoot
at you ?"
"Sixteen. and only one ball hit the
mark. Nv father was shot twice
through the thigh. Three Of the
bullets came very near hitting me
they went through my umbrella,
which was lied on the back of my
saddle
"HOw close were you to the men?"
III could have knocked James pis-
tol from his. hand could have gotten
fair lick at it.
"Were you excited ?"
'NOt the least bit"
"Did you surrecl they were some
of theJames ga',s?'
Had no idea who they we're.
And didn't care. 1t was a life-and
death matter with me, and / SOON
gave them to understand that wasn't
afraid"
did you or your father 60 to
Alabama to identity Liddle, as the
paper stated"
81 didn't. and if father did / don't
know it, don't think much he did,
however"
The Mr. Hodges here spoken of is
a native of Marten, Crittenden county,
KY. and at that time lived there. The
battle was fought near Cross Plains,
and after it was ended MIR. II. wendell
his way to that place and engaged
lodgings at the Villinese house.
Under this roof he first met the
daughter of the host. the little brown.
! eyed beatty, Miss Lizzie Villines.
TO her and his host he related his
dangerous encounter, and the sequel
goes to show that. though "OthellO's
occupation may be gone" the results
of the schemes To which he resOrted are
still the same. She listened to the
story of his dangers, pitied him on
; their account and surrendered the
!. fortress of her heart. To which he
!, laid siege no less valiantly than he
, had against the attacks Of the most
noted outlaw of modern times.
''She swore. in faith twas strange twas passing
strange;
Twas piiiful. twas wondrous pitiiul."
Who knows but that
"She loved him for the danger he had p,ssd,
And he loS'd her, that she did pity them"
The mutual interchanges Of love,
followed shortly by marriage, and the
happy young couple, thus strangely
met, are living under the same ROOF
under which the narrative of this
encounter, that is destined TO become
part and parcel of Jesse James
history, was first told.

The New York democrats have
the heels on the republicans Of that
state, il all reports be true. The most
influential papers Of the latter party
are either ouispoken in their oppo-
sition to Secretary Folger's nomina
ton for governor, or are giving him
a very weak dilutiOn in the way OF
support. Evidence of fraud i'm bis
nomination is piling up like Ossian on
Pelion and the record of this monu-
mental piece of poll teal deviltry de
tracts much from the boasted purity
and Miss Nancy morality of the repub-
lican party. 1t is safe to write, even
now, Governor Grover Cleveland.

of these eleemosynary associations In

have emigrated to Texas.
