Who is LizZIeg

A passenger conductor on the c..
& A. railroad, a married man, and
living in Mexico, sent telegram to
st. Louis a few days since, which
read something like this: "Meet me
at the depot tonight, Lizzie" We
suppose, of course Lizzie met him,
as we have heard nothing to the con-
trary.-Vandalia Leader.
Who is Lizzie? Who is the C. &
A. r. r. conductor who lives in Mex
leo except ''Pap" Conklin! and the
Lord knows he would not speak to
"Lizzie," much less make an appoint
with her. There is mistake sure,
and so "Lizzie''w says. - So z-s-g= .~>z.

How Missouri Greenbackers would Tax
the People.
From the st. Louis Republican.


From the st. Louis Republican.
The worsted goods on which it is
proposed to raise the tariff from
thirty-five per cent. to eighty-five per
cent. embrace all kinds of knit goods,
hosiery, drawers and underwear of
men, women and children. There is
not a household IN the land which
would not be effected by this increase
of tax. There is scarcely one indi-
vidual who would not feel it. AT
present the price of all this character
ofundefware, On account of the tariff,
is one-third higher than it would be,
OR ought to be but the protectionists,
who find the people patient beasts Of
burden, propose to increase their load.
II the tax can be increased to eighty
five per cent. the rightful price will
be raised to nearly double what it
ought to be-that is, goods worth 81
will cost 81 IS. In favor of this in
crease the house of representatives on
vote a few days since stood 1875 to
20. There We're wanting but five
votes to give the necessary two-thirds
to suspend the rules. Itis, of course,
not improbable that this bill will yet
be passed. The point in conjunction
with it which most directly concerns
the people of Missouri is, that the
four -Greenbackers, Ford. Burrows,
Rice and Hazeltine, pumped their
votes in for this increase of tax upon
their constituents. Not man in
either one of their districts but would
find his clothing increased in cost
if these protectionist Greenback men,
bers of congress can have their way.
There is not shadow of reason or
excuse for proposed legislation except
that the rich woolen goods manufac-
turers, mostly located in the East,
want to get richer. The tax has not
even the specious excuse of protec-
ton to wool-growers, as it would not
bar out or raise the price of the raw
material upon which these manufac-
turers largely rely, and of which they
imported s7,56O,925 worth during
the nine months ending March 81 of
the present fiscal year. Of course
these Greenbackers stood alone in
the Missouri delegation in the effort
to put this additional onerous and
needless tax on the people of this
State,

from lne MODerIy Cnr0n1cle.
Be it remembered that Saturday, June
10, 1882, was the 52nd birthday of the
Chronicles Manager, and there were
present a number of people to the Old
Man endeared by years of affectionate
friendship. Besides his brother, James B.
Thompson, and two daughters, with two
sisters, and nephew Dickie Phipps of St.
Louis, there were Aunt Margaret Muir
of Howard and Aunts Emmie Myers and
Lizzie Hayes of Audrain. All these gath
cred about the Old Mans board and en-
joyed the reunion more than the feast,
although the spread was both bounteous
and dainty. And what troop of memo
ries chased each other up and down the
halls OF the Old Mans memory in this
sacred presence, and looking on these
faces, sanctifed from childhood's very
earliest recognition of goodness-looking
thus and thinking Of the days that are
no more''-
.Tears, idle tears, know not what they mean
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart andgather tothe eyes,.
Yes! yesterday was the Old Mans birth
day; and he received a lot of presents that
made him very happy. gBrer. Jim brought
down from the Land of Plenty some
pounds Of fine butter and a bunch of rad
dishes, a number of which resembled So
ipound sacks of -four; Mrs. Will J. Kirby
of Huntsville, a gorgeous bouquet; Miss
Allie Haines, resplendent bouquet; and
Mr. Ed. F. Smith, the tasteful, accom-
lplished job printer Of the Home Press,
La Plata, brand new "Faber No. 2" in a
splendid nickel-mounted holder and an
elegant silver mounted indelible pencil;
John R. and Joe w. Luckie of Mexico,
Che latter the famous dentist, formerly
President of the Mo. Dental Association)
a white Marseilles vest; Joe Morris OF
Mexico, patent silk neck-tie; Miss Mamie
w. Myers of Audrain county, a splendid
bouquet; Mrs. Henry DeJarnett of Mex
tico, pair of Balbriggan half-hose; Mrs
Rebecca Thompson, Carlyle's French
Revolution. Now, we'n lay a reasonable
sum on the proposition that William H
Vanderbilt didn't enjoy his last birthday
gifts, nor prize the good will of the
donors, more than the "Old Man of the
Chronicle" appreciated the gifts ant
givers above enumerated. Long ant
happy lives to you, good friends! "Whil'
memory holds seat in this distracted
lglobe," will you remembered be!

Artist photographed q
short time ago Mr.. Oscar
Wilde, the Esthetic apostle,
in many positions which
are very characteristic, as
being explanatory OF the
doctrines of this new dis
ciple. Among many of the
compositions which were
embIematic, were some,
with the dim and shadOWy
patterns of sunflOWers and
lilies on the walls, and used
as accessories i'm the interi-
Ors, and when exterior
compositions were used,
then the artist was equally
happy in their arrangement
The proof OF the negatives
