mention Of the desertiqS Of his family by
Charles Applefelder. Applefelder is a
tailor, and has been in the employ of J. A
Lamy & Co. Saturday night Applefelder
drew his wages as usual, and since that
time has not teen heard from by his fam
lily or friends.
The deserted family consists of the wife
and FIVE small children, and they are left
in the most deplorable condition, and with
nothing TO eat In the house.
In addition TO being left penniless and
helpless, Mrs. Applefelder bad a portion OF
her household goods attached, yesterday,
for the debts Of her husband. and in order
to keep herself and helpless children from
starving, she was compelled to apply to the
mayor for assistance.
The unfortunate woman saws that this is
the fourth time her husband has deserted
her, but has never left her In such desti-
tute condition as now. She and her little
ones are to be pitied. and they are deserv-
ing objects Of charity.

Imagination constitutes the largest
part of life, after all A man can get
up early in the morning. carry heavy
shotgun through the wet grass for
miles, push bis way through brambles
and br;ers. which have no respect
either for his clothes or his skin, and
at high noon return home with dead
crow which he thought was black
duck, and declare that he has had the
best time in the world; that c.mmuniOn
with nature Gets man up wonderfully,
and that healthy exercise is pleasure
and luxury. If. on the other hand,
you gently lead that man at the morn
ing's early dawn, before yet the stars
have quite faded, into the back yard
where the lonely wood-pile lifts its
cumbrous head, and, putting into his
unwilling hands the persuasive saw,
bid him work perspiringly i'm the open
air until high noon, and accomplish
something better than killing crow,
he will gaze at you with a frenzied
look of despair, utter wild wall of
horror and feel more like committing
suicide than doing his duty The ex-
ercise and the open air are both there,
but something is wanting and life be-
comes burden.

DOrssy's Affection.
New York Tribune.

Ex-senator Dorsey is related by some
Washington friends to have an affection of
the eyes that threatens blindness, and to
show some of the earliest symptoms of soft
ening of the brain. His wife is also broken
in her well-known gszelle-eyed beauty from
the long anxiety and publicity of the mail
trials. Only ten years ago this man was in
private occupations and probably to be in
dependent and happy. A senator's seat be-
ing in want of customer, Re could not re-
sist the temptation. Three years ago he
was regarded in New York as the most
promising and dashing business man who
had come here to settle, and President
Arthur and others were going to be asso
ciated with him in new Broadway horse
car railroad, and it is said that Cornell was
too slow to aid this and other rapid sug-
gestions of young Midas, and hence exss-
perated the vice-president's friends. The
lesson is old as history that men of bold,
forward parts can find no path SO danger

MISERABLE MISSOURI. "
Such is the Opinion of a
Sprightly Young Lady Of
This Commonwealth.
Six Months is Enough Of Western
Life for Her.

This morning, while waiting for the
trains to come in, BAzOo reporter had
his attention called to quite a pleasant
family group in the ladies' waiting loom
At the Garrison house depot The mem.
bers OF tie party consisted of father
mother, four daughters, one of them a
widow, and a son.
From their conversation, which was over.
heard by all in the room, the reporter felt
that few words of inquiry from him
would not be considered impertinent and
so lie modestly drew near 10 the group.
AS fortune always favors the brave, the
one nearest to MIN was one of the
and to her the inquisitorial pencil pusher
addressed few remarks, running about
thusly:
eastbOund train to arrive are you il a
hurry to get out of this city or state? ?"
"Both, sir. The truth is, we, that is
this group YOU see here, have been i'm Mis-
souri, six months, and we are very sick of
the state. Western life doesn't suit US by
any MEANS"
whats the objection to the wild and
Tree country in which you have been so
SuOItIy OonlcileO
"Oh we'll, there are many objections.
We have always lived in Philadelphia and
that city, you know, is such quiet, peace
able place. don't like SO much freedom
of dress and speech as you have out here"
The reporter looked as though he did
nOtGust "catch on" as to the freedom of
dress" and as the young lady offered no
explanation, he let it pass.
Further inquiry gained the information
that the family, which bear the cognomen
of Burnes, settled In Lincoln county six
months ago, where a partner OF Mr..
Burnes' brother killed man, last June,
since which time the Philadelphia has
had more or less trouble, though not
in the least connected with the homicide.
This murder, the young lady says, was
most atrOcious one, and failure to APP
prehend the murderer has led the family
10 desire a return to the Quaker city.
In spite of the strong defense of this
state as most desirable one i'm which to
locate, the young Quakeress kept a close
watch for the train from Kansas City, and
when it did arrive she bounded out of the
room like bird free from its cage and
was soon seated in coach with the rest of
the family
Goodbye" she said to the reporter, 81

in Princeton only two hours, leaving ON

"HOw did it happen that Cumins was

swell, it seems that he left Princeton
about twenty years ago end went into the

two or three months ago. The sheriff oi

the border outlaw, caused him To be ar

the most highly respected in that section"
"The arrest created a great sensation
