Deer In the louisiana AWamps.

Few persons. we imagine, had any
idea of the vast number of deer still
left in the swamps of Louisiana until
they were driven from their Businesses
by the high water of the present season.
In the immediate vicinity of Matches
there have been hundreds, and we may
probably be speaking within bounds
when we say thousands, of these beauti-
full animals which have crossed the river
within few miles above and below the
city. Worn and exhausted with their
long swim across the swollen river, they
would have fallen an easy prey to the
pot-hunters, who only hunt for profit,
had it not been for the extraordinary ex-
ertions of the true sportmen of the coun.
try and humane people who despise wan
ton cruelty.
Recently several gentlemen, in their
Sunday rambles, found number of deer
which had fallen into q ravine and we're
unable to get out. With true humanity
they went to work and dug pathway
by which the little animals could find
their way out of the ravine, helped them
to mount to the top of the bank and sent
them on their way rejoicing to the green
woods of the country. Instances of the
same kind of humane feeling have been,
we are glad to say, the rule with the peo-
pie of this vicinity, while the DISPOSE
ton to capture and kill the deer has been

Contempt or Court.

Tom Marshall was engaged in the

Judge struck him as so bad that he rose
and said:

Tom, "that what said was little hard
on Pontius PLATE, but il is the first time
in the history of Kentucky jurisprudence
that it is held that to speak direspect-
fully of Pontius PLATE is contempt of

"Mr. Clerk, make the fine $40 for con-
tinuous contempt" said the justice, SOL

Woman Suffrage In wyoming.

"Women don't want to hold office, "
said Governor John w. Hoyt, of Wyom-
ing Territory in his lecture on woman
suffrage one evening before large audi
ence in Association Hall. "They do not
care for public life. During all my ex-
perience in Wyoming Territory, where
women are citizens, and hold the same
civil rights as men, have not heard of
one woman who desired active public
life. It is interesting to know how wo-
man suffrage was obtained in Wyoming.
A saloon keeper one day said to his wife,
'"Betty, it is shame that should be q
member of the legislature and make laws
for you, when you are so much better
than l" Of course Betty agreed with
him. When this man went to work at
his bill for woman suffrage, people
smiled, and the members of the legisla-
lature smiled. But he was shrewd
man. He went to to the Democratic
members and said, Here, you may as
we'll vote for this, because, even if it does
pass, which is doubtful, the Republican
Governor will veto it, and you can thus
show your Iberality." He told the Re-
publican members that the bill wouldn't
pass, and that they had better put them
selves on the good side of the record any
way. The result staggered everybody.
The bill passed by great majority, and
the Governor, John A. Campbell, signed
it. The next Legislature tried to repeal
the bill, but couldn't Philadelphia

AnecdOte Of Judge Story.

The following anecdote about the fam
Gus jurist Story is in private circulation,
but is good enough for the public eye.
It was prepared for Story's biography
by his son, but Charles Sumner, who
edited the work, struck it ont. The mar
rative runs like this: In his younger
days Story lived in the aristocratic old
town of Salem, in Massachusetts,. His
great ability was not then tempered by
as much wisdom as he afterward dis
played, and he was looked upon with
disfavor by some of the old families.
One day Mrs. A. called upon Mrs. B.,
and in the course of their conversation
there being q seamstress present
Mrs. A. asked Mrs. 3. il her
daughter Vas going TO the party that
evening. mo-" was the short reply;
II don't propose e let my daughter

Story" Years afterward, whom Story
was judge on the supreme bench, he
visited Salem, and was kindly welcomed
by those who had known him formerly.
Among his lest friends apparently was
Mrs. b., and he accepted her pressing
invitation to dinner. Now. in the
years which had elapsed, the seamstress
had become possessed Of homo 1T her
own, to which vas attached = garden,
With pear tres, which Vas inst then
loaded with fine fruit. After the invita-
ton to dinner had besn accepted the
seamstress received call from Mrs. B. q
servant, asking her 10 send mp basket Of
her excellent pears for dinner, - "Mr.

THE POET AND THE CHILDREN.
JOHN G. WHITTIER.

With a g'ory of winter sunshine
Over bis locks of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat on his last birthday.
With his books and his pleasant pictures
And his household and his kin,
While sound as of my RAIDS singing
From far and near stole in.
1t came from his own fair city,
From the prairie's boundless plain,
From the Golden Gate of sunset,
And the cedarn woods of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his moistening eyes grew dim
For he knew his country's children
Were singing the songs of him:
The lays of his life's glad morning,
The psalms of the evening time,
Whose echoes shall float forever
On the wind of every cline.
All their beautiful consultations,
Sent forth like birds of cheer,
Came 1ocking back to his windows,
And sang in the poets ear.
Grateful, but solemn and tender,
The music rose and fell
With a joy akin to sadness
And greeting like farewell.
With a sense of awe he listened
To the voices sweet and young,
The last of earth and the first of heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung.
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change to come,
He heard the summoning angel
Who calls God S children home
And to him in boiler welcome,
Was the mystical meaning given
OF the words of the blessed Master:
"Of such is the kingdom of heaven I"

A COllOquy.

Corunna Journal: "Of the three Re-
publican papers in the county, the Journal
was the only one that commented on the
Republican county nominations. Why was
this?"
Bancroft Advertiser: "This is how it
is, Bro. lngersoll: They did not feel thor
oughly satisfied with the ticket. Seer"
The above from the Advertiser, so far as
THE TINES is concerned is not true. THE
TIMES and all It's friends are more than
Thoroughly satisfied with the ticket, ;
and are going to do the work necessary to
ensure its election, every man from sheriff
to cor oner inclusive, and don't you forget
it Mr. Advertiser So far as the Journal
was concerned. when Mr. Ingersoll penned
that item, he knew the fact that care.
fully prepared article endorsing the ticket,
subsequently published, had been prepared,
but in the absence of the editor of THE
TIMES was mislaid, and that was the only
reason the article did not appear as it should
have done in the issue following the con-
vention. Fair play, Bro. Ingersoll, will
pay best both in politics and religion"

The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1882-10-10

The St. Joe Gazette, in speaking of one
of Senator Cockrell's campaign speeches,
has this to say about our distinguished
representative in the upper house Of the
national legislature:
Senator Cockrell, with genial manner
and an easy flow OF language, which was
at times highly humorous, delivered a
speech which held his listeners for an hour
completely fast. He did not attempt 10
touch upon political subjects, but dwelt
upon the progress of Missouri as state,
as he had known it, upon the stretching
possibilities of the future, and upon the
duties of her citizens as units in the great
republic The astonishing prosperity and
progress of Atchison county, as shown by
the indisputable evidence before him,
were commented on with warm pleasure,
and the prediction made that before TWEEN
ty years had been unrolled FROM the future
hundred thousand people would claim
her fertile lands as dwelling place FIRE.
quent applause interrupted the speakers
words, and when he had concluded he was
again greeted with marked signs OF APP
prevail. The good taste of his remarls
was freely commented upon afterwards by
many republicans who would have BEEN
ready to denounce political speech.

west, ran into train No. 6, on side track
AT Salem, about Z o'clock this evening.

firemen, and Baggageman Holiday were
killed. Four passengers, who are seriously
injured, are now at hotel In this city and
are receiving the best OF attention.
The cause of the collision was mis-
placed switch. Both engines are badly
wrecked, but the passenger coaches are not
greatly broken.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon, so far as can
be learned from further particulars re
garding the accident at Salem last night,
it appears that The way passenger train was
standing the switch waiting for the can
non ball to pass The brakeman OF the
passenger train was acting as switchman,
and b ing new man, was nervous. Ii
seems that as the cannon ball approached
he thought the switch was not right, and
hurriedly pulled. the bar, thus misplacing
the switch, and the cannon ball, al full
speed, crashed against the front of the
other train. Both engines and the bag
gage cars were demolished, and both
engineers, the fireman and the baggageman
were buried in the ruins, which soon ig-
nited from the engine fires, being fed by
fresh coal i'm the tenders. When taken
from the wreck the bodies were scarcely
recognizable
A road carpenter named Shafer, in the
baggage car at the time, has since died OF
his injuries. None OF the passengers were
seriously hurt.
The brakeman whose error caused the
calamity disappeared, but came into
Nickerson about three hours later and
gave himself up. A special train bearing
the bodies of the dead men is
approaching Topeka, and will be
received by procession composed OF the
various orders of the city. The dead men,
