Anecdotes Of Jesse.

A well-known South st. Joseph
hOrse-trdder was probably the only man
in ST. Joseph, slys the Gazette, who
knew Jesse under his right name.
Charley Ford says Jesse would have
killed any man who had recognized
him here. but the man in question was
an exception to the rule. Jesse James,
upon one occasion saved the gentle
mans life by throwing up q double
barreled shotgun held to his breast In
a quarrel. Jesse afterwarG visited the
gentleman in the mountains of Vir-
ginia, and at parting remarked to him
Next time you see me Ill be a mar
Tied man." Those were Jesse's court
ing days. The gentleman, like true
man, never forgot his preserver, and,
though they passed each other on the
streets of st. Joseph more than once,
never by look or act betrayed him.
Jesse James nearest neighbors, on
the corner of Thirteenth and Lafayette
streets, speak in the highest terms of
the departed outlaw. During the last
snow storm a number of young ladies
at No. 1920 LAFAYETTE street were in
the yard snow-bAlling each other, when
Jesse, to them known only as the quiet
neighborly MIR. Howard, CHANGED to
pass the premises on his way home
In spirit of mischief one of the ladies

ard. but no vocation is given.
Jesse, among other accomplishments,
could lay claim to being a good billiard
player, and some of his evenings were
spent in a saloon at South st. Joseph,
where he could indulge his passion for
the game with number of young men
whom he often met. One dark night
a young man said:
"Mr. Howard, don't like the idea
much of going home tonight. 1t is
dark, and man may be held up"
where do you liver asked the
pseudo Mr.. Howard.
"On the hill" was the reply.
all see you home" said Jesse, "and
nobody shall lay hand on you while /
am with you"
He kept his word. They went home
together. The bare recollection,
though, always produces a cold sweat
on the young mans person.

Henry w. LongfeIIow.

Henry w. LongfeIIow.
The death of Longfellow is a severe
and irreparable loss to English litera-
ture, fer he is almost the last of those
who have achieved renown and com.
PEELED respect for American letters
abroad. Hawthorne, Bryant, Prescott,
Motley and Cooper, have finished their
work. Whittier alone remains, but he
is trembling on the threshold of the
tomb.
About Longfellow's genius there is
but one opinion in the hearts and
judgments of his countrymen. He
stands foremost as the only poet Ameri-
ca has produced who can rank with
the great poets of the English language
below Shakespeare, Milton and Byron.
European literature. especially that of
Germany, had a powerful influence
upon his literary work. Of English
poets Tennyson is the one he mostly
resembles, and yet there is little real
similarity between the two. His many
translations from Spanish, German,
Swedish, Danish and Anglo-Saxon at
test his linguistic and poetic skill. His
own works have been translated into
many languages, and prominent Eng
lish authority has said Of them, con
this side Of the Atlantic Longfellow
and Washington Irving are as well
known as Tennyson and Goldsmith"
This is strong but deserved praise
In America his complete works have
| oV1i hn oi LOFT nd SC
almost impossible to overestimate the
regard in which Tenpyson has been
held by all the scholars and literature
More than any other poet he secured
the love of the children of his fellow
countrymen, of which a sterling illus.
tration was given by the assembling of
5000 children of the public schools OF
Atlanta, Ga, on the last anniversary OF
his birthday. For he to them was the
"humbler poet"
Whose songs gushed from his heart
| AS showers from the clouds of summer
Or tears from the eye!ids start
To every lover of poetry wherever
the English language is spoken he
was the poet of gentleness, sweetness
and refinement. His work seldom
suggested strength or greatness, but
in pure, simple eloquence it has sci
dom been excelled. Many may think
"Evangeline" and "Miles Standish'
are the best Of his works, but after
several of his lyrics contained in 'The
Voices of the Night" and his Songs
which are perfect in construction and
beautiful with pensive sadness and
humanity, the writer believes that
sThe Song of Hiawatha" will outlive
others of his more pretentious works
if for nothing else for its peculiar con-
struction and the soft, liquid music OF
its quaint metre, which is like the
flow of water "rising, ripping ON the
pebbles" Surrounded by friends he
has lived a long and beautiful life
He loved learning, and the serenity of
books amid which and full of years
and honors he has pa sed on to join
the Being beauteous, ard the people
to-day mourn his loss, and rejoice that
he has entered at the open door.

THE CIVIL Service Association OK
of Philadelphia, sort OF reform
society, has issued a request to en-
ployees of government in eastern
Pennsylvania, who are unwilling by
assessed for political purposes, to
report the fact to the association
together with all the circumstance
connected Herewith. The govern
ment employee is willing for any
other employee to kick up a row
over having to pay portion of his
salary into the republican corruption
fund but he dOse'nt want to take the
chances Of making a row himself
Much as he diSlikes to pay the
money and infamous as he consid-
ers the robbery, he prefers payment
of the assessment to running the
risks Of being kicked out if he re-
fuses. or even squeals. The Civil
Service Association will receive few
esponses to its requests.
