The senior editor. of the Paris
Mercury, speaking Of his visit last
week to Mexico, says:
We met L. NJ. Pease, a polite and
gentlemanly dealer in dry goods and
groceries; r. H. Fowler, a clever
and liberal dealer in staple and fancy
groceries; Reed & Nelson, and
Ricketts, & Emmons, two of the
largest and most popular dry goods
firms in the city. They keep man.
moth stocks Of dry goods on hand at
all times, are clever, liberal and ac-
commodating, with a full corps of
polite clerks to wait on their numer-
u customers. Friend C. H. Eubank,
the hardware and agricultural imple-
ment dealer, seemed to be doing a
good business. Called at the LEDGER
office Bob White was absent, attend
ing the Congressional Convention in
that district, but found his right bower,
our young friend Everett Bean, on
duty, running the machine. Everett's
numerous friends here will be pleased
to learn that he is regarded as one
among the most popular and best
business young men in that city. He
has our thanks for courtesies ex-
tended.
Mexico is a flourishing, go-ahead
city, and business seemed to be better
and more brisk than at any point
visited.

You said unknown heirs are there

described real estate, situate in the
County of Audrain, State of Mis-
souri,, to-wit: Lot four in block
nineteen, in the original town of
Mexico, and as will more fully ap-
pear of record i'll the recorders Of

said, in book ga" at page 600, be,
by the court declared satisfied and
lien removed under said deed of
trust.
And unless you be and appear at
the next regular term of this court

vorce of this district from Monroe
and ''fat Alexander" and last, but
not least, Filley's dictatorship, there
is nothing to be gained by crying over
such calamities. Filley's obdurate
heart will not be softened by tears.
1t al be appeased only by the sight
of the liberals confined to skim milk
and oleomargarine. If the liberals
will take our advice they will not wait
to be strangled; but will bring out
their batteries, carry the war into
Africa, and make another Alexandria
of Filley and his cohorts. They can
not dwell in safety while the dictator
plays executioner and handles the
rope of the national g~uillotine.

Case Of Grim. Con.

The Kansas City people did not
know anything about the escapade of
a couple Of the denizens of that city
in Mexico last month, till they saw
an account of it in last weeks LEDGER.
The Kansas City Times reporters
made more Investigations and report
as follows:
The Bouscaren- Conallin case IS in
statu quo, nor is it likely that the true
inwardness Of the case will be dis
closed until John Conallin's suit for
divorce gets into court. He will in
stitute proceedings at once ON the
ground of adultry. When asked if he
would say anything further relative to
the matter yesterday, he replied in
the negative. He said there was one
circumstance of the affair that had
given him more pain than any other,
and that was Mrs. Conallin's talk
about mistreatment. He said that in
his opinion no man or gentleman would
beat a woman under any provocation,
however extreme, and it was a source
of no little annoyance that he should
be advertised as a wife-beater. He
averred that he would be able to es-
tablish mis- kindness and indulgence to
his erstwhile wife when the divorce
suit was tried.
"One of two things is certainly
true" said a female friend of Mrs.
Conallin's to a Times reporter last
evening. EITHER Mrs. Conallin was
never married legally to John Conallin
or she did not become the wife Octave
Bouscaren at Mexico, June 21st.
"What are your reasons for such a
view?"
"I'll tell you that Georgiana Con-
allin is no fool, not enough Of a min
compoop, surely, to put her head into
any such moose as the crime Of big
amy"
"Where love is reason and judg-
ment r often absent" modestly
suggested the Times.
Eyes, Mrs. Conallin was a woman
to fall madly in love-" rejoined the
lady as she closed her left eye in a
significant manner, land Octave Bous-
caren is a man to ensnare Mrs. Conal-
lin in any wild affair of the heart. 1t
will be a frigid cold day when Mrs.
Conallin is guilty Of any such nom
sense, and you can just make a men,
orandum of the fact that she has not
married Bouscaren unless she could
do so legally. There is a history in
this case, though I do not know what
it is. 1 have heard that the marriage
of John Conallin and his wife was re-
corded in this county, the ceremony
having been performed since their re-
moval to Kansas City three years ago.
Whether theyiwere married before !
cannot say, o am l IRE that the
rumor I repeat is correct. OF one
thing I am quite certain, and that is
that Mrs. Conallin has not placed her
self in a position to be dealt with by
law"
We are certain Of one thing, and
that is, the marriage of Mrs. Conallin
and Mr.. Bouscaren, in Mexico, June
21st, by Rev. DIR. Stoddert.

FOrrist's speech at Dingle's Picnic.
BY request of the managers the ed
itor of the LEDGER introduced Judge
W. O. Forrist at Dingle's picnic.
He made a strong republican speech.
We only have room for q summary of
his speech.
He said he was a republican out
and out, and preferred to vote for re-
publican candidates; but if a conven-
ton of his party demanded 1t he'd
hitch up with the greenback heifer,
swallow the dirt of the greenback
platform, and pillow for Rice. He is
against prohibition and is yet will
ing to submit that measure to a pop
ular test. He. will vote against it I'M
less his party endorses it, and then
he will say, amen. He will stick to
the republican party until 1t under
takes to hang him, and then like all
that are - disciplined, he will
kick but not until then. His chief
grievance is, there have been no re-
publican conventions this fall. Chaun-
cey L. filley has turned dictator and
put the republican party int his pock-
et,so as to levy on postmasters. In short
has made orphans Of the liberals, and
the supreme question is, s'what shall
be done about it," II Chauncey L.
don't call a convention by the middle
of the month he will find out.
While exceedingly interested, we
were as much surprised as the green
hacker who followed in debate. We
had gone out expecting the roar of a
lion and encountered great dis
appointment. 1t will take more than
plants to overwhelm Filley and the
Stalwarts. DeplorabIe as events since
the last republican convention have
been in the Judges eyes-the cleo
ton and assassination of a president,
the substitution of another, the ignor-
ing of the requests of the prohibition
Mexico weekly ledger., 1882-08-17

Judge w. o. Forrist is in favor of
a Republican convention being called
in this State, and is now stamping the
Seventh District to this effect. Judge
Forrist Is a good speaker, but, as Is
the case with all Republicans, is CON-
PEELED to be subject to boss rule.

VoCIFEROUs PRAYER-Dr. Ansou Smyth
says in the Evangelist !: at seems to me
that vociferous praying is an abomination to
God, to angels aud to men, and that dull,
lifeless prayers are little worse than that
A little child once heard a strange minister
pray with his head thrown back, his nose
pointing skyward, and with loudness as
though seven thunders had uttered their
voices, and she whispered in her mothers
ear: Would he have to pray so loud if he
lived near to God ? No, my child, the
nearer we get to God the more hushed are
our voices &"
