How a Missouri Desperate Showed
His Gratitude.

Years ago the James brothers, who
sacked the express car and went
through" the passengers on the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific at Gad's Hill,
stole the money box Of the Kansas State
fair. They rode into Kansas City on
horseback, and when the cashier was
walking to the bank with the receipts of
the day, about $1,000, they pointed their
pistols at his head, seized the box, and
galloped off. This was done in broad
daylight, in the midst of great crowd.
Some time afterwards, one of the
Kansas City reporters wrote an article
about these highwaymen, saying some
kind things. He called them brave,
and said they had done the most daring
deed in the highwayman's record. A
few nights afterwards one of the James
brothers rode into Kansas City, went to
the newspaper office, and calling the re-
porter out, presented him with hand
some watch and chain. They said the
article in question touched them in a
tender spot, and they desired to show
their gratitude.
"But don't feel at liberty to take
this watch" said the reporter.
''But do it to crafty us, We didn't
steal this watch; we bought and paid for
it with our own money! continued the
desperadoes:
mo; you must excuse me, continued
the reporter.
"Well, then, if you can't take this
watch, replied the James brothers, re-
gretfully, ''what can we do for you
Perhaps you can name some man around
here You want killed !"-[Eli Perkins in

Obsequies Of Emerson.

CONCORD, Mass, May 1.-The last
rites over the remains of Ralph Waldo
Emerson took place this afternoon. A
special train from Boston brought many
people thither and almost every build
ing in town bore mourning drapery, the
public buildings being heavily draped.
The services at the house were conduct
ed by Rev. w. II. Farress of Philadel-
phia, and were of simple character.
After the services the procession was
formed and the body taken to the
Unitarian Church. Judge lockwood
delivered the address. Selections from
the scriptures followed and Rev. JAS
Freeman Clarke delivered a long and
interesting address upon the life and
works of Emerson. A prayer and
benediction closed the exercises in the
church. The coffin was borne to the
cemetery where Rev. d. Haskins, Epis-
copal clergyman and member of the
family, read the Episcopal burial service
and the body was lowered into the
grave. The people and clergymen then
united in reciting the Lords prayer.

How a man Travelled over
dirt road in a skiff
Little Rock Gazette.

Lieut.. Samuel Churchill. who was
sent down by the Governor to investi-
gate the manner of distributing supplies,
has, his friends have heard, met with
interesting, if not serious adventures.
Several days ago Mr.. Churchill left
Trippe for Arkansaw City, a distance of
seven miles. A spring wagon being i'm
practicable, Mr.. Churchill resolved
upon making the journey in n skilf, As
rule, place is nearer by land than by
water, but Arkansaw City at present is
nearer to Trippe by water than by land.
After consulting his map, Mr.. Churchill
took the "dirt road" instead Of the rail
way. 1t is not difficult matter for Il
man to loose his way IN skin'. The
road may be perfectly plain-that Is, the
tops of trees may be visible, but tree
tops are deceptive. After padding
around among the tops Of hickories,
blackiaCks, cottonwoods and other trees,
Mr. Churchill discovered that lie had
lost his way. Mr.. Churchill once lost
his way while going from Perryvile to
Morrilton, and, after riding all night, dis
covered himself at day daylight. But on
that occasion he was well mounted.
There is difference between n skin and
Il horse; but forgetting himself, Mr..
Churchill attempted to spur the skiff,
and came so near capsiZing the boat that
he had to catch hold of the bOughs of n
tree to keep from being irreligiously
baptised. Night came on, The road, Mt
least one hundred feet below, could not
be discovered Daylight appeared.
Sam forgot again, and spurred his skiff.
lie ran into the top Of cottonwood tree,
and worked lsstu0usly eXtricating his
vehicle. A grapevine depending from
and eXtrlcating himself, he spurrcd over
to where n man lived, on knoll, in the
second story of his building, and asked
GLOW far Ia 1t to Arkansaw CityY'

"Wall, you see the top of that tree

"Yes.r

you get TO the red oak Then take the
right hand current and stop Mt the eddy
just five miles distant; then YOU will be
IN pretty good water. After this you
can 90 on until you turn over; then you
may swim"
The information was vctv satisfactory.
The advice was followed, aud Arkunsaw
