Gus but dearly beloved little cherubs blowing
their perennial bubbles. Mr.. Dielman's design
will be utilized in it as a quasi title-page.
Sedalia Democrat, Nov. 22:-"Sherif NJ.
8. Conner left for Richmond yesterday morn
ing, having in charge Rev. Richard Rush,
who was arrested the other day for obtaining
money under false pretenses. Rush's chances
for holding the position of Archon of the
Wise Men of the United States are every
day growing beautifully less. He has been
arrested on the charge stated, and a writ of
replevsn has been issued against him for all
the goods, chattels and regalia belonging to
the grand lodge of Wise Men of the United
States"
Judge Harrison's leave of absence from
Jefferson City has been extended until
December l.. 1t is a pretty hard thing that 3
1ree-born American citizen is, for no crime,
deprived of his liberty, and made to ask as a
gracious favor to be allowed to stay at home
to attend to his private affairs. Negro slav-
cry has been abolished in this country and
white slavery substituted for 1t. Missouri
long ago abolished imprisonment for debt.
The United States would do well to follow its
example. Human freedom is a boon too
dear to be trified with, and the man who does
not think the confinement of our county
judges, with the humiliation of having to ask
leave to come home, irksome slavery does
not fairly appreciate Its hardships. The
one the disgraceful proceeding comes to an
end the better.
