Once Rich, But Now a Beggar.

A special dispatch of recent date
from Wheeling, w. ", to the Chica-
20 Times says: This afternoon an
aged lady, we'll dressed, but entirely
without money, applied at the police
headquarters for pecuniary aid to
reach Washington City. In answer
to Inquiries as to her name, etc, she
stated that she was the daughter of
Vice President King, of Pierce's adj
ministration, and wife of General
Hunter, Jackson's minister to St.
Petersburg. She gave her age as "a,
and said she was married at the age
of IA, her husband then being 81.
and spent the first six months of her
welded life at the American Embassy
at the Russian Court, giving many de.
tails ct her life and gradual descent
from affluence to her present low
estate. She staaed that she was from
Memphis, and was begging her way
to Washington City, where she ex-
pected assistance from friends, nam
ing W.W.Corcoran as a.playmate and
schoolmate in childhood. The old
lady's sad story bears evidence of
truth, and aid was furnished her to
continue her journey.

Girls and Boys.

1t is mighty sad to see girl come

fore they marry. A fathers house
and a mothers love are mighty had
to tteat. But then happy marriage
is the highest state Of happiness, and
every girl ought to look forward to it.
There are lots Of clever young men in
the land, young men OF good princi
pies and who have been raised bv
good parents. The girls ought to
mate with 'em, money or no money.
Money is a good thing but principle is
better, and if young fellow has O..

is industrious and healthy, why he is
all right, and if I was girl | would
put him on probation and say, think

ShreWd Observations.

1t is my observation that lawyers
are more deficient in observing the
ordinary civilities of life than doctors;
that men of forty and over are less
given to politeness than those of
thirty and under; that women walk
ing in pairs keep both crossings; that
farmers maintain the center of the
pike, and that little more politeness
all along the line would be better for

WHY Was It?

An alleged Printers Union is said to ex
ist in Sedaiia, and vet one of the oldest
Union printers In the state is permitted I'd
pass frem earth and placed under the sod
without one tribute frcm the so-called
Printers Union of the city wherein the
demise occurred. Reference il made to the
death and burial of Thos. J Henderson.
For more than a year past he had made
Sedalia his home, and although il was
known to the members of 1ypograph-
icsl Union No. 2O6 that one of their craft
was slowly hut surely wasting away, not
one was there of the entire Lumter who
stepped forward to cheer the sick mans
weary hours or offered t. 81. mp with him
during the long hours of the nights when
death would not have proved surprise at
any moment.
And even after the spirit of Thos J.
Henderson had taken its flight to its
Maker, not a resolution was passed in re-
spect TO his memory, nor tribute paid by
appointing committee to attend the fu-
neral of a deceased brother. This NAV be
UnionIsm in Sedalia, but in anv other city
it wonld call forth the condemnation il de-
serves. Surely the officers of Typo
graphical Union No. BOG have cause TO
hide their heads in shame, to say the
least

All on Account of q Ring.

An elderly Irish woman. known only as
Irish Mary" has annoyed the police not
little within the past two days, endeavor-
ing 10 have them secure for her ring
which was pawned with Mrs. Lamm, ma.
trsn of the Working Woman's dome.
Mary was formerly an inmate of the
Home, and while there borrowed from Mrs.
Lamm seventy-five cents, and left as secur-
ily plain gold ring. worth probably a
couple of dollars. Mrs. Lamm placed the
circle on her finger, and since then has
been unable to remove il, which fact be-
came known to Mary. and she then deter.
mined to have trouble
The assistance of Marshal Shy was in
voked and ne called upon Mrs. Lamm.
She showed him the ring and convinced
him that she was unable to remove il, as
the finger was greatly swollen on account o;
having worked for couple OF hours in the
hope of removing it. The marshal left and
reported the situation to Mary, but she
was not satisfied. and yesterday she was in
terviewing the remainder of the police
force in the hope of securing her property.
Mrs. Lamm has been troubled not little
by the circumstance. but at present sees
no way out of the difficulty.

How q Constable Got Left.

Mont Carnes, our genial and efficient
constable, is not happy. He is about 81 0
out on fees, which he worked hard to earn,
and his righteous indignation is therefore
very great.
Mr.. u. Hurt held a mortgage against H.
j. Horning, of Georgetown. When the
mortgage became due it was foreclosed and
the papers put in the hands of Constable
Carnes for service. That official was COM
PEELED to have several trips 10 Georgetown,
hiring a horse, at his own expense, of
course, each time. He levied on lot of
wine, the property of the mortgager, and
Friday he went out for the purpose OF
selling the same.
When he arrived at Georgetown the con-
stable was very dry and visions of bump
ers of sparkling and fragrant
wine doomed up before him. He proceeded
to the wine cellar with Louis Deutsch and
several other gentlemen, and tapping one of
the casks drew off trimming pitcher Of
what he fondly supposed was wine of rare
vintage. The first glass was handed TO Mr..
Deutsch. That gentleman took one mouth
fnl, which he speedily spit out, AT the same
time making terrible wry face. The
constable poured out another glass, but
when he proceeded to raise il TO his lips,
the odors which saluted his oifactories con-
WINGED him that he did not want any wine
that is, not any out OF that ock. 1t was
bad enough for the constable TO have TO re-
turn home with his thirs. unquenched, but
it was still worse TO Lose his bill OF costs,
which ne was obliged 10 do, as Mr.. Hurt
refused to accept the wine in satisfaction
of his mortgage

A Petty Thief.

A man in the employ of Elder Gentry
while partially intoxicated, entered the
grocery store of Norton & Norton, last
night, and, after making small purchase
picked mp can of mackerel and slipped
it in his pocket, evidently thinking he had
Lot been noticed. Not so, however, for
one of the clerks had perceived the theft,
and as soon as the stranger left the store
Officer Jackson was notified. He followed
the thief and asked him what he had in
his pocket. He denied having anything
that did not belong to him, but when Jack
son pulled forth the can he weakened and
confessed his guilt. As the proprietors re-
fused to prosecute. the sneak was permitted
to 60 about his business, for which he is no
doubt thankful to-day.
