DIED At Pilot Knob, Mo-, Saturday,
Robert and Mrs. Mary a. Bebee, aged
years
The grief Of the bereaved parents for their
beloved little Oracle had not been overcome,
till the grim monster, Death, came again,
this time claiming their 1irst-bOrn, child of
habitual cheerfulness and unusal anima-
tion-though seldom free from bodily pain.
Despite her often infrmities, she grew very
rapidly, and short time before the fatal
disease fastened itself upon her, seemed to
give promise of finally out growing the spas
modic yisitations which had occasionally at
tended her life from infancy. Though young,
she was full of tenderness to all around her.
During her last season of suffering she never
mlIrmured or complained. At one time
when admonished by her anxious mother to
guard against taking more cold, which might
bring about death, she replied, 81 don't want
to get we'll, Il want to die and go to heaven"
In a short time the "silver cord" was lOoSed
and the "golden bowl" "brokcn,' "the
spiritn returned unto God who gave it" and
now "shall the dust return to the earth rs it
was"
Dear Parents
GLOW dark looks this world and how drcary,
When we part from the ones that we love,
But there's restfor the faint and the weary,
And friends meet with lost ones above.''
But weep not, God has taken your little
ones to himself. They are
"AsIecp in Jesus, blessed sleep!
From which none ever wake to weep;
A calm and llndisturbed repose,
UnbrOken by the last of foes" n.

VIM. Trauernicht, Merchant Tailor, Of
Middebrook, has just received very large
stock Of Spring and Summer Goods, suited to
every taste and purse. He makes them up
in the latest styles, ut short notice, and guar
antees perfect fit in.every instance. In adj
dition to ordinary merchant tailor stock, he
deals in all sorts of Gents Furnishing Goods,
Hats, DC. In fact he is now in the city, lay
ing i'll fresh supply, and by the latter part Of
the week will have his additional shelves fill
ed with everything needed to fit out the male
biped in the latest, toniest style. While his
fits are perfect and his taste unimpeachable,
his prices are reasonable. That he is popu-
lar is evidenced by the fact that his business
has greatly increased during the past year,
and is still growing. We can unqualifiedly
commend him to the people Of this section.
The possibilities of electricity are appar-
emily hOundless, and almost every day brings
forth some new invention for its application
to useful purposes. One of the latest of
these is the Portable Electric Lighter, which
is now manufactured in this city, and which
is exhibited at No. % Water Street. This is

space Of five square inches and weighing

carried from room to room and placed upon

expense it can be so arranged as to ring an
alarm or signal bell, or to light gas in any
part of the house. The contrivance is novel,
simple, convenient and cheap.-Boston

Thanks 90 Hon. Thos. G. Foley for some
interesting public documents. OF particular
interest is that report OF the Railroad Com
missionerS in response to a resolution Of the
General Assembly asking whether or not any
railroad in this State had violated any of the
provisions of Section Il of Article Il of the
Constitution. We hope that the report may
be followed by such action as will show that
the State of Missouri is not owned and run
by railroad corporations. If our Democrat
ic State officials know on which side their
bread is buttercd they will attend to the mat
ter without delay. BY the way, is it not a
little strange that it requires resolution on
the part of the General Assembly to draw out
the Commissioners on so important sub
ject? And what services do they perform i'll
the interest of the people in return for the
salary the State pays them? In this connec-
ton, we have to say to the Changers in the
Legislature: much greater good will come
from enforcing the reasonable and Just laws
in force than from the cnacting of new and
extreme laws, such as the one now under
consideration, cutting down railroad tariffs
- per cent. Let our laws be just and rea-
sonable-and enforce them.

who have spent few days in Salt

fact that they have made the "desert

Quite q Difference.


How tremendously the brethren
of the press dwell together in New
York as compared to the perennial
iealousies and hatreds manifested
by the same class in San Francisco.

newly enthroned scribe, declaring
him to be ''one of the cleverest
men in the profession"
Now if the Chronicle should
secure q new editorial writer or ed

itself would refrain from giving
his name or mentioning his abil

the restraints of stupid publishers.
there is not "great daily" in San
Francisco that would have the good
feeling. iberality or largeness to
mention the circumstance.
How different is this from the
treatment that John Swinton. the
veteran journalist of New York, re-
ceived when recently he started his
weekly in that city. Swinton got
notices in Ill the papers, some Of
them q column long. There was a
feeling of fraternity between him
self and the writer's which warmed
into hearty commentator when he
left the ranks OF the salaried to start
in business for himse +.
The trouble with the press of San
Francisco is that it is conducted by
men who should have been shop
keepers. What sympathy can Mike
De Young, or jackson of the Post,
Or Fitch or Pickering have with the
writer's Who contribute to give them
prominence which they never could

to the cold Ali that is necessary is to

rs long as possible, then gradually
coming to the natural position. Repeat
this several times, and, by the amount
of work the tips of the toes are made to
do in sustaining the body's weight, a
