TIE verdict Tn the Frank James trial may have surprised the people of Galla- in. Mo-. as stated in the associated press dispatches, but we do not think tha, ,he general public was in the least as;onished. From the opening of the tTlal, in fact from the surrender of the outlaw, the result was plain. One of the lawyers for the defense remarked. during was an outgrewth of their civilization. The civilization which Frank James rep fesents would not be admitted into the po.ltest society. If d man should go to n entertainment where such outgrow,hs g predomnate. he would go home bare headed and ind his pockets turned out The crack pistol shot and the man who eaa stab an old friend or cut the ears from a new acquaintance, would be ofna- ments in such society, but the quiet esery day. mattcr-of-fact sort of individual would be lief: in that unheal,hful and es- sen;ially unenloyable condition known among classically educated people as the lurch." The civilization which Mir. James represents does not partake of that rctinemen, and speculative philos- ophy which gave 10 Boston its extreme ar of cultivated ,ranscendentalism neither does 1t exhibit an air of gentle ness which should flourish in a female seminary. The quiet repose of the graveyard, rude mounds and pine boards that make brief announcements. IS the result of the Frank James civiliza- ton.

TIE cotton seasonhls opened and the oppressed colored man is selling his staple. The poor oppressed man who is not allowed on aceoun. of numerous deficiencies, to hold the highest political offices in the land, receives his money from the hard-hcar,ed cotton dealer and straight way goes where a gentlemanly b.; oppressed negro sells whisky at five cents drink. In this establishment is ! yery amusing game, with which the poor, oppressed colored man soon be- cerles infatuated. He loses his money, af:er which he becomes delegate to q convention where the abuses foisted on ,ke colored race are rehearsed.

Several days ago while railroad workmen were cutting through Rock Pass, they suddenly broke into cavity. Near the centre of the place they found skeleton under a large rock that had fallen from above. Further research discovered great arm ingeniously made of wood and iron, and here, broken off by the fall of rock, was an enormous hard made of>steel. The fingers were jointed, and the thumb was hollow like speaking tube. Another turn disclosed a machine, to which one end of the arm was attached. The whole arrangement was a wonder of mechan- ism. By closer search scraps of papers were found in an old pocket-book bear ing the name "David Caldron" Thus the old time mystery was explained.

 Every one yielded and the in,elligen, passenger deposited the money in the hand as it lay on the ground. Closing its fingers around the money, the hand disappeared. The driver mounted the box. the passengers resumed their places and the stage proceeded on it's journey Great excitement was created when the story was told in Little Rock, bu, many master-of-fact people were dis posed to seoff at the passengers for their silly fears. David Caldron a well known blacksmith ridiculed the passengers so mercilessly that there came very nearly being blood shed. Quite a number of the boldest men in town agreed to go back with the stage and in- vestigate the mystery.
