MR. SEXTON horse-whipped an un- gallant, ungentlemanly fellow on the streets in St. Louis last week for tantalizing lady with his tender pretensions. The Merchants Ex- change called Mir. Sexton in and pre- sented him a gold mounted horse whip as token of approval of his chivalrous deed.

WE notice that some of our neigh bors are opposed to any measure and indeed our preventative is on the same ticket-that tends to in- duce and assist immigration to our State. There is no other method by which we may develop the agricul- tural and horticultural resources of our country. There are thousands of acres of the very best land all through this part of the state, lying waste, growing up in brambles, har- boring wild cats and foxes, that ought to be casting it's mite into the great treasury of the earths' prod ucts. How can you develop this country, build up this country, and make it fulfill it's mission to the glo- ry of God and the joy of men? Only by immigration. We know the popu- lation of the earth may be, and is, increased by the common law of re- production; but the process is so slow, that the increase is so little above the death rate, that the coun- try cannot be peopled and developed in hundred generations. If we have an immigration bureau, and would devote one third of our state revenue to it's support, we would soon have grand and glorious coun- try, and the revenue produced by the increase of population, would more than supplement that taken to bring the population. Strange that the road to success is hedged in to some men.

Col. LOGAN H. RooTs is represent
 cd as having whispered in the ear of some news paper correspondent, that through his influence the Republi- can members of the legislature were prevented giving him compliment ary vote for the U. s. Senatorship, and induced to go solid for Garland. These members publicly, and em- phatically disclaim any such influ- ence, and persist in claiming that, their vote was cast according to their own judgement. As the facts now stand, it appears that Mir. Roots is seeking notoriety, and surely he is in fair way to become notorious among his brethren. However, his position in the affair, is not envious

A sad case of suffering and death
occurred in Harris Addition Thursday
in person of young man by the name
of the Rearding, who but recently
emigrated, with a young wife, to this
country from Ireland. We are in
formed that he was an Industrious,
well deserving young man, and had
been employed at the Railroad Ma
chine Shops here for the past three
nOnts prior TO his sickness.
We DO not know that it is fact, but
it is more than probable that the
expenses attending his sickness and
burial have left his young widow, who
is au absolute stranger here in a
strange land, in needy circumstances.
She is an intelligent young woman
and intends going back to her home
and friends in the Emeral Isle, and if
she needs any assistance, those who are
charitably disposed can do an act of
great kindness in befriending her. 1t
would do nc harm for the good women
of Monroe to inquire into the matter.

He Paid His Rill.

One day last week we wrote a dun
to a mar on a postal card. Monday.
a large man with an mir of a profound
book agent perspiration about him
and a plaid flannel shirt, stepped into
the middle of the Office and breathed
in oil the air that we were not using.
He said that he would give us four
minutes in which to retract, and pull
ed out a watch by which to ascertain
the exact time. We asked him if he
would not allow us a moment or two
to go and pay u taxes. He said
we could walk out that door when we
walked over his dead body. Then We
waited a long time, till he told us
our time was up, and asked what we
was waiting for. We told him we
were waiting for him to die so that
we could walk over his dead body.
How could we walk over a corpse I'M
til life was extinct? He stood and
looked at us at first in establishment,
afterward in pity. Finally tears
weiled up in his eyes and plowed their
way down his brown and grimy face.
Then he said that we need not fear
him. "You are safe," said he. ga
youth who is so patient and so cheer
full as you are, one who would wait
for a healthy man to die so that you
could meander over his pulseless rem
nants, ought not to die a violent
death. A soft-eyed squirrel like you
who is no more conversant with the
ways of this world than that, ought
to be put in a glass barrel of alcohol
and preserved. / came up here to
kill you and throw you into the pi
box, but now that / know what a pa
tient disposition you have, 1 shudder
when I think of the crime I was about
to commit"
He renewed his subscription and
paid his bill. We breathed easier and
had meat for dinner.
