A MOTHERS MISSING BOY.
From tae Helena Independent

Some days ago we mention ed an acct
dent which happened at Mullen tunnel to
Andrew Waddell by which he received
some very severe injuries A lady of this
city who read the account of the accident
noticed that the injured man bore the
same name as "a young man whom she
knew ten or fifteen years ago in Wiscon-
sin and who had been missing for about
seven years past He had left home for
the mountains at the time referred to, and
had never been heard from since. HIS
mother, shortly after. he came west NOV
ed to Chicago, and as she could not hear
nothing from her absent son she had long
since been forced to the sad conclusion
that he was dead. The Helena lady above
mentioned, who was near friend of Mrs.
Waddel, had often received letters from
her speaking of him, and so it came about
that when the acconnt of the accident TO
Andrew Waddell appeared in our columns
last week it Immediately occurred to her
that it was possible this might be the
missing mao. She made inquiries and
finally went to the hospital to see him.
She recognized him at once although it
had been sixteen years since she Lad seen
him. He also remembered her. He ex-
planned that he had often written to his
mother, directing his letters to their old
home in Wisconsin. This however. was
and after his mother had gone to Chicago,
accounted for her not receiving them
Mrs. Waddell has been written to. inform
ing her that her son is here The injuries
he received at Mullen tunnel arc of
serious character, his skull beng tract
ured by the falling rocks.

continued assaults and powerful encroach-
ments the checks and balances of the con
stitution shall be destroyed, the finale in
the great tragedy would be empire-des-
potism It would be the knell of civil lib
erty the final failure of mans best, most

To avert such a catastrophe we
should discard all political here

apostasy from which there is no recovery
and return to those cardinal truths en-
blazoned on every page of our political
history, enunciated by the fathers, and
upon whose reassertion depends the per
petuity of the republic.
Familiar as are these principles, | pro-
pose here to-day to proclaim them
anew, fondly trusting that the grand
truths which they announce may from the
impetus given them here increase in
volume and strength. till they sweep re
sistless through the land, impressing con
viction on the minds of the people and
dIssipating the miasma and fog of false
political philosophy

1NAuouRaI oF GOV. o,EEAL.

The newly elected governor of Alabama,
Edward A. O'Neal, in his inaugural ad-
dress of December 1, 1882, has distin-
guishe0 himself for ability in his forcible
exposition of the condition and tendency
of our political affairs. He aIludes to the
fundamental principles ON which the gov
eminent was established, and the sad de
parture therefrom, and says:
Surveying the broad field of national
politics, the alarming corruption which
pervades all departments of the general
government, the altered tone of public
morals and official responsibility, the enor-
nous growth of private fortunes, and the
rapidly increasing power aud far
reaching influence of consolidated CAPITAL,
the ever growing power of the federal
Judiciary, the entire disregard of the Iimi-
tations of our written constitution, the
ever increasing manifestations of executive
patronage, enabling the party in power to
send it's commands to all portions of the
country, and at will gather in enormous
contributions and INSCRIPTIONS obedience
from one hundred thousand office holders
all conspire to furnish causes for the
gravest approximations and the gloomiest
forebodings All these causes have
combined to centrallze the power
which it was the intention of the
trainers of the constitution to diffuse.
and to convert our beautiful federal sys-
tenn into centralized despotism, which
will eventually enable the federal govern
ment to govern throughout the states as
effectually as if they were so many prev
inces of one vast empire. If under these

Lord Derby has doubtless many a
time chuckled over his sagacity in sell
ing his fine Tipperary estates before the
troubles there began. His father left to
his younger son-Lord Derby's only
brother-Col. Stanley, Beaconsfields
war secretary, the choice between $780,
900 and tie Irish property. He took the
former. Lord Derby, on receiving the
latter, sold it for $500, 600 to ricl.
Dublin merchant. TIE tenants sent
deputation to Knowsiey, entreating Lore
Derby not to sell, but he said he mus;
do so, because he could not live in Ire
land and would not be an absentee
landlord.
Last fall and winter an immense
quantity of sauerkraut was imported
from Germany, and was pronounced
very superior. The Germans of Read
ing, Pa, prepare it in way that many
consider far better than most other
methods. They cut the cabbage into
long. thin slices, removing the stringy
core, and do not apply salt, but ram it
down SO tightly in stout barrels that it
is covered by its own liquor. They then
head up the barrel, leaving a hole in the
top so as to admit of fermentation. In
Germany the cabbage is. rammed down
by machine propelled by steam. That
received in this country last year came
in tierces holding sixty gallons each.

Fulton's first boat began running be-
tween New York and Albany in 1907. In
1910 Francis James Jackson, then envoy
extraordinary to the United States, writes:
Having passed four months at New York,
I have accepted the offer OF gentleman,
Mr.. Hogan, to lend me his country house.
1t is very good one, on the banks of the
Hudson. Oneof the curiosities that we daily
see pass under our windows is the steam
boat, a passage vessel with accommodation
for near hundred persons. 1t is moved
by steam engine, turning a wheel on
either side of it, which acts like the main
wheel of mill and propels the vessel
against wind and tide at the ratio of four
miles an hour.
As soon as it comes in sight there is a
general rush OF our household to watch
and wonder till it disappears They don't
at all know what to make of the unnatural
monster that goes steadily careering on
with the wind directly in its teeth as often
as not. [ doubt that should be obeyed
were to desire any one of them to take
passage in her. When first this vessel ap-
peared in these waters it excited great con-
sternation. Some of the simple country
folk were pretty well frightened out of
their wits, suspecting, / am told, it was
some diabolical conveyance that hal
brought his satanic majesty frem the
lower realms to visit the United States. l
am inclined to look with favor en- this
application of the propelling power of
steam. Not improbably it is destined at
no distant day to produce incalculable
changes in our mode of voyaging.' In
1919, somewhat later. after terrible earth
quakes had shocked and frightened the
valley of the Mississippi, the first steam
boat descended the Ohio. Its awful cough |
ing brought the inhabitants of the Shaw
neetown country to the river shore. They |
saw the coming steamers breath of fame |
and heart of fire and heard its stertorous |
breathing. 1t was at night. The trem
bling, awe-stricken spectators thought |
they beheld the earthquake on its travels. |
They fled and the growth of Shawnee !
town, thus stunted by pitiful terror. has |
never been reproduced. Such is the ira |

MYSTERY OF a MISSING MAN
From the Philadelphia Record

FROM the fnllaQelpDla RECORD
One of the best men 1 ever knew here
"a man of 65 years, who loved his home
and family dearly, and who had no reason
for eccentricity slipped away one after
noon, went to Boston and then to Wash
ington, and for two years drove a car
there, remaining away because he thought
his wife would manage affairs better with
out him. He never intended to return
but was seen by chance, arrested as a
lunatic, and given his choice to be con-
fined in an asylum or do his duty as a
man. He came back. and, after two hap
py years at home, died in his wife's arms
In another case that | remember, gen
tleman was supposed to have committed
suicide by jumping from steamboat
His wife made no fuss, but kept the mat
ter quiet, because she alone never gave up
the idea that his suicide was a sham, and
for three years she hunted him down, and
finally restored him to his home and bus
mess. A third case of which | had a
personal knowledge was that of a dry
goods merchant who was absent twenty
years and who returned wealthy, made
himself known to his wife, who had been
married in the mean time, sought out his
son and gave hin $40, 900, and then went
his way as he had come. He said he had
left home because he wanted to; had not
married or cared for another home, and
liked the life of wanderer much better
than any domestic ties. These instances
go to show that the csse of alleged mys-
terious disappearance may sometimes be
accounted for without any necessity of
any presupposing robbery and murder.
