He Agreed That 1t Would.

In front Of a Detroit butcher shop
yesterday q butcher sat cleaning a
revolver. 1t was a rusty old ''Colt''
which had not been used for years
and was to be put in order and traded
off. A shoemaker came along direct.

st never saw a revolver without
wanting TO handle it. Let me look
at that weapon. Ali I'm satisfied
now that it doesn't contain any stray
bullets. Do you suppose you could
hit my foot at that distance?"
Certainly l could. Now, if she
was loaded I'd take a dead sight like
that and pull the trigger and
The shoemaker jumped two feet
and yelled like an Indian, and when
he came down he danced and kicked
and galloped around until people
thought him crazy. 1t was only af-
ter a crowd had collected and corner
ed him up in the shop that any one
found out the trouble. The butcher
had put a bullet along the sole of his
foot close enough to draw blood.

CAMPAIGN YEAR PROSPECTUS.

THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN, for the cam
paign year of 1884 will improve upon its
past honorable record for ability, enter
prise, reliability, cleanliness, devotion to
Western interests, and in all other es-
sentials of a great political. commercial,
industrial, social Family Newspaper. Tho
leading Democratic paper of the West, if
not of the United States, it will earnestly
advocate the principles of the Democracy
and support its chosen standard bearers. The
friends who have heretofore been won by its
honest and fearless course will find it al
ways the same safe and trustworthy eoun-
selor. Being an important factor in the
work of political regeneration, it will ex-
peet to be a necessary auxiliary TO every
political speaker, and to every Demoerati
club in the Mississippi Valley.
The Forty-eighth congress will be a most
Important body. and the long session must
develop in large degree the issues upon
which the presidential casvass of 1884 win
be conducted. The revision of the tariff or
a basis of revenue rather than protection;
the Improvement of American shipping
interests; the silver question; the DISPOSE
tien of the Indians; the appropriation of a
sufficient amount for the improvement OF
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers-these
are the principal matters IN which the peo-
pie OF Tie est anu SDuti are sitdlif CUu-
cerned, and to them the REPUBLICANS
Washington Geographic news will be
largely devoted.
Faithful in its political service, the Re
PUBLICAN will at the same time be Away:
fair and truthful, being first of all and above
all things else a newspaper. giving each
day a complete, thorough and exhaustive
survey OF the whole world, covering every
| thing of value or interest to its readers,
The REPUBLICAN will not emily give all the
news, but spare no pains to print it in the
most Ineligible and convenient form.
The WEEKLY REPUBLICAN will be fount
an epitome of the entire news of the week
No other weekly paper covers the news o
the whole world so entirely and so clearly
and unlike any other weekly. it bears tn,

The fact that it has q larger circulation

that it has no equal.

PennsyIvanians in Tennessee.

The Rev. David Strang, of Lin
coin, Lincoln county,ssTenn., writes
Commissioner McWhirter, from
Pittsburg, Pa, where he.is attending
as a delegate of the General Assem-
bly, of the United States Presbyte-
rian Church, that the feeling of the
northern men in that section to-
wards the south, and especially in
Tennessee, is very different from
what it was when he visited Penn
sylvania four years ago. He says
not only has the interest increased
and feeling of great friendliness
growing up toward the southern
people and the confidence increas-
ing in the good intentions of the
people of Tennessee, but they say
confidently that if we would put our
credit on a firm basis fand adequate
ly advertise our great resources we
would soon gain our share of north
ern men, who, for various reasons,
commercial, sanitary, etc, ARE look
ing abroad for homes.
The writer then gives a list Of
twenty names of persons who have
applied for the Hand book of Ten
nessee, issued by the department of
agriculture, and adds that all of them
will examine the book with inter
est, and he will send another list in
a few days.

Freaks of the Hurricane.

The people who suffered the least
were those who took refuge in their
cellars.
When the storm struck the lake,
water was thrown in the air seventy
five feet.
Ben Fox's celebrated orchard,
three miles from Racine, Wis, has
not one tree standing.
A house standing on High street,
Racine, before the storm, is missing
and cannot be found anywhere.
A barn at Racine now stands on
it's gable, being upside down, but
not broken or started in any joint.
One man put his wife and child
rem in a ditch three feet deep, and
from this retreat saw his house
swept entirely away.
A lady named Tollie, in a house
at Washington, Me-, having baby
in her arms was killed, but the infant
was unhurt.
ALI the shore farmers said the
cyclone explodes the popular belief
heretofore that such storms never
visit the lake regions.
At North Point, a man and his
whole team were lifted up in the
cyclone and dropped again some
fifteen feet; no damage was done by
the wind, but the wagon was in
jured when it struck the ground.
The whole country outside the
track of the storm in Illinois has
become a great relief society; the
doctors are attending the injured
and the men turned out en- masse to
corral stock and put up the scores
of miles of fences torn down.
Among the peculiar incidents told
of the cyclone is that the house of
Matt. LAWN and his wife, an aged
couple residing on the lake shore
near Racine, was picked up and
hurled into the lake, leaving them
sitting at the table on the floor in
the room uninjured.
James Keipel, living in a house on
the lake shore at Racine, saw the
cyclone coming and started for the
house of Mr.. Hilker to get into the
cellar, his wife and child being with
him. When about half way across
the lot the storm caught them, and
Mrs. Keipel fell and lost her hold on
the child, which was carried rapidly
toward the lake. A large Newfound-
land dog of Mr.. Hilker's ran and
caught the child and held it until
the danger was over, thus saving it
from being carried into the lake.
Mr.. Keipel grasped his wife and
saved her.-American.

When Garfield lay dying, the vic
tim of a crazed assassin, the nation
stood by his bedside and felt his
pulse. Later, when Queen Victoria
sprained her knee the world felt the
shock, and in sympathy all went
down on their knees to pray for her.
So we feel now when our honored
friend, Esq. Bugg, lies apparently
between life and death, and all
heartily sympathize with him in his
struggle with dread disease. As
before stated, his is kidney trouble
and the doctors express grave
doubts of his recovery. We saw
him Saturday morning. He was
perfectly rational and talked freely.
He expressed little hope of recovery
and a perfect resignation to die. He
was still the same genial, warm
hearted man now grown so scarce in
ournworld. He has the prayers of
our entire community for his re-
covery.
Mrs. George T. McLaurine was

Mrs. T. H. Hewlett, at Huntsville,

daughters, Mrs. Esq. Hanserd, at

Gale Thomas, who is the efficient

All are making good time. He has

green colts with only a month or so
training. This proves what we have
so often claimed-that this section
could beat the world for good saddle
horses, and all they need is develop

The closing exercises of the
Lynnville Academy will take place
Friday, June 18th. The school is
rendered the Presbyterian church,
and the exercises will be had there.
The public is very cordially invited.
For want of proper facilities, the
usual concert will not be had, which
is quite a disappointment to the
amateurs. Nevertheless, the exer-
cises will be entertaining. We learn
that near the necessary amount of
money to build the new academy is
subscribed, and it is intended to
complete the building at once.
The pike is again agitated to
Cornersville. We have a proposition
from several good men to make a
free pike to old Lynnville this sum
mers by the road hands grading and
the neighbors hauling gravel, just as
they did at Buford' S, where they
converted a half mile mud hole into
one of the prettiest pixies ever seen,
with no actual money cost to any
one. Gentlemen, this road impera-
lively demands good coat of gravel
and if all will respond it can be
made fine road without any money
outlay. You will be called on.
