Political Prospects in Missouri

The proposed amalgamation Of
the elements opposed to the demo
cratic party in Missouri is one Of the
most unpromisirg political suggest
ions cf which We have any recollec-
ton. The plan seems to he, or 10
have been, to unite republicans,
ereenbackers and prohibitionIsts, and
present ticket to contest the field
with the democrats. There are
several reasons why the project must
fail, if it has not already failed. The
elements are essentially incOngruIOus.
The republicans are. of course, to
furnish the mass the voters. These
have hitherto been largely Germans
and persons who are influenced by
Germans. To fuse Germans and
preenbackers and germans and plo-
hibitionIsts would be about as easy
as to mix oil and water. With nell
ther of these eccentric political creeds
could the real republicans of this
state be generally united. And this
| obstacle would of itself be fatal to
! any combination OF consequence.
But the greenbackers and prohibit
1onlsts have no especial affinity.
/ Their leaders are not drawn together
by auy other consideration whatever
than the offices which are to be tllied'
! These furnish sufficient motive tC
the n,auipulators. but are OF very
little concern to the sincere men who
are ureentackerS and prohibitic mist;
from principle Finally, there !:
NOT leade: in the republican rank
who is not 50 involved III faCtlona
strifes. or who is not so distrusted Q,
a large portion OF the party as 10 h'
Dowerless to unite it on any policy
The most active republican leaders

the party's hest interests, and are $

Daniel Boonc's Whisky.

During conversation with u gentle
man, and while relating accounts of old
times, he told an incident in the life of
Daniel Boone, the famous explorer of
Kentucky, which probably has hereto
fore been unpublished. He said that
when Daniel Boone and his party were
surveying the dark and bloody
ground" they heard tho Indians, and
rs they were on the warpath they be-
gan to devise means to escape death
They had made two chops on tree
for line. Daniel had quart of
whisky, and no said: 1--WE must do
something with tho whisky or the In
dians may catch us and get drunk and
kill us all. The last tree that was
chopped had hollow near fork, and
Daniel Boone put the quart of whisky
in the hollow. Forty years had passed,
and the question came up about that
spot, and Daniel told them they could
tell by the quart of whisky in the tree.
The tree was found. but had grown
large and the hollow had grown up,
but old man Boone said, ''Cut it down
and the quart of whisky can be found,
aud the question would be settled
whether that was tho spot in dispute"
The tree was fellcd and split open and
the bottle was found, but tho whisky
was gone--had evaporated in the forty
years time, it Is supposed. SomerUille
