FROM LADDONIA.

Correspondence to the Ledger.
Laddonia, Mo-, Oct. 9Th, 1884,
Last week was a big time in Laddo-
MAS history. On Monday and Tues
day nights Captain Shields lectured
on the "Philosophy of Human Hap
p~iness." On Wednesday night DR..
Hughey of St. Louis spoke on prohi-
bition, and also formed a prohibition
club.
On Thursday we had the grandest
Democratic rally ever held in Laddo-
Mia. The people began to gather
early, and when the q O'Clock train
arrived, the town was full of people.
The train was met by the "Cleveland
Guards and the Vandalis band play
ed some beautiful music to greet Col.
Hutton. T. B. Buckner and Mr..
KEENAN, of Mexico. Then about fifty
ladies formed in procession headed
by the band and carrying Cleveland
banners marched to the pole, the
Cleveland and Hendricks flag was
raised and then all marched to the
speakers stand. Soon after the train
from the east came bringing a large
crowd from Farber, the "Cleveland
Guards" of that place among the
number. They e all well drilled
and performed their parts well. Col.
Hutton was then introduced to the
audience by E. C. Hermon. Before
the Col. began his speech, Miss Fan
ME Scanland was introduced to him
and in a neat and appropriate speech
presented to him in behalf Of the
ladies', a bagde on which was tue
names of Cleveland and Hendricks,
| Marmaduke and Hutton. The Col.
responded by returning thanks to the
ladies for the interest they manifested
and wished "they could all vote fol
him on November next" He then
spoke, followed by Mr.. Buckner and
others. The platform Of the party
was read by MI. KEENAN, Of Mexico.
At night the procession was formed
and each one carrying a lantern they
marched through the town, making
grand appearance. There was also
speaking at night.
On Friday Capt. Shields l~evtured
Oh Love, Marriage, &c.
On Saturday night there was al
old fashioned temperance meeting a
the Christian church which reminded
me Of the class meetings held lonf
ago by the Methodist. After tn,
lecture by the Captain many spok'
In favor of prohibition. On Sunda,
morning the Captain spoke on tn
"Bible Arithmetic" and it was tn
best discourse in the house, Tin ou
humble opinion.) He spoke again Of
Sunday night to a large audience.
Lots Of Iaddonians are going t.
the st. Louis fair.
Somebody's Darlings are going t.
marry somebody this week.
Thel carpenters are all in a RUS
and the town is booming.

Gall.

A travelling agent who gave his
name as j. W. Anderson, and who
was driving a fine pair of horses to a
$500 buggy and picked his teeth with
a gold tooth-pick, stopped at John
Daniels last week to stay all night.
He talked very loud and never men
toned a sum of money under five
figures. In the morning he did not
ask John how much he owed or John
in spite of his big talk, would have
told him nothing, but as he started
out to his buggy he told John he had
no money but would get some out OF
the mail at Mexico and leave it there
for him and then drove off. John
went to the house and told his wife
that the fellow was a shark and took
him for a id Missouri sucker,
but he would show him better. He
hitched up aud followed the gent to
Mexico. The man acted very suspi.
cious as he did not drive his rig into
town but hitched his team out in the
edge of the city and walked in. He
stayed in town a few minutes but die
not leave anything for John as be
promised. John watched him and
as he slipped out to 60 on his jour
ney by taking a circuit of Mexico
John headed him off and talked tt
him like a Dutch uncle. The party
acknowledged he had money and was
on the beat. John said he would
have given him a good humping bu'
the fellow begged SO. His suspicious
actions would lead one to think ht
did not want some one to see hi
team.

James G. Blaine to bride Mr.. Multi
gan into a surrender of the damaging
Little Rock letters. The following is
that portion of the letter which re-
feas to the attempted bribery:
"In April or May of 1880, Blaine
sent word to have me meet him at
Fifth Avenue Hotel. He then au-
thorized me to get the letters from
Mulligan, pay $1,000 if I could not
get them for less, and then wanted
Mr.. NJ. and myself to go to Europe
and remain until after the election,
all at his expense. Mr.. Mulligan de-
clined the offer. He said Blaine had
stolen his letters in Washington, and
he never should have what he had at
any price. Yours, ETC.,
WARREN FISHER,
July 10, 1884. Windsor, Vt"
MI. Kobbe made some stirring re-
marks in reference to the letter, con-
GLIDING as follows: "Is not this
meeting at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
at which Mr.. Blaine was branded as
q thief and q liar, a companion to that
famous meeting in Washington, when
he went down ON his knees to Multi
gan, and, by fraudulent representa-
tons, obtained possession of the first
batch of these now famous letterss"
Jack the Buffer.
One day this week one Of those big
feeling, big headed political mug
wumps who prowl over the earth,
coming from and going where no mar
knoweth, happened up to the South
ern bank Of this city. He talked
like he was q capitalist and "a from
New York. He said he had come to
Mexico to bet $500 or more on
Blaine that he had heard there were
were some foolish Democrats in Mex
leo who wanted to bet on Cleveland,
and that he had come to the bank to
learn who the men were who wanted
to bet and if they had any money.
The bank folks went on with their
work, paying no attention to the
gents braggadocio and gush unit
he talked so much that Redman Cal.
laway thought he did not want to bel
and did not have money to bet will
for he could get all he wanted in The
east. So Red. stepped out to fine
some one to bluff him. The frs
person Red. saw was Jack Hayden
} He told Jack just how the land lay
and by the way Red. could not have
found a man in town who could &c
off a bluff better. Jack walked in t.
the Southern bank where the betting
capitalist stood and said in q yer,
emphatic tone of voice as he begal
, filling out a cheek: 81 learn that yo1
8 want to bet $500 and upwards o.

CAN this time Jack was filling out

suffered and finally said he did nc
j want to put up the money in Mexie
e but in New York. Jack asked him
|, our banks were not good and he sal
yes, but he wanted all of his bet
placed in New York. As a matter Q
e fact he had no money to bet and Wa
talking to hear himself talk. A ma
would have to be a cyclone who coul

New Exposition Features.

The action Of the Board Of Manage
ment in deferring the opening until
President Arthur can inaugurate the
exposition is warmly approved by the
community. His warm support of the
exposition is appreciated all over the
South, and the management decided 1t
would be a source Of intense disappoint-
ment to the people II opened without
him.
The delay will enable the delinquents
to get into position and avoid much OF
the confusion incident to the opening Of
expositions.
Director General Burke reported to
the management yesterday that If they
would roof the park over, 2i7 acres, and
give him 60 days, the applicants for space
would fill IL.

franciscan FPiaPs.


From tho Texas Monitor
The Franciscan order is reviving in
England with the revival there Of Cath
olicity. There were once 80 Franciscan
friaries In England, and 1t is a hopeful
sign that new houses Of this brother
hood are gradually springing up. In
zeal and propagation Of the Gospel the
Franoiscans are not to be surpassed by
any laborers In the Lords vineyard.
They have given martyrs to Morocco,
and preached the true faith In the
Steppes Of Tartary and in far China and
Armenia before the end Of the thirteenth
century. Their ardor led them to Abys-
siDia, where Christianity of kind still
subsists, and to the. banks Of the Congo
long before Napier, Of Magdala, or Hen
ry NJ. Stanley were ever dreamt of; they
penetrated with the cross and its mes
sage to Bosnia and Bulgaria, India, Bra
I'll, Peru and Mexioo;. and such was the
reliance placed In them that In 1882 the
then occupant Of st. Peters chair,
Clement VII, promulgated bull hand
Ing them over the guardianship of the
holy places. That sacred trust they
continue to exercise at Jerusalem to
this day. 1t Is more than six centuries
since England welcomed Angelo OF Pisa
and eight others, sent to her shores by
the patriarch Of Portiuncula. They
landed at Dover in 1920, but formed their
first friary at Canterbury, and another
soon afterwards at Northampton. Two
Of the friars made their way to Oxford,
and planted the Order there in the par
ish Of st. Ebbe, as we read in a roman
tic narrative In Dugdales Monastic0n,
and thence spread the pious corporation
In London, to Coventry, In fact, all
over the island from Bodmin to Bristol,
from Ipswich to Newcastle, and even to
Anglesey and the Isle of Man.
