Mrs. Greeley, the wife Of the COM
mander of the Arctic expedition, who.
with his few remaining companions
is on his way home, passed through
the Union Depot this morning en- route
to Portsmouth, N. H., where the hus-
band and wife will meet after separ-
alton which both though would be for
ever. Mrs. Greeley comes from Califor-
MIA, where her parents live, and is ac-
companied by her brother, Mr.. L. G.
Nesmith, Of San Jose. and her two
daughters: one and the other 6 years
of ago. She is petite brunette, with
a pleasant race but with traces of care
and suffering still plainly visible which
even the glad news of her husband
safety cannot wipe away at once. Few
people at the depo; knew who the little
woman with the two pretty little girls
was and hence she was not troubled by
CURIOUS persons. She chatted pleas
antly with Post-Dispatch reporter for
few minutes and spoke of the ankle
ty she had been through and of her joy
at hearing that, Lieut.. Greeley was alive.
She said she scarcely knew what to
think for long time, and was tremb-
ling between hope and fear, but that
finally she had gwen him up as dead.

kissing In China.

An American naval officer who had
spent some considerable time IN China
narrates an amusing experience of the
ignorance of the Chinese maiden of the
custom of kissing. Wishing to COM
plete conquest he had made of a
young mel jim beautiful LADY, he invit-
ed her-using English words. to give
him kiss. Finding her comprehension
of his request somewhat obscure, he
suited the action to the word, and took
a delicious kiss. The girl ran away
into anotherroom, thorougly alarmed
ezclaiming, Terrible man eater. 1
shall be devoured." But in a moment,
finding herself uninjured, she returned
to HIM saying: II would learn more of
your strange rite. Kees me-" He
knew it wasn't right, but he kept on
instructing her in the rite of kee-es me,
until she knew how to do 1t like a ma
tive Yankee girl. And after that she
suggested second course, remarking
"Kee.es me some more, seen jine,
Mee-lee-kee !" (Anglice American, and
the lesson wen on until her mammals
voice rudely awakened them from their
delicious dream.
Notwithstanding the alleged infre-
quency of the custom of kissing in the
Chinese dominions we learn from the
Chinese poems, so happily translated
by Mr.. G. Stent. that the people of far
Cathay are quite as susceptible to the
spell Of physical beauty as the people

TEXAS FEVER.

In two large shipments Of cattle which
reached Chicago on the the 29th a
large number were found dying ordead
from some disease. The disease is
supposed to be the much dreaded
Texas fever, and an examination oi
the intestines of the dead cattle by
professional experts seemed to confirm
the supposition.
A large herd owned by Maj N. A,
Adams, at Manhattan. Kansas, are
badly affected with the same disease
Fifty head out of two hundred and
twenty have died. This herd is from
northwest Texas, and were purchased
at the Kansas City stock yards.
A special from North Platt, Neb.
says the fever has broken our among
herds at and near Brady Island. in the
western part Of the state.
Active efforts are being made by the
authorities to stamp out the disease
Adair county stock men should be OF
the alert in this matter and keep 9
close watch on their herds.

A matter Of very great importance
to the various counties in the state
and particularly to St. Louis county,
because it has been discovered here,
has been satisfactorily determined in
the last few weeks, through the persis-
tent and well directed efforts of Circuit
Clerk Wolff. Section aoea, article IS.
OF the Revised Statutes of 1879, pro.
vides that no costs incurred by per.
son convicted of crime or misdemean.
or, except fees for board shall be paid
by the state or county. There has
been considerable doubt in the minds
of lawyers and others as to the correc,
construction to put upon this section,
und it is matter of fact that all
through Lycett's clerkseip. the county
OF St. Louis paid the board of all
prisoners sentenced to the peniten.
tiary from that county, some fifteen in
in number. Judge Wolff looked into
the matter and became convinced
that the State should. in obedience
to the section alluded to, pay for the
board of those convicted and sent to
the penitentiary, while those upon
whom jail sentence was imposed
should to look.to the county for board

ened him in his belief and the result
proved that he was correct. When
the four convicts, Smith, Wilson, White
and Hicks were taken to Jefferson City
few weeks ago, talk was had with
the auditor. and the result was that he
sustained the opinion of our circui,
clerk and included in the check of $4Sc
for costs was the board account oi
$225.5o. for the quartet mentioned,
and which was paid to the jailor direct
There have been three other parties
sent to the pen. whose board has beer
paid by the county, since Judge Wolf
has been circuit clerk. and steps viii
be taken to recover the amounts SC
paid out by the county from the state
treasury. It is estimated that IN III.

Buffalo, N. Y. This journal has an
article which wish you to read. en,i.
tied "a Terrible Tale," and if you
think proper give il a place in the
GRAPHIC. ltmay. and no doubt does
have some Objectionable features. and
will be considered by those who do
nGt comprehend the enormity Of the
crime, to be an attack on Mr.. Cleve.
lands private character, and such an
act Of the Republican party would be
horrible for the zelots OF democracy to
contemplate. But why should we re-
gard their feelings In this matter. when
the whole moral element OF the country
demands every danger to be signaled.
And such precaution is especially
necessary when the leaders OF the Dem
ocrat party, with the knowledge of
these acts as told by the 7slegraph,
will stand before the people Of the
United States and say as did Mr.
Lockwood at the Chicago convention,
"Be not deceived, Grover Cleveland
can give the democratic party the elec.
toral vote of the state Of New York
next November. He can, by his
purity of character, by his purity Of
administration and by his fearless and
undaunted courage to do right" DEM
ocrats have as much decency, or should
have, as Republicans and ought to re-
joice that there was person who dare
in the interest of morality and public
decency. expose such base and i'm
moral conduct in an individual who
seeks the highest position in the gift Of
the American people. In this matter
the Telegraph does, not ape the char.
acters who were sufficiently numerous
in the Democrat party to paint in one
night the No. 329 on every railway
car, telegraph pole, bulletin board,
side walk and fence in the United
States, covering their malicious work
with the darkness of the night. No,
the Telegraph conceals nothing, bu.
gives names, dates, references and
details and invites an investigation.
see no reason why the public should
not know these things and also know
the results of an investigation. If the
Democratic party ever makes one.
This knowledge of an existing history
given in detail, the biaek deed of this
great reformer is undoubtedly the
cause OF no small number of thinking
Democrats in the state of New York,
refusing to support the democratic
candidate. Let those who would
throw up their hands in holy horror al
such an exposure of indecent acts o.
his majesty, blindfold their eyes and
stop their ears, better exclude them
selves altogether for time. than fol

Liberty Township items and Notes

The season for growing crops still
continues good with abundance Of
rain.
The oats harvest is about through
with but the grass cutting is but COM
menced, the farmers claiming that the
grass is growing and making more
hay at this time than earlier in the sea-
son.
Vegetables Of all kinds are in great
er abundance that for years, every
family having enough and to spare.
The corn is still Cd the boom and
promises an abundance.
Cattle are fat and about ready Tor
market and We expect buyers here soon
to exchange the filthy .lucre for the
stock and thereby make the farmers
happy.
Parties coming into this neighbor-
hood to buy stock would do well to
call on H. Snyder Of Rlngo's Point. as
he has some to sell and always keeps
himself posted as to where stock can be
bought.
Miss Matte Taylor who was sick SO
long is now able to ride out in the
buggy with her father; it is to be hoped
that she will soon be restored to per.
feet health. The health of the neigh
borhood is as good as could be ex-
pected at this season Of the year.
There is dearth OF news this week
the people being too busy to report il
anything happens.
Passing near New Baden Springs on
yesterday and being hot and thirsty,
we called and refreshed ourself at the
crystal flowing fountain, with that God
given liquid that slakes the THIRST and
does not inebriate, What a contrast
this place now presents with the same
1iyear ago. Then all was life and &C.
tlvity, now the place is deserted and
lonely. Some one it seems has tried
to fill the spring up with rock and sand
and thus obiiterate it from view. but in
this they have failed, for nature with
her irresistible force propels the foun-
tam to the surface, and 1t flows clear
and sparkling over the pebbles and
sands down the ravine till the waters
connect with the waters of the classic
swine river. Thence they journey
together until they reach the majestic
Charlton thence onward they flow to
turbid waters of the Big Muddy, thence
onward to the great father of waters
and are finally swallowed up in the
embrace of old ocean. But hold on
here 1 am getting romantic
and as the boys say "am likely to ge,
ofen my eggs" Nature at the springs
has made some improvements. The
little valley in which the springs are
situated is covered With with beauti
full covering Of grass and flowers, anc
the trees are clothed in their brighes
green, but the houses are looking
bleached and neglected and oh, sc
lonely. We think If some one with
the necessary amount of capital ant
business enterprise would take posses
sion of the place and fit it up in good
shape it would make one Of the fines
pleasure resorts in the state and woulc
be paying institution.
| Politics still dormant, only one can
didate having visited us as yet. Ou
lone candidate says he feels as happy
as June bug on a sweet potato vine
and imagines he sees a brigh
! star twinkling in the near future.
