Ths Denison Gazette of last Sunday, con-
tains the following regarding this delecta-
bic piece of humanity:
"Mr. Ellis left here on Tuesday night en- route
for Missouri, but stated that he would return in
about three weeks. Before he went away he cave
our editOr-in-e chief the names of several nartias
and requested him to write to them concerning his
past record. Mr.. Murray did so, and Saturday
morning we received the following letter from Ino
i. Teel. lawyer of Mt. Vernon, Mo-. dated
august TN, ls>i' The letter reads as follows:
Mr.. VERNON, No., August 7th, 1884.
B. c. Murray esq.
DEAR sIR:-YOurs of the 5th inst at hand and
duly noted. Mr.. George Ellis did not desert his
family. he mSrried a widow lady and il appeared
they did not agree well together and she left him
and commenced suit for divorce, but she does not
charge him with any serious Osense and the neigh
bors are much for him in the affair as they are
for his wife. Now, never heard Of any bigamy
case against him, and he meyer was in tue business
OF eneing young girls away from the path of recti-
tude and virtue in this country. / do not UNDER
stand why the charges appear fn,the sedaIia BAZoo
IL there IS anything wrong with Mr. Ellis, then I
do not know anything oft. His reputation here is
above all such charges,
1 am, sir, yours respectfully,
JOHN T.TEEL."
Teel is Ellis attorney and his letter
should be taken with considerable allow
ance. IL is true that ''they did not agree
vel" for Ellis wife would not give I'D her
property to him. Mrs. Rinker, since Mrs.
Ellis, did lose about $1,000 in money ana
personal property by the scamp, and be-
cause she would not give all she had, hence
their falling 'to agree" Mr.. Ellis then
applied for divorce.
The Denison Journal of the 18th inst.
says:
"GeOrge d. Ellis hes been at Caddo, I. T. several
days, and was there Y terday. When Ellis lelt
Denison ne declared thar he was going to Sedalia
Mo-, to attend TO a Sgit with Mrs. Kicker WHY
cid he stop at Caddo? The truth of the matter is
Ellis had no idea of going to Missouri. He is pre-
sumably waiting TO see how matters turn up in
this city. We can assure Mr.. Ellis that the evil
dence Is so strong against him that he will never
be bic TO do busress in this city again. and that il
will be a waste Of time for him TO return here"
Indians had better look out or the fellow
will be trying to marry squaw before he
gets out of the country. No matter how
buggy" squaw might be. she would be
queen IN comparison with Ellis.
Pass him around until he reforms.

A SERMON.

1t was stated recently by a lecturer
before the Presbyterian Women's For
eign Mission Society that the whole Of
Christendom gives "only $4,000, 900 a
year, or six-tenths Of a cent each, for
the conversion of the heather"
It seems to US, remarks an exchange,
that six millions a year is far from an
insignificant sum. 1t is, indeed, an
O contribution toward the con-
version of the heather, and must rep
resent a vast amount of individual self
denial. Instead of speaking contemptu-
ously of this magnificent offering, Mrs.
Knox had reason for astonisment that
the great flow of money to spread the
gospel in the heather countries contin-
ued to be SO great, despite the stubborn
refusal of heathendom to be converted.
Rather let her ask, what are the results
accomplished by means of SO vast an n
nual expenditure? Are these millions
so laid out as to produce the best effect,
or is much Of the money ~squandered be-
cause it is devoted to the maintenance of
the missions Of rival religious denomina-
tions and the teaching of more less con-
ficting religious doctrines? How many
genuine converts are actually made yearly
among the heathens? Besides, pagan
ism is now spreading throughout Christ
endom at a most alarming rate. Infdel-
ity is menacing the Church in Europe
and America as neve before. 1t seems
to us, therefore, that Christians have
their hands full at home. Take New
York, for instance; a vast majority of
the people are no more followers of the
precepts of the Christ and no more be-
levers in the fundamental doctrines of
Christian theology than the inhabitants
Of Calcutta, Pekin or Yokohama.

FRESH.

The fashion in bridal tours has not
changed very radically of late years.
Stray couples now and then have been
crazy enough, through love doubtless, to
get married in balloons, and others have
put a romantic glamour about their en-
trance upon that stage of existence which
is seldom, if ever romantic, by being
marred in a wood, or at midnight, or by
an alderman instead of by a clergyman.
But the honeymoon tour has held its
W dreary way, without change, down
all the long echoing aisles of time. The
young couple invariably take an early
train, and confine themselves like ire
sponsible ~lunatics to one another's soci-
ETY., until, when the conventional tour is
finished, it requires several weeks Of
square, honest, everyday life to induce
them to feel like lovers again. 1t is no
doubt within the purview of a beneficent
Providence that in the early future the
terrible, heart-breaking system of bridal
tours now in existence shall be modified
and Modified. As an instance of a change
in this direction, we note the case OF a
romantic New Yorker and his bride, who
will make their bridal trip this Summer
in a canoe. The canoe is to be made OF
purpose for this trip and will be nickel
plated in its appointments, with hand
painted paddle and a sail of silk. They
will carry with them all the parapherna-
liza for camping along the picturesque
banks. They will sleep in the moonlight,
bask in the soft radiance of sunshine and
gaze on the romantic lanscapes that gave
inspiration to Washington Irving and
Fenimore Cooper. We do not know
whether this change is an improvement
or not. 1t will require a great stretch
of imagination for any one to imagine a
loving couple in a canoe. being very
happy. When they camp at night and
the romantic bride, instead of resting in
the usual palatial mansion, finds herself
compelled to warm up a poor supper over
a bad fire which the romantic bridegroom
has undertaken to make, we surmise, the
first u~pbraiding of married life will begin,
unless they are indeed very, very roman
tic. A bad supper and the necessity on
the mans part of making a fire, we are
compelled to say, will subject romance to
a very sharp test. But the couple in the
canoe will, at least, not be tied together
in a room with the door locked like the
usual couple. They will have air and a
view, and can stop and speak to people
without restriction, and that far, at least,
they will have great advantages. And
as they sit at different ends of the canoe,
when the bride declares that she must
sit in his lap, and jumps up on her way
to do SO, she is absolutely certain to cap
size the canoe, so that there will be a
nice, little romantic episode in the tour,
which may bind two hearts the stronger.
The canoe enterprise is original. and
promises to be very effective. If love
o~utlasts it, both bride and groom will
feel all the happier.

SAN Francisco, May 10.-The Chroni-
Gle this morning publishes an interview
with several leading Mexican merchants
regarding the contract signed recently in
the City of Mexico between Emilio Gull
lermo vogel and Salvador Malo and the
Mexican Government for the establish
ment Of q line Of steamers on the west
coast of Mexico, Central America, and
with China, Japan and the Philippine
Islands. The contract was for Is years.
BY the proposed Q line Of steamers il is
expected that the trip from New York to
Oriental parts will be reduced three
days. The company's vessels are obliged
to make IL Oriental trips . year.
The subsidy for each trip is $4,000, ana
for every Asiatic laborer landed in Mex
leo the Government offers the company a
premium OF SOS, with a provision that
the steamers shall never carry less than
200, or over 1000 passengers, unless
with the Governments permission. 1t
has been arranged that these two subsi-
dies, that of SIS, 900, and S65 for every
Chinese, shall be paid with so per cent
OF the Custom-houses duties where the
steamers touch. This is to hold good for
the first three years, and for the following
years 80 per cent Of the duties on i'm
portations.
Defrauded His Employers.
SAN Francisco, May 10.-Fromm d

ago, when Stohn left their employ. A
few days after he left that firm he went
into the same business, and associated
himself with James Frellocher, under the
firm name Of Stohn d Frellocher. They
opened their new store with Q large and
expensive stock, and they sold goods be-
low cost, which excited the suspicion Of
Stohn's former employers, who, by the
aid OF detectives, ascertained that the
whole OF the goods comprising the new
firms stock had been stolen by Stohn from
his former employers. Stohn has been
arrested.

made to one firm, one to each individual
member. The failure is attributed to the
depression Of business and the stoppage OF
the mines at Tombstone, the bank at that

$780, 600 per day, on account OF the miners
Withdrawing their deposits. The assets
are about $3.50, 900; liabilities, $500, 900.
