is a young merchant of Jefferson
CITY. He makes q most efficient
clerk and a measure tape without
losing an inch. His knowledge of
legislative matters may not be of the
highest order but his appearance in
the ball room Is q signal for smiles
on the faces of all young ladies. His
bonor is irreproachable and if a pair
of gloves be wagered he pays, if so be

Ellis is popular with bis young
friends, but I once met a gentleman
in the States who did not carry the

full youth so palpably as does Mr..
Ellis, and this eastern man was not
candidate for the highest Office in
the gift of a county's people-he was
too modest and acknowledged that
although he was twenty-four-Mr.

bic of handling the affairs of state.

i. The origin of the word "charlatan" is
given by a German paper as follows:
I'm the olden time, when the doctors,
sitting in their studies, weighed the ills
of their fellow-man and searched the
depths of nature for remedies, they were
notin the habit of riding about; their
homes were hospitals, and they did not
leave their patients. At that time a
genius of a doctor, who knew more
about calculating for himself than med
icine, made his appearance in Paris.
His name was Latan. He procured a
small one-horse wagon(char) upon
which he packed his remedies for all
possible affections. With those he drove
through the streets of Paris, crying out
his wares and looking for patients. He
was the first driving doctor, and soon
became renowned. Whenever he came
along, the population greeted him with
'fVoila lie char de Latan." This was
soon abbreviated to ''Charlatan, which
at that time denoted a driving doctor.

PANTRY SCHOOL.

-
I'm thinking of the school-house, Ned,
~ here, sitting side by side,"
We studied Webster's spelling-book,
And laughed o,er Gilpin's ride;
And traded jack-knives now and then,
When not engaged in play,
And got our jackets nicely warmed
How often III not say.
I'm thinking of the roadside green,
of every tree and nook
And how in sultry hours of noon
We swan in Pantry Brook;
And when upon the easement came
The rulers tattoo loud,
How each of MS in passing in
TOOL of his hat n bowed.
I'm thinking of the benches rude,
And desks, 20 broad and steep,
On which we left our autographs,
In letters wide N deep;
And ct my first new writing book,
Without q stain or spot,
Sc soon adorned, on every page,
With many an of-hand blot.
I'm thinking of the "old slough" Ned,
Whose waters dark ami cool,
So often avedo ur sunburnt feet,
While on the way to school;
On whose warm rim the tadpoles Lay,
In spring time. many a score,
While golden lillios richly bloomed
1nisummer, near the shore.
Tn thinking of the forests boar
Where frs and cedars grew,
And tired feet sank in MOSES damp
While hunting gun to chew;
And of the pleasant meadows, where
On many a scattered tree,
The r~ed-winged blackbird sang in spring,
His love song, '.Quonk-a-ree."
Tn thinking OF the hour-glass, Ned,
With sands so white and fine,
On which our teacher smiling gazed,
As neared the hour to dine;
But C elmy sands are wasting, Ned,
For often the children say,
While fondling them upon my knee:
Papa. you're growing gray"

Justice.

1t would be hard to parallel in the
world of business a finer sense of right
and honor than that exhibited by the
mother of a burglar who was sentenced
in Philadelphia the other day to a term
in prison, This mother came all the
way from Baltimore after his conviction
to make a restitution of nearly three
hundred dollars stolen by her son, tax
ing it from her savings stored away in
an old leather bag, and handing it in a
roll of bank notes, all of small denomi-
nation, to the Clerk of the Court. The
money was handed to the Judge, but he
declined t. receive it. "Take it back"
he said, land tell this poor woman that
the payment of this money will not save
her son from prison. The law must be
INDICATED. Tell this lady this as kindly
as you can, but tell her; for she must
know just what she is doing" When
the Courts words were conveyed to the
waiting mother she wept hard, but said,
"Oh, I understand, 1 didn't hope to save
my boy from prison. pay this money
because I want to do what is right.
Justice is justice."-Golden Rule.

The superiority of Wells, Richardson &
Co.'s Improved Butter Color over all 9TH
ers made, is again demonstrated by its rec
ord at the Autumnal Fairs. The test of
practical use is what tells the story, and
Agricultural Fairs, hes in the fact, that the
judges in these cases are regular farmers,
who know what their needs are and what
will supply them. Wells, Richardson &
Co.'s Improved Butter Color, which has
taken first premium at all fairs where ex-
hibited, is put up in a vegetable oil so pre-
pared that it can not become rancid, a most
important property, the lack of which is
fered for sale. 1t does not color the butter
which is unattained by many others; and
being the strongest is the cheapest Color

evinced an intelligence that delighted

a visit to the great needl

During a visit to the great needle
mandatory at Kreuznach, last year,
the Emperor William, on examining a
bundle of superfine needles, expressed
his amazement that eyes could be drilled
in such minute objects. Thereupon the
foreman, asking for a hair from the
Emperor's beard, instantly bored an
eye in it, threaded it, and handed it
back to the astonished monarch. Queen
Victoria possesses a needle on which
scenes from her life are depicted so mi
nutely that a microscope is required to
distinguish them. Both of these curios-
ities will be displayed at the Interna-
tional Exhibition of Needlework at
Sydenham next July.

Clara Siedle Kaltenback.

On the afternoon of December 22d,
1883, Mrs. Clara Siedle Kaltenbach,
wife of Celestine Kaltenbach, died, at
her home in Potosi, after a few brief
weeks OF illness, at the age of 48 years.
The deceased was born in New Kirch,
Black Forest, Baden, in Germany, Aug.
18th, 1885, coming with her parents. 10
this country in early womanhood. and
remaining for a time at Erie, Penn,
when on the 9TH day of Feb. 1854, she
united to Mr.. Kaltenbach in marriage.
Since that happy event, thirty years
have been passed in our midst in the
unbroken enjoyment of domestic felicity
and tranquility. 1t was at home in the
bosom of her little family, and in the
circle of her immediate friends where
her virtues shone with brightest lustre
and her goodness of heart was most APP
preciated. Here her affections and feel
ings which were those of the true wife
and devoted mother, ever pure, ever
warm and unchanging, were like the
waters of the placid stream which flows
from the heavenly mountains, clear,
tranquil and never failing; giving joy
and gladness TO all that came within
their sweet benign, christian influence.
The shadow of death is fearful at all
times and in all places-no household,
however guarded its every entrance
may be from its intrusion, is free from
its whitening gloom; but when we wit
ness the kind, dutiful, loving mother
disappear from the bosom of her family
into "the pale realms of shade. the
sunshine and happiness of that home
seems forever gonc--each shrub, each
flower, each pleasant retreat-every
familiar place and object that we were
wont to love and admire in her person,
and now but the source of bitter sorrow
and unavailing grief. The hand that cul-
tured them is motionless and cold-the
eye that watched their tender growth

j. ]. BARRIERS Paintings.

Many of our citizens do not know that
we have living in our midst an artist
who is rapidly growing in national re-
pute. Mr.. j. j. BARRIERS lack of local
''notoriety' only evidences the truth of
the off repeated saying, "a prophet Is
not without honor save in his own coun-
try" 1t would be just as true to say
''painter" rather than prophet. Our
art and beauty-loving readers should
not fail 10 improve the present excel
lent opportunity of visiting the exhibi-
ton of paintings at the salesroom of
Messrs. Kershaw & Krauss, and there
learn what Mr.. Barber is as an artist.
The collection embraces some dozen
canvas creations and displays the style
and range of the artists work in man
ner that should be as satisfactory to the
painter, as it is pleasing to the public.
1t has been our pleasure to watch the
triumphal progress of Mr.. Barber from
the time he first spoiled canvass to
the present day, when his works are
sought for and honored at every promi-
nent exhibition in the art centers of the
East or West. No artist ever more
honestly or thoroughly grew. He has
toiled on persistently and patiently I'M
til he has won his place in the very
forefront of American competitors.
Never was a high place held with more
integrity or independence. This is the
age of clap trap and advertisement.
