We think the st. Louis Republicans
suggestion to the Missouri Legislature
in regard to change of our present
road law is good one. No doubt it
would result in general improvement
in the condition of our public roads if
the law were changed SO as to leave it
optional with the several counties as
to how they may provide for keeping
up their roads. A general law may
be such as to apply beneficially to some
counties and to others differently. The
citizens of every county are supposed
to be in favor of good roeds, and will
be disposed to favor any good plan for
keeping them in proper shape. The
people of a county know better what
kind of a measure or law is needed to
keep up the roads in their own section
than body of men at Jefferson City
containing in it's number only one of
their citizens. So if a law is proposed
in the county for road purposes and
the people adopt it, the same is pref
ty apt to be the best thing for that
county. The Legislature may make
very good provisions for roads in North
Missouri, and yet fail in their purpose
as far as other parts of the State are
concerned.-C Cash Book.

A correspondent of the London CIti-
zen tell of ga little comedy got up for
the amuseme nt of the Prince of Wales
at the house of a well-known lady who
is frequently honored with visit from
the Prince and his little personal court.
On that occasion the hostess whom we
will call Mrs. B., was informed that
the French Minister, NJ. Waddington,
was in Cowes, the scene of the little
comedy. The Prince of Wales ex-
pressed desire to meet his Excellency
at dinner, and an invitation was at
once forwarded and promptly accepted.
After dinner NJ. Washington, who ap-
peared to have dined sufficiently, be-
gan to discuss with Lord Charles Beres-
ford the comparative merits of the En-
glish and French natives. From words
the combatants got to blows, and Mrs.
B., to her profound dismay, beheld the
representative of the French republic
set upon in her drawing room in the
presence of the Prince of Wales. Lord
Charles literally hustled M. Wadding-
ton out the room. The fight was re-
newcd in the garden, and finally the
unfortunate French Minister was
bundled over the garden wall, whence
he presently returned with his coat
torn. Mrs. B. set herslf to bring about
a truce, and the Prince of Wales, con-
trolling as well as possible his bolster
Gus laughter, joining in the good work,
the French Minister nd Lord Charles
Beresford shook hands, and to all out
ward appearance became good friends.
This story travelled far enough to reach
the French Embassy at London, and
NJ. Waddington made formal COM
munication to Earl Granville, with the
result that explanations were forth
coming showing that Billy other
wise Bull Rum Russell, who in early
days won fame as a special correspond
ent of the Times, had for the amuse-
ment of his Prince personated NJ. Wad-
dington, and had suffered himself to
be hustled over a garden wall"

ering, were called to dinner, the little
folks went out to the fire to have some
sport. While sitting at the table, a
little brother of the unfortunate girl.
came running to the house, and said:
Mary is on fire." Ignatius Meyer
was the first who reached the little
girl, but did not well succeed in extin-
gushing the burning clothes of the
child, which then ran to Barbara
Bohnest, who was no more successful
than Meyer. Next the child reached
its mother, who succeeded in extin-
gushing the fire, but too late. She
was badly burt, and died in about half
an hour afterwards. The sympathy
ofthe entire community is extended to
the bereaved PARENTS

Two Editors and a Governor.

Governor Crittenden's very innocent
message to the legislature has precipi-
tated triangular contest of words that
promises to be CORY with grammar, if
not actually red-painted i'm blood. Edi-
tor McCullagh declared it was mag
nificent message and its author the peer
of any Democrat that ever saw daylight
amid the sagebrush of Missouri. Edi-
tor Hyde characterized the document
as "dull, prosaic and commonplace"
Governor Critteden, sitting amid the
dead eloyer-blossoms of the cow-past-
ure at Jefferson City, perused those di-
vergent comments, the while his face
flushed with mingled pride and anger.
Then he remarked aloud to reporter,
in the monosyllabics of nun from st.
Barbe: my time is almost up. I have
done all could for Hyde. 1 have ev-
er been mindful of his future. The
State has no school for the weak-mind-
ed. but [ have recommended in my
message the establishment of an asy-
lum for inebriates, and he may have
reason to think more kindly of me be-
fore he is taken from this world" This
seems to be lurid sneer at a worthy
editor and a good citizen, who, in his
capacity as journalist, did not hest
tate to criticse the public message of a
governor who, in his capacity as chief
executive, has ratified around like a
pumpkin-seed in gourd.
But the handsome governor pays his
compliments to the Gk0be-DeDaOcraI in
this fashion: "Its editor and myself
have long been personal friends, and
know that he is always and at all times
a gentleman, and this thoughtful, gen.
tlemanly action is entirely in keeping
with his character. and will always be
cherished by me-" And the great edi-
tor. smiling grimly at the busted Pallas
inst above his sanctum door, chuckles
at the thought that, under the very
shadow of the dreamer from Patmos.
he. has received certificate of good
from the Democratic govern
or of Missouri, and has wisely given it
in his own great newspaper.
This is the Alabama" period of the
crisis. What the outcome may be, only
those may surmise who are familiar
WITH the chivalric passions of the west,
and the .tEvery Man His Own Letter
Writer.n If there is to be blood, let it
be the commingling of carmine and in-
digo. Red lemonade won't do. Theat-
rical fire is fraud. Cards are irrespon-
sible things at best. Interviews are
ALWAYS unfaithful and unreliable.

John Clark living at Brunot accident
ally shot himself with A Remington
revolver last Sunday. The accident
happened in this way: Clark and Hen

lot to shoot crippled mule belonging
to Goad. Clark had the pistol but did
not want to shoot, and insisted on Goad
doing the shooting. In passing the
pistol to Goad, Clark carelessiy had
the muzzle turned towards himself,
when by some means it fired, shooting
him through. The ball struck him
just under the floating rib and passed
out about eight inches around towards
the back. DIR. Petit of this city was

Chas. Wunderlich. who has a hoop

miles west of Harvielle, returned from
st. Louis one evening last week, with
money to pay eff his hands. He start
ed on foot to his factory, and a little
way out of Harvielle he was overtaken
by couple of men, who asked him If
he had received the money to pay off
his hands. Wunderlich replied that
he had in manner that indicated that
he intended to keep it too. Their ac-
tons were SO suspicious that when they
rode on ahead of him he went out into
the woods and hid behind log, where
he could watch their movements UNI
observed himself. After riding short
distance ahead they stopped as though
waiting for him, and then they turned
and came back. AS they passed near
where he was concealed he heard one
of them say, "He has escaped US; told
you we ought to have used him when
we had him." Wunderlich managed
to make his way back to HarvielIe
without losing his money, where he
remained until the next morning be-
fore venturing out to his factory.
