thousand signatures to petition to have himself hung. That he did not hit far wide of the mark in this statement is indicated by recent occurrence in Texas. In a suit at law one of the attorneys, John w. Duncan, had occasion to argue that no reliance could be put in petitions, which, he said, were signed perfunctorily and without the slight est sense of responsibility. The opposing counsel characterized this argument as ab- surd and even idiotic, and it is said the court and jury took the same view of it. MT. Duncan lost his case, but resolved to vindi- cate his intelligence. He drew up petition to the court, solemnly praying that Luke Howard, who is described as being Zone of the most respectable and enterprising citi- zens of the place." might be forthwith hanged. He circulated the paper among the best people and when he rose in court to read it to the astonished judge it was shown to be signed by every county officer and by fifty prominent business men, including the brother.in-law and father-in-law of How ard
 MT. Muybridge, who is we'll known as a photographer of moving animals, is at work in the Geological gardens in Philadelphia photographing some of the animals there. He says It is astonishing how ignorant ar tists are on the subject. While Rosa Bon heur can paint the texture of horses skin so that you want to stroke it, her represen- tation of the same horses movements is ab- surdIy incorrect. Meissonier is the same. He is great man, and an eminently fair man, and while I was giving the results of some of my experiments before some 200 gentlemen in Paris, he said in the hearing of them all that if he had to paint his ''1807'' over again, he would alter it in accordance with my discoveries. He said nothing, though, about giving Mrs. Stewart back the $50, ,00O which her husband paid for an ana tomieally absurd picture. Sir Frederick Leighton, president of the Royal Academy told me that when he first saw my pictures they made him laugh, so at variance were they with artists notions of animal motion. Then he said he studied them and stopped laughing. The Greeks, with their wonderful clearness and rapidity of vision, knew about animal locomotion, and their sculptures show it. The American Indians show in their pie lures of horses that they know it.

California has glorious climate, but there is a man in Aphus in that State who up to the time of General Grants death, had never heard of him.
 The colored people of New Bedford, Mass achusetts, had memorial meeting in honor of General Grant the other evening, at which addresses were made by several olergymen. One of the speakers electrified the assembly by this declaration: believe that when such names as Hannibal shall have been lost in the vortex of revolution the name of Ulysses Simpson Grant shall shine like the morning star in the military diadem.
 A novel plan for bridge is being consid- cred by the London authorities. It is for 8 bridge across the river Thames, below London bridge The length, as contemplated by this plan, will be SS0 feet; the waterway will be obstructed by two piers only, leaving clear way of 200 feet in the center when the draw is open. These piers will be crowned by towers about 200 feet in height, and in which will be located machinery for lifting the bed of the bridge to either side for the passing ships and steamers. This constitutes the general plan of the structure. The two piers are connected by an upper roadway, of good dimensions, over which pedestrians can pass when the draw is open, hydraulic lifts be- ing provided for their ascent and descent. The system of educating girls in Vienna has merit They are kept at their studies l until they are fifteen years of age. They then go through course of teaching in the pantry and the kitchen under some member of the family, or sometimes under trained cooks for year or two years. Thus they learn to do everything themselves, and to know the value of things long before they commence housekeeping on their own ac- | count; and though they may never be re- quired to cook dinner, they become inde- | pendent of cooks and servants The Aus | trian women are most affectionate wives and mothers. They are as accomplished and learned as any English governess, are as wit | ty in society as Parisian, and are some of
 the most beautiful women in Europe. l A very interesting experiment in dealing with sewage has been made at Buxton. Eng | land, on the river Wye. The sewage Of the town, amounting to about one hundred thou
 sand gallons, was making the small river filthy. At the town is natural chalybeate
 spring which has been flowing into the river
 and also making it disagreeable. The ides of mixing this with the sewage was suggest ed, and by doing this and adding little lime
 almost complete puriication has resulted The river is cleaner than it would be if al
 the sewage were stopped and the natura
 spring left flowing into it. The cost of th'
 work is equivalent to a tax of seventy cent
 on $1OO and if the deposit remaining is fount
 merchantable for fertilizer the net cost will b
 still less.

Me Couldn't Leave the Game.


 ssThe late Senator Nesmith made nation al reputation" said an Oregon man, "while he was ir the Senate. The world rang with laughter at his speech opposing Sumner in the purchase of Winnie Reams statue of Lincoln, even as it wept when years after he spoke his noted eu1ogy over Summers dead body. He might have been returned to the Senate had he been more of politician and less of-wen, less of Jim Nesmith. The eau GUS were all ready to elect him, the cards had been fixed, and party of the ringleaders had come from the caucus to bring him to the meeting to have him make 8 rousing speech to the caucus. The delegation found him engaged in playing little game of seven up. They told him what they wanted, and he replied that he could not leave. They could make him Senator if they wanted to. If they didn't they could go to the devil. The delegation went off angry. They re- ported Nesmith's remarks, and by little exaggeration reused up such a sentiment against him that Grover was elected and he was left at home. A year or so after thif Nesmith was appointed Minister to Austria but the Senate did not confirm him. H, was member of the Forty-second Congress and after his service he went back to hi | farm in Oregon"

 Yes, All!

All our facbric Gloves are marked down. We have a few too many. We bought too many fine gloves, and we now must sell them by making them the same price as cheap gloves, which are not worth half as much. To simplify matters we make of our gloves but four lots. 1st, all our finest gloves, fine silk and all lengths, black and colors, which were $1.oo, SIPS and upwards, are made .75c. 2d, all gloves not in the first lot Goo, 75c and upwards, are put in at SOC. sd and 4th, all our other gloves, ranging from BOG to Goo, are divided in to two lots at 25c and soc.
 Nothing is kept out. Better pay us 25c, 38c, soc or 75c, and get gloves worth having, than to pay the same price for cheap grades.

The evidence so for as collected by
Mr.. Cox, has not been made known cN-
cept in fragments. 1t was stated yes
torday by gentleman from Neosho
county that on one occasion shortly be-
fore the death, frankie Morris gave her
mother u glass OF milk which made her
for u short time quiteill Theory is that
poison had been put in the milk, but
that the effect of it was destroyed by
the milk itself. It is next alleged that
frankie Morris gave her mother II glass
of beer, she herself drinking from the
bottle. This beer caused Mrs. Poin-
sctt almost immediate pain and in n
day or two she died. The poison had
been obtained, so it is alleged, in Kan
sas City, when frankie Morris was ar
ranging for the additional insurance,
and it was administered not alone at the
time the beer was drank, but ut various
times before and after, and in minute
doses. 1t is charged, in fact, that the
water given the woman in her last mo-
ments to quench the terrible thirst
which was upon her was only an added
assurance Of death.
This is substantially all that could be
learned about the case as il now stands,
What the line of defense will be against
such horrible charge is not known,
The case will be called this month.

Special DlSpatch To the Democrat.
JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, July 13.-Af-
ter remaining in session until 3 o'clock
this evening, the Board of Prison ln-
spectors finally arrived at the conclus-
ion to locate the Branch PGnitentiary
at Kansas City. The decisive vote
stood: Walker and Boone for Kansas
City, and Soibert for Cape Girardeau.
Mr.. Scibcrt never once weakened, but
voted for the Cape all the time on the
iifty-eight or more ballots which were
taken. 1t has been evident that Mr..
Walker was determined to stick to Kan.
sas City, while Mr.. Boone favored Lou
isiana. He would not change his vote
to the Cape. This made it certain that
Louisiana or Kansas City would finally
receive the prize. Mr.. Boone seeing
no other way of ending II matter that
considering his poor health, has been q
source of worry and anxiety that was
telling on him, cast his vote for Kansa.
City.
Mr., Louis Houck, of Cape Glrardeau
who has been working hard in the in
terest of that city, takes the matter
with apparent good nature. He says
he has expected it for several days, He
thinks mistake has been made, but
says he has been disappointed before,
and does not propose to let this worry
him.

rance ON the life OF his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Poinsett, of NeoSho county, Kan

Hurd added to this insurance on her
mothers life the sum of $4,000 in the

self here while she was temporarily
staying in Kansas City. All the poll
cies were payable to Mrs. Hurd. Soon
after this Mr.. and Mrs. Hurd were sep

Nothing is more absurd than that. |
believe that the happiness of c;vili2a-
