RIDERS REMARKS.
The Sc. Louis Politician Speaks of
Major Edwards Illness.

General Billy Ryder, of st. Louis, the
we'll known politician, is in the city for a
couple OF days, having arrived last night
from Higginsville, where he was IN attend
ance at the reunion of Shelby's brigade.
The general was met this morning by a
Ners reporter and Intercepted as to the
condition of Msjor John n. Edwards, edi-
tor of the 81. Joseph GGzette, who was re
ported to have teen stricken with apoplexy
Tuesday evening.
"The newspapers have greatly exsgger-
stsd his Illness" said the general. 81 was
taking with the major at tie depot when
he suddenly reeled and fell to the platform
He was at once removed to the Occidental
hotel where he received medical attention
and sp=nt the night. Yes erdsy morning
he was placed in private conveyance and
taken to Dover, Lafayette county,
where be has numerous relatives, among
whom is his father in law"
"Did the attending physician give it as
his opinion tn II the major had sustained
stroke Of apoplexy%
"No, no. OF course there were all sorts
Of rumors sfloa', bu' the true cause of the
msior's illness was excitement and over
exertion incident to- the days exercises
In the absence of Gen. Shelby, the major
was the hero of the occasion, and / have no
doubt he met and SHOOK hands with no
less than five hundred old comrades. He
is fairly idolized by the people of Lafay
cite and adjoining counties, and every one
seemed anxious 10 grasp him by the hand"
'In proof of the high regard IN which he
is held, need only say that be was impor-
tuned on every hand 10 become a candidate
for United States senator to succeed Senator
Cockrell, and was promised support of
which any man might feel proud. The
major, however, is not politician in any
sense of the wor !, notwithstanding he is
recognized as the brightest political writer
in tue west"
Then you think il will be but a short
time before he resumes his labors on the
Gazette ?"
"a few days rest at Dover will bring
him through ell right. His wife and
children are with him, snd nothing Of 3

Doing Better.

A special election was held yesterday
In the Fourth ward of Sedalia TO fill a
vacancy in the board of aldermen, result
ing in the election of A. w. Sinclair. re.
publican, over Willis Murphy, democrat
by nine majority. This gives the republi-
cans control of the city council, which has
heretofore been a tie. Our neighbor must
do better than this If she ever expects
to secure the capital.-JeferSon City Trib-
aae
As Jefferson City elects nothing but re-
publicans it is to be inferred that the
1T0xne means by doing better to "turn all
the democrats out"

AN OLD MAID BADLY FOOLED.

A Boonville maid, quite old, becoring
anxious about her matrimonial chances,
recently concocted a plsn to deceive a
young fellow as to her age. This was the
way she tried it: The old family Bible
contained faithful record of all births,
marriages, and deaths. This volume the
maiden took to her chamber, and selecting
the birth page, she managed by dint OF
scratching and writing to change the dale
of her birth to period of eleven years
later than what it had legi,imately Gean
recorded. Then tie Bible was placed on
the sitting room table In a conspicuous
manner. That evening came along the
lover. He soon began to finger with the
Bible psgts, and finally reached the birth
record, where and when he discovered, TO
his surprise, that his Angelina was just
one year younger than he. He thought it
strange, as she appeared older. He kept
his mouth shut and continued 10 tumble
over the pages. Next he began reading
the Death list, and made the very astonIsh-
ing discovery that the radiant maiden ac-
cording to the Bible, had actually been
born ten years after the dec ase of her
father. The young man quietly arose snd
bid Angelina goodbye, and now swears
that "eterpal vigelence is indeed the price
of liberty"

of the disturbance can be found in some

The liberals in England have won an
other victory over their opponents, the
conservatives, by forcing them to take
Office without any pledges that the oppo-
sition will not attack their measures. Mr..
Gladstone has promised that he will use
his influence to prevent "factious" oppo-
sition. This is no guarantee of an easy
path for Lord Salisbury. What he
would call "factious," Mr.. Gladstone and
the other liberals might think was perfect

thinks It better to run any such possible
risks than to say to the country that his
party does not feel competent to take the
