Amer,can EooIl.hness.

From the sedalia Bazoo.
The life and letters of Nellie Hazel
tine, the young woman who
died in st. Louis af-
ter having been reigning belle,
are to be given TO the public. Ii
would seem that American foolish
ness never knows where to stop, for
although dead, there are plenty ofpeo-
pie who will remember some of her
silly escapades while living, aud with
out the cave episode, will consider
the history of her life incomplete.
Why not let her rest quietly in her
grave? She was a beautiful woman,
and she is dead, just as tens of thou
sands of other beautiful women, and
this is all there is TO it. The attempt
to give her further notoriety, is to say
the least, in poor taste.

reference to his failcre to get the
appointment of Supe, 'ntendent of

w. c. Hendricks. nephew of Vice

Shacklefield-I am disappointed in
not getting the Superintendency of
the Mint, but that disappointment is
not without its silver lining. The
very great unanimity of feeling in
the State in my behalf, and the
many kindly acts and expressions in
my interest are very soothing to my
disappointment. l wanted, needed
and expected it, but failing does not
change my feelings for the Admins
tration or the opinion l have always
entertained for its head-that is,
that President Cleveland wanted to
do for the best, and I would not in.
sinuate but that he has. 1 have not
right or inclination to kick, and will
as strongly as eyer hope and work
for the best interests of the country

Hell.

Whatever may be said of the revis-
ion OF the Bible, i: has at least
served TO enrich the English Ian
guagc. An example is afforded by
taking the familiar topic of hell, for
illustration. No less than three
other synonyms are now afforded for
expressing tho modern idea Of hell
MT place of eternal torture, but
simply the graye-and either of them
~ much moro elegant than the only
word formerly representing the or
thodox hell, whose use was circum-
sciibed to the pastor in mild expos
tulation from the pulpit, or barely
admissible for occasional use by
man when he put up stove-pipe, to
be employed in vigorous denuncia-
tion Of tho solder beaded tinker who
had been NO wanting in philosorhi-
cal knowledge as to expect that two
given solids could by any means be
made to occupy tho same place at
the same time. The word, like the
bottle tabled poison, was intend
oil only for occasional use and on
extreme emergencies, but now thanks
TO the progressive age in which We
live. we have not only hades and &C.
henna for tho esthelic, but sheol for
sticklcrs after the accuracy sane
toned by the latest guess, with the
plain old Saxon word still left for
occasions which require special
emphasis. The revision has likewise
robbed hell Of half its terrOrs,
changing place Of torment to one
Of eternal rest. A little further re-
vision and Bob Ingersoll will have
TO find some other hobby to ride at
$500 per night.
