The RIGHT KIND OF AN APP
PEAL.

The recent verdict 10 the breach OF
promise case, at Independence, where.
by the plaintiff was awarded damages
60 the amount of SIS, 900, is of inter
est from the fact that 10 the careless
and lax habits of the day, it is becom-
ing the thing for creatures, under the
guise of men, to engage themselves in
marriage to young ladies, and after
seriously compromising them in the
eyes of their friends, to bid them
goodbye end lay in wait for their
next victim.
no man has tie right to obtain the
exclusive society of any woman, in
the masterful way which men general
~ assume, after becoming an accepted
sutton, unless his intentions lead up to
marriage, and when he deliberately
does this, and then walks off without
80 much as Shy your leave" on some
.rif1ing or trumped up pretext,
the woman who can muster the cour-
age to bring suit against him for dam
ages, is the champion of her sex, and
her own best defender.
Many a man whose heart is as IT.
vulnerable as marble TO pity or sym.
pathy for the woman whose affections
be has ruthlessly trifed with, is most
vulnerable in his pocket book, and to
part with al lesst portion of its con-
tents, is a draught of bitterness for
) him which may prove, not alone a
lesson fer his future, but lesson also,
by which others like himself, can be
made to understand that it is not such
aEght and Pleasant thing after all, to
enter into solemn compact Of mar
,iage, and then, when weary of the
{ bond, break it at pleasure.
Not all women however, care TO
: endure the notoriety attending a
= preach of promise case, and prefer to
bear in patience and silence, the part
of Mariana in the moated grange"
and for the these there can be no con.
.demnation, for after all, there are in
stipcts which are beyond control, and
for which custom and training are in
a degree, responsible, but, as was said
before, it is the woman who appeals
to a mans pocket book, and not his
heart, that is the true champion of her
own rights ard those of her sister
woman.

A Consolation.
Dissatch

Post Dissatch,
1t is some consolation to know that
republicanism in Ohio is hurt more
than it is helped by the appeal to
hatred. One speech of John Sherman's
has done more harm TO his party than
can be undoue by a hundred speeches,
and the exposure of Hal.tead's war
record has completely demolished the
fraudulent pretenses of patriotism on
which the present sectional campaign
has been run. After the experience
of the present campaign it is safe to
say that the republican party will
never try the bloody shirt idea again.

She Can't Afford to 60 up In A
Balloon.


ownsville Herald.
We read in the papers that lead
ing business man Of Sedalia went
down to Appleton City and captured
the balloon outfit of Prof White, the
daring young aeroDaut who made
several fine ascensions here a few
weeks ago under very adverse circum-
stances-the weather being just the
wrong sort. He went from here to
Sedalia, under agreement to give two
ascensions there during fair week.
Going in under Encouraging condi-
tons, it followed of course that our
balloorist shared in the general disast,
er that overlook the Sedalia fair,
and this Selling of his balloon is bold
dash by a prosperous citizen to save
something from the wreck. Sedalia
ought not to be hard on a man when
he is down. Has she no mercy for
the stranger at her gates? no human
marrow in her bones, no soul under
her "weskit," no music in her bowels
We all naturally think a good deal of
Sedalia as a near and enterprising
neighbor, but if she values our affec-
