Discharged for Political Reasons.

ST.. Louis, Sept. ia Sedaia special to the
Republican says During the last two weeks
several of the employees Of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad Company have been discharged for
taking too active interest in the reelection to
Congress of Representative Heard, to whom,
it is understood. the company is violently op-
posed On the day of the primaries, at which
a majority of Heard delegates were elected, the
heads of the different departments of the Mis-
souri, Pacific shops handed to the employees
More tickets. and informed them that the
company desired More to be nominated The
men, not wishing to lose their positions, voted
their tickets and were retained in the company's
employ. Master Mechanic McCabe, however
refused to do so, and was discharged. Much in
dgnation the affair is felt by the citizens in
this city"
Vice-president Hoxe, this morning, to ascertain
the cause of the discharge of the men at Sedalia
who were said to have been dismissed on ac-
count of political reasons. He said he had no
knowledge of men being discharged for the
above reasons, and intimated that there must
be something very wrong with a newspaper spe-
cial correspondent who could not make sensa-
tional story out of q commonplace occurrence.
A telegram from Sedala says the story pub
lishsd in the st. Louis Republican and Kansas
City Times to-day that men employed by the
Missouri Pacific railroad had been discharged
because they voted for Mr.. Heard in the con-
gressional primaries, is entirely untrue

STORY OF A BAVARIAN GIRL.
Two Sisters Enticed to America by Priest
and Made Prisoners in Convent
Special to the 1ndianapolis JournaL.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 15-Francsca Maui,
a pretty brunette of eighteen summers, came
here from Chicago few days ago and is now
working in a tailor shop. She has remarkable
story to tell She lived with her parents in
Freysingen, Bavaria, where she formed the ac-
qnaintance of Rev. Karl Horns, a Catholic
priest. According to her story, he painted to
her and her sister the life in America, and
especially that of a teacher in ladies' SEM
inaries, in such glowing colors that
both girls came here. They were received at
the Dominican convent at Racine. in July, 1884
She alleges that they were forced to stay and
become uovitiates against their will, their money
about $200-was taken from them, and that
their hair was cut in spite of their protests
They were kept close prisoners, but her sister
Barbara eventually escaped to Chicago, and
went from there to Fort Wayne, where she
found employment in a hospital Upon the
instigation OF her sister, her parents addressed
themselves to the Sister Superior of the convent
and forwarded still more money for Francisco
but it was kept away from her. She recently
escaped by adroit means and went to Chicago to
search for her sister, but was unable to find her.
She thinks now that her sister is here, and after
finding her intends to bring suit against the Sis
ter Superior at Racine, for detention aud recov.
cry of money alleged to have been taken away
from her.

to that party in trying to saddle upon the Repub-
licans the financial shortcomings of the johnson
administration. His calling to the mind of his
hearers the Sentinels plant, last January,
ABOUT oao Democratic appointments, also delight
ed them, but his closing fine phrase of sarcasm on
the Democracys claim to simplicity with, 'I
wish you had been at Washington last winter to
see that simplicity" caused burst of apprecia-
tive laughter. The feicitous hit at Envoy
Sedgwick did not lessen this merriment, nor did
applause drag when he mercilessly showed the
fallacy of the Democratic party being the sup
porter of business and manufacturing hooms
through it's tariff for revenue only. The audi
ence showedits great delight when he said, '"The
Democratic party has of all things shown its in
ability to do anything"
His discussion of the issues of the State cam
paign, especially the gerrymander, the iniquity
of which he analyzed with unsparing truth,
time and again received the heartiest approba-
tion. His reference to the liquor question re-
newed the enthusiastic scene at the State con-
vention. AS he drew near the end of the great
speech. parting cut at the administration
caused the heartiest response. 1t was when he
said Cleveland had shown himself greater than
Washington only in the number of his vetoes.
During his peroration the immense audience
was held by his eloquence, the last sentence be-
ing followed by tremendous burst of cheers
and plaudits
The double quintet gave another stirring
campaign song, but before this a great desire
was expressed to hear Mr. Thompson. He in
sisted on having the song, happily quoting the
familiar lines of Shakespeare about treason,
stratecem and spoils. After the song the audi
ence insisted, and the venerable statesman re-
piled that the hour was too late for further
speeches, and besides, they are not necessary
after the eloquent and mastery presentation of
facts TO which we have listened. He then dis
missed the audience. About the hotels the
success of this, the formal opening of the cam
paign, was the talk of the hour.

4 Few Words on Education.

Editors Abbeville Meridional:
by your request | will give Won a
few thoughts on the subject of ednca-
ton, a subject which is. or should
bes dear to the heart Of every one
interested in the rising generation.
Holy writ tells rs to train an a child
IN the way he should 90. and when
he is old he will not dcpart from it.
The word educate" Primarily means
TO lead ont, and hence, to develop
the powers Of the youthful mind,
and one to whom is intrusted the
training Of u youth, occupies a
position Of unlimited responsibility.
1t is to be feared that many teachers
do not realize this responsibility.
and if they d put in the time pre-
scrlbed 10y law, thrash the children
il they do not come up to their re-
quIrements in point of lessons and
behavior, and, above all, draw the
monthly wages at the proper season,
think they are wonderful teachers,
and are serving their God. their
country, and their fellow-man to the
fullest extent.
An unlimited use of the rod was
once considered an Indispensable
element In a successful teacher, and
| believe the idea is still entertained
by some; bot fortunately our edaca-
toys and parents, in many places,
are beginning to realize that driving
is not leading, and many have even
gone SO far as to Danish the rod
entirely from the school.room. /
state the above, not to say that [

but the teacher who can command
the respect Of his school. and lead
them with Kindness as they struggle
over the rough places TO be eneonn.
tered IL ascending the hill Of knowl,
edge, is far more Of an educator.
and will be far more successful. in
making men and women. in the true
sense, out Of his papiIs, than will he
who controls by The fear of the lash.
Iormiliou parish is blessed with
an efficient school hoard-one which
has the good of the parish at heart.
and which is doug all it can to ad
rance the school interests, and it
becomes the people Of the parish to
mold up their hands in the noblel
wo,k.
The first Monday in next month
is set for the opening + tie schools,
ara every one who has a child to
bring up should, if possible, take
advantage Of the opportunity thus
offered and send to the nearest!
school, and then build up yonr
schools and prepare the little one for
an enlarged degree Of usefulness
when their time comes to take part
in the active scenes OF life.
Aud now. with o few words to the
teachers, | will close: Dear friend,
yours Is a noble calling; do try and
elevate it, and let it elevate Won to
a proper appreciation OF your duties
and responsibilities. Think what
You have in your banda number of
