DEH1LS DEED.

One of the most heartless and bru-
tai acts that ever occurred in Ran
dolph county, TO the best of our
knowledge, took place between
Moberly and Renick yesterday
Sunday morning about 2 o'clock.
A little bootblack, between twelve
and fourteen years of age, and said
to have come from Omaha, Neb.,
boarded the east bound passenger
train with the hope of beating his
way to st. Louis, where he evident
ly intended to engage in bootblack-
ing, as he had box and brushes
with him when found yesterday
morning. He sat down on the
platform of one of the coaches and
i when the train was travelling at a
very rapid rate, the negro porter
discovered the little fellow and went
out on the platform. He asked the
boy in very rough manner what he
was doing there, and where he was
going? The boy told him that he
wanted to go to st. Louis, but he did
hot have any money. The porter
told him he could not ride, and,
without the least warning whatever,
kicked him off the platform right in
the dead of night. and the train went
on its journey, while the poor little
boy lay in an unconscious condition
with an ugly cash over his left eye
and his left leg broken in two
places.
Fortunately for the boy, there
were several coal miners IN the city
from Elliott, and two of them started
home about three O'Clock. They
were walking down the NJ. K. & T.,
and when they were near the farm
of Col. Quayie, their attention was
attracted by the groans of the boy,
and they went over to the Wabash
track and found the boy lying in the
ditch at the side of the track. One
of the men remained with him while |
the other gentleman came back to
this city and informed the authorl
ties of their discovery.
Deputy Sheriff Jim Wallis snd a
railroad man went out after
the boy and brought him to Moberly.
He was taken TO the residence of
Mrs. Henry, where a physician was
called and dressed the wounds of the
little sufferer A dispatch was sent
to st. Louis ordering the arrest of
the negro, but at this writing we are
unable to state whether he has been
arrested or not.
LATER-THE NEGRO ARRESTED.
Since the above was written, we
learn that the boys name is Willie
Holmes and that he came from
Omaha. Also, that the negro por-
5er who was on the train was arrest
ed and brought back to this city.
He was summoned before the grand
Jury this morning. The boy Is una
ole to say whether it was the negro
potter who kicked HIM off the train,
or the brakesman. However, the
public may rest assured that the
case will be thoroughly investigated
md the guilty party punished to the
full extent of the law. The little
fellow was doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances at
noon to-day. -Moberly Monitor.

THE STRONGEST DRINK.

Water is the strongest drink. 1t
drives mills; it is the drink of lions
and horses, and Sampson never
drank anything else. Let young men
be teetotalers if only for economy's
sake. The beer money will soon buy
house. If what goes into the
mash-tub went into the kneading
trough, families would be better fed
and better taught. If what Is spent
in waste, were only saved against a
rainy day, work houses would never
be built. The man who spends his
money with the publican, and thinks
the landlords bow and Chow do you
do, my good fellow?" means true
respect, is poor slmpleton. We do
not light fires for the herrings COM
fort, but to roast him. Men do not
keep pct-houses for laborers' good,
if they do, they certainly miss their
aim. Why, then, should people
drink ''for the good of the house?"
If spend my money for good of
any house, let it be my own, and not
the landlords's. 1t is a bad well In
to which you must put water; and
the beer-house is bad friend, be-
cause it takes your all, and leaves
you nothing but headaches.
He who calls those his friends who
let him sit and drink by the hour
together, is ignorant-very ignorant.
Why, red lions and tigers and eagles
and vultures are all creatures of prey
and why do so many put themselves
within the power of their jaws and
talons? Such as drink and live riot
ously snd wonder why their faces
are so blotched and their pockets so
bare, would leave off wondering if
they had two grains of wisdom. They |
might as well ask an elm tree for |
pears, as to look to those habits for
health and wealth. Those who go to |
the public house for happiness,
climb the tree to find fish.-Spur-
geon.

\ HoRRLRLE SIGKE

Kansas City, Sept. 28.-An en-
gineer on the Wabash train this
morning tells terrible story. When
near Montgomery his engine struck o
Eaan,. tearing out his heart. He says
that as tine heart lay on the ties the
.puIsations were easily perceptible,.
and the poor sufferer, from whom
life had not yet fed, moved his head.
From letters found on the ,man's
person his name IS Fred Cunningham,
and from Peru, Ind. One letter was,
from some girl presumingly a dear
friend, warning him against drink.
Another was written by himself. In
it he says that he he has not touched
drink for quite while. The re-
mains were conveyed to Montgomery.

IN HONEST DEMOCRAT

Ex-senator Thurman said in his
speech at Cincinnati on Monday
night, in response to serenade
"You come not to rising sun; you
come to setting sun, low
down in the horizon, soon to ink
out of sight forever. 1 shall never
again hold office; never be able TO
reward friends and punish foes.
You come without hope or fear on
that score. / have always lived a
Democrat and 1 shall live and die
with full faith in Democratic prinei-
piles 1t has been my aspiration to
so live that when 1 am under the sod
my epitaph might truthfullY read !:
Here lies an honest Democrat.
Judge Thurman is now several
years beyond three score and ten.
He has served his party well for
more than half his life. He has
been, as he says, an honest Demo-
crat, extreme in his view, earnest in
their advocacy, but honest withal.
He has been prominent in all Demo
cratic councils since the time of Lin
coin. He was a recognized leader
in Ohio during the war, and in the
years Immediately following the war
he was more conspicuous probably
than any other Democrat, except
Pendleton and Vallandingham. The
Republicans of that day were in the
habit of speaking of him as the most
dangerous man In the Democratic
party, because he was honestly and
earnestly bourbon, or, rather, hon
estly and earnestly a state rights
Democrat, with talent and a reputa-
ton for honesty that gave him and
his cause considerable prestige.
Those Republicans who opposed him
through all those years of trouble
and struggle will be able write his
epitaph as he desires, ''Here lies an
honest Democrat"

4 CURIOUS OLD LlnJE.

There are numbeEs,of ourIons old
laws still in existence in, Missouri,
one of which in particular viii give
the Prohibltionists pain. In the ear
Iy part of the Mexican war, Absalon
Hughes, of Galloway county, was
wounded by a cannon ball at the
battle of Sacramento. He was struck
below the knees and had both legs
broken. The general assembly,
which convened in 1S49, passed a
special law granting him the privi-
lege of keeping dram-shop at Ce-
dar City, Galloway county, during
his life, without being subjeca TO say
license, This was passed as arec-
ognition Of his services. Mr.. Hughes
at once opened saloon, and has
never yet closed it. He is now an old
man, put is not as badly crippled as
one might expect considering the
terrible wound he received. The
Downing law does not interfere with
his special privilege. Although he
has been running a saloon in Cedar
City for over thirtY-seseR years, few
people outside Of his neighborhood
know that he is exempt frow paying
license.

Mr.. Lincoln and the Reporter.

The only war Governors left alive,
says the Washington Post are: Curtin,
Pennsylvania; Kirkwood, Iowa; Blair,
Michigan; Ramsey. Minnesota; Sprague,
Rhode Island; Gregory Smith, Vermont;
Sanford and Low, California, and
Berry, New Hampshire. met some
fifteen of these worthless once, all to-
gether, under peculiar circumstances.
1t was in 1868, and | was reporting
events in Washington for a New York
paper. Mr.. Lincoln invited the Govern
Ors of the Northern States to meet him.
Most of them came. That morning
Governor Buckingham SAID to me:
why don't you come up to the White
House with us? Pm sure there'll be no
objection"
| went up and asked Mr.. Lincoln.
mo" he said cheerfully, ''come right
along. haven't thing to say that I
want kept from the public" So l went
up with Buckingham and sat with the
assembly in the state dining-room.
But | felt a little out of place, SO, not
to be disguised, pulled out my note
book and began to write. care we all
Governors?" asked Governor Morton,
rising and looking somewhat severely
at me.
Il am not a Governor, | said, "but a
reporter"
We'll, don't know about this" said
the Indianian, and rose TO go. Il am

ham, che came with me-
To relieve them and myself from the
embarrassment l was hurTying away,
when Mr.. Lincoln said: WYATT min
ute, young man." And then he stated
that l had applied to him in the morn
ing as to the ACCESSIBILITY of being pres
ent, and he had given his consent.

day that is secret in any sense" he add

Buckingham gave me report that
night.

Presidents Wives.

Washington wrote many and long
letters to his wife. which were full of
affection, but Lady" Washington
thought so much of these that she de-
stroyed them before she died. Only one
escaped-the one in which he announced
his appointment as COMMANDMENTS
Chief of the Colonial army. He begins
the letter MY dearest, and closes it with
the statement that he is with unfeign-
ed regard her Every atfectionate George
Washington. He used several times
In the letter his pet name for his wife,
which was my dear Patsy" and says
he has made will with which ne doubts
not she will be pleased.
John Adams speaks of his wife, Abb
gail, as the source of all his felicity
His marriage with her continued for
fifty-three years, and its only pang
was found in absence and final separa-
ton.
President Pierce was so fond of his
wife that at Sc years of age he resigned
his seat in the United States Senate be-
cause Washington City did not agree
with her health, and four years later he
declined the attorney-generalship in the
cabinet of President Polk for the same
reason.
Gen. Grant and his wife were very
affectionate. DR.. Newman, his pastor,
tells me that each carried constantly
lock of the others hair, and Grant wore
throughout his married life ring which
his wife gave him during their engage
ment. During the generals last sick
ness his fingers became so emaciated
that the ring was taken off for time.
When he was laid in his coffin Col. Fred
Grant put it on again, and he was
buried with a lock of his wife's hair in
his breast pocket.
President Arthur revered the memory
of Mrs. Arthur. Her picture was hung
in his chamber at the White House, and
was by his orders decorated with a
wreath of roses every morning. He sat
in the pew she used to occupy at St
Johns Church while in Washington,
and he gave a memorial window to the
church in her honor.-Fraiak G.. Car

The Trouble They Cause Policemen ut the
National Capitol.

Cranks (says the Washington Starr
are drawn to the Capitol like birds about
a beaconlight. There is an officer placed
on duty up in the dome expressly to
keep them from jumping off Not
day passes while Congress is in session
that they are not at the Capitol Cranks,
newly-married folks, and lovers tend
naturally toward the dome, with view
probably of getting nearer 10 Heaven.
There is taIn in the stairs that is known.
as the kissing corner. 1t is proyerbial
that lovers never pass up to the dome
without stopping there to-take breath.
1t is said that a properly constituted
girl always gets tired when she reaches
that point, and young man was never
known to object. The turn is so stua-
ted that two persons standing there can
be seen from neither above nor below.
1t offers great temptation to rest. The
whispering gallery has become 50 we'll
known that young folks who don't want
their secrets carried to the other side Of
the dome and made public property of by
the echoes are very careful to keep quiet
when they reach that elevation.
Cranks, if they are recognized as such,
are not allowed to go ON the dome, but
they are always hanging around for an
opportunity to slip up. Several attempts
have been made by these adventures to
step out into space in pursuit of eternity,
but as yet only one has been successful.
One man was caught by the tail of his
coat just as he stood ready for a plunge
forward
Il can tell them on sight" said the
policeman to reporter II can tell
when they come for jump, and never
give them chance. There is some
thing in their eyes and the way they
look about them that reveals their pur-
pose. But presume any crank who
got on the dome would feel it TO be his
duty to jump of. So we think it best
not to let any cranks 90 on.
mo, we don't stop lovers, he added,
in response to an intimation that this
variety of crank was not dangerous.
They never have energy enough to
jump off They have to stop at every
landing to rest. Sometimes they make
a good deal of noise about it, The kiss
ing eorner?' Yes, of course, they stop
tHoAe. Out tuc Icd4 genuine dTlIcIe am
satisfied with that They stop at every
turn in the stairs! Let's see, now. Let's
make calculation how many kisses a
real spoony couple who are visiting
Washington on their bridal tour will
get in on round of the Capital. No,
they can't kiss in the elevator; that's
crowded; nor in the gallery. but they
look as if they'd like to. There's the
tomb of Washington under the crypt;
they always put their heads close TO-
gether and weep over that and never
hear you tell them it's empty. This is
a particularly good place, because it's
dark, and there are so many narrow
aisles near it. They'll score half a
dozen before they finally get out Next
is the engine-room, and then the crypt.
After that they get uneasy. It's all light
in the library, and in the rotunda. But
they make up for this on the way to the
dome. Now, just count the landings
and you've got it. But it amt fair to
call them cranks. It's only temporary
with them.

A PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

1t is frequent reply of the supporters
of the head-cramming system of COM
mon school instruction, to the advocates
of manual training. that the community
should not pay for teaching trades.
No one has proposed that it should.
The idea is to fit children to learn trades
as preparation for their life work, just
as other children are prepared to take
classical course preliminary to the
study OF a profession. 1t is argued, and
rightly, that the state or the city has as
much right. and is as much in duty
bound, to teach a boy to use his hands
as to teach him to use his wits. A ham
