OBITUARY.

Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN
There are those kind friends of
Mary Lou Renshaw Miller, who have
been longing and anxiously awaiting
to receive some consolation through
your columns by some surviving
friend of the departed one.
Mary Lou was born Feb. IL, 1861,
departed this life Dec. 9th, 1885, leav-
ing a husband, two little babes and
other kindred ties, as well as host
Of friends to mourn here early death.
She anticipated death sweetly, only
regretted leaving her dear,companion
and two little babes that will never
know the fondness of mothers love.
Mary Lou was only "a years of age
when she was called home to join
one of her angels that left her a few
years ago. Many of us too sadly re-
member little Eflie's sad fate, of how
she had to meet watery grave, and
by the Lords will went home to the
bright celestial city, to give warm
reception to her loving mother, where
she left her to part no more.
We often think that it is hard to
have the lamp of life blown out so
early, especially when we have such
strong ties as companions and chill
dren to leave behind, and too we so
often see the current of life of the
little ones changed into different
channels by the untimely death of a
mother. The loving counsel, and
kind admonitions are dearer from a
mothers lips than any other. And
many poor mothers child has lost
the sweets of life for want of kind
ness and gentleness, that is felt by
none like mother. Loved ones who
are left behind console yourselves as
best you can. Live and love Mary
the better in her absence, let her
death be timely warning that you
too will one day sooner or later go
through the same ordeal and follow
her on to a fairer world on high,
where parting and death are feared
and felt no more.
"Mourn not for her, the young bride Of the dale
ourgayest and lovelest, lost to us now;
Ere lifes early luster had time to grow pale
And the garland OF love, was yet fresh on he
brow.
Oh! then was her moment, dear spirit for flynn
From this gloomy world, while Its gloom wa
unknown.
And the sweet words, she spoke 80 clearly ii
dying
Were echoed in Heaven by lips like her own
Weep not for her-n her springtime she flew
To maitland where the wings Of the soul ar
unfurled,
And now like q star beyond evening" cold dew
Looks radiantly down on the tears of thi
world.

A LOADED CIGAR.
Liability Of a Master for the Acts
Of His Servant.

Some weeks ago we published an
account of an interesting case, both as
to law and to facts, growing out of
the sale of loaded cigar. The case
has just been tried in St. Louis, and,
on account of its novel nature, has
attracted widespread attention and
comment. The trial took place on
the Doth inst, and the following facts
were given in evidence on behalf of
the plaintiff. John Nolde, the de-
PENDANT, is a wholesale and retail
dealer in cigars in st. Louis, and has
in his service as clerk his son, Is
years old. Some time in November
last customer requested Mr.. Nolde
to procure for him few loaded CT
gars. Mr.. Nolde had never dealt in
them, but promised to get some if he
could. Shortly after this drummer
for a Cincinnati cigar firm was in the
store, and hearing the above req st
promised to send Mr.. Nolde fifty
loaded cigars as a present, and in a
few days sent ON the cigars. MI.
Nolde, on the arrival of the cigars,
gave few out of the box to his GUS
toner, and placed the box containing
the balance in the back part of the
store, instructjng his clerks not to
touch them. His son, disregardlng
his fathers orders, put one of the
loaded cigars in his pocket, where he
already had two others (his father al
lowing him to help himself to cigars
for his own use), and went into the
barber shop next door, where John
Husch was employed, and sold him
two cigars for nickle, one of them
being a loaded QUE.
The object of the boy was to play a
joke on Husch. He charged five
cents for the cigars because he was
afraid Husch would suspect joke if
he gave the cigar to him outright.
The boy then spent the five cents for
apples. In the evening, after eating
his supper at home, Husch lighted
the loaded cigar, being ignorant of its
real nature, and began reading the
paper. His wife soon after perched
herself ON his knee, and a moment
later the cigar exploded. Mrs. Husch
was in delicate condition and faint
ed from the fright of the explosion.
Immediately after this she felt local
pains, and within few days had a
miscarriage. After her recovery she
brought suit against Mr.. Nolde for
$1,000 damages, ON the theory that
her injuries were caused by the sale
of the loaded cigar to her husband by
Mr.. Nodes servant and employee, as
above stated. AT the close OF plain
tif's case, the defendant, through his
counsel, Franklin Ferress, moved the
Court to dismiss the case on the
ground that, at the time of selling the
cigar, the servant was acting outside
the scope of his employment and fol
his own purposes. The Court sus
tanned the motion, and plaintiff tool
non suit.
