The "ROyal Blue Button

A letter from Australia to the St. Louis
Globe Democrat has the following: This
is what they call in England and the
English colonies the royal blue button.
You get one when you are received by
the queen, or if it is in Australia, where
got mine, by the governor-gener who
represents her. It is an ordinary-look
ing button, having on its exposed surface
q groundwork of drab upon which a
ycllowish roset with a blue center is
worked. A metal shank with small
metal disk painted black completes the
article. In the manufacturing they must
cost about forty cents a gross. One of
these is given to each person who has
audience with the governor, and it is
worn in the lapel Of the coat as badge
of the royal favor. The governor-general
is a great gun in the colonies, and there
is more rcd tape about him than can be
found at Windsor Castle. When he con-
descends to 90 to the theatre, his visit
costs the local manager about 5000 for
carpets and decorations, and then he
takes such a retinuc with him, all of
whom get in for nothing, that there is
little room for the rest of the public. A
funny thing concerning his visit is that
as soon as he enters the door the per-
formance must stop, the band or orchestra
strikes up "God Save the Queen,". and
everybody in the house rises to his or her
feet and turns to the royal box, remaining
standing until the governor sits down. I
saw a performance of 'Uncle Toms
Cabin" once in Adelaide; the governor
came in just as Eliza was crossing the
ice, and there she had to stand in mid
stream on the tossing foes until "God
Save the Queen" came to an end and the
governor took his seat, when Eliza re-
sumed her journey over the dancing ice
cakes.

blank to-days.
The memory is perpetually looking
back when we have nothing present to

Pain itself is not without its allevia-

but it is seldom both violent and long

the power of shedding a satisfaction over
intervals of ease, which few enjoyments
exceed.
Economy is the parent of integrity, OF
liberty and of ease; and the beauteous
sister of temperance, of cheerfulness and

and crafty demon, that gradually in:
wolves her followers in dependence and

A BATTLE WITH BANDITS.
Five Killed and Eleven Wounded at
a Mining Camp in Mexico.

Five Killed and Eleven Wounded at
a Mining Camp in Mexico.
A bloody fight occurred few nights ago
at the Dolores Silver Mines, in the state of
Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The Dolores mining
camp lies short distance from the town OF
Yallecillo, off the line of the Mexican National
railway, a large and desperate band of
mountain bandit; attacked the camp for the
purpose of robbery at about l O'Clock IN
the morning. The camp is protected by a
heavy adobe wall, which the bandits scaled.
r. j. Bogusch, superintendent of the mines,
and w. S. Toal, engineer, both Americans,
rallied a hundred or more Mexican miners
and charged the bandits, but were repeatedly
driven back. The battle lasted one hour.
The camp was finally saved by the arrival of
Alcalde Garcia with posse of fifty citizens
from Vallecillo, atwhose approach the bandits
retreated to the mountain, having failed to
secure the expected booty.
Five dead and eleven desperately wounded
bandits were left behind. On the side OF the
miners none were killed. but dozen or more
were severely wounded, some fatally: The
wounded bandits We're carried to Nalleclllo,
where they will be executed.

A Quincy Ill) dispatch says that the mys-
tery surrounding the disappearance of Eddie
and Charles Klusmeyer, aged twelve and
seven wears, and Charles Kallerbach, aged
ten wears, has b2en dispelled by ghasty
discovery. On the 18th of last September the
three children suddenly disappeared
from home and their parents made
search for them in vain, and then offered
rewards for their discovery. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion that the children had been
stolen by river pirates, and advertisements
were inserted in several papers south OF TINS
place, but no trace Of them was ever found.
4 few days ago a man hauling sand for
foundry was loading his wagon near
the river bank, and on lifting his shovel was
Mortified at finding that he had cut the head
from human body.
The man at once reported his discovery and
the Coroner was notified. Upon further In
vestigation the bodies of three children were
exhunled from the sand bank, and were lden-
titled as those of the missing boys. 1t is
thought that the boys were digging a cave IN
the sand bank, when it caved in and buried
them alive

ANoSG other legislative amend ments We hope the next assembly will so revise existing laws that q Justice of the Peace will not be allowed to discharge prisoner who is accused of the crime of murder. In many of the Eastern States this has become a permanent feature of the statute law, and k regarded as wise measure of jurisprudence. The rights of a prisoner are not in any wise prejudiccd by it, because he has ample remedies through the writ of habeas corpus in a court of competent jurisdiction. The gravity of the ofense, and the nature of justice courts at once suggest req sons for the law.
