The wisdom of one century is folly in
the next one. went, in 1862, to a thea
ter i'll Liverpool and saw enter there q
black man followed by beautiful white
woman, and right after them came tw 0
Chi dren, whose mixed color bespoke their
parentage no more than their obedience
to those parents. 1t seemed to me that
there would be a murder committed in
about two minutes; invountarily duck
ed my head to avoid the shots from the
gallery at this terrible outbreak of i'm
propriety. Nothing happened, and then
| concluded that the roof would fall in
since Heaven must be somewhere or
other close by. Nothing happened what
ever, and nobody in the audience seemed
the slightest Bit disturbed For several
years thought all Europe was fool
and that was the only wise man around.
AS time has advanced, | am willing to
take one half the imputation of Europe,
and the time may come when the whole
of it will slide on to me. IL would be a
sad thing in this land if there were nol
one man in it, possessing erything but
a white skin who could get some social
compensation 70, the manhood that is in

Hitting II Congressman Hard.

FROM inc busNtHliOH SdF-
Some OF the members have their lit
tie bills upon which they rely to get
back to Congress. These are the men
the casual observer would take to be
the workers of the House. The hab-
itue knows better, and he knows, too,
that they are frequently the butts of the
House and are the targets for transient
wit. One Of these came up to Robert
son, of Kentucky, the other day and
asked him to vote for little bill which
was to secure his reelection.
GLOW much money does it take from
the Treasury asked the red bearded
kentuckian.
"About five Million" was the reply.
Don't you think" said Robertson,
look ing him from head to foot, ''don't
you think that's a pretty big price for
the Government to pay for your ser
vices?o"

Her dimpled cheeks are pale
She's lily of the vale,
Not rose.
In a muslin or lawn
She is falrer than the dawn
To her beauX.
Her boots are slim and neat
She is vain about her feet,

She amputates her rs,
Bnt her eyes are like the stars
Overhead.
On balcony at night
With tieecy cloud of white
Round her hair
Her grace, ah, who conld paint"
She would fascinate saint,

She's a bit of Il coqnette

When she marries, on my life,
She will make the dearest wife

kerosene and Diphtheria.

1t is known that blood is purified by
oxygen inhaled in breathing. The blood
is brought into contact with the air OF
the heart. The oxygen burns up the de.
leterious matter in the blood and leaves
1t in healthful condition. But if tie
air is deficient in oxygen. this office is
not performed, and blood poisoning may
result. The condition in which modern
life differs flom that of forty years ago
consist mainly in much closer houses,
and the substitution of coal for wood.
Beside these, there is in the country dis
tricts the general substitution of kero-
sene for candles. Tnere can be but little
doubt that burning kerosene in close
rooms is very unhealthy, especially if the
light is left to burn through the night.
The Offensive smell which kerosene gives
off when burned low is least OF it's evils.
kerosene is especially injurious to the
throat; but whether the lamp is burned
high Or low, whether the offense smell is
or is not present, the oxygen of the air
is exhausted and the room is filled with
carbonic acid. 1t is a noteworthy fact
that malignant diphtheria has mostly
prevailed since kerosene Was introduced,
and generally in families where it is left
burning through the night. If light
is needed frequently, it is better to ligh5
it a half dozen times through the night
than to leave the lamp burning. The
odor of sulphur matches, though offen-
sive is less injurious than the fumes of
burning kerosene--1He Lancet

"THE GLORIOUS FOURTH. "
Extensive Preparations Being
Made for its Proper Cele-
bratiOn i'm CHS CITY.

As has been previously announced,
the present manager of Sicher's park,
now known as Driving park, pro-
poses to celebrate Independence day at
the handsome grounds, now under his
management, in most fitting manner,
and presenting to our citizens a class
of amusements not witnessed here for
years, and which will in many respects
surpass anything ever before attempted
in this line.
The great feature of the day will be
the ten mile race. The contestants
will be Johnny Potts, who rode
against Anderson in the St. Louis
races, and William Scott, formerly of
Denver, now of Kansas City. These
riders, who have almost a national
reputation, have been engaged at a
large expense and the horses will be
furnished here. A change of horses
will be made every mile. or every half
mile, if desired. Wherever these
celebrated equestrians have ridden
they have attracted unusual attention
and their performances have caused
thrilling excitement among the vast
crowd in attendance. 1t is safe to
say that the forthcoming exhibition
will be one of the most interesting OF
this nature ever witnessed In this
city.
In addition to the extraordinary
attractions above mentioned, there
will be two running, two trotting and
a pacing race.
Especial attention will be given to
the grand display of fireworks in the
evening, and the munifcent sum OF
81, 900 will be expended for this pr.
pose.
The enterprise and energy of Col.
Dowler, the new manager ofour beau
tiful suburban resort, is to be com.
mended, and it is to be hoped that his
energy and enterprise will meet with
that abundant success which they 80

/ was suspicious that he would return
and secure the money and would be
left without anything.
"After protracted consultation il
was decided that | should return to
Cvnthiana on the following day and
leave the money there with my peo-
pie. With this understanding We
parted company for the night and
were soon sound in slumber.
1T was about ) o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning that our picket line
was attacked by the enemy, and be-
fore We were aware of it the entire
command was captured by the fed
erals, my horse and saldle-bags going
with the remainder.
"On being searched, only a few
dollars were found secreted about my
clothing, so no one suspected that |
was the possessor of a snug little for
tune. Finally the commander of the
federals came along, leading the horse
| had ridden the previous day, and
carrying on his arm the saddle-bagS.
Ill give the owner of this horse his
freedom if he will come forward,
shouted the Yankee commander.
al was on the point of speaking up
and saying that | owned the steed,
but something seemed to say keep
quiet and | did so.
"Well, to make long story short
er, bank had been robbed and the
$4,000 stolen. The bank people
were federal sympathizers, and of
course the federal commander wanted
to capture the thieves. When he
found the saddle-bags and the horse
he at once surmised that the rider
was the man who had robbed the
bank.
"Had | admitted that / was the
owner of the horse | would have been
released as a prisoner of war, but i
would soon have been in the hands of
the civil authorities, and the chances
are | would have stretched hemp.
That, boys, is the way l found my
$4,000" and so saying Mr.. Stanley
babe his hearers good day.
"Well, I'll be BANKED" remarked
Campbell, as he asked for another
plate of picked herring. STANLEY
was lucky in his find. but unlucky on
the come out. They wouldn't have
got the money from me, for I'd have
had it spent before the command was
captured" and the captain reached

BIRDS BIRDIE.
She Proves to be a Very Bad
Birdie-Indeed, a Bur
glar Birdie.

Mention was made in yesterday
BAzoo of the arrest by Deputy Con-
stable Bird of Birdie Coleman. COZ
ored damsel, in whose possession was
found various and sundry household
goods and chattels supposed to be
more rightfully the property of some
one else than the possessOr.
A. stated, Birdie insisted that she
had received them in lieu of wages
from an impecunious employer, but
when forced yesterday to give the
name of the alleged i. e. and con-
fronted with that individual, she &C
knowledged that she had never been
in her employee, but declined to &C
count further for her possession of the
articles.
In the meantime Mr.. George
Yeater, who had been absent with his
family on his farm, returned home,
and discovered that "some one had
been there since he had been gone. ("
Noticing the arrest of Birdie, as men,
toned in the BAzoo, he came down
to police headquarters, where he was
not long in identifying the goods as
his own.
A warrant was accordingly sworn
out against Birdie, charging her with
burglary and larceny in the first de-
gree, and she was committed to the
tender care of Sheriff Murray.
An examination of Mr.. Yeater's
residence showed that every room had
been entered, the contents carefully
overhauled, and more or less removed.
Thus far some SO or sl2
worth of the goods have been
found, but exactly how much was
taken has not been ascertained.
Birdie declines to give any infor-
nation as to the matter, or as to how
she gained entrance to the premises,
which must have been through win.
dow or with false keys. The latter
theory is believed to be the true one,
however, as a large bunch of key:
were found in her possession, and al
the residence all the doors were found
intact, being tightly closed and fasten
ed.
| The first thing which attracted Mr.
| Yeater's attention on returning home
was the discovery on the floor of one
of the rooms of piece of plank taker
from the SIDEWALK, which had beer
carried there by the intruder whethel
for offensive, defensive or other pur
, poses, is not known.
Birdie will have a hearing befor'
Justice Halstead Wednesday.

Made by the Attorneys of Col. w.
f. Cloud i'm the Noted
Will Contest.

As stated in yesterdays BAzoo, the
entire time of the probate court was
occupied Friday in hearing the argu-
ments of counsel on the application of
Col. w. F. Cloud to have certain real
estate turned over to him and taken
from the custody of r. HI. Moses, who
was appointed by the court admins
traitor of the estate of the
late Sarah Buchanan Cloud, pending
settlement of the case.
The argument was resumed yester-
day forenoon, and at the conclusion
Judge ORear announced that he
would take the matter under advise
ment until 3 o'clock p. M, when he
would probably render decision, and
if not at that time, the case would
be continued until the special term
of court in July.
Promptly at three o'clock, in the
presence of Attorneys Wilkerson, Jack
son and Smith, all of whom are en-
ployed in the case, the decision of the
court waS rendered, denying the ap-
plicatiOn of Col. Cloud, and leaving
the property under the control of Mr..
Moses. The reason for the refusal,
the court stated, was because there
might be debts to pay, and the motion
was made too soon after the granting
of letters Of administration.
