Death of Col. John Knapp.

At midnight last night died C5I.
John Knapp, whose long connection
with the old Missouri Republican
made him a conspicuous figure in the
social and political life of st. Louis and
Missouri. At the death of his brother,
MIR. George Knapp, he assumed the
responsible task of conducting the
newspaper, and devoted himself with
zeal and energy to the work until fail
ing health compelled him TO relin-
quish 1t in part to other hands. Dur
ing the last few months his strengths
declined SO markedly tnat last nights
event was not unexpected to his fam
lily and immediate circle of friends,
but the announcement of it will no
doubt be read this morning with a
shock of surprise by the general public,
which was not aware of his serious ILL
ness.-From The st. louis Republic,

Jefferson Democrat: 1.-THE big ma
jority against Mayor Francis and the
Democratic ticket in st. Louis is easily
accounted for. Mr. Francis, az a
Mayor, considered it his duty to try to
have the laws enforced. Among
those laws is one recognizing Sunday
as a day for rest and worship, on
which it is unlawful to sell whiskey or
beer, or to even keep dram-shop,
open. BY trying to close the st. Louis
saloons ON Sunday, Mr.. Francis array
ed the whole saloon influence against
him, and got no assistance whatever
from what is known as the more re-
spectacle element of the Republican
party.n

Have Nothing Concealed.

Always live so that there's nothing to be
found out" writes matron whose honest,
happy face proclaims her a follower of her
own advice. This advice is good for any
walk of life, and for single as well as mar
ried people. But who does not know one or
more households in which Don't tell papa"
or eve won't mention this to your father"
are phrases of frequent usef What an atmos-
phere of deceit and equivocaton to throw
about child's life, and what must be the
consequence Of such trainingf Some women
are cowardly by nature, and their first in
stinct is to conceal anything which would be
likely to cause themselves to be reproved or
blamed in any way. Other women become
SO because of administered rebukeS We once
knew man whose pretty little wife never
dared tell him how much she paid for the
new bonnet and gown, even though they
were bought with ''the butter and egg
money" her own perquisites in the country
where She lived She usually deducted a GER
tain portion from the price paid for each
article: and she has even left the new bonnet
at a neighbours for few days after it was
bought, till her lord and master should have
become Iecouciled to the new gown. This
breaking the matter to him gently was abso-
lutey necessary to save herself from a storm ;
and, in our opinion, the deceit she practiced
will be added to his account in the big book
and not to hers

No collection of fairy tales, says Golden
Days, is complete without "Puss in Boots
and it is interesting to know that it has
amused the children of 100 generations
The various versions Of the story differ ma
terially, however 1t Is believed that the
Zanzibar version is the original. There the
man is ungrateful to the clever cat, and is
punished by awakiug to find his prosperity
a dream In France, Italy and India, the
cat is a swindler, and the Marquis Of Cara
has is his accomplicc. In Russia and Sicily,
"PuSs in Boots" is a moral story, and the cat
helps the man from motives of gratitude
When Cruikshank illustrated PusS in Boots, "
he reUrote it. and introduced the moral mo-
tive of gratitude in the cat, but the Ameii-
can version does not point out any motive
Why should the cat help his master to title
and riches: In our story he is II weak fellow
who does nothing to help himself and we feel
that the cat is throwing his energies away on
an idler.

As in st. Paul's cathedral London, on the
monument to Christopher Wren, SO we can
say of the work of southern women: Look
around As nothing surpassed her cour-
age, her fortitude, her untiring patience and
energy, her persistent effort during the war
so the still greater demand for such virtues
after the battle was Over, found her as ready
and responsive as before Wherever woman
can labor without losing the dignity Of wom-
auhood, the women Of the south CO. In the
home, in the school room, at the ledger and
the desk, with the needle, the pen the pen
ell, the brush, in music, in useful and deco
rative art, and all handicrafts where deft-
ness and delicacy supersede physical strength,
she is at work; in short, whatever her head
and hands find to do, she is doing willingly
and uncomplainngly
Out from the stately homes Of wealth and
luxury, out from the genial freside of com
fort and thrift from all ranks of life and
degrees of fortune, from the stone mansions
of Virginia to the graceful and picturesque
villas of Alabama canebrakes and the MisSis-
sippi valley, she has gone, at the call of duty,
into the rank and file Of working women
clad in the invulnerable almor of patient
endurance and womany dignity. And for
this she is entitled to sympathy and honor

STAY Under the Old Roof Tree,

Sell everything, suffer everything in the
way Of privation, was dying parents adj
vice 20 children, but keep the house to be to-
gether in, whatever hefall. It was sound I'D
vice So long as those children, young or
old. had q roof, they could suffer and be
stroug together. Their wants, their depliva-
tions. were their own and not public property
ii need, that they must starve, they could
starve in silence and dignity, with none bur:
themselves the wiser or the worse All their
little shifts were not subjects of general dis
cuSsion; their work was not on inspection:
strangers were not able to interfere among
them or to SOW dissension thereby, or to
ALLEVIATE affection. Close together in the
habitual contact of daily life, they could only
be bound the more closely i'll habits Of
thought in love- and in mutual concern.
And the roof tree was responsible for it all.
The roof tree was the bond and the protector.
1t took the place of parent; it was shield
and bulwark against the world No; the ex
perience of scattered and shipwrecked fami
lies has everywhere proved that much dis
comfort, much misery, might have been
spared them had they chung together in one
home; mat those who have a "ome should
keep it; it is their safety in worldly and
material comfort. Part with land, part with
jewels, part with heirlooms, keepsakes, trea-
sures, but keep the house so long as the sticks
and timbers hold together. 1t is strong
hold; it is a castle, however poor and old ;
Warwick castle itself no better for its pur-
poses. 1t is not merely that "be it ever so
humble there's no place like home" but that
it is home the single spot where one regns,
where one is unfettered and fully ones self
where one has ones tools and equipments
loosely and at ease about one, whore one is at
large liberty, where one exists satisfied with
the natural love of kin if other love is denied

The game of "My Lady's Toilet" is similar
to that of the "Family Coach" Each per-
son represents some necessary of the toilet
brush, comb soap, scent, brooch, jewel case,
etc, and the lady's maid stands in the middle
of the circle and calls for any article her
lady is supposed to want The personator of
that article must then jump up or be fiued
forfeit for negligence. Every now and again
the Abigail announces that her lady wants
her whole toilet, when the whole circle of
players must rise and change places. The
lady's maid herself makes bolt for a chair,
and the player who is left chairless in the
scuflle becomes lady's maid.
