Correspondence oi the Ladget!
BENTON CRY, Mo-, Aug. 2i.--
Your correspondent. IN Saturday

on Llttleby, about nine miles north
east of Mexico. On arriving at the
grounds we found the people gath
ering from all parts of, The country
in all manner Of conveyances to
spend a day in a beautiful wood
land pasture-a most delightful
place for a picnic, in listening to
public speeches, etc. AT IL o'clock
dinner was announced and fully
one thousand people enjoyed them
selves, partaking of tho good things
of life prepared by the good women
of the community. The crowd was
large, but there was All abundance
and everyone ate to his hearts con-
tent. After dinner speaking was
announced, ana Col. Clay address,
ed the people for an hour on the
questions that are now agisating'
the public mind, paying particular
attention to the Mills tariff bill.
After Col. Clay came Capt. John
NJ. Gordon, VIM. Edmonston and
Frank Jesse, candidates for the of
fee Of County Attorney. s. o.
Wright, Assistant Wheel organizer,
then addressed the assembly for a
short time to the great delight Of
those present. The ladies of Lit
tleby are TO be congratulated on the
excellence of the food prepared for
the picnicers.

Youthful Burglars.

Fred Frank, Will Sweetser,
Albert Latta and Win Earlon, all
aged about thirteen and half years
and hailing from Kansas City,
were arrested at the Union Depot
Sunday afternoon by officer
Bunton and Deputy Sheriff Atchi-
ssh for breaking into the grocery
store of II. Easter & Co. They
only secured an old coat and a few
cigars. One of the boys gives the
following account of the affair:
"We was out of money and
wanted to git back to X. c., where
we all.lives. We was a-work-in'
for a man wild de big COW at de
Fulton fair and he told us to git
him a coat and he'd pay us.
Well, we seen a coat in de back of
a store and / stood watch in de
alley while one of de boys cut out
a winder glass an crawled trough.
He opened de door and let tn
other boys in, while 1 KEEP watch.
One boy run de elevator while de
others went up and got some cigars
and stuff. Dye hear de music of
TIL rock pile out dere? De you
think l could learn to play dat
instrement? Dere waz another
boy, but dey only caught us four"
The young burglars all have rel
atives living in Kansas City.
The four boys from Kansas City
who were jailed Sunday for bur-
glary were released by Justice
Winscott Tuesday upon pay
ment of heavy fines. The Justice
delivered them severe lectures.
Relatives of the erring boys came
here from Kansas City and assisted
in securing their release.

The Bridges Twins.

Of the beautiful Bridges twins,
one of whom died at Lamar last
week, aged ten, a Southern writer
contributes the lines printed below.
The twins will be remembered in
this city, where their wonderful
singing and acting attracted i'm
mense audiences nightly.
"Surely, when these babes were
born, a viewless angel must have
lowered over and kissed them, and
in kissing breathed upon them an
inspiration almost divine. Rose
buds of our own beloved state,
kissed by u softest zephyrs, catch
ing in their infant sleep the notes
of our native song-birds, they pour
out their little hearts in song with
the same impulse that moves the
bird. We have read of them in our
exchanges and thought the writer's
extravagant. We do not think SO
now. They are beautiful, wonder
full perfection in all that goes to
make up two little angels. We
shall watch them as they fit on
life's fowery stage, and our heart
will go with them. The people of
Canton who heard them were en-
raptured as they saw their velvet
cheeks glow like rose leaves amid
the. uproar and thunders of ap-
plause, when they were singing and
acting. Don't you grleve after me
when Pm gone All, babies! we
do grieve, and we want you to come
again.,

The Old Lady Remembered.

"Ethel," asked a Mexico moth

George leave any package for me

said falteringly, "Why, no, man.
ma! What made you ask? go,
nothing, l only heard him say at
the door as he said good bye, Now,
here is one more for your mother
and / didn't know but it was that
pattern for lace l~ambrequins that
lbs mother has promised me-"

Barton,

To the Editor oi tic Ledger.
RUSH HILL, Mo-, Aug. 90
There has been a mistaken idea
the rounds Of the press, that
the Wheel ever intended 10 reflect
any discredit in regard to w. II.
Barton's character, AS no charges
have been preferred against brother
Barton in his subordinate Wheel.
The intention was that the char
acter of his business did not admit
of his holding a charter as State
deputy for the Agricultural Wheel,
and generally in such cases one
Wheeler don't wait for another to
exclude ineligible leadsrs of the
order and if | undcratand NV
brothers rightly. Mr.. Barton is lot
eligible to membership il, the Ag-i-
cultural Wheel. The fact Of Mr..
Barton raising blooded hogs a few
years ago should not admit him to
the Wheel af.er he abandoned that
business and entered into the real
estate business.

EaaH ---~--
To the Editor Of the wlveeiers' Column.
MEXICO, Me-, August 81, 1885,
AS those friendly to your associa-
ton have been invited to address it
through you, permit me to point
out a mistake that, the Wheel is in
some danger of making. An incl
dent at the late picnic suggests
what / have to say.
Unless misunderstood by the
outside public, the Wheel as a body
expects to keep clear of politics,
and yet it urges its members to
study and become intelligent on
public matters, with q view to in
Huencing Legislation. In short, you
desire to choose between the men
likely to become legislators, rather
than lead a forlorn hope in your
own name. In pursuance of such
purpose Green Clay, a gentleman
fully committed to one of the two
parties c~ontesting for control Of
American affairs, became your guest,
and proceeded to state the reasons
for the faith that was in him, he
frankly and clearly letting you
know that he had taken his stand
to win or lose under his chosen
colors. What more could you ex-
pect or wish under the circum-
stances? And yet an officer and
leading member of the Wheel took
Mr.. Clay to task, insisted that
neither the political power he rep
resented nor the ont which he OPP
posed were worthy of Wheeiers'
consideration, and by implication
invited Mr. Clay to be a Wheeler's
man. Does not this indicate some
thing very like drifting into another
of the small, insignificant parties,
of which we already have too many,
wasting their strength and efforts
childishly reaching after the moon,
rather than a reasonable and dis
Greet choice of the light that is
available2
Assuredly Wheelers should be
content to do away with class legis-
~lation, and not GEEK any for their
own purposes; and thereby risk
falling into the harlds of dema-
gogues who are all promises and no
work.
Agricultural workers do hold the
balance of power. 1t is with you
to chose between what is offered,
but you cannot found a successful
Apply to public matters the COM
mon sense you do to your private
business, and you will get not Of
fee, but officers who will do their
Ifa steam thresher did not suit,
you would not fail nor tramp your
grain but send for a horse power
machine be equally wise in state
matters. This is written with that
full friendship, which dares point
to a mistake rather than see you
lose what you SO certainly are in
need of. And by n of those who
urged Green Clay to make this race,
believing that after the struggle
within his own party for the nomi-
nation, and the battle with the OPP
posing party for the place, that
when he was chosen, our whole
Senatorial district would have u
representative, with full ability,
and integrity, TO care for he w%e!tare
of eUery interest committed "a his
charge. WM. LLEwELLYy.
