a Rattle for a Mexican Girl.

An old Mexican in Nogales, Sonora, is
attempting to dispose of his ffteen-year'
old daughter by means of a rattle, thirty
chances, at 81 q chance. The girl in diff
fsrent hands would be comedy young miss,
but, unfortunately, she belongs to lower
class, who think it no violation of the
laws, the law of God or society, to dispose
OF an attractive-appeariDg female in that
way. Both Americans and the better class
of Mexicsns are highly indignant over the
affair and it is highly probable that the
rattle will come of, although the Mexican
statutes contain RIO law touching the point,
while the man seems to think that he is
doing no wrong in thus disposing of his
daughter in that manner. He is neverthe-
less going into the scheme as slyly as its
nature will permit and insure a successful
disposal of the tickets.
A case similar to this occurred at the
same place once before, but the public
knew nothing about it until the girl had
been sent home to her parents, In this in
stance Mexican woman sold her daughter,
who was fifteen years old, to Chinese
merchant for SIS in Mexican money. The
Chinamm kept the young girl while,
and when he became wearied OF her cent
her home to her parents. Young girls are
frequently made an article of barter
among the most ignorant tribes OF Next
can Indians, but Ii is rarely that Mexl-
can stoops so low.

The Court House Gang Scared

CLIFTON, March Is. Especial, J. Hon.
John B. Wright OF Eugens, who is serving
his second term as commissioner of YER
million county, having been nominated
and elected by the republican party both
times, has created quite "breeze" among
the courthouse gang. The boys were wav-
ing the crimson garment" pretty freely,
when Mr.. Wright frankly and plainly told
them that Cleveland's administration was
good enough for him and good enough for
any man, and that If he was nominated he
would be reelected beyond any doubt.
Mr.. Wright served notice on them that he
would no longer vote the republican ticket.
Some of the republicans of Newport talked
of circulating petition asking him to re-
sign; others charged that he had always
been q democrat at heart and had changed
to be q republican simply to enable him to
marry republicans daughter. His char
acter is above reproach in Vermillion
courtyard wherever else he is known. No
better citizen lives in Western Indiana.

when he decided to rid himself of her and
forced her to return to her parents when

THE HOLY HOUR.

Family as fades the emile from sleeping lips,
The last of day wanes in the quiet west
And from the blue ADORE me darkness dips
Like some wing-weary bird above its nest.
Dim as a warriors furnished shield the moon
Rests on the dusky borders of the sea
Whose deep voice, like some weird old prophets
rune,
Through the still air is borne afar to me.
The low OF herds is hushed upon the Hill,
The mill has ceased to murmur by the stream,
In yellow fields the changing scythe is still,
And all the darEling word is IN a dream.
One after one, among the stirless trees
The lights come out along the village street,
And many pleasant glimpse OF household
Lends night, with oil its stars charm more
sweet
And bark where in the gloom the time-worn
tower
Looms gaunt and ghost-like from the cy-
press grove,
How tenderly the chuFeh clock tolls the hour!
The holy hour OF perfect peace and love-
Sweet hour; from whose cool, crystal nrns OF
air
The soothing draUght to fevered care is given,
Who're starry silence, like a worldless prayer,
Cplifts the dark world to the gates OF Heaven.

SEDALIA, March II. = Especial The
boiler explosion at Burlington, a small
town northeast of here, briefly mentioned
in the papers yesterday was a fearful affair
AMI has spread much gloom all through
tn section. The large steam boiler used
il the saw and planning mill Of George
Dr.er exploded with terrific noise totally
VT, cking the entire establishment. Two
brothers named Moses and Frank Viii tsell
were employed in the mill and were blown
into unacceptable fragments. Edward
Enerman the only son OF the late Post
ms ster William Enerman was also Instant
ly Eilled by the explosion, George Durer
the owner OF the mill was hurled to the
ground and received injuries about the
back and head that will likely end In his
death. One or two others were slightly in
Jured. No one seems to know the real
cause of the catastrophe, but the old story
is suspected not enough water in the boiler
or defective material.
