There is no denying that Rush was
very attractive fellow Hewas gentle
man by birth and instinct; he was bright,
and could be very amusing. He was sc
much younger than Helen that Aunt Re
becca regarded him as perfectly safe,'
and Helen never thought Of him as any
thing more than an agreeable boy-en-
thusiastic, and enough of musician to
be sympathetic.
His ear for music was quite remark
able. OF notes he knew little, but he
could catch an air and play it on the
piano after few hearings. Helen

cessarily more or less artificial and con-
strained, found this young fellow pleas

Of the stage, by whom she was usually
surrounded. By the people of the stage
she was surrounded only at the opera
house, to be sure, but she saw enough of

Indeed, she quite shared the opinion of a

being asked if he didn't think certain

"Yes, as good fellow as a man can be

am sorry to say that Rush occasion

unprofessionally, and his voice was
barytone. He was on such friendly re-

evening, when he wanted to show them
how certain Creole song went which
he had picked up from a young Louisi-
anian at college, he played the strange
accompaniment on the piano and sang
the song. Helen was delighted with his
voice as well as with the song, and she
thought his style. uncultivated as it was,
very fascinating. She complimented
him so judiciously that he was led on to
sing often, and she offered to teach him
some Scandinavian love songs she had
brought home from Europe with her.
So it will be seen that their evenings
were passed very pleasantly.

SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Between two COlOred men at the
Usually Quiet town,
Sweet Springs.

A shooting scrape occurred at Sweet
Springs Saturday between two colored
men which created considerable ex-
element in that usually quiet town.
Bob jenkins and Henry Nichols had
difficulty, the exact origin of which
is unknown, both parties telling diff
erent stories, and jenkins was shot in
the head by Nichols. The shooting
took place short distance from town
on the banks of Davis creek and par
ties who heard the shot ran to the
place and discovered Jenkins with a
ball from q 80 calibre pis-
tol in his head and when asked
why Nichols shot him said that he
did not know, but he was enticed to
the place and there shot. Nichols
who is said to be a peaceable man in
his disposition declares that jenkins
attempted to cut him and the shooting
was in self defense. Jenkins is in a
bad condition and may die; Nichols
is under arrest, the preliminary ex-
animation being set for Monday
next.

they met first. Last March she heard
that Ritz was again in town, and to
avoid persecution she fled 10 Ozark,
where she has sister living in COM
Portable circumstances and remained
there until she was brought back un-
der arrest. She cannot explain how
or where Gilbert got the pension pa
pers or tell where he is at present.
She says she never knew the women
under whose name she was drawing
the pension and never heard of her.
She suspected, however, that she was
some relative of Gilbert, and that he
got control of the papers in that way.
The real Mrs. Mary Little, to
whom the pension was granted, was
the widow of Edward D. Little, a
soldier in Company A of the 10th
Tennessee Cavalry, and his death is
recorded for 1874. Mrs. Barnes
bears the appearance of having been
at one time very handsome woman,
but her features now show the effects
of trouble, She feels thar she has
been led and forced into this conspi-
racy by her company.

Ambrose r. Clark, of Laclede county
brought to the city yesterday some fine
specimens of gold and silver quartz which
he took out of bluff near Decatur. Old
miners have examined the quartz, and pro.
nounce it very rich, but Mr.. Clsrk's object
in bringing it here was to have it assayed
by Mr.. J. Q. Simmons. Mr.. Clark also
brought a small slab of marble which
he obtained in another bluff about three
miles from the one containing the quartz
He says a stratum at least 35 feet thick
and mile long crops out on the side OF
the bluff and can be easily worked. The
specimen is at the Office of The Missouri

and if the remainder is like it, there is q
fortune awaiting the man who will de.
velop it. The marble deposit is located
about nine miles north of the Frisco rail
road.
