Texas Jacks Grave.

*Not far from Charlie yivian's grave
in Leadville's cemetery" began the
old actor, lis tina earthly tenement Of
another man whose reputation was
worldwide. A rough pine slab, upon
which are inscribed the simple words,
John Omahnndra,' marks the spot
where the once famous Texas Jack is
inferred. When the pneumonia scourge
carried him away he was the dime-
novel ideal Of q frOntiersman. Tall
and muscular, with long raven hnir
and mustache and features Of Grecian
beauty, twas no wonder that the first
time Morlacchi met him she loved him.
M0rlacchi WAS q Partisan danseuse who
came to this country with one Of the
French opera companies, She saw
sOmahundra one nightin Z New Orleans
cafe, and 4 week later she married him.
She was . blase woman OF the wosld--
his life had been spent on the plains.
She was gifted with all the graces

Ments shOwered upon her. Golden
coins flung upon the stage every

loved husband drank and gambled with
the many kindred spirits he found in
the new camp. The woman danced
and made money, and the man spent
her earnings in the widest sort 81

his conduct. Stories Of his marital
infidelity reached her ears, but shs

The terrible food At J~ohnstown,
which Is receiving the attention Of the
entire civilized world to-day, tends 70
recall to mind the great flood which
visited Omaha IN April, 1881, when the
Missouri river overfi0wed its banks and
the muddy waters trespassed upon the
Union Pacific shops, the smelling
works and all property in the hats hear
the banks. Many Of the old settlers Of
this city will remember the havoc
caused by the rushing waters in their
maddening course carrying destruc-
ton in their course everywhere. The
railroad track was washN away, the
shops had to he abandoned in hot haste,
and the workmen were compelled to
fee for safety.
The danger line was passed by the
wild waters on the Goth of April, 1881.
By 5 o'clock on that day the water was
up no high in the Union Pacific shop

work, and the machinery was all

the Enquirer London news bureau on
January 9TH. 1855, cabled ~ follows:
@The special correspondent Of the
London AtGndard NJ Shanghai gives .
graphic picture of the tremendous loss
Of lite In China from the overflow d
the H0ng-Ho river and . tremeneld-
GUS famine tlaat il threatened. II says
that one-sixth Of the area Of the garden

verted into . gigantic lake, with only

overlooked with wretched fugitives.
In hundreds Of instances men Of wealth
to-day gaze on the land sea-, stunned,
hungry, stupid and detected, with nei-
ther rags to cover them nor food to
satisfy the cravings Of their appetites.
sThe inundation commenced in the
little district, q short distance from
Kaifnng-Fu. one of the largest cities in
the PROVENCE, and in one instant four
miles Of solid bank Of stone, brick,
sand and clay was swept away. In the
district Of Ching. Chow and Chen-C Chow
5000 large villages, were engulfed in
. few minutes, and but few lives were
saved, ~ the deluge occurred in the
night time. The extent Of the disaster
can be better understood by adding q
statement that the territory is about as
large a. Wales, and nor thickly pop
ulated and that territory was made .
raging sea and in it all were drowned.
The population Of the district cannot

and the inundated district covers 5000

The Pekin Gazette says that when

STONEWALL JACKSON.

Those who heard the able lecture
at the Christian church, in this city,
on last Friday night, were furnished
with excellent food for reflection and
a lesson for the intellect that may be
applied in several ways to everyday
life. At this extent of time from the
close of this peoples internecine war,
it is a profitable exercise for the intel
lect of all to rise to a higher and a
broader plane, above feeling, and
study some Of the striking illustrations
of the variety of human character
displayed in the glazing blaze of that
fierce Outburst of passion. Much is
to be learned from such a study and
there is abundant material for it on
both sides of the contest.
On neither side of that deadly con-
test was developed a man with more
striking qualities of character, nor q
richer field for study, than Stonewall
jackson. One can peer into bis char
acter and study his acts, as furnished
by the historian, and see much that
will cause wonder and reflection. The
civil war did not produce bis like {:
neither has the world.
This world has had but one Alex
ander, one Caesar, one Napoleon and
but one Stonewall Jackson. 1t is
doubtful if it will ever have another.
His life was like fierce fame that
shot suddenly out of an unsupported

The preparations for the trial of the
Cronin suspects continues to be the
all absorbing topic in criminal circles.
Notwithstanding the widespread inter.
est in this matter and the fact that
the history of the Cronin case is
known to almost every man, woman
and child in this city, it is
not generally known and is
perhaps, known to but very few, that
one of Sedalia's well-known citizens
was a classmate of Cronin's at co..
lege. Such is a fact, however, and
DIR. w. G. Overstreet is the man.
He and DR.. Cronin attended the Mis-.
souri, Medical College, at st. Louis,
together for two years, from 1875 to
1877. They were in the same classes
and were well acquainted. Doctor
Overstreet says Cronin was a genial
young man and a good singer. He
sang tenor at that time in the Second
Baptist church of St. Louis.

devotedly and believing be was right.
Strange, mysterious mani When 8
Northern and Union man, like George
r. Vending. eulogizes him and that
eulogy is greeted with deafening ap-
plause in Boston, is it any wonder,
and is it not pardonable, that the
Southern people from Maryland to
Texas, adore him?-The grandest,
strangest, sublimest character pre-
duced by their race in the bloodiest
war of modern years, which brought
forth so much at which to wonder and
ponder. Anomalies are met every
day, but one like Stsnewall jackson.
but once. jackson was q product of
nature, not of any section. Had he
been born north of Mason and Dix
on's line, he would have devoted his
splendid ability to the UnioR he tried
to destroy. The lessons learned from a
study of his character are the sublim-
ity of piety and devotion to duty, and

ton and steady pursuit of one OBJ

A tariff organ cites the importa.
ton last year of $104, 100000 worth
of woolen manufactures as proof that
higher Chinese Wall is needed to
give our manufactures possession OF
our home market. If American mills
could get the wool they need on the
same terms as their competitors they
would not be compelled to use
so much shoddy. The foreign goods
are not bought because the people
love to pay taxes or prefer foreign
goods because they are foreign. They
are demanded and sold because they
are better either in quality or style.
On equal terms our manufacturers
could compete with them far more
successfully.
