E.Pe;u re.

At the Christian church next Friday
night. Nov LIST, De. Chapman will give one
Of his noted lectures entitled IAN Ameri-
can in China and Japan" Admittsnce 25
cents. None ought to fail to hear this elo
quent divine.
In 1867 D.. Chapman made tour of
the world, and since his return has pub
lished narrative of his travels entitled
"The Lands of the Orient" which has re-
ceived the highest encomiums from the
press in ali parts Of the country. His lee
lures on his travels have also b. en- uniyer-
sally popular. Concerning one o: these
lectures the Greensboro (Alsbama Watch
man says; "Dr. Chai man held his audience
spell-bound for three quarters oil an hour
by his matches eloquence, which gushed
from his lips like the pure water from a
mountain stream. He clothed the grand
est ideas in the most beautiful conceivable
language Round after round of applause
greeted the gifted speaker, and all who
heard him felt the better for it. We con-
graduate DIR. Chapman upon his very able
effort"
A correspondent OF the st. Louis Chris
tim Advocate, writing from Parkyiile,
Mo-, says: "Dr. NJ. b. Chapman lectured
for us on China and Japan last Saturday
night. DIR. Chapman has that happy fac
ulty OF telling Us ist what We wish to
know OF those foreign countries. We have
appreciated his letters in the Advocate
much, but we appreciated his lecture much
more. With his pen he seemed to describe
those oriental nations until We fancy we
can almost see them in a picture; but with
bis voice and gestures we almost fancy We
are there and view with our own eyes the
same things the speaker witnessed. His
voice is strong and sweet and under admir-
able con. roll"

Marrfes his First, Second and Third
CONAN.

A complicated csse OF matrimony was
celebrated at st. Joseph Friday nsght in
John r. Lewis, q prominent physician OF
that city, married Mics Louise Quarels,
who is his first, second and third cousins.
The bride has number of friends, as well
as relstives residing in this city who will
read with interest the following history OF
the relationship of the couple, which be-
comes still more complicated by their mar
riage:
Some years before the late civil war
Charles Quarles and John Lewis, sr., who
were first cousins, married two sisters
named johnson at Charlottesville, Va.
When the war broke out Quarles left his
wife and entered the southern army, He
had been away some time when he learned
that his wife had given birth to fine girl
baby but during the sickness that followed
died. The baby lived and was taken care
of by its dead mothers sister. When the
war closed Quarles returned to his home,
and in a short time married his sister.
in-law and his child's aunt. By this
marriage be became the father of several
children, and Miss Louise, :he young lady
married last evening was one OF them.
The second marriage of Qusrles made the
child by the first wife and those by his
second wife not only full cousins, but half
sisters as we'll. The marriage of the two
cousins to the two sisters made Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis first, second and third cousins.
The marriage of the two sisters TO the two
cousins made them first cousins, says one
Of the parties interested, which would
make the children third cousins TO their
uncies and fourth cousiIs 20 each other.
At the wedding wa' Mrs. Octavia Coch-
ran of Boonville, Mo, the daughter of
Quarles' first wife and the cousin and half
sister of the bride. While a portion of
tnem trace the relationship between the
newly married couple so as to make them
first, second and third cousins the others
made il 60 as fer as the fourth.
1t is somewhat significant in this con-
nection that Missouri's law prohibiting the
marriage of first cousins will 20 into effect
November l, and by their marriage the
young couple anticipated the laws force
by Just q week.

THOUSANDS OF PLOyER.
A Flock of PlOver Entangled
Among Electric Light
Wires.

A flock, numbering thousands OF plover,
few ever the city Friday night. They
were going from the northwest to the south
east. The flock was so large that it was
daylight before the last had disappeared
and all night long their sharp ''yip" could
lie heard. This morHing a squad of about
hundred passed directly over the court
house and few 80 low that
FIVE of them struck the electric
light wires with such force that their
breasts were torn open, killing them in
SANITY. They fell upon the turf and
were recovered by Janitor Smith. They
were wonderfully fat The electric wires
were Oh rged with electricity, and some
think the birds were killed by the electric
iIy. hut their breasts were split open evil

The question where the birds came from.
aud their destination, was the subject ct
considerable discussion on the
streets this morning, but nobody
could furnish any light on il. The birds
don't belong here, and in fact have never
been seen here until within a week or so.
About week ago large flock few over

Nome of the birds got far enough out of

were shit al Dresden. They generally fly
high enough TO be out of range of a shit
gun, but now aud then they make slight

when they struck among the court house

the wires were about the SIZE of wild

SeOdlla.
DEAR SIR: On the 10th inst. was in
your city on a peculiar mission. While
there, fell among those who stole from
me and abused me in the columns of the
Sedslia Gazette.
My story is this:
Having read an article in a
SedalIa paper, some years since,
on the subject Of matrimony, as regards
the society Of Sedalia, and being des irous of
testing somewhat OF the truth contained In
those articles an reference to some of Soda
lis's bellies, l made an inquiry of friend,
a Young married man by the name OF
Conner who lives near Montserrat, this
county, who was, last summer, attending
the Western Telegraph Institute, in your
city.
His information led me to open a cor
respondence with Miss Mania, who i
then believed to be resident of Sedalis.
In course Of time, received a photo
graph, supposed to be hers, very beauti-
tul woman. | then thought my Joy
would be complete by mt citing her face to
face. But, thus far, have been doomed
to disappointment, through the per6dy Of
those who should have been true.
found the article to have been true
words, both as regards the women as we'll
as the men of Sedalia. There are many
me-, there who are Don't Want to Marry"
men.
They have little use for matrimony and
are inclined to make sport of its sup
pOrters.
IL some of them are legally married,
they act as though ii was only joke.
seek two ends in writing to you. One is
to find the lady of my admiration. The
other is to secure the rebuke publicly of
those who have so unkindly
published me and my mission to your
city.
ii you should desire to and me and the
cause of truth and Righteousness, In these
respects, shall be glad to furnish you all
the Information In my power.
That you may know as 10 who | am,
will state that am brother OF
Mrs. w. l.. Felix, who resided In
your city few years since and whose hus-
band was lawyer there. The article to
which refer is largely fabrication, got
ten up for the express purpose OF maKing
fun cut of a grave subject. Inconsistent is
il In many respects; chief among which is
the fact that after declaring "the picture
was ore to command the sdmira-
ton Of any one who g,zed upon it and it
is no wonder FiIterling was smitten."
They then proceed to riiicule said Filter
ling for wishing to locate his beauty.
/ may be no .xed, as far as Conner's part
is concerned, but have the universal tes-
timony OF all that | am not of in being
smitten with The lady.
Perehsncs, may yet meet her through
kinder ard tru~r medium than either Con-
ner or those "Don't Want To Marry" men
OF Sedalia, or the Gazette.
Hoping TO receive your cooperation, In
the re,pec above mentioned, TN Yours
respectfully, NJ. s. Fittering.
