FORGIVEN BY HIS VICTIM.
An Old Teacher, Murdered by ~ Mis-.
sourian, Prays With Him.

Ozark, Mo, May 22.-To-day
Sheriff John A. May, Of Stone coun-
ty, brought to the Ozark Jail for
safe keeping Fletcher Kirby of Car
roll county, Arkansas, who has made
full confession of the murder OF
an old school teacher named Rogers,
whose mangled and decomposed re-
MAINS were found by two men near
the border of the state about a
month ago. Kirby was arrested in
Delta county, Texas, last Saturday
and brought to Berryville, Ark,
| where he made his confession.
Rogers was an itinerant school
teacher who taught a term tast fall
in the neighborhood where young
Kirby lived. At the close of the
school the old man had about 500.
Kirby in his confession says that
the murder was planned by another
man, whose name he gave to Sheriff
May. The old teacher was persuad.
ed to go with Kirby to Stone county
to look for location for little
store which Rogers wanted to estab-
lish. When the two men reached
Cow creek, a wild and lonely region
of the Missouri border, Kirby per-

road and take a dim path leading

The eyes of many portraits appear TO fol-
low one all over the room. The cause OF
this popularity is thus explained: Let us
suppose portrait with face and eyes di
rected straight in front so as to look at the
spectator. Let a straight line be drawn
through the tip OF the nose and half way
between the eyes, which we shall call the
middle line. On each side OF this middle
line there will be the same breadth of head,
of cheek, of chin, of neck, and each iris
will be in the middle of the whole of the
eve
II we now go to one side. the apparent
horizontal breadth of every part of the
head and face will diminish, but the parts
on each side of the middle line will be di-
unfinished equally, and at any position,
however oblique, there will be the same
breadth of face ON each side of the middle
line, and the iris will be in the center of
the whole of the eyeball, so that the por-
trait preserves all the characteristics of a
figure looking at the spectator, and must
necessarily do so wherever he stands. In
portraits the apparent motion of the head
is generally rendered indistinct by the can
vas being imperfectly stretched, as the
slightest concavity or conveNity entirely
deforms the e when the obliquity is CON
siderable.-St. Louis Republic.

Mr.. Seward was undeniably great
statesman A prominent aboliiionist, he
was never bitter against the people of the
south. He was above the littleness that
characterized so many others on his side of
the senate, and, though he first gave utter
anee 70 the sentiment that there was an ir-
repressible conflict between freedom and
slavery, and that the continent must either
become free or slave. he never counte-
nanced the excuses Of speech nor the
threats which some even Of the wisest OF
the Republicans INDUCED in.
He was a philosophic thinker, and as
such realized the irreconcilability of slav-
cry To the growing conditions of the re-
public Even when civil war was inevita-
Die Mr. Seward was opposed TO fomenting
il. and did all he could TO check the pro
gress Of events TO hostility in spirit Of
fraternal compromise. And this feeling
remained with him throughout the con-
fiict, so that after the war he was ready 20
do all he could to make a real peace by sec
onding the policy Of Mr.. johnson of resto-
ration and not reconstruction, which had
also been the declared policy OF President
Lincoln. Mr.. Seward has been much over
