THOUGHT SHE WAS A BOY.

Chester, ILL.,, Nov. 27-There is one
person in this county who did not rem
der very sincere thanks to-day, and
that is Louis Corder, aged about II
years who, until quite recently, was
happy in the belief that she was boy
and would be boy and would be a
man some day, but who to-day changed
her masculine garments for the more
becoming habilaments of woman.
Louis is the sensation of the day, and
her history, though brief. presents
peculiar phase, from the fact that her
father, John fl. Corder, never told the
child her true sex, but dressed her as a
boy, told her she was boy and made
his exit off the scene by leaving the
child IN Chester over two years ago, at
the age of IA years, homeless and
friendless. Louis was taken to the
poor bonse as public charge, where,
after her health recupersted, she was
advertised as an applicant for home
in the family of some person willing
and able to adopt and care for the
orphan. Mrs. Nick Gross, living near
Ellis Grove, in this county, took the
supposed boy-a pale, slender, blue
weak voice--into her family, and she
soon adapted herself to her surround
ings, working every day on the farm,
utterly ignorant that she was girl, tor
two years. Of late, however, Mrs.
Gross suspicious were aroused. aud
soon she satisfied herself that she had
girl working tor her instead of boy.
Not knowing the proper course to
pursue, she brought Louis TO Chester
yesterday and consulted the proper
authorities as to Louis future ward
robe. Louis is ordinarily intelligent
aud is a good worker faithful in the per-
formance of her duties. .and thoroughly
innocent of any deception in conceal ing
her sex.

A CITY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
From the N. Y. Sun.

The city authorities OF Rnvigno, ON
the peninsula OF Istria, Ia the Adriatic
sea, have discovered little south of the
peninsula the ruins OF large town ut
the bottom of the sea. 1t has been OBJ
served for some years that fshermen's
nets were sometimes entaugled In what
appeared to be masses OF masonry of
which fragments were brought up
from the sea bed. A year or two ago
diver declared that he had seen wails.
and streets below the water.
The citv authorities recently decided
to investigate. They sent down q
diver, who, at the depth of eighty. five
feet, found himself surrounded on the
bottom of the sea by ruined walls. He
says he knows they were the work of
man. He ID builder by trade and he
recognized the layers of mortar.
Continuing his explorations, he trac.
ed the line of walls and was able to
distinguish how the streets were laid
out. He did not see any door or win.
dow openings, tor they were hidden by
masses of seaweed and incrustatIons.
He traced the masonry for a distance of
100 feet, where he had to stop, as his
diving cord did not permit him to 90
farther. He had proved beyond a
doubt that he had found the ruins of a
once inhabited town, which. through
some catastrophe, had been sunk TO the
bottom of the sea.
Some people think that they identity
this lost town with the island mention
ed by Pliny the elder, under the name
of Cissa, near Istria. This island can
not be found now and il is thought the
submerged town may have been set.

master and post trader at Pine Ridge
agency, is in this city. Mrs. Finlsy left
the agency few days ago by direction
of her husband, who sent her hare for

described the ghost dances:
"One ghost dance that | saw was

preparing for the dance they cut the
tallest tree that they can find, and hav-

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Champ Clark's suggestion seems 10
be a good one. He said to a Republic
reporter, few days ago: "The most
troublesome question that will confront
the Legislature is that OF how to dispose
of the convict labor. Some one pro-
posed in the last legislature to work
the surplus convicts in building two
great rock roads-one running east and
west and the other north and south
through the state. That was good
plan, only there should be three or four
each way throughout tho state instead
OF one. For instance, there is already
twelve miles OF fine gravel road from
Louisiana westward to Bowling Green.
The state could continue this westward
" through Mexico 10 ST. Joseph.
Another might be acknowledgements built
from Hannibal westward IL 81 doe,
another from s.. Louis ter 4S& City,
and still another from Oap< b DEAN
TO point on the Kansas .sp6 ssouri
line opposite Fort Scott. This is about
the only service to which convicts can
be put hich would not conflict with
the union labor organizations, and
would be universally commended, l
think, and be OF untold benefit TO the
state. The building of three or four
state roads each way through the state
would soon induce the various counties
to put their Jail convicts to work ON
roads connecting with these great state
roads, and In few years every
thoroughtare In Missouri will be
mscadamized or graveled"

THE PEOPLE OPPOSED TO BXCEs
sIVE TAXATION.

The force and significance of this
popular rebuke cannot be weakened by
the claim set up since the election that
Tue tarlt act has been misrepresented
and Its Injurious effect upon the people
exaggerated by the arguments of its
opponents and by the action of mer-
chants ana others in taking immediate
advantage of the prospective increase
IN prices. The purpose of the law,
even If II had not been ayowed by its
authors and supporters, is perfectly
plain, and its effect upon the cost OF
living and upon the markets i'm " bich
our principal surplus products are sold
can De tOrsPen with almost absolute
certainty. The act was condemned by
'he people because they fully under
stood II aud not because they were
deceived IN regard to it. The grea,
mass OF producers in this country are
IN no way benefited by tariff, a",l

WHO AND WHAT DID IT.

Under the above caption the Bruns-
wick Brunswicker, one of the best
edited weeklies in the state, has the
following:
"Nov that the election is over Il is
proper to refer to those men who con.
tributed largely to the result.
In the first place we must men.
ton the democratic press; and of
the city papers in the order of
the efficient work done comes the ST.
Louis Republic, tho st. Joseph Ballot
and the Kansas City Times. When the
merits of the work done by the country
press Is considered. we find in some
cases intelligent and able discussions In
others the most contemplate negligence
and ignorance. Some Of our exchanges,
calling themselves democratic and
brazenly boastiDg that they have been
such for years. have not during the
entire campaign had single original
article in which was contained a clear
or fair, or decent discussion or exposi-
ton OF the tariff question, or the force
bill. or the new code of governing con-
gress. These papers were issued weekly
but there was scarcely line in them
that indicated that the country was
quietly passing through one Of the
most perilous and important crisis in
i,s entire history. But there are some
exceptions among the county papers
Among those which had intelligent
discussions and put the issues OF the
campaign squarely to their readers
were the Columbia Statesman, the Lex
ington Intelligencer, the Huntsville
Herald, the Carrollton Democrat, the
Glasgow Missourian, the Sedalia Ga
zette, the Ledger and lntelligencer, and
few others. These did efficient work
and democracy in Missouri is under
lasting obligations to them. They were
democrats from honest, patriotic con-
victions and not because there wa
money in it, as were some of the very
pretentious papers. Next to them come
the great crowd of efficient speakers
Never perhaps in the canvass of the
state have there been SO many able
speeches made"
