THE intelligent farmers in grand
old Missouri have been quick to see
that the sub treasury bill could not
become operative except at the ex-
pense of overthrowing Democratic
institutions. The stand taken by
them has been of inealculable benefit
already in checking the demoraliza-
ton of this dangerous delusion, and
members of the alliance should lose
no opportunity for making their in-
fiuence felt in the future until the de-
lusion disappears and the strength
of the farmers movement is turned
towards the reduction of the tariff,
the reform of the currency and the
redemption of the agricultural states
from the control of the plutocratic
class of the Northeast.

Try BLRcK-DRAUGHI tea for Dyspepsia.

A PROMINENT citizen of Warren
Summit, New Hampshire, recently
caused the body of his mother to be
disinterred for the purpose of bury
ing it in another place, when it was
found that the coffin was completely
enwrapped with the strands OF the
ladv's hair, even the grave being fill
ed with the silky mass, which had to
cut through before the coffin could
be removed. Upon opening the cof-
fin the remains, with the exception
of the head, were found to have per-
ished, but the skull was wonderfully
preserved and even the skin was IN
tact, and from this had grown a
quantity of hair such as no living
person could carry.

Mrs. LUCY PRATT, a young widow
of San Francisco, California, one
day last week sold forty-five square
inches of her skin for 500. A strip
of skin nine by five inches was cut
from her body by surgeons and
grated onto the leg of William A.
Daggett, a railway mail clerk, who
was frightfully injured in railroad
accident at Port Costa. His right
leg was terribly burned and the
wound would not heal, and as last
resort skin grating was resorted to.
W. G. McGregory, fellow clerk of
the sufferer, volunteered to make the
sacrifice, but when he learned the
amount of skin needed, backed out.

IT is believed that the government

the request of Whitelaw Reid, United

a bill modifying the general customs

duty at 20 francs per 100 kilos on all
salted pork, ham and bacon import

The New York Sun says that gold
exports this yearhave been the larg
est ever made from this or any other
country, but "they have not effected
our money at all. Yesterday mon
ey was drug and this week brokers
balances have loaned at 1 per cent"
If the New York money market is
gifted, it is a very different condition
from what exists in most places in
the country. That, however, is a
very natural result. when we remem-
Der that the COW is fed in the West
and MIXED in the East. The body
polite, like the human body, has
cold extremities when there's con-
gestion in other parts. The life
blood of the nation needs distribut-
ing, so that all parts of the body
may keep warm.

THERE is a serious split in the He'd
rickite branch of the Mormon church
at Independence, Jackson county.
A majority of the members have
withdrawn from the church and are
seeking admission to the other
branch of that church, all because
Elder Hall, chief of the Hedrickite
branch, tried to introduce certain re-
forms among his followers. He re-
quired the sisters to dress in plain
black dresses and sun-bonnets, with
out ribbons, laces or frills. He for
bade the men to use tobacco. DISC
bedience, he said, would be punished
with expulsion. The frivolous breth-
ren and sisters, however, rather than
give up their tobacco and frills, gave
up their church, which now consists
of only thirteen members.

The plutocratic idea is taking a
firmer hold upon the governmental
departments ofNew York year by
year. Its latest manifestation is
in the management of the so-called
public parks of that city. Wehave it
upon the authority of the CONNER
ciaEAdVertiser that children cannot
play in Central park without permits
from the commissioners, which are
granted only on specified days, but
that nothing of the kind is required
of people who drive in the park in
carriages. This discrimination in
favor of the wealthy is not surpris-
ing in the case of a community that
has been accustomed to worship the
almighty dollar and to submit to be
ing overriden by millionaires of the
Jay Gould stripe.

Tom WILLIAMSON, to he hanged at

sentenced to be hanged in Illinois in
1867 for murder in that state.
Through mercy his sentence was COM
muted to life Imprisonment, and af-
ter serving fourteen years he was re-
leased. He stoically says: 'If they
are goin' to hang Tom, let them
hang him, for Tom been a bad boy
The recent electrocutions in New

says he dosn't want any electricity in
his. He prefers to break his neck him
self. He is very ignorant, but there
is a talented forger confined in the
same jail and between them they are
writing Williamson's confession, and
the local papers are trying to get
hold of it. The hanging of William
son will be the first judicial killing in
Pettis county.

GOT DIAMONDS FROM GRvAE.
A CalifOrnian's Second Wife DespOils
the Body OF Her Predecessor.

A unique story comes from Mad
era, Cal. Cameron Dyce is we'll
TODD fruit raiser of that neighbor-
hood, and within the past year has
taken to himself second wife. His
first betterhah was a lady very
wealthy in her own right, ana the
possessor Of lot of valuable dia>
mond ornaments,among which was
pair of rings. Dying, she requested
that she be buried in these, which
was done. The second wife, it ap-
pears, on the hearing of these
valuab'es, thought herself much de-
frauded, and insisted upon her hus-
band opening the grave of the de-
ceased Mrs. Dyce and getting them
for her.
This he declined to do in spite of
tears and sulks, and the lady finally
ceased to importune him, but it be.
gan to be whispered week or two
ago that she was wearing pair of
earrings so singularly like those OF
her predecessor that the latter's
friends were convinced they were
the same. This coming to Mr.. Dy-
ce's ears, he charged his wife of hav-
ing employed some one to open the
grave and steal the jewels. She
admitted that they were the ear
rings in question, but declared that,
finding no one willing to do the
thing for her, she had herself gone
at night and disinterred the coffin
and taking the jewels, replaced the
lid, reflled the grave, and then
walked home FIVE miles.
Mr.. Dyce denounces the woman
as ghoul and refuses to live with
her any longer. The affair has Gre
ated considerable stir in the neigh
borhood, while the authorities are
rather at loss as to what measures
to take in the matter, involving as
it does several delicate points in law
Mrs. Dyce brazens the thing out and
says she has right to the jewels.

a great hurry ; in fact, the couple
surprised him in the middle of a
heavy editorial on the tariff.

looking up from his work. "Do you
