Italy is barely out of her affair with
America ere she has another on hand
with Germany. 1t is not the Malta
this time, but the monkey. An Ita =
liam at Hofen on the Swiss-German
border, crossed over info Germany
with hand-organ and monkey, and
not having a passport was arrested.
While in prison his monkey bit a
child and was killed. The Italian
was released and sent back over the
frontier, where he has remained sew
erel days shouting abuse and menaces
at the German sentry opposite. He
demands compensation for the monkey
and the Swiss decline to silence the
man because he is doing no particu-

A Rock Pile and Work House
Needed in Sedalia-What
the Justices of the
Peace Say About it.

Squire Fisher: Establish a rock
pile and erect a work house, by all
means is my opinion. Let it be known
that if a fellow gets arrested and has
no money to pay the fine, in order. to
pay the same the culprit will be sent
to a rock pile or work house or even
be compelled to work on the streets,
and the courts will not be troubled
one-fourth as much as they are now
with vags, tramps, lOafers and dead
beats generally; no sir, not one
fourth as much. The way things 60
at present a vag is arr5sted-and very
few fellows of this feathery fraterni-
ty have money-he is brought into
court-fned So, SO, SIS or $40.
What's the result? The good.for-
nothing whelp is sent to Jail, where
he is well kept and we'll fed. When
he leaves the Jail he is in a better
physical condition than when he went
in, for three square meals day is
something he is not Used to. He
'tramps to another city, or beats his
way in box car. In this transaction
the vag is by far the gamer and the
city of Sedalia the party that loses.
Put them to work like other cities.
That's what ought to be done"
Squire Blair: 81 am decidedly in
favor of making fellow work his fine
out if he lets it go by default and
don't like the idea of Pettis county
citizens being taxed to feed in the
county Jail a lot of lazy, incident, beg
garry fellows, who don't want work,
and wouldn't take it if they could get
it. / hope the change will soon be
made, and give the vags chance to
take at least enough bodily exercise
to be conducive to their health"
Police Magistrate Halstead 81

pile and must have one. ] understand

ton under advisement, and. conclude

AN EX-CONVICT BEFORE THE
PUBLIC.

John l.. Morrison lectuEed last
night at Smiths Hall, on Main street,
upon the subject of "Prison Reform"
He is young man. not over ~ or
% years of age; and, though not a
practiced speaker, did quite well and
made very intelligent talk. His
home is at Carthage, Mo-, from which
place he was sent three years ago to
the state prison for the alleged crime
of assault with intent to kill. His
term only expired few days ago.
This was his first lecture. However,
he intends to make it a regular bust
ness and lecture all over the state Of
Missouri. Among reforms needed at
the prison, he made use of the follow
ing language:
81 state upon nay honor-though
an ex-convict / claim to be an honor
able man, and expect to lead good
life in the ture-tbat prisoners are
treated IN the most inhuman manner.
Often they are whipped with strong
rawhide. for littlelor no ofense. what
ever. This should not be. The voice
of humanity. the voice of mercy, the
voice of all that's holy and pure, cries
out against such inhumanity, and the
government of the prison should be
such as to protect the prisoner from
the brutality Of the officials there in
power, and the time will come when
such will be DONE"
The audience was not a large one,
about 100 being present.
A collection was taken, the amount
received being 1886. He expects to
give another lecture in Sedalia.

THE BLUE AND GRAY.


The war closed twenty.six years
ago, and the boys who wore the blue
and the gray are discussing the feast.
bility of holding reunion and en-
campment of about three da-s dura
ton, commencing about the 18th of
May. And, as Sedalia is centrally
located and easy of access by railroad,
it is sugges ed to make the encamp-
ment an interstate affair, and invite
all comrades of both sides to meet
here, and if practicable to organize a
permanent Blue and Gray Encamp-
ment.
The following committees have been
solicited TO meet at the Office of Capt.
w. A. Fast on Tuesday next at 1880

are in for good grape vine time, and

Forest Park in good shape by that time
and if a few bright days will dawn
just then success is assured. All mill
tary organizations we understand will
be requested to take a part. If the
committees decide TO hold the ,eD.

will be given throughout the state.

Matched by artificial processes. are to be turned
loose in their proper element, while even now
the industry of fish farming is being encour-
aged in its beginning throughout the inland
waters by shipments for stocking purposes Of
young fry sent on special cars and free of
charge to every state in the Union. Also exper-
iments are about to be made in transferring
fishes from salt water to fresh and vice versa,
so that rs 1t is hoped. the mullet of the gulf
will be domesticatad in the great lakes and the
whitefish made TO share the ocean with the cod.
For such purposes sun-lit ponds under glass
frames, in which the water can be made
fresher or more salt as gradually as is
desired. are expected to be most useful Once
accustom a few individual fishes of given
species to the new water. so that they are well
and contented. and their progeny, born to the
novel element, viii be well adapted to il as
any. All this is not mere speculation, but
proven fact established by scientific iuyestiga-
ton. So far the thing is in its infancy only,
but viewed in the light of adequate experience
already obtained its future affords confident
expectation of means of supporting upon the
earth at least double the population which it
has hitherto been supposed capable of MAIN
tanning. When it Is considered that three
fourths of the earth's surface is water and that
modern discovery is soon TO make water more
profitable for food-producing purposes than
land, some notion of the hopefulness of the
prospect may be grasped.

usual practice of the player is to play ''gig.'

player belle yes that among the numbers to be

belief to the extravagant amount Of cents.

The Lewiston man who swallowed physi-

sympathizers. An impecunious wretch who
accosted him soon after said: "That's nothing. I
swallowed brick block in l0-cent drinks" The
remark was old, but the accompanying request
for l0-cent loan was new. A jeweler on Lis
bon street, who is trustworthy and will back
this over his signature, says that he knows

the epiglottis has done of late, however is to an

small one, in his mouth for Q moment when he
unfortunately slipped ON the door and swal-

ElectrOplating the Dead.


1t is well known that the most delicate tissues,
grasses, leaves and skins can be plated with
copper or other metals by electrolysis. At the
Paris electrical exhibition of 1881 a beautiful
variety of objects thus metalized were shown,
and at that date an English writer suggested,
half humorously, that the process might in the
future be employed for preserving the Inca
ments of the dead while inclosing their remains
by way Of a modern improvement on the
ancient Egyptian mummy. French doctors
seem to have taken this idea seriously and as
an experiment have actually plated dead child.
Tho result Is perfectly faithful statue of the
subject, truer to the life than any statuary
could hope to achieve. The metallic shell is
strong enough to Withstand shocks To re-
ceive the electroplating of copper, aluminium
or gold, as the case may be. the skin Is first
prepared by bath Of nitrate Of silver and the
silver reduced upon it by the vapor OF phos-
phorus, but there are other ways Of providing
the necessary 'electrole'' on which to deposit
the coating. II has been objected that the
gases Of decomposition might burst the metal-
lie shell, but it Is proposed to cremate the body
inside tae shell. while leaving vent for the
gases. The ashes might be allowed to remain
inside the metallic shell, which would thus be-
come cinerary urn and mummy case. reli-
quarry and statue of the deceased all in one,
capable Of being preserved in the home or the
mausOleum TO q remote posterity. The ances-
trail portrait gallery might in fact become q
collection Of statues as faithful to the life "a
the photograph and more durable than the
wood or porphyry Of the Pharaohs.
