DIED.

VANcE-Min ale Belle, daughter of
j. w. and L. E. Vance, of
Wilson township, Adair county,
Mo-, died Sept, s. 1891; aged l6
years and 4 months.
SPARE-At the home of Rev. W.
E. Crebs, two miles south of
town, Crebs, infant son of Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. Spare, of Clar-

CLARK-At the family residence
in Sublette, Mo-, on the 11th, Of
cholera infantum, David Gull
len, infant son of M. and Mrs.
James j. Clark, sged 8 months
and II days.
Little Cullen's stay with his
parents was short, but quite long
enough to entwine closely about
their loving hearts. Sad indeed
to have child SO lovely to fade
awav under the touch Of death,
but blessed thought, it is the body
only which fades. The dear little
one is with Jesus who when on
earth took the sweet infants into
his arms and laid his hands of
blessings on them.
May these Christian parents
look up to him through their tears
of sorrow and resignedly sing
with the poet.
Yes. thou art lied, and Saints a welcome
sing
Thine infant spirit soars on angels wings:
Our fond affection should have hoped thy
stay
The voice Of God has called HIS child away .

LOTTERY POLITICS.


 Democratic primaries in New Haven are sometimes queer affairs, but the primaries for the election of delegates to the Demo- cratic State convention which were held in New Orleans yesterday were queeror than anything of the kind in this part of the country. The Louisiana Lottery company in order to accomplish it's ends wants the constitution amended. It prepared for the use of it's supporters at the primaries yes terday handsomely engraved ballot, en- graved by the same skillful artists who decorate the tickets for the daily and monthly drawings. It was headed 'Reg- ular Conservative Democratic Ticket" and it displayed a portrait of "Our Choice for Governor, Samuel Doug lass McEnery." Under the list vote to instruct the delegates for whom I cast this ballot to vote as a unit Taccording to the sense of majority of their nun bers] upon all questions presented before the State nominating convention of the Democratic party of Louisiana, to be held at Baton Rouge on December 16, 1891 Except that such delegates are specially in structed, first, to vote as a unit for the nomination of s. D. McEnery to be govern or of Louisiana; second, to vote as unit in favor of a resolution to submit the lot tery revenue amendment to white pri- maries.
 The ballot marked with this instruction was of a peculiar color, and the managers for the lottery were thus enabled to see who their friends were. The whole affair is one of the most peculiar and disgraceful incidents of American politics, but the lot tery company wont care for that if it is successful.

The Cradle Bars rhe Way.

Mrs Lynn Linton in the Nineteenth Century. i
 Be it pleasant or unpleasant, it is none the less an absolute truth-the raison d'etre of a woman is maternity For this and this alone nature has differentiated her from men, snd built her up cell by cell and organ by organ. The continuance of the race in healthy reproduction, to- gether with the fit nourishment and care of the young after birth, is the ultimate end of woman as such. and whatever tells against these functions and reduces either her power or her perfectness is an offense against nature snd wrong done to sOcie- ty. If she refuses to decline her office al together, and to dedicate to other services life which has no sympathy with the sex of humanity, that comes into her lawful list of preferences and discords But neither then or while she is one with the rest, 6 wife and mother like others is she free to blaspheme her assigned functions: nor to teach the young to blssphems them; nor yet to set afOot such undertakings as shall mitigate against the healthy perfor- nance of her frst great natural duty and her first great social obligation
 The cradle lies across the door of the polling booth and bars the way to the sen ate. We can conceive nothing more disAs- trous to & woman in any stage of maturn- ity, expectant or accomplished, than the heated passions and turmoil of political contest; for We may put out of court three fallacies-that the vote, if obtained st sll, is to be confined to widows and spinsters only; that enfranchised women will content themselves with the vote and not seek after active office; and that they will bring into the world of politics the sweetness and light claimed for them by their adherents, and not, on the contrary, add their shriller excitement to the men's deeper passions. Nor must We forget that the franchise for women would not simply allow a few well-conducted, well-educsfed, selfrespecting gentleyOmen quietly to re. cord their predilsction fer Liberalism or Conservatism, but would let in the ia, wider food of the uneducAted. the unre- strained, the irrational and emotional those who know nothing and imagine all- those whose presence and partisAnship on all public questions madden already exci. ted men.
 We have no right to suppose that hu. man nature is to be changed for our bene. fit, and that the influence of the sex is tc become 8 dead letter because certain among us wish it so. What has been will be again.
