During Christmas week il will
be remembered that . young BUS
sian Jew peddler, Morris T. Brown
by name, was reported missing in
the neighborhood of Paramount,
nine miles south of Colfax. There
were two brothers in the same oc-
cupation, who would at times travel
together, and again would separate
to meet at given point, at one Of
which the younger brother failed
to report Enquiry revealed the
fact that he was last seen to stop
for the night at the house Of one
Jack Chambers, colored, and from
there no further trace could be
discovered The elder brother,
finding himself helpless, raised the
alarm and called upon the author
titles to assist him in the search.
For q week OF more the most dill
gent efforts failed to secure even
the slightest clew to the mysterious
disappearance; but finally . little
half-witted negro boy MAS found.
who stated that he had seem Jack
Chambers and another colored man
kill the peddler with an AZ, put
hin, in sack, and carry him Of.
Accordingly Chambers and several
other suspected parties were ar
rested and lodged in jail at Collar,
and the search continued with re-
Dewed vigor. For several weeks
the most determined action on the
part Of the authorities, united with
the efforts Of the people generally,
utterly failed to reveal the slightest
trace of the missing man or Of the
goods he carried The evidence
being 90 meager many disbelieved
the story of the disappearance and |
discouraged further efforts toward
it, solution. But among the depu- |
ties employed by our most excellent |
Sheriff Joshua Kemp, Jr, is Mr.. |
Henry B. Thompson, who, being
enlisted in the cause, realised that

Bro. Harrison is decidedly inn
partial in his political preferences,
it appears from the foregoing. We
must protest, however, against his
putting - bee in the bonnet" of so
many innocent individuals at this
early day. Beside, some of the
parties may have political aspira-
tions, and it is almost hari-kari fnr
them to be trotted ont sixteen

Gar as this writer is concerned, he
has had all desire for seeking Office

dom OF tho House.
The first baby in a family Is usually
privileged and tyfannical being, for
whom the entire house, from attic to
cellar, is an open domain, and the In
habitants thereof humble and willing
Slaves; tnt whCa his or her brothers
and sisters arrive to share these rights
and honors, those long suffering elders
rise in mutiny against a trio or quar-
tette of infantile rulers, and declare
their authority and influence are to be
respected only within the limited bounds
of q certain room known as the nursery,
says a writer in the illustrated Ameri-
cans ..r
Now, In the average American home,
where mothers are confronted with the
necessity of providing playground
and sanctum in which to accommodate
her accommodating family of little ones,
her choice is, in nine cases out of ten,
for that apartment for which she feels
she has the least need for other pur-
poses. The back room, perhaps, it will
be, of the second or third floor, that
looks out on unattractive back courts
and white, board divisions, between
paved yards, where melancholy displays
of the weeks washing flap in the
breeze, and where the sun is not too
generous of his rays. Then, if she be
an Industrious mother and capable
housckccper, whose adherence is dust
anddisorder, she relegates to the socalled
nursery certain tables, chairs, curtains
and q carpet that have been banished
from the other rooms, and by reason of
their faded colors and battered varnish
are regarded as sufficiently serviceable
to enjoy miserable old age at the
mercy of the children. Now, into ch
bare, colorless and unattractiye apart
mcnt, babies, with their nurses, and
loud-lunged, strong-limbed little boys
and girls are required to spend three
fourths of their infantile days. There
they play, and perhaps have larger
part of their meals seven days out of
each week, and the mother vaguely
wonders why it is that, after awhile,
as the babies grow older, they prefer
any other room ii the house to their
nursery; that there are wry faces and
impatient words when they are told to
run and stay in their own room; and,
for that matter, the children themselves
could not explain this preference.
