OLIVE SMITH, brother of Richard
Smith, OF Madison, Monroe county,
left in the spring of 80 for California,
during the gold excitement, and was
not heard of here until last spring.
He worked in the mines there for a
year, and upon hearing that his wife
was dead, he drifted away to the
gold fields of Australia. He wrote
several letters back home, which mis-
carried from some cause, and receiv-
ing no answer he gave up the idea of
returning, cOntenting himself to live
in his new home. He left four chill
dren here, all of whom are dead, they
leaving two children. His wife is still
living, at the age of 81 years. He
was 26 years old when he went away.
Mr.. Smith will return home next
month, and no doubt will meet
hearty welcome from his wife and rel
atives, as well as old friends, many
of whom have long thought him
dead.

aeELsEs.s vass OF cARpuI for Weak Nerves.

A CORRESPONDENT writing from
Maysville, Gentry county, to the st.
Louis Republic, says: "There are
few advocates of the sub-treasury
scheme in this county and they argue
in support'of their claim that the
government issues certificates to per-
sons who put whiskey in bonded
warehouses, and that such certificates
are legal tender in payment of debts
and circulate asmoney." Thosewho
make such claim are either very ig-
norant or hopelessly y mendacious.
Government warehouse receipts for
whiskey are not legal tender, nor or
they money in any sense whatever.
They represent whiskey and they are
only good for what whiskey is good
for.

We desire to say to our citizens,
that for years we have been selling
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-

Small Size of Great Men.

IT is remarkable fact, although
rather paradoxical, it must be ad-
mitted, that many of the worlds
greatest men have been small ofstat-
ure. Sheridan was known the world
over as Little Phil" George B. Nc
Clellan was of but little larger build.
Napoleon's nickname, "The Little
Corporal" is a household word in
every civilized country. 'The Little
Iron Duke (the Duke of Wellington)
was often twitted on account OF his
small stature and big nose. General
Lord) Woolseley is said to be ridic-
ulously small and to be compelled to
shorten his stirrups until they would
hardly serve a 1O-year-old boy when
he rides horseback. Ones minds
eye is likely to picture Gladstone as
a giant both physically and intellect
ually, but it remains fact that the
grand old man is but 5 feet s inches
high.

1T is true that westward the star
of empire takes its way" but there
are some peculiarities about Missouri
that makes a pastorate or a resi-
dence in it very desirable thing.
Missouri must be the great central
power in the years to come. Her nat
ural resources make her the equal of
any and the superior of most. The
emigration that is to flee from the
east will settle in this land of abun-
dance. We have every thing here
that others have, and many things
not found elsewhere. Our domain is
large. You may place the whole of
New England down in Missouri and
we would have 1000 square miles
left.

of wheat in Europe is creating the
widest excitement in American

a profitable price for this seasons

TO FOreigners I'm Canton.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 27.-Ad-
vices just received from China give par
ticulars of fresh dcpredations by the
Chinese against missionaries.
The latest attack was made at Yam
kas, on June Goth, when the Catholic
mission was methodically looted, the
crowd of Chinese passing things from
hand to hand in chain. The buildings
were afterwards set on fire. A few DAYS
previous four chapels were destroyed in
Kiangsi, near the city of Fuchow.
The chapel, school and residence Of
priest were looted and burned on June
26. On the same day some predatory
bands completely DESTROYED the French
orphanage at place called Haimen. In
addition to the destruction of this or
phanage, eight or nine of the wretched
little children cared for in the building
were carried off
A correspondent writes to the China
Mail that there is a rumor in Canton
that disturbance has taken place in
Fukinan province. 1t is said the rebels
are several thousand strong and have
captured a city. The intelligent Chinese,
he ADDS, think it will be difficult for for
elgners in Canton to escape. A junk con-
tanning three merchants, a crew of seven
and nine passengers were attacked June
Is shortly alter dusk by FIVE junks con-
tanning armed men off the port of Kingho

SANDWICH, Mass, July 27.-The recep-
tion to ex-presdent Cleveland lasted till
nearly O'Clock. when the assembly ad-
journed to the casino, where banquet
was served. When Cleveland entered
and took his seat on the stage he was
given great ovation, ladies waving
handkerchiets and gentlemen cheering.
Three cheers were given for the next
President.
As Cleveland rose to address the as
sembly he was greeted with continuous
applause and cheers. When the enthu-
siasm had subsidized Mr.. Cleveland re-
piled to the toast, "Our neighbor."
In introducing his remarks Mr.. Cleve-
land said II suppose that when you
greet me as your neighbor today, you
have in mind that | have come among
you to spend at least large part ofeach
year, and that intend to maintain this
sort of residence here as long as the ex-
pence OF farming and fishing enables me
from my slender purse to meet your rate
of tax and cost Of provisions. In the
meantime, declare my intention to be a
good neighbor. No quarrcls can arise
over my line fences, for have none"
Mr. Cleveland went on and made a
truly neighborly speech. He said:
I'VE can be tolerant to one another.
We can constantly test our political be-
liefs by the light of patriotism and good
citizenship. We can be brave enough
and honest enough to follow where they
lead. We shall thus elevate our political
effort and find incentives to activity in
determination to doIso, and in making our
country as great as it ought to be, and
in securing to ourselves and our fellow
citizens, that happiness and prosperity
due all OF us under free government by
the people.
Speaking of the high honors he had
enjoyed and OF his presidential career,
Mr.. Cleveland facetiously said: "Oi
course the subject would be relieved OF
all uncertainty and embarrassment il
every president were to die at the end oi
his term. This does not seem, however
to meet the views of those who, under
such an arrangement, would be called
upon to do the dying, and so some ot
them continue to live and thus perpetu
ate the perpexity of those who burden
themselves with plans for their utiliza-
tion of disposition"
Mr.. Cleveland's remarks were happy
and appropriate throughout and were
frequently applaudcd, and as he closed
there was another outburst of applause
Gov. Russell was then introduced
The Governor spoke warmly in eulogy o.
Mr.. Cleveland's administration.
