VAR ON NuNNER1Es.-The followil

WAR ON NUNNERIEs.- following
resolution was passed before the final
adjournment of the Christian Endeavor
Convention, at Sedalia, Mo-, Tuesday !:
Whereas, In various places in Mis-
souri, for many years the Constitution
of the United States has been violated
and civil liberty outraged in that help
less girls and women have been illegal
ly and cruelty held in condition of
slavery in prison houses not recognized
by the law of the land, viz, nunneries,
reformatories, and converts; now
therefore, we, representatives of the
Christian Endeavor societies of Mis-
souri,, 100000 strong, do most earnestly
request the Governor of Missouri to
recommend legislation which shall pre-
vent the unwarranted arrest and deten-
ton of any person whatever in this
State. We further request the General
Assembly of Missouri TO pass said laws
to the end that the grievous wrongs be
summarily stopped"

HOOKING MIRO THE COFFIN.

The grave 10 the valley Of Napoleon,
as the place had come to be called, was
surrounded by an iron railing set in q
heavy stone curb. Over the grave was
covering of siX-inch stone, which ad-
mitted to vault eleven feet deep,
eight feet long, and four feet
eight inches broad, and was apparently
filled with earth, But digging down
some seven feet q layer of Roman ce-
ment was found; this broken, laid bare
a layer of rough -hewn stone ten inches
thick, and fastened together by iron
clamps. 1t took four and one half hours
to remove this layer. The stone up, the
slab forming the lid of the interior sar-
cophagus was exposed, enclosed in
border of Roman cement strongly at
tached to the walls of the vault. So
stoutly had all these various coverings
been sealed with cement and bound by
iron bands, that it took the large party
of workers ten hours to reach the coffin.
1.-THE outermost coffin was slightly
injured" says an eye witness; then
came one of lead which was in good
condition, and enclosed two others
--one of tin and one OF wood
The last coffin was lined inside with
white satin, which, having be-
come detached by the effect oftime, had
fallen upon the body and enveloped it
like winding sheet, and had become
slightly attached to it.
at is difficult to describe with what
anxiety and emotion those who were
present waited for the moment which
was to expose to them all that was left
of the Emperor Napoleon. Notwith-
standing the singular state of preserya-
ton ofthe tomb and coffins, we could
scarcely hope to find anything but
some misshapen remains of the least
perishable part of the custume to evil
dence the identity of the body. But
when DIR. Guillard raised the sheet of
satin, an indescribable feeling ofsurprise
and affection was expressed by the
spectators, many of whom burst into
tears. The Emperor himself was be-
fore their eyes The features of the
face, though changed, were perfectly
recognized; the hands extremely beauti-
full; his well-known costume had suffer-
ed but little, and the colors were easily
distinguished. The attitude itself was
full of ease, and but for the fragments
of satin lining which covered, as with
fine gavze, several parts OF the uniform,
we might have believed we still saw
Napoleon lying on his bed of state. ~

II Did the Business.

Mr.. ]. H. Cobb, publisher of the
Mirror at Brocton, n. Y, says: "For
nearly two years the Mirror has been
publishing the advertisements of Cham
oerlain's Remedies. A few days ago
the writer was suffering from bowel
trouble and resorted to an old remedy
which did not prove eficacious; finally
he tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and two doses
did the business, checking it complete.

What was predicted Of W. c. Brown.
the former superintendent of the
Rock Island & St. Louis division OF
the c., B. & O., is about to come to
pass. Unless all signs fail Mr..
Brown will Jan. l enter one of the
highest Offices connected with the
Burlington system. He is to become
general manager, succeeding w. f.
Merrill, who has offered his resig-
nation to take effect Jan. to accept
the position of second vice president
of the Erie lines, with Office in New
York. His new duties will involve
the practical operation and mainte-
nance of the road. Mr.. Brown, who
has risen steadily in the service OF
the Q since his promotion from the
superintendency OF the Rock Island
and st. Louis division. is at present
general manager of the Hannibal &
st. Joseph, st. Louis. Keokuk &
Northwestern, Kansas City. St. Jo-
seph & Council Bluffs, and Chicago,
Burlington & Kansas City railroads.
Though Mr.. Brown is q compare
lively young man yet, being born in
1853. he has already gained a most
enviable reputation as an able and
efficient operating official. He
worked his way up from locomotive
fireman and afterward telegraph
operator step by step to his present
high position. He commenced ser.
vice with the Burlington as train
dispatcher in 1876 and has been with
the company ever since. Previous
to that he was with the Rock Island,
Illinois Central and other western
roads.

COUNCIL SIDE TALK.

Matters which Came Up st Last NlghtS
Aldsrmanlc Meeting.
At last evenings council meeting
complaint was made against the
Tri-City Sprinkler company in
Its alleged persistent disregard
of reqnests to settle the ac-
count of $500 due the citv
for wster. The city attorney was
instructed to request the COMPANY
to make q statement.
Aid. Nelson complained of the bad
condition of Thirtieth street, which
he said the property-holder were long
desirous Of having improved. He
further stated that this thoroughfare
had run down so because of no atten-
tention being given it in view of its
many times contemplated improve
ment until it is now almost impassa-
BILE, and being one of the prominent
inlets to the city it should be re-
paired. The matter was referred to
the street and alley committee to see
to it that the street is placed in a
passable condition.
Further time was granted the
committee on the river. front i'm.
provement.
Skating Park Licenses.
The aldermen INDUCED in quite a
lengthy discussion of the skating
rink license question. Aid. Kenne-
dy's attention was attracted by the
opening of a rink and he inquired as to
whether the proprietor had secured
q permit and had remitted the $50
as required by the ordinance. Some
of the aldermen couldn't see any JUS
tice in charging property holders
conducting a resort of this nature on
their own ground. Others believed
the ordinance did not refer to skating
parks, but roller rinks. Aid. Foss
believed if the real meaning was not
understood the council could inter-
pret the ordinance as it saw fit. Bat
his opinion was not acquiesced in.
So the question was finally disposed
of, the council instructing the draft
ing of repeating ordinance.
The city attorney was instructed
to ascertain the proposed stand of
the Rockford Construction company
as to the repairing of the defective
Twentieth street paving. which it
has been frequently requested to
remedy as per its contract with the
city, and report the answer at the
next meeting.
