Hyde--TyIer.

The following is an extract from
letter received last Saturday from the
Rev. H. Hatcher:
s.Mr. Hyde and Mrs. Tyler parted
in the early summer of 1865, and never
saw nor heard of each other until
about two years ago. They were
young then, and in the meantime Mr..
Hyde married Miss Lucy J. Long OF
Paris, Mo-, and raised quite a family,
and seven years ago his wife died.
About two years ago the little children
of VIM. E. Hill of Keytesville were
visiting relatives in St. Louis, and by
some fortunate circumstance they met
Mrs. Tyler, who asked after her old
friend of long ago, and sent him word
that she was a widow and living in st.
Louis. Mr.. Hyde was in fine frame
of mind on receiving this message
from his friend of long ago, and a
correspondence was soon commenced
The result was renewal of old. ac-
quaintanceship, and then the steps on
ward were easy and natural, and on
Tuesday, May 17th, 1 had the high
prerogative of uniting them in holy
marriage. May she find warm well
come at her new home and among
her new friends"

Iti said that the three obstacles
that have stood in the way of the In
vaslon of Cuba have been the rainy
season, the Spanish fleet and the lack
of general information regarding Cuba
and the insurgents. As to the wet
weather, Cuba has not had a mono
poly of it this season, and the Missouri
troops ought to be used to water by
this time. The Spanish fleet does not
appear to be in sight or within reach,
and respecting a knowledge of the
island and the insurgents the most ef-
fectual method of maintaining lgnor-
ance on these points would seem to be
to keep away from Cuba.

Regarding the Indictment Of Gu!

Regarding the Indictment of Gus
Leftwich's children by the Daviess
county court, Mark Leftwitch, 2
brother of the deceased, says: "Once
more the injustice of the grand jury
system is verified. This time In the
county, where two innocent children
have been forced to suffer the dis
grace of being indicted for the murder
of their father, our brother, Gus Left
wich, who, prior to his death, edited
the Galletin Dem0crat, in order that q
morbid curiosity be satiated and the
good name q of a community ab-
solved. This indictment will rob .
family of the few hard earned dollars
he left them to make a proper defense,
but truth and justice viii prevail and
the stain taken from them in the end.

Never send a dollar away from
home when the article that dollar will
purchase can be obtained at home.
Money is our commercial bloom. It's
circulation keeps the body alive.
Bleed the body by sending the money
away and business will put on a look
of lethatgic inactivity. Always trade
at home. Watch the bargains offered
by enterprising advertisers in the
COURIER, and you will learn the best
place to spend those dollars.

One of the boys in camp recently
received the following letter from the
homefolks: "Read your Bible three
hours every day, and be sure to have
singing and family prayer before re-
tiring at night. Carry New Testa-
ment with you in battle, and read
marked passages when there is lull
in the firing. When you have shot a
Spaniard hasten to his side and see
if he is thoroughly converted. If he Is
not, give him tract. Say grace be-
fore each meal: and if there are no
meals, say it anyhow, for fear you will
get out of practice. Remember al.
ways that in the midst of life we are
in death, be cheerful and good ma
tured.''

Itrequires a good deal of nerve on
the part of an editor to be constantly
telling the public of the advantages for
trade his town possesses when there
are merchants in the town who are
too close to spend a dollar year for
advertising. Some men in a town
will come and tell the editor to say a
good word for this or that; tell him
that it is his duty to boom the town,
push every enterprise and do hum
dred other things, and yet when they
are asked to advertise they viii say
they don't believe in advertising or
that they can't afford it. Some people
seem TO actually believe that the whole
duty of newspaper is to boom the
town, and they never seem to have
the remotest idea that it costs any
thing to publish a newspaper.

field Union, an uncompromising Pop
ulist paper, which supported Capk f
Eads. The Union warbled forth
thusly:
THE BEST OF ALL.
IN rule the roost this year. Sammy,
Mind what say, you heeds!
When you go to the primary
Vote straight for Col. Eads.
ForsI know what is the best, Sammy
know what the country needs;
So at the primary Saturday
You vote for Capt. Eads.
He's the very best of all, Sammy
1 know flowers from weeds);
So when you go to the primary
You vote for VIM. Eads.
/ know what I'm saying, Sammy,
He'll send me garden seeds;
So when you vote at the primary
You'll vote for old Bill Eads.
So don't you be fool, Sammy,
Or you'll sleep with me no more;
II Eads loses the primary i
You'll sleep on the kitchen floor.
The Brookfeld Daily Eagle. whose
editor was a staunch friend of judge
Rucker, responded to the Union AZ
follows:
When Bailey's "press" is widely read
Cap Eads viii get to congress;
When honest voters all are dead.
Cap Eads will get to congress;
When terra firma melts with heat,
When all the bitter will be sweet,
Then Bailey's joy,will be complete
For Eads will get to congress.
When Hanna viii bepresident,
/ Cap Eads viii get to congress;
When hi is not for boodlers meant,
Cap Eads will get to congress.
When telephone viii reach the moon
fWhen midnight comes At the hour %
noon,
Then note the change, for just so soon
| Cap Eads will get to congress.
When Uncle Sam bows down to Spain.
| Cap Eads will get to congress;
When every Yankee soldiers slain,
| Cap Eads will get to congress.
| When GabrlePs trumpet blows its
| blast,
And graves give up their dead at last,
Then Captain Eads thou truly hast
| Thy longed-for seat in congress.
| And now that the fight is all over
land Judge Rucker has come out on
top, the COURIER editor man pays his
respects to Sammy's wife as follows:
jSammy's wife didn't rule the roost,
| AS the vote from Linn will show;
Sammy didn't give Eads boost,
i And Sammy's wife must eat her crow.
!, Sammy's wife will rue the day
| When he sleeps with her no more;
And if Sammy'll only come this way
| He'll not sleep on the kitchen floor.
WEN kill for him the fatted calf.
And upon his finger put ring;
Give Sanmy's wife the equine laugh,
And fiddle, and feast, and dance
and sing.
Sammy's invited to the ball,
For he knows thing or two;
Sammy's wife didn't know it at all,
Although she thinks she do.
5 Sammy'Il get some garden seeds
In fact will get his fullest needs;
| But Sammy's wife must live on weeds
Because she was for Capt. Eads.

The Original Organ Grinder.

When barrel organs, once the usual
accompaniment of the magic lantern,
came into use, a native of the provinces
of Tende was one of the first who tray
eled about Europe with this instrument
In his peregrinations he collected
money enough to enable him to purchase
from the king of Sardinia the title of
count of the country where he was born
for which, probably, in time Of war
he did not nay above 1000 guineas-
With the remainder of his money he
purchased en- estate suitable to his rank
and settled himself peaceably for the
remainder of his days in his mansion.
In the entrance hall of his dwelling
he hung up his magic lantern and his
organ facing the door. there to be care
fully preserved till they moldered to
dust, and he ordered by his will that
any one of his descendants who should
cause them to be removed should forfeit
his Inheritance and his patrimony revert
to the next heir, or, in failure of a sue
cessor, to the hospital of Tende.
Only few years ago the organ and
lantern we've still to be seen carefully
preserved. -Pearson' Weekly.

The Modern Agnostic.

We look at our churches with their
congregations, growing in numbers and
dwindling in faith, says H. q. Chap.
man in The Atlantic, and we ask our
selves: In all these buildings, cheap or
costly, what real prayers rise, and of
those that rise do any get above the
roof? What God hears them and has
there ever been an answered prayer? We
look at the face Of the dead and repeat
a burial service. If after the manner {
men have fought with beasts at Ephe-
sus, what advantageth it me if the dead
rise not? And as we say tie words we
ask ourselves, "Do the dead rise?" And
if any one is found who believes these
things he knows that there is another
at his elbow who believes them not a
whit or an atom, and these two can hit
on no universe that shall satisfy both,
nor can one be. poet to the othar.
