A very few minutes elapsed be
tween the expiration of the special
session and the regular session of
Congress, but our strenuous Pres
idcnt, who is quick of trigger,
found ample time in the interim to
reappoint Gen. Wood to be Il Ma
jor General. and the negro Crum to
be Collector of the Port at Charles
ton, s. c., whose confirmation had
failed at the special session, and
thus hold them in their respective
positions pending confirmation or
rejection by the Senate in regular
session. If he hadn't reappointed
them in the short interval between
the two sessions, the Offices would
have become vacant, and an APP
pointment made in vacation holds
until the following session of Con.
gress confirms or rejects, hence the
Presidents hustling to reappolnt
before the regular session was
called to order.

1t is not generally known by Mis-
sourians who have heard this song,
and have even sung it themselves at
country dances, that it is nm old Eng.
Ii,h ballad, from three to five cen
turtles old, and that it, preservation in
the mouths Of the people west OF the
Mississippi River down into the TWEEN
ricth century is a fact Of very decided
interest to literary scholars The
version Of which the first Stan1a is
given above differs from that common
ly found in the ballad collections,
where the piece is called The Two
sisters and has for its refrain "liin-
noric. O Bmnoric" instead of "Bow
Down" But the story is the same:
As they was ii walking by the sou"y nrlm
The oldest pushed the youngest In.
sister. O sister. lend me- your hand.

! Al want is your true loves hand.
"DpHn she sank nnd away she swan
If IL. mai .tt p. g. Ia
nrhc miller shall De hung ON his OWN min
cute
For drowndlng my poor sister kate"
The story, plainly enough, i, a
tragic one, however the song may have
come to lose it, original dignity
And it has a good deal more genuine
literary worth than most Of our cur
rent NOVELTIES. The abruptncss ol
transition from act to act of the trng.
cdy, the rapidity and dramatic intcn.
sity with which the story is told, are
in the true ballad manner. Thi'
style of composition is very old
older than the first English settle.
mculs in America, older than our Eng
fish translation of the Bible.
There is good deal Of this old
poetry still to be found in Missouri
Some of it, like the specimen here
given, was brought from over sea by
the colunists two centuries aud more
ago; some of it. doubtless, was made
by our own Western pioneers on tho
model of the old English ballads
Such, for instance, is probably Young

A decision of the Supreme Court
rendered last Friday will, accord
ing to the press reports, knock out
all criminal proceedings instituted
on information under the 1901 law
by Circuit and Prosecuting Attor-
neys and lacking the veriiication Of
n witness on affidavit, instead of be-
ing brought under grand jury in

by the same court. The decision
will create a shaking up in crimi-
nal prosecutions all over the State,
MS it is estimated that it will affect
Mt least 3 900 cases now pending on
information. 1t is also estimated
that about twenty men have been
convicted of murder and hanged
on information proceeding, and
hundreds have been sent to the
penitentiary. Several of the st.
