A ROYAL KIss.-Some of the journals are
stating that the Prince of Wales is the first
heir apparent to the throne of England who
has ever visited the United States but this is q
mistake. Doubtless many readers are familiar
with an anecdote of William ". before he
came to his estate to the following effect:


While iE New York the Prince called at a
barber's shop TO be shaved. When the opera
tIon was completed he stepped up TO the bar
ber's pretty wife, who chanced TO be present,
and giving her kiss, remarked, There, now,
You can say you have been kissed by one of
The Royal family" The barber choosing to
receive this as an insult seized the Prince,
and helping him out of the shop with his foot,
exclaimed There, now you can say that you
have received royal kick from a freeman"

four weeks, and came home on Thursday
night with new bottle of liquor, which his
wife destroyed after he had gone to bed. In
Inc morning, as usual, he was very sick and

The Health of the City continues unusually
good, so much SO that many physicians have
little to do TO employ their time. The Ceun-
cal, In adopting ordinances, have endeayored
to insure cleanliness in all sections of the
town. but as they have failed to authorize the
health officer TO visit back yards and cellars,
and report their condition, they have not in
sured what they desired. 1t is of but little
avail for one resident to keep his premises in
perfect order, If his neighbor is allowed to
make hog pen or a cess pool of his cellar and
lot. This may not be the case in a single in :
stance but, as all people are not equally

QUEEN VICTORIA ~ GERMANY.-We copy
the following from the Bulletins late Pony
Express news:


Queen Victoria had extended her eonG-

time of the last advices was at Coburg. The
attentions which the citizens OF the United
States offered her son are said to be far sur
passed by the demonstrations of the people

Coblentz, on which the Queen was tra> cling,
came near having a collision with the regu-

Brohl, the watchman suddenly saw the extra
train rushing in one direction and the regular
one in the opposite, directly against each 9th
er. His red flag of darger was seen by both
engineers, waving the extra train to stop. the
other to return to the station The extra
train was moving at lightning speed, and
could not at once be brought to; the engin-
eer OF the other undertook to rev erse his en-
gine and the machinery refused to work

companion, but before doing So he deter

time with success and when the extra train
came laundering up the other had began to
gather way, and the crash was inst barely
escaped. A few seconds more and the acci-
dent would have had place in history
through all time; for, upon the extra train
were not only the Queen of England. but
her husband, Prince Albert her daughter
Alice, Lord John Russell, and the entire roy

As much Of the Illinois and Wisconsin
currency alloat is based on Missouri bonds,
it is interesting to know their standing. So
long as interest is paid on such obligations
before maturity, they are considered safe,
unless under very extraordinary circum-
stances that are not likely to happen with
Missouri. To show how Missouri bonds
should be regarded, we copy two photographic
from the St. Louis Republican of the 22d :


AS regards tbe payment of the interest on
our State bonds and the bonds of the couu-
ty falling due presently in New York, II
may he answered in reply to some inquiries
that with those well informed there is no
doubt Of its being met promptly. The county
has entered into arrangements that insure
its being placed in New York at the day.
Negotiations are in progress for anticipating
the State revenue so as to make it certain
that the interest on the State bonds viii be
paid promptly.


STATE INTEREsT.-The Treasurer of this
State publishes that he will be prepared TO
pay the interest falling due on all the Mis-
souri, State Bonds on the lst of January
next. This is timely notice, we apprehend,
for all those who have persistently sought
to depreciate the credit OF this State, with
out any good reason for it, and now let
them hold their peace.

Such were the words of one whose youth
had not yet lost its bloom She had re
sisted the striyinga of the Spirit Of God,
and she felt that he had left her. Twice
in her life time he had come with special
power to her heart Doubtless she had
had many thoughtful moments when lis
tening 10 the warning of Sabbath sermons,
or when standing by the solemn death bed
and the open grave. But more directly
marked than these, she could recall two
separate occasions when she knew that the
Holy Spirit was pleading with her. Re
pulsed OF neglected at the first call, he de
parted, yet came again. A second time
was heard the secret whisper, and again
she refused to listen DAYS, perhaps
months passed on, and the Spirit'e voice
was hushed, while she who once wept or
prayed grew careless as before, until in in
difference or despair, she could say, 81
never expect TO be anxious again"

haps, through Gods grace, her spirit re
newed and saved, may yet sing the hum

that repeatedly grieves the Spirit of God
