LETTER FROM MISSOURI.
New Harmony, Mo., Oct. 25.
Dear Journal : This place is about half
way between the cities of Mexico and Louis
nniu, a place which one might term as rail
road killed since the Louisania and Mexico
road, now in process of construction, passes
four miles north of it. There are two gro
ceries and a post office in it, one with a
sign informing the passers by that “FOTaters”
are sold here, while a little farther up reads,
“Waggon shop by J. S. Branstetter & Son,
& reparing done at siiort notice.” As the sign
reads, reparing must be the third member of
the firm. The city of Louisania is located
on the west side of the Mississippi, contains
about four thousand inhabitants, of whom a
large number were property before Uncle
Abe’s Emancipation Proclamation. Five
lumber yards well stocked, proclaim that the
article is in good demand. Flour mills, wine
and whiskey distilleries, with other things
common to eastern cities, go to make up tho
labors and interests of the place. There is a
fine school building in the upper part of the
city large enough to contain twelve depart
ments. I regret that my time and health did
not permit me to visit it. The city as viewed
from Clinton Heights is well laid out and ap
pears from this distance to be crowded.
There is a sort of sleepy dullness about the
place to one accustomed to the noisy bustle
of the cities east. One meets Reb soldiers
and officers everywhere, but in all cases they
are polite and affable unless political subjects
are broached. The Radicals are extremists
on their side as the Democracy on theirs. A
new party composed of “Bolters” from the
Radical party, styling themselves “Liberals,”
support Col. Dyer, who favors enfranchise
ment, and goes against Protective Tariff. I
enclose the Republican State and county
ticket with their platform. There is no sub
ject now demanding so much attentien and
interest as politics. The election comes off
Nov. 8. Joseph.
A “SELL OX DICKENS.
In his “American notes” Mr. Dickens
sketched in his best sarcastic vein a man
whom lie encountered on a steamboat,
and of whom he wrote :
There was never such a curious man.
I wore a great fur coat at that time, and
before we were well clear of the wharf he
questioned me concerning it, anditsprice,
and where 1 bought it, and when, and
what fur it was and what it cost. And
then lie took notice of my watch, and
asked what that cost, and w hether it was
a French watch, and where I got it, and
how 1 got it, and whether L bought it or
had it given to me, and how it went, and
where the keyhole was, and when I
wound it, every night or every morning,
and whether I ever forgot to wind it at
all, auil if 1 did what then? Where I had
been to last, and where I was going to
next, and where I was going to alter that,
and had i seen the President, and what
diil he say, anil what did I say, and what
did he say when I had said it! Eh? Lor
now! do tell!
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, however, says:
The man w ith a light, fresh-colored
face, and a pepper-and-salt suit of clothes,
w ho w as the most inquisitive felllow that
can possibly lie imagined,” lived here in
lt>12, and lias since been sheriff of Centre
county, lie and a party of friends were
returning home form llarrisburg, and,
being naturally of a jovial turn of mind,
•‘made game” of Dickens the entire trip.
The sheriff was the leading spirit of tho
party, and furnished them uninterrupted
amusement by his semi-idiotic manner,
and his persistent cross-examination of
Mr. Dickens. The story as published is
not too strongly drawn. The sheriff
played the native American to perfection,
ami, as the event showed, completely sold
the English party and retinue. When the
•■American Notes" first appeared people
about here recalled the sheriff's original
version of the incident and were intense
ly amused.
