a lMsjrracful Sensation.
The Eelove i Pa-tor of tie Former
Tails Victim to His Last.
Sedalia I )ciHocrat iv.nc IZ : V'lom
a 2entic:nan who came in on the
train from the south, vesterday, a
Deuiooiai reporter was iveii tile
particular-s ot 1 ricli sensation that is
aid to a e occurred at LaDue last
Saturday niirht. The Democrat
i;ies the particulars as related, omit
ting the names, that no harm maybe
dene where tiaiin is not intended.
One ot the characters in the disgrace
ful mid scandalous affair is an animal
after the pattern of man, who has
stolen the livery ot heayen to aid
him in his work of deception and vil
lainy. Hut, though he is a man, not
worthy the respect or recogniton of
good men and women, he, neverthe
less, gives name to a wife and daugh
ter for whom .sympathy should be
given, instead of shame and humili
ation. He is a husband, trusted,
though deceptive ; a father honored,
though unw orthy ; a citizen who has
been respected, though undeserving;
a minister who was esteemed, though
now exposed. i?ut there is a wife
and a daughter who must suffer the
pangs of remorse for this sycophant's
misdeeds; and for their sake let the
mantel of chanty be spread and
names suppressed. The informant
said :
In the town of Montrose has lived
a minister whose iamily is at present
now in Illinois. This minister, while
wearing the robes of piety, and mov
ing in the circle of Christianity, was
plying his arts with evil intent. In
the town ot LaDue there lives a
maiden of plenty admirers, who pos
sessed charms, that attracted this de
vout ( r) servant of the master. lie
looked on her with lustful design,
and she reciprocated his glances.
Ho courted, and she responded. An
attachment was formed that was
thought to be not entirely for the
glory of God. The minister made
frequent visits to LaDue, and of late
his visits became regular and often.
Suspicion was at once aroused, and
it was w hispered around that "sister
so and so is no better than she ought
to be," and that "the preacher is a
little too devoted to the welfare ot
sister so-and-so." Some of the less
devout members ventured to surmise
that something else than the sister's
spiritual welfare was interesting the
lau ot God. Others made bold to
opine that it was her charms, her
beauty, her willingness and the
preacner's lust for worldly pleasure
that had wrought such an affinity be
tween the two. Eavedroppers had
caught messages that bore a myste
rious meaning; anxious observers
had seen, movements that were sus
picious. The conduct of the two
had grown more indicative, until
some of the youths of Montrose and
LaDue organized and decided on a
plan of action that vill be explained
in the lines to follow. A letter was
addressed to the prnacher, purport
ing to come from the young lady,
asking him to meet her at a certain
hour, in LaDue on Saturday night.
Saturday night's train brought the
preacher to LaDue, and he wentim
mediately to the place designated in
the letter. The boys were there and
prepared for him. One ot their
number, ot a feminine appearance,
dressed in female attire was detailed
to represent the young lady When
the preacher approached the boy in
female guise, he was greeted with,
'Well I was so afraid you wouldn't
come." He aas.vered. "I wouldn't
disappoint my little pet tor anything,
and, without further waste of words
and time, the expounder of holy writ
encirled his supposed darling's waist
with the very arm that had so often
made the gestures ia an enthusiastic
sermon upon the sins ot the world
and the; waywardness of man. The
twain wcr.t into a vacant nor.e. Ev
ervthip.'jc was hi re.idmess, and at the
signal the "hgl:: was turned on."
and the man of p raver beat a hatv
retreat. The boy on trie outsitc

j the door, and when the preacher
emerged from the building he was

The Exposition and Immigration.
From Courier-journci, June 4.
Because foreign immigrants gen
erally prrfer the Northwestern
States, the press of the North con
cludes no immigrants are going
South. Hence w hen the census was
taken and all the Southern states
showed a large increase in population
the utmost incredulity seized on the
Northern mind. The probabilities are
now that the next census will be a
greater surprise than that of 1S0O.
During the past ten years about
3,500,000 immigrants have found
homes in America. This immense
number naturally disturbs affairs ;
these new comers crowd all the
avenues of labor and industry and
drive out thousands from the cities
to find employment in the agricultur
al districts. These in turn creat a
demand for good farming lands, and
gradually land in the North increases
in price. This increase induces men
with farms in the older states to part
with their homes to buy more land
or farms for their children 111 locali
ties more sparsely settled where laud
is cheap.
'1 his moving, restless title
of American agriculturists grows
larger each year and is swelled by
the coming ot every immigrant ship,
and diese men are now turning to
the South.
Another influence which is thaw
ing farmers of the North and East to
the South is the climate. The long,
cold winters are discouraging, not
only to the weak and the sick, but
the strong, hard-working and am
bitious laborer, and if he can get a
good farm at a low price in a milder
climate he is apt to move. This
change would have begun long ago
but tor slavery, and is even now re
tarded by the presence of the negro
in the South.
The farmers ot New England, of
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and even of Illinois want to
know more about the South, and they
are coming to Louisville to gratify
this knowledge. They natuarly ex
pect to see at a Southern Exposition
a full representation of the products
ot the soil. It a southern state cant
produce anything but cotton, ihey
take it tor granted that this fact will
be demonstrated at the Southern Ex
position next August. If any state
neglects this opportunity to adver
tise her cheap lands and fertile soil it
will be said everywhere she exhibit
ed nothing because she had nothing
to exhibit.
The Agricultural Committee of
the Southern Exposition will do all
in its power to make known in the
north the vast capabilities of south
ern agriculture. Its inxhaustible
richness and variety the south itselt
is only just now begining to under
stand, as is evidenced by the growth
of truck farming and stock raising.
Heretofore the impression has been
widespread that the south was not a
grass-growing country. The delu
sion is fast disappearing, and the
Agricultural Committer can do
nothing better than to induce Proi.
j a
I Phares. ot Starkvilie, Miss., to pre-
I pare a complete exhibit of the grasses j
i ot the south, with a statement ot
j their character and value.
Out this is not sutiicicnt : if a per-
tect. or bv any means satistactory

to be made, if we are to show our
! inquisitive northern visitor that oar

me tate
notably Ar-
; Kansas. Kentucky. Tennessee and
; I" lortda. are now preparing exhibits
; which will inform and attract the
(prospecting immigrant, but every
I state in the south should take hold of
this matter m the most vigorous
way.
This is the south's opportunity.
More Northern people w ill come to
Louisville than could bv any meat:
be induced to got ar.v other south
ern city. It is ,:o rah estimate to
place the attendance here during the
hundred days at one million. As
we have said, these visitors will be
made up. to a large extent, of fami
lies in search of cheap ami produc
tive lands. In addition to this the
Exposition will be the industrial
event ot the year, and it will receive,
as it has already received. w idespread
attention from the press. It the
south is here with the products of
her fields as well as of her mines
t she seeds corn and wheat and to
bacco as well as iron, peaches and
pears and grassess as well as cotton,
silk and sugar, vegetables and grain
of all kinds, as well as a variety ot
timber if the south will make an
exhibit of this character, which she
can well make, it will do more to
attract attention, to bring us immi
grants and capital, than w ithout such
as exhibit she can accomplish m ten
years with all her immigration bu
reaus and land syndicates actively
at work after their usual and well
approved methods.
We hope to see the press direct
special attention to this feature of
the exhibition, which, as far as the
south is concerned, is the most im
portant feature of all. During the
month of May 140,000 acres of land
were entered in Missippi, but this is
only an indication of the change in
tide which .should enrich every south
ern state.
A Phenomenon.
From the Joplin,- Mo., News.
A few minutes after twelv e o'clock
yesterday during the thunder
storm, S. Haggard, who lives m
what is known as the Irwin house,
on the Paxton land, north of town,
was sitting in the east front room ot
the house looking west, a door lead
ing into the west trout room being
open, and also a window fronting
to the west. Suddenly he noticed a
small ball of tire, apparently about
the size of an ordinary base-ball,
coming towards the house, and be
fore he h?.d time to stire it had enter
ed the house through the open win
dow, and apparently m the center of
the room exploded with a deafening
report, scattering a show er of sparkes
in every direction, which, strange to
relate, went out without setting fire
to anything or leaving a trace be
hind. What is still more strange,
neither Mr. Haggard nor any of the
other members of the family who
were m an adjoining room were in
injured in the least, merely receiving a
slight electric shock, and nothing was
damaged about the premises.
