She fell on her knees ny her youngest brother, kiss ed and caressed him and called him ty endearing names. She was loud in the reproaches of her older broth ers for leading him astray, and met them with dry eyes and a cold shake of the hand. ' Even the hardened Golc and Rob Younger seem to be wore interested in the fat of their brother than concerned about their wn. Every person that wears stiiped clothes is not in the penitentiary. Since Joyce, Avery, and other high- toned sports took to striped suits they Lave become fashionable and ara now all the rage. Trouble In the South. The eyes of the whole nation are now directed toward Florida, Louis iana and South Carolina, the dount ful States in this election, for their voice will decide our destiny for weal or woe. . . It will take all of them to elect Hayes, any one of them will elect Tilden; and by the latest returns we see that without doubt Florida has gone Democratic by a handsome ma jority, amd the other two States will swing into the same line if left un- trameled; and we don't contemplate war or any serious, trouble at all. Without a doubt they would swin- rtlo' iia rmt of them if they had ghost of a chance, but they have not. It is true, troops are sent down there, but a good many of the IT. S soldiers are Democrats, and will see fair play. Leading men of both parties have gone down to "see the count," and without a doubt it will be given to the right man. They will claim it as long as they can, but in the end truth will conquer. This election has struck a heavv blow at the party in power, and they unused to defeat are loth to give up, and like a drowning man grasping at a straw, will feed their morbid hopes on mere "wind," till finally they will be frightened by the glorious bril liancy of the Democratic victory, and will crawl off "to die;" no, but to say with a ghastly grin, "the pres ident don't amount to much, we have a majority, iu congress." By abuse of authority they lost the pow- er ot tne lanu ana 11 xney are hoi careful, by abuse of power they will be entirely annihilated, for all men of honor and truth loving their coun try will forsake the party, and it will be known no more forever, except as a thing of the past; and the only re minder that will be left as a memento of this "noble" institution will be a black scowling page on the annals of American history.

A Western bound passenger train on the Hannibal & St. Joe railroad met with a serious accident near Ilrookfield last Wednesday night. Three coaches and a sleeping car jumpedthe track and went down an embankment twenty ol thirty feet. Twenty persons are reported wound ed, but no one killed. The cars were much damaged. Tilden's majority in this State is over 52,000. Hurrah for Missouri. This Looks like she was "the Robber State." AVERY PARDONED. Wi-shing ton, Nov-13. The presi dent to-day signed a pardon for W. T. A'rery now confined in the peni tentiary at Jefferson City, ATo, for complicity in whisky frauds.-GIobe-Democrat. How is this for high. All the whisky thieves would have been pardoned months ago only Grant feared the effect on the election. If the devil was in the chains and was a republican as without doubt be is Grarjt would pardon him and let hjm out too without he feared he (the devil) would clean the White House out as he will sooner or later. Phelps majority iu this State is 41,404. ' ' Nodaway county elects entire Dem ocratic ticket except sheriff. i Chariton county went Democratic by about 1,500. Greene county, Mo., was carried by the Republicans by some 200 ma jority. Tilden's majority county is 1,365. in Howard fu:ndish work Springfield, 111., Nor. 8. A most dastardly attempt was made last nigbt to ?teal the bene of President Lincoln from the cemetery vault here. The plot was suspected some time since, and Elmer Waahburne, U. S. detective Firrill aid assistants watched tne vault last night. The scoundrels broke in the outer and inner doors of the vault; opened the several cases ot sarcophagus, and were about to mak off with the re . . mams wnen tne detectives sprang out. The accidental discharge of a pistol alarmed tho robbers, and they fitd precipitously, escaping in the darkness. A slight clue to their idectity remains, and their capture is probable. N. Y. Sun.

Yea, sir, was the prompt reply. Isn't that a rather low calhug? demanded the lavryer. I don't know but what it is, sir, replied the minstrel, but it is so much better than my father's that I am rather proud of it. What was your father's calling? lie was a lawyer, replied ("lark in a toue of regret that put the au dience in a roar. The lawyer let him alone.

Yes it will and so will the next Centennial, but the editor of that paper will be in a, place where it will bo more trouble to the console himself than ho found it in the St. Louis jail even.

The city polled 1,657 votes, against 1,272 in the last presidential election. In view of an actual, though small, do crease in population, the result is a matter of surprise, as tho difference is 385. An increased vote is also appar ent at the precincts. Whether or not there was illegal voting we have no means of knowing, and we can not without proof think with those who suppose there was. It will be soen that this county gives a Democratic majority, on the vote as follows: Tilden 2,508 Haves 2,058 Afajority 450 Total vote of St. Charles county is 4,556. Phelps' majority is 246 and Brock meyer's 338. St. Charles county by about the same figures goes for tho whole State ticket. St. Charles news.
