WEEKLY BAZOO, SE OALIA TUESDAY, APRIL 27. 1880. THE PBESS AND SBDALIA. Pn the eleventh day of next May the city of Sedalia wHl be called upon, iulirectly, to entertain the members of the Missouri press association. It is not a burden which is imposed upon upon them : it i-a privilege wliich was wcured by earnest work. It is de.-ir-able that the advantage? -which will accrue' to the city by this extension of hospitality to the editors of the state hould Ik? fully realized, in order that nothing may te lacking in the man ner in which that reception if given. For this purpoM!, and primarily for the purpose of placing under way those arrangements which it will be necessary to jwrfect before the asso ciation convenes in this city, a meet ing of citizt-ns has been called lor Friday night, to lw held at the city hall, at which it is hoped all of those representative citizens who take a pride in'the good name of Sedalia, and who are interested in her prosperity, will be present and lend their voices and opinions to the general discussion. That there is nothing which in the minds of her leading men stands par amount to the good of the city was well evinced when the partizaus of all parties recently joined so heartily to gether to offer to the members of the republican Mate convention the best Sedalia could present. In this case, there will be no adhesion to a politi cal creed to be overcome by any one. The men who will be here will repre sent the foremost thought of the poll tics of all. If there is anything in journalism: which has leen admired, the creator of that admiration will be present to greet his friends and receive their welcome. But it is not a politcal matter at all with Sedalia. She is an aspiring young commercial conter which seek to be known only to overthrow the malicious prejudices which may possi bly have lecii created by the jealousy of those who were once her rivals, and now seeing her outstrip them in the race seek by detraction to lessen the etorvof her onward stride to the posi tion of undisputed metropolis of central Missouri. With a city it is as nrces sary to advertise in order to be known, as it ls for a merchant. And the great medium through which to reach the public is the press. 2So matter what a dealer may have upon his shelves, the mass of his fellows wil know nothing of the superiority ol his wares if he say nothing of them except to those who may chance to happen in to view them. The public looks for a sign post to show the road which it must follow. Whither it is directed it goes, for time is of too much value to be spent in making in quiries. Sedalia now has a golden opportuni ty of placing her best side before the attention of the people of the state. An hundred criticisms in as many newspapers will be given of the recep tion which the press is tendered, and an hundred descriptive articles will be written upon the Queen City. What the tenor of those criticisms shall be and whether or not those de scriptions will be written with a fav orable or adverse prejudice, rests sole ly with Sedalia herself. The value of such a presentation to the people of the state as we can secure if we work to effect it is so manifest that it needs no pointing out. We earnestly hope that these brief ly outlined points will meet with that thoughtful consideration which their subject matter deserves, and that on Friday night there will be a full rep resentation of our energetic and public spirited residents present at the called meet iiir. IRON "GALL.' In seeking for an instance of sub lime impudence, oue might travel far aud search long and carefully with out meeting a more conspicuous exem plification of that which he sought than was thrust unon the world's attention by the action of the so-called Tam many convention of New York demo crats, held at Syracuse yesterday. The leader. of this faction of soreheads and maicontenLs appointed a commit tee to confer with the regularly con- stitued convention for the purpose of "uniting upon some nomination" for the purpose uf "securing harmony" in the party. Harmony in the party ! This is good. Jieally it. is the height of richness. Who is making the dis cord, we would like fo ask. Who has refused lo accept the views of an overwhelming majority ot their own party and petulantly asumed to dic tate the acceptation of their own ? It is the spectacle of a single jury man who seeks to make his eleven "obstinate" companions agree with him. As well might the Blaine men in the late convention in this city have called upon the third termers to t confer with them and make some nom-1 ination which could secure "harmony." These fellows are no mofe demo crats. They have as little claim to a voice in party councils as the most stalwart of "stalwarts." They should meet no more recognition and should receive that ostracism which their conduct has deservedly forced upon them. THE CHEVAIiIEB BRAC. The Carter of an Amuioi Bscal Graphically Described.

On the occasion of his last arrest the Chevalier Brae merely said to the inouchnvl whose hand had dropped heavily upon his shoulder: "Mon sieur, you are an officer, it is well.

' For many years Chevalier Brae . . . ' (his real name being Jean Frencon Mobette) was notorious in raiiN r :.. T....i... .,ia. ;,. laniuus ill iuuiuii, mm nv"" Boulogne, fcach of these three cities claimed the distinction, while he- was its resident, of having the handsomest. most audacious .scoundrel of all 1 ranee to look alter. "Good !" said the Prefect of Toulon. O.ie rascal like Brae is worth his weight in old Louis d'ors, to make mv officials earn tneir aany xeii francs a day." The Prefect of Boulogne being in formed that Chevalier Brae had left Paris, rubbing his hands, exclaimed : "He mav lie coming here. Ah : what a blesiug ! He will give new life to my commisaires." "We will have a little time tor rest," said Simon, the Prefect of Paris, when he knew the chevalier was beyond the barriers of the city. Chevalier Brae was suspected of every crime in the calendar save that of murder. A forger, a confidence operator, a pickpocket, the most expert in France, a thief and a man without one redeeming virtue, yet his exterior, his manner, dre.s, easy grace, affable smile, gave him the look of honor, position, candor. It was his boast that in one day he had robbed the bak of France on a forced check of fiftv thousand francs, picked the pocket of a chiffonier, of the wretch's last sou, and bv meaus of a counterfeit ticket, taken from the Monte De Piete,.or Pawners bank a set of jewelry valued at thirty-two thousand francs, which latter he, disguised as a peddler, sold to Mile. Cherie, an actress of the Vaudeville, for one-fourth their value. All thi in one dav. and that night, at the' opera, in the foger, he eased the Marquis St. Canier of his watch, and a diamond of great value. "Merely a dayV work, lo keep my self from becoming rusty. When the busy season comes I shall he quite ready Ur active service." He wa often arrested, but had undergone conviction but twice. Once he was sent to the penai colonies, once condemned to the galleys, but irom both of those enforced .slate duties he had, by some means, escaped within a few months. During the latter days of the Em pire he was at the height of his career. "It is much easier to rule a nation than to pilfer its pockets," said the chevalier. "I had rather be Chevalier Brae than l'Empereur. He loses his sleep watching the people, but, parblm ! the people lose theirs watch ing me." In height and general appearance he had something the resemblance of the Statesman Persigny. One day, sauntering along the boulevard Hausman, he saw in front of the door of Cassiere, the jeweler, a coupe which he at ouce recoguized as that of Minister Persigny. Glancing into the shop he saw the statesman examining a diamond necklace. Ah. M. le Minister is about to purchase. Perhaps I may assist him in naironiziiiir me koou v-M&siere. e shall see' . a i . M. Persigny, having completed hi business, entered his coupe, and was driven off without, however, taking the diamonds with him. This was Chevalier Brae's opportunity. "Better to lose all your money than one good opportunity, for opportuuity, rightly used, contains more wealth than the bank." Three hours after the Minister had I driven off another coupe drove up to the shop of da-giere in the boule-j vard Hausman, and out of it sprang, Chevalier Brae, marvelously made up, a perfect alter ego ot Persigny. The dres, the peculiar collar, the drop of the eyes, the scarf, the short abrupt step, the size, manner all admirable. Cassiere recognized him at once as M. Je Minister Due de Persigny, bowed low and obsequiously, and ventured to smile as he said : "Your grace, you again honor me by returning. You have so soon decided on taking the bracelet as it is, without the alterations your grace suggested ?" "Very correct, M. Cassiere. And I will take them with me. Madame will be delighted'! "Does your grace desire to add anything else to your order ? The bracelet at forty thousand francs is a trifle, your grace. Here is one. Shall I bear it to your carriage ? No r "No, no. M. Cassiere," said Cheva lier Brae, in Persienys voice, as easily as if it were his own. "You may add that solitaire ring with the brooch which lies beside it that will make how much ?" "Altogether, your grace, sixty thousand francs." (Joolly the Chevalier took out his small check-book. "A pen, M. Cassiere. Thanks." In a moment the Chevalier had drawn up a check for the full amount, signed it "Peraigny." It was on the private bankers. M. Drouin.fe rt clc. With his treasure the chevalier entered the coupe, leaving Cassiere in an estacy of delight at having so liberal a customer as M. le Due de Persigny, and such prompt payment. That night there was no jeweler so nearly a lunatic or so terribly en raged in all Paris. "M. Drouin, fils ei cie" had repudiated the check, sent for a detective and arrested Cassiere at the counter for an attempt to pass forged paper, and he was "kl once conveyed to the prefect to explaiu, himself. t While the abused M. Cassiere was in the custody of the police and the prefect was awaiting an answer from the Minuter lYr.-icrnv an to the truth of the jiv.-lr'-t jtry, -a iiiutu'luinl. there " 1 our de-ire ?" said the superini en- iienr.
