declamation and beauty of expression,."Col. Donan'g lectures were Indeed grand.There Is an absolute mystery connectedwith the Colonel. While be Is an anti-ladie- s'

man, and declaims forcibly againstlitem, there seems to be a magnetic cur-rent around him, and when one comeswithin the radius of its Influence, he is at-

tracted towards him. In truth, .he is aperplexing puzzle. We would advise allwho have never heard him, it tlie oppor-tunity is offered, to do so, for you will un-- ,doubtedly get a half-dolla- r's worth.

from too Moberly (Mo.) EnterprUe, July If.Max Adeler ay of the Lexington Cau-

casian man : Nothing gives as more respectfor a man than to sea him use temperatelanguage In discussing persons whom hedoes not like. Tbis Is the reason why wehave a profound regard for the editor ofthe Lexington (Mo.) Caucasian. lie is aman who restrains himself when he feelsmad. He was bitterly opposed to tlie re-

cent congressional convention in St. Lonis,and he said so ; but instead of denouncing itwith violent language, instead of hurling,foul epithets at it, instead of abusing themembers and blackguarding them, aridcalling them vile names, and indulging invile indecency and Vulgarity, ho chose A

better and more Christian course, andmerely referred kindly but decidedly totlie convention as "an aimless and fruit-less catawntnpus of nincompoopic " gab-Riiir- t8

and rapscallions." And then woaupuoslic haul I us heat I shaved ami wentto bed. When such amiable gentlemenas this control tbe press and help to formpublic opinion, it would be ridiculous notto expect the rapid growth of America.

JEFFERSON DAVIS TO THE FRONT.

The survivors of tho First Mississippi liifles propose to send Col. Jef-ferson Davis, as their representativein the national convention of Mex

ican war veterans, to be held inWashington, next January. Thisgeutleman is somewhat generallyknown, in Lafayette aud othor counties, as the President of the lastAmerican Uepublic head of that patriot-her- o host, w Inch made the lastgrand struggle for "free government," the new world shall ever see.If Freedom tthrieked when Kosciuskofell (and we have high authorityfor averring that she did) she oughtto have just set back on her bustleand liow led ; torn the last bair out ofher sandy wig : rent her streakedduds into hospital bandages for oldsores on the body-politic- ; gnashedher false teeth ; and wound-u- p byflopping-over- , giving up her mulattoghost, leaviug 15 scouts to a Beecher- -

ian e or a nigger orphanaeyltim, aud being buried in a panper's grave, at the expense of thedear people ; when Jeff. Davis kerflununixed, and was crucified on hisown "Starry Cross !" Let him cometo the front! Good for the Missip- -

pissi ivifles ! Hurrah for their Col-

onel and tbe principles he represents!

JUSTICE.

The Mexican war "vets," at theirmeeting in liicbmond, on the 1-- ofJuly, called for a convention of tbiscongressional district, at some convenient time and place, to be selected by the various county committees. Col. A. W. Doniphan, W.M. Jacobs and C. B. Kavanaughwere appointed a committee of sevento arrange"it, and they desire to hearimmediately from their brethren inall the ether counties. This movement is daily growing in strengthall over the wide dis-Uni- ; and itshould succeed. We pension thenigger-freein- hirelings of Abraham-us Africanus, for their services ininaugurating hell and carpet-bag- -

gery, baboon-supremac- tumblebugdespotism and uuiversal thievery, inour Republic; Why do we, whyshould we, deny all recognition ofthe claims of thoso gallant men,whose dauntless heroism, whisky,sweat and blood, plantod the streakybanner of yankccdoodlo on the hallsof the Montezuma?, and gave us athird of all our mighty western possossions ? If Sheridan's barn-burne-

and Sherman's vandal bummersare entitled to pecuniary remembrance at tho hands of our ge-hel- l-

orious government, far, far moreare the heroes, who followed thestandards of Price and Doniphan,Shields, Taylor and Worth, amid thehot sands and stickory prickly-pear- s

of Mexico who swept tbe battlements of Palo Alto and Cherubusno;stormed the heights of Cerro Gordoand Saltillo; and, under Jotf. J:tvin,saved the day at Buona' Vista.

BEDLAM.

Just think of it. In tbe singleyear of 1872, no less than 179 divor-ces were granted to the roosterlesswives of knotty-buniouo- d NewHampshire; and sneaking little Connecticut severed the loose ties thatbound 4ti4 hen-peck- imbeciles toas many free-ioveris- termagants.The divorce record of the other ismbeds in '

six-acre- New England,doubtless ran tbe disgraceful burlesquing of marital affairs to a fullthousand. Congress ought to passa law divorcing the whole tribe andreversing the sexes, for which itmay be able to find full power in thepatched constitution.

An Iowa Kditor ran away with a farm-

er's tickle wife, and was pursued to theend of the journey by the bereaved hus-band. The guilty ones were overtakenseveral hundred miles out on tlie Westernplains. They conferred a moment, whilethe exasperated husband danoed up tothem, turning over the proposition as towhat would be the upshot of it. Theeditor, be it said to bis credit, purposedto die game, so be shoved Uie woman be-

tween himself and her late husband. Butwhen the latter waltzed up preity close,he didn't commence disbehaviuir, put-

ting on airs, and blowing his own nose andanother man's brains out. Not any. lieilinplyrsaid: "Dura your cussed pictur,step my paper."

Peter Donan, the gonial editor of theLexington (Mo.) Caucasian, In desciibuito his readers what be saw and heard atthe late editorial convention, gets off' tliefollowing felicitous "quidmiuc," at ourexpense. Mr. Donan is an ardent south-erner, and is not yet fully willing to let

es be lie was a colonelin the service of the late Southern Con-federacy; and though a minister of theCampbeltite Church, he is notnt all choicein the language he utesin his columns.Mr. Donan was our bed-fello- w for onenight, under tbe hospitable roof of Mr.MeO,uie of Louisiana and we became verymuch attached to him. The only thing weregretted in him was his want of love forand sympathy with tlie Union and gov-or- n

incut of the United States, and hispersistent attachment to ttie doctrines ofthe "Lost Cause." His inclinations inthat direction are truly marvelous. Woare at a loss to know how if is possible forsuch a good nature as he is possessed otto pursue the course he does in the Cau-casian, lu private lile he is a pattern ofsobriety, true etiquette and chaste deport-ment; but iu his paper he is unendurableaud his language is horribly nrlVusive.As. his brilliant oratory and his ardentdevotion to his convictions and principlesadapt him to a leader, we would advisehim to make a tour through Europe (orhis poiiticnL health. In our opinion hewill never make a Union man and iu goodfaith support, the stars and stripes until hegoes abroad and converses with the de-

feated followers of Kossuth, Maziui,Louis Blanc, Walewski, Ac. We are in-

deed very anxious that Col. Drinan shouldonce more become reconcih-- to this coun-try and employ his tine powers in promo-ting the perpetuity and grandeur of theUniied American Republic.

The Colonel has our sympathy furhaving been compelled to sl.-e- with aradical editors We hopeoiir "nearness"to him ou the occasion ailu.l-;- to, hasnot contaminated him so as to cause afalling otTin the number of his subscribers.The Colonel has certainly- - a greatdanger.

From Ihe Westminster Monthly, eulton, Mo.DON AN '8 WOMAN.

It was announced in our last issue thatCol. Donan, of ihe Lexington Caucasian,would deliver two lectures here upon thesubjects, "Woman" and "Mu." Ac-cordingly on Friday evening, a largeand intelligent audience assembled at tneChapel, to hettr "what, an exemplarybacUelor knew about woman."

The Colonel appeared alwjut eiirhto ciock, was introduced to tlie audioi.cand began his lecture in a mot! a'tractiveand entertaining manner, by taking a triparound the world, stopping twentyminutes for refreshments at Jerusalem, 'and soon arriving at St. Louis, the start-ing point, all to prove that men areunder a universal ci .

Having the curiosity oi his auditorswrought to the highe.--t pilch, he was nowprepared to hold up to them the faults anddeformities of women, and to show thatthe true woman is the noblest of al! God'screatures. He dwelt at some length ipnfashion's follies, pointing out some of ihedireful evils, and then closed with a plainaud earnest talk to the girls, sidni. mill-ing them that they talked too much.

On Saturday evening he unbosomedhimself upon "Babies and Men." Heprepared his audience for what was coin-ing by saying that every mother in thehouse would vote him a pagan and alunatic. He seems to have a natural an-tipathy tor the little iuuocenis and appar-ently Is worse than a Herod. Doub.less,the young ladies who, the evening before,hail heard him upon womau wouihii inUie bad, woman cankered and worm-eate- n,

woman as a dragon-ll- o wcr and aimtlower, and the true woman were dis-

appointed that he did not elaborate moreextensively upuu the faults aud foibles ofmen.

Sunday afternoon be gave a free lectureIn the Christian church, which he termedortbodjox enough for Protestant or Catho-lic. Iu his remarks upon the progress ofreligion, he said the Methodists were theadvance guard,, the Presbyterians theheavy-arm- ed uiiautry, the Baptists andCampbellite-Christia- ns the marine host,and the Hard-she- ll Baptists the iron-ola- dgun-boat- s.

From the rUiU.ltlphia (Pa ) Age.JThe editors and publishers of Missouri

recently met In convention, aud passed aferies of resolutions of a business charac-ter. The speeches delivered in relationto matters embraced in the resolutionswere of a practical character, and showedthat the men connected with the news-pajie- rs

of Missouri are in earnest, meanwhat they say, and will act upon thenew platform as a unit. If they do,there will be a fluttering among the smallmen of Missouri, who are raised to iui- -:

poitauce by the notice aud attention ofthe press.

IFrom the Mexico (Mo.) Messenger, July 3. 1

'Dead-headin- g' ' is practiced to a great-er extent on the press than it is on rail-roid- s.

Everybody "dead-bead- s" on thepress. Some Inirrow their neighbor's pa-per; and read it regularly every week,with as much importance as though theyhad a receipt for a year's subscription iutheir pocket; others take and read the pa-p-r-

months or a year and then cheatthe publisher out of his pay, which is themeanest kind of dead-headin- g. Some menwill go into a store or shop, pick up a pa-per regularly, and read it, to save threeor four cents a week, when, if he was aregular subscriber, himself and whole fam-ily might have tbe benefit of it. n' "

From the Memphis (Tenu.) Appeal.Whenever a gentleman wants anything

published, whether it interests the publicor only an individual, be is willing andwill propose to pay. Somebody mut payfor ic, and hereafter it will not be theprinter. The fact that the proposed pub-lii'.ili- oti

would interest tbe public has noth-ing to do..'ith ttie matter in issue. News-pipe- rs

are private, not public property.I'hey are piitilislie.l to make money tortheir owners, and if anybody would use(hem they must pay the cost. Never didw e go to a merchant and use his goods forany public purpose without paying, audit we and hundreds of others the publicemploy a lawy r about a street or otherhighway, we pay the lawyer. Tbe dodgeis very tirei-ome- ; it. is very old, and wehope to hear ol it no more forever. Ifyou want souie ventilated, wheth-er it interest yourself alone or thousands.you and your thousands must not expectui to pay the cost.

NO MOKE DEAD BEATS. '

In common with the newspaper pressall over ihe country (oun-el- f included) tbeDakota City Mail sys: Pursuant to theaccepted basis of reform now permeatingall classes of men, we have determined tomake the following the basis of our opera-tions: The farmers, mtchanios, mer-chjt- its

and even railroads are crying re- -form. Congress htis passed laws sbuttiii" '

off newspaper exebanges, aud railroadshave passed resolutions stopping ihe pa-- g

system. For all this, we say, thanks ,gentlemen. We can well see who willeoine out first best in tbe fight; so heregoes for reform. We pay for our whistle;the dead-beati- public must pay fortheirs. Hereafter we must charge lor allchurch, charity, festival, celebration,ball, excursion, convention, personal, orany other local notice, at the usual tweu-t- y

cents per line rates. 1 a politicianwants an editorial notice, or a private en-terprise a "puff, ' they will be requiredto pay twenty-liv- e cents per line few each. :

and every line. If conventions want theirminutes published, they can afford to paylocal rates; as onr type, ink, paper, andlabor cost cash, and our talent is worthy ,

of Its hire. If candidates want to be.brought before the public for office, they '

can pay for it. Railroads that want tlieuse of our columns, must pay the usual'rates, to he paid yearly. No moredead-headi- on us, wbeu we usetheir roads only once In a year; and some-times not all. All societies and orderathat want resolutions and notices publish- - 'ed, will be charged at regular rates. Ma-r-riage notices must be paid tor lit advance. ,
