that there is two other school houses
already bnilt at a cost of over $20,000
for both, and as the town has 5,000
inhabitants those two school houses
don't suffice, they have to rent yet.
The Missouri Pacific runs through the
town, and another R. R. Northward be
ing constructed. As to churches there
is no scarcity, four were built this sea
son at an aggregate cost of 818,000,
and there is four or five others, there
being nine denominations in town with
good congregations able clergy, fine
music, vocal and instrumental.
The City fathers are very strict, the

at Mtlz, the latter was tryisg a saddle,

gave birih to a "boy. This son, com
monly called 'en fanl miracle, bom
under such melancholy circunifctances,
was fated, in his youth-, to a checkered
career. At thil birth he received the
title of Duke of Bordeaux, as an ack
nowiedgw.ent.of that city's devotion to
the fortunes of his .house, but before he
had attained his tenth year the troubles
of his family leeommeneed; he found
himself an exile, and dropped the more
ambitious title, assumed that of Count
de Chambord, taking his title from a
mansion, whose history, as checkered
as that of his own race, had once belon
ged to hi3 ancestors, and in 1S21 had
been bought, and presented to him by
his adherents
From that time until recently tho
Count ae Chambord has bean an exile.
He has never resigned his claim to the
throne, and was supported by a small
sroup of men notably the famous
Berryer, the most prominent of his de
voted adherents of conspicuous abili
tv but beyond a few attemps to slir in
to activity the sentiments in favor of the
liourbons winch have, always more or
less existed in Brittany and La Vendee
the Legitimists party has tcarcely made
itself felt. In 1818 there seemed a
chance, but Louis Napoleon successful
ly parried it. Now some men think
there is another. We are not of that
opinion. Even supposing that the fu
sion so much talked of lately between
the Bourbon and Orleans' families could
be brought about, we do not believe
that the sovereignty of France would
rest five years in such hands as those of
the Count de Chambord. rrance is
country which can henceforward be gov
erned only by men of strong personal
qualities. Grace, affability and person
al accomplishments are not the articles
most in demand for her throne.
It is a thousand pities that this amia
ble person should have been afflicted
with a blind belief in his regal destinies
But for this he would probably have
been tne happiest 01 men. Ibis age
has, as Mascauley once observed, been
full of warning to the ambitious and
consolation to the drear. But Moses
and the prophets were not enough for
the ricu man brethren, and r rench his
tory since 1789 is not, it appears, a cure
for the Count de Chamboi d's ambition,
if the reports now universally current
can be relied upon. The best friends
of tbe Count de Chambord are. those
who will succeed in convincing him that
he hasn't a chance of a crown.

from Cairo lo Columbus on a steamer,
Clark asked Pinkerten to go out on the

No sooner, had, they reached the guard
than dark, though heavily ironed,
snatched Piukcrton's revolver from his
belt, cocked it, and presented it at Pin
keitoifs head, saying, 'I have you now.'
Pinkeiton called to Cornel, whoi.spring

as it was discharged,' the ball grazing
Pinkerton s temple. A desperate strug

board, passing under the wheel, and
sunk. It is supposed the wheel struck
him. At all events he never rose again.
Barton bad made a full confession
Clark, knowing this, attempted to kill
Pinkerton for revenge. Barton whs for
