THE PROBABLE THING. Chicago, Ft Scott & Texas a Branch of the Great Line. —-020——— Cleveland, Obi» Herald. The board of directors of the Mis- souri Central ratlroid, elected at St. Louis last Tuesday, will organize in New York next week. ‘‘1 expect,” said Judge Burke, who 1s one of the directors, yesterday, ‘‘that the Mis souri Central will prove to be a very valuable connection of the Bee Line. Kansas City bas become the distribu ting point tor an immense traffic in the southwest, and will be reached d rectly by the Bee Line through the Missouri Central, It will also receive a large volume of business trom this line. The Bee Line will also be benefitted by a large traffic between Chicago and the southwest, securing a haul between Litchfield and St. Louis. Yes, the Missouri Central I think will be completed during the present year. The bridge at Alton it will probably take a year to com- plete, but the work wil! be com- menced and pushed all along the lime. Fert Seott Meoaiter. The above outlines what is to be one of the really great railroad en- terprises of the times and 1s in per- feet harmony with the idea suggested ia yesterday’s Monitor that the great trunk lines could not de kept out of the great southwest, and that the building of the Rock Island into Kansas and the Santa Fe east, would soon be tollowed by other sailroad movements of vital importance to this section. A look at the map ot Missouri and the territory through which the Missouri Central is pro- jected, impresses us that it is not ouly a promising enterprise, but sus, gests the probability that it 1s backed by the Bee line, and that it and the Chicago, Ft. Scott & Texas is near ly allied in interest if not backed by the ame capital. Starting at Alton thé "Missouri Central comes wes through five of the richest counties ot Missouri, and with the exception ot one point does not run within 20 twites-ot any other railroad on either side until it reaches Boonville. From Boonvile the line runs west and may intersect the Chicago, Fori Scott & Texas, at inv one of the Several points from Higginsville south. The value of such a. line eouthwest to the Bee Line, Balti more & Ohio, or Chicago, Burling ton & Quincy, can scarcely be esti- mated. The line of the Chicago, Fort Scott & ‘l'exas from Higgins ville to this city runs through a coun- try of unpsrallelled resources, while trom there southwest through the counties of Neosho, Wilson, Elk, Cowley, Sumner and Harper, the great corn, cattle and wheat region of Kansas is tapped in its very heart. The outline here given seems to us aot only reasonxble but a probabte horoscope of the tuture of these great enterprises. The certainty which attends every step tuken by Missoun Central and Chicago, Fort Scott & Texas managers, also give cclor to the belief herein expressed. That the time will come when through trains will be run from Fort Scott to New York there is no doubt, and it looks to us like the time is fast approaching.

In the house there was one of the sharpest fights ot the session over the bill of Mr. Hinton of Bates to provide tor county superintendents and supervisors ot public schools. At present there is no public school supervision in Missouri. The school commissioners have the power to grant certificates there their duties end. There is no authoritv vested in any one to see that the schools are conducted properly. As Mr. Hinton not inaptly put it, *‘the school system in its present shape 1s lixe an engine provided with coal and water, fired up and turned loose torun itselt.’’ It would naturally be supposed then that Mr. Hinton’s bill, which proposed to place the commua schools of Missouri on a footing with those of other progres- sive states, would be heartily ap- proved. Mr. Hinton most aptly tathered his desirable measure and Speaker Alexander, who left the chairfor the purpose, the Jackson county repre- sentatives and those of the other civilized counties helped him to the best of their ability, but the back- woods elemeut voted them down and and succeeded in amending the bill in such a manner 2s to nullify it. By a desperate fight, however, the ad vocates of the bill succeeded in having at recommitted and that saved it trom deteat. Tr must be said in justice to the opponents ot the bill that they based their opposition on the plea of the inability of their counties to bear the It is hoped, however, that when the bili expenses incurred by the bill. again comes up for considerat‘on these gentlemen will agree to bear a very little extra expense tor the sake of perfecting school system. the public Bob Burdette, the well known humorist, has written, for the Gospel and Temperance Echo, the tollow- ing lecture. lt contains many hum- orous ideas: My dear boy, men have fought, bled, and died, but not tor beer. Arnold Winkleteid did not throw himself upon the Austrian spears because he was ordered to close his saloon at nine o'clock. William Tell did not hide his arrow under his vest to kill the tyrant be cause the edict had gone forth that the free born Switzer should not drink a keg of beer every Sunday. Freedom did not shriek as Kosciosco fell over a whisky barrel. Warren did not die that beer might flow as the brooks murmur, seven days in a week. Even the battle ot Brandy- wine was not fought that whisky might be free. No clause in the Declaration of Independence declar- that a Sunday concert garden, with five brass horns and a hundred kegs of beer, is the inalienable right ot a free people ard the corner stone of good government. Tea — mild, harmless, innocent tea; the much- sneered-at temperance beverage, the teeble drink of effeminate men and good old women. Tea holds a higher place, it fills a brighter, more glori- ous page, and is a grander figure in the history of this United States, than beer. Men hked tea, my boy, but they burled it into the sea in the name of liberty, and they died rather than drink it untal they made it free. Tt seems to be worth fightung for, and the best men in the world fought for it. The history of the United States is incomplete with tea left out. As well might the historian omit Fanuel Hall and Bunker Hill, as tea. But there is no story ot heroism or patri- Otism with rum for its hero The battles of this world, my son, have been tought for grander things than free whisky.

Mr Jesse Pridgeon, aged 64 years, | and one ot the oldest settlers of Springfield township, has tor several vears suffered with a cancer on his lett hand, which, being hurt last spring, and became very paintul. A couple of months ago Dr. Holcemb was summoned and, after examining it carefully, advised an au:putation. ot his arm below the elbow. Mr. Pridgeon protested and declared he would not suffer amputation, pre- ferring to die ; but the cancer became so malignant and so excrutiatingly paintul that the old gentleman con- sented to having the hand and wrist amputated, which was done Tuesday afternoon, the overation being per- formed by Dr. Holcomb, Dr. Robert Trevey assisting. The amputated member was brought to Clinton by the doctor, who has it in a state of preservation, and can be seen in the rear of his drug store. The hand, where the cancer had pertormed its terrible work, presents a ghastly and repulsive appecrance. Dr, Holcomb says he has never yet seen a cancer in a more aggravated form. Mr. Pridgeon 1s doing well and bears his mistortune bravely for an old man. He went through the Mexican war and is entitled tu a pension, which will prove very ac ceptable in his declining years. Hon. M. A. Foran, ot Ohio, member of House of Reprsentative, writes that St ily pains, Struck Blind While Scoffing.

He put his good resolu- tions into effect by joining the Sal vation Army. * There was great re- joicing over his conversion, and the young convert was held up as an example tor others to follow. Up to the rst of February Edwards was an earnest worker in the mnks of the army, but on that date he fell from grace and returned tohis old way of living. All efforts on the part of the Captain and Lieutenants of the army to reclaim the sinner were unavailing. On Sunday evening last Harry visited the Salvation Army Barracks and took a front seat. The army prayed ‘ur him, and the prodigal son reciprocated by scoffire and laughing. One ot the Captans said it was the laugh of the unbeliever, All ot a sudden Edwards was seen to put his hands to his eye:. His trends, who occupied seats rear by, asked him what was the matter. Edwards replied: “Oh, I am blind. Take me home.” Aad sure enough, the man was sightless, and a picture of terror was on his face.
