It was the first time they had ever mot—Pietro Maguire and Claudius Murphy—and for some moments they stood silently sizing each other up, if we may be permitted the ex- ‘pression. Maguire was a professional million- aire of some 60 summers. He wore expensive custom-made clothes and a haughty mien, which was chronic with him. Murphy was a youth of @pirituelle appearance and was taste- fully though plainly caparisoned. The only article of jewelry he wore was the watch that came with his auit. Beside them stood a young girl of «sre beauty. We would be glad to Geacribe her, but as the intelligent ceader will readily see, we can scarce- ty be expected to do so in a publi- cation which is sold at a popular price, and is returnable. For three months Claudius Murphy had loved Portia Maguire with a passion such as only an heiress can inspire. He had visited her seven evenings each week, but as he in- variably left at 12:30, and as old man Maguire never returned home until Za.m., he had not until now met her father. But at last they stood face to face, for the youth had called on purpose to talk business with the millionaire. “And so you love my daughter?” aaid old Mr. M Well, that’s replied the impetuous lover, easy grace. Letter from a Dead Man. A few days since the Springfield Daily Republican published an article in which it was claimed that George Graham, who was some months since while in the clutches of his enemi and on his way to be hanged. The facts as ventilated were sent out by the Associated Press, but were look- ed upon in rather a light manner. From best information we judge the facts as presented by the Republican been cause for much merriment among the press of the state. The Democrat of Springfield keeps up the fun by publishing the following letter, purported to have been writ- fen by Graham—since death: Cartuace, Mo., July 12. 1s— Dear Pere:—I arrived in this city a few monthsago.

E. Granam. for While at Appleton City a few days ago, a Democrat representative made some inquiry relative to the cost of establishing a cheese factory, two of which are now located in St. Clair county—one at Appleton and the other near Taborville. It was learn- ed that all necessary appliances could be procured for about $500, and a suitable building erected for a like amount, or a total of $1,000. Farm ers find ready sale at the factories for their milk, and during the sum- mer season one or two patrons have received as high as $100 per month for the product from their cows. Industries of this kind are almost the life of large communities in Western New York. Ohio and Tlli- nois, and there is no on why excellent cheese cannot be x Missouri.

Osceola, Mo., July 13.—Informa- tion was received here this morning of the suicide of James S$. Allen, a well known citizen of this county, who lives on a farm near Chalk Level, about 12 miles distance. His manner of ending his life was novel in the extreme, at the same time it effectively accomplished the purpose. Tuesday he climbed in a tree, and fitting his neck in the forks of two limbs, he swung free and soon strangled to death. Mr. Allen was about 75 years of age. His mind had been somewhat {de iged for a month or two, but his friends never contemplated that he would take his own life. What is the shortest record was sentence on pronounced not long The conviet- go by an English justice. ed prisoner had married a second husband while her first pwas living undivoreed, but the cireumstances were such that the judge said that he could not conscientiously sentence her to more than five minutes’ im prisonment, and that was$ the sen- tence.
