Bat when he wined away the spray that lashed his faee there was the light, and one so strange and unfamil- far that he steod there for 6 v-ral see- onds, buffeted by the waves, yet prer- ing at the s'range visitor. ‘Shen swinging around and dropring from the shrouds to the quarter dvek, he put up his big hands to form a trumpet and reared: ‘Ready abou ?"’ A noment later the ship was trem- bling in the wind, the blocks hammer- \ing the yards viciously, the cordace ' groanin®, the sails snapping like fire- arng, while the lunging and pitching covered the decks wih a gleaming gellen sp ay. The roar and confu- sion bio ight the skipper on deck, and in explanation of his order the mate pointed at the strange light that was now asiern. The men, too, were look- ing at it. having wale every thing snug, and «f all the crew not one had ever seen any thins like it before. When first seen it looked like a lu- minous buoy floating upon the surface, but it had gradually Jeng hened cut, grown more attenuated, as it were, until now it seemed taller than the mainmast of the ship, of a yellowish tint—n not striking object against the j-t-blaek sky. Some of the men looked at the strang: form with grave apprehene sion. To them it boded no good, per- haps harm; others were not xo easily disturbed, but every one on board was at least astonished at the carious ap- parition that every moment ecemed to grow larger and taller. ‘Keep her away a point,"’ said the euptain to the helmsmen, and the ves- sel fell away and slightly increased her speed. *‘Whatever it ia,” he con- tinued, ‘it’s coming afterua, Itlooks to me like a waterspont, but I never Saw one that was on Gre, and that ene is if nny thing ever was."" The curious obj-ct was rap'dly gain- ing on them, ani now presented an ap- palling appcearance—a huge column of xhastly light, hundreds of fcet high, of a dark, golden, yellowish hue— sanding out ia strange eontrast against the sky, or the intenss dark- ness of the night. It came on se quickly. evidently before the breeze, that the vessel was hauled on the wind, just in time, perhaps, for the strange column went hissing and roaring by not a thensand yards astern, its base where it joined the water surrounded by a seeming ma:s of fir, whilo the upper portio: bent gracefully, and was lost in the clouda, In ashort time it had entirely disap- peared from view. The evlumn was, as the skipper has suspecte!, a water- j spout; a midnight visitor, coursing : over the ocean like some weird phan- :tom. Sinee then several have been seen at one time, veritabie pillars juf fire, moving rapidly over ithe — surface. It finally = ace ‘curred to x» scientist to examine {the water in which these fiery columns ' were seen, and he found it completely filed with the forms of two minute ‘plants, known to scie+ce as pyrocistis psendonoctilues and — P-pisiformis, whose ruciens, the little spot seen in the center, was vividly luminous, H-re, then, was the secret of the colunin of fire—a waterspout hal been formed and enormous masses of the li tle ligat-rivers berne aloft, g ving the entire spout a fiery apvexra: ce. These spouts differ in color, d-pend ng on the intensity of the light of the various animals; some are a dull yele low; others, on meonlight nigh s, quite pale, while others again, on the tx reme dark nights whes the s:a is high, ; resent a truly frightful appear- auee, resembling a pillar of fir, the base representing a caldron of seeth- ing flame. —Go dia Diys. 2 came | The hail came from th: foretop of a | Z z _ the republican leaders.

I read Dr. W. A.

That, indeed, may uot be practicable wh any party. The signal illus- t at on of its difficulty, at least, is fou i. the earnest endeavor of the couscie ce whigs in Massachusetts forty ycurs ugo to persuade the whig party to wiopt the anti slavery issue. Iu 1847 they proposed a resolutiou in the state convention that Massachusetts would not sup- port any candidate for the Presiden- cy who was not a well-known and active anti-slavery man. The de- | bate was very hot. Mr. Webster opposed the resolution. It was de- feated, and the conscience whigs re- nounced the party and organized the free-soil party, and in 1853 the whigs disappeared. Since 1884 the republican party seems to have lost the power of re- cuperation. It has certainly done very little to show that it is the par- ty of progress reform. Its chief ‘canvass during this year was in Ohio. There it was successfu!, af- ter a campaign conducted upon hos- tility to the southern states. But Mr. Foraker was re-elected not be- | cause of such hostility, but because | of the general hovesty of his admin- istion contrasted with democratic as- cendencyin thestate. Theargument, however, that republican national as- cendency would necessarily be more honest than democratic ascendency is annulled by the whisky ring—a scandal of a kind from which the democratic administration has been wholly free—and by the fact that the candidate under whom the re- publican party was defeated, and who has a stronger support in the party than any other leader, is the only leader who is believed by many of his own party to have trafficked in his office, and was for that reason defeated Nothing has occurred to show that he would not be as ac- ceptable a candidate in ‘88 as he was in ’84; and so far as the enthu- siastic preference of the party is concerned he is still the favorite candidate. The significance of this fact, as indicating the condition of the party, escapes the attention of many republicans. Last spring Mr. Sherman made a speech at Nashville which seemed to show that the progressive movement of the party, if such an impulse there was, would find in him a rep- resentative. This was so evident that apparently he was himself alarmed as if he had ventured quite beyond the general sympathy of the party. Soon after, at Springfield, in Illinois, he made another speech, in which he withdrew all the lights of hope that he had displayed at Nashville and blew them out. He has now made a third speech, in the senate, which offers to the country, as Mr. Sherman’s view of the true republican policy, repeal of the in- ternal taxes except whisky tax, pro- a little too late, and as a consequence, after a few weeks, are laid here, or embalmed and sent back home to sorrowing relatives and friends. He hit the nail on the head when he said, “it is the paradise for real estate agents”—they are too numerous to mention. There is but one redeem- bg point. and that is the climate. I don’t think Dr. D. has gone to house- keeping yet, for when he does he will change his mind. He will have to buy a house for the privilege of living in it. Rent is bigh—a four room house will rent for $40 per month and paid in advance. Coal is way up—some where—and can't get it at all. Butter is $1.10 per roll, eggs, 50 cents a dozen; lard 124 cents per pound; beef, 20 cents; chickens, $8 dozen; Christmas turkey 30 cents per pound, and other things in proportion. It may be that Los- Angelos has stone, iron and brick blocks in that city, but San Diego, is with few exceptions, a real old timber box—all you would have to de would be to seta match toit. Work is slack on account of mate- rial being scarce. There is not enough of anything in this place, is the reason stuff is so high. One little :ailroad and the boats cannot supply the wants. Other railroads are expected soon to come.—Clinton Democrat. A Sound Legal Op nion. E. Bainbridge Muneav Exp. : Co. Atty. Clay Co. Kv. save: ‘Haye used Electric bitters with most happy results.

The Sedalia Shooting Scrape. The Demoerat of yesterday gave 8 fall account of the shooting affray at Sedalia in which two of Sedalia’s police force, Gossage brothers, were shot. “The offender was arrested and committed to jail, having been taken before Justice Halstead, giving his name as Frank Dudley. A slip of paper being found on his person, contained the following inscription: “My name is Chas. F. Blessing, Salem, Il.” Hundreds of people visited that jail Tuesday, among the number Deputy United States Marshal Willis. The latter says that a prisoner an- swering Blessing’s description broke jail at Osceola, Mo., last August, and is wanted by Uncle Sam for robbing a small post-office in St. Clair county. The sheriff of St. Clair has been tele- graphed of the arrest. The condi- tion of Officer James Gossage is considered very critical by his phy- sicians. The other wounded man is out of danger.

The regular Kansas City, St. | Louis express train No. 4. left Kan- sas City at the regular hour, S:20 p. im. It .as in charge of W. O. Beck- ley, the regular conductor. When the train stopped at Mis- 'souri City on the platform was a | band of men armed with shot guns. The conductor was informed that they were under ccmmand of an official of the county, who had re- | ceived word that an attempt would | be made to rob the Si. Louis express |at a lonely spot, a little less than two wiles east of Missouri City. One of the officers got in the cab of the engine with the engineer, and the others distributed themselves throughout the train. Cooley's Lake, a fishing resort, and one of the lone- liest points on the road in winter time, was the place where the attack was to be made. Noue of the passengers of the train were notified of the danger. At 9:30 as the point of attack was near- ed, ared light was seen gleaming ahead. As the train slowed up the engineer saw three masked menarmed wich rifles, standing on the track. “Get off there,” said the leader of the three men to the engineer. Morsey climbed down out of the cab. Just as he reached the ground the officer in the cab pointed his shot gun out of the window and fired. Whether he hit the leader of the band of robbers or not he could not afterward tel], but both he and the engineer were of the opinion that he had. As soon as the shot was fired he and Morsey dropped down out of sight. The shot from the cab was answered with shots from the guns of the three robbers, which rattled about the engine, but did no harm. The three men retired in a demoral- ized state. As they moved back, a part of the posse came up from the woods, where they had been in concealment for some time, and opened fire on them. These men had been sent out from Missouri City in advance of the train and had concealed themselves, to be in readiness whenever they should be needed.2 About twenty shots were exchang- ed, the men on the train joining in the pursuit. The posse continued in pursuit of the band, and when the train reached Moberly there was a report that two of them had been eaptured by the officers, and that in the struggle one of them had been killed. The robbers are known tobe farm- ers living in the nighborhood of Missouri City. One of them is said to have been a member of the James gang at one time. i A Magnetic Young Woman.
