My Mother, Oh My Mother. (Written by Samuel Stephens, of Johnstown.) Long years ago I left my home, I then became a rover, Since then no parent smiles are known, My mother, Oh my mother. A Sketch of Missouri’s First Lady. The history of the Executive Mansion, its brilliant assemblies, its social triumphs, the long line of dis- tinguished women who have direct- ed its social destinies, have become a part of the history of the State. Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Woodson, Mrs. Harden, Mrs. Montgomery, Mrs. Crittenden, Miss Harwood and Mrs. Morehouse are names that will be long remembered and agreeably re- dalled by means of our readers. The next name to be added to this The pleasures of the young and fair, With me will soon be over, My heart still wanders back to thee, My mother, Oh my mother.

Perry, a leading bauker and capitalists of St. Louis, and is a na- tive of Missouri: She was educated abroad, chiefly in France and Ger- many, and speaks the languages of those countries with fluency and de- cision. She has traveled extensively in three continents, is a charming conversationalist and a woman of marked literary tendencies. A lady of the highest social rank, she has for some years been a leader of society, and her entertainments have been famed for the elegance and effieiency with which they have been conducted. Recently she has almost given up society for her chil- dren, six in number, all boys, and all fine, intelligent, well-reared chil- dren. She is devoted to her hus- band and his interests, and will, by her tact and intelligence, add to the number of his friends and contribute to the success of his administration. She is of medium height, with dark hair and eyes and of pretty figure. Her face isan unusual one, fnll of thought, lively in expression, bright and vivacious in conversation. She is a member of the Presbyterian church and will doubtless sit under the ministration of Rev. Dr. Gauss. Missouri’s first lady by reason of her official position, she will main tain that position in the affectionate regard of the people.—Jefferson City Daily Tribune. a bome so fair, .my mother.

Washington, D.C., Jan. 24.—Rep- resentative Payson, of Illinois, ex- pects to lead the opposition to the Oklahoma bill in the house. He will present the protest of the Cher- oxee delegates, and the answer of Gov. Mays of the Cherokee nation, made to secretary Vilas concerning tue lease of the Cherokee strip. This later document has just been made public here, is rather tart. It was written October 10 1888, in response to the secretary's order of Septem- ber 28, informing the Indians that the United Ststes government would not recognize any lease of the Cher okee strip. Chief Mays begins by assuring the secretary that the Cherokees would never interfere with right that the United States may have in these lands. He then cites various treaties and deci- sions which he holds sustaining the claim of the Cherokee nation to ab- solute ownership and control of the Cherokee strip. Chief Mays seems to have had an abiding faith in Pres- ident Cleveland along in October, though it is not evident that he placed unlimited confldence in Sec- retary Vilas and the rest of the dem- ocracy, including Congressmen Springer and Weaver. In closing his letter to the secre- tary of theinterior, he says: New, with due respect for you and that great and just government that you represent, we only claim that which is certainly ours, aud we have an abiding faith that justice will be done us by the different de- partments of the United States goy ernment, with such great and honest menas Grover Cleveland at its head. This little vineyard is the fortune of the Cherokees, to own and occupy as a patrimony-—a heritage from our forefathers, secured to them by the more sacred title from the United States government under circum- stances that forced them away from their native homes they had loved and cherished so long.

Cincinnati, Jan. 23.—When the 3 p- m. express on the Cincinnati & Southern road got just beyond Lud- low last night a man heavily masked knocked at the rear door of the ex- press car and one of the messengers, thinking it was the conductor or brakeman, opened the door. The fellow at once made for the front door, where a vigorous pounding announced the presence of another person. The messenger, Henry Car- roll and his assistant, made a fight and succeeded in dumping the would- be robber off. He rolled down an embankment and disappeared. At the top of the grade the messenger pulled the bell rope and stopped the train, but the robber on the front Livery Stable. We keep nothing but first-class rigs.

Gallinger, Atkinson and Shaw, who are physicians as_ well as representatives, were hastily sum- moned from the hall and a messen- | ger was also dispatched for Dr. Sowers, who has been attending Mr. Burnes during the winter. The physicians labored with their pa- tient for an hour or more, and it was then decided to move him to his hotel (Willard s.) Here he com- smenced sinking and at 12:46 this morning passed quietly away. The deceased Congressman was born in Indiana in 1832, but lived the early part of his life in Platte county, Mo.

Cole- man, 705 ‘live Street, St. Louis, Mo Subscriptions may be left at our oflice Washington, Jan. 24.—Mr. Oates’ sub committee on naturalization yesterday reported its substitute. The provisions of this bill, briefly stated, require that an alien must re side five years in the United States before he can become a citizen; that at the expiration of that time he must appear in court and prove his residence, good moral character and fitness for citizenship. In the case of a United States court notice of his intention must be serv- ed on the representative of the Umt- ed States, and in the case of a state court the representative of the state government must be notified and attend the hearing. The present re- quirement of a declaration of inten- tion to become a citizen is dispens ed with. The bili was ordered to be printed and will be discussed Saturday. The views that were ex- pressed appeared to indicatea favor- able disposition of the bill. Marvelous Success. Ballards Horehound Syrup has been a marvelous success from its inception.

Jefferson City, Mo, January 16.— Fifty-seven years ago Judge James Earickson of Howard county, the | great-grandfather of .Mrs. D. R. | Francis. was state treasurer of Mis- souri. Jefferson City had no gu- bernatorial mansion at that time and Governor John Miller occupied rooms in the Capitol, but took his meals and spent most of his time at the home of Judge Earickson, a four-room log house, weather-board- ed. The “treasury” was a small, red rick room with an iron door and windows. Inside of this was an iron box in which the state treasure was kept, and Mrs. John D. Perry, the mother of Mre. Frar- cis, who was a little girl staying wiih her grand parents at that time, re- members seeing the Judge and oth- er officials there frequently counting the money, a good deal of which was cut pieces or silver dollars cut in two parts or halved for fifty cents,and in four or more parts fur twenty-five cents and 124 cents, which were called “bits.” After Gov. Miller's retirement from office Judge Earickson went back to his farm in Howard county, where he spent the remaicing days of his life in agricultural pursuits. He died at the age of sixty four years, leaving two children, a son and a daughter. The daughter was Mrs. Francis’ mother. A Samoan Appropriation.
