St. Louis
Washington, Feb. 25. -Colonel j
Alexander Jones, of Independence,
do., on a visit to Washington, leila !
thc following story of thc last hours j
of the Missouri legislature at the
breaking out of the Civil War and j
Senator N est's celebrated speech in
that body, with his subsequent flight
to the Confederate lines and his che
{ton hy twenty-two members of Col
onel .1 'iics's regiment to thc Confcd
irate Congress. Said the Colonel .
"'ll is a long time av'", bul I think j
! can (jive it to you. 1 had been
with General A tc li ison in the border]
troubles in Kansas l'<?r .- une time anti
was pretty much used up, so I thought
I would take a rest for the winter at
ieliersoii City, amusing myself hy
listening to the exciting debates in
the Legislature which 1 knew were
bound to follow. There were some
very bi;- men in that body of State
lawmakers. Among them was George
?Vest, a young saddle bug lawyer from
Boonvillc, who at that time was open
ing a modest law oflioe with fair pros
pect?* for his future.
'??Claiborne Jackson was Governor
and was-as pronounced a pro-slavery
l>cniocrat. as Vest. That remarkable
war Legislature, which has gone into
"history,was composed of 1(?0 meiu
bers, %^ ?well AB 1 can remember. Of
that/ncmbcr twenty-two were Union
mevand opposed to Missouri being
iefcin out of tho Union on snap judg
ment by Vest and his followers in the
L?gislature, with Governor Jackson
ou me outside to back them up with
his official approval. Tho situation
was becoming daily moro serious
around thc capital as to the future of
Missouri.
"Governor Jackson and General
Sterling Price made a visit to St.
Louis to confer with Captain Lyon of
the United States Army, then in com
mand of tho arsenal and forces at that
place. The interview between these
gentlemen and Captain Lyon was uoi
satisfactory to tho ai. Ho gavo them
two hourB to get out of tho city, which
they did by taking a special train to
Jefferson City, stopping long enough
at each of tho railroad bridges to burn
them down. They did not leave a
bridge between St. Louis and the
capital over the line they traveled
"It was deemed advisable to arm
tho members of the Legislature with
.muskets and ammunition sufficient to
resift an attack by the United States
forces. It was agreed that the mem
bers should be equipped for battle as
required in the army regulations.
Accordingly euch member was fur
nished with a musket and cartridge
box filled with ammunition. Thus
armed, they oontinued to legislato
with their muskets lying across their
)ap9 and oartridge belts around their
waists ready for a fight or a ruo,
whichever was more prudent and de*
airable.
".While this was geing on inside .
the Capitol building, Governor Jack
son Was on the outside with his pis
tols strapped to his waist and a rifle
on his shoulder, while the bridle of
j his horse lay across his arm.
11A few days after the attack on
the Sixth Maseaohussetts Regiment
in Baltimore by the mob Vest arose
in his seat and, after he had stacked
his musket, he thus addressed thc
House :
M 'Mr. Speaker, I noticed in a morn
' ing newspaper a dispatch whioh reads
as follows (holding up the paper):
"The bodies of the soldiers that were
killed in Baltimore, belonging to a
. Massachusetts regiment, have been
placed on ice aud shipped to New
England for burial." I say, Mr.
: Speaker, if this Yankee Government
expeots to put the body of evory sol
dier who is killed in an effort to
?oeroe the South on ice, Linooln had
better make a contract for Greenland's
Icy Mountain and that d-d quick 1
The undertakers will need it all be
fore they finish the job of burying the
iead.'
''About the time he closed his re
" marks a messenger rushed into the
1 House of Representatives and hand
- ed a telegram to the presiding offioer,
who passed it to the clerk and asked
? him to read it to the members of the
5 House. The dispatch waB as fol
lows :
" 'Captain Lyon and' Frank Blair
'-are en route to Jefferson City with
1 three regiments of troops to capture
? the Legislature and hang all the aeces
. sionista of that body.'
"'Thank. God for that 1' exclaimed
' one of the union members from a back
. county. 'A few pairs of plow lines
"well used on some members of
' the House will do the Union ciuse
"\ * some good.' ,

take place without voting the presid
ing officer the usual vote of thank-.
After thu panic had partly subsided,
it was ascertained thc message was a
hoax iutended to tesl the courage of
thc legislative warriur-1.
I ''Shortly after, however, th-' news
j reached Jefferie II '.'ny that Colonel
j Lyon bad actually captured Camp
Jackson and lE??l j>r?>u? : and was
! then moving <>.? lo Huon ville. I herc
j wa-* a general panie, and every man
struck out for his own safety. N est
' arni ' ?' ?vernor Jackson were the li rs I
tn make the break, and a bee-line f<>r
the southern part of the Stale, win rr
they thought they would be safe 'from
danger.
The Co vernor, with as many mem
bers as could keep up with him, halt
ed at Ncoslio to hold a meeting of the
Legislature. They took possession of
the Presbyterian Ch ut ch of that town
for a legislativo hall, and herc thc
j remnant of thc spirited and dctcr
I mined body of war statesmen met to
consider what was best to bc done to
pull Missouri into the rebellion.
"They had not moro than gotten
down to business when old Jim Lane
swept down on them from the Kansas
side and put thc Governor and bis
Legislature to inglorious flight. There
was no safety for them except in thc
rear of General 1'rice'a army, as the
I war began to closo down too hard,
I and there was bloody fighting ali
arouud. The moving Legislature bo
came tired and demoralized. Some of
? them joined Price's army and others
scattered out over difieren?: sections
of the country.
"There was such an army of camp
followers and loungers banging arcaud
Price's army that tho old General
issued an order compelling er cry able
bodied man from Missouri to either
enlist in tho Confederate Army or
leave tho camp. This order I ell heav
ily on George Vest, for. said he : '!
am not a soldeir, but a statesman : I
am not built fur a soldier.'
.'However, the orders of cruel war
had to be obeyed, and Vest left us.
He spent bis last night in camp with
me, and early the next morning start
ed out in tho direction of Arkansas.
I did not bear of him again until in
Richmond, when, one day, much to
my surprise, one of the boys came,
around with a small printed handbill,
which anuounocd that George G. Vest,
of Boonville, Mo., was a candidate for
the Confederate Congress.
"There wero several boys fro na
Vest's district in the command, so ire
got together and cleoted George to
Congress without any billot-box stuff
ing intimidation, lt was a fres bal
lot and a fair count, and that is the
reason why George was so much in
favor of fair elections since he won |
his first congressional honors by a
fair honest count, for twenty-two of
us did it, and old Governor Jackson
put tho great seal of the State of Mis
souri OU his certificate.
"MT. Vest had many hair breadth
escapes and adventures trying to rcaoh
Richmond, tho moro serious of those
being with Confederate troops. Some
times he was taken for a spy, and at
other times had great difficulty in es
caping from impressment as a soldier.
He rode into tho camp of tho Six
teenth Missouri command, neav Fort
Smith, Ark. He was greeted by the
boys as 'A damned Yankee spy,' and
preparations were immediately made
to swing him up. Vest protested
who ho was, and excited demands for
his papers, with a rope dangling in
the hands of tho soldiers, drew from
him the following:
" 'Boys, I am from Missouri, and
have been elected to the Confederate
Congress at Riohmond, and hare is thc
certificate of Governor Jackson.'
"The document was immediately
scanned and Vest's life was savod.
One of the soldiers, remembering some
of the proceedings of the Legislature,
of which Vest was a member, carno
forward and said :
" 'Boys, I know this little rascal.
He is the ohap who raised so much
hell in the Legislature among them
Union fellows. He is the one who
told them Yanks that if they expect
ed to pot all their dead soldiers on
ice, Abe Lincoln would have to make
a contract for Greenland's loy Moon-,
tains.'
"At the conclusion of his speech
Vest wai? lifted from his saddle, and
greeted by a rebel yell, as the boys
bore him triumphantly on their shoul
ders LO the teat of Colonel Jackson,
who was a personal friend of the Con
federate Congrecsmau eleot.
"After leaving this camp that was
the last the Missouri boys ever saw of
George. Ho remained in Richmond
uatil thc dose of the war, whore ho
was admired for his ability."
I?IMHIM ?I t.r It.tUli H.
Tiic battle ol Borodino, fought bc
twieiithc I'renell and ibu Russians
near Mo-eow in l-l-, wa- the uio?t
murderous Gght, not only of the la^t
century, but, perhaps, of thc last 500
years.
The records rdiow that Borodino en
gaged annies of from 12,000 to 130,
0UU on each side; that there was but
one day of vigorous fighting; that the
French, after pouring a most murder
ous cannon Gro upon thc Russians, !
advanced upon the Russians'position,
were repeatedly repulsed with terrible
loss, and finally rushed thejfsoldiers
of the czar off their feet and out of
tho vantage ground. Thc eFrench
won, but lost 12,000 killed'?on thc
field and 28,000 wounded. Fifteen
thousand Russians were Blain >"and
30,000 wounded. Oat of about 250,
OUO men who nude up the contending
armies, 85,000, or :?1 per cent-more
than one third, were struck by bullets,
bayonet * or swor is.
At Waterloo about 15,000 mon were
killed or wounded out of perhaps 200,
. ?Iii) engaged. Vt Gettysburg about
100,000 fought and ?,.;<:h anny had,
approximately, 2,900 kilh-dand 1 1,000
wounded. In th?; Wilderness prob
ably 200,000 men were in action and
the ii^bt-which lasted a week or
more-resulted in n combined loss
of about 8,000 killed and ?10,000 wound
ed.
Borodino, a fight now almost forgot
ten, which bad no influence on the
history of the world, and which, so
far as actual results went, need not
even have been fought, was the blood
iest of modern battles. Napoleon's
victory availed him nothing, for be
was burned out of Moscow anyway,
and tho Russians simply sacrificed
men in thc vain attempt at a triumph
which thc snows of winter soon
brought them anyhow. Tho tmoEt
gory of battles was also the most use
less, and is now JUC of the least re
! membered.-Chicago Journal.
Illustrious Turncoat"
"Times chango and we change with
them," is a Latin maxim that finds its
best illustration in the political career
of great men.
Napoleon, began a revolutionist,
the protege of Robespierre, and ended
an emperor; Cmsar began a patrician
and eur1, .a a plebeian. History is
full of su.'h changes. In our own
country there ure some notable instan
ces.
Andrew Jackson started a radical
States rights man and wound up by
threatening to hang Calhoun for his'
nullification doctrine.
Charles Franois Adams, abolition
candidate for president in 18-18, and
minister to England under Lincoln's
administration, died a Demoorat.
George W. Julian, abolition candi
date for vice president io 1852, died a
Democrat office holder, under Cleve
land.
Charles Summer, first Volition sen
ator from Massachusetts, and Lyman
Trumbull, the first anti-slavery sen
ator from illinois, both voted against
Grant.
Horace Greeley ended up aa a Dem
ocratic candidate for president. Dana
by whose orders Miles put irons on
Jefferson Davis, supported Tilden.
Boutwell, Grant's secretary of the
treasury, left the Republican party,
and Benjamin Harrison at the time of
his death, was not in sympathy with
it.
Ben Butler, who refused a place on
the ticket with Lincoln, was after
wards olooted governor of Massachu
setts by the Democrats. ,
Governor Hoadley of Ohio, landed,
as a Democrat, in the governor's
chair two j ears af tor quitting the
Republican party.
Chief Justioo Chase, thc first Re
publican senator from Ohio, died a
Democrat.

A DKLLSION.
Why <?nat Weall!) s., Oflcn Tails lo
liriug liu|?i?incss.
I
I Though many people, who do not
think very deeply, always have been
prone to combine the idea of great
wealth with happiness, the less super
licial at all times have realized that a
rich mau is not necessarily a happy
one.
Io the fables of all nations wc find
stories dealing with thc anxiety of thc
rich man that he might bc deprived
of his wealth, how he trembles at the
thought of robbers and burglars, which
his imagination makes bim see every
where.
To be true, this kind of fear and
anxiety was of a very primitive na
ture and is unknown to the rich of to
day.
And still even thc rich man of to
dav, in spite of Hafcs and banks and
steel vaults, has bis fears aud anxietj
and to be sure ut keeping what^ h<
possesses or even add to it he mus'
possess personal qualities which an
not given to every one.
Thc person who is unable to follow
economical and political events an<
arrange his holdings accordingly mus
go backward and at last jose hi
wealth, no matter how his i" . ^ne i
invested.
It is by no means a p?fatj,xof ai
exaggeration to say that, after all, n
investment is absolutely safe.
Government bonds may be convert
cd and pay leas interest, and in eas
of war and revolutions lose all value
Municipal and railroad bonds, an
still more, all kinds of industria
stocks or stooks in banks, derive thei
value mainly from the ability of th
managers of these concerns.
Even real estate in city or countr
may decrease in value from politice
or other reasons.
The rich man who can or will d
nothing more than cut coupons c
collect interest must always suffer b
the idea that something may happe
to make him less rich or even poor.
I know of many rich people whoi
this fear makes exceedingly unhappy
who live in continuous dread of Socia
ists and other advocates of social ri
forms, and who for this reason b<
come prey for the advocates of ri
aotion, of politicians who play upo
their fear as upon a musioal iostrt
ment.
Others, and I am glad to say quit
a ?arge number of rioh people, ha^
arrived at the oonolusion that thc
owo their wealth to society, and thi
for this reason they have duties t
society, duties which some think th:
they can fulfill by magnificent charil
on a large scale; others in actual sooi
and political activity.
Here is where the personality corni
in.
The rich man who dreads or is ii
! oapable of every effort and respont
bility is always under the spell
fear of what migut Lappen in the f
I ture.
? In later years it is rather eurprisii
I to notioe the number of rich peop
who have recognised the teachin,
and doctrines of socialism, and \
i have no right to doubt their sinonT
even if they have not made the st
in full and given up their wealth f
the benefit of their follow-men.
They are either like the man wi
sets fire to thc grass around his bou
when he sees a prairie fire coming,
"like a man who jumps in the wal
that he may not be soaked by a threi
ening shower.
It may be considered a fact tb
the possession of wealth carries wi
it a certain amount of uneasiness a
anxiety, and the question is then th
Does the possession of riohes cai
with it sufficient enjoyment to ooti
terbalanoe this anxiety?
This is by no means oertaic; it
hardly even probable.
In the first place, what is riche
Who is a rich man? The primiti
definition is this: The man is ri
who possesses more than he rea
needs. This sounds simple onoug
but what does a man need; what <
the necessaries of life?
Also this question suggests a rea
answer.
The necessaries of lifo consist of
those things for whioh a man ha
physical craving. But as this cravi
is of a subjective nature, the neo
saries of life are different to differ?
people.
To the onlooker a certain pen
may seem rioh while he himself v
sw?sr that he has absolutely no mi
than he actually needs.
Among New York multimillii
aires the man is considered poor w
among Germans is considered v<
wealthy.
Ooo thing is olear: If the owo
of great wealth were phiiosoph
with ides1 opinions and conception
life and its purpose and object, tl
they might truly be called happy i
worthy of jealousy from those ?
are poor.. .
But where do we find these philo
phioal millionaires or millionaire pl
osophers?
Hardly ever in real life.
The rioh . man is not content w
being able to satify his physical i
organic cravings; on the contrary,
pends most of his time in increasing
i- needs, bis demands; and a* soon i
us mun begins to crave more iban
what is necessary to maintain life,
these demands grow with ever-increas
ing rapidity-se quickly, in fact, that
there is something in the saying that
the rieher a man gets the less bc is
able to satisfy his wishes.
All human needs may be divided
into individual and social needs.
Tho first aro those which a human
hoing has because he ie a living being
and which he would have even if he
were marooned on a lonely island.
The second he feels because ho is a
member of society, and these are con
tinually growing within him.
The rich man lives too well; that is,
he does not live weil at ali.
Even the moat temperate rich mad
eats more than is good foi him be
cause the enticing dishes and table
before him always tempt him.
?u his dining-room and sleeping
room thc rieh man suffers through
what he has.
In the salon be suffers through
what he hus not, but what he wishes
for.
He is not satisfied with being ad
mired by those who have less, ho
wants to inness those who have
more, and this desiVs urges him on in
the social race, which ixhausts brm
like an overtrained raoe hor.T*'
Think of the life of American mil
lionaires at Newport, think of th
many sleepless nights they spend in
their efforts to excel one another to
attract attention if only for a mo
ment.
"A dog would not be satisfied with
such a life," they would undoubtedly
exclaim with Faust if they knew
Faust, whijh most of them do not.
At present a person must be enor
mously rich to keep pace with the
leaders.
The moral satisfaction which the
higher developed character considera
infinitely muoh higher than the phy
sical satisfaction in the way of food
and clothes, the glorious feeling of
power and influence, is already under
stood by tho modern oaptain of in
dustry and the trust magnate, who
thinks, works and acts, but not by
the passive millionaire idler of New
port.
Money is a powerful weapon, but
in the eyes of man it is not the man
who guards the arsenal where wea
pons are kept who counts, but the
soldier who uses them and wins the
battles.
It is the personality which gives
money its social value.-Max Nordan
in St. Louis Republic.
