J'HESE YARDS are located at
East St; Louis, Illinois, directly op-posite
the city of* St. Louis and
nearer the Business Centre than any
yards located therein. They cm-brace
ah area of 650 acres, of wliioh
100 Acres are Enclosed
for the special business of the yard,
and 60 Acres are under Sheds.
Construbted in the year 1873, improve-inputs
suggested by experience in other
yards, Have'l»ePtl introduced and it is
believed these yards present advauta-ges
for the care of stock, whether in
winter or summer, not offered by any
other yards.
The stock arriving is unloaded dir-ectly
in the pens and placed imme-diately
on the market.
Buyers from New York, Boston, Chi-cago,
Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville
and other points are permanently lo-cated
at the yards, and shippers can
confidently anticipate an active and
reliable market for all receipts how-eeer
large and for all grades of stock.
Every effort will be made to aavfcbee
the confidence ot shippers in the St,
Louis livestock market which has al-ready,
through the agency of these
frards, become at least the equal of any
ive stock market In the west, and by
shippers concentrating the live stock
trade in this market, it will become the
largest wholesale market in the west
for cattle as it is now the equal of any
fer all other stock.
A first class hotol for the convenience
of its patrons is attached to the yard.
The Kaat St. Louis Stock Yard Bank,
under the management of Newmau,
Hastings A Co., has its offioe in the gen-eral
offices of the yard.

[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
The Case of Christianity vs. Hen-ry
Ward Beecher is not yet conclu-
(led. When Plymouth Church
munificently rewarded a man who
could not, after a six months’ trial,
be found innocent of adultery, the
enme of which Beecher was accused
became the crime of the church as
well as of Beecher. A member of
the church might fall from grace
under sore temptation and the
great cause of the Christian reli-gion
suffer no harm. But when a
vast Christian organization endorses
adultery and perjury, and pays a
premium of a hundred thousand
dollars or such a matter for those
offences the Christian religion suf-fers
an irreparable injury.
The Beecher case has passed be-yond
Beecher. It now covers more
than Plymouth Church. It reaches
to the Congregational churches of
the country, and especially affects
the standing of the Congregational
churches of Brooklyn and New
York. They, if inactive, appear as
parties to the endorsement of
Beecher’s crime, or at least arc
covered with the suspicion of evil.
The action of Plymouth Church
in dropping, or attempting to drop,
the name of Mrs. Moulton from
membership is most singular. She
or Beecher is guilty of perjury.
But this charge is not brought
against her. She is only charged
with absence. She answers that
she is absent because the pastor of
Plymouth Church is an adulterer
and a perjurer, and she properly
denies the right of a Christian Con-gregational
church to practically
expel a member for absence on
such grounds.
Plymouth Church should expel
its pastor or Mrs. Moulton for per-jury.
It dare not attempt to expel
Mrs. Moulton on that ground. It
will not expel Beecher. Now, if the
Congregational Churches do not
expel Plymouth Church they be-come
as a denomination either the
advocates of adultry or of perjury.

The civilized Indians of the Na-tion
are getting tired of the facil-ity
w ith which white men have
heretofore been galvanized into
copper-colored denizens of that
sovereign commonwealth, and new
forms have been imposed on the
marriage ceremony, under which
the white man became as good as
an Indian ;
The new Choctaw marriage law
requires a white man, who designs
marrying a Choctaw citizen, to ob-tain
a license from a circuit clerk or
Judge, or to make oath or other
satisfactory showing before them,
that he has no living wife, from
whom he is not legally divorced ;
and to present to the clerk or judge
a certificate of good, moral charac-ter,
signed by at least ten respect-able
citizens, who shall have been
acquainted with him at least twelve
months immediately preceding the
signing of such certificate. It also
requires him to take an oath to sup-port
the constitution of the Choc-taw
Nation.
tt is further stipulated that a
white man or white woman, marry-ing
in compliance with tins law,
shall be citizens of the Chootaw
Nation, even aifter being a widow,
or widower, provided they do not
many a citizen of the
States, in which event they
their rights of citizenship.

Accident to Pauline Lucca.
(From the Evening Post.]
Madame T.ucca, having been en-gaged
for a series of six opera per-formances
at the Royal Theatre
de laMonaieat Bntssells, left her
country, swat; at Goldenberg, in
Switzerland, on the ‘27tli of Octo-her,
intending to drive to the rail-way
station at Zurich. The horses,
becoming frightened by the way,
became unmanageable, and dashed
at a rapid pace toward the lake,
near which the carriage was over-turned
and Madame Lucca thrown
out. She sustained several bruises,
and was taken to a hotel near by,
where her injuries, it is said, will
detain her for a" period of six weeks.
Her husband, who was with her es-caped
unhurt.
CONSTANCY. ■
Down through the orchard wandered
■Where, bending low, each burdened tree
Huugfufrbf fruitage yellow.
’Twas morning, and the autumn sun
Shone on the leaves of gold and dun
With a radiance soft and mellow.
There came a blush upon her cheek,
I thought my time had come to speak,
She seemed So sad and tender;
I touched her snowy, dimpled hand.
But found no words at my iommind.
My burning love to render.
At last we paused beneath a tree; '
Tne branch that sheltered her and me
Reached low Its luscious fruit:
“Be seated, pray,” I gently plead,
“I cannot—cannot,” soft she said,
“I’m In my walking suit.”* **
Job it Wilke’s Booth’s Sweetheart.
Celia Logan writes from New
York to the Hartford Courant:
“There is a lady in this city who.
was once engaged to be married to
John Wilkes Booth, but broke off
the match and requested the return
of her letters, which he refused.
Her story goes that she never heard
directly from him again, until two
years after Ins reported death,
when a man called at her house at
(Jusk. She opened the door her-self;
he handed her a sealed pack-age
and disappeared. On opening
it she discovered her own old love-letters
to Bootli and a line unrnis-takably
in his hand. It was, ‘I
return your letters.’ Inside th#
letters was a piece of a Cuban^
newspaper. She is a firm ifisbe-’
liever in his death.”
TheTtchborne Claimant!.
The Tichborne claimant is said to
have written as follows from his
prison a few weeks ago: “Strange
to say, I am still alive, nor is my
spirit so broken by past misfortunes
as to be intimidated by threats or
punishments into denying my name
and existence. God in his great
goodness has entirely frustrated the
evil designs and virulent machina-tions
of man, as is evident by my
being still alive. * * * Therefore,
I may say my heart is comparative-
1 v light, for, knowing, as I do, that
1 have never intentionally injured
man, woman, or child, or intention-ally
broke any of the just laws of "
my country, I feel sure the time is
not far distant when our gracious
Majesty will no longer refuse to
lear the voice of her subjects, es-
>ecially when all they ask is that
ustice may be done an innocent
and injured man.”
Strange If True.
Mr. Ned Harris, who lives on th*
Buchanan and Peaks of Otter turn-
; like, says a correspondent of the
’’incastle; Herald, tejlfiiibis story.
He says the night before the freeze,
in April last, that he hung several
pieces of old iron ir ten of his trees,
and that the fruit trees are now
loaded with peaches, and he thinks
there will not be less than seventy-five
bushels. The fruit of the ,re-maining
trees, fifteen in number,
in the orchard were all killed. A
piece of horse shoe was hung in a
cherry tree in the orchard, and it
was loaded with fruit, whilst in
three adjacent treesthe was fruit en
tirely killed. He says the idea
originated with his mother, and
that he, by her instructions, when a
boy, had done the same thing fre-quently,
with similar results.—

The proprietor of the Uniontown
(Ky) Local refuses to receive the
amount of subscriptions in wild
plums. He says he must draw the
line somewhere, and he draws it at
wild plums.
The Supreme Court of the State of New
York has decided that J. C. Ayer & 0o., off
Lowell, have the sole right to use the words
Cherry Pectoral for a medicine, and has
Issued an injunction against. F. V. Rushtou,
of New York city, for selling Rushtou’a
Cherry Pectoral, or Cherry Pectoral Lozenges,
or any other use of the name to deceive the
public. This decision of the high court in-eludes
all dealers who sell any similar article.

Like to Obtain.—No doubt the public
would like to obtain what it requires at aa
cheap a rate as possible, aud many times are
Induced to purchase the cheapest articles they
can ’procure, 'overlooking the fact that al-though
professedly the cheapest they are lu
reality the dearest In the end. Take Pr.
Price’s Cream Baking Powder aud his True
Flavoring Extracts, and they may cost a few
cents more than the common kind yet they
are the cheapest, for they require one-ttiira
less in quantity, and when used In cakes, pies,
puddings, &c., make them splendid and also
wholesome. We have yet to see the house-wtfe
that was not satisfied with these articles.
As there are powders sold In bulk for Dr.
Price’s—which are not his—be sure to get the
genuine, put up in cans securely labelled^
and made only by Steele & Price.
