The last live presidents of the United States have been men who did not pipe for their own nomination. Arthur did not do so, iind he had a vtry faint hope of becoming- vice-president. Providence gave him tlie place, and not pipe hiying.

The snme was the case with who would, not let del- egatwus go to Cincinnati in his favor; and told me at Columbus, two or three days after tho nomination, that he had re! used to let his friends abuse the hospitality of the state in which the convention was held by physical dera- onstiUioua in his favor. He received the nomination because the self- were all beaten; while Mr. Tilden, who iit that time, was a seeker, lost the presidency after all his pains, and by the concessions of his own party. Grant was not drumming up delegates to nominate him in 1868, when he was elected, nor yet in 1872. Lincoln never wrote a letter outside of Illinoi.s to work up his for lha presidency, altliough the Western peoide, warm in his support, did make a great deal of noise at the convention; hut he was not a self- seeker in the way a dozen men me now trying to get the liiyiiig tho pipe in every direction for it.

It is thereforo plain-that none of these nieii who are caudldatea for the preaideticy three years in jidvance are to come anywhere near it. The iirst step to lose the presidency is to get it ou the brain. The Mother of Forty-Four Children, If the great Napoleon's famous defl- nition of superlative female excellence may be accepted as correct. Dr." Mary Austin is unquestionably the most admirable woman in France. This lady has just completed her 33d year' of wedded life, during which period she has presented her husband with no fewer th.m forty-four pledges of her wifcily affection.

In the spring of 1853, four yestrs after her marriage, Mary Austin, nee Klind, passed her Qnal examination at the medical col lege of Orleans, and ohtaini diplomas authoiiziug her to practice in both branches of her profession, Aa soon as the Franco-Prussian war broke out alie joined the army of the union with her husband, and the proliflc pair served with extraordinary distinction throughout the four years' Dr. Austin in her surgical capac'ly andCol.

JESSE JAMES. The Notorious Outlaw and Bandit Killed at St. Joseph, Mo.

TUP. KILLINO IN Biwc'al 10 KiinMs City ST. Jo.st:pit, April 8 and 9 o'clock thia morning James, the Missouri outlaw, before whose record the deeds of FraDiavolo, Dick Turpin and Shi 11 terh am 1 es wi t.i w.ta killed by a li'iy 21 years old named llobt. Ford, nt his temporary residence on Thirteenth and Lafayette alreets, in this city. In the light of all moral reasoning the ahnnt ing was wholly unjustifiable, but the j.aw the 150,000 re- wiird offered by the state for the body of the brigand dead or alive will doubtless go to the man who had the cour- draw a revolver on the notorious Oittbiw when his back was turned, as in this case.

There was little douot that the killing was tho result of a premeditated plan formed by Robert and Charles Ford several montlis tigo, Clmiles had been an accomjilJCB of James since the 3d of last November, and enyrely jpossessed jus Robert Ford, brother, joined Jesse near Mrs, Samuels (the mother ot the James boys) hist Friday a week ago, and accompanied Jesse and Charles to this city Sunday, March 23. Jo98o, his wife and two children removed from City (where tliey had lived several nimitha until they feared their whereabouts would be sus- liected) to this city, arriving here Nov. 8, 1881, coming in a wagon and accompanied by Charles FonJ. They rented a house on the corner of Lafayette and Twenly-firat streets, the.y stayed two months, when they secured the house No. 1318 on Lafayette street, formerly, the property of Coimcilman Aylesbury, paying a nionth for it and giving the name of THOMAS HOWAIi.D, The house is a one stovy cottage.

Vainted white, witli green and is romantically situated on tlje brow of a Itfty eminence cast of the city, com- a flue view of principal portion of the city, river and railroads, and adapted by nature for the perilous and desperate calling of Jesse James. Jiiat of the house is a deep, gulch- like ravine, and beyond that a broad expanse ot open country backed by a belt of timber. The house, except from the west side, can be seen for several miles. There la a largo yard attached to the cottage, and a stable where Jesse had been keeping two horses, which were found there this morning. Charles aiidTlohert Ford have been occupying one of the rooms in the rear of the' dwelling, and have secretly had au understanding to kill Jesse ever since laat fall.

A short time ago, before Robert had joined James, the latter proposed to rob the bank at Platte City. He said the Rurgess murder trial would commence there to-day and his plan waa if they could get ajiother companion to take a view of the sitiia- tion and while the arguments were being heard iu the murder case, which would naturally engage the attention of the citizeiLS, boldly execute one of his FAVORITE HAIDS. Charley Ford approved of tho plan, and suggested his brother Robert as a companion wortliy of sharing the enterprise with them. Jesse had met the boy at tho Idtter's house, iioiir Riclimond three years ago aud consented to see him. The two men accordingly went to where wa.s, aiid have him accompany them to I'latte City.

As stated, three came to St. Joe a week ago Sunday, They Kin-iined at the IIOUSR all thought it liesi tluit llobert should not exhibit hiaisi-ir on Ihd tireniiaoH, lest tho presence of three abie-holiel men who were tiothing should exc't suspicion. They had llxed upon to-night to go to Platte City. Ever since the buys have been with thay have wateii- ed for au opportunity to shoot him, but he waa always so lieavily armed that it was imiwsiblo to draw a weapon without Jesse seeing it. Thoy declare that they htid no idea of taking him alive, considering the undertaking Buicidal.

The opportunity they had long wished for came thia morning. Breakfast was over. Cliarley Ford and Jesse Jnmea had been- in tlie stable cnrrying the horses preparatory to their night ride. On returning to the room wliere Robert Ford was. Said: "It's an awfully hot day." He pulled ofiE hia coat and vest and tossed them on the bed.

He then picked up a dusting brush with the intention of dusting sorae iiiclures which hung on the wall. To ilo this he got on a chair. Ilia back waa now turned to the brothers, who silently stepped between JESSE AND ins IIEVOLVKHS. At a motion from Charley both flrew their guna.

The ball bod entered the base of the skull and made its way out through the forehead, over the left eye. It had been fired out of a Colt's 45 improved pattern, silver-mounted and pearl-handled pistol, presented by the dead man to his Blayer-only few days ago. Mrs. James was in the kitchen when the shooting was done, sepjtrated from the room in which the bloody tragedy bjjT Mfa diQing -iooKt.

Turrel, who had known the Jameses under the tissumed name of Howard ever since tliey had occupied the adjoining house. She was greatly affected by the tragedy, and the heartrending moans and expressions of grief were sorrowjPul evidence of the love she bore for the dead desperado. The report of the killing of the notorious outlaw spread like wildfire through the city, and as usual the report assumed every variety of form and color.
