Sunday was the 142d anniversary of Wash ington' birthday. Monday, however, was generally observed instead, but there was no celebration of the event in this city.

Why was this thus I the memory of the Father of hit eountry growing lesa green year by year in the heart of bit country Heaven forbid 1 Gentlemen who havo just returned from lioonville inform ua that serious divisions and troubles characterized the deliberation! of the Granger in that city, and that they were by no means so harmonious In council as outsiders might have been led to expect. The whole dlf, Acuity seemed to binge on the fact that a num-" ber or the leaders, avaricious for office, were determined to run the "machine," so to ipeak, in their Individual interest, thus introducing the dread monster politics Into their order In contravention of the express provisions of the National Grange Constitution. What such dls- oussiona will result In remains to be seen. Tka Sedalia Democrat It Just a leetle severe an the poet of the TWo, who saw a lady go riding by." and straightway tried te mount Pegasus and follow bar into the realme of peeey. Tka troth ears tka Democrat, "the Me- dueien eolt threw him higher than Gilderoy't kite, and In tka fall every particle of the divine flatus was Jolted ont af him.

Wa learn that partle la Kansas City, appreciating the necessity of additional elevators at that point so soon aa tba barge are under way, are erecting two and alio contracting for a third. suggest that It la Important Jefereon City should asov In this matter. Tka bargee will afford a cheap mode of transportation for frelaht of all kinds, and an elevator will be necessary for the storage af grain, and to provide means for easy and rapid loading and unloading of freight. Let ns have an elevator by all means.

Such a point a Roger' bluff or the foot of Madison street afford an excellent tit for the purpose. Jake Killian, who killed William Lake, pro prietor of Lake' Cireua, at Granky In 189, was on Tuesday last sentenced by th Newton Cir cuit Court to imprisonment In the Penitentiary for a term af three years aad aeven months, and yesterday was delivered over to the Warden by the Sheriff of Newton county. The facts of the case are substantially as follow: Lake's Circus was exhibiting at Granby, Newton county, aad Killian wa a spectator. At the close af the circus performances concert waa given and an additional foe charged to wltaesa it This Killian refused to pay and was ejected by Lake and other. He lingered at the door of the tent, and when Lake came out shot him down in hi track.

He escaped a large reward wa of fered for apprehension; and month elapsed before hie capture, which ia believed to have been a put up job" with hi captor that they might enjoy between them the premised reward. This appears alt the more probable aa Killian believed to the hour 'of his sentence that he would be cleared on hie trial.

Book Katteeo. The Hepublle: Published by the Republic Publishing Compaay, Washington City, D. Terms, 81 per annum. The February number of The Republic now before us Is peculiarly valuable both on account of the variety of political subject upon which it treat, and the ability with which they are handled.

It presents a complete but condensed view of the work accomplished by Congress, which, aa it I continued from month to month, will be a'most valuable It also presents as it leading article the opinion of the local pre of the country upon all the leading questions now pending. A very valuable article Is the one which treat upon the vexed question, Capital, Labor and Wages." The essay enti led, The Mission of True Statesmanship," I an eloquent plea for a positive and progressive policy upon the subject of cheap transportation. The question of the Resumption of Specie Payment" is also brought under discussion, and there is In fact no subject which interests the public which is not Intelligently discussed In the present number. The appendix contains the able speeches of Senators Logan and Chandler, and Representative! H. S.

Bundy on "The Fl nancea," and R. H. Cain on "Civil Rights." Tho Chapman Slaters To-Nlght. If the burlesque drama were always repre sented by such charming young ladle a the Misses Chapman, tbero would be little objection to Its holding a permanent place upon the stage. They are said to enter Into the spirit of it with such unaffected gayety and elasticity, and with such winsome heartiness that the audience feel themselves part and parcel of the fun, and never think of criticizing the play for absurdities, or the players for lack of great hlstrionio abilities.

And better still, with nil their coquetry ami spriglitlincss they retain a personul respect which must alwayt insplro deferene and esteem. The newspaper wherever they have been speak af them In tba meet complimentary term. Say tba Savaaaah (Georgia) A'etcf, of December lath: When we say that the lister are piquant. sparkling, vivacious and excellent singer, wa say what la tba opinion of every one who has seen them; Ed. Chapman and A.

Glattford are capital In their aa vera! role Denham good, and Mist Nellie Linton charming. The comedy wa wall given, and tba ridiculous burlesque denominated Leo and Lotus wa presented In a snoot entertaining manner."

John Empeole died in 1872, leaving 600 acre of land and two children John aad William. By hi will (th term of which are clear and explicit) he devised all of hie eitate, real and personal, te John, and te his sea William be left fl.

to be paid out of his estate. There are two sabscribiag witnesses to th will, one of tenom the ion John, to whom all the estate was left. By section 36 of our statute of will (see SJ Wagner, p. 1369, see. 36) the devise to John it void, because he la a witness to the will, and by section 37 he takea the one-half of the estate which would have come to him if there had been no will.

But a the will I established by the testimony of John and the other witness, William can only take the fl left to him by the will. The property can not escheat to the State, aa there are known heirs and a will. Th question Is what is to be done with the other half of the property? Oeaco River ImprovoBaoat Memorial.

Louis, were not present, but bad already forwarded their contri butions to the memorial from their respective counties, which were received and embodied In the memorial. The memorial was read by Gov. MeClurg, approved aad signed. The memorial is a document of great value and importance. It embraces a reasonably foil report of the resource, of the value, agricultural and mineral, and a showing of the great wealth their development would give the coun try.

The feasibility of the Improvement of the river by means of locks and dams, which aloae will secure the development of those resources, is demonstrated by extracts from the report of eminent engineer, md as long ago as 1840 by Mr. Morell, and aa recently as 1873 by Col. J. H. Simpson, of the U.

8. Engineer Corps. The memorial will be sabmltted to the Legislature at aa early day with a view to Its indorse ment by that body and it transmission to Congress. Domwtmeat News. Monday.

Jaflereoa City aad the Capitol. I regret exceedingly to see or hear expressed any unnecessary allusion or apparent admission of any local cause of disease In or about the City of Jefferson. Aad that such iatlmatioae may not meet with the Indorsement of the citizens, or be entertained for a moment by the General Assembly and visitors, I assume the responsibility to find and present another cause than unhealthy ventilation of the Capitol building or any local cause whatsoever. I have resided in the city for over 80 years, and 20 years of that time have aca engaged in the practice of medicine, and know that there I no place in th Bute, or perhaps In the valley of the Mississippi, more exempt from disease, either epidemic or endemic As a citizen af the City of Jefferson since my early boyhood, I would, as a duty I ewe to myself and my borne, point to the cause of what little sickness aad very small mortality that has occurred among our legislators for the last two I say small mortality, because ltwould: have been greater with the same number of men in any avocation of life, all things being equal. Indeed, it is very little above that of the aame number of preferred constitutions.

Since there is no local cause of disease, it must be that unnecessary and avoidable exposure is the exciting cause In a large majority of the cases of sickness among our legislators. Improved and ready traveling facilities of tho present day Induce the members more frequently to pass to and from their homes and about the State, leaving comfortable quarters aad store rooms for the exposure of railroad travel and change of rooms and thus, so far as I have been able te ascertain, those who have slckeaed and died among us have contracted the prevailing diseases of the season. It is not the exposure in the House or Senate Chamber, but nine out of ten are traceable to exposure of travel to or from the city as tht exciting eause. These are sanitary suggestions for the consideration of the legislators. It is not tbe breathing of vitiated air of the illy ventilated, irregularly heated and crowded Hall.

Yet if tbe present Capitol building is not large enough to accommodate the members, or meet tbe demands of legislation, add to it, or build a new one. But we are not willing that Jefferson City, possessing, as it does, greater natural advaatages, beauty and health of location, river and railroad facilities, thaa any place in the State should be looked upon at home or abroad as uahealtby; and I can assure the legislators if they are never sick until breathing the air of the Halls of tho Missouri Capital produces it, they will never teel an ache er a pain. Respectfully, G. B. Winston.

Grace Greenwood. At the last Saturday evening; "reunion" Grace Greenwood, iu her inimitable way, gave us dramatic readings iu costume. Her personations exceeded anything the writer has seen ou the stage or in private life. Charlotte Cushman, Fanny Kemble, Scott Siddons, last but not least, our own Grace Greenwood, make all tbe stars oi the first magnitude that we have now in this particular heavens of genius. Attorney-General Williams says "that he looks upon Grace Greenwood as the best writer aad the most gifted woman in the country." Thi.t decision is legal, and may be considered final.

Years ago the preat and good Horace Mann said that she was not only "the most gifted, but that she was the most beautifiul woman he had ever seen and his passion for her in youthful days was pure as though she had been a disembodied spirit. It is so rare that beauty and genius are wedded to one soul. In the opinion of the writer, Grace Green, wood is a handsomer woman at fifty than in the "long ago." It is the difference between the budding green of April and the garnered glory of September. If her portrait was taken as she stands before us to-day and hung in the Corcoran gallery, the spectator would say "this must be a Roman matron who lived before the pall ot the Middle Ages darkened the earth." How does she look Pa brunette of tho purest typo, with clear-cut features, sorrowful, inquiring eyes, that shine as though a quenchless flame burned somewhere in the solitude oi her own soul. There are some pictures which are burned into the human mind.

We shall never forget her personation of "Over the hills to tho Poor House," one of Carleton's poems. The poverty-stricken tho worn carpet bag, the iron-bowed spectacles, the gray hair. From the highest to tho humblest of that goodly company scarce a dry eye was to be seen. Then she told us what Miss Tattle, from Itutton-ville, saw at a "llcjectivu Session of the Senate." This was lollowed by that which proves man to havo boon the only "created laughing animal." Vv. what port is a man bound during courtship Bouiid to Havre..
