St. Louis, July 10.—An east
Ik)ultd t,ram on tlie Missouri Pa
cilic R. R. left Otterville, Mo., a
few minutes.past 10 orclock last
night. When two and a half miles
east of that place, in a deep cut,
the engineer sent a signal light
to stop, thinking some obstruc-
tion was on the track, he appli-
ed the air break and after near
iug a few yards, discovered a
pile of ties and lumber on the
track. He comprehended the
situation, but could not stop the
train, it was not till the locorno
tive had climed partly on the
pile, that the train came to stand
still. A dozen or fifteen men
appeared with terrific yells and
discharging their pistols, dash
ed at the train. Two jumped
on the engiiie, and with navy re-
volvers c icked and presented at
the engineer and firemau,threat
ened to kill them if they offered
resistance. They were carried to
the baggage car and put under
guard. At the same time, three
other robbers climbed into the
express car, by a side door
which was open. Bushnelly the
express messenger however had
been too quick,, he had dashed
through the car to the rear sleep
er and gave the safe keys to a
brakeman, who put them in his
shoe.
Mr. Copkling, baggage man of
the train, was in the express
car when the robbers entered,
and they demanded the keys' of
the safe. He told them he was
not manager and had no key.
Two robbers then put Conkling
in front of them, and with re-
volvers at his head, marched
him through the train, demand-
ing that he should point out the
messenger. When they came
to him in this way they passed
through the entire train to the
Terror of women and children
and great fear of male passen-
gers, many of whom bad crouch-
ed under their seats and hid
themselves in various ways.
Arriving at the rear sleeper,
Conkling pointed out Bushnell,
and the robbers demanded the
safe keys. Under the circum-
stances there was nothing to be
done but yield, and Bushnell
took the keys from the brake
man and handed it to the rob-
bers.One of the latter then stood
uard over Bushnell and the
others marched Conkling back
to the express car, where tney
opened the Adam’s safe and put
the entire contents in a wheat
sack. Not being able to open
the safe with the keys they got
from Bushnell, one man went lo
the engine, got a pick and broke
in a panel.
The robbers then took the R.
R. letter box and broke it open,
but not finding anything , they
wanted, scattered the letters
over the floor ; they also went
to a freight car but found noth-
ing there that seemed worth
their notice. While these acts
were being performed the re-
mainder of the robbers were
making night hideous by march
ing up and down outside the
train, yelling like devils and
firing off their pistols. In this
way the passengers were com-
pletely terrified, and not the
least show of resistance was
made. When their work was
done they departed in a south-
erly direction. It is understood
that a posse is in pursuit and at
last accounts were onlv 10 miles
behind them. As far as can be
learned Adams Express Com-
pany lose some $60,000 and the
U. S. Co., about $12,000
Raleigh, July. 10.—Jn the

| be thorough reform and the old
style of making honesty, capaci-
ty and fidelity-the qualifications
! for office, should be returned
and strictly adhered to. If lie
is elected he will be -governed
by this rule. He favors a single
presidential term as being best j
calculated to accomplish reform
and civil service and declares it
as his inflexible, purpose, if elec-
ted not to be a candidate for a
second term; he declares for a
return to specie payment, but
names no time when this should
be done; he promises constitu-
tional amendment, placing pub
lie schools bevond all danger of
sectarian influence and give at
some length his views on pacifi-
cation of the Southern States,
agreeing thoroughly with the
platform, qu this subject he also
favors the speedy, thorough and
unsparing prosecution and pun-
ishment of all peace officers who
rbetray public trusts.

Up to this noon no official re-

Commit the day unto the Lord,
for you will need guidance, anti
giaec and strength.
Your will is likely to be cross-
ed, and your temper veilled; you
will find out that everyone at
home, has an evil nature like your
own; this may disturb the har-
mony of home, and you will need
.wisdom to judge between what
is right and what is wrong; what
you should yield, and what you
should hold. Family prayer is
a mighty inttuence for good, and
God directs us to ask for what
we want. Seek, then, daily grace
for daily need, for “if thou seek
Him, lie will be found of thee,”
and *;as thy day so shall they
strength be.”
Home can never be made hap-
py without good temper, it is
like the flower that spiings up
in our pathway to revive and
cheer us.

A soothing influence is felt by
the whole family wheie there is
a good disposition, and the tem-
per is not easily ruffled. When
the working man returns home
at night, wearied by the toil o
day, ami is inclined to be fretful;
il he is met by the kind /Word,
and the wife is not easily pro-
voked, how soothing and quiet-
ing it is to his spirit 1 It* is like
sunshine falling on his heart,
and lie learns to say, “There is
no pla<;e like home.”
Study each one’s disposition,
and character, and seek to influ-
ence them for good. Watch for
little opportunities of pleasing
them, and show that you arc
anxious lor their spiritual and
temporal welfare. Pray for each
one and sympathize in their sor-
rows, and rejoice in their joys.
You must give an account to
God for your influence, either
for good or evil. Let it be done
all for God, so that in the great
day of account it may appear
that you have not lived in vain,
but acted up to your responsi-
bility.
You can not as a parent exert
an intluence lor good without
gaining the confidence of each
child. Avoid coldness and an-
«• 4
parent neglect, for by so doing,
you will drive your child to
make confidence of those who
will intluence it wrongly. You
will help to shut out the home
peace and happiness from your
child’s life. A Sabbath-school
teacher was trying to impress
upon the mind of an interesting
little girl, between six and seven
years old,'the debt of gratitude
due from her to her heavenly
Father for bestowing upon her
so good and kind a parent, whom
everylK>dy loved; the teacher
was asiouiultMi with the child’s
answer, looking her lull in the
face, with her soft blue eyes,she
replied, “Faruer never speaks
kindly to me.” — titanuard.
