MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Wealthy Missouri Farmer Shot Dead
in Bed.
Mexico, Mo, Nov. 20.—Great ex
citement prevails here over tho myste
rious murder, at an early hour Sunday
onies, a sort of United States in Austra
lia. though most of the colonies prob
ably will not exactly regard it, and En
gland has not the faintest suspicion of
its meaning.
The proposal has come about through
the advice of the military commissioner
whom England sent to assist the Aus
tralians to a common scheme of National
defence. He reported in favor of a fed
eral Australian army and Sir Henry
Parkes, who is a federalist, but not an
imperial federalist, at heart, has seized
the opportunity ami boldly tells the
colonies that the time has coma for a
grand federation, not only for military
protection, but for all the uses that are
implied by the term. On the reception
which Australia gives to the invitation
will depend in a great measure the fu
ture of * that counrry. The time seems
ripe for some such movement but it is
more probable that the change will not
come by violent or sudden means, but
rather by gradual steps.
The comments of the English papers
on the matter are somewhat amusing.
English editors and English politicians
ns a rule know less, if it is possible,
abo::t Australia than abont the United
States. As usual English editors do not
appreciate the significance of this new
utterance from antipodean colonies,
never dreaming that Sir Henry Parkes,
whom they oail an “Imperial Federal
ist, ” means to separate Australia from
England, and to follow the lead of the
United States. Nor will England real- j
ize tho true condition of affairs in Aua- !
tralia until the note of independence
has been irresistibly sounded.

references to the public, which he said
was infallible. He dwelt upon the
greatness of sublime faith in an ideal.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
His weakness is so great that ha is
unable to lift his arm or to turn over on
the bed. His only food is beef tea, and
this he takes by the teaspoonful. He
suffers somewhat from nausea, and it is
feared that his stomach, also, is failing
him, which will prove dangerous in
his present low condition.
Mrs. Davis still takes a favorable
view of ber husband’s condition, and
calls astention to the tact that she has
nursed him through many similar at
tacks. The unfavorable circumstances
are his age and his preseut groat weak
ness. For nearly a year past friends
who have seen him at Beauvoir have
recognized the :a«;fc that hi3 health was
failing, and that old age was beginning
to tell on him.
