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. ■ •(.I Wirn L’({lrum lay u,.I? 0 !® "Spaii, ^ 1 fioWK' :if Om Vi 4 It meara;*} jA"’: I* ysi u" ; 1 jftimriStU. mid t)i llScli fur over rt y *®«s8ai SOVUli • ’;»'•* r.wv.iih'lUuWv 'j i Skin 3isDa3e 17 yeas . a sc O'.v.il, j. iHibl.,d will ./.. i0 ’ ® tor-*qc:u<wu y«a rs ‘ w’li 5 . 1 sc Speech of a Spanish Statesman.

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.
