A Bad “Exodus” Outlook.
Courier-Journal.
The Cleveland Leader, which has
been calling upon the Southern negroes
to “flee from the tyranny of their mas-
tere” to the "free North.” prints an in
terview with a Cleveland man who haB
been in Kansas studying the exodus
and its effects. The following little ex
tract is decidedly interesting:
“But few of them have settled per
manently anywhere. They arrive in
one town and the authorities send them
on to the next place. They all get to
St. Louis, and from there the relief com
mittee send them up to Wyandotte.
There is a constant stream of them
pouring in all the time.
“How do they manage to live ?”
“Wholly on charity. They come
with few personal effects. But few ot
them have either money or provisions,
and they look to the citizens for their
support. Some of them have succeed
ed in getting work, but there is not
■ enough to do for them all.
“Well, where will they bring up ?”
“There’s no telling. They strike one
place and the citizens send them on to
get rid of them. The direction is al
ways farther West, and there’s no tell
ing where they will stop. Some of
them are beginning to grumble already
and refuse to go farther. In Lawrence
they have been making their headquar
ters at one of the Kansas and Pacific
railroad depots, but that is full now
and I don’t know what’ll become of
the rest.”
“If they have no money or provi
sions, how do they live ?”
“Many of them go begging about
town. They are in a wretched condi
tion, huddled together in a strange
place like so many sheep.”
“How do the inhabitants feel about
the movement ?"
“They hope it will stop before long.
Judge Usher, the Mayor of Lawrence,
w ™ ' 8 quite a prominent man, is going
to Washington in a short time to see if
something cannot be done.”
“Why don’t they take the land and
till it?’’
“It requires so much work. You
see. a person, in order to make a success
of it, has got to come with money
enough to carry him through the first
year. The first crop never amounts to
anything, hut the second crop is gen
erally good. The prairie sod has got
to be rotted out before the land will
grow either corn or wheat. The pros
pect iB very bright for them, you see.
he Government will have to take the
nmg in hand and help them out. In
a year or so they may manage to get
along well enough.”
That is a purely Republican view,
and it certainly looks bad for the
gfoes. They are going to a country
w lere the people have all the labor
! want to hire, and to convey the
' ea to these negroes that they will get
arms, fenced and staked, out on the
Paines, to be had for the asking, is an
atrocious swindle. As for the Govern
ment having to set these people up in
usiness, we suppose the Republicans
1 try to bring that about by the es-
1 '8hment of another Freedmen’s Bu
reau and bank. They will not be al-
ff ed to do this, however. The Dem
ocrats will block this swindling and
communistic game> andif the Republi .

The Largest Southern Tree.
New York Observer.
The “big tree” iu Washington, Ga.,
is probably the oldest and largest tree
in the Southern States. The town of
Washington has always been the home
of culture and refinement; and Robert
Toombs, Alexander Stephens and other
Georgia celebrities have, from Us bor
ders, passed their names into history.
In visiting various points of interest
round the place, we walked a mile or
so through the beautiful unbroken tor-
est, crossed a valley meadow with its
winding stream, and ascended an emi
nence the footstool of the forest mon
arch. Some distance from the big tree
is a giant brother, which, towering
broad and high above its neighbors,
and concealed at a distance by foliage,
impresses you on its appearance as be
ing the monarch himself; but when
you reach the little knoll, with its open
space, on which stands the compact
mass of bark and timber, and gaze aloft
on the huge limbs, themselves larger
than surrounding trees, you stand be
fore the largest representative of the
vegetable kingdom in the Southern
States. The “big tree,” which is on the
grounds of Mr. Adam Alexander, a
prominent citizen and devoted elder of
the Presbyterian church, is a Tulip-
beating Poplar, (Liviodendron Tulipi-
lera) with a height of 155 feet, a diam
Kter of 9 feet, a circumference of about
28 feet, and its lowest branches are 55
from the ground. Mr. Alexander told
me that one day, while riding, he and
Major Anthony Porter drew up their
nurses Bidewise on the opposite sides of
the tree, and could not, around it, see
even the tips of each others horses
heads or tails.
This grove was God’s first Presbyte
rian temple in Georgia, for about the
year 1790 the South Carolina Presbyte
ry seat delegates, who held a meeting
and ordained Rev. William Springer,
the first Presbyterian pastor in Georgia,
under the branches of this tree. Among
the official members of this open air
Presbytery was Rev. John Brown, D.
D., the first President of Franklin Col
lege, now the University of Georgia.
Dr. Brown and his friend, Dr. Lo
renzo Taylor, of the Baptist church,
were both eminent for their piety; both
were great musicians, Dr. Taylor being
able to play any instrument from an
organ to a Jew’s harp. Being together
on one occasion, Dr. Brown called for
muBic, whereupon Dr. Taylor seized
his fiddle and asked what he would
have. “Well,” replied Dr. Brown, “I
suppose something devotional.” “All
right,” answered Dr. Taylor, striking
up a jig, “I can get jnst as much devo
tion out of a Sootch reel as any other
style of music.”
In the month of July, 1865, the big
tree was struck by lightning, shivering
Logan’s Brother-In-Law.
Louis Republican.
Macon, Mo., April 30.—In regard to
the dispute between Col. Lowe, of Ala
bama, and John A, Logan, United
States Senator from Illinois, I will say
that Gen. Logan had a brother-in-law
who belonged to Capt. Wado’s battery.
Capt. Wade was in the Confederate ser
vice, and was killed in the naval en
gagement at Grand Gulf, Miss., in the
spring of 1863. He was commander of
wnat we called the lower land batteries.
This brother-in-law of Logan, if I re
member right, deserted our army some
where between the battle of Port Gibson
and the beginning of the siege of Vicks-
busg, and during a cessation ot the fight
ing at Vicksburg for the purpose of bury
ing the dead. After the engagement
on the 23d of May, this same man came
over from the Federal lines, had a lively
talk with his old comrades, and told us
tie was staying at Logan's headquarters}
Perhaps some of Capt. Wade’s old com
pany could shed some light on the sub
ject and give the man’s name.

Denver (Col) News.
Two Englishmen recently from Den
ver for a walk to the mountains before
breakfast, an apparently easy task, as
the mountains did not appear more
than a mile or two away. After walk
ing for an hour without seeming to have
made any progress towards the desired
goal one of them became discouraged
and concluded to return for his break
fast : afterwards he took a carriage and
went in Bearch of his friend, whom he
found on tne bank of a small ditch en-
_ l in romoving his boots. His
riend inquired what he intended to do.
He replied, to wade the ditch. His
friend said there was no necessity for
that, aB it was less than three feet across,
and he could easily jump it. “You
can’t tell anything about it in this blars-
ted country,” responded the other, “it
may be 300 feet across.” His morning
walk proved to extend about fifteen
miles before he reached the foot-hills.

erful branches stretch their shade over
the ground of sacred associations; still

flung its glittering corouet.

Congress.
Washington, May 5.—Under a call
of States the following bills were intro
duced and referred: By Ladd, of Maine,
to prohibit military interference at elec
tions. Referred to Committee on Ju
diciary. The following is the text ot
the bill: Whereas the presence of troops
at the polls is contrary to tha spirit of
our institutions and the traditions of
our people, and tend to destroy the free
dom of elections; therefore be it enact
ed, etc., that it shall not be lawful to
bring to or em ploy at any place where
a general or special election is being
held in a State, any part of the army or
navy of the United States unless such
force be necessary to repel armed ene
mies of the United States, or to eniorce
section 4, article 4, of the Constitution
of the United States, and the laws made
in pursuance thereof, on application of
the State where such force is to be used.
And so much of all laws os is inconsis
tent herewith is hereby repealed.

Journalistic Shooter.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 5.—Last ev
ening about eight o’clock Geo. C. Har
ding, editor of the Herald, entered the
residence of Calvin A. Light, editor of
the Democrat, and attempted to shoot
the latter because of certain publica
tion in the Democrat. Light grasped
the pistol, getting his finger under the
hammer, thereby preventing an explo
sion, and held on until assistance came,
when Harding was arrested. He re
mained in custody until an early hour
this morning, when he gave bail. At
twenty minutes after eight o’clock this
morning he entered Light’s office and
fired at him several times, missing
Light, but hitting an employe named
Gerhard Legnio, inflicting a serious
wound. Mr. Harding is now in jail
awaiting the result of that wound. An
other employe of Mr. Light, named
Richard Walders, jumped out of a sec
ond story window during the firing,
breaking both his ankles.

“My friend, the late Capt. Hawley,
brought to me from that wonderland, the
Far West, a very curious Btone. It is
black and perfectly round, as heavy as
iron, and looks exactly like a cannon
ball. It was taken from Cannon Ball
river, a branch of the Upper Mississippi.
This aforesaid stream contains great
quantities of these balls, enough to fight
our battles with for centuries. The geolo
gists ought to be ashamed of their igno
rance, but they haven’t been able to tell
whether these cannon balls were forged
by the water god or the fire god. A
neighbor cf mine informs me that he has
seen some of these balls in the high clay
banks of Red river, in Louisiana, and
that they were from six to eight feet in
diameter. Some of them are formed of
iron pyrites, though generally the balls
are of clay-iron stones.—St. Nicholas for

The Prince and Princess of Wales are
at Sandrigham for Easter with crowds
of titled visitors. All visitors have to
be weighed and enter their names, with
their weight and the dress they wear,
in a book kept for the purpose. The
drawing room is a particularly pretty
room, full o: furniture, and every avail
able corner is filled with a gigautio
flower glasses, full of pampat grass and
evergreens. Here the guests assemble
before dinner. The dining room opens
out of this room. The dining table dec
orations are noted. The bowling alley,
in close proximity to the billiard room
is most popular. The Princess plays
very well, while those who have no
taste that way sit in a little ante-room,
comfortably furnished with long, low
settaes and rooking chairs, from which
they command a good view of the game.
The late Gen. Richard Taylor was a
favored guest at Sandrigham.
