There do not be angry; you know, My dear little cousin Lisette, Yon told mo a moment ago. To paint you a thorough coquette. ♦ " A THRILLING TALE. The town of Cla.vville, situated some thirty miles from the mouth ol the Tom biybco river, is at present greatly excited over the departure of the local colored minister, who recently started down the river on board of a largo and strongly built colored sister. Tho circumstances attending the minister's departure wore peculiar, and their publication may, per haps, aid in tho recovery of the intrepid, though unintentional, voyager. The minister in question was of the colored Baptist persuasion, and was famed throughout the Tombigbse Valley for his skill as a bapti/.er, as well ns for Lis ability as a preacher. There is no doubt that ho was a fearless and con scientious man. Instead of maintaining that politic silence on tho subject of chickons, which many colored ministers insist is absolutely necessary in order to avoid chilling tho fervor of i heir hearers, this particular minister never hesitated to declare that a right of property in chickens existed, and that it should he respected in certain cases, and to a greater or less ex lout, by all honest men, espe cially during tho season when hams arc readily accessible. This bold doctrine, instead of injuring his popularity, actually increased tho respect in which he was held by his congregation, and gave him much prominence among his ministerial brethren. Among the eoh red women ofClayville was otic who hud long desired to submit to the rite of baptism, but who was deterred by a nervous dread of drowning and by a •strong repugnance to the inevitable wet ting which is inseparable from the rite. Scores of times this estimable womarn has determined to be baptized at the next available opportunity, but at the last moment her courage always failed her. In the days prior to emancipation, she had been the slave of a Olayviile planter, and she still retained a warm affection lor the young master whom Hhe had nursed in his infancy. Not very long ago this young man called to sue her, and to him she lamented the lack of courage which shut her out from baptism. Whether he was influenced by genuine kindness, or by a wicked spirit of irreverence, will perhaps never bo known; but the advice which he gave his confiding nurse was the cause of the painful tragedy which followed. The young man professed to be sur prised that the now safety baptismal robe invented, as be alleged, by Rev. Or. Paul Boyton, of Now Ycrk, had not yet been adopted by the colored Baptists of tho South. He said that he had one of these robes in his possession, and that tho wearer would not only he safe against any possibility of drowning, but also against the possibility of getting wet. Moreover, it could be worn underneath the usual white cotton robe, ’ .i hout any danger of detection. Thei . ijo. ; candidal-: : u baptism enthusiastically accepted tho young man’s advic and his offer of the robe, and she immediately sent word to the minister that, she would certainly bo ready for baptism the very next Sunday. There was such a goneral distrust of tho sister’s coitrago that the colored peo -110 all assembled on the bank of tho Tmnbigboo on the next day, confident that her courage would fail, and that she would endeavor to esoapo from the hands of tho minister. Tho particular part of the river selected for ill ceremony was comparatively shallow, but tho current was swift, and a little lower down tho depth was at least tan foot. In fact, the minister, in spite of his skill, had onco lost a convert, who was carried away by the current, and who, on being rescued, promptly went over to tho Methodists. The timid candidate was an unusually large woman, and was certain to tax tho minister’s strength severely, so that there could be little doubt that the ceremony would bo one of unusual interest. The sister arrived at the appointed time, looking even larger than usual, and walking with much difficulty. The min ister took her by tho bond, and she fear lessly descended into the water. All went well until she reached a depth of about (bur feet, when sho suddenly fell upon her hack, and to the astonishment, of the spectators, floated on tho surface of the water. The excitement at this unprece dented event, was tremendous, and the air was filled with enthusiastic shouts. The minister’s face, however, wore a troubled expression. He towed tho un accountably bouyant sister out into deeper water, and attempted to place her on her feet. The attempt proved impracticable, and he then tried to immerse her without changing her position. In spite of all his efforts he could not force her under, and the spectators who witnessed the struggle soon became convinced that she was bewitched. They counseled the minister to exorcise the evil one, by whom she was evidently possessed, with an axe, and volunteered to supply him with heavy weights wherewith to securely sink her. That devoted man, however, refused thoit counsel, and persisted in his effort to im luorse t!i“ sister without, tho aid of weights. Finally he threw his whole weight upon her, and in a moment the current swept the pair beyond their depth. In spite of the danger of his situation tho minister’s check did not blanch. With great presence of mind ho seated hims'lf comfortably upon tho floating sister, and, waving a farewell to his eon gregation, began toning a cheerful hymn. The current steadily carried him on at the rate of at least six miles an hour, and in a short time his weeping congregation was left out of sight and hearing. With out oars nr sails he was unable to navigate the sister to the shore, and there is every rcasnr to suppose that before the next morning ho was far out on the Gulf of Mexico. Captains of vessels navigating the Gulf have been requested to keep a sharp look out for a colored sister in a Boyton life saving dress, carrying a eoloiod minister on her deck. Let us hope that he will soon he picked up. He Gas now been afloat five days without provisions or water, and must he beginning to feel the need of refreshments. Of course, any Captain who may rescue him will not ask for a reward, but if ho tows tho sister into port lie can claim salvage to a large amount, and libel her in the nearest Ad miranty court. —New York Junes. The New York Sun gives the following advice to Democrats: “If tho Democrats hope to cope with tho Republicans, they must tou the mark every time. They should understand that, they are contend ing with the best disciplined party this country ever saw. Whatever tho party may have lost by an abandonment of prin ciple is fully made up, in a popular sense, by audacity itod unscrupulousness. If the Democrats expect to conquer such a foe, they must not yield on any occasion or under any pretext, a single foot of de batable ground. The daring frauds of the last Presidential election, and tho tempo rary success which followed in their tiuin ought to teach them this lesson; as should, in a narrower field of operations, the re j eated swindles of the Republicans of New York concerning an apportionment of the Slate. “In Congress and other legislative bodies a!! Democrats should vote every time they come in conflict with their op ponents, and b® careful to vote right. When they prove by such acts that they aro thoroughly disciplined, they will win the respect of many Republicans, and make tin • st ( ' i.ie party afraid to op counter them “Democrats rnu.R toe the mar.: every time.” IS YOClt XOM UOOU? A Boston lawyer was called on a short time ago by a hoy, who inquired “if he had any waste paper to sell.” The law yer had a crisp keen w.iy of asking ques tions, nud is, moreover, a mothodioal man. Bo pulling out a largo drawer, he exhibited his stock of waste paper. “Will you give two shillings fer it?” 'L’ho boy looked at the paper doubtingly for a moment, and offered fifteen pence, “Done!” s,id tho lawyer, and tho pa per was quickly transferred to tho hag of the hoy, whose eyes sparkled as he lilted tho weighty mass - Not until it was safely stowed away did he announce that l.e had no money. “No money! How do you expect to buy paper without money?” Not prepared to state exactly his plan of operation, the boy made no reply. “Do you oonsidcr your note good?” asked I he lawyer. “Yes sir.” “Very well; if you say your note is good, I’d just as soon have it as the mon ey, but if it isn’t good I don’t want it.” The boy affirmed that ho considered it good, whereupon the lawyer wrote a note for fifteen ponce, which tho boy signed, and, lifting tho bag of papers, trudged off, Boon after dinner tho little fellow re turned, and, producing the money, an nounced that ho had come to pay his note. “Well,” said the lawyer, “this is the first time I ever knew a note to bo taken up tho day it was given. A boy that will do that is entitled to note and money,” and giving him both, he sent him on his way with a smiling lime and a happy heart. The boy’s note represented his honor. A hoy who thus keep* his honor bright, however poor he may he in worldly goods, isan lioir to an inheritance which no riches can buy—tho choice promise of God. THIS CASK I’J.AINI.Y STATED. The following observations of our es teemed cmifemporary, the Baltimore Sun at hi.•ntlis! me no frequently ” ortoil in vnrion.-. quartm - that it be i per to clear up the obscurity from which they emanate: “It is believed by many of the sou:,dost con-tit itional 1;.,'. . in the country and in th" Demo mite party that, nothing short of a constitutional amendment will authorize the Supreme •' kmrt or any other court to try tho title of a President who has boon declared elected and inaugu rated as such to the office which ho holds.” It is all vanity to talk of ever trying such a ease Lofore the Supremo Court. The Constitution does not provide for ro ferring to that court or to any other court tho decision of political questions. No amendment authorizing such a trial could lie carried through now; and probably no such amendment can he carried through at any future time (hid: r the Constitution it is the duty of Congress to count the electoral votes for President and Vice-President; and no new amendment on the subject is neces sary. As regards the election of 1878, Congress has never performed this duty. The reference of it to an unconstitutional tribunal, without any lawful power what ever, was not performing it; and anew reference to the Supreme Court or to a struck jury of the Chief Justices of States would not he performing it. No body hut Congress can perform it. It cannot he delegated or transferred to any subor dinate or collateral authority. It is a duty that lias uot been dune: and if free republican government is to bo maintain ed in this country, its performance cannot long bo postponed. HOW NOT TO GET LOCAL NEWS.
