a shroud around him, and took a seat in the
meeting-house door to wait for hie com
panion.
A man on foot, passing along the road
towards the tavern, took him to be a ghost,
and alarmed almost to death, ran as last ns
his feet could carry him to the tavern,
which he reached out of breath. As smut
a> he could speak, he declared that he had
seen a ghost robed in white, sitting in the
church door. Nobody would believe his
story, bul incredulous as they were no one
could be lound that hud courage enough to
B°'
At length a man who was so afflicted
with the rheumatism that he could scarcely
walk, declared he would go if the man
would carry him there, lie at once agreed,
t >ok him on his back, and off they went.
Wheu they got in sight, sure enough it was
as he said ! Wishing to satisfy themselves
well, and get as near a view as possible of
his ghost-ship in the dimlight, they kept
venturing nearer and nearer.
The man with the shroud around him
took them to be his companion with a sheep
on his back, and asked iu a low tone of
voice—
‘ls he fat ?’
Meeting with no reply, he repeated the
question, raising his voice higher.
‘ls he fat?’
Still no reply.
Then, in a vehement tone he called :
‘ls he fat ?’
This was enough. Tbe man with the
other on his back replied—
‘Fat or lean, you may have him.’
And dropping the invalid, he traveled
back to the tavern as fast as his feet would
carry him. But he had scarcely arrived
there, when along came the invalid on loot,
too!
The sudden fright had lured him of
rheumatism ; and from that time forward
he was a cured man.
Outrages at the South—Who are Res
ponsible !—At the great Boston Democratic
tneetiDg. on Thursday, John Quincy Adams,
in an eloquent speech on the position of
parties, referred to the outcry got up every
year about outrages at the South to influ
ence party prejudices at the North. It is
mostly false ; but supposing it true, what
then ?
What does it prove? Only this, that if
you will vi late the law of free governmeut,
you must take the qonsequeuces. If you
will trample on men’s pride and sentiment
yes or even on the cherished prdjudices,
so say nothing of their rights—you may look
for “outrages.” Why, gentlemen. I have
read of these outrages in history before
now; and where do you think they occur?
Why, Ireland has been famous for “out
rages” for centuries. Poland has been a
land of outrages. Hungary wa- for vety
many years a very nest aud hot bed of out
rages, and indeed site became so outrageous
that Austria had finally to find a cure. And
she found one, my friends, a perfect cure,
not on “outrage” now to be heard of. And
what was it? Why, she restored to Hun
gary her constitutional rights; that is till.
And as soon as we restore to the South her
lights under the Constitution we shall hear
no more of “outrages.”
No wonder there are outrages. I won
der there are not more. I am sure wa
should not be ns quiet if the cases were
reversed. I know we were not at a 1 quiet
one hundred years ago when it was tried
here. I fear if you should put the Asiatics
to rule over us, as we have put the African
to rub. over them, there would be some trifl
ing outrages going on. But there is very
little'need of polit cal violence down there,
though certainly there are s *me “outrages ”
I know' of one myself; a plain, manifest,
flagrant, intolerable outrage upon free gov
ernment arid constitutional law, and that is
“reconstruction” irself.
General Lee was a plain, unassuming
man. “The sword of Lee” never flashed to
any great extent, through Father Ryan’s
rhymes indicate to the contrary. A chap
lain relates in the Cincinnati Commercial,
that at one time during the seven days'
battle around Richmond, the great Confed
era e, wearing a plain suit of gr*v with the
stars of a colonel, was quietly sitting under
a tree, the approaching shades of evening
concealing even his stats, when an impetu
ous surgeon galloped up and abruptly said,
“Old man, I have chosen that tree for my
hospital, and I want you to get ou r of the
way.” “I will cheerfully give place when
t te wounded come, doctor, but. in the mean*
time, there is plenty of room for both of
us,” wa6 the m-‘ek rejoinder. The irate
surgeon was about to make s >me harsh re
ply, when, to his utter consternation, a
staff officer rode up and addressed his “Old
mao” as Genera! Lee. To his profuse
apologies and explanations the General
quietly replied, *Tt i« no matter, doctor,
there is plenty of room fur both of us until
our wounded are brought in.”

Dr Dokimus, of New York city, has pre
pared h trew plan by which the dael can be
made perfectly fair to both parties, and at
the same t me yield a pleasurable < »version
to the hostile principals for a number of
minutes. His plan is that, instead ot meet
ing with pistols and a surgeon some raw
morning. In a lonely field, the two injured
parties simply repair to a comfortable
room, with two ounces of corrosive subli
mate, a pack of cards, and a stomach-pump.
AM being ready each man swallows an
ounce of the poison ; then they sit down and
play “seven up" for the stomach-pump.
The winner is saved ; the loser gracefully
yields his breath ; both are satisfied, all is
lair and the public morals are preserved.
A ctTßiocs trial comes off before Squire
Bell, of Prairie Township, to-day. It seems
that Mr Gain and bis son dug and piled up
several bushels of potatoes one day last
week They then left them over night in
the field, and in the morning found near
one of the piles a pocket book containing a
breast-pin bearing the initials of the wife
of a Mr. Davis, and on measuring the pota
tos several bushels were missing. Cain
took the breast-pin to Mrs. Davis, she
claiming it as her own, stating that she had
lent it to a neighbor. Cain refused to give
up the pin until he had investigated the
subject of the missing potatoes. The result
is a law suit brought by Davis to recover
possession of the pin.— Xeieeastle Courier.
Some umbrageous traitor without the fear
of the Union League before his eyes, has
turned the statue of Linooln on Union
Square around, so the cheap contrivanr*
intended to hand down to posterity the fair
form of the martyr President, looks no more
into the window of the Chinese doctor, or
into the restaurant olose by. as if for cold
vituals, but over to see what Washington is
doing. If he had looked more to the Father
of his Country when in life, this were o
happier country than now. But who gave
the statue this last twist, and now, anil
why ? Did the Chinese physic man object,
or was he tired of gaxirig southward over
the ruins his party left to mark their war
for spoons, cotton, niggers, and places for
car pet-bag criminals? Pomeroy' n Democrat.

rice will amount this yoar to about 80.000

isiana crops will turn out 75,00* barrels,
against 1000,000 last year This will
make the aggregate crop of the United

prices must still further decline seems to
be the general opinion, in view of a pros

in Germany and France, leaving England
as the only undisturbed market for the
surplus crop, which promises to be much
larger and superior quality than of last

The Radical press of the country has
been assiduously engaged for some time in
reporting Chief Justice Chase as failing in
health and dimmed to soeedy death. The
wish has been undoubtedly father to the
thought. Radicalism wants his place filled
by someone willing to prostitute the posi
tion to Radical u»es. The better public
will be glad to learn that the Chief Justice’s
health :s so improved that he will resume
his seat shortly on the bench.
