Trying to Wash Their Bloody i
Hands.
Jo3rfih Holt, tho Judge Advocate of
tbc packed court that murdered poor
3Jr J - Surratt, is atill explaining, or trying
to explain hi* connection with that infa-
I*e. Ifi* conscience seems to give him
r." respite. Recently—as we have already
noted—under its stings or tho goading
phantom 6f the murdered woman, he
WTO’** a loag letter to the Washington
Chronicle, denying the statement that he
hod purposely kept back from Andrew
Johnson the recommendation to mercy
mode by a majority of the members of
the court "in her behalf, and laying all the
Maine upon Johnson.
Now he b*»s written another letter to
the Tribune, denying the charge of load
in'* her with heavy chains day and night,
ami otherwise torturing her during the
entire two months of her imprisonment
*n«l trial, made by a Tribune correspond
ent at Washington. He appeals to Gov.
Hartrnnft, of Pennsylvania, who was the
Marshal of tho court, to sustain him, and
exhibits as much anxiety to clear himself
of the second as the first accusation.
We nee, too, that Andrew Johnson in
tends going to Washington soon, to search
the record* for the purpose of clearing
hi* skirt* of Holt's charge, that he
(Johnson) did have the recommendation
to mercy before him, and that ho signed
Mr*. Surratt’s death warrant in the face
of it. ,
Such a washing or attempting to wash
Moo ly hand* lias not been known since
the tlay* of Lady Macbeth. Both these
nu n five years ago would havo scorned
to notioc any reflection upon their con
duct in <onnection with this matter. In
the natumaliii of passion undo hat that
fallowed tho close of the civil war and the
execution of the conspirators, they
muotb jred conscience and defied whatever
public opinion there was that condemned
the brutal, bloody part both played in the
drama. They held themselves above and
licyond question or criticism, and fondly
ruagintnl the day would never come when
it would be otherwise. But it appears
that day has come, and both arc quaking
aud shivering with dread of public odium—
each endeavoring to shift the burden upon
theother's *houldcr*,and I lol t, in rcspoct to
the charge of manacling Mrs. Surratt,
actually r«*Hponding over hi* own signa
ture to an anonymous writer!
Ah ? how different 1873 from the evil
years that followed 1866! Then it was a
feather in their or any loyl man** cap to
have played the smallest part in tho trage
dy that hod its black culmination in the
murder of a poor helpless woman—con
science slept under the narcotic of official
promotion and the plaudits of a blood
thirsty people. It is indeed a gratifying
sign 1.1 see these men endeavoring to fit the
Xcasus shirt upon each other. It proves that
there are sneh things as retribution and
conscience, and that under the lashings of
one. and the threats of the other, the truth
of histor ♦* may yet come to bo vindicated,
and justice done the memory of one whoso
life was remorsely sacrificed to the mob
howl for blood. It proves another thing,
too: That both these men feel that pub
lic sentiment in regard to this transaction
ha* shift.»d it* ground nearer to the plane
of humanity aud Christian civilization and
charity, and that it does, and will hold
them to a stricter judgment every day
until they make such atonement as may
be in their power.
Lawyers and Boctors* Fees and
Fortunes in England.
Referring to tho foci that tho late ex-
Lord-Chancellor, of England, Lord West-
berry, left an estate in personal property
valued nt $1,600,000, the World says tho
incomes of the great lawyer* of England
have boon greatly exaggerated. For
.;ome years after tho railway fever broke
©ut Sergeant Wrangluim, Mr. Austin,
Mr. Hopo-Seott, and the Hon. John Tal
bot, averaged for some years from £15,-
000 to £25,000 a year at the Parliamen
tary Bar; but these were quite excep
tional profits, and it is bel ved that the
largest income ever wade at common law
or chancery was that of Sir James Scar
lett, afterward* Lord Abinger—£22,000.
It lum often been mooted whether the
physicians beat the lawyers, and there is
a disposition to think that they do. Sir
Charles Locock, aeconeher to the Queen,
is reported to have once returned his in
come tax at £30,000. but his is the most
lucrative branch of the profe*sion, royalty
ami grandees often giving a splendid fee
in the gladness of their hearts at the
birth of a first born or son and heir. Sir
Astley Cooper is said to have received the
largest fee on record in the profession—
! ,000 guineas, thrown to him out of a
wludow in a night-<»l>. a» he wa* leaving
•the house, by a patient who was in a par-
nmtn of grateful delight after anoeeas-
ful lithotomy.
The LaroBST Sjll* or Short Horn
Cims Ever Map*.—The most remark
able sale of short-horn cattle ever made
took place at Utica, X. Y., on Wedncs«lay.
One hundred ami eleven head of cattle,
comprising the celobratavi N, m Y A Mills
herd, the property of the Hon. Samuel
Campbell, wore sold at auction for an ag-
• -•i Of ' .vve. The Eighth
Dacheis of Geneva brought the startling
|wkw of $4A,OOA The Tenth Duchess of
Geneva sold for $35,000, and $30,600 was
given for the First Duchess of Oneida.
The average prioe paid for ten of the
Duchess tribe was $21,710 each. This
herd was bey end question the most valua-
able ever got together, and its sale at
tracted fancy stock-breeders from every
part of this country as wall as from Eu
rope. The three highest prices were paid
by Englishmen.

It in a source of real congratulation to
oar citizen* that the free school system
of Georgia, hitherto a miserable failure,
under the able administration of State
Commissioner Orr, is already esteemed a
*rut fifty very great blessing.
In this county especially, through tho
indefatigable labors, experience and tact
of Mr. B. M. Zettler, backed by the in
telligent Board of Education, the prog
ress has l*ecn most satisfactory and 6ub-
^hgeiilboasa- Hul,;, b- n tia!. The great‘want at present
ertion. a* br ; Is nn adequate mpnber of properly con-
ot country it strutted ochoolhouscs. Measures havo
j already been taken to supply this de
ficiency, and in time it will be
remedied
to erect one commodious edifice, which
will be an ornament to Macon, and thig
is to be speedily followed by others.
Just now, with the exception of the ad
mirable building kindly furnished by tho
Central Railroad Company,and the hand
some colored foundation, known as tho
Lewi* High School, the board is forced
to extemporize such accommodations os
can be procured, without much regard
to convenience- or eligibility.
From the excellent Superintendent,
Mr. Zettler, we have most encouraging
report* as to the condition of the-schools.
About four hundred and fifty whites and
the same number of colored pupil* ore in
attendance, under the training of compe
tent teachers, male and female, of the
highest respectability, ’These are rigidly
graded into classes and departments,.
based upon age and previous acquire
ments, bo that all tho time of an instruc
tor is devoted to each class, ensuring a
much greater degree of attention and
more thoroughness.
Tho pupils, as they present themselves,
are registered by the Superintent and ex
amined, before being assigned to their
proper departments. The greatest method
obtain* everywhere, and order and pro
priety ore enforced by % m : ’d, but salutary
and indexible course of discipline.
Already* is the idea giving way that
these common schools are merely collec
tions of the children of tho rabble, where
vice predominates and contamination
mus result to the virtuous. In this
world we encounter hourly men of
every stamp, and liavc necessary inter
course with them. To avoid the igno
rant and depraved, we should have to
seek another sphere, where sin and ita
consequences has never entered. But
society is graded too, and <livided by in
surmountable social barriers. Under tho
operation of this law, those of rejipectable
origin, and who are properly trained at
home, naturally associate together. Who
does not know that in our first colleges tho
low and dissolute always affiliate? and
character, not birth, is the standard of
worth and merit? Indeed, under tho
guidance of vigilant instructors, this
mixed feature of society in our colleges,
causing them to be the purest of Republics,
is regarded a* exceedingly beuefieol by
judicious parent*, os there every tub
must stand on it* own bottom, and ad
ventitious circumstances of wealth and
casto havo but little influence.
Wo see that in all schools bad pupil*
will be found, and usually the number
is greatest among the spoiled and idle
children of tho wealthy. The influence
for evil of this class is far greater than
among the huiuhle and low bom. To
preserve the child from danger then, ho
must be secluded entirely aud educated
at homo. But experience has shown
that even this course doe* not shield him
from harm in after year*. Like a but
terfly he emerges into society and essay
ing to sip all it* enticing sweete, without
any previous training, or knowledge drinks
ere he is aware, to satiety and intoxica
tion. Or ignorant of the way* of men
and the tyrant of his own circle, he has
to learn many rough and salutary lesson*
in his rudo contact with the world.
The writer can never forget the bloody
fight* and sad experience for long months
at college, of one of these sprig* of tho
nobility, who had been educated by a tu
tor at homo in tho society of sister* only,
and had to learn to find hi* level at last.
But the fact is beyond question that in
tho elevating atmosphere of tho school
room, and under tho protecting care of a
judicious and strong master mind, tho
tendency of tho poor children of adversity
is rapidly upxmrJ. Wo are glad to learn,
from Mr. Zettler, that tho offspring of
some of our most respectable citizen*
havo entered hi* schools. The course of
instruction embrace* nine year*, seven of
which are devoted to the acquisition of a
good English education. Pupils then en
ter the high school, and at tho end of fwo
additional year*, are prepared to join the
Freshman cla*3 in Mercer University, or
the Sophomore in Wesleyan Female Col-
lege.
Wo trust all classes of the community
will unite to mike these schools here, as
in Savannah and at the North, the very
best in the land.
Bad Yews lYoni the West.
Our telegrams this morning bring bad
news from Memphis, and still worse from
Shreveport. From the latter place GOO
cases of yellow fever are reported, which
is a very bad showing indeed, and now
from Memphis oomes with startling trad-
denne * the news that “yellow Jack”
has put in an appearance there, and that
there were fourteen deaths on Sunday.
This is the first intimation we have hail
that tho fever had made its appearance
on the Mississippi, but wc are likely to
hear similar reports from other cities on
that river. We hardly see how it is pos
sible for New Orleans, Natchez. Vicks
burg and other cities to escape the
scourge. The situation at Shreveport is
deplorable indeed, and calls loudly for
tho moot active and earnest effort* and
sympathy for the relief of her afflicted
people. Already all business ho.-, been
THE GEORGIA PRESS.„
Thhe editor of the Washington Ga
zette has had “ the shakes,” and now
presents a pitiable appearance. He has
lost his hair, hi* complexion is that of a
ripe pumpkin, and the blossom* on his
nose are all gone. Wc know we would
never recognize him after the latter
change.
The Gazette says:
Hiatt Storm.—On last Sunday a
storm ]xu*--d over the north*, ra portion
of Wilkes county which did an immense
amount of damage to the cotton crop.
The fftaon extended from seven miles
nortn of Washington to Brood river.
How much further north it may have
gone was not learned- ’There was little
wind, no hail, but a perfect deluge of
fhe city authorities are abont
beaten out and ruined. Accounts from
tho section of the county over which the
storm passed states that it was the
heaviest rain fall of the year. * As a large
amount of cotton was open and ready for
picking, the damage must hare been very
heavy. v ..
The Constitutionalist says a negro boy
named Frank Griggs,bailing from Macon,
waa arrested in that city on Saturday, at
the request of Policeman Grace, of this
city, charged with stealing $21 from his
mother. He hod only one dollar in cash
when arrested.
The Norcro** Courier has the folkiw-
ing:
If Georgia desires to educate her whole
people she had best contribute every
spare dollar for the next ten years to tho
enlargement of the State University.
She'needs a Normal University, to which
tho young men and women of the State
can go and become educated themselves
and thereby become competent to teach
others. She needs a free normal univer
sity, and the thousand* now wasted upon
incompetent obi fogy teachers would in
ten year* give her one of the best. This
done, Georgia can begin to educate her
whole people and imitate Prussia. Until
this is done, or some mean* provided for
the education of teachers, all attempt* at
universal education will prove abortive.
Wc see no sense in longer petting an in
efficient school system. It is a failure
and the people know it, and we may save
tho money. •
The Sparta Times and Planter says the
cotton crop of Hancock county will ,bo
cut very short this season by caterpillar
and rust. One farmer report! a falling
off in his expectations of forty bales from
seventy-five that he confidently cx|>ected
to make. Apropos to this report, we no
tice that Hancock county this year planted
33,000 acres in cotton to 26,765 in corn.
A touno ladt of Brunswick called at
the postofficc there a few days since for
the letter addressed to the “handsomest
lady in town,” but tho P. M. put on his
specs and after a good look declined to let
her have it.
The Washington Gazette apparently
is not favorable to camp meetings of the
colored style. It says a very violent one
has broken out near there, and that tho
“ chicken crop which was very promising
has suffered worse than a Southwest
Georgia cotton field from the caterpillar,
and we don’t think one-tenth of a crop
will bo realized. In two weeks from this
time tho uncultivated crow of the youth
ful cock will Iw unknown throughout all
this land, and the old hens will mourn
for their lost pullets os those mourn who
are without hope.”
We find this in the Constitutionalist of
Sunday:

anecdote about Mr. Stephens which Gen.
Gordon tells with much unction. Gor
don had it from President Grant at Wash
ington. “ When tho three commission

Grant, *• Mr. Stephens came swaddled up

was disrobing, and observed: “Grant,

Tin: same paper has on editorial head
ed “ Wanted—A Good Hotel,” in which,
after drawing a very “ odorous” compar
ison between Charleston and Savannah,
an*’ ’ts own city, in the matter of hotel.-. it
adds:
Within a few days past, we liave heard
complaints from strangers, who are by no
means disposed to be captious, of the
wretched character of our hotels. They
como here with apprehension of what is
in store for them; they ttay hero no longer
than they can possibly help; they leave
us in disgust, ani cannot avoid giving an
unsavory name to the place. Tfii* is not
only true of person* from abroad, but of
person* bring in Georgia and South Caro
lina. The outcry is universal, and the
accusation so palpable that no defense can
be brought to bear against these prejudi
ces of sojourners in our midst.
The Johnson Reporter say* “malira”—
which may bo the local way of spelling
malaria—is causing much sickness in
that section. Also that a “Baptis” meet
ing is going on in tho lower part of Wash
ington county.
Of the prospects of that section the
Reporter writes in tho following glowing
terms:
From all appearance* our people are
looking forward this season, for a brighter
day to dawn upon them. The day so
long looked for, when prosperity with its
effulgent brightness shall burst forth mid
relieve them from the shackles with which •
they havo so long been boned. I do not
mean political shackles but from such pe
cuniary embarrassment that hare so long
held progress in check, thereby prevent
ing the development of our resource*
which otherwise might of been done.
Our Farmers appear to bo buoyant,
rejoicing over the fruits of their la
bors, and bounties with which a kind
providence ha* blessed them, and
looking forward to the time when their
crops snail be safely garnered, and they
having -realized a good, remunerative
price for their produce. Tho merchants
also meet us with pltxisant smiles hoping
this fall to be able to get the remainder
of that “balance dr.e” from last year.
The physicians also with redoubled en
ergy, pres* forward in high spirits and
happy expectation. The mechanics also
have not failed to discover the bright
prospects before them. Lastly comes the
poor lawyer, and with an anxious gaze
broken up there, and now if her neigh- j view for and near the great arena of

of this place, have not been altogether, as
agreeable a* it should be, and f as is gen
erally the case, result. *d in a separation
of the parties and action for a divorce
taken on the part of Mr*. W. They had
a child several months old, which the
father swore he would have at all haz
ards. It was known that Mr*. Woodson
and her mother, Mra. Christian, intended
leaving the city last Thursday night, so
Mr. W. thought he would make an at
tempt to rescue the child from the moth
er, consequently about nine o’clock in
the evening he entered the house.of Mrs.
Christian through a window and took
the infant from the crook in which it
•was slveping. the family being in an ad
joining room. The mother’s attention
waa attracted to the room by the noise
made, but the father was too .quick for
her and he escaped with the child. This
caused considerable excitement in the
household, and immediately the mother
gave the alarm and ran in pursuit of her
child. Policemen were sent for and put
on the trail. After a faithful search on
the part of the police, the child was found
about 11 o’clock, At had been left at the
house of a citizen who met the police and
told them where the child was. The
precious cherub was returned to the
rx>som of it* fond mother.
Lost the Compass.—Our very clever
and accommodating Ordinary, who has
been living in the city for the last twenty
years, having some business to transact
at the depot Thursday morning, left his
office for that point. Having proceeded
some distance, he became &a£*fied that
he had token the wrong direction, and
began to survey the field of hi* where
abouts. In his perambulations, he met a
friend from Lee county, about five miles
from Americus, and solicited his services
to pilot him lack to the city. We did
not learn whether he succeeded in getting
to the depot or not. The last we heard
of him he was snugly seated in an easy
ehair in his office, inquiring of every one
who entered, how far is it to the S. W.
depot We can only account for this by
close application to business.
How the Negro Commissioner
of Emigration Proposes to
Crush Out the Mississippi
Democrats.
Hi* name is Griggs anil he made a
speech at Vicksburg the other day in
which he very frankly developed the
Shoeknasty programme to “crush out”
the Democratic hopes of carrying the
Legislature. He said:
Some of the eastern counties were
doubtful and some were Democratic, and
ho understood the Democrats were going
to carry the Legislature, and to that end
they would bend all their energies. He,
Col. Griggs, held a very prominent posi
tion as Commissioner of Immigration,
and he thought the future prosperity of
the State depended upon him ! The Dem
ocrats expect to carry the Legislature,
but if he could get the necessary appro
priation he thought he could fill the east
ern part of the State with good Republi
can voters, imported through the medium
of his offioe, and forever crush out the
hopes of the Democrats. He was going
Butler ancl Grant “ Moral Al
lies.”
George Alfred Townsend went up to
Worcester to see Butler slaughtered and
after that job was finished paid a visit to
Samuel Bowles, at Springfield, whom he
interviewed, of course. Bowles is editor
of tho Republican which is a power in
Massachusetts. Townsend makes a re
port of the talk to the Chicago Tribune,
and here is an extract:
“Does Grant show anl sagacity^in
trusting him f^ A f f ‘
He shows Gnuii-sugacity, every-
}>ody knows what that is. The moment
"Butler has any absolute power which he
can hold independent of Grant’s organi
zation and patronage, he will torn upon
him and lead the personal opposition. If
ho hn.* any dislike greater than another,
it is to Grant. But it ought to be com
pensation enough to his vanity, and even
to his hate, to sec how supinely the ad
ministration defers to him; the advertis
ing and the cartoon organs, the magiste
rial household, the Cabinet and the
patronage,are alibis. The fact^is, Butler
and Grant are moral allies. Bat person
ally therein on Grant's part Constraint,
and on Butler’s advantage, in their appa
rent co-operation. The fact is, that But
ler represents in a gross form the great
common instinct for revolution. In our
present condition, we present in the North
—and in Massachusetts no less—two great
feature*, prosperity and demoralization.
Parallel with oommerriApnd political un
scrupulousness, there moves a spirit of
mischief amongst the minority and the
poor, which, if it expressed itself, would
say: fButler is a change, of some kind,
:ind change i3 what wo want'.’ The office
holders want him for his exemplary dis
honesty; other* because he will break
the despotism of organization. In his
person the enemies of society expect to
attain a worse change, instead of the bet
ter change we offered all Conservatism
la3t year,”
“Has Butler any supporters amongst
your Republican notabilities ¥*
No. They have all abandoned him
this year. Wendell Phillips, Dr. Loring
—who is one of\ tho; worst influences iu
this State—and/ it appears, even Bout-
well. He has had the support of Grant
and the Cabinet, and tho Federal con-
st&bulary, without notable exception.
Tlio temperance press hero is wholly
arrayed against him—even the Boston
Post, which gave him a certain kind of
news columns support last time—except
ing the Traveller, an afternoon paper of
Boston. It is barely probable that what
Butler’s success might havo precipitated
will be accomplished by his failure, and
the :v<Un ini at ration be repudiated and re
buked by the moire obsequious men and
press of the regular party. Everything
show* that the party and Grant are
coining to an end together. HU third
term, as well as his political fame, are in
diminishing perspective.
Arc the Americans Colonizing:
Paris?
Corrcsjiomleiico Baltimore American.]
Tho people of Paris are astounded at
,the_ American invasion. They have not
to try to import all the Republican voters only filled up all the hotels, but tho
into the State that he possibly could.
“ You have got more politicians in this
county than I ever saw anywhere else,”
said the accomplished Griggs. I meet
one at every lamp post. You should
work for the Legislature ! It is the most
importr>ntest office in the State.” CoL
Griggs “ wa3 no speaker, but a wheel
horse when you put him in the trace*,”
He got his office—he wanted that dUtintly
understood—by skillful wire wording. It
Was hi* opinion that “ Gen. Ames »us go
ing to be elected Governcr by acclama
tion.” Griggs knew what w *a what. He
hail been at Jackson for two years and
thought he understood “ lii* business as
a legislature.” Some question had
“ arUed” when he got hi* ofHoe, but he
“ was too sharp.” Ho meant to have an
agent at New York and flood the Shite
with Republicans. “ Them was tho sort
of immigrants” he wanted.
And the proportj owner* of Mississippi
have to pay tbU black scoundrel a salary
for thus using his office and their money
to swindle them at the ballot box. This is
one of the little matter* that breeds what
our loving brothers of yankeedom call “ a
disaffected spirit” among the rebels
which is very naughty indeed. It almost
makes us weep.
The American Tichbornc.
The Tichbornc ease, which has been
dragging its slow length along so many
months in the English courts, and
which has wearied out so many juries and
and advocates, has at Inst found a parallel
in thi3 country in a case which bills fair
to excite an equal degree of interest, and
to consume a* much time aud money and
patience. The amount of money involved
in tho litigation is $M).im»,00O, or real es
tate valued at that amount, which is
much greater t’uui the value of the prop
erty to which Arthur Orton originally
claimed to lx? heir, aud which lmsbrought
upon him the present trial for perjury
and forgery.
The name of the Am Tiean claimant is
James Turnbull, and be has brought suit
in the Pennsylvania courts for the recov
ery of 4,000 acre* of cool lands at or near
Mauch Chunk, valued at $K»,000,00(».
Hi* father died forty year* ago in a hos
pital after a life of ffii^pntion, during
which, it is stated, the^; lands passed
into other hands by tax parenaser * At
the age of sixteen, the son left Philadel
phia on a sea voyage and was wrecked.
He was picket! up near the Island of St.
Thomas, and after his recovery from the
effects of exposure he went to Central
America and worked on the Isthmus of
Panama, until the California gold stories
attracted him to that region. He made
several fortune* in California, which he
lost at the gaming-table, and, becoming
tired of this kind of life, went to Mexico
and thence to Texas, where his eccentric
ities in the cattle business created a pop
ular prejudice against him.
He then started a^ain for Mexico, and
on the way to MazutLan narrowly escaped
death by the explosion of the steamerne
was on. During his short stay at Mazat-
lan, he was robbed by a gang of Mexi
cans and left for dead, with twelve dag
ger wounds in his body. Recovering
from these, he went to the Peru silver
mines, and bought a piece of land said to
have silver deposit*. Failing to find
them, he sold oat to another party, who
found the silver almost immediately.
He then went to Chili and worked under
Meiggs, the railroad contractor, and was
in a fair way to accumulate a handsome
fortune, whei his roving, reckless dispo-
tition induced him to go to Brazil, and try
to get the superintendency of a diamond
mine. Failing in this, he wandered
through South America for several years,
and finally turned up in Mexico again.
boarding houses on Boulevard Haussman
are thronged with them. Those who
come to stay over a month or two invaria
bly abandon tho hotels and take to tho
boarding-houses, where they can live
much more comfortably and fare better

per day, including finely furnished cham
bers and the use of the parlors, pianos,
etc.,, with wine at dejeuner and dinner.
Mftiiy American families are located here
permanently, finding the cost of living
much cheaper than at home. For three
chambers and a private parlor at Mad
am Feron*8, No. Ill Rue Neuve des
Matturine, we pay thirty-six francs
per day, which embraces everything,
including the very pleasant American
company which is usually to be found at
these houses. The table is good and the at
tendance excellent, and wo have no doubt
that for a prolonged stay much lower rates
could bo obtained. The papera are filled
withjulvertiseinents of rooms and apart
ment* to be let to Americans, and every
one, even the servants, are finding the
importance of speaking English. All the
stores are providing themselves with
speaking clerks. Colored nurses with
American children in charge are quite
common all over Paris, and the American
citizen of African descent walks up and
down the lxmlevards with his yellow kids
and ivory-headed whale-bone under his
arm without being any longer an object
of curiosity. American dress-makers are
invading the precinct* of the famous
Worth, and Rave their establishments on
liue Seville and Boulevard Haussmann,
thronged with customers. The American
dub room, the American cafe, and a
number of fancy goods establishments
have been recently started by Americans,
and four American newspapers are pub
lished in Paris! The American flag is to
}»e seen in various sections of the city,
and the carriage drivers, as well as tho
store keeper*, are reaping a rich harvest.
The number of American ladies here is
unprecedented; and there is no city in
Europe in which they love to linger as
they do in Paris. They all want to stay
until the equinoctial storm is over, never
admitting that the desire for delay is to
give time to the dressmaker* to provide
them with a more elaborate toilet. We
heard ;ui old widower, with a young and
blooming wife, 03 "he scanned’ a 8,000
franc lace bill, say to hi* bride: “ My
dear, do you desire all this finery to
charm the eye of your husband, or is it
to excite the envy of your friends ?”
“ Well/’ she replied, “ I expect the last is
tho strongest motive.”

There was some very severe reproof in
ex-Governor Bullock's address at Worces
ter—all the. more severe because it was
couched in such moderate language.
Nothing could have been more courteous
than ftis allusions to the President, noth
ing more cordial than his tributes to the
Republican p.irty; yet when he spoke of
“the scandalous irregularities and im
moralities” which liave pprung up in the
public, service, uf lh-st denied, next
connived at. and afterwards con
doned under the-“pressure of impend
ing - elections,” everybody knew what
he meant and was a little startled at
his temerity. Mr. Bullock is not a sen
sationalist. He'represents the quiet, re
spectable, well balanced loyalty of the
old Bay State, and when be ventures to
rebuke the mis© ndact of, his own'party
we may be assured of a deep* seated and
general dissatisfaction. Probably it was
not the financial irregularities of certain

Relief for Shreveport Free by Tele
graph.
Senator West, of Louisiana, who is
now in Washington, in order to secure
the application of immediate relief to the
sufferers, has obtained from President
Orton, of the Western Union Telegraph
Company the following order, addressed
to the superintendents of the company
throughout the country: “ Instruct all
the managers to send free messages re
lating to the relief of the citizens of
Shreveport, and at tho request of the
Governor or United States Senators of
Louisiana, direct contributions of money
to bo received and transferred by tele
graph without charge.” By this action
on the part of the telegraph company,
money can be forwarded*!nstantly to the
sufferers, whereas, by the course of tlio
mail, it would require some ten days to
get there, by which time the needy
might be past relief.
Any one feeling inclined to contribute
something to the aid of the stricken com
munity of Shreveport, can send it without
expense by paying it at any Western
Union telegraph station. Contributions
are already going forward from this point
this morning. Senator West in the course
of a few hours collected five hundred dol
lars and sent it off by telegraph.

the accounts of affairs given recently in
letters in the Louisville Courier-Journal
are much exaggerated and that the trou
bles will be stopped by due course of law.
One prominent lawyer stated that he
had no doubt there was a large organi
zation of Kuklux, but that many of them
were respectable citizens who had no
symnathy with the maurauders; that
withm ten days a full disclosure would
be made of the Order, and those who
have repented of their connection .with it
would assist in suppressing it. The idea
of marshal Law is not believed by any.
Ono well known lawyer of Owen county, \
asserted -that there was no established <
Order, and that the offenders were merely
common thieves and murderers.

How Coville’s Boy Fixed that
Bell.
“That boy of Corillo’s lms been in
trouble again,” says the Danbury News.
“He was playing in Mrs. Coney’s yard,
next doer, right after dinner, Thursday.
He had Mrs. Coney’s dog harnessed to a
wash-boiler, and was driving up and
down a cobble walk, when the lady came
out with a finger in each ear, and told
him he must clear out, as she expected
company at two' o’clock, and his noise
was altogether too much for the occasion,
llis obedience w;is more prompt than she
had any reason to expect or even desire.
In fact, ho left at once, first giving the
boiler a kick that nearly decapitated
the dog at both ends. Mrs. Co
ney was obliged to unhitch the
dog herself, whicli she did after
catching him. It appears that the boll
at Mrs. Coney’s door is somewhat stiff in
the spring, and rather difficult to sound.
This fact wjis well known to young
Coville, aud while Mrs. Coney was chas
ing the dog, the youthful miscreant stole
in the house, and with the help of a file
fixed that door bell so it would pull easy.
At 2 o’clock promptly the pastor of Mrs.
Coney’s church came up on the stoop of
Mrs. Coney’s house, and being aware that
the bell poll required considerable muscle,
gave it a sharp twitch, and immedi
ately left the stoop head first, with the
bell-knob clutched in his hand, and six
feet of wire swinging above him. In
the descent he split his coat the whole
length of the back, broke down the gate,
completely ruined his hat and seriously
bruised both elbows. Mrs. Coney, who
* is looking through the blinds all the
time, was very much shocked by the ac
cident, but promptly led the gentleman
into the house, and a* promptly dressed
liis wounds. An examination of the boll
revealed that it had'been trifled with,
and as Mrs. Coney was quite confident
Coville’s l>oy had done it, she reported to
Mrs. Coville that she actually heard him
say the other* day that ho would * fix that
bell*’ The fall term of school com
menced yesterday, but Coville’s boy was
not there.”
All’s Well that* Ends Well.
Saturday evening, says tho Sacramento
Union, a gentleman in the employ of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company drove
out to a place about fifteen miles from the
city, where his family ore stopping, and
soon afterward started on his return to
town. Before starting lie lighted his
meerschaum and indulged in a long and
pleasant smoke a& lie drovo along. This
over, ho placed tho pipe in the outer
breast pocket of his coat, and paid no
more attention to it. By and by a pecu
liar smell greeted his olfactories—a smell
of burning woolen cloth—and, as it in
creased, ho began to look about to see if
his garments wero on fire, and at the first
movement he found that the whole-pocket
had burned out of his coat: and the fire
was spreading rapidly. He grabbed at
tho burning material hastily, but was so
nervous about it that he frightened the
horse, and the animal ran. To make
matters worse, the lines wero nob
buckled together, and one slipped
out of his grasp while he was
endeavoring to smother the fire with his
other hand. Still worse, the increased
speed increased tho breeze, which fanned
the fixe, and portions of it dropped down
upon liis pants, burning through them,
and causing him to bounco up and down
on the seat as though he wero trying to
settle an unusually hearty neal. And
there he was—horse running away, lino
dragging and fire rapidly making the
cuticle of his leg rival the hue of his red
flannel underclothing. At last, by dint
of dexterous clawing, lie managed to
smother the fire, then stepped out on tho
shafts and recovered the line, and in the
course of time subdued the horse. E c-
cCedingly thankful to get out of his
trouble without broken hones, ho rode on
to the city in a subdued frame of mind,
and never thought of being profane until,
just as ho was quietly slipping into a
clothing store with the buffalo' robe
gathered about him to conceal tho defi
ciency of liis wardrobe, hr. met full in
tho face two lady friends, who insisted
upon his escorting them home, and
•wanted to know what in tho world he
had got himself wrapped up in that way
fer?
