! Brass Mounted Infidelity.
New York Star.
Col Robert (1 Ingersoll is a smart
; man. lie has wit, address, audaci
ty and brains to mutch. Asa pop
ular speaker ho lias few equals,
lie is on the best terms with him
self, and keeps his audience on the
the best terms with himself also.
He tell stories capitally, and has an
exhaustless stock oi’ them to tell. If
liis argument is too short ho spices
it with a joke. If his reasoning
gets dangerously thin ho raises a
laugh, and it is impossible to an
swer a ringing round of applause,
lie knows enough of tho bible to
pick out the passage he wants to
shy at the heads of doctors of di
vinity, and enough of science to
make astounding assertions in a
tone of infallibility. Such a man is
calculated to secure an immense
following and do unspeakable dam
age lo Christianity and tho church.
And tho spread of his brass moun
ted infidelity shakes the faith of the
middle aged, dazzles and deludes
I he young, and encourages the neg
lect of religious institutions and a
flippant, profane way of dealing
with sacred things. Tho decline in
morals, in business and honesty, in
political character, in official digni
ty and virtue and i.i domestic satuts
lilies, is largely due to the spread of
this'obstructive aesthetic miasnui.
It is easy to laugh at capital jokes
and clever hits at popular follies.
11111, thinking people should ask,
Where does this thing end'? What
will bo its ell’, et ou home, on social
morals, on political conduct, oil the
reverence which is the foundation
of all that, is gloat and worthy m
character, ft is this other side of
the case which people should se
l ion sly consider before lotting their
feet stray out of llie beaten ways.

An Unfortunate Youth.
Virginia, Nevatln, (tlironielci.
A tired.looking young man snt in
ii (I street, saloon yesterday with Ills
elbow resting oil a beer tabio and
liis eliin in his hand. Ho gazed
through tho tobacco smoko
and lager laden sawdust.
Hullo, cried a friend, what's
wrong with you, Bob? You lost
bln-.
I've las n thinning, said tho tiled
and melancholy young man how
different mv life would have been if
I'd been horn widi a tail.
\V iill a tail?
Yes, with a tail. If it had been
my I nek to have a tail I’d been
rolling in wealth to day instead of
lilting here half tired to death with
hard work.
Bat how in the name of zoology
would ft tail help you? asked the
friend, in amazement.
Why, cun ‘i, you see? Whenever
I need motley all I'd have to do
would be to go into a cage or onto
a stage and exhibit myself, A man
with a tail would paralyze the pub
he and kit all tho science sharps
wild. Do you catch onto tho tail?
I do, said tho friend respectfully,
and I wish to gracious I hail one
myself, seeing ilia way you put it,
Will you have a glass of beer?
I will, replied tho tailess young
man, in a gloomy voice.

Arthur’s Democratic Future.
ImllunapoliH Sentinel.
Reports have it that Arthur will
soon lead to the the altar Airs Craig
Wadsworth, of Washington City.
A Washington letter says of the la
dy: She married the wealthy son
of the late General Wadsworth ol
New York, who died a few years
since, leaving her tho mother ol two
cuildren, with a large fortune, ishe
keeps bouse on Massachusetts ave
nue, and has been tho most n-ticed
woman in society during tho past
season. Blie is tall, graceful, a
brunette and the owner of a mag
riifiicent set of diamonds, while her
dresses are made in Paris, but ontro
nous, she is a Bourbon Democrat.
Air Arthur is anxious for the nup
tial ceremonies right away but it is
understood that his Cabinet advi
ses postponement until after Gui
lean is bung, or his case otherwise
diisposed of. To have the wedding
take place while the assassin is alive
and kicking would be certain lo
have mingled with the reports of the
event the declaration of the murder
er of GHield: I made Arthur
j President to harmonize the Repub
| lican party.
The extension of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad will go
from Bain bridge to Chattahoochee
after all. Anew survey furs been
made and Bainhridge is all right
now.

Acquittal After Seven
Years.
(b'iiliu Ntwrs.
On Tuesday, in Pike Superior
court. John Rogers charged with
murder, was acquitted after a trial
unusually interesting by reason of
the circiinistanees of the case, in
ib'Tti, the prisoner then a beardless
hoy of eighteen, killed one James
M Smith, who was r. gnrded as a
desperate, dangerous man. The
killing occuricd at illiamsvillo, in
Pike county, and the difficulty which
led to it originated in a groggery.
Rogers escaped and went to Tenues,
see where he engaged in farming
until about 15 months sgo when
sin riff Bussey discovered his
whereabouts and brought him back.
For lti months he has been confined
to the jails of Pulton, Spalding and
Pike. The case was called this
week and ably argued both by tho
state and the defense. Judge Hall
was the leading council for the do
fei.se, and althought the leading
counsel for the defense, and al
though the general impression pro
vailed that Rogers was guilty, he
presented the case in a logical, for
cible mil convincing way way that
on Tuesday at noon after being out
only a few minutes, the jury return
cd a verdict of not guilty. Rogers
was completely overcome and bug
soil Judge Hill with emotion,
liis nuitlKT, an aged, heartbroken
woman, who had almost put her
life into tho case, almost went cra
zy with joy and her shouts and
thanksgivings could bo heard all
over the village. Rogers’acquittal
was a great victory for Judg; 11,dl,
and lie is, no doubt, proud of it.
Alollie had a little ram, fioeco
black as rubber shoes, and every
where that Alollie went, he emigra
ted too. lie went with her to
church one day-—the folks hilarious
grew, to see him walk demurely in
to Deacon Allen's pew. The wor
thy deacon quickly let his angry
passions rise, and gave it a i un
christian kick between tho sail
brown eyes. This lauded rummy in
the aisle; the deacon followed fast,
and raised his foot again, but, all!
that lirst was liis last!—For Mr
Sheep walked slowly baeit about a
rod, his said, and ere the deacon
could retreat, it stood him on liis
head. 'The congregation then arose
and went for that ero sheep, but stv"
end well directed butts piled them
into a heap, -Then ruslie 1 they
straightway for tho door with cur
ses long and loud, while rammy
struck tho hindmost man and shot
him through tho crowd.—Ex.

How do you come to ask s(j lor
this load of firewood, when your
neighbor offers the same kind of
wood for $4? was tho question Uil
liooly asked of the man in charge
of a load of fuel in Austin.
Well, yon see I’m going to ho in
dicted for stealing this wood, and I
will luive to pay a lawyer to prove
my innocence That’s why I have
to charge $2 a load extra.
Does not John Smith steal his
wood, too?
Certainly he does lie cuts it
off the same tract of land where I
g it iliis.
Well, does not lie have to hire a
lawyer, too, to prove liis innocence?
Ol course not. He is never in
dicted by the grand jury. ,
Why don't the grand jury indict
him?
Becaue lie is always appointed
foreman, lie lies got more influ
ence than I have.
At the church a few weeks ago,
the funeral of a prominent and high
ly-respected citizen of the town 1 y
llio name of Knight occurrd, on
which occasion, by a singular con
tretemps, the choir sang aH their
first selection tie usually fitting
hymn, ‘There will bo no night
there. 1 The effect, as soprano, alto
and tenor successively brought up
the refrain, was well calculated to
excite the risibles of those who had
gathered in any but a humorous
spirit.
Since Senator Bruce’s term expired,
a little more than a year ago, there
has been no negro in congress until
the other day when Lynch took his
seat from Mississippi. The first ne
gro congressmen was Rainey, of South
Carolina, who sarve-d eight years from
March 4, 1869. The 32d congress—
-187 1-73 —had three, the 43d six, the
44th five, and the 45th two negroes
in the house, the two last also had
Bruce in the senate, and in the 4c.tJr
Bruce was the only colored man. that
was left.
