=, IhE JrDSoN ELoPEMENr-OLD JOE AND HIS
FAAILi.-The Detroit Free Press says:
Old niger Joe and his white girl. the hero
ano heroine Of the somewhat notorious eIope
ment case, have been lost sight of by the pub
Tic since the interest lost in their affairs sub
sided into an old story. They have, however,
pursued the even tenor of their way, regard
less of outside issues, and still live in their
little shanty in Windsor. Joe occupies the
responsible position of corporation fiddler and
with unpretending mien and limping gait,
trudges about with a buck and saw on his
shoulder in quest of eligible wood-piles His
domestic fre-side is illuminated by the pres-
ence of young half-breed of promising pro-
portions, and the smiling countensnce Of the
intellectual Sarey greets his diurnal return
home from the tolls of his profession Take it
all in all, she is probably as happy as when at
home with her immaculate and amiable papa,
who preached abolitionism and horsewhipped
her f.r burning the toes of her shoes Joe is
humble but exclusive, and takes on many airs
on the strength of his white wife and mulatto
baby No "Onary Canady niggers' are al
lowed to visit his domicie and a handy brick
bat is always in readiness for sable intruders
who aspire to the aristocratic society of his
hearthStOne.

nights ago. One of the inmates, Miss Mary

fingered for some hours after the occurrence,
but could not be resuscitated:
Through some carelessness of the gas COM
pany, main near the residence OF Mr.. Hen
derson became leaky, the gas found its way into
drain, and in the night filled the house The
condition Of the family was not discovered
until nine in the morning. All the members
were In bed and in an insensible condition.
Mr. henderson appeared to be dead; his face
was livid, hands elenched, and foam oozed from
MS lips. The windows were thrown open and
physicians called. 1t was not until several
hours that any of the family recovered sufficient
to recognize persons. Their sufferings were

The QUEEN OF SPAIN AND THE PuPE-A letter
from Madrid gives some explanations relative to
the Queen's letter To the Pope. The report having
been spread that the Queen had written lett. to
the Holy Father expressing respect aud devoted
ness 10 him, the Minister of Foreign Afirs
sounded her Majesty on the subject, and is said
u have acquired the certitude that her Majesty
had written such a letter The Minister IL is
ST ted wrote on the matter to the President Of the
Come 1. who Is now in Africa, and received for
answer that the latter shared mpleely the senti

this, the general opinion is that the policy Of
spain will continue To be one Of observation so
long as Europe shall remain undismrbed by grave
