lS-A TASTE FOR THE FINE ARTs.-Den-
ton Locke, a colored gentIenan from Ohio
has a taste for The iine arts, which ia only
eonalleI by his foudness for our fsvorite
beverace-whisky. lie came to town 0n
Saturday, nnd the FIRST thing he did after
getting drunk, was 10 90 20 lie house of
Mrs. Davidson Robinson, also yol0red, and
take about fifteen daguerreotype likenesses
and make off with them. The licensees
were valued very highly, as some of them
were the shadows and ccunterfeitment
presentmeuts of those who had long since
gone to that undiscovered country where
all good niggers go. The police were ad-
yfsed of the of theft, and the officers visit
ed Locke's usual haunts, without being
able to find him. The next morning Mrs.
Robinson, who Is very enterprising speci-
men of African architecture, got horse
and buggy and went to Ohio in search of
Denton. She found him in harvest field.
At first he denied having the pictures, but
subsequently, acknowledged it. He said
he had thrown them into wheat Geld
somewhere near Bridgeport. The two
came back towards Bridgeport, and as they
neared ;he town, Denton indicated the sun
ny spot where the shades were deposited,
and after slight search about half of the
licensees were found. Denten could not
remember what he had done with the rest,
and Robinson was oompelledto come back
only half satisfied.

B9-Boxs BArHrSG.-There is city or
dinauee which makes it peual offence to
battle in the Ohio river within the city
limits until after nightfall. On Sunday
night officer Richardson, of the Island,
brought over to the city some half dozen
little fellows who were found in the water
long before dark. Many of the boys were
quite small aud scarcely responsible for
their actions. Aid. Robertson therefore,
gave the youths warning lecture and
permitted them to depart. Parents should
warn their children as to the existence of
this ordinance as we understand will
hereafter be enforced.

nB-DRAFTING-How THEY DO Ir.-The
subject of drafting has become one of con-
siderable interest within few days past,
the idea gaining currency that draft from
each State will soon be made to fill up our
thinned regiments in the field. Drafting is
provided for by law of Congress framed
in 1892, entitled "The Act to provide for
the national defense, by establishing uni
form Militia throughoutthe Urited States"
afterwards amended aud applied to all
transferring citizens of the country. The
process of drafting is about the same in
the various States. Rolls are prepared of
those liable to scrve-able bodied men be-
tween the ages of 10 and 45-aud the
requisite number of names are drawn by
lot in the presence of prescribed officials.
The persons drawn are notified, and given
opportunity to prove themselves exempt,
or provide suitable substitutes, failing in
which they are compelled to serve, or sub
nit to heavy penalties, generally imprison-
ment. The country has right to the SER
vices of her citizens in defense of the ma
ton, as none will dispute.

sons contemplating armed resistance TO the law, ii
there really be any such misguided and evil-disposcd

OF treason according the Constitution, and must not
