week the salt of the earth about Shelby
vile were horrified by the news Of the
arrest of Rev. Ben Tucker, Methodist
preacher, on charge of bastardy, the
party of the second part being little
girl under fifteen years of age, and the
sister of the reverend scoundrers wife.
This Tucker was formerly minister of
some standing in the Methodist Church,
but for several years has grossly neg
lected his pastoral duties and turned his
attention to politics No man has
been more profuse in his expressions OF
loyalty, or more vindictive in his denun-
Citations of "copperheads, than this
sanity scoundrel - this pious wolf,
whose sleeps clothing have thus been
stripped from his recreant shoulders.
The victim of this godly patriots lust
has been living in his family for years,
and looked upon him as her protector.
Most grossly has he abused his trust,
and, by systematic and long continued
poisoning of her mind, has finally sue
ceeded in effeetipg her ruin, SO that, a
child in years, she is almost mother,
and irretrievably ruined, a recruit for
the brothel, and living illustration OF
the evils which attend the mixing of pol
itics with religion. Tucker was bound
over 70 court in the sum of seven hun
dred dollars. Let his name henceforth
and forever be infamous among men
And still another case. Nj. M. Dodo,
blatant Republican, and Chairman oi
lthe Republican County Central Commit

running young girl living in his family
lin Dodds case some OF the more repul
siye features which characterize that Of
Tucker. are wanting. His victim was d
girl of more mature years, and was moi
his sister-in-law.
A curious fact is mentioned in relation
| to the birth of Dodd' illegitimate child
Dodd is a vain, pompous fellow, very
much addicted TO the wearing of yellow
buckskin gauntlets. Dodd was rather
disposed to deny the parentage of the
child, but it is said that freak of nature
has effectually debarred reputation O.

cans who profess to have seen the phe
nomenon, that the child was born with /
very fair representation of gauntlets
.)odd is said to be a peculiar man
He makes whisky and drinks it, and ye
is enthusiastic in behalf of the Methodis
church. He is great on conference, anc
is said to have arisen during Repub
lican meeting and proposed three cheers
for the Methodist chnrch. That body
will, doubtless, spew Mr. Tucker out O.
its organization and indicate to Mr. Dodt
that his friendship is not desered,

A Boarding-houss Story.

The New Orleans correspondent OF
the Franklin Banner is responsible for
the following: ..
An amusing incident occurred at one
of our large and fashionable boarding
houses few days ago which has caused
not little blushing and scandal IN that
respectable establishment A Cuban
Don, whose numerous trunks and gene
raj appearance indicated wealth, not a
great while since arrived with his lady at
the above establishment, and engaged
the principal suit of rooms The lady was
pretty and lively, the manners OF both
were pleasing, and they became the gen
eral favorites of the house. A soiree was
given one evening in their honor, and
their ignorance of American usages, their
bizarre style of dressing, and their unre-
served manners contributed not little
to the pleasure of all. But the funny part
remains to be told. In the midst of the
general hilarity the guests were startled
by the appearance of Jesuit priest
The polite hostess received him gra-
ciously, but thought he had made a mis-
take
But no-he said he had been invited to
perform marriage ceremony which was
to take place in that house. Now she
was certain he was mistaken, and there
was a slight litter in the fashionable as
sembly at the expense of the good father
But at this moment the Cuban Don came
forward with his lady leaning upon hls
arm, and with charming ndicette of
manner and in the most amusing broken
English, begged to explain that he was
the party referred to that he had become
so enamored of the many good qualities
of the lady leaning upon his arm that he
had determined to be generous, and offer
her his name, and that be would feel
obliged if the gentlemen and ladies pres
ent would act as the attendants AT this
unexpected explanation and suggestion
there was very considerable mice re-
vealed, and the maids and gdrconS
dhoneur we're not forthcoming. The
happy couple received notice to quit next

A Practical Sermon.

We find the following in the local col
umns of the West Alabdmfdn, said to
have been delivered by colored preach
er who rejoiced in the title of Maj.
We never saw report in which the
idiom of the negro was more faithfully
given nor have we often seen discourse
more pointed and applicable TO the pres
ent condition of the freedmen:

The Last Eruption of Mount Etna.

NJ. Fouque, who visited Sicily al the
time of the last eruption of Mt. Etna, has
published an interesting paper on the
subject in the Rerue Cotemporatne. he
says: b4@ g. aeAh
During our journey around Sicily the
appearance of eruption has considerably
modified. The lava, which seemed nearly
stopped at the moment of our departure,
had suddenly acquired new intensity
about the middle of March. In the
course of two days an enormous stream
of lava had traversed the interval COM
prised between the Due Mont and Mt.
Crisimo, and then passing westward OF
that eminence, had dashed into deep
ravine in the direction of Lingua- Grossa
If it continued SO for few hours longer
the fiery torrent would have naturally
got into the midst Of vineyards and
houses by merely following the slope of
the soil Terror was at its hight among
the people threatened with the catas-
trophy. They, being grossly Ignorant
and superstitious, imagined that St lgna-
tn, the patron of Piedmonte, had turned
the scourge upon Lingua-Grossa in
| order to save the commune of which he
was the protector. The measure Of ex-
pelling his image from the chapel Della
Vena was being seriously discussed.
Had il been carried out it would newt
ably have led to bloody collision be-
tween the inhabitants of fthese two places ;
but, fortunately, the fiery torrent sud
denly stopped.
Other streams were subsequently
formed higher up, and during our second
stay at Mount Etna the lava invaded the
whole space that had hitherto been spared
between Mount Frumento and Due
Monti, leaving only here and there a few
hillocks still covered with vegetation,
like islands in a waste. The eruptions Of
lava, either in solid or liquid form
| gradually abated. Thus, while at the
outset stones elected from the lower
crater rose into the air to the hight OF
eighteen metres, that is, about forty times
the altitude of the column of the Place
yendome, toward the end they hardly
reach the brim of the crater, so that
about the middle of May | could stand on
its highest crest and make e>trigonometrl'
| cal surveys.
