Runaway Lovers The Romance of Coon

Kentucky appears to furnish more
runaway candidates for hymenial hap
piness than any other State; and large
portion of them come to the Queen city
and take refuge at the Burnett ii ouse'
to arrive at the consummation OF their
dreams eff bliss.
The latest affair Of this kind was m an
aged in very neat way. A certain Mr.
Hanes, of Greensboro, loved a certain
Miss Throckmorton who lived in the
country near that place. Miss Throck'
morton loved Mr.. Hanes, but her father
didn't. On the contrary, he threatened
to deposit an ounce of lead in Mr..
.Hanes body if that individual should
dare to persevere in his suit But the
threatened lover was not frightened. he
became strategist. He enlisted in his
service several young men OF his ac-
quaintance, and gave postal currency
with liberal hand to the colored citi'
zens resident at the loved one home,
The result was coon hunt on the plan
tation, in which all the people Of the
place joined and, while the enraged
iather Joined in the sport, Mr.. Hane'
hunted for his love, seated her by his
side in buggy, behind fast horse

Squabble Among the Mortimer
Some Artful Dodging Proposed
.ial to the Missouri Republican. ]

Special to the Missouri Republican,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.-The Northern
delegates, after squabble, adjourned to
meet tomorrow, without appointing a
committee on resolutions. This is 30 far
triumph for those who do not wish the
North to have any voice in the Conyen-
ton, but propose to leave it entirely to
Southern men to do as they please. l.
anticipated this, and explained it in my
dispatches of yesterday. 1t is feared by
some that If the Northern men have ev-
erything to do with the Convention and
negro suffrage is Endorsed, it will hurt the
Republican party in the October and
November elections. Hence the strug-
gle to let the Southern men have every
thing their own way. The extreme rad
icalism of the Northern delegates is a
subject of general comment They will,
if left to themselves, go far ahead of Con-
gress in the Radical road in the express
sion of their views.

Convention of South Carolina, in 1860,
was called to order and adjourned, has

"Profes Dignity

" An incident ocenrred in one Of the
Philadelphia courts on Thursday, illus
trating the peculiar notions of dignity
prevalent among the professionals. :
In the dock were two individuals charged
with burglary, They were new to the
business, and none of fhe detectives
could recognize them as before in their
clutches They pleaded mot guilty
when arraigned, and no more was
thought of the case by the spectators in
the court room. About an hour after
the plea had been entered, a "profes-
sional, who is fortunate enough to be ut
liberty at the present time, stepped up
to a well-known member Of the bar, and
handed him $25, requesting him to give
his services to the two unfortunates
about to be tried. He accompanied the
fee with a remark that he had no ae-
quaintance with the fellows, but, for the
honor of the profession, he desired them
defended. The lawyer took the money,
and stepping into court, examined the
bills of indictment, aud discovered that
they we're charged with burglary in en-
tering a dwelling and stealing five
pounds of butter and several quarts Of
milk. The lawyer reported the state OF
affairs to his principal. Imagine his as
tonishment at the answer of the would
he friend of the strange burglars: Let
the fellows 90 up. II they stoop to
stealing butter and milk, they deserve all
the Judge can give them Keep the SIS,
and go 10 the Judge and tell him to give
them another year !" The disguised
professional turned on his heels and
marched away cursing the meanness of
the men who had descended SO low as to
steal provisions rather than more sub
stantial plumber.

Bullet-Pr Cloth.

1t is announced in the Belgian news
papers that a certain NJ. Bernard has an
vented species of cloth which is bullet
proof At recent shooting festival in
Belgium he submitted it TO one OF the
best possible tests, by standing hre
himself at hundred yards distance,
after first showing that he had nothing
under his bullet-proof cloak but ordinary
clothing. A conical ball from rifie
struck him in the breast, iiattened and
fell at his feet, and picking it up he ex-
hibited il to the astonished spectators.
His face was covered with a steel he'll
met, and the cloak reached to the ground.
Not yet having secured patent for his
cloth, he of course, would not permit
any one to examine its texture closely
Such is the report that comes to as In
late foreign mail, and if true, the famous
needle gun has met its match.

Hesse, and the Duchy of Nassau, as well
as the free city Of Frankfort, have,

themselves in open state of war with
Prussia. They have refused neutrality,
as well as the alliance offered them re-
peatedly, and even in the last hour, by
Prussia, under promise Of guaranteeing
them their territorial possessions. They
have taken active part in the war of Aus
tria against Prussia, and. have brought
down upon themselves and their coun-
tries the decision Of war. This decision
has, by the will Of God, resulted against

experiment for getting some "go' out
of a balky horse. Having loaded his
wagon with wheat rather heavily, the
horses we're either unable or refused to
draw it. After trying for some time to
put them in motion, he set fire to sheaf
of wheat and applied the flame to one OF
the horses. The horse, not relishing the
application, by well directed kick de-
posted the blazing sheaf in the load Of
wheat. This, becoming ignited, was en-
tirely consumed, together with the wagon.
One ofthe horses also narrowly escaped
perishing in the conAagration.
