An Elopement N.pped in the Bud
The Lover up a Tree.

A correspondent of the Detroit Post re-
lates the following: An elopement al
most occurred few days ago in the town
o. Thornapple, near the village of Hast.
ings, Michigan. A long, lean, lank, spec
linen of the genus homo, a regular seven
footer, fancying that he had discovered
charms in young lady superior to those
possessed by his wife aud family, made
vigorous attack upon the foatress of her
affections, and carried it by storm. An
attempt to elope was the natural result.
The two lovers started together ON foot,
EoFR, nobody know where, all the time in
dulging in blissful anticipations of future
happiness. But alas, their experience
verified the truth oe the old adage, "the
course of true love never was smooth"
for the friends of the young lady, having
become advised of the state of affairs,
soon started in pursuit. The short step
and SMALL track of the young lady, close
by the side Of the long stride of her ia
lover, pointed out unmistakably the di-
rcction taken by the fugitives they were
overtaken in the town of Irving, about
six miles from the starting point, and the
girl was taken back to the paternal man
sion. The gay lover, when he Discovers
ed TIE pursuit, broke for the woods where
he was subsequently found on the top Of
tree, and captured. A disappointed
lover up a tree, his idol ruthlessly snatch
ed from his embrace, and all his bright
anticipation blasted, it is no wonder that
his feelings took religious turn. Such
was the fact, for when the officer found
him he was praying Justify for the good
people of Thornapple. The officer thinks
cha. petition delivered in such loud
tone Of voice by a seven-footer standing
in the top of high tree, II ust have been
heard in the upper regions. Whatever
the result may be, he was ordered down
from his position, brought to this town
and placed in Jail to await the next sit
ting of the Circuit Court.

heard those fellows and is off, "He
can't be here, or we should have heard
him." &C., &c. Gradually such feeble
suggestions gave way TO positive, asser-
tions, delivered in a tolerably audible tone,
and at last l openly declared would
wait no longer, and descended to the
ground My first act was to get my shoes,
aud while putting them on and chatting

that it would be as we'll to call our guides.

rupt, startling roar, from .hicket with

amazement. Never before bad felt so
wretchedly helpless. Standing unarmed
at the foot of the tree, had one shoe on
and was about to put on the other
While expecting every instant to be my
last, | felt sure that an attempt to climb
to my perch would be the signal for the
tiger to seize me. To remain standing
there was equally d;sagreeable. My pis-
tolls came to nv recollection. They were
lying in my hat, but the hat lay some
what in the direction of the thicket. 1t
was a trying moment; but ip another
moment | found myself striding towards
the hat, one shoe on and the other off,
ana hardly conscious Of what | did. |
remember grasping the pistols, and, with
the barrels leveled towards the bush,
which steadily faced shutting sideways
to the tree. The feel of the trusty weap-
ons in my hands was comforting, as was
the sight of the aOctor, who, with both
barrels of his cooked, and pointing at the
bush, leaned eagerly forward on the char
pale, covering my retreat. At length L

the thicket, and went up it Me lamp

ded, the better satisfied will the Ameri-
can people be. Fellow citizens, we have
amended our constitution, apd for doing
SO, we are called by some "Consiitution
tinkers." heard red-mouthed Rebel
FROM Kentucky the other day talking
about the Constitution, and, said, "My
friend, you seem to be very learned in
the Constitution, when did you read it?" !
"Well," he said, Il often read it." Said
l, III will make you bet that you never
read it in your life, for I have heard you
talk about it for half an hour, showing
clearly all the etime that you do not know
anything about it, and you have spoken
several things that are not in my consti-
tuition" These men talk as learnedly
about the Constitution as if they had
read it, and they say that we tinkered it.
Well, we have tinkered it so that they
must stay out for four years more and
l tell you frankly that instead of the four
years provision, | would, we're it in my
power, make it forever. Sir, the spirit
of Rebellion is still so rampant that po-
ems and anthems are sung daily to the
Rebel dead, while loyal men at the South
are denied the poor privilege of decora-
ting the graves Of the fallen Union SOL
diers that sleep in that soil. 1t is idle
to talk to me about the Southern Rebels
being loyal while they thus trifie with the
most vital interests of the Republic.

THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE.

In order that our readers may see the
very best coloring that can be given on
the rebel side to the New Orleans butch
cry of Union men, we quote The follow
ing extract from the correspondence of
the New York Times, ths organ of Pres
ident johnson and the New Orleans mur-
derers. Singularly enough the letter is
headed with display lines indicating that
the letter is to correct the "Radical false
hoods" about the riot. The writer was
on the spot and witnessed the massacre
lie says:
When the freedmen, members of the
Convention, spectators and Others had
been driven into the building, the police
advanced to the entrance and forced the
way up stairs to the door of the Hall of
the House of Representatives, where the
Convention had been assembled, and into
which they and the freedmen had retreat,
ed. Several different tales are told as to
what followed. Certain it is that one po.
llceman was mortally wounded in the hall,
while, as he claims, he was attempting to
arrest member, 1t is claimed by a
member who was wounded by this police.
man, that he tried to shoot, but his pistol
teing knocked up, the ball sped HARM
lessly into the air, whereupon he seized
the weapon by the barrel and struck the
member on the temple with the butt end
1t is said that all hands in the hall fell
on their faces, and after the police had
expended their shots got up and drove
them out Of the room with chairs, &c.-
After this, r. King Cutler is Baid to have
demanded that every armed man leave
the room. Captain Burke, formerly IN
ion Chief of Police, did so, and received
slight 8esh wound in the side while
passing out. Another version of this as
sault is, that the policemen, without de-
I,anding the surrender of any one, pcked
their pistols through the half open door
and fred promiscuously at the crowd in
side, while white flag was being dis
played from cane stuck up on the speak
er's platform. 1t is certain thatso much
confusion prevailed inside that each of
The stories may have some foundation, for
with the hubbub occasion cd by the firing
and shouting Of the one hundred or more
men in the hall, no one could see or hear
everything or be able to tell exactly what
occurred.
Tho mob and the police filled the side
Ealk and stairway of the building
Shots were fred through the windows
from both in and outside, and bricks,
paving stones, clubs and other missiles
were thrown from both directions. A
gentleman named Cox came dowi stairs
and was arrested but on stating that he
was merely spectator was released, and
walked across the street, where he shield
ed himself on d doorstep. From his po-
sition he could see inside the building
which he had just left, and he states that
only one person after him came cut with
out being killed or badly wounded as they
came down stairs by the police and ths
