STRATEGY, MY Boy.u

An exchange tells a novel Iove
story: A young couple planned an
elepement; the girl descended the
traditional ladder, but at the oate
they were met by the father of the
girl and minister, by whom the couple
were escorted to the parlor, where
to their surprise they found all their
relatives collected for the marriage
ceremonies, which took place at once.
1t was neat parental freak. Not
near as neat as that of fond parent
we know of. He heard his daughter
and her fellow plan an elopement
The next day the old man waited on
the young one and addressed him
thus: You're fine brave youth.
and don't object to you for a son
in-law. Here's hundred dollars to
aid in the elopement. May you live
happily in the same house, and may
10 accident occur to throw the least
shade on the sunshine of your life.
All 1 require is that you elope- with
my daughter-she's a mighty nice
girl, you know; but somehow and
her mother could never travel
smoothly with her; we don't know
her good points-elope with her to
such a distance that she won't re-
turn to her leving father and mother
any more. Good-by, sonny, and
may you be happy" There was an
elopement that evening of one
The young man went unaccompan-
led. He thought everything couldn't
be right when the old cock was so
anxious to get rid of the girl. The
father looks on this as very neat
bit of strategy, for one who has
never been on McClellan's staff.

Fisl, Culture.

That celebrated sportsman and rearer of
trout, Mr.. Seth Green, of Mumford, in this
State, was invited recently by the Massa-
chusetts Fishery Commissioners to meet
them at Holyoke. on the Connecticut, and
teach them how to supply that river with
shad.. "Seth" proceeded at once to show
the Commissioners how the thing can be
done, and in a brief private note to us
speaks of his proceedings in the following
enthusiastic manner: -risi5 .-s r....-

To any one who has seen the pond and

treats for his brook trout. the promises he
makes in regard to the millions of shad ova

Le,,s Have a New Divide.

'tBrave old Ben Wade," as the heroic
Sumner once delighted to call him, is in
for redivision of property. In his Kan
sas speech, on the 10th, he said: -.

much for the slave, cannot quietly regard the

Wendell Phillips, too, pipes that agrari-

says: -..s-Es

The Orissa Famine.

The tale of Orissa famine, as told in an
elaborate official report of the Government
of India, is heartrending. The horrors it
reveals are of an almost incredible char
acter. When it is stated that the mortality
represented a sacrifice of about 100000
souls, some idea may be formed of the mag
nitude of this awful calamity. People die
helpless in swarms; money was spurned as
worthless; employment was offered on
government roads in vain, since the living
skeletons for whose relief it was provided
were too weak to walk, and far more so to
work. Such was the. distress of the starv-
ing masses that 1t was impossible to keep
any order in the tamishing crowd which
struggled tor the daily dole of rice, sand

Drifting
1t is conceded that faaaticism (now called
radicalis@) was the cause of our late civil
war. But for the aggressive policy of the
Abolitionists North, there would have
been no Secessionists South, nor sany at
tempt at rebellion. The conflict ended
and slavery was abolished; are the agita-
tors satisfied? Not by any means. Sum-
neT deelared in the Senate, the other day,
that he expected to see coLOred Senators oc-
cupy seats in their body! Col. Moss, an
itinerant Radical, who harangued our peo-
pie in the Court House last fall, writes, as
follows, to the Anti Slavery Standard: 4.
There are several negroes fitted for the
position of Vice President, and that race
claim that the second office in the gift of
the nation shall be filled by a negro. That,
they say. must be accorded to the bllck
race, by the Republican party, as proof of
the honesty of its profession of attachment
to the principles of equal rights to all men
regardless of race or color. If that demand
is refused, they will consider the Republi-
can party dishonest in its professions, and
vote against it in the Presidential election.
gtt In that view. the negro is right; and it
is to be hoped he will put the party to that
test. John M. Langston, of Ohio, is we'll
qualified to ill the position of Vice Pres-l
dent, and the negro need never be ashamed
of insisting upon the Republican party
placing him upon the ticket as the condi-
ton of receiving their support. Such an
act would complete the triumph of right
and Justice so far as the equality of race is
concerned. The Republican party dare
not refuse to nominate Mr.. Langston or
some other member of the African race, if
that people resolutely require it. That they
WILL require it, / have the best of reasons
for believing" .uaattI |

surratt-NIore Joe-RoltIsm.

baltimore q uly 2s) Correspondence of the Wash
q ington Express.1 a
A most astonishing conspiracy. came to
light in this city last week, relative to the
Surratt trial in your city. The facts are
chiefly these: A mau named Spandour,
who has, since the commencement of the
trial, been in Washington, lowering about
the prosecuting counsel Except a brief
visit to St. Albans and Burlington upon
detective 'service), came here and sought
out some parties who, were to appear as
witnesses for the prosecution. He instruct
ed them in their various parts. One TO
swear that he conveyed Surratt, under the
name of Patterson, to Baltimore, from the
neighborhood of Bladensburg, on the night
of April IA, 1865, in a wagon used by him
to buy old rags, &c, about the camps. He
was with Joseph Lyons (now in EurQpe).
Both had shawls on, and both left his wag-
oil, asking the way around the city te Can-
ton (below Baltimore), through which the
train for Philadelphia passes.
The witness accompanied Spandour to
Washington, saw Judge Pierrepont at
Willard s, had an interview with him, and
then was quartered for over a week at the
National, in room S4, until the trial ended
last Friday.
Another party, under Spc ndour's instruc-
tions, was to swear to selling Surratt wig
on the l4th of April; another to meeting
him in the Philadelphia cars on the 18th.
another that he, with Joseph Lyons and
Patterson, (alias Surratt,) was in the wag-
on,r having accompanied the owner and
driver from Washington, leaving there
April IA, at o'clock, z. NJ.
| Zone of the parties to this subordinate ar
rangement shrank from the fearful crime.
He was promised hundreds of dollars to
commit perjury, and sought advice from
one of his race, a prominent lsraelite of
this city, who at once had the counsel for
the defence informed, just before the case
closed, of Spandour's villainy. I'd
The parties were all summoned for the
prosecution, aud will be likely paid for
their attendance, if that has not been done
already. ..

Greeley and Duganne.

From an incident in the New York Con-
stitutional Convention on Friday morning G.
last, it would seem that Mr.. Greeley finds
the heat of Albany and the debates in the
Convention too much for his equanimity
and sweetness of temper. A member. of
the Convention, Mr.. Duganne, Republic
cap Delegate at large, complains that the
mild hammered philosopher accosted him
''roughly and profanely.n "A CORES pond
ent of the World makes the following state
ment of the affair: q -r.aft 5t
While the vote on the question of ad-
tournament was being taken, Mr.. Duganne
asked to be excused from voting, and said
that he did SO for the reason that he had
not an opportunity to consult with the
Chairman of the Committee on Suffrage,
as; to hoW5he should vote. He said that
when he was quietly passing down the aisle
after the adjournment last evening, he was
met by Mr.. Greeley and ungentlemanly
and ,profanely, assailed. At this point Mr.
Duganne was called to order, and was un-
able to conclude. He tried to make his state
mentin several other forms, but was called
to order each time. The Convention, there
fore, lost this interesting episode. But
what he said aroused the curiosity of the
members, who Insisted upon private
statement. 1t seems that Mr.. Duganne
to this statement, voted to ad
journ last evening, when Mr.. Greeley de-
sired the Convention to remain in session.
The motion being carried, Mr.. Greeley ap
.proached Mr.. Duganne and shook his fist
in his face and said, "D-n you, you voted
to adjourn when I wanted to remain in
session.; / will never speak to you again."
1t appears that Mr.. Duganne was desirous
of stating this fact, and ask. the Conven-
ton if he was to be dictated to by Mr..
Greeley, and whether such punishment
was constitutional. He was, however, cut
of, and the important question, whether
Republican delegates are bound to vote
just as Mr.. Greeley tells them, still re-
mains officially undecided, while Duganne
is Obliged to go for the balance of his
life without any recognition from the phi
losopher OF the Tribune. Who knows what
grave events may be affected by this ]?

The Detroit Free Press, of the 9th inst,
gives the following singular accout of
case of fiydrophobia: Sixteen years ago
last Wednesday,, james Bay, then a resi-
dent of Pontiac, was bitten by rabid dog,
but experienced no serious effect from the
bite until one year from the day OH which
he was bitten. He then felt some symp-
toms of the terrible disease, which soon de-
veloped into a most frightful attack. For
six weeks he was a raving maniac, and all
hope OF his recovery was abandoned, but
an iron, constitution and careful nursing
brought him out from the shadow of death,
and he rallied, the disease finally passing
OF He pursued the even tenor OF his
way until the second anniversary, when
he,Twas again attacked, but with less
severity than on the first occa-
sion. The twenty-siXth day of June in
each year has been the occasion of hydro
,phobic fit, the last of which attacked him
one week ago yesterday, at Sandwich,
where he was employed as a brlckmaker.
The usual symptoms were felt during the
early part of the day, and Bay requested
some of his frien,ls to tie him, in order to
prevent, personal injury. Being frightened
by his peculiar appearance, they refus ed to
do SO, and he continued at his work all
day, and until midnight, his usual time for
quitting. Going to neighboring barn, he
tried to sleep off the dreadful attack. ,Af-

groes and one white man. This was now
nothing uncommon. - 3i5a esq -
IA Mr.. McAusland brings the correct ac-
count of the atrocities now practiced upon
theiwhites by the negroes, instigated by
the troops. He gives full particulars of the
burning OF the town of Brennan in Wash
.lngton county. The first trouble occurred
at a private Invitation ball given by par
sty of young men, who had taken their
sisters and sweethearts to the hall
hired for the purpose. In the midst of their
-eIjQyment, the officers of the troops sta
tioped in the vicinity attempted to gain
admission, and afterwards brought in five
negro wenches, whom they insisted on hav-
ing admitted promiscnously in the dances.
OF, course this produced trouble. The
young men protested, and declared the ne
gro wenches must not only keep out of the
qladrilles, but leave the room, as it was a
private ball. The officers declared they
should keep their black partners in the
room, and. also that they should be admit
ted indiscriminately to the dances. The
white girls declined to dance in quadrilles
with the negro wenches and were about to
retire, when they were insulted blythe Off
GERS; this produced rumpus; the young
men of the town rallied. a fight COM
menced, and the result was that the officers
and the wenches were cleared out.
edThe next day the troops returned, AMI in
revenge burned up the business part of the
place and gave the whites notice to leave
as they would come back and flush the
job. This they did, and burned up the
court house and churches, again ordering
the whites to leave. They next aided by
q drove ofhegrees, destroyed every build
ing in the town. Not single house was
standing when Mr.. McAusland left, to
mark where stood SO recently the flourish
ing and happy townlof Brennan, WASH
ington eounty, Texas. = r't ss~a-s sk
Mr.. McAusland fecites other acts show
ing the desolation and horror now spread
ing over once fertile and happy Texas
He speaks diseouragingly of the future
and has little hope of relief for the
white people, at the mercy now of their
former servants. Every day negro outrages
occur, and there is no longer safety for
man. maid ar woman
