The Mobile Riot.
MINION.

MOBILE, Ala, Nav 15-I have learned
further particulars of the fatal atfray of last
night. AS far as known, three or four per-
sons were killed, and from Is to 90 wound.
ed The leader, David Files, who fred the
first shot at Chief Of Police Charpientier, is
the only one arrested 1t is said that he
aimed directly at Judge Kelley. He was
held to bail this morning in S., 900 by May
CT Withers, but has not yet obtained bonds
1t is certain that the attack on the negroes
was continued for a considerable distance
from the scene of action, as many were
shot five or six squares off. Shots were
fred from the roof of store kept by Mr..
Wolf directly opposite the stand, and from
the windows of a house kept by man
named Brooks, at the corner of Royal st.
1t is believed here that shots were also fired
from the side window of John Forsyths

this, as | sat in front Of the window, and
the balls must have struck behind me Up
on visiting the scene this morning, dis
covered how we, who occupied the stand
escaped SO well. The firing was evidently
too low, as the largest number of bullet
marks are on the brick work of the espana-
da Five or six balls struck the front of the
building to the right and left of Judge KEEL
lys position, but few feet wide of the
mark. The fire continued in quick success
sion for upward Of ten minutes in the di-
rection of the stand, and it then was indis
crimnately distributed among the crowd
TO add to the confusion, the fire alarm was
rung, which brought an additional crowd
to the spot. The rush made toward the
s tand was esistt b. such of the gentlemen
as were around. The excitement to-day is
so great that the investigation is postponed
The Mayor and Col Shepherd will make a
rigid inquiry into the matter. The United
States troops are still posted throughout the

A DIsPUTE.-A venerable min

agreed among some thoughtless

to draw him into a dispute, with
the design of making a jest of him,
and of his doctrine. The wag

"Why," replied the wag, "you

everlasting punishment, and / do
not think they will" "Oh, if that
is ALL" said the minister, "there
is no dispute between you and me.
If you turn to Matt. XIV: 40,
you will find that the dispute is
between you and the Lord Jesus
Christ, and | advise you to go inn
mediately and settle it with him."

Singularities of Suffrage.

| A nice commentary upon the
Radical demand for impartial
suffrage in the South is found in
the fact that only eight of the
twenty-five States controlled by
the Radicals permit such suf-
frage. Ofthe New England States
Connecticut is the only one that
refuses the ballot to colored men.
Maine, New Hampshire and Ver-
mont make no distinction what
ever in respect to suffrage, but
Massachusetts and Rhode Island
do. The laws of Massachusetts,
require the voter to be able to
read the Constitution of the Uni
ted States in the English language
and to write his name. Rhode
Island likewise INDUCES in a lit
tie KNOWN Nothingism inits suffrage
law, by declaring that every native
male citizen may vote. In New
York negroes with certain qualif-
cations are allowed tovote thatis
such as are worth two hundred and
fifty dollars, and have been in the
State three years. In Wisconsin
negroes are allowed to vote by vir-
tue Of decision by the Supreme
Court of that State upon tech
nicality. In Ohio the greater part
of the negroes vote, although the
law gives the ballot only to those
who have more than half white
blood. Darkies who are black as
charcoal can vote there in the
Radical districts under the half
white law. In nearly all of the
other States, however, the Radicals
have declined, by tests in popular
elections, to give the negroes that
which they SO strenuously insist
the Southern people shall give
them.

A Modern Joseph-How
to Make a Thousand
Dollars.

A singular love affair has re-
Gently occurred in Portland, Maine,
which, in a mild way, is not Who'll
ly unlike the wooing between
Venus and Adonis. A lady of
very superior personal attractions,
and the wife Of a man Of means,
had the misfortune to fall violent
ly in love with young man, who
is the soul of honor, and mighty
good looking at the same time.
The woman was so carried away
by her unlawful passions, as to
almost wholly disregard the laws
of propriety. She constantly
placed herself in the way, gave
him the most tender and linger-
ing looks, but all to no purpose.
Finally, she procured a presenta-
ton to the object of her infatua-
ton. 1t availed nothing, how
ever, as the young man was gov
erned by the most correct prin-
ciples. Her advances failed to
meet with the faintest response.
His GOODNESS only seemed to in
crease her ardor, and she fairly
haunted him. The husband of
the infatuated lady was at last
made aware of the position of
affairs. He loved the woman de-
votedly, and instead of treating
her as she well deserved, set about
to wean his wife from the singular
attachment. Separation was the
only remedy that suggested it.
self. He could not we'll leave the
city. The man might be induced
to, though he was well situated.
Overtures were made, and the re-
suit was that the good looking and
honest chap departed for parts
unknown, taking with him, it is
said, 81 900 in green-backs, as a
recompense for vacating. So
much for a graceful figure and
manly face. She who loved him
so well and unwisely is declared
to be quite inconsolable, and vows
she will follow her beloved as
soon as she can ascertain his |
whereabouts.

ORIGIN OF THE EPlTHET, "TURN-
CoAT." The opprobrious term of
"turn-coat" took its rise from one
of the first Dukes Of Savoy, whose
dominions lying open to the incur
sions of the contending houses of
Spain and France, he was obliged
to temporize and fall in with that
power that was most likely to dis
tress him, according to the success
of their armies against one anoth-
er. So being frequently obliged
to change sides, he humorously
got a.coat made that was blue on
one side and white on the other,
and might be indifferently worn
either side out. While in the
Spanish Interest he wore the blue
side out, and the white side was
the badge for the French-from
whence he was called Emmanuel,
surnamed the "Turn-coat," by
way of Distinguishing him from the
other princes of the same name of
that house. -

Reputation of Chicago.

The bad reputation of Chicago
abroad, was shown in a divorce
case the other day. John Seeley
removed from Newark, N. j., to
Chicago, instructinghis wife to fol-
low. She has steadily refused to
do so for over a year, and her
husband then commenced an ac-
ton against her for divorce on
the grounds of desertion.
The wife, in her reply, AYERS
that from what she could learn of
Chicago, it is not a fit place to
bring up family of children, and
a place in which her own life and
reputation would be endangered.
This is considered q good 'joak"

How We get Sardines.

instead OF employing netS, the
French use bait for catching the
sardines which they annually take
from sea, and cure for the gratifi-
cation of epicurean tastes. This
makes the fishery a very expen-
sive one. more especially as they
use only the roe of the Goldfish.
On the shores of the North Sea
fisheries have been established
solely for the purpose Of providing
the eggs of the Goldfish as a bait
for the French sardine catchers..
The roe cost fifty francs go SOY per
barrel; each boat employed in the
sardine fishery will use about fif-
teen barrels every season, and, as
there are about three thousand sar-
dine boats on the coast of Brittany,
the money paid for bait is enor-
nous. The number of Goldfish
killed to furnish the bait is i'm
mense. The capture and cure
of the sardine is a great business
in France, especially at Concarn-
can, where as many as thirteen
thousand men are engaged in it,
directly and indirectly. There
are no statistics to show the num-
ber of sardines caught and cured,
but it is wonderful. Besides the
large quantity exported, as many
as 100000 boxes are cured In
oil for home consumption, while
enormous quantities are sold fresh,
and in tins and barrels. The Gu
rers buy from day to day what
they want and no more they do
not generally make contracts with
boats, and only a few firms own
boats. As soon as the fishermen
come in with their fares, the sar-
dimes are put in train for cure by
being beheaded, sorted into sizes
and washed, which is mostly done
by women, who earn about las. or
los. a week. The cure is by dry
ing the fish in the open air, after
which they are placed in greatpans
over furnaces and boiled in OIL
Into this the fish are plunged, two
rows deep, arranged on wire graf
ings. In the oil (the very finest
olive) they remain for a brief Pc
riod, till, in the judgment of the
cook, they are done. Then they
are placed to drip, the drippings
being carefully saved, after which
they are packed by women and
girls into the little boxes in which
they are sold. Again, they are
allowed to drip by the boxes be-
ing sloped, and after that each is
filled with pure olive oil. The
boxes are then hermetically
sealed by soldering and boiled in
a steam chest. The debris of
the sardines are sold for agricul-
tural purposes, and large quantity
of oil is exuded during the cure,
which is of considerable value.

If false lights on lfe's waters
To wreck my soul appear,
With fingers upward pointing,
She turns me with tear.

And count itlittle worth,
Of her, the loving angel
That sitteth by my hearth.
She wins me with caresses,
From passions dark defiles-
She guides me when falter,
And strengthens me with smiles.

When they have passed from earth;
Oh, cherish well those sitting

THE SUNBEAM.

A darling little infant
Was playing on the floor,
When suddenly sunbeam
Came through the open door;
And striking on the carpet,
1t made golden dot
The darling baby saw it,
And crept up to the spot.
Its little face was beaming
With a smile Of perfect Joy,
As if an angels presence
Had filed the little boy,
And with his tiny finger,
AS in fairy dream,
he touched the dot of sunshine,
And followed up the beam.
he looked up to his mother
To oshare his infant bliss,
Then stopped and gave the sunbeam
A pure sweet baby kiss;
Obi Lord, our heavenly Father,
In the fullness of my joy,
pray that child-like feeling
May never leave the boy.
In every hour Of trial,
When sin allures the youth,
Send forth Thy light to guide him
The sunbeams of thy Truth.
And may his heart be ever ~
To Thee an open door,
Through which Truths, as sunbeams,
May play upon Life's floor.
