A serious riot occurred in Mobile, on
Tuesday evening, at an assemblage of me-
groes and white men, who were listening
to loyal harangue by the loyal congress
man, Judge Kelly. That Judge Kelly's
speech contained no utterance but Loyalty
is, of course, to be taken for granted. He
may, indeed, have INDUCED in some s~si,
violent denunciations OF southern white
men us characterized his speeches in con-
gross last winter; but such is the loyal
style. He may have uttered sentiments
calculated to provoke anger, rather than
to induce calm reflection but such is ehe
style of Judge Kelly. and Judge Kelly, as
everybody knows, is loyal. In fact, the
reports already show that Judge Kelly, in.
stead of seeking to allay southern preju.
dices and passions, hurled defiance at the
crowd assembled to hear loyal speech,
and told them that if they did not listen
to him the United States army was at his
back and would compel them to do so.
This arrogant boast of Judge Kelly that
he carries the army at his back in his
southern proselyting mission, may or
may not be true. True or not true, is was
very silly and unnecessary exhibition OF
Jacobin bragadocia, which seems to have
been the immediate exciting cause of the
riot. What other cause there may have
been will appear in good time. OF course
loyalty will ascribc all the blame of the
affair, which is not to be defended or ex
cused by any good citizen, to southern
rebels" but such is the loyal habit

AT a concert which took place lately, a
gentleman in the audience rose up just as
the third piece in the programme had been
performed, and said: ''Mr. Conductor,
will you oblige me, sir, by requesting
your vocalists to sing louder, or to sing in
whispers, as there is conversation going
on near where sit, that is conducted in
such loud tone as to hinder my enjoy
ment Of the music. ] prefer certainly to
hear the concert; but If ! cannot be so
privileged I'desire to hear the econversa-
ton" There was an extremely quiet and
attentive audience in the hall the rest of
the evening.
We have experienced the same annoy
ance on many occasions. A pair Of pretty
girls interested in their beaux, or pair
Of fancy gents talking Of the length Of
their coat tails will whisper and tattle all
the Concert or the play out Of any body
whose head is "leyel."

The most condensed article ever written
upon the subject Of Temperance, was peAn-
ed by VIM. North, author of the ''Slave
Of the Lamp" (republished by Peterson
under the title Of the "Man 1uf The
Worldly who committed suicide in, New
York, November 1854, by taking prussic
acid. The editor of daily upon which
Mr.. North was employed, in view of the
excitement the temperance agitation was
then making in New York requested Mr..
North to write an article upon the subject,
at the usual rates, but warned him partic-
ularly not to make it lengthy. ''Be brief,
MIR. North, condense, condense Remem-
Der you are paid for the article regardless
of its brevity.
Whereupon North seated himself and
after few moments of profound thought
wrote the following leader which was
printed and paid for at rate averaging
more than dollar word:
"After mature consideration, we are OF
the opinion that we had rather have the
whole world drunk of its own accord, than
have single man sober upon compulsion."

par with the latter, whenever the same
was desired by holders Of common stock.
The sincularlts consists in the fact, that
neither of the parties in interest, until last
winter, was aware of this point, which
had the force of law, being one of the
articles ratified by the Legislature of the
State.
The parties who represented a majority
of the "prcierred' stock, ut the last annu-
al meeting in May, 1866, commenced legal
proceeding in the United States District
Court, and applied for I'm injunction, res
training the new management from dong
certain things, noted in the decision above
referred to, which granted temporary IN
junction..
This might have stopped the work on
the McGregor Western, if compromise
of some sort had not been effected between
the holders of preferred and common stock.
We arc informed that the Milwaukee and
st. Paul interest now controls majority
of the preferred stock, and this fact very
likely facilitated the compromise already
referred to-
The final result Of these various maneu-
vers and combinations may be summed up
in the fact, not generally known outside
of railroad circles, that the whole chain Of
roads now known as the Minnesota Cen
trail, the McGregor Western, and the Mil
waukee and Prairie du Chen railroads,
are in reality one road, owned and opera
ted by one corporation; and it is probable,
that as soon as the gap is completed be-
tween Owatonna and Cresco, this entire
line of road between st. Paul and Milwau-
kee will be designated by one name.

Not q Star from tho Flag shall Fade.
BY PRIVATE MILES o'RlLEY.


AIR Oh a rare old plant is the lry Green.
Och, q rare ould flag was the Flag we bore,
Twas bully ould flag, an nice
1t had sthripes in plenty, an Sthars galore,
Twas the broth of purity device;
Faix, we carried it South, an we carried IL far,
An around 1t our bivouacs made;
An we ewore by the Shamrock that niver Sthar
From its azure field should fade!
Ayel this was the OATH tell you thrue,
That was swcrn in the suwls Of our Boys in Blue
The fight, it grows thick, an our boys they fall,
An the shells like a bansL scream;
An the Flag--it is torn by many a ball,
But to yield II, we never dreamed!
Though pierced by bullets yet still it bears,
All the Sthars in it's tattered field
An again, the Brigade, like to one man. swears,
"Not Sthar from the Flag we yield!"
twas the deep, hot oath, tell you thrue
That lay close to the hearts of our Boys in Blue
But two-thrds of the Boys who bore
That Flag from their wives and sweethearts dear,
Returned to their homes mersi
They died by the bullet-Disease had power,
An to death they were rudely tossed;
But the thought came warm in their dying hour,
mot Sthars from the Flag is lostr
Then they said their paters and AYES thro',
An, like Irishmen, ded-did our Boys in Blue!
pnt now they tell us some Sthars are gone,
Torn out by the Rebel gale;
That the sthar we fought for-thc States We won
Are still out Of the Unions pale!
May their sowls in the Dioul's hot kitchen glow
Who sing such lynn sthrain!
BY the Dead in their Graves it shall not be so,
They shall have what they died to gain t
All the Sthars in our Flag shall still shine thro
The grass growing soft DER our Dead in Blue.

The announcement of the death of Hon.
Jos. A. Wright, late American minister to
Prussia, could not have come upon the
public unexpectedly. Already far avanc-
cd in years, and having been threatened
for some time with the symptoms of the
disease which finally proved fatal, Gov.
Wrlghts demise was not a sudden one
and yet an event which his personal friends
regarded as distant, on account OF his vi
tality and general good-nature. As man,
Gov. Wright was universally liked by
those identified with the history of Indi-
ana.
In early life he removed from his birth
place in Pennsylvania to Bloomington,
Indiana, where he followed the trade of a
| brick-layer, and supported q widowed
mother. By his own excrtions alone he
studied the profession of the law, and
while yet quite young was elected prose-
cutting attorney for the district in which
he lived. Shortly after, he represented
his county in the state senate. In the wear
lS43 he was sent as representative in con-
gress, and remained there until the year
lS49, when he was elected governor of
his state. In 1857 he was first sent abroad
by President Buchanan, rs minister to
Ai"oS"t, lou WHICH poSltlOn nc was re-
lieved by Hon. N. d. Judd, after Mr..
Lincoln was inaugurated. In 1862 he
was appointed United States senator to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the expul-
sion of Jesse d. Bright, and served one
session. In 1868 he attended the Ham,
burg exhibition as commissioner, under
appointment Of President Lincoln; and in
1865 he was re-appinted, by President
johnson, minister to the court of Berlin,
in which position and place he met his
death.
Gov. Wright was always a successful
politician, and for the greater part of his
life was identified with the democratic
party. He was a thoroughly selfmade
man, of bright and quick intellect, but
wanting the refinements of education lie
was member of the Methodist church
and man Of good moral habits. In Bcr-
lin he was very popular among the masses
of the people, with whom he was fond of
mingling. He used to address their Sab
bath schools in english, as he knew but
little of the German language. At court,
however, he was regarded with but little
distinction, owing to the defects of his ed
ucation. which made him appear to bad
advantage. There are probably few men
more popular among their intimates than
was Gov. Wright, and his death will be
sincerely lamentcd.

A religious - contemporary has ar !: -
from from $50 ss...- psoas writer, in which "the
practice of pious women marrying
worldly -minded and impenitent men
is strongly reprobated. From our point OF
view, we entirely concur with the mean
dering, Methodistical, maw-worm concern
in question, both editor and correspondent
inclusive.
Our reasons for concurring are these:
When serious young women marry
men tout of the Ark F" and insist on
turning their "profane" husbands hous-
es into rendezvous for tea-junketing and
scandal-mongering old maids, maneuver-
ing matrons and hypocritical Mr.. Sleeks,
rldly-minded !" husband is apt to
swear little. This is all wrong, but it
marks the unregenerated man. who
has the spirit of his lordly race instead OF
the meekness of milch COW which has
forgotten how to kick. The "young mar
ried man, if unconverted," likes to
see little of his young wife's presence
without the eyes of a Dorcas meeting up
on him six nj gifts out of seven. lie is
willing to rent pew in church, but does
not always care to 90 twice or thrice, and
wishes his wife were not so "serious !" on
Sunday, his only leisure day in the entire
week.
There is remedy for all this, and the
young ladies can easily adopt it. They do
not require any aid of the 'worldly-mind-
ed" "sinful,'' theatre going" young
men to buy their -bonnets. Their "moth-
ers," "fathers," or "their pastors u
(perhaps) can furnish them, and "seri-
GUS men are always liberal to their
wives, and not the least bit in the world
jealous. (?) Therefore, if the "believ-
ing" girl cannot get protesting" hus-
band "let her remain unmarried"
On second thought, it might be better
for all parties that "seriOus" young la
dies remained unmarried, in any event,
for there are back-sliders as well as
worldly men, like Charles Torrens, who,
getting married into "Serious Family
will "take day S shooting" and be sal
ways after the coveys' ''Serious" young
women wouldn't mind remaining unmar-
ried after they got used to it, but would
deepen into the hard and exemplary :"
old women that make ncighborhoods so
lively by the dissemination Of news, and
render newspapers comparatively useless
as regards local news.
Yes, we do agree with our religious !"
contemporary. Eagles should not mate
with geese, and the woman who really de-
sires to make her "worldly- minded hus-
band a good, useful and high-hearted
man, worthy of +" the Gross" we all must
bear on earth to fit us for better land,
will find her prayers of the heart, her
tears, her caresses and her smiles far more
influential than all the dry, hard formulas

soul, or debase that manhood which the
Great Father meant should be the shadow
