AN EXQUISITE STORY BY LAMAR
T1NE.-In the tribe of Neggdeh there
was horse whose fame was spread far
and near, and a Bedouin of another tribe,
by name Daher, desired extremely to
possess it. Having offered in vain for
it his camels and his whole wealth, he
hit at length upon the following device,
by which he hoped to gain the object
of his desire: He resolved to stain his
face with the juice of an herb, to clothe
himself in rags, to tie his legs and neck
together, so as to appear like lame
beggar. Thus equipped, he went to
who he knew was to pass that way.
When he saw Naber approaching with
his beautiful steed, he cried out in
weak voice, &c am 4 poor stranger for
three days [ have been unable to move
from this spot to seek for food. 1 am
dying-help me, and Heaven will re-
ward you" The Bedouin kindly offered
to take him up on his horse and carry
him home but the rogue replied, 81 can.
not rise; have no strength left" Ma
Der, touched with pity, dismounted, led
his horse to the spot, and, with great
Difficulty, set the seeming beggar on its
back. But no sooner did Daher feel
himself in the saddle, than he set spurs
to the horse, and galloped off, calling
out as he did so, cit is I, Daher. I
have got the horse and am off with it."
Naber called after him to stop and lis
ten. Certain of not being pursued, he
turned and halted at short distance
from Naber, who was armed with a
spear. " You have taken my horse"
said the latter. "Since Heaven has
willedit, wish you joy of it but I do
conjure you never to tell any one how
you obtained it." "And why not ?''
said Daher. Because" said the noble
Arab, another man might be really
i'll, and men would fear to help him.
You would be the cause of many refus-
ing to perform an act of charity, for
fear of being duped as 1 have been"
Struck with shame at these words, Da-
her was silent for moment, then SPRING
ing from the horse, returned it to its
owner, embracing him. Naber made
him accompany him to his tent, where
they spent few days together, and be-
came fast friends for life.

A horrible case of burying alive is reported
to have occurred in Jacksonville Illinois. A
beautiful young lady of seventeen, engaged
to be married, was found in her bed one
morning to all appearances dead. Several
physicians examined the body and pronoun-
ced her so. She had taken chloroform for
her teeth, and there seemed no possible
doubt that the dose had been fatal one
She was buried. A few days since her rela-
tives, being about to remove to another
State desired to take the remains with them.
They opened the coffin and were horror
stricken to find the corpse turned over, both
hands full of hair and the clothing torn to
shreds. Chloroform had placed her in
deep trance, from which she awoke to find
herself in her coffin and her grave.

General Schofield has informed
member of the Virginia House of Dele

forced into the rebel service by conscrip-
ton, Notwithstanding that they had ia
ken an oath to support the Constitution
OF the United States. and served in any
OF the capacities enumerated in the pre-
scribed form of oath. This will reduce
the number of persons disqualified to
vote or hold Office to very small mar

ALABAMA REPUBLIcANs.-A writer states
that "thirty-six counties of Alabama have
white majorities of population, and sixteen
counties have negro majorities The total
negro majority in the latter is 13O,474, and

eighteen thousand white voters, untainted
with treason. Ten thousand more will
probably cooperate with them. This, with
the loyal colored vote, should put Alabama
squarely on the Republican line with Ten
nessee and the loyal States. The opportu-
nifty open to our friends in Alabama is a
great one, and we hope they will not fail to
improve it. And we have the best private

Those who have been wishing for kingly
government have got it now,- let them en-
joy it. Sheridan who rcigns in Louisiana,
is, as might have been expected from his an
tecedents. the most oppressive of the fam
lily" He has put even Governor Wells I'M
der the matches, and allowed to make no APP
pointments or removals without his special
consent. Rich. En-.
If we are not greatly mistaken, the Editors
of the Enquirer, while publishing a paper
under Dayis during the rebellion, advocated
the abolition of all Courts, the suspension of
habeas corpus, and arbitrary rule. If this
statement is not true, the Editors can easily
deny it.
Mr. Davis was the most grinding despotism
that ever existed over civilized people;
and the purpose of the leaders was, if they
had succeeded, to establish kingly govern
ment on the ruins of States rights. Mr.. Da
Wis was to be the king, with the succession
secured to his eldest son. For this conspira-
cy against American liberty, if for nothing
else, he deserves to suffer death.
If we have "kingly government" now,
we had the same under President johnson.
His Provisional Governors were clothed
with arbitrary power. They were not limi-
ted in their action by either constitutions or
laws
We think the military commanders are the
right men in the right places. They will
protect life, liberty and property, and that
is what we most need just now. After
time-we can not tell when-we shall get
back to the Union. and then we shall govern
ourselves. Selfgovernment will be new to
US when we begin it, as we have not enjoyed
that luxury for the last six years.

| We stated in recent issue that while Mr..
Pell, of the Sentinel, would not admit pub
licly in his paper that colored men were en-
titled to hold Office, he was nevertheless en-
gagged privately in making overtures to lead
ing colored men, to detach them from their
principles. Mr.. Pell declares it is not true
that he has made propositions, "either di-
rectly or Indirectly" to "any colored man
about being candidate for the Convention"
We repeat the statement. MIR. Pel has made
such propositions. He sent two colored
men to a leading colored man, with this
view. We could obtain the statement of
these colored men to this effect, but we do
not wish to drag them before the public

We state furthermore that Mr.. Pell is con-
stantly after Mr.. James H. Harris. He wants

He "bones" him nearly every morning on
Market Square, and no doubt tells James, as
he calls him, how much he cloves" the
colored people. We learn that, a few nights
since, in the African Church in this City,
Mr. Harris referred publicly in plain terms
to Mr.. Pell, and warned the colored people
against his teachings and influence. Will

clowns, buffoons pretenders. and men of i'm
mature Judgment" Recently, in the abb
sence of the regular Pastor of the African
Church, he found his way, somehow or other,
into the pulpit of the colored people and
we learn that he was so hot to get at his po-
litical enemies that he could not locate his
text, but told the congregation it was to be
found somewhere in Jeremiah. And then he
told the coloreI people how he "loced"
them
Mr.. Pell might as we'll abandon the idea
of influencing the colored people in political
affairs. They want no such instructor
or leader. If he will let politics alone, apol-
ogize to the colored people for having deser-
ted them as soon as the Union armies arri-
we'd, and lead a new life of charity and good
will to all, he may yet regain his influence
as a Minister of the Gospel with both races.
