NEGRO DISTURBANCES IN KENTUCKY

NEGRO DlSTURBANCES IN KENTUCKY -
louisville, September s.-A company o.
fifteen or twenty mounted men entered the

COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE New TAX
LAW Washington, September S.-The
President is in receipt Of numerous petit
tions and suggestive letters from persons
who term themselves small whiskey dealers,
in various localities in the States, complain
ing of the injurious working of the new
tax law. They say they are poor men, and
make their living by distilling whiskey on
small scale that they are required to
take out license 10 the same amount as
large business men have 10 pay, who make
in one day as much as the small dealers
make in year; that they are unable to
make a living; that the rich add more to
their riches, and from the poor everything
is taken. They contrast the condition of
their class in this particular with their con-
dition under the laws of the European
Governments, and ask the President to con-
slider whether he cannot give them some
relief But of course the President Is
powerless to give them relief.-Uata.

"FLAsH AND ExTRAvAGANCE." - The
Atlas doesn't sympathize with the severe
criticisms of rustic newspapers upon the
rich displays of costume and jewelry made
by our wealthy people at the various resorts
of fashion. The writer reasons that
at is inevitable that there should be o
wealthy class. Such is the decree of Proyl-
dence, apparently, and no degree OF human
ingenuity can alter it. 1t is, therefore, the
policy of the less fortunate classes to en-
courage this class to be tiashy and extraVa-
CANT for if they were to indulge IN the
mere necessaries of life, altogether escheW-
ing luxurious follies and needless OUTLAWS,
the impecunious laboring portions of the
community would come to grief. 1t is IN
the extravaganza of the rich that we find
the wages of the thousands upon thou
sands of the poor. Every ball that Is
given, every opera that is sung, every ex-
travagance of purchase that is exhibited,
gives occupation and bread to numerous
people who would be sorely pushed to obtain
either unless such sources existed. And
we are not sure that when a man worth
millions entertains a few of his friends at a
cost of thousands, or buys small fortune
worth of jewelry, or builds q palatial resi-
dence at the cost of princes ransom, that
extravaganza is the right title to give to the
affair. 1t would be reprehensible extraTa-
gance if the expenditure was beyond the
legitimate means of the buyer. But when
fairly within his means, leaving him ample
margin to scatter benefits by other methods,
it is comparatively an ordinary outlay,
which it would be meanness for him to re-
fuse to make.n

From the New York Courier,
Song of the South.

BY SPENCER W. CONE.
We have no music on the breeze,
No banner In the beams
Our standards are the forest trees,
Our trumpeters the streams;
Yet not till all
The forests fall,
Nor till the streams be hushed,
Shall we, who Weld
Nor sword nor shield.
BY tyranny be crushed.
Like men we met the shock of steel
For what we deemed our right
Nor sheatlIed the sword to grovellinS kneel
To those we faced In fight
To Honor's hand
We gave our brand.
And not to treacherous knaVes 4:
But, tho we WELD
Nor sword nor shield,
They shall not make us slaves.
Like men, when vain the conflict grew,
We furled the Stars and Bars,
And fresh allegiance, firm and true,
Swore TO the Stripes and stars;
And curst the mouth,
In all the South
Which makes that oath lie,
Or dare proclaim
The White mans shame
And negroes mastery.
Go. tyrants trample white mems souls
Whilst license yet Is given,
But know-ye tread on burning Goals
That have been lit in Heaven;
And, If no blaze
Arrest your gaze.
Deem not the spirit flown.
Which. though your heel
Be shod with steel,
Will burn you to the bone.

The house of Robert Ravill, in the town
ship of Pierson, Montcalm county, Michi-
gan, was burned on Monday morning last,
| and FIVE children, ranging from two to six
| teen years Of age, persisted in the flames.
| Mrs. Rayill, with her babe and her eldest
son, were saved by jumping from window.
The fire was caused by putting ashes IN q
wooden box.
1t is complained, with reason, that there
is too much " Champagne Charlie" on the
seaside piano-fortes. All the orchestras
and bands play it, and all the boys whistle
it. As fellow we'll said: The first nine

heard Champagne Charlie we liked it !;
but now we are beginning to tire Of it."

prove a resolution passed by the "Texas

The Macon Journal and Messenqe. of tn,

The Macon Journal and Messenger Of the
4;h brings the following reports
THE news from many portions of Mid
die Georgia and the Black Belt is gloomy
enough. The late rains have played sad
havoc with the cotton. In some few sec
tons there will be fair yield, but the
planters almost universally say that the
crop will fall short of last years yield.
The rust, the worm, and the rot, are at
work destroying it. 1t seems the rains will
never stop. The last month, August, was
the most uufavorable ever known. Only a
few days remain now in which the crop
will do what it is going to-. The season
always closes between the 10th and the 18th
OF September. After that it matters not
what sort of weather we have. The crop
VIII be either made or lost. The crop in
'1eorgia will fall short of about $4,000
tales. Our only hope now is to make up
price what we will lose in quantity

Sabbath Evening in the Woods.

BY ". l. SHOEhAhEh.
Beneath the covert of this shsdowy wood,
Lying at ease along the messy ground,
A strange sweet calm comes o'er me 10 pro-
found,
Unwonted quiet, all things seem subdued
AS by holy spell ; no noises rude
Shatter the sacre ed silence-nO loud sound,
Save when some far-off bell, DER hills around,
Melodious waves sends through the solitude.
The very trees now reverently brood,
With solemn murmur and with saint-ike slRh
Nor warlton breezes dare on them intrude;
With prayer-like lisping glides the brooklet by;
Nor pipe the birds but IN religious mood:
hear their small wings lutter as they ny.
To hand, heart brain, o welcome, day of'rest.
Methinks the flowers more beauteous garments
wear
Than at less halowed time; the sunny air,
Water and sky, and the green earth, seem olest.
Let no dark dreams this eve disturb my breast;
Father of AL, Thou who for all dost care,
Let sorrows self q benedlction bear
IF in my heart she needs must be a guest;
For many friend who once with me did share
The piece o. the greenwood and the wild-0ird's
glee, "
Has. one by one gone hence, leaving me far,
Like black rock out In the middle sea;
And thoughts of them, when hither repair,
Invade me like tide. 1 trust In Thee.
