BoouEr,---As we sat in the sane
tum dreary. thinking up items, tedi.
ons and weary, we heard q tapping
on our door, thought il was the dew
il, and nothing more, alert for copy,
all, what bore: But anon the tap
ping changed to rapping loud and
long on the sanctum door, as we
scanned intent as before, our exchan-
ges for literary lore; hard resisting
such persisting of the knuckles on
our door, and with scowl and frown
and frcnzy, with jerk our breaches
tore off the identical patch as before,
as we quickly ierked open our sane.
tum door. Amazed, silently we gazed,
clearing upour brow that like scow
without rudder had shifted lower
than was its wont in days of yore;
then stammered and suffered, and
as at hot potatoc dinner splut-
tered, spluttered and .fluttered and
nothing more. Was we astounded :?
yes, COMPOUNDED; for right before the
open door, smiling, and blushing like
a rose she was crushing in that beau
tiful hand we had (not) asked for
before, stood Miss NJ, u whose
face we knew wcllin days that are
gone to return no more. We thought
of the patch that dangled half-latch,
danglcd and sported in the zephyrs
that blew around the narrative of
our coat, as they scooted through
The open wlndow opposite the sane
tum door. We bowed-it was fatal,
for the sweet "shaney mattel discov
cred twas our knees bent, and not
the body near the rent, as etiquette
would teach was the joint to stoop
o'or,--and scraped, and what was
more tore the patch clean off behind
mot before. Oh, fate, why thus ex-
pose far better 'twer our toes peep
ing out from a gap five feet four be-
low our nose. She spoke thusly, and
so very telsely eve boquet for
you, please accept" then turned to
60, but in. a fit of desperation, our
tongue broke loose and while tho
perspiration trickled down our pug
gy nose, we thanked her kindly for
the rose and blows, and bowed and
scraped just like the crows in unso-
phisticated bliss. She was gone,
alas, how soon; and we we're thrown
back on reflection, ah, bitter, sad
reflections: what a spooney! yes, a
looneyl to be stricken with gthe
dumbs, when a fairy, with such an
airy-bonnet stood before Sur open

The N1 KluX Kian.

This mysterious brotherhood is spreading
rapidly in Tennessee, North Alabama and
Kentucky. In the former State, so rapid has
been its rise and so overwhelming its progress
as to create serious alarm in the breast OF
Gen. Thomas for the safety of the people OF
that State. He has considered its introduction
there of sufficient moment to induce him to
make it the subject of special report to
Gen. Grant, and, if the newspapers are to be
believed, the great "horse talker" himself has
been thrown into a state of considerable trep-
idation on account Of the doings of this re-
markab!e club. What the thing iS-its pur-
poses, plans, intentions or principlcs-re-
mains still matter of conjecture. There are
some who declare that the ku kluX is moth
ing more than the revival, under new name,
of the once famous "Sons of Malta, or that
it is, perhaps, only the new name for that
well-known association of clever fellows in
New Orleans known as "Ye Mistiche krewe
of Comus." However organized, by whom
and for what purpose, is, as yet, secret
known only to the faithful. That they have,
as vet, been guilty of any acts which would
warrant the charges which Gen. Thomas
would insinuate against them, has rot been
shown. They have, doubtless, had great
deal of fun-have put big scare upon the
radicals and negroes of Tennessee, and arc
now attracting more attention and comment
in that State than even the great impeach-
ment hulnbug ITSELF The Augusta Chronicle
learns that Klan has been organized in that
