OLD TINE CREDTORs.-The good

crowns, ventured several years after
to request payment-a proceeding 50
preposterousIy absurd that it drew
roars of laughter from The Lords of
the Council to whom the deputies ap
piled. Nor was this by any means
harsh treatment. The lively Duke
of Orleans having, in a fit Of religious
fervor, vowed to pay his debts, called
his creditors together 10y sound OF
trumpet. He really was sincere, and
made what he considered ample ar
rangcments, but he reckoned without
his host. The crowd, 500 and up
wards, that presented themselves al
the appointed time mortified him, and
despairing Of being able to satisfy
them otherwise, he fiogged a dozen OF
so by way of example, and dismissed
the rest with hideous threats as e
what would befall should they still
persist in teaching him with then
paltry bills. And Charles the Vile
Of Navarro, squared an account in ;
similar way. Henry OF Transtamal
having expelled his brother, Pete
the Cruel, the latter was returning t
his dominions escorted 10y the Bfact
Prince and 10000 men. As Charlie
held the passes of the Pyrenees, boil
brothers applied to him the one OF
lcring a couple Of towns for free pas
sage, and the other a large sum tha
the defles might be barred. The OF
fers were equally tempting, anC
Charles made up his mind to carr

one Oliver de Mauny to waylay hin
and clap him in prison. When th'
Black Prince had passed, the King o.
| Nevarre demanded his release. Bu
! de Mauuy had prohted too well by hi
employers example to keep strictl
to his bargain. He pocketed his hire
and then affecting to consider tn
king as a true prisoner of war, refuse,
to part with him except on the Gus
tomary terms-a large ransom
Most people would have given wa
to anger under such barefaced extol
ton, but not so Charles, who, thor
oughly appreciating such prett
piece Of perhdy, even when exercise
on himself, chuckIed over it with tn
greatest relish, and, in short, agree

SINGULAR CASE OF Paralysis
A little son of Oscar F. Davis of
Whitehall, New York, died a dav or
two since of paralysis induced by the
following singular manner: With sew
eral other boys he was in the habit Of
laying his ears on the rails of the rail
road track, while others would 90 off
some distance and pound the track
with stones. Every one knows that
sound is conveyed much more rapidly
and with much greater intensity by
solid substances than it is through the
air, and by this means a sharp ring
ing sound was produced, completely
deafening the listeners for moment
in fact, the boys called it playing
deafening. 1t seemed to have a great
er effect on Mr.. Davis's boy than on
the others, for, as he stated after he
was taken sick, the deafness would
last for half an hour. He was finally
taken with a dreadful pain in the
head, terminating in paralysis of one
side of the head and throat.

KU-KLUx IN NORTH ALABAMA

KU-KLUx IN North ALABAMA.-A
recent number of the Decatur Ala. J
Republican remarks:
"A more deplorable state of affairs
has seldom, if ever, existed in this
country than exists to-day. On Mon
day night last a band of mounted Ku-
Klux paraded our streets, and did US
great honor in calling on US and re-
questing US to leave the country in
three days, on pain Of death. Aaron
Upsaw, a colored man, was attacked,
and only saved his life by flight. AT
ter finishing their mission in our hith-
erto quiet little city, they proceeded
to the country, and at the dark hour
Of midnight, for no cause whatever,
brutally murdered James Stephenson,
a colored man residing a few miles
from this city,"

A colored youngster in Troy re-
ceived corporal punishment at the
hands of his ancestors, recently, be-
cause his kitten got his head in the
milk pitcher. The boy cut off the
head to save the pitcher, and then
broke the pitcher to get out the head.

In the time of Henry VIII, one who
was about to be burned to the stake
as hereto was saved by the interfe-
renee of "a friend on the plea that at
wasn't worth while to burn him, as he
was nothing but musician" The
reason was accepted as quite sufficient
and the prisoners life was spared.

Nelly.

Only little child,
Who sings all day in the street
Such a tuneless song
To an idle thrOng,
Who pity her shoeless feet;
y poor, pale, pretty child
With clothes so ragged and mean,
And a wild, weild face,
On which ne'er a trace
OF childhood's Joy can be seen.
Out in the damp, wet fog,
Out in the sleet and the rain,
Out when the cold wind
Sends its blast unkind
Through her again and again:
Out in the dreadful night,
By the hinge of the tavern door,
In hope as she sings
Ofthe pity that filings
Some ponce. on the eofstaincd floor
Mothers who pass her by,
Shudder with terrible fear,
Praying her fate may
Never be some day
That of their little ones dear;
Children who hear her sing
Stare at her features so wild,
Der her life ponder,
Thinking with wonder,
What, can she too be a child?
Out in the damp, wet fog,
Out in the sleet and rain,
Out when the cold wind
Sends its blast unkind
Through her again and again,
Brought up in Satan's school,
HelI's abyss falling in;
Is there no pity
In this great city
To save her from shame and sin?
