= One chap has been kicking up a terrible rum

dence-sometimes two make their appearance.
The fact that two have been present lately at the
same time, is evident from the fact that heavy
rapping was heard one night on either side Of the
house lfront and rear) at the same time. Glass
have been knocked out. and rocks thrown into the
house, and the family annoyed In various ways,
almost nightly, for sometime past. qlst

they determined instead Of firing upon him, to
open the door suddenly. and try. il possible, to
seize him. They therefore opened the door, and
sprang toward him-as quick IS thought he gave

They might as well try to catch a deer. - 4
This is one Of the strangest affairs on record
The house has been guarded for year. One or
two men during this time, have been seen or
heard in and about the house, hundreds Of times
annoying the family-they have been shot at re-
peatedy. Indeed one Of them has as much dar-
ing as II is possible for any human being to
possess. The escapes from death he has made,
and is still making, are mysterious and almost
Another mystery is, what can be the object Of
these visits? Why should man, night after

The Life snd Death OF Meade ssohn and his
Sister.
IFrom Alrsr's Friendships o. women

From Alger's Friendships OF Women
The union Of Felix and Fanny Mandelssohn was
something wonderful, like the wonderful genius
of sensibiliiy and music. which endowed them
both. Such pure, tender and noble souls are
made for each other. The more fervid and ex-
acting bonds OF marriage and parentage did not
interfere with the profound sympathy in which
they lived, both when together and when apart.
They cerresponded in music. Their emotions,
too deep and strange to be conveyed in words.
Ike articulate tnoughts, they expressed in tones.
Seating themselves ct their instruments, they
would for hours carry on an Intercourse
perfectly Ineligible to each other, and
more adequate and delicious than any vocal con-
versation. When Felix, at Naples, at Rome, or
in London, sent to Fanny letter composed In
notes, she translated II first with her eyes, then
with her piano. The.most charming transcripts Of
these afectionate and musical souls were thus
made In music. Sweeter or more dlyinely gifted
beings have rarely appeared on this earth. Their
beneath the reach of intellectual consciousness
They seemed able to communicate tidings through
the ethereal medium by some subtle telegraphy
Of feeling, which transcends understanding,
and belongs to q miraculous region OF life.
For when Fanny died in her German
suddenly aware Of some terrible calamity, from
the disturbance Of equilibrium and dread sinking
Of his soul, rushed to the piano and poured out
bis anguish IN an improvisation OF waiing and
mysterious strains, which held the assembly
spell bound and Ia tears. In few days letter
reached him, announcing that his sister had died
at that very hour On receiving the tidings ne ut
tered q shrek, aud the shock was so great as to
burst blood vessel in his brain. Life had no
charm potent enough TO stanch and heal the
cruel laceraton left in bis already falling frame by
this sundering blow. The web Of torn hbrils bled
sister to world Of finer melody, fitted Tor natures
like theirs.

wreck of the steamer Josephine.
The Galveston Bulletin SAYS:

The Galveston Bulletin says:
. It'll with much regret that we announce the
wreck of this fine new steamer. The Josephine,
which touched at the central wharf with party
of excursionists, is now a wreck on the north
breakers of Padre Island. She went on shore on
the 6ih instant, breaking her steam pipe she
struck. Her passengers were landed, and a Mex
Jean messenger started on horseback for lndanola.
He rode day and night, and accomplished the
journey in three days. The steamer Harlan was
at the wharf, and the Austin in the harbor, where
she had sought refuge from the storm. The Har-
Ian Immediately took the message TO the Austin,
which as promptly started TO assist the wreck.
The weather was very heavy, and il is feared that
s. suffered great injury during the four days that
elapsed before the Austin reached her. We do
not, of course, know what amount of priysti on
and hardship has been encountered by the excur-
sion party, which included number OF young
ladies'. They will probably soon arrive on the
Austin. The Josephine was the finest OF all the
Morgan steamers. She was perfectly new. and
cost $3.50 600. on which, we believe, there is no
insurance She was under the command Of Capt.
Lockwood.

Leaving behind
The same dull hum
Like mnfied drum
IL grows more loud,
Fastening the crowd.
And now, through all the street,
There is the sound OF feet,
And breaking through the air
A strange, une earthly blare.
While from the distance swells
The toll of monster bells,
Whose voice, as thunder loud,
Guides the fast hurrying crowd.
Now from its novels and its holes,
The city pours its thousand souls
Each eager in the race TO gaze
Upon the fast devouring blazel
Each tapping up, with hungry eyes,
The flames that sweep the midnight skies
Each hercely striving for the van,
To feast upon q ruined man.
At last, through filth and rime the spot is found.
And gaping thousands fiIl each inch of ground.
Each reckless ruffian dashes thro' the throng.
Seeking by force TO thrust his way along,
While At your feet the playful, bursting hose,
Soeks through your boots and vets your neither

And overhead some wrongly angled stream

And every licking tongue destroys q human home.
The hearthstone, where their fathers sat- the dream

The spot SO often hallowed by their smiles and

Where they were born and wed, and where they
hoped 10 die,
They see the flames and cinders on the angry sky.
They stand unshelaered in the street, to lose their

And see hoOting-jibing crowd enjoy the fall.
Huzza the iercest flames are done, the sturdy
walls are down;
No longer glare they on the sky to frighten all the
town.
The clsng of engines, one by one, falls of upon
the ear.
And putting steamers cease to blow their whistles,
shrl and clear.
The hremen rest upon their work, or gossip round
in groups;
Some seated on their loved machines, and some on
neighboring sto0ps.
They wait for orders from their chief, "Take up
and homeward go;
Once more we've conquered in the strife our old,
persistent foe"

IGNORANCE, PASSION AND PREJUDICE

IGNORANCE, PASSION AND PREJUDICE.
The following appears in a series of
resolutions published in the New Orleans
Times Of yesterday, purporting co have
been unanimously adopted at a meeting of
the Tiger Club, a Democratic organization
of this city:
WHEREAS, This club, composed of more
than 500 voters, view with indignation the
course pursued by our City Council, in sub
hitting to the nefarinus exactions of the
infamous so-called Legislature, lin the
matter Of public printing!, without resort
ing to every lawful means of resistance.
Whereas, 1t is well known that the Radi-
cal party of this State il composed exclu-
sively of unprincipled adventures, do
nestle thieves and ignorant negroes; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we consider all persons
OF this community, whether members of
the Council or not, who voluntarily sffi-
Late and exchange courtesies with them, as
being tainted with suspicion and unworthy
OF the confidence Of the people.
What we have to say of those who uttered
the above we do not say Of the people of
the South. Men who use such language
represent nothing but their own ignorance,
and the inherent viciousness Of their politi-
cal and moral depravity. The intelligent
and respectable men of the South are only
responsible in SO far as they have descend
ed to meet and mingle with class whose
conduct is degrading, whose society is con-
Eliminating. Many educated and refined
Southerners, in the heat of political pas
sion and in the madness of ambition, were
led into rebellion. In the preparation of
the offense they we're forced into associa-
ton with this low, ignorant set, with whom
they would otherwise never have affiliated
These men now assume to dictate the tone
of public opinion in such language as we
have quoted. As those whom they honor
by stigmatizing hold them in supreme con-
tempt, so all of the decency of the South
treats them with derisiva scorn.
1t were waste of time to argue with men
who write or speak thus; to be polite
would be to cast pearl before swine. They
understand not the language Of reason /;
they know nothirg Of the common ameni-
ties OF life in this age of modern civiliza-
ton. Thrown to the surface by the dis
turbances Of revolution these men are not
ft to be heard in public, and only live to
disgrace the society ia which they move.
When our city and State are purified of
this element, when 1t sinks back into its
proper insigniHcance, then will there dawn
an era of peace when intelligence and
loyalty will be respected. Then will the
councils of political parties be led by men
actuated by something more than ignorance,
passion and prejudice. ao
