Ku-KIux Joke at Columbia,

~
A few nights since an exceedingly
lengthy Ku.klux with horrid black cowl
covering his ugly features, stepped into the
bsr-room Of hotel at Columbia, and walk
ing up to the counter, called hoarsely for a
draught of "Robinson straight. The
landlords son, who sat doing by the fire,
suddenly reused by the graveyard tones,
started up and throwing his eyes npon the
ghonl-like figure, at once recognized who
he had to deal with. Stalking toward the
cemetery chap he draweled out in measured
and meant-to- be-in-an-impressive tone:
do you know, Mr.. Ku-klux, that have
in my pocket an order from Gov. Brown
low to shoot you down ?"
In terribly hollow voice, that sounded
like an echo from an empty coffin, the
statue-like Ku-klux slowly replied as he
raised long finger meaningly:
"MortaI the KuKlux fears no man p
At this the landlord son began fumbling
nervously about his clothing as if for re-
volver, when the death-like silence was
suddenly broken with a furry of wind as
if a moaning tempest had been met by a
counter-tempest, andsix stalwart klansmen,
masked and robed, stood before them, hav-
ing to all appearances sprung from the solid
floor beneath.
The young man wilted. His hands
dropped nervelessIy to his side, but quick
ly rallyiug, he looked up and laughed, and
disarmed the whole party by calculating,
"Well, boys, / think we'd all better take a
drinkp To this the jovisl crowd cor
daily assented, and having drank to the
health of the young landlord, and the de-
struction Of Brownlow's order, they left
the place.

MORE LYNCH LAW IN MAURY.
A Negro Rarn- burner Taken Ont and
Hanged.

Negro RarE- burner b0AeH Oit ana
Hanged.
Lynch law seems to have become the or
der of the day now in Maury county, and
swift Justice is melted ont TO every offender
whom the slow process of civil law 10 likely
never to reach. There is no pardouiag
machine in Marry, and as much as the
present system of melting punishment is
to be deprecated, it must be admitted that
it is but the legitimate result of permitting
murderers and horsetheives TO go Rcotfree
after serving few months in the peniten-
tiary. whats the use Brownlow'll par
don him." has become hackneyed in Ten
nessee, and it no wonder that Lynch law
should be resorted to.
In the early part of last week, a large barn
belonging to James Booker, who lives near
Columbia, was set on fire by a negro, and
building with all its contents was con-
sumed. Several horses and mules and three
hundred barrels of corn, were among the
property destroyed On Tuesday night a
party of men seized the negro, and hurry
ing him off TO a tree, adjusted a rope about
his neck and hanged him from a stout limb
until he was dead, then left the corpse
swinging in the wind as a warning to all
evil doors in future. Who the lynchers
were, has not transpired, and nothing
definite is known in regard to them.

EAsTEE-The festival of the resnrrec-

throughout the land to-day in the Protes-
tant Episcopal aud Catholic Churches. The
term Easter Is involved in some mystery,

and derivation. 1t is generally believed
10 have grown ont Of the Saxon words, orter
osten, which signifies rising, because it is
the lime the flowers wake from their
wintry sleep and look out with velvet eyes
upon waning nature. Asthe flowers heard
the voice Of Spring and came forth to a
new life, so the Saviour, heard the voice Of
his Father and rose from the tomb. There
is no established day Of the month Cor
Easter. Ii may come as early az March p,
or as late as April Is. In the olden times
Easter was a festive occasion in England.
In the northern counties OF England on
Easter Sunday, the men parade the streets
