The two following pieces were received by us
last week The former with the caption mean
ing the three most wicked KS had the three
words Tria Kappa Kakista written in Greek
characters, which we were unable to publish as
written as our Office is not supplied with Greek
letters. We therefore substitute the English let
tiers for the Greek. These pieces, we mean the
one headed tx K K" and ''Tria Kappa Kakis-
ta," reached us in mysterious way, and we sup
pose they are the productions of Ku-Klux, if
there be such beings, about which we have Craze
doubts.
Tria Kappa Kakista.
Of the scallawags not trace will be found
OF the black and-tans few will be left above
ground,
When the K K. KS. utter their three signal
means,
And rafting is heard in the field of dry bones
Invisible now and mysterious they move
In myriads, and in the bright moonbeams they
love
Their meetings to hold and their armor to try :,
From which mortal weapons all harmless SNAIL
fly. AA
Cheer up, ye oppressed for the time is at hand
At home and abroad on the sea, on the land,
Your delverers shall rise in the fulness OF power,
Then woe to the oppressors-cut short In their
hour.
Remember the times. read them right by the
moon,
Remember the sign of the grip at nights noon,
Remember the darkness the death and the grave,
Remember the K. K. KS. powerful and brave
This motto-oppressors, we warn you construe,
T5-ia Kappa Kakista- this warnings for you;
To you too, oppressed, we say, list tor the means
Rejoice when you hear the loud rafting OF bones

last evening, resolution was offered
directing the removal of huge piles of
dirt and rubbish fromcthe sidewalks at
the corner of Broad street and Railway

Councilman Lyon stated that, al
though some attempts had been made
to open a path, at the present time it
was only with great difficulty that per-
sons could pass the new building n
that point.
Councilman Cowell stated that the
sidewalks were badly INSTRUCTED in 9TH
er places. At Broad and Grand streets
especially, pedestrians had hard road
to travel. He contended that it was
proper that all our sidewalks should be
kept clear, and offered Il substitute for
Councilman Lyons resolution, which
was adopted. The Street Commission
