From the hlCnnOnu EuQu ~
We have been told of an incident at
the African church in this city on Sun
day last, which deserves to be recorded
If only for the fun of the thing: 1t
seems that a considerable number of
Northern people, following the example
OF Forney, are visiting the South to
spy out the land" and large proper
tion of them, unlike Forney, take Rich
mOnd in their trip. Lat .erly we have
observed quite a multitude of Northern
people sojourning with Darlington, the
popular proprietor of the Exchange
Hotel, which hotel, by the way, they
seem to prefer in order that they may
see something of that Southern SOcie
ty" for which it is famous.
But to our story. Whenever these
Northern people happen to lay over IL
Richmond on Sunday they make apoini
of going to the old African church OIL
Broad street, where they can witness
the devotions of tho imam and brother
Seats are set apart ut the African
church, we are told for the accOmmOda.
ton of those white visitors, where they
are kindly permitted to be spectators
without too close a proximity to the
"dusky race" At the African church
they "hand around the hat" especially
to the visitors, aud moreover ask the
name of the contributor whenever q
contribution is made.
Last Sunday, we are told, party OF
these visiting Yankees from the Ex-
change went to the church in question,
and among them a gentleman whose
name unfortunately happened to be
Sumner. Unfortunately, also, he was
from Massachusetts,. In due course of
the proceedings at the church, the hat
was handed to Mr.. Sumner by sable
deacon.
"What name :" asked the sable Of
fetal.
Sumner" replied the unfortunate
gentleman of that name.
"Whar from y asked the man and
brother"
massachusetts" was the reply.
At this the eyes of the sable deacon di-
lated to the size of saucers, and his whole
frama quivered like a frog that had
csughfa flounder. He went forthwith
to the preacher, who, like himself, was
a coal black negro and informed him
that "MasSa Chawles Sumner, from
Massachusetts,, was wild dem white folks
back dar by de door"
The black preacher left the pulpit,
came out to "de white folks" and find
ing out the gentleman, whose name, I'M
fortunately, was Sumner, he seized him
by the hand, and pokiug forward his
burly head and mushroom mouth, i'm
printed kiss upon his lips-"right in
his mouth p says our informant-and
gave such other indications of his JOY as
only Cushite can.
At this proceeding "the gentleman
from Massachusetts, whose name I'M
fortunately was Sumner, became exceed
ingly indignant and left the church.
We have no comments TO make upon
this occurrence. We tell it as twas
told to us-i trae story.

A Remarkable Affair in 81. Louis.

From the Missouri Republican March l6l
A day or two since, the wife of a
prominent and well-known citizen left
her residence after dinner, for walk on
Washington avenue. Being in search
of a particular house on this street,
with the exact locality of which she was
unacquainted, the lady proceeded rath'
er more slowly than usual, scanning
the numbers as she went along. While
thus engaged she noticed carriage a
short distance in the rear, whose move
msnt seemed to keep pace with hel
own. Supposing that it contained some
invalid whose strength wouldnet admit
of rapid motion, she thought nothing
of the circumstance, and continued heI
promenade until she found herself De-
yond tho desired point, and began to
retrace her steps. The street at this
place is somewhat secluded, and there
fore favorable for the Internal plot
which now developed itself
The carriage was stopped, the door
flung open, a man leaped out, and seiz-
ing the lady endeavored to force her into
the vehicle. Although terribly excited
and alarmed, the intended victim made
a most vigorous resistance. Her screams
were stifed by the fingers of the ruttian
upon her mouth, bat she succeeded in
snatching her hands from his grasp and
waving a handkerchief. This signal of
distress, aud the struggles of the par
ties, attracted the attention of two col
ored men, who were just turning a cor
ner near by, and they Immediately rush
ed to the rescue. On their approach the
scoundrel released his hold at once,
Jumped into the hack, and was driven
away at full speed. The lady expert
enced no injury, except in slightly
disordered apparel and a very bad
fright.
The ultimate designs of the perpetra-
tor of this outrage can not, of course,
be certainly known.
