LoI The Poor Darkey |

The Tribune is honest for once
We are told in one of its late issues
that the notorious political and scien-
tfc bore, formerly one of its editors,
Solon Robinson, who inflicted himself
upon poor Florida, after laboring for
years to impoverish and ruin her by
his "isms," has just brought death
upon q poor niger down there, who,
true to the common animal instincts
of his nature, undertook to operate
upon some of Solon's real estate or
personal property. Here is the Trib-
une notice:
"Solon Robinson's house in Florida was attacked
by burglar the other night. Mr.. Robinson heard
him operating the front door, and when he saw
the point Of an auger come through the plank, he
fired. The burglar did not come any further but
the next morning the body Of a colored man, shot
through the bowels, was found in the woods"
We must be allowed TO say that the
Tribune shows signs of reform, in thus
giving plain, unvarnished tale of the
tragedy. But let us look at this case.
Solon, as VIC have said, was the most
insufferable bore north Of Mason &
Dixon's line. He crammed his agri-
cultural and his political sophistries
into the stupid noddles of thousands,
who have accepted them as scientific
facts. Poor Sambo had heard of him
ere, like pestilence, he visited Florida.
That unfortunate State had already
been cursed by Stowe" and when
Robinson" made bis appearance,
Sambo felt it his duty to "make for
him" with an augur, out of compli-
mcnt to Solon's reputation. Wemust
blame Mr.. Robinson for shooting the
poor niger through the bowels. He
could have accomplished his almost
instant death by a moro humane
method. As soon as he saw the point
of Sambos weapon through the door,
he should have opened it, and com
mcnced at once ono Of his essays upon
agriculture, and the poor nigger, thus
50 severely bored in return, would
have dropped dead in his tracks in
ten minutes.-Day Book.

The reports of the successes ofthe French
in recent operations will hardly gain cred
ence. They carry upon their face that
which prevents confidence in them, even
though they were not, as they have been,
contradicted. The general tenor of the
dispatches received leads to the conclusion
that the Prussians are steadily pushing for
ward their plans, and have met with no
reverses of any Importance. Not the least
of the difficulties under which the French
labor is the want Of an established govern
ment having the confidence of the people.
