places with a large knife. While this
struggle was going on, Parsons got hold

ing a severe, but not fatal wound. He
then succeeded in getting Smith q

In the late township elections in
Ohio and elsewhere the negroes, al
though entitled TO vote, were refused
the franchise. In consequence of this
fact, the judiciary committee of the
House has agreed to report bill, by
virtue OF the second section of the Fiji
teenth Amendment, imposing fine and
imprisonment upon all officials or other
persons who shall do any act of what
ever character to prevent a colored man
from exercising the same right at the
ballot box that the white man enjoys
and any Official who obstructs the ex-
ercise of the elective franchise by re.
fusing to receive the votes OF colored
men, or keeping them away from the
polls, shall be fined and imprisoned by
the U. S. courts, while the injured par.
ty can also bring civil action. This Il

A New story On Tom Corr
win.

Don Piatt, In one of his Washing
ton letters relates the following anec.
dote illustrating the politeness and
humor Of the late Tom Corwin, of
Ohio:
He arrived at Dayton, Ohio, late
one night, very tired from n long
stage ride during the day. The great
humorist and statesman retired To
bed, observing rs he did so that some
one occupied another bed In the op-
posite corner. The Honorable Tom
was soon fast asleep, and snoring tre.
mendously. The other traveller bore
this infliction as long as human en-.
durance could do, aud then he sang
out:
"Oh! sir, sir, SIR"
"Hello, hello" cried Tom, sitting
up wildly In bed 1; "what Is the mat.
ter?n
"Oh! sir" exclaimed the sufferer,
"you snore, SIR"
"Did snore ?" demanded Corwir..
us II possible? i really beg pardon,
SIR"
And SO saying, he dropped asleep
N"tNest' hSN "Shha thN AhoA
ing went on.
The poor man in the next bed
again complained.
"Sir, sir; OIL SIR"
81 say, what is it?" responded Cor.
win.
You are snoring again, SIR"
"Why, really, sir, / am ashamed
of myself; / beg q thousand pardons
for impoliteness."
Aad again the Senator sought re-
pose; but the snoring was worse than
ever, and the sufferer once more call
ed attention to the otfense.
Look here, SIR" cried the Senator,
"you have wakened me up three
times, and twice / have apologized,
| what more can gentleman ash ?
Now am tired and sleepy, and II
you disturb me again, why damn IL,
I'll brain you with boot Jack"

On the express train of the Chi
cago, Pittsburg and Fort Wayne road,
on Friday, while the train was ap-
preaching Plymouth from the east
the express car took fire and burned
the conductors cord, so that the mes
senger could rot communicate with
the conductor. The car was nearly
filed with light millinery goods. and
the contents burned rapidly, the
messenger being obliged to hang up
on the outside OF the car to prevent
being smothered. At Plymouth the
train was stopped and the flames ex-
tinguished, but not until goods to the
value of from $4,000 to $50. 900 had
been destroyed.

THE SOCIAL ELEMENT IN
CHuRCHEs.-The Methodist insists
on the Importance of recognizing
and providing for the social element
IN religious organizations. 1t thinks
IL helps the spiritual. 1t contrasts
churches that are sociable with those
that are not, and finds the former
far more efficient:
'Some of our churches we are glad
to notice, are now built with Church
parlors,' a phrase which need not
convey the idea of stiffness and orna-
mentation, for these parlors are
meant to be used, and If used right,
may be made of great service to the
church. Here the ladies may meet
to sew for the poor; here the church
'sociable' may be held, where young
and old, rich and poor may meet to-
gether and cultivate Christian friend
ship. We have known churches
where members have never become
acquainted with each other, though
engaging In the same religious SER
vices every Sunday for years. They
enter by different doors, and ST on
opposite sides of a large building,
and do not recognize each other
when passing i'm the streets. Any
church ought to be ashamed of such
state of things as this, and ought
to welcome any plan which produces
a healthy change. A church parlor,
where all can meet and get acquaint~
ed, will obviate the difficulty.

EnterprisinE Reporters.

The competition of reporters for EEK.
elusive" bits of local news is as ener.
getic In England as ID is I'm this coun.
try. In one instance a reporter had
very nearly got into trouble by his
zeal. He lived mile or so out of
town, and on one side of the road,
for considerable part of the way,
was thick grove. ..- ~
As he was returning home late one
night, after having seen the paper to
press, he observed that one Of the
trees near the roadside had an unusu.
oil appearance. Going within the
fence, he discovered that the BODY of
q man was suspended from one of the
branches. Hurriedly cutting IL down
he drew the body into a part of the
grove where the underground was
thick, intending to conceal it. This
done, he went home. Next morning
he was taken into custody on u charge
of wilful murder. and brought before
o magistrate. A game~keeper, going
through the wood at early daylight,
had discovered the body In Its place
Of conceaiment, and some other per-
son remembered that about midnight
he had seen the reporter issue from
the grove. The case was suspicious
until constable, searching the
pockets of the dead man, discovered
written statement containing his
name and place Of abode, and declar-
ing that domestic misfortune had
made life so unbearable that he had
resolved to commit suicide. OF
course the reporter was discharged.
His explanation was to the effect that
finding such a fine bit of "local' as
this too late for his own paper, he
had concealed the corpse IN order
that the rival journal, which was to
appear the next day, should not profit
by the news. But for the suicides
confession, pretty strong case of
circumstantial evidence mi!ht he
made to the peril of the knight of
the pen. .-..
Another of this class entered the
editorial room In an excited manner
and with rapid steps. "A capital nc.
cident !" he exclaimed. About ten
minutes ago my mother-in.law tum-
bled down stairs aud broke her neck.
| have desired them to say nothing
about IL To the neighbors until morn
ing, so that we shall have 1t exclu-
sively for our paper" His heart was
in his calling, undoubtedly.-Shetton

COMPUTING INTEREsT.--An ex-
change gives the following rule for
computing interest which it says is
30 simple and SO true that every
banker, broker, merchant or clerk,
should post it up for reference.
There being no such thing as frac-
tions I'm it, there are scarcely any liza
bility to error or mistake. By no
other arithmetical process can the
desired information be obtained In so
few figures:
Six per fcent.-Multiply any given
number of dollars by number of DAYS
of interest desired, separate the right
hand figures and divide by sixty
the result is the true interest on such
sum for such number of days at six
per cent.
Eight per cent.-Multiply any Civ
en- amount 10y the number of days
upon which Ii il desired to acertain
