SAVED BY HER HAIR.-We have all
along had the idea that the horrible
mass of hair worn on the top of lady's
head and known by the name of CHG.
non was like q pump without o handle,
neither ornamental nor useful. We take
back part of our utterances on that sub.
ject. They are not rnsmental-that's an
opinion fire could not roast out of us
but, in one case at least, they are useful.
A young lady whose extreme modesty
will only permit of our calling her
"Miss X,"-though she declared in this
case she was Miss Hap-was walking
along one of the icy pavements, when
down she came, striking her head on an
iron doorstep with SO much force as to
stun her for a few moments. Several
persons rushed to her assistance when
it was found that although she was not
hurt in the least, the sharp corner Of
the step had ruined the hair business
on the back of her head. Moral.-Al-
ways wear fat ehisnons during slippery
weather, or stay in tho house.

SEND Us THE MELIsHl

We have been handed the following
terrible account of the horrible doings
of the K. X. X. at Charleston, which is
the Capital which is in Kanawhs. Our
correspondent can be relied on this
time, as be never before, by any acct
dent, told the truth. We suppose it is
unnecessary for US to add that he is
strict party man and don't care who
carries the State next fall, and wouldn't
for the world prevent Coppernuts and
Butterheads and other disloyal critters
from being continued on the registry
lists. Our correspondent says:
CHARLESTON (Which is the Capital.)
DEAR W. have just succeeded in
recovering my scalp, which l lost in
running from the Kuklux. To be sure
if hada't got it back could have pnr-
chased another of the same kind IN the
same shop as that came from. But it's
big thing to save your scalp, especially
in this region, where they collect rev.
enue tax on hair.
There is but one conundrum asked in
this burg. 1t is, "Do you belong TO
Gideon's band" If you can't say yes,
don't come here, or the KukluI will 90
through you quicker than a streak of
creased lightning through rotten
pumpkin. Tell Governor Stevenson,
Jeemes Pipes, of Pipes vile, Black Dove
ner, Gineral Harris and all the other
State House barnacles to practice say
ing yes to this question before they
come here. Judge Ferguson didn't do
it, and the result is old Ferg amt near
as lively as he was yesterday. He's
hung. That shows these fellows dent
care cent for Judge or jury.
These Kuklux are all Democrats.
They want to carry the State next fall,
and they are going to do it by killing
off all the loyal element and turning all
the prisoners out of the Jail. This
will add to their votes here and else.
where in the State. CONFIDENTIAL
need not tell you that this is all
darned lie, but sling it in for effect.]
Their last outrage was to go TO the
Jail, open every cell, and then lock
themselves in. At precisely the same
time they broke into the bank and car
ried So, 100000 mile away. l won't
be sure now whether they carried 49,.
900 900 mile or one dollar 5000, 600 of
miles. You fix it up and publish which
ever story will have the most effect on
the elections.
The way the Charleston Kuklux
violate the Fifteenth Bedamnment is a
caution to Fred. Douglas, Sumner, Anna
Dickinson, Young of Pocahontas and
other celored persons of the neuter gen.
der. They 60 ito our restaurants and
order "nigger," raw, stewed, fried or on
the shell, as you do oysters: If this
isn't stopped, our supply of darkies
must run out and our Kuklux eventu-
ally 90 to eating US loyalists, as having
the delicious fragrance, Though tougher.

say, / send you copy of one of the bills
which one of the K X. X. secretly
pinned on to Fergusons coat tail. 1t
