Good Negro Sense.

The editor of the Maysville (Tenn. Re-
publican, the only paper in that State ed
tied and published by colo1ed man, in O
recent article says of the Radicals:
They are men who want office; are ma
licious and want revenge; people who want
to increase the colored mans enemies, and
make break in the friendship now exist
ing between the negro man and his late
owners. They are the demagogues, un-
principled and corrupt politicians men
who Eant an army of soldiers to saddle
more expense upon our State, in order to
do their dirty work under bayonet protec-

entreat the men of our race not to be blind

A LamenrabIe Affair

A heart reuding occurrence took place
a few days ago III Montgomery county,
Md. A young lady, of the most respect,
able family and possessed of considerable
means was engaged to be married to a
gentleman in the neighborhood, but the
match was opposed and prevented by her
family. The LADY threatened revenge for
their unkindness. and few weeks ago
carried her threat into execution in ter
rible manner, by clipping with a negro
man formerly a slave of one of the farmers
in the vicinity. Nothing was heard Of her
until few days ago, when her family re-
celved letter from some town in Massa-
chusetts informing them that she had
married the negro. The sad affair has
plunged large circle of friends and rela-
tons in the deepest gloom and SORROW
For many and obvious reasons we withhold
the name of this unfortunate and misguided
young lady.-Ellicott City Times.

The editor of he "Freeman's Journal, "
alluding to the recent terrible hail storm
in Philadelphia, says:
ga friend, long resident in Buenos
Ayres. where all kind of furious convul-
sions are in order, assures us of two facts.
One is, that the old Cathedral bell, that
echoes all over the city, is rung at every
approach of storm. The other fact is,
that while there are enough of tempests
all around, the city of Buenos Ayres is ex-
empt from disasters OF the kind. The
service. az it stands. attributes this power
to blessed bells over the spirits of the air.
We believe the words of the service for
blessing bells are true. We donot like to

and board by Mrs. Louisa Koecker, as
libellant, against her husband, DIR. Leon
ard r. Koecker, the we'll known dentist
They both belong to fine families, and the
lady is said to have lately fnllen heir to
$50 600 in her own right. The parties
have been married twenty four years, have
lived most happily together until short
time since, and have three children-two
daughters and d son. the daughters being
at a convent school in Boston. The prin-
eipal accusation made By Mrs. Koecker
against the Doctor were those of infidelity
to his marriage vow; that he was of i'm
moral habits. having his study adorned
with improper statuettes and pictures, and
is of immoral character. The Doctor de-
MES all these charges, and alleges that the
suit originated in dispute as to the pro-
perty of the family which he claims to have
paid for, hut which was made over to his
wife at a time when he was in debt. He
wished it to be reconveyed to him, and
she refused. and there was no end 70 do
nestle contention, resulting in a separa-
ton and this suit.
