KISSINGIN THE DARK.
An Innocent Mistake and what
Came of IL.
From the New ORLEANS Picayune.


In the romantic estimation of lovers,
there is nothing so delightful as kissing in
the dark. 1t seems to possess all the
charms which Imagination, enchanted by
reality, can produce. But mistakes will
sometimes happen. Occasionally the
hurry and excitement of the interview
does not permit that deliberate judgment
essential to certainty. 1t so happened
with Orville Davis few nights since.
Orville is youth of some nineteen sum-
mers, but being native of those aeFce
chimes 'where the cypress and myrtle are
emblems of deeds that are done in the
land, his passions are necessarily intense
and his affections profound. He loves a
little sewing girl residing in the family of
a Gascon. This gentleman is inclined to
be Jealous. He doesn't put the most CHART
able construction on everything he sees,
and hence Orville is very careful about
his visits to the house. But passing by
there the night in question, he found the
hall door open and saw dimly defined in
The moonlight female sitting on the
steps. Orvilic thought it was his dulcinca-
Without a moments hesitation Orville
gave QeI a CliilSJe ShluOe. Ills ups CIuuB
to hers thriningly, lovingly. Itmay have
been the sweetness of tit may have
been an overpowering sense of luxury-it
may have been surprise-but the lady
screamed. This startled Orville. He
looked searchingly into the lady's face,
and then awoke to the horror of his mis-
take. 1t wasn't the little sewing girl, but
the Gascon's wife. And just then, to still
further complicate the matter, the Gascon
rushed out of the house, demanding
"What this all meant"
Orville couldn't explain, but the lady
did. The GascOn made a rush at him,
and Orville fled, screaming at every jump
'Murder! help! fire."
In his rapid flight he gave but little at
tention to distractions in his path, and
finally, striking his foot against stone,
tumbled 20 the baBquette. 1t was a trying
moment. The Gascon was at bis heels
armed with wrath and bent on mischief.
The result might have been s4nguinsry,
but just at that moment Capt. Schroeder,
of the First police precinct, happened TO
pass and intcrpOsed to preventa homicide.
Both parties were taken into custody, and,
| arraigned before the recorder, explained
that the circumstance arose from a case
| of kissing in the dark.

beautiful town have seen in Middle Ten
nessee. 1t is said the Methodist Church
here numbers more members than all the
others combined. They are also abund-
antly able to support all the expenses of
the Church. The congregation is inteIli
gent and devoUt.
The Conference was occupied all day in
the examination of the character of elders.
The Virginia bishop managed to go
through the whole list with the exception
of few names. l verify believe he
means business.
Three venerable preachers have died

Mullens and John McCurdy. These all
died in the faith"

lent sermon this afternoon, and Rev.
James r. Plummer preached TO q vast
crowd to night. The revival interest
still keeps up. DR.. Anderson, of the
Florence University, is announced for to-
morrow at o'clock.
An able committee was appointed to-

bama Conference. DR., Green is chair

male institute and Florence Wesleyan

PULASKI, Oct. 7, 1S7O.-We received
no papers to-day. Your readers were
disappointed. All the news of Oct. we
have missed. The orators have occupied
our time to-day. l do not know when l
have heard so many good speeches. First
of all, DR.. Summers, representing the
publishing interests at Nashville, made a
capital speech in favor of the Southern
Methodist Publishing House. Then fol
lowed DR.. Anderson and DR.. Green in the
interest of the Florence Wesleyan Uni
versity. Afterwards came DR. Dauelly,
of Baltimore, ard Bishop Doggctt, con-
corning our new church building in Wash
ington City. DR.. Anderson preached at
8 o'clock and Rev. r. A. Holland at
night. The house was well filed for the
first, and overlooked for the last. The
"BOy Preacher" is a theOlogian as well as
an orator.
This will be remembered as the work.
