A distinguished parsonage, Lord Rad.
nor, had fondness for letting the blood
(at the point of an amicable lancet-not
hostile sword) of his friends. But his
lordship, far from accepting a fee, was
willing to remunerate those who had the
courage to submit to his surgical care.
Lord Chesterfield wanting an additional
vote for a coming division in the House
of Peers, called on Lord Radnor, and
after a little Introductory conversation
complained Of distressing headache

Lord Radnor: "Gad-do you indeed

most skillful surgeon. Delighted at
the compliment, Lord Radnor in trice
pulled out his laneet-case, and opened a
vein in his friends arm. "By-the-by,
asked the patient, as his arm was being
adroitly bound up, do you go down to
the House to-day2' :" had not intended

question which is to be debated; but you,

field unfolded his view Of the case; and
Lord Radnor was so delighted with the
reasoning Of the man (who had held his
surgical powers in such high estimation), },
that he forthwith promised to support
the willy Earl's side in the division. 81

elbowed his way SO rapidly toward her.
And then, as he drew close and dropped
those everlasting portmanteaus, she just
turned completely round, with her back
toward him, and covered her face with
her hands. And thus she was when the
strong man gathered her up in his arms
as if she had been baby, and held her
sobbing to his breast. There were

again he had his hat drawn down over

him, and it seemed as if the pent-up

A Chew of Tobacco sends a Man 90
the Penitentfary.

From the Paterson Guardian.l a IU
A chaw" has sent man to the PEN
itentiary. 1t seems that a registered
letter which had been forwarded to Chi
cago from one of the country postoffices
was tampered with at some point on the
route. Upon arriving at the place of
destination, five 500 bills which ought
TO have been in the envelope were
not to be found. The matter was put
in the hands of a skillful detective for
investigation. Upon soaking the enve-
lope he discovered where it had been
opened and resealed. He then examin-
ed the muoilage with microscope, and
saw that small particles of plug tobacco
adhered to the paper.
At once the officer resolved to track
through the various Offices, and see who
of the Government employees had hand
led letters, chewed plug. For some time
the case looked Ike a hopeless one.
The post-ofiice clerks in the rural dis
tricts nearly all chewed the fne-cut.
Finally, at the very Office in which the
letter was mailed, the postmaster offered
the official some plug, in response to
request for a chew, and, as the unfor-
tunate official was bent upon his own
recrimination, he remarked that "he
had never chewed anything else but
plug.
Upon this statement the detective ran
the risk and arrested the surprised coun-
tryman, not for chewing plug tobacco,
but for robbing the United States mail
Upon searching the Office, the missing
bills we're found well folded up in an
daguerreotype case. The
dishonest postmaster is filling an en-
gagement at the Illinois penitentiary.

The Senate has followed the example of the
House, and ordered a Committee to investi-
gate the appeals for help, the cries for protec-
ton, the stories of wrong and outrage which
are heard in the South, and find out, if they
can, what they mean. The Senate resolution
takes another shape and constitutes Joint
Committee of seven Senators and nine Repre-
sentatives, and is yet to go to the House, where,
if adopted, it will supersede the resolution pre-
viOusly adopted. 1t is evident, from the
refusal of the House to permit MIR.
Butler to introduce his more stringent bill,
that no positive action is to be taken, and that
the appointment of this Joint Commission Is
the best that can now be done. We do not
think highly of the plan. The Committee will
sec nothing the ku-Klux have certainly man
aged TO hide themselves, though they can
not conceal their evil work. The Com
mittee will hear little at the South, for few
witnesses will dare to come forward openly

which they have created is "A certain protection
