KA-FOOZLE-UM

In ancient days there lived a Turk.
horrid beast within the East
Who did the Prophets holy work
AS Saba of Jerusalem
ne mad daughter, sweet and smirk,
GW9;mhplexion W;1hp fair and dark blue hair;
WIN naught about her like Turk,
Except the name, Ka-foozle-um.
On! ka-foozle-umi Ka-foozle-uml Kafoozle-umi
OIL Ka-foozle-um, the daughter of the Baba!
A youth resided near to she;
His name was Sam, perfect lamb;
And came from old Methusalem.
He drove trade, and prospered well,
In skins of cats, and ancient hats;
And ringing at the Baba's bell
He saw and loved Ka-foozle- cum.
II Sam had been Mussulman,
He might have sold the Baba old,
And with a verse of Alcoran
Have managed to bamboozle him.
But, oh dear, mol he tried to scheme,
Passed one night late the area gate,
And stoleup to the Turks harem,
To carry off Ka-fooze-um.
The Baba was about to smoke;
His slaves rushed in with horrid din,
Come down, my lord, and toozle emi'
The Baba wreathed his face In smiles,
Came down the stair, and witnessed there
The gentleman in three old tiles
kissing of Ka-foozle-um.
The pi0us Baba said no more
Than twenty prayers, but went up stairs,
And took bow-string from drawer,
And came back to Kafoozle-um.
The maiden and the youth he took,
And chOked them both, and little 10th,
Together pitched them in the brook
or kedron, near Jerusalem.
And still, the ancient legend goes
When day is gone from Lebanon,
And when the eastern moonlight throws
shadow on Jerusalem,
Between the wailing of the cats,
sound that falls from ruined walls,
ghost is seen with three old hats
kissing of Ka-foozle-um.
Oh Ka-fOoZe UNI Ka-foozle UNI! Ka-foozle-um,
Oh ka-foozle-umi the daughter of the Baba.

handed it up, eager to pass through the
gates where she could see the musical
wave of the palm trees, and sparkle of
glittering tides that flow beneath the
shadow.
"Short by dollar, ma'am Short by
the single dollar you cheated the poor
seamstress out of. You cannot enter"
Mrs. Wharton then drew out a hundred
dollar bill. The grim Charon shook his
head
eff you had ten thousand it would not
do; nothing will serve our purpose but
that one dollar"
Charon turned the boat briskly around !;
Mrs. Wharton was just opening her lips to
utter wild cry of anguish, pleading, when
she awoke.
She shuddered; somehow the dollar had
assumed preternaturally very large dimen-
sions.
"Charlesl Charlesr' how welcome were
the footsteps of her husband upon the
stairs.
well, what is it?"
Have you dollar?"
"Half dozen of them if you want"
But only wanted one-just dollar
bill"
He gave it to her, and she Immediately
rang the bell.
JOhn, want you 10 put on your India
rubber cloak, and take his bill around to
Mrs. Leggett, and tell her it is what owe
her"
John departed, and Mrs. Wharton
breathed more easily
perhaps they will let me in the gates,
now" she said dreamily
MY dear, what do you mean?" de-
manded her astonished husband.
And Mrs Wharton told, him the story of
her days adventures, and the dream that
closed them.
Helen" said her husband gravely, 'let
this be a lesson to you, never to neglect
the just dues of the poor. A dollar is not
much to us-to them it may be the last
frail bulwark between them and starva-
ton"
But there was no danger of Mrs. Whar-
ton ever forgetting the lesson she had re-
ceived.

FOREIGN.

A Paris dispatch of the 18th says dele
gates from the Commune to Versailles had
returned with Thiers conditions, which
rendered the insurgents very violent.
Rochefort demanded that Vinroy, Gallipel,
Favre, Picard and Mcmahon should be
brought chained in couples to the Champs
Elysees, where the relatives of Nationals
killed should be allowed to do what they
please with them
Insurgent successes are reported at Paris
on the 18th.
According to cable dispatches of the
18th there was little change in the situa-
ton around Paris. The insurgents were
reported to be holding their own, and
Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-04-27

claimed that the situation was everywhere
satisfactory to them. A special from Paris
to the London Times of the 18th says it
was reported that the Prussians would in
tervene in the affairs of France in case the
Commune should be victorious over the
Versailles government.
A slight earthquake shock was felt in
Scotland on the morning of the 18th.
A dispatch from Versailles on the 10Th
says the Government troops had captured
and were occupying Asnieres, and had
driven the enemy across the Seine. The
insurgents admit having been repulsed at
Neuilly, but claim victories at Issy and
Clamart. A dispatch from Asnieres, Uia
Versailles on the 10Th, says the insurrec-
ton was falling to pieces.
A Paris dispatch of the Goth indicates
that the government forces were continual
ly gaining ground. The fighting at Neuilly
on the 18th and 10th was very fierce and
bloody. Before retreating the Nationals
set fire to number of houses in Neuilly,
and the inhabitants, hidden in the cellars,
being unable to extricate themselves, were
burned to death.
A Versailles dispatch of the Goth says
the Assembly had rejected a motion to
treat with the Paris insurgents.
A dispatch from Paris on the evening
of the Goth says: There has been des-
perate house to house fighting all day at
Neuilly and Levallois. The forces of the
Assembly have been reinforced at Neuilly,
but the artillery of the Communists de-
Tended with great tenacity the barricade
opposite the position of the Versailles
troops. The cannonading was incessant
throughout the day. The Versaillists have
not occupied the village of Asnieres, but
are entrenched at the railway station, and
in the Colonies woods. The fire of the
Versailles batteries greatly tried the Ma
tionals, but though they have suffered
heavy loss, they are still undaunted."
A manifesto issued on the Goth by the
Commune at Paris pronounces a compro-
mise with the Versailles Government i'm
possible, and closes with an appeal to
France to. disarm the troops then threaten
ing the capital.

A FOOLISH man, at Landisville, Pa, lost
5000 in government bonds by placing
them in window blind for safe-keeping.
He had previously cut off the coupons. A
sale of "a portion of his personal effects

chaser saw some papers wrapped up in the
blind, and gave them to his children to
cut up without ever looking at them. For
tunately it was discovered after $50
bond had been mutilated. The owner was
notified, and with commendable iberality
gave the finder fifty cents for his trouble.

was misled by false accounts furnished him
by a "ring"- of the members of the city

ficate of the correctness of the financial
books of the city. He says that at the
time neither he nor Messrs. Moses Taylor
and j. j. Astor had any idea that the comp
troller was cheat and fraud, and he
takes much blame upon himself for falling
into such trap.
The counsel for Tweed have served de-
murrer on Charles O'Connor that the
plaintiffs have not legal right to sue III the
action that the complaint does not state
sufficient facts constituting the cause Of ac-
ton (; and that the complaint is defective
by not including the mayor, aldermen, su-
pervisors and Commonwealth attorney
for the city as defendants.
The point raised is, that there is no legal
right of the people maintained in such an
action.
The official organ Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company states that the British
government has not commenced negotiations
for the purchase of the Atlantic Cable, and
no London syndicate has paid dollar for
the privilege of purchasing the cable within
ninety days. 1t says the proposition to
purchase the New York and New Found
land and London telegraph, whose lines are
in New Foundland, has not been enter
tanned.
Mayor Hall has stated he had Tweed's
resignation in his possession, conditional
upon the appointment of a gentleman re-
lated TO himself He has also rendered ap-
pointments of the successors to Sweeney,

parks, to Comptroller Green, considering
that as the Democratic reformers won the
victory they are entitled to Gil the offices
and direct party affairs.
The charges of election frauds in this city
are being investigated to-day.
Atiidavits have been taken by the COM
mittee of the Democratic Reform, showing

IN the first ward Startling developments

The commander of the Russian steamer
"Bogatire" reports that he experienced the
severest storm he has ever known after
parting company with the SHETLAND. The
missing vessel must have encountered fear
ful weather to be so long unheard of.
John Spanley, election inspector, and
John Campbell and Matthew McKanna,
poll clerks in Brooklyn, sixth ward, were
arrested to-day, charged with ballot-stuff-
ing. Others will also be arrested.
The government offers 81 900 reward for
the rearrest of Ballard, who escaped from
the Ludlow-Street Jail. Ballard is con
sidered the most dangerous counterfeiter in
the world.
Jay Gould, discovering that his bail, of
one million dollars. for Tweed is not legally
satisfactory, withdraws it. Others have
been substituted.

MARPER,s WEEKLY.

Ha,per's Weekly comes to us with The i'm
mutable pictures of Mast representing the
final overthrow Of Tammany, reminding
us of scenes in Miton's Pardise Lost.
Ha1per's adds to great resources in illus
tration, the noble aims and patriotic pur-
pose which consecrates power to the sacred
uses Of human progress and Christian civ
ilization. 1t deserves its great popularity.
AS an instrumentality in elevating and pu-
rifying the tone Of public thought upon all
questions, it is second to none in the land.
Ecey Saturday is about to relinquish its
character as an illustrated paper and re-
sume its original position as journal of
choice reading.o There is field here
which it can fill better than an unsuccess-
full rivalry with Ha1per's Weeh}y, whose
prominence as an illustrated paper pre-
cludes serious competition. We confess
that we were more attracted to Ere1y Sat
Wday in its earlier dress than in its latter
appearance, and welcome its return to a
sphere where it was always delightful As
to Ha,pey's, it has several adjuncts which
give it an Incompatible advantage in its
own field. In the first place, its polit-
cal department, under the direction
of Mr.. Curtis, is always thoughtful,
strong and weighty. There are no finer
discussions of public affairs than those
which come from his graceful pen. In the
second place, the cartoons Of Mast are
host in themselves. The greatest of carl
caturists, he has had the greatest oil oppor-
tunties in the Tammany exposures, and
has employed it with consummate genius
and power. His portraitures, so brilliant
in their conception, so vivid in their execu-
ton, SO direct and pointed in their object,
so matchless in all their artistic details,
have constituted the most remarkable
series Of political sketches ever developed.
Haper's has achieved wonderful success.
and has fully deserved it.

Il Story for What tits Worth.

LoatstaHe, Nov. 17.-The Comfer-Jou,-
nal tomorrow will publish startling letter
from the South, which states that q society,
strong in numbers and wealth, has been or
ganized, with the object of the importation
of negro ruffians into the Northern States.
The letter is very positive and specific, and
says the plan is to furnish such negroes as
are dangerous in our community with the
means OF getting away, requiring them to
60 north Of the Ohio.
The society is opposed to ku-Klux. 1t
claims that it has a right, in the absence of
local justice, denied by the general govern
ment, to get rid of its murderers and ma
rauders by money. It, is alleged that the
increase of negro criminals in the North in
the last three months is the result of the
operations of the society.
In a double-leaded leader, the Courier
JopWat discourages the movement as re-
vengelul and dangerous, and advises instead
the education of the negro.
