Negro Testimony in Kentucky

long iimo stood alone among the Democratic pa
pers Of Kentucky in the advocacy of the admis
sou Of negro testimony in the Courts, in re-

"Assuredly when We remember tho outrage.

desperate effort to correct the solution of his

IN his last effort. however, there Is evidence
Of improvements In his first solution lie
had three errors, while in the last he rests
his case on one. In his first solution he

he returns to \ his 5000, ard pockets $500

We'll, he has taken us at our word, but we
did not then contemplate the possibility that
in case he returned A his 5000, that he
would Immediately turn around and pocket
$500 of B's money, Notwithstanding he was
more able to stand it than A. We, of
course, fully entertained the belief that if
public opinion compelled him to return to A
his money, that he would assuredy act hon

ashore, disrobes in our presence, and his coat,
pants, vest, watch, pocket-book, all are per-
fectly dry, and he very comfortable. He
claims many advantages over other life pre-
servers among which, | mention, as the most
prominent that his keeps him perfectly
warm in the severest weather and the coolest
water He can carry enough provisions to
last several days, and so long as these and
fresh water last lie is in no danger of perish

with his harness on, and draws quite crowd
to witness his exploits in the water.
President Grant has cottage about three
miles from here, down the beach, but have
not had the pleasure of seeing him yet.
Jim Fisk, Jr's, Band and Regiment are ex-
pected tomorrow to draw a crowd at the Con-

take place there in the evening.
Old Ocean is still the same. The waves
come and CO. beating against the sand as
restlessly as they have for thousands of years
All up and down the beach are evidences of
their work, that tell sad tales of loss, suffer-
ing and death, to those who listen 10 the story.
Nearly III front of Continental, lie the re-
mains of hull, half buried in the sand, while,
further down the beach, the records of more
fearful wreck are not so easily found. The
ship struck about two hundred Yards from
shore, and was soon lashed to pieces by the
waves There were seven hundred migrants
on board, over five hundred of whom per-
ished. Those who saw it, say it was heart
rending sight to see the poor victims clinging
to the ropes and loudly calling for help, while
each wave swept dozens of them into the ocean
and eternity.
1t was supposed that the captain ran the
vessel ashore on purpose, as it was insured for
a large amount, and was comparatively worth
less. What is too bad for such man? He
saved himself but disappeared as soon as he
reached land, and has never been heard of
since.
| 1t is pleasant and inrigorating to sit in the
summer houses that line the beach, and watch
the ships that come and go continually, and
| listen to the roar of the surf and breathe the
salt air as it comes fresh from the water.
Every breath seems to bring with it health
and strength, and can advise all who feel de-
! biitated from overwork this warm weather to
come down here for few DAYS, and will As
sure them, they will go home thoroughly and,

Zoe Lobdeli and Wife-Their
History. sc.

FRIEND SCHocH Much has been said
and written lately concerning two dilapidated
specimens of humanity, who have been wan
dering about through this region of country
for nearly three years, and who have been
representing themselves as man and wife, and
call themselves joseph Israel Lobdell and Mrs.
Lobdell.
As the people of this county generally have
been desirous of learning something of their
history, | will endeavor to relate it as near as
| could ascertain it..
1t appears that they first turned up in Jack
son township, where they were arrested on a
charge of vagrancy, and committed to the
County Jail. After having remained in charge
of the keeper of the prison for some time, they
were discharged after which they came to
Barret township, where they remained for
about year, when they we've again arrested and
taken to Jail. 1t appears, however, that before
they were arrested, Joe" had written to his
parents informing them OF his Whereabouts.

Letter from Long Branch.
LONG BRANCH, Aug. 4th, 1871.

Lung DRANCH, Aug. 4tn, 1871.
Mr. EDITOR 1t has occurred to me that 9
few lines from this old established, and well
known watering place, might prove interesting
to some of your readers who have never visited
it, and having plenty of time on my hands, |
devote myself to their service
The great excitement here, Just now, is cen.
tered in the races, and you hear on every
hand, the respective merits of "Eolus,
Susan Ann" and Judge Durell', vigorously
discussed. With the exception Of those at
tending the races, there are very few visitors
at the Branch, and, until the present week
the hotels were hardly paying expenses. The
weather has been so cool and pleasant that
citizens have not felt the necessity of the sea
air, and bathing; or perhaps the rush, this
year, is towards the mountain regions.
Jim Fisk, Jr., is here in all his glory which
glory consists in magnificent turnout, with
six horses, and four Fifteenth Amendments
as footmen, with corresponding amount o.
boot tops and brass buttons. have only seer
him out driving with four horses, but under
stand the other two are in the stable, and are
hitched on in fine weather.
The bathing is considered rough at thi.
polnt and, by some, rather dangerous sc
much so that no one thinks of going in, with
out taking hold of one of the many ropes ar
ranged for the accommodation of bathers.
Quite an interesting specimen has been ex
hibiting the merits of Life Preserver, of hi.
own invention, here which really seems to bt
a very good thing. 1t consists of a suit of rub
Der, comprising pants and boots together, and
coat with hood to go over the head. From
the hood, coat and pants, there are tubes Ions
enough to reach the individuals mouth, by
which he is enabled to blow himself up AT
ter adjusting the suit, he proceeds to initiate tn,
mood, which process presses the mans face
into an aperture in the hood just large enough
TO admit his eyes, nose and mouth, and which
hts his face so closely that no water can posi-
bly, get in. He then initiates the coat ant
pants in like manner, all of which occupie.
about three minutes and he is ready for tn,
water. He plunges into the sea, and come
up like a cork Immediately. He dances abou
on the waves like a Sea Gull, hoists an um
brella over his head to protect him from th
lsun, and sails around, through and beyond tn
