In one of our Western towns they have
built new Jail of the most beautiful design,
and 1t is attracting good deal of company;
In fact, it is so nice that it is hardly consid-
cred disgrace to be put in it. The follow
ing are some of the rules:
Persons who are disorderly will be turned
out.
Nobody admitted unless they can show a
good moral character
Applications for admission must be ac-
companied by FIVE dollar bill, and vote
will be taken-one black ball rejecting the
applicant.
Honest men who desire to reform accom-
modated with fine suite of rooms, and with
servants.
Magistrates must be careful what kind of
persons they recommend to this institution
No talking allowed in the reading room,
nor alterations in the billiard-room.
Persons coming in or going out must avoid
slamming the doors.
No one allowed out after ten o'clock.
The only bars allowed at the windows are
mosquito bars.
The doors must be kept locked at night to
prevent persons from breaking in.
Persons with the small pox are not allowed
to break out.
Meals at all hours.
These rules must be complied with

Editors, it would seem, are to have a new
horror added to their lives. Mr.. Walter. a
solicitor, sent letter to the Echo for publ
cation, which was rejected, thrown into the
waste-paper basket, and as the proprietors
state, destroyed. Mr.. Walter applied with
in ten days for the manuscript, and not OBJ
tanning it, brought an action of trover in
the city of London County Court. The
judge, though he did not give final iudg-
ment. waiting for some formal evidence
laid it down as law that in spite of any ad-
vertisement to the contrary, correspond
ent might bring an action for his manu-
script, which, however, the editor was not
bound to keep beyond a reasonable time
reasonable apparently meaning about ten
days. If that is good law, as we are bound
to suppose-though hitherto we have always
imagined that the property-right in letter
rested with the addressee, and only the
copyright with the sender-and any person
who chooses is to be allowed to worry any
editor he likes with his rubbish, and then
fine him for throwing it away, there will be
but one remedy for Journalists, and that is
to announce that they will charge one
pound sterling an hour for warehousing
rejected communications They are not
bound to take care of infiammable litter
for nothing, or to fix any price except the
one they previously announce.-London

The Rev. Samuel Joseph May, whose
death at Syracuse, New York. on July |,
has been announced, was prominent as an
earnest advocate of religious and political
reform, and was widely known as devoted
friend of the slave. He was born in Bos-
ton, Massachusetts, in 1898, and graduated
at Harvard University in 1917 He studied
for the ministry, and having in 1922 been
ordained as Unitarian clergyman, was
settled first as a missionary at Brooklyne
Connecticut, and next had charge of a
parish at South Scituate, Massachusetts
He was one of the earliest members of the
New England anti-slavery society, founded
In 1882 for the purpose of advocating the
immediate emancipation of the slaves in the
United States. He was also a member of
the convention held in Philadelphia in 1888
which organized the American anti-slavery
society, and his name is to be found among
those signed to the Declaration of Senti-
ments' written by William L. Garrison and
adopted by the convention. Mr.. May soon
after became general agent of the Massa-
chusetts anti-slavery society, and about
IS42 accepted the position of principal of
the girls normal school at West Newton.
Massachusetts. In 1915 he became pastor
of the Unitarian church at Syracuse, New
York, and remained in charge until 1868,
when he resigned, in consequence of ad-
vancing years. During the last three wears
MIR. May has been employed in missionary
lab0rs, preaching whenever his intirmities
would allow. In Syracuse he was highly
esteemed by all denominations, having been
identified with all measures for the moral,
intellectual and social improvement of the
people of that city,

ROMANCE.
By OLIVER wESDzLL HOLMES

Oh! she was maid of laughing eye,
And she lived in a garrett cold and hlgh,
And he was threadbsre, whiskered beau,
And he lived in cellar damp and low.
But the rosy boy of the cherub wing
Hath many shaft for his slender string,
And the youth below and the maid above
Were touched by flaming darte of love.
And she would wake from her troubled sleep,
Der his tender billet-doux TO weep,
Or stand like statue cold and fair,
And gaze on a lock or his bright red hair.
And he who was late so tall and proud,
With mis- step so firm and his laugh so loud,
His beard grew long and his face grew thin,
And he pinned in solitede over his gin.
But one soft night in the month Of June
As she lay in the light of cioudess moon,
voice came floating soft and clear
To the startled maiden's listening ear.
o, then from her creaking couch she sprung,
And her tangled tresses back she flung;
She looked from the window far below,
And he stood beReath-her whiskered beau
She did not start with foolish frown,
But packed her trunk and scampered down,
And there was her lover, tail and true,
In his threadbare coat of is brightest blue.
The star that shone in the evening shade
Looked sadly down on weeping maid:
The sun that came in its morning pride
Shed golden light on laughing bride

But when / raise my eyes to view its light,
some boding cloud will DER its surface fly
To whisper its sad wall of mar and blight.
know that there is beauty in the sea;
But when launch my boat upon its breast
The white tired waves speak language unto me,
That moves my soul with longing and unrest.
know that there is beauty on the earth;
But chill and tear wet is the fairest morn,
And death e'er follows in the wake of birth,
While cen the rose is burdened with its thorn
/ know that there is beauty in the strain
OF melody, set unto measured rhyme
But through each note there throbs tone Oh
pain,
That finds alone with woe its perfect chime.
There comes peaceful beauty with the night,
When starry eyes are full of tender glow;
But while we drink their silent, silvery light,
We feel the emptiness of all below.
While love of all things is the thing most fair,
ray of glory beaming from the sky;
Yet, unto all it brings restless care,
For if not guarded tenderly twill die.
All life is such willy wooing breath;
And yet with all its beauties which we crave
Life unto all is sadder far than death,
And there are beds more bitter than the grave.

The Baton Rouge Journal saws;

The assignment of three more companies
of the Nineteenth United States infantry to
this post bias returned several officers who
were with us about one year ago. We had
the pleasure yesterday of meeting with
Colonel Hambright, Captain Spencer and
Lieutenant Vance, besides being introduced
10 several officers we had never met be-
fore; They assure us that they anticipate
the commandant, is an officer of courteous
manners, and decidedly military, business
man. The fine band belonging to this regi-
ment adds fnuch to the enjoyment of all. 1t
is somewhat remarkable that every officer,
save one, is married. Officers quarters are
consequently in demand. General Sully,
we regret to say, leaves Baton Rouge to
take command at Jackson Barracks.

At a fire in Findlay, Ohio recently, in
one of the buildings three kegs of powder
were stored When the fact became known
the crowd began to run; but young man,
named Harry Erb, seeing that unless the
powder was removed from the burning
structure a terrible loss of lite and prop
eerty would result, sprang forward, and cry
ing, Stand back; there is powder in here
and ! am going to fetch it out" rushed into
the burning building. For moment he
was lost to sight, but shortly reappeared
which were soon in place of safety, but
the third still remained. Erb, again telling
the crowd to stand back, pushed his way
into the flaming mass. Before he reached
the object of his search the keg had caught
tire; yet, without seeming to notice his ter
rible danger, he picked up the powder and
carried it from the building.

There is boy in Florida, fourteen years
DID, named Judson Blount, who saved many
lives the other day. He discovered place
on a railrod where the rains had under
minded a road bed and ran mile and a
half up the road to warn passenger train.
AS with its precious freight it came thunder
ing down the grade, the boy waved his hat.
The engineer only looked wOnderingly at
him, and he then took off his coat and
waved that. Of course it was all done in a
moment, but the engineer realized that
something was wrong, and stopped his train
in season to escape a fatal catastrophe.
The story of the brave Florida boy told
above should be supplemented by the tale
of heroine in California, who, one day in
june as it happened, was passenger in a
stage coach. The driver CHANGED to take
out his watch to see the time, holding the
reins meanwhile in one hand. At the very
instant one of the leaders stumbled and
jerked the reins from the drivers hand.
The team started to turn and the driver
jumped from his box with the intention of
heading the horses off. But he fell in the
effort and sustained a severe compound
fracture of the leg. Perfectly helpless he
lay beneath the wheels, and the stage passed
over his hip. The horses kept on for three
miles and finally upset the stage. This was
the occasion tor the young lady of whom we
speak, schoOl teacher eighteen years old,
and she seized it. Her name is given
as Miss Enthusiastically not very ro-
mantle name Perhaps she will sometimes
change it. But to the story This young
lady climbed out of the stage through the
window, unhitched the horses, and tied
them to the wheels. There was a band of
cattle camped near where the upset took
place, and procuring the assistance of one
of the vaquerOs to take charge of the
horses, the young lady walked back in the
dark, distance of three miles, In search of
the driver On arriving where the poor
fellow was, she bound up his leg, procured
him water to assuage his burning thirst,
and stayed with him two hours until assist
ance came. DR.. Hays, who was called up
ON to attend the injured man, expresses his
firm belief that if a draw-knife and suitable
material had been at hand, she would have
had the mans leg set and properly bound
I'D in splints before daylight.

A Boston paper relates that Edward Ev-
erett, when at college, used to walk to Bos.
ton, when practicable, on Saturday morn
ings, carrying the weeks soiled clothes in a
bundle to be washed, and bringing back
the bundle of clean clothes In the evening.
There was not then carpet, window cur
tain, sofa or an easy chair in any students
room, and nearly all the young men brought
their supply of water from the pumps, and
trimmed their own lamps

The st. Kilda islanders employ certain
sea fowl to collect cod liver oil much as
bees are employed to gather honey. The
bird gets the oil for its young. The natives
catch the bird and force it to disgorge the
oil into small leather bag. Enough is OBJ

the additional advantage that the birds al

when he called to see her on Sunday eve

The youth was so alarmed that he did not

A KUKLUx LAwYER.-The Holly Springs
Mlssissippian of June 21st gives the follow.
ing account Of the manner in which one OF
the kuklux lawyers, Col. Lamar by name,
deported himself in the United States Court
while the trial Of kuklux case was going
on: .-.-.-
"On Thursday an exciting scene oc-
Cured in the courtroom which, for few
moments, interrupted the entire proceed.
ings. Col. Lamar had fancied that one of
the United States witnesses had offered him
an insult upon the street. Some time af-
terWard the witness came into court, and
Lamar, in very excited manner, arose
and addressed the judge, and asked for the
arrest Of said witness, and that he be
placed under bonds.
The conduct of Lamar was so out of
place, and his speech and actions so excited
and iDfammatory, that the court and bar
hardly understood what he intended. The
person whom he was abusing was sitting
on the steps near the judge he arose and
asked the protection of the court, when
Lamar caught up chair and approached
him with it uplifted. The marshal. Col.
Pierce, attempted to keep him from strik-
ing, when Lamar struck him painful blow
on the temple, knocking him down. In q
moment all was intense excitement, Lamar
refusing to be placed under arrest, and de-
flying the court and offering the grossest
| indignities to his Honor Judge Hill. Seve-
raj of the prisoners charged with murder
sprang over the bar to aid Lamar, while q
number Of the citizens and students came
into the courtroom excitedly with pistols,
kind Of bloody work.
During this time Lamar was lifting his
| hands, defying the court, and gesticulating

would do who was DESTROYS Of leading a
| mob. He ordered the United States Attor-
| ney, Colonel Wells, to take his seat in q
tone as imperious as though he was driving
slaves in the good old times. He shook his
| fists at Colonel Emory, who was endeayor-
ing to quell the disturbance by having the
few soldiers present in charge of the pris-
oners to interfere, as the judge seemed for
q few moments entirely powerlesS. With
the aid of Colonies DoWd and Reynolds,
who instantly saw the effect that such
proceedings must have upon their cases,
the prisoners were hurried back to their
Of their counsel giving up their cases.
Gen. Featherston was potent in restoring
quiet. In few minutes squad of cavalry
arrived, which had decidedly cooling
effect upon the hot blood of all the real and
would-be kukluXes in and about-the court
house. t..
There was great surprise expressed by
the lawyers and many others present that
Judge Hill did not order Lamars name
struck from the rolls and imprison him
at least sixty or ninety days. There were,
perhaps, not three lawyers present but who,
had they been in Judge HIPS place, would
have done it. It remains to be seen what
action the Judge will take in the matter.
By later dispatch it appears that Judge
Hill has ordered Lamar's name TO be
stricken from the roll of attorneys.
