shadows of Immortality.

TIE LOYAL Ku KLux.-There are
serious grounds for Federal interfer-
ence in the affairs Of the loyal city Of
Cincinnati. Col. VIM. Travis, a colo.
red gentleman, who slings a graceful
razor, digs out corn or bunion with
neatness and despatch, and is withal,
no slouch in military affairs, saw ft, in
the exercise of his rights and privileges
as freeman, to vete for Democrat.
On Monday night, while peacefully
sitting on bis doorstep, smoking cigar,
aud revolving various schemes for the
redemption aud regeneration of his race,
Mr.. Travis was "yanked" into the
street by body of colorsd Ku Klnx,
and most foully and inhumanly mauled.
The midnight assassins smote him in
the ribs, barked his shins, panched his
head, tweaked as much Of his nose as
they could get hold Of, and put mice
under his eyes. In the meantime the
police watched the proceedings from a
neighboring corner aad tsrued deaf
ear to poor Travis roars Of anguish.
We call upon Congress to do something
for Cincinnati and for Travis. Ofwhat
benefit is the privilege Of suffrage to
an African, if he cannot vote for whom
he pleases

FILL Your LAMPS IN TIE MORN
1Na.-Scarcely a week passes but we
read accounts of frightfuP accidents
from kerosene lamps exploding, and
killing or soaring for life, men, women
and children. A simple knowledge OF
the inHammable nature Of the liquid
will probably put stop to nearly all
the accidents. As the oil burns down in
the lamp, highly iufammable gas
gathers over its surface, and as the oil
decreases the gas increases.-When
the oil is nearly consumed, a slight jar
will inaame the gas, and the explosion
is sure to follow-death and destruc-
ton. A bomb.shel is no more to be
dreaded. Now, if the lamp is not
allowed to burn more than half way
down, such accidents are almost i'm
possible. Always gil your lamps every
morning, and then you need never
fear an explosion.

REMARKABLE MIRAaE.-A CORES.
poudent of the Rochester Express
writes as follows: The undersigned

sublime mirages ever seen in this

rejecting from her bosom could be
seen the mountains, hills, valleys, bays
and rivers on the Canada shore inland

seen over a stretch of fifty miles, and
so perfect at one time that the forests
could readily be distinguished. The

and they marched into the church at
the appointed hour. The sight was
imposing, and there was large COM

dresses, wore thin white gauzs wells,
and each carried q lighted candle
When the head of the little procession
had reached the furthermost end Of

it set fire to her veil. The flame spread

Making Love-A Warm Response.
In Seville, which in popularity be.
lieved to be in Spain, there is in use q
most felieitous invention in the way Of
making lovs-clandestinely. After
dark, young cabellsros steal beneath
their lady's 1attice-which, perchance,
is in the third stoly-and softly un-
screwing the handle of their walking
sticks, proceed to extract from the
same, which are hollow, length after
length of hollow tube, screwing them
together after the fashion of "a japanese
fishing pole, or the old apparatus
wherewith sweeps clean chimneys. A
mouthpieee is fitted into each end and
one raised to the window above. Soon,
by aid of this improvised speaking
tube, two souls with a certain unaui-
nifty of thought and two hearts with q
possible unison Of pulsation are softly
communing.
Now all this is very nice, seductively
romantic and all that sort of thing, but
mark what the knowledge of it brought
to certain youth of Baltimore. He
had read or heard of it, and happening
to have q surreptitious affection for q
young and wealthy lady, which she as
surreptitiously reciprocated, he deter
mined with her oonnivance to avail
himself of it. He got tin pipe of the
desired length, made by timer, and
in each end of it placed, for want of q
better month piece, a funnel. DELI
cious conversation went on, he sit
ting on the top ofa water barrel and
she leaning from her window above
They would converse for hours, and ex-
change all, the .oft nonsense in the
world, and then he would unship his
apparatus, put the fuauels in his pocket,
wrap the pieces up in newspaper, and
90 home in q condition Of ETHEREAL
Bliss. The course of true love never
did run smooth, and one evening the
old gentleman, smoking in the back
garden at an unsual hour, saw the
Young gentleman arrive, fix up his ap-
paratus, and commence. his soul-con.
muuing operations. - :
He made up his mipdin minute.
He went into the kitchen and asked for
a pitcher of boiling water, it was hand
ed to him and. off he posted up stairs.
Just as he reached his danghter's deor
he commenced calling to her. So tell
ing her lover to wait q moment, she
came to the door. Nellie, my dear,
run up to my room and get my specta-
cles; ri wait here till you come back"
She disappeared up stairs, and he stole
cautiously to the window. The minute
he touched the funnel the amorous and
unsuspectiug youth clapped his mouth
to it to resume where he had broken
off-Emy darling, you cannot imagine
how Just then the old gentleman
commenced assiduously filing that fun
mel with hot water, and the rest Of that
miserable youths sentence, was never
heard. He wore flour on his face
for fortnight after, and declines to go
into society just at present.

A Mothers Death.

Few who have lost their first and
"dearest friend" can read the following
with unmoistened eyes: -
Death comes unsought to every. board.
| and at its spectral bidding some be.
loved one goes forth to his mysterious
home. t==c =.
Time and philosophy may teach
resignation nnto hearts made desolate
by its coming, but they can never fill
the vacancy therein, when she that
was our mother no longer cast a halo
about our darkened hearth.
A mothers place-so loved, SO
worshiped-once empty, must be ever
so. a breast once panged BY moth
er's death, no medicine can reach with
healing.
No mind, however sacred, no heart,
however hardened, can ever forget the
gentle being whose sufferings begot his
life.
A mother is truly our guardian
spirit upon earth. Her goodness
shields and protects; she walks with
our infancy, our youth and mature age
ever sheitering Us with her absorb
ing love, and expatiation our many
sins with her blessed prayers.
And when our mother, with all her
burden of love, her angelic influence,
her sainted care, ceases her beauteous
life, how much we lose at home, of
happiness, of heaven, no one can reck-
on for our mother was none but ours,
and we only can know how holy she was
bow sacred her memory must ever
be.
But may we not borrow consolation
from the thought that our loss is hea.
ven's gain; that surely one angel
watches over us, erasing with grateful
tears the record of our sin, and max,
ing easy our path to her with blessed
and blessing prayers.
