The RIasphemOus Grow.

At a certain crOss-rOad in the State OF
Alabama stood small grocery or whls-
ky-shop, where 'bust-hed' and chain
lightning" were dealt out to the thirsty
unwashed at five cents drink, or TWEEN
ty-fve cents quart. the presiding
genius of this delectable institution was
one Bill Skies, who, among various pets,
had domesticated crow, black as the
ace of spades. This crow had learned,
ameng other things, TO repeat quite
plainly the words damn you" which he
heard frequently used in the grocery.
During the prevalence of knoek-down-
and-drag-out fight, one day, however, the
crow was frightened from home and few
of to the woods, never to return.
About three miles from the grocery
was a settlement meeting-house--an old
tumble-dOwn affair, only used on certain
occasions when circuit-rider came that
way. Into this building went the crow,
taking peaceable possession; and two
DAYS thereafter the church was thrown
open to preaching, and a large crowd as
sembled, among whom was a very old
lady, who was compelled to use crutches
in walking, who took her seat in the
front pew, and was soon absorbed in the
eloquence Of the preacher. The rever-
end gentleman had scarce got under full
Roadway, and commenced numbering
his anathemas at all grades Of sinners,
when hoarse, croaking voice from above
uttered the ominous words:
Damn youP
The preacher and congregation looked
aghast at such profanity, aHd each peered
into his neighbor face in vain TO detect
some sign Of guilt Quiet being at length
restored, however, the sermon proceeded,
but ere ten minutes elapsed the ominOus
damn you'll f" again electrified the audi
ence, and just as the preacher cast his
eyes upward TO search for the deliquent,
the crow flew down from his perch, and,
lighting upon the Bible, calmly surveyed
the terrified crowd, and gave another
doleful croak:
Damn you"
The effect was electrical. Giving one
startling and electrified glance at the
intruder, the preacher sprang from the
window, carrying sash, glass and all
with him, and of at break-neck pace
through the woods, closely followed by
his horror-stricken congregation, who
had piled out Of the building pel-mell
after him. In the general scramble the
old lady with the crutch had been
knocked down in the church, where she
lay, unable to rise; and observing her,
the crow, who was after something to
eat, few down beside her, and looking
up at her very knowingly, croaked out:
Damn you.
Yes, and damn you, tool bad moth
ing to do with getting up this old Metho-
dist meeting-snd you know il.
The poor old woman had mistaken the
crow for the devil, and concluded If pos
sible TO propitiate his Satanic majesty by
denying all completely in that affair.
The world is full Of just such people.

INDIANA.
A Murdered Man Found In the
Woods near indianapolis.

u
INDIANAPOLIS, January 2s.-Further
particulars in reference TO the dead man
found in the woods near this place devel
op the fact that it was Hickman Hall, q
school-teacher, who has been teaching
school at Fredericksburg, Indiana. His
father William Hall ial,Vell-to-do farmer
who resides near New Elizabeth, in Hen
bricks county, came here on Saturday,
and proceeded to Southport and identi-
fed the remains as those Of his son. He
came to this city with his brother, DR..
Hall, who is a practicing physician al
Fredericksburg, and with whom young
Hall, the deceased, had been boarding.
They went to a lecture in the evening,
and by some means got separated, and
Hickman Hall was not seen till found
dead, DR., Hall supposing deceased
had gone to New Elizabeth to visit his
parents, returned to Fredericksburg. AT
the expiration Of the holiday vacation
DR.. Brown wrote to his father inquiring
why deceased did not return to take
charge of his school, which was the first
intimation that gentleman had of his
sons absence from Fredericksburg.
Upon the close Of the examination OF
the corpse it was quite evident that de-
ceased was murdered, and by whom re-
mains to be seen. The jury did not
render verdict last night, but ad-
journed until next Thursday evening.
About eight o'clock yesterday morning
Mrs. Elizabeth Lucky, wife of a tailor
named James Lucky, living on Virginia
avenue, only few doors from Washing
ton street, died of utter starvation and
neglect. Not an hour after her death
her husband ordered coffin and said
the funeral would take place in the after
noon. The coroner was notified by the
neighbors that they had some suspicion
of foul play on the part of her husband,
and also that the physician who had
been in attendance during her confne-
ment, some two months since, had been
guilty of malpractice, A coroners jury
was impanneled last night and a medical
examination held. 1t was alleged by
witnesses that Lucky had quarreled with
and struck his wife several times while
lying on her sick bed, and that she had
been so grossly neglected that vermin
had collected in the bed, and
before dying that modification had
actually set in her hips. She charged
the physician who attended her during
confinement Ia DIR, CUTTER as being the
cause of her death A post morton ex-
animation will be held to-day, and the
jury will meet again this evening to give
a verdict.

We implore the ten thousand or ten
hundred thousand poets Of America to
refrain for while from the desperate
struggle in which they are now engaged
of initiating the poems of Bret Harte.
That humorous and pathetic Californian
seems to haye set the whole poetical
tribe half crazy since the publication OF
his Heather Chinee." THERE'S hardly
one of our exchanges, daily or weekly,
city or country, sacred or profane, that
has not lately contained more or less
of these poetical limitations, if it be not
an outrage to call such things limitations.
No village is so poor as not TO have a
pinchbeck Truthful James, and It is
painful 10 observe that not q few'editors
consider the pinchbeck article quite as
nice as the golden genius Of which it is
the caricature. OF course this sort Of
thing must soon run itself into the
ground but it is to be hoped, for the
sake OF the American intelligence, it
will not be long before that consumma-
ton is reached Cincinnati CONNER

PUBLIC LEDGER.
TWO PICTURES.

In the Virginia Senate proposition
was introduced and adopted to purchase
Elders portrait of Lee, but the negroes
and Radicals in the Senate opposed 1t.
Mr. Masse moved that portrait OF the
Federal General Thomas be also put up
in the capitol, which proposition was
lost but it was eagerly voted for by the
white Radicals and their black allies.
The Radical papers having ventilated
their wrath and denounced the move
ment as a wrong done to the memory
of Thomas by the Legislature of Vir-
ginia the Richmond Dispatch replies in
the following terse and pointed manner;
What hypocrisy and vulgarity is III
We admired Lee he sympathized with
ms and crowned his fame with military
glory. and we honor him in the little
matter of putting up his picture IN the
capitol. Who has anything to say
AGAINST that? We do not honor men
Who however great their fame or deeds,
did moi sympathize with us, did not tight
with us and did not share our fortunes;
and who says anything against thatf
II matters not who. Has any North
ern Legislature built monument or put
mn picture in honor Of Leeg Does any
Northern man expect the people OF VIr-
GINA to pay such honor to Sheridan, or
Hooker. or Thomas? lby-the-5y, the
greatest general on the Northern slde).
AssuredIy not Not one man In the
North expects any such act of US.
Every true man with any proper feeling
in his heart, any manhood in his soul,
would despise us for it. A people that
could do such a thing would be no better
chan dogs; and those who say they ex-
peel it Of US are hJP0oTites.
The hOnors paid to men spring from
sentiment, the admiration OF noble traits
and gallant deeds, the unbought and
spontaneous impulse Of the public mind;
Great are those honors when prompted
bv This noble motive. When it comes to
that. that men bow and crawl before
power and bestow their applause through
fear or to win favor, their applause will
be contemplate, and those on whom they
SLAYER will fully appreciate their base
hypocrisy. They viii be justly rewarded
with contempt and further oppression:
Virginia proclaims her sentiments and
honors those she loves. She should be
despised if she did not The hypocrites
even would think less of her if she did
not. This matter of sentiment is in no
wise in conflict with her faithfulness to
the present Government and her submits
siyeness TO its laws. No State is more
faithful, while her people pay more into
the Federal treasury than any people IN
this Union in proportion to means. Yet
according 10 the hypocrites she must not
set up a portrait Of man whose memory
her people revere and whose virtues were
even more conspicuous than his military
rpuoWu
