The negroes have been left out
IN the cold by the Radicals of Gin
cinnati. The Enquirer of Saturday
says: The great solicitude of the
Republican Convention nominating
thirteen whites for the Leg

The Republican party are anxious
about the colored voters as voters,
but .llot-as candidates for office
That is a horse of another color.
Equality goes no further than vo-
ting, where the blacks are not strong
enough of themselves to elect one
Of their own color. Not only did
convention fail to put a colored man
ON the legislative part Of ticket, but
it did not even give him smell Of

Nc Thief's Exnedient.

Inc Aulti EA poatoibs
In looking over one Of my old
manuscript lectures, the following
caught my eye.
There is a fable among the Hin
docs that thief, having been de-
tected and condemned to die, hap
PLY hit upon an expedient which
gave him ahope of life. He sent
for his jailor, and to him he conf
ded that he had a secret of great
importance which he desired to i'm
part to the King, and when that had
been done he would be prepared to
die Upon receiving this piece Of
intelligence the King at once order
ed the culprit to be conducted to
his presence and demanded of him
to k"ow his secret. The thief re-
piled that be knew the secret Of
causing trees to grow which would
bear fruit of pure gold. The ex-
pertinent might be easily tried and
his majesty would not lose the op-
portunity; so accompanied by his
Prime Minister, his courtiers and
his chief Priest, he went with the
thief to a spot selected near the
city wall where the latter perform
ed a series of solemn lamentations.
This done the condemned man pro-
duced a piece ofgold and declared
that if it should be planted it would
produce a rree every branch of
which would bear gold,
But" he added, "this must be
put into the ground by hand that
has never been stained by dishon-
est act. My hand is not clean,
therefore 1 pass it to your majesty"
The King took the piece of gold,
but hesitated. Finally he said.
al remember, in my younger days
that I often filched money from my
fathers treasury which was not my
own. I have repented of the sin;
but yet I hardly dare say that my
hand is clean. therefore, pass it
to my Prime minister.
The latter after a REF considera-
ton, answered:
at was a pity to break the charm
through a possible blunder. I re-
ceive taxes from the people, and as
I am exposed to many temptations
how can I be sure that I have re-
manned perfectly honest? I must
give it to the Governor of our cita-
del"
''No, no." cried the Governor,
drawing back, Remember that /
have the serving ont of provisions
and pay to the soldiers. Let the
high priest plant it."
And the priest said.
"You forget that have the col
lection of aims and the disburse-
ments for sacrifice"
At length the thief exclaimed:
"Your majesty, 1 think It were
better for society that all five of us
should be hanged, since it appears
that not an honest man can be dis
covered among US"
In spite of the lamentable expo
sure the King laughed; and so cum
ningly vas the thiers expedient de-
vised, that he granted him a par.
don.

The Famine in Persia.

The horrors Of the Persian famine in
grouse. A correspondent, writing to
Turkish journal from Tabreez under
date Of April 80, says: 1.-THE details
which reach us here Of the destitution
and misery which the drouth OF last year
has caused in tho central and southern
provinces of Persia are fearfully heart
rending. That the people are dying
Of hunger, oven in the streets OF the
capital, is q minor phase of this terrible
calamity. In Khonssan parents are
selling their children rs slaves to the
Turcomans in order to keep them alive
and in Ispahan, as is said, men have
been seized in the act Of digging up the
corpses to serve as food for their stary-
ing families. In Shinz-Kesman and
Yezd the wretchcd sufferers endeayor TO
support life on the grass and roots which
they may find in the neighborhood, and,
as might be expected, pestilence follows
hard on the footsteps Of famine be-
tween them the half Of the kingdom OF
Persia is becoming rapidly depopulated.
Alater account Of the famine is given
in The Times Of India Of May ID, which
says "The famine in some parts Of
Persia is severe beyond comprehension.
Rain was for while hopefully expected,
but 1t came in very measured quantity,
and too lnte TO turn the foe that was al
ready at the door. Thousands are said
TO have diSi by the wayside Of sheer
or Of starvation coupled with
the diseases it invariably brings in its
train. Most OF the dead lie unburied-a
fact which may be regarded as the sure
precursor Of pestilence. AT first, when
seli-prcservation by any means whatever
became question TO be decided, yea or
nay, the former alternative prevailed
with the Mussulmans, and more than
one human being is said to have been
killed and eaten by them. ltis stated
the sights to be seen, and not TO be
avoided in the neighborhood of Shiraz,
are such that European residents will not
leave their own houses. Also, between
Shiraz and Bushire, thousands Of dead
bodies lie unburied." tl

that the Plains are black with Apaches.
Upon being Intercepted as to the num-
bers of the Apaches, these friendly

that would not hold them. Constantly
increasing depredations on the north.

depredations committed at tile far South

In the township Of Taylor, Mich, q
very exciting affair occurred. A man
named Pierce Andrews, who had lately
moved in from W6shtenaw County and
ileased ~ farm, returned lthat morning
with ., young horse which he had pur-
chased at Wyandottc. in riding the
animal home, Andrews had TO give him
several whippings, and was once or twice
run away with, md thus, when he ar
rived home, ho wps tired out and the
horse was nervous and excited. itfas
There being some goods packed away
in the stables, Andrews took the horse
in on the barn floor 10 tielhim. While
50 doing the animal bit him. and for this
he was soundly belaborediwith the han
die OF broken pitchforls. After being
struck several times he broke loose and
ran at Andrews, and struck him down
with one Of his fore feet While in this
position, the farmer received bad in
jury from being stepped ON butmanaged
TO get up and show fight, still retaining
possession OF his weapon. The horse
reared, Kicked, and uttered mad neighs,
and in q moment struck the man down
again. Andrews fell 80 closeto aparti-
ton that the horse could not get at him
well, and here he kept the beast ut bay
by pounding its legs with the club.
The people atthehouse had heard the
sounds Of the struggle, and hired man
and the family were soon around the
door. AS the horse seemed TO quiet
down a little, the mnh shouted to An
dfews to crawl carefully along TO the
door. This the farmer started TO do,
but Ind not crawled three feet when the
the horse poIneed upon him ngain, and
thisItime Iiisloeated This shoulder by q
blow Of his hoof. The horse then com.
mencea plunging and kicking every
thing, jumping at Andrews wheneyer
tho farmer moved and in this emer-
.gency, seeing that he was likely toibe
killed, he shouted forathe man 10 get the
family out OF the yard, and then open
the door, supposing that the animal
would then so out i'f,ll'7 u a.la.
'i This WINS done, but the horse rlunged
out and in again with such rppidity that
the farmer could not escape, the animal
making att him every time he tried it.

the horse the full charge in his shoulder
