has stolen a march on him again.
The busy B. B. was anxious to have
his name connected with the paternity
of an amnesty ill, which he hoped
would have some influence in obscurlns
some of his many crimes against the
South, and has carefully prepared
measure OF that kind. In the mean

aNURDER, As A FINE ART

Testimony is being taken before a
committee of the North Carolina Legls-
lature which tends to implicate certain
prominent Radicals in that State in a
conspiracy to assassinate a number OF
the more conspicuous opponents OF
HOLDEN dynasty. Last summer, when
the Radicals were consulting together
as to the best means Of cheating the
people out of an election and holding
on to the power they had so UNANIMOUSLY
abused, JOHN Pool, now Senator Of the
United States, proposed to hire noted
desperate named Mac LINDSAY, who
had once been convicted of piracy,
to organize band of assassins
who should arrest prominent mem.
bers of the Democratic party and
lose them. The plan was commended
as having been successfully employed
bv CLAYTON, in Arkansas, and, it was
said, had been in that case approved
by President GRANT! The suggestion
was considered by HOLDEN and his
officers of State, but, except as partially
adopted by the employment Of KIRK
and BERGEN, was finally dropped. 1t
did not prove quite so successful under
the management Of the Tennessee ruff
fans as was hoped, and the sweeping
victory won by the Democracy at the
election compelled the final abandon
ment Of the whole plot.
These revelations were made by r. c.
BADGER, Radical Of the straightest
sect, who was one of the counsel that
defended HOLDEN in his recent impeach-
meut trial, and was present at the con-
sultation when the suggestion of muir
der was made1by Senator Pool. The
Senate of the United States owes it to
itself and to the common cause Of law
and order and right, to. Investigate these
charges and expose the criminals. The
statement comes in no questionable
shape. tits doubtless true, and Senator
Pool stands before the world as the
advocate of assassination, a crime
which he is represented as saying met
the appreciation Of President GRANT.
Here are the original Ku-Klux; let
them be dealt with as the law directs.

The Result Of the Outbreak i'm Paris

The environs Of Paris, hitherto de-
voted to the pursuits Of pleasure, are
now the resorts OF grim-visaged sol
diers. The we'll known Petit-Trianon,
built by Louis XIV. for Mamame Du
Barry, and subsequently the favorite re,
treat of Mary Antoinette, now forms the
headquarters of the Army of Versailles,
under Marshal Mcmahon. The Eng
lish garden of the Petit-Trianon, one OF
the lovleliest spots near Versailles, was,
by its luxuriant foliage, hidden from
all rude trespassers, but it now resounds
with the tramp Of the rough soldier,
and is lighted with the blaze of his
watch fire. The contrast between the
past and the present state of this lux
urious Enclosure furnishes a striking
illustration of the melancholy condition
to which war has reduced the once
beautiful France.

May, jerking herself away, 1T was

Miss Laney tying on her bonnet, and
putting her arms around her neck, she

TOrnadOes -. Some Curious Results
Noted by Careful Observer.

From the Columbus Is. c. Union, May 90.
The frequency of tornadoes throu gh-
out the South this year, renders any
thing concerning their peculiar fire. ak S
OF more than ordinary interest. Hardly
a week has passed since the break ing
up Of the winter, in which several have
not been chronicled, more or less dis
astrous to life, and always disastrou 8
to property. Georgia and Tennessee
have been most frequently visited, but
other states have had all they d esire
these peculiar visits.
The properties of torn ADDE'S are not
satisfactorily accounted for by scien-
tific men. In the summer of 1864 we
watched one of the monsters-for they
can be designated by no other terms
from its first appearance, near the
mouth of Wycomico river, on the Vir-
ginia shore, from which point it con-
nected with Il water-spout assuming the
shape of an hour-glass, which finally
crossed toward Point Lookout, on the
Maryland side. After travelling about
eight miles the gun-boats destroyed
the waterspout by firing several shells
into it, when the tornado, with light
ming velocity, shot up nearly an eighth
of mile, after which it pursued zizzag
course, striking first near the shore,
destroying several huge commissary
buildings as if they were made of
straw, and severely wounding many
men. 1t then again shot up in the air,
the next descent striking in the midst
of dozen hospitals standing very
closely together, and filed, with one
exception, with wounded Confederate
soldiers. Singularly, the nnoccupied
building was taken up by the tornado
as clean as If it moved from the spot in
its usual manner, and in its course up
again, was carried far out of sight into
the bay, leaving no trace of the wreck
behind.
On this occasion one spike was pick
ed up by the wind, from among num-
Der which lay upon the wharf, and was
carried distance of fifty yards and
then deeply lodged in the shoulder of
a guard on duty, inhictlng a serious
wound.
In 1867, we watched the course of
one OF these tornadoes in Georgetown
County, in this State. After twisting
down and uprooting large number of
the huge oaks which formed the ave-
hue on the plantation, some of which
were carried long distances, killing cat
tie and wounding the plantation hands,
it shot out into the open field, and
struck trim-looking oak of about a
foot in diameter, that stood by itself,
and entirely exposed to the fury of the
blast. After the occurrence, we exam
ined this oak, and although it had not
lost a branch, even to the smallest, the
bark was completely taken off from the
whole tree, even to the smallest of the
twigs, as clean as if done by mechani-
cal skill.

FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
Apples.
BY MRS. EMILY HUNTINGTON MILLER.

One for you, and one for me,
Ripe and red as a rose can be;
With spicy breath, like the airs that play
On the blossoming gardens OF fair Kathsy.
This il the side where all day long
fingered the sunshine, clear and strong;
Down to he very core, know,
Still is boarded the summer glow.
/ can tell you Where they grew,
BY the orchard wall, where the brook comes thro
Crystal clear in the frost and rme,
Lost In the grass in summer time.
That is the place where first In May
Pale blue violets hide away,
Half ashamed of their faces fair,
when blossoms whiten the branches bare.
Gnarled and twisted the tree has grown,
leaning south az the wind has blown;
Here aud there are the scars that show
Terrible winters Of ice and snow.
Yet TO the toprnost bough in spring,
Fair and tender the blossoms cling
Year by year in its shelter WIDE
Callow nestlings the robins hide.
Year by year, when the summer days
Melt and mellow IN goideu haze,
Bright as Jewels the apples shine,
Swelling with autunn4 odorous wine.
Looming over the orchard wall
one by one You may hear them fall
One by one from the dear old tree,
That fed their sweetness for you aud me.
