New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-08-11

v. Jasper Blackburn, the veteran edi-
tor of the Homer Lidd, addressed the
convention yesterday in style that puz-
zled the most astute politician to find out
where he desired ''to make port" At
one time his friends thought he would
not be able ''to make landing, and ex-
pected to see him dashed On the political
sand bars Of the Customhouse. But he
finally weathered the storm, and found a
quiet haven at Turner Hall
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-08-11

According to resolution passed in the
Convention yesterday, mass meeting of
Republicans will be held in the Mechan-
les Institute this evening to further dis
cuss the political condition of the Re-
publican party. The conduct Of certain
members of the party holding high
federal positions has fully aroused the
people, and they seem determined to be
fully heard upon the subject of their
treachery and usurpations. The resolu-
ton passed unanimously, and was hailed
with an enthusiasm that demonstrated a
determination not to let the men go un-
punished who have abused the power
temporarily given them by the people.

Only A Shadow.

A story is told of a well known gen.
tlcman, who sometimes imbibes too free
ly OF the ardent, going home at night
recently, and mistaking his shadow, out
lined on the front door, for Il man. He
paused a little in surprise, and then, lift
ing his hat very gracefully babe him a
good evening.
"a very pleasant evening"" said the
gentleman.
No reply.
"This is my house, I believe" he said,
waving his hand.
The hand Of the shadow went through
the same graceful curve.
81 should like to get in, sir, if you'll
stand aside" but the shadow made no
movement to let him pass.
The gentleman was evidently surpri-
sed. He repeated his desire to pass in,
but the shadow remained still.
His wife, hearing her husbands voice,
looked through the window blind, and
seeing no one but himself, asked why he
didn't come in.
$50 I would, my dear, but this gentle
man" (pointing to the shadow "insists
Oh blocking up the door,"
His wife quietly opened the door, re-
marking, "that was your shadow"
Indeed" said the puzzled citizen ;
"well, now, I thought he was a mighty
f~ine-looking fellow to be SO inpolite,"
and went in.
Whenever he shows a disposition to
remain out late at nighth his wife has only
to remind HIM of the shadow on the
doorstep to insure a speedy return.

A Tough GOOSe Story.

There once lived in one Of u North
ern towns, not many miles from Canway,
New Hampshire, an eccentric individ-
ual by the name Of Fogg, whose fame,
as a story teller, was known for many
miles around. Here is one "My home
was situated in a glen, some six miles
distant from the stage road. Between
Conway and where 1 lived was a pond
six miles in circumference. 1t so hap
pened, n time early in the spring, 1
had been out late, and coming home l
discovered a flock of geese as they were
just alighting in the pond. Rising ear
ly the next morning, 1 built my fire in
the fireplace, and taking down the shoot
ing iron, started to the pond to try my
luck. Arriving at the shore, 1 found to
my sorrow that they were out of gun
shot and to fire at that distance would
be a sheer folly. While 1 stood contem-
plating what to do, a fox came down to
the waters edge and stood snulfng the
air. My first thought was to shoot him,
but On reflection / concluded to see what
he would do. The fox in the meantime
entered the water and was swimming for
the geese, which were huddled together
about half a mile from the shore. After
swimming within a few yards of them
he suddenly disappeared, and in a few
moments a goose was drawn under the
water, then Reynard returned on his
homeward passage, and landed his bur-
den on the shore then returning again
brought another, until finally he brought
flock and when he brought the last one
l shot him. When | came to pick up
the geese I found That l had fifty good
nice ones; which 1 logged home togeth-
er with the fox and gun. The old woman
had got breakfast quite ready then"
"But, Mr.. Fogg, the fox to capture
the geese had to swim half a mile for
each goose consequently the fox swan
fifty miles, and the geese averaged six
pounds apiece, making the sum of three
hundred pounds, to say nothing of the
fox and the gun ; the thing was impossi-
BILE" impossible or not, every word of
it is truth" exclaimed the old man, "and
1 can prove it by more than u dozen of
my neighbors, to each of whom l sold
feathers enough tOfll u bed !'[Exchange.

proved, that the earth is hollow
globe that may be entered by the
way OF the open polar sea; that there
is an inside surface. not very unlike
the outside; that the solid earth" is
only shell of few miles thickness !;
and that the commonly received opin
ions concerning earthquakes, volca-
noes &c. are ali erruneos. This new
scientist claims to have written while
in the "ncdiumistic" state, 10y the aid
OF an amamueusis. We fear his rev.
elation comes too late.
