A SEVERE JOKE.
Dark See.auee,


Last Sunday morning the proprietor OF
store, on Broad street, upon entering the
bedroom found two of the clerks locked in
Morpheus arms, and evidently enjoying q
refreshing rest after their weeks work.
While he did not object to the young gen
tlemen sleeping as late as they could on
Sunday, be relished a joke about as well as
ga young un," and he perpetrated most
fearful one. Getting some lard and lamp
black, he painted their faces with this DARK
compound, and in order to make the con-
trast more striking, sprinkled them with
-four. The young men aWoke about
10 O'Clock, and each, unconscious OF his
own personal Disagreement, said nothing
but laughed in his sleeves at his companion
The dark reality, however, met their gaze
when they led each other to the mirror.
They rubbed, they scrubbed and came very
near losing their temper in the use OF e1-
pletiyes. We don'tsblame them, for they
had engagements to escort two young ladies'
to church that morning at eleven o'clock.
What was to be done? A BARBER king
dom for barber. How toget word to him
was now the trouble. After waiting for half
an hour looking through the part open
ed door black and tan boy came by, but
having once seen the strange faces, could
not be induced to ''step there a few min
utes," The negro retreated and soon spread
the story of KU-Klux and burglars being in
the store. This created some alarm, and it
was not long before two gentlemen went to
see what was the matter. The door was
closed, for the young men feared the inter
view at this particular time. Waiting until
they heard the two gentlemen leave, they
again took their stand at the door, watching
cautiously, anxiously for some suitable per
son by whom they could send word for
barber. Surely with them the post OF
honor was a private station. In about nj
teen minutes an old darkey came saunter-
ING by, and after being cOaxed near enough
to be understood, was, upon the payment OF
TWENTY-FIVE cents. induced to go for the
barber, who soon made his appearance to
the benighted yeung gentlemen. He used
his tonsorial art with energetic severity,
and after rubbing the skin on,
succeeded in removing the black
ness. By this time it was far past
eleven O'Clock, and two young ladies were
denied the congenial company OF two young
gentlemen, noted for their atfability OF DIS
position and gifted with conversational
abilities that render them fascinating ana
brilliant in every social circle. we deeply
sympathize with the unfortunate ones ana
hope no such joke may ever be theirs IN lu-
ture. At at any rate they had one source
of consolation left, and that was the pleas
ant privilege of apologiZing to the young Ia
dies,-a privilege which certainly IS the
most delightful of any ever enjoyed by NOR
tai man.

A Nashville Graduate.

We notice from our Washington City ex-
changes, that J. G. Napier, .colored, a sonOf
Carol Napier, one of our most worthy col
ored citizens, graduated at the Law School
commencement of Howard University,
Washington, on the 9th of last month.
The Chronicle says: ale delivered an ora
ton on the subject, Let the Jury Respond
to the Facts He first referred to the es-
tablished custom among English speaking
people of the making of laws; the election
of officers by the people; the forfeiture of
estates for treason; the lineal descent of
lands, and the establishment of courts of
Justice, which are the fruits Of the customs
and institutions of those people. The sub
iect of trial by jury as an Anglo Saxon in
stitution was then discussed and its origin
traced out. The claims of its being Nor
man one were fairly referred to and discuss
ed.
"The power of the king as a law-maker
was considered, and the conclusion asserted
that it is the province of the judge 'tO re-
spond to the law, and the jury to the facts
The rules of evidence were clearly ex-
planned as it is held in the English and
American courts in regard to the common
law, and be then brought in the words OF
Webster, that there can be no better tribu-
nal than the people brought together in the
iury box under the solemn sanction of an
oath, and acting under the Instructions of
enlightened judges While accepting
these words, which were thus referred to,
he held that the doctrines of Lord Mans
field shat the jury do not know, and are
not presumed to know the law; that they
are not sworn to decide it, and are not re-
ouired to do it, is the correct one"
He concluded in the following words:
$40 be free is to live under a government
by law. Miserable is the condition of indi-
viduals; dangerous is the condition of the
State, if there is no law or (Which is the
same thing) no certain administration of
law, to protect individuals or to guard the
State"
The Patriot says: Z" Let the Jury Re-
spond to the Fact an Grafton delivered by
Mr.. j. c. Napier, was the occasion OF many
presentations of bouquets to the orator"
Addresses were delivered by Horace
Maynard and Hon. John A. Bingham.
There were twelve graduates, one of whom
was Miss Charlotte E. Ray, Of New York.

Isnardof Education.

The Board of Education meets this even
ing and We understand one subject that will
come before this body is the introduction of
the German language as part Of the course
Of study in the city schools. The bill as
originally offered by Mr.. Buddeke has, after
being amended, passed its first a second
reading in the Common Council aud been
recommended by the School Committee.
After meeting with such a favorable
reception We think it not i'm
probable il viii share the same
fate before the Board of Education. Though
a new feature and originally intended for
the ninth ward school, it has been SO
amended as to embrace all of the city
schools. The opportunity Of learning the
German language, in connection with the
English, will be doubtless received in fav-
orable manner by many who have hereto
fore been denied its advantages.
