INCENpIARY ATTEMPT ON THE
State JoURNAL.-Taking hint from
The Enquirer, we take all possible precau-
ion against Kemper incendiary fires. And |
veil we do. Last evening, rather early as
! general thing for ncendiaries to ply their
iery torch as well as for the appearance of
ghosts or goblins damned, /" the attaches
present at the office were startled by the
,lare Of lights, the ringing of bells, and the
most Internal and discordant noises ever
,efore presented to their ears. Rushing to
he front door and windows, they beheld
'nly procession of harmless "Ding-
longs from Horrible Hill" on their way
9. join the Old Dominion club at Old
Market building. Mounted on the wagon
vas a huge bell surrounded by
10th screen. AS they reached q
,oint directly opposite THE JOURNAL
fiice, the procession ordered halt. for
he purpose, no doubt, of trying the effect
f alittle Kemper- Chinese warfare on us,
y the ringing of the big bell and numer-
us little bells, firing of rockets, Roman
andles, &c. Presently their great "Ding-
ong" transparent scare-crow, took fire
nd burned up. together with their rockets,
andles, Chinese lanterns, etc. The sick
lule attacked to the wagon, got scared and
7ould have ran away had it not been for
ne dozen strong arms that held 1t. After
while the procession moved on, stripped
its bright plumage and bereft of its ter
or-giving effect. As it passed, another i
on the shoulders of four
len, took its place. Omit was noticed the
ords, sHorrible Hill Ding -dongers,n and
The capitol grounds, no place for
ounds." Let there be added to that last,
But good place for mockmo 5irdsp,
