A HEAVY HITTER.
Graf COnSt rnatiOn at COlOred
Festival.

Night before last a number OF coIored citi.
Gems residing on Sixth street, assembled u
the house of a neighbor for the purpose Of
tripping the light fantastic toe. Good music
was there and perfect riot of mirth went
out upon the crisp Silly night air. Up to 8
o'clock everything was serene and lovely.
Then trouble commenced. Among the
reTellers was one Henry Wright, gay and
festive brunette, who had been INDUCING
in an overdose of the 'Oh. be joyful" He
made himself exceedingly obnoxious to the
party BY his ungentlemanly behavior, and
after short consultation among the brethren
il was decided to rid ihemsel YES of his pres
ence in summary manner. Calmly moist
ing their hands with . plentiful supply Of
saliva, two Of the muscular ones ad-
vanced to the side of Wright, seiz-d
him BY the coAt-coliar and the slack Of
his unmen,ionables; two dusky damsels
with visible smiles held wide open the door,
and the offending Henry shot through the
opening, even q ball from the lannon's
mouth. He did not object to this treatment
in the least, but he did clamor in &C.
cents Wild for his hat and scarf which
was in the general confusion left behind
The parties in the house turned deaf ear to
hi. entreaties and slammed the door in his
face. This wae 1.-THE most unkindest cut Of
all" Henry made up his mind what to do
in an instant. Stepping backward . few
rod., be lowered his head like an Infatuated
Texas steer, propelled himself With the ener-
81 of desperation. and ere the merry makers
within were aware of what vas about to
happen, the door of the domicile was
smashed into . hundred fragments, snd
Henry was with them once more. His un-
expected appearance Was the signal for
general rout. Believing him possessed Of
the devil "suah," the company broke and
led in every direction. Henry triumph
antly reealned possession Of his missing
wearing apparel, ate the lunch provided for
thu dancers, and then retired in good order
singing, "das old door amt what Il used to
be-" Henry i nov in the calaboose fUr
hi scandalous behavior.

LAND SLIDE.
Track Of the Missouri Pacific
Blocked.

Early Yesterday forenoon a most des,ruc.
tive land slide occurred on the line of the
Missouri Pacific road in the neighborbood Of
Kickapoo Station. A large mass of earth
and stone, loosened by the late heavy rains,
slid from the hillside upon the track. The
slide was first discovered by the section
hands, and notification sent to the Superin-
tendent, who Immediately sent large force
to remove the obstruction. We were also
informed that the track sank in several
places, but was speedily put in condition for
the passage of trains. In consequence Of
these distractions the trains from Aichison
did not arrive till late in the evening.

Well nerisea Compliment.

The Christian Union, edited by the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, gives the following
complimentary notice of Rev. Ambrose But.
ler's new book Of poems, entitled, "The
Irish on the Prairies:"
The Rev. Thomas Ambrose Butler, who
inecribes his Preface from the Cathedral OF
Leavenworth, has gathered into a volume
the poems which for many years he has been
writing in hours of leisure snatched from the
tolls OF his profession. Many of the smaller
poems to be found here were composed ''in
the authors lonely happy home beside an
Irish chapel in the shadows of the hills of
Wicklow" while the larger ones were writ
ten, a. be expresses il, lin the home of the
exile, beside the rolling prairies Of Kansas,
in tranquil moments, after the busy priestly
labors OF the day." Mr.. Butler has put
great deal of glowing, patriotic and religious
feeling into his verses, which, making no
pretension to what is high in poetic art, are,
upon the whole, very pleasing rhythmical
effusions. The author has the genuine Irish
taste and talent for lyric poetry, and some of
these songs would seem to sing themselvee
without anybody's help. The longest poem
in the book, called "Tns Irish on the Prai-
ries," u . rather imprisoned and musical
utterance of Irish feeling toward the new
country and the old one.
Ths Old Land the Old Land love her, though
nou.ai of her form can be seen
Though thous:nds Of miles Of the prairies and bill

A QUESTION OF LAW.
Can Wholesale Ii quCI Krthants
Lgally COllct Bills.
An Interesting Argument to be
Made on the Subject.
How Country Hotel K ?rs G t
Whisky Cheap.

Now that the temperance question Is be-
ing agitsied 20 extensively in this city ali
items OF news pertaining to the buying and
selling of the seductive alcoholic beverage
are read with universal interest. Yesterday
We hapdened upon a case which promises to
develop cons dersble excitement. II seems
TIA, one Joseph Miller, who runs hotel in
the neighborhood of Stranger, has within
the past lew months purchased of liquor
merchants in this city several barrels of the
ardent and on the bills being presented fatty
refused to pay for the same. Two of the
creditiDg firms, Hoffman & Co.. and Ashton
4 Co., have sued Miller, and Judge Gardner
gave judgment in favor of the plaintiffs.
Yesterday Mr.. Harry Still, counsel for the
defendant, asked to have the judgment set
aside, and gave notice of his determination
to argue the case on the 18Th inst. Per-
haps our readers will arrive at a fuller un-
derstanding of the c,se BY reading the fol-
lowing bill Of particulars, put in by the de-
PENDANT before the trial, and which show
conclusively on what grounds the defense
rests:
Before G. W. Gardner, J. p. Leaven-
worth tp, Leavenwortb county. Kansas.
Christ. Hoffman, plaintiff,
Joseph Miller, defendant.
LIST. The said defendant now comes and
1o,sos that fhoro "a in, sr-
debtedDesss now due and payable TO said
plaintiff from him. the aforesaid defendant.
%. The said defendant further says that
he is not in any manner indebted to the said
plaintiff for or in account of the items net
forth in bill Of particulars, or in any former
manner for the goods or chattels set forth in
his bill of particulars.
Sd. The said defendant further save that
il at any time there was contract of sale
between the said plaintiff and himself of the
liquor set forth in said plaintiffs bill of
particulars, such contract and such sale was
void under the statutes of the State of Kan
sas, in such cases made and provided, the
said liquor being alchoholic.
4th. The said defendant further says that
he, the said plaintiff, was not at the time of
such alleged sale, duly and legally licensed
grocer, dram shop keeper, or tavern keeper,
and that in law and fact, he, the said plain
tiff, was not at any time, and il not now IL
censed to sell alcoholic liquors or spurious,
vinous or fermented l:quors within the coun-
~ of Leavenwcrtb; and the said defendant
says that if any sale was made, as Get forth
in said plaintiff 3 bill Of particulars, it was
made in the county of Leavenworth, and
State of Kansas.
Wherefore, defendant prays that he may
60 hence without let or hindrance, and
without costs.
The argument promises to be of more
than ordinary interest, and several Of the
leaders in the temperance movement have
expressed their determination to attend.
Judge Sherry will appear for the plaintiffs.

In one Of the towns on the narrow guage
a chap is very much chasrined because the
Methodists are about to build church on a
lot adjoining his. Lately he has been
blowing rather freely about what he
would do to annoy the worshipers, especially
At their evening meetings. Speaking OF the
matter in the presence of q Quaker, he is re-
ported to have said he would build barn on
his lot "a near the church IS possible, and
put jsckas into ii every evening the Meth
odists have meeting. In his slow. pleasant
speech, the Q ,aker replied: 81 advise thee
to spend thy evenings in thy house, not in
thy barn.
