BECKWITH'S MISTAKE.

Our readers have still fresh in their memory
the circumstances attendant upon the killing,
at Coushatta, of several noted criminals by ar
armed body. These men were under the
charge Of an escort, and on their way te
Shreveport, thence to go by rail out of the
State, when about one hundred and fifty mer
met the escort, overpowered it and executed
the criminals.
Some time passed and no action was taken
by the United States authorities until few
days prior to the late election, when it was
deemed necessary that rule of terror should
be inaugurated in order to carry that portion
of the State. Accordingly the outrage ma
chinery was put in operation and deputy
marshals began to raid through Red River
parish after leading citizens, armed with war
rants for their arrest.
Many of those charged with being parties to
this conspiracy are large planters, and
naturally have considerable infuence over
the negroes in their employ. To break this
just before the election was required, and the
Enforcement Act was a ready tool at hand.
Men were dragged from their homes by one
Marshal Stockton, assisted by United States
troops access to their wives or friends re-
fused, and even the private soldiers prohibited
from conversing with the prisoners. They
were brought to this city to undergo trial,
when, strange to say, Beckwith discovers that
he has made blunder.
There is an abundance of evidence going
to show that not one of those arrested were
near the spot where the crime is alleged to
have been committed; in fact, some Of the
gentlemen were either IN this city or ON their
way thither when the Coushatta affair
occurred. Now, Beckwith is willing to accept
bonds for their appearance on conditions that
if the Grand Jury find indictments against
the party after service of bench warrant,
they will appear to answer; failing which,
the bond to be declared forfeited.
It is evident he wants to wash his hands of
the whole matter. This morning he stated
that he was satisfied no proof was at hand to
substantiate the affidavits made, and that he
was willing to facilitate the discharge of the
prisoners. This comes with a bad grace after
bringing men from their homes thousand
miles under arrest.

AN ESSAY on NOSES.

The degree to which this member governs
the expression of the human face, and is an
exponent Of character, is scarcely credible.
The aquiline, when animated by blue blood,
quivers in cholar with dilated nostrils, like
the war-horse The long, slim nose is gener-
ally followed by its owner into a systematic
and precise groove in the world, and seldom
turns from settled purpose. Mrs. Grundy's
nose may be said to have an independent
respiratory apparatus, and possibly is not I'M

ton from inhaling OF pepper or other pun
gent cures of an odious habit, applied to the
apron-sleve by well-meaning mothers? A
broad, fiat protuberance is sometimes set abovs
a wide, mirthtul mouth and solid, square jaws.
A piquantly retrousse nose may be charm

ton, and focus from which sparks Of fury
scintillate. It would be novel to find persons
whose upper lips project, and become nervous
and unmanageable when giving utterances to
talsehoods, have noses OF much the same
fashion. 1t may not be intimated that an in
significant nose is not suggestive of unusual
ability and attainments; neither is it always

Bye.Bye.

Bottled again, by-Thompson Put on
sackcloth, unhappy children of the Crescent
City; weep, We disconsolate maidens of New
port-News; sorrow, ye sons of the Monu-
mental, for Benjamin is blotted out, the hero
of the rowing eye is squelched. Handle care
fully the spoon he loved so well while you dip
the matutinal mush, and lift gently the silver
service forth with all their hidden memories
entwined. The silver may wear CLEAN of
joy, and the spoon be dazzled with the new
found light but it will only be to console, to
smile solace to the heart bowed down. For
Butler is retained at home this ime-his con-
tract is within the limits of Lowell. Poor, un-
happy Lowell
No more shall the halls of Congress greet
him in his strength-no more shall he wink
and MARBLE in his pride of place. The red
handed rebel shall defy him, and the migrate
full moke grin sardcnically in his face. Like
beautiful flower he has been cut down, like
the moved grass shall he wither and vanish
That SOU west orb has lost its terror, and
that neither optic its cunning When shall we
look upon his like again?
Tell us not that Republics are grateful.
Like an aged nag the unselfsh patriot has
been turned out to die with forty-jackass
weight of woe upon him. All that is left him
is to run his features for patent false-tace, to
hire his model for sign unto the tobacconist,
to stand an effective ornament for an enter
prising drug store, or figure head for a
kitchen stove to fright the children from the
dangerous fire. To such base uses must he
come at last. We grieve, as those without
hope, for the mighty has fallen, the beautiful
has faded in the noontide of its radiance We
sob and suffer, but will try to bear it. The
great are going fast-Butlerisg gone, Beelzebub
will go next, and then what will become Of the
country. Adieu, Benny; bye-bye, ta-ta, dada.
Who will kiss him for his mother? Give it up.

Two corrections Of previous election re-
ports are made by late dispatches. In the
Second Congressional District of Virginia,
election of John Goode, Conservative, instead
of J. 81. Plat, Republican. Previous reports
gave Mr.. Platt a majority of 294 votes. Ken
lucky is now reported to have elected one
Radical to Congress-John D. White, in the
Ninth District. Previous accounts claimed
for the Democrats an undivided Congressional
delegation from Kentucky.

1t is to be hoped that the conservative ele-
ments of the South now coming into power
will be faithful to the practices and traditions
of that section in the choice of its public re-
representatives.. The Southern people almost
invariably selected the most intelligent and
refined men to represent them in Congress;
higher order than it met with nowadays. The
statesmen were leaders and leaders statesmen.

That sacred bull in Brooklyn, IN. W which
possesses human arm, and for which the
owner wants $50, 900, was, perhaps, originally
very ordinary monstrosity. 1t was a calf
with five legs, but as calf only needs four
legs, the extra member hung uselessly by the
animals side, and atrophied. or as the people
say, withered away to the rude semblance
of human arm, "with horny hand" This,
therefore, may have been very well for sacred
bull in Calcutta, but Brooklyn can do better.
The main feature Of new plan on trial in
the British navy. for raising sunken ships, is
closing Theoretically the matches and all open
ings in the upper parts and pumping down
air. The air thus introduced rises toward the
under side of the deck, and, not being able to
escape, presses the water down and out
through the holes made in the ships bottom.
The vessel by this means will be rendered
buoyant and rise to the surface.

The number of canaries, cats, dogs, and
other pets that are brought here to be stuffed,
said the naturalist, sis simply enormous. It
is wonderful the affection often exhibited BY
the brute creation for the lord of creation, and
some curious things have been brought to my
notice in my ex Experience with these pets that
would almost lead one to accept the doctrine
OF the metempsychosis. There is one case
which l recollect out Of thousand or more
that was peculiarly affecting A Fourteenth
street man, whose name 1 have forgotten, was
colonel OF a regiment that fought in the battle
OF Bull Run. He was struck down by musket
ball and taken back to New lork to die. AS
he lay sick at home his wife to please him took
INTO his bedroom q canary that was his especial
pet before he went into the war. But the
colonel feeling nervous and pettish that day,
conceived sudden strong dislike for the bird,
and asked his wife to throw it out of the win
dow. The window was opened, but the pet
futtered around the room, and lowering
about the window, seemed unwilling to go
out. 1t showed unmistakable evidence that
it recognized its master, and evinced an unac-
countable attachment for him. The bird was
at last cast out It perched for an instant on
an ailanthus tree in the yard, then few quickly
back into the room and lit on the forehead
OF the sick man. The family were so much
moved by the incident that no further attempt
was made to remove the canary. and after that
time its perching place day and night was at
the pillow of it's master. The Colonel died.
and his body was taken to distant burial
place on the Hudson. The family were absen:
for five days, and during that time the canary
was forgotten. When they at last recollected it,
and hurried back home alarmed for its safety,
they found the little pet dead in the hollow Of
the pillow where its masters head had lain.
Its body was brought to me for preservation,
and the beautiful little creature still perches
in the residence of the Coloneps family in
Fourteenth street."

BENJAMIN Butler still feels sore about his
defeat. He charges a goodly share Of this
defeat to the Salem Gazette, and says that the
editors opposed him because he would not
procure for one of them post-office. This,
or something like it, is usually B. Buffers
charge against men who refuse tosupport him.
The Salem Gazette denies the allegation, and
defes the Essex alligator, and furthermore
repeats its offer to give him $1,000 if he will
prove it. The hero of Fort Fisher has three
congressional months in which to get even
with his friends and make it hot for his enc
mics.

The vote in New York at the late election is
one of the largest ever cast, footing up about
1885, 10000. The majority for Tilden, Dem., }
now 81, 900, is just about equal to Grants ma
jority in 1872. The best thing connected with
the election is the fact which it develops
that the Democracy have II, 900 majority out
side of the city of New York, and they need
no longer rely on the metropolis for success.
A few years ago, outside Of the city the State
was Republican by about &C, 600 majority.
