is paying attentions to a young wemAn OF
Port Jefferson, who is also near-sighted.
On sunday he invited her to accompany
him to church, and by AN apparently
fatal coincidence, hedroye blind horse.
Worse of all, the gentleman forgot his
spectacles, and, as the purblind couple
could not see how to guide him, the horss
was unable to keep the road, and when
they reached the place of worship one
tire was missing and the buggy-box was
badly bruised, having been in contact
with trees, stumps and stones on the road
side. Once here, however, they drove In
triumph into the inclosure surrounding
the church. But their misiortunes were
not yet ended. 1t happened that the
clothesline was stretched across the lot,
and under this the misguided brute took
hiscourse. There was a sudden empty
ing Of the vehicle, the two occupants
turning back somersaults and landing In
the sand. When they arose they were
too badly dis6gured 10 attend the service,

The exposure made by the
Times Of the radical pro-
gramme, detailed by G. w.
Keeting, to a negro named JAS.
Berry, to unite the negroes in
a solid phalanx by promising
them the property of the white
people of Louisiana, after it
has been confscated to the
State by a system of taxation,
has startled this community
and aroused a just indigna-
ton. The exposure has at
tracted attention in adjoining
parishes, and we have the best
authority for positively stat
ing that Mr.. Keeting had used
precisely the same arguments
and made precisely the same
promises to the negroes in Bos-
sier parish. Indeed, it is more
than probable that he has done
so in all the parishes he has
lately visited, and is doing sc
