Gov. Baxter Forcibly Elected from Of
flee by Joseph Brooks, the Guberna-
torial Claimant.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 15.-Joseph
Brooks, who claims to have been elected Gov
ernor in 1872, took the oath of office to-day
before Chief Justice Mcclure, and within five
minutes from that time took forcible posses
sion of the Governors Office and elected Gov.
Baxter by force. About one year ago Brooks
commenced suit in the Circuit Court of Pulas-
d county for the Office of Governor. About
the same time the Acknowledgement com
menced suit against Baxter by quo wsrrsnto
in the Supreme Court. That court rendered
a decision that the courts of the State had no
power over q contested election for the Office
for Governor, and it was generally regarded
that the matter was settled SO far as
the courts were concerned. The
Legislature, in 1878, opered the re-
turns and declared that Baxter was elected.
Little more was thought Of the matter, until
a few days ago. when the attorneys eff Gov
Baxter desired that the case in the Circuit
Court be taken up on demurrer, with view
of disposing of the same. The understand
ing was then had that the demurrer should be
submitted and argued next week. On Mon

Civil Rights.

The substitute for. the late Senator Sum-
ner's Civil Rights bill. reported by Mr. Ere
linghusen from the Judiciary Committee of
the United States Senate is very stringent in
its provisions. 1t provides that all persons
within the jurisdiction of the United States
shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoy
ment of inns, public conveyances-on land or
water-theaters. and other places of public
amusement. and also of common schools and
public institutions of learning or benevolence
supported in whole or in part by general taxa
ton, and Of cemeteries so supported, subject
only to conditions and limitations established
by law, and applicable alike to citizens Of
every race and color, regardless of any pre-
vieus condition of servitude. Any person de-
nying to any citizen any privileges conferred
by the bill shall pay $500 to the person
aggrieved. and shall also be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof, shall be fined not less than $500
nor more than 81 ZOO, or be imprisoned not
less than thirty days nor more than one year
The District and Circuit Courts of the United
States are given, exclusive of the courts of the
several States, cognizance of all ofenses against
the bill, and actions may be prosecuted in any
United States court, wherever defendant may
be found, without regard to the other party.
Any District Attorney who shall willfully fail
to institute and prosecute the proceedings re-
quired, shall, for every such offense forfeit
and pay the sum Of $500 to the person ag-
grieved, and. upon conviction thereof, be
guilty of misdemeanor, and be fined not less
than 81 900 nor more than 5000. No citizen
shall be disqualified for service as q grand or
petit juror in any State or United States
court on account of race, color or previous
condition of servitude, and any officer who

5000.

The Lightning.Rod Mans Mistake,

Up in Blossburg, the other day,
lightning-rod man drove up in front Of
handsome edifice standing in the
midst of trees and shrubs, and spoke tc
Mr.. Summers, who was sitting on the
steps in front. He accosted Summers
as the owner of the residence, and said
"I see you have no lightning rods OIL
this house"
"No," said Summers.
care you going to put any on?"
"Well, / hadn't thought of it," re.
piled Summers.
"You ought to. A tall building like
this is very much exposed. I'd like to
run you up one of my rods twisted
steel, glass tenders, nickle-plated tips
everything complete. May 1 put up
one and show you? I'll do the job
cheap"
Certainly you may, if you want to.
haven't the slightest objection" said
Summers.
During the next half-hour the man
had his ladders up and his assistants at
work and, at the end of that time, the
job was DONE He called Summers out
into the yard to admire it. He said to
Summers
"Now, that is all we'll enough but
if it was my house, I'd have another rod
put on the other side. There is moth
ing like being protected thoroughly"
That's true" said Summers I" it
would be better"
I'm put up another-shall I ?" asked
the man.
"Why, of course, if you think it's
best" said Summers.
Accordingly, the man went to work
again, and soon had the rod in its
place.
"That's first-rate job" he said to
Summers, as they both stood cycling it.
CT like such a man as you are-big-
hearted, liberal, not afraid to put dol
lar down for q good thing. There's
some pleasure in dealing with you. 1
like you so much that I'd put couple
more rods on that house, one on the
north end and one on the south, for al
most nothing"
cit would make things safer, l sup
pose," said Summers.
Certainly it would. I'd better do
it, hadn't I-hey?"
"Just as you think proper" said
Summers.
So the man ran up two more rods,
and then he came down, and said to
Summers
"There, that's done now let's settle
up"
"Do what ?"
"Why, the jobs finished, and now
I'll take my money"
You don't expect me to pay you, 1
hope?"
"Of course do. Didn't you tell
me to put those rods on your house?"
"My house'' shouted Summers.
"Thunder and lightning 1 never or
dered you to put those rods up. 1t
would have been ridiculous. Why, man,
this is the Court House, and I'm here
waiting for the court to assemble. I'm
on the jury. You seem to be anxious
to rush out your rods, and, as it was
none of my business, let you go on.
Pay for it ! Come, now, that's pretty
good"
The Blossburg people say that the
manner in which that hghtning-rod man
tore around town, and swore, was fear
full. But when he got his rods off the
Court House, he left permanently. He
doesn't fancy the place.

Horrible.

There is always great deal of sport
in Washington at the .faar pas made by
new members of Congress and their
families, who are unused to the de-
mands of fashionable life. Fancy the
horror of the diplomats who were
guests at recent state dinner at the
White House at seeing the wives of sew
eral Congressman present in black
dresses with high corsages. ooh, ex-
claimed an appalled, diplomat after

A clergyman, writing to the IONS
Advocate, says: II once married a
bright Young couple, and, as I took the
bride by the hand, at tine close of the
ceremony, and gave her my warmest
congratulations, she tossed her pretty
face, and, pointing to the groom, re-
piled. Il think he is the one to be con-
graduated.

Two little girls, cousins, not hun
dred miles from Providence, went to
bed, the other night, in high glee over
some secret. After they were asleep, the
mother of the younger, going into their
room, had her attention drawn to two

one over each little head. They proved
to be rude attempts at illuminations in
colored crayons, and ran thus 90
