A CLERICAL JoKE.-An anecdotc is told of
Parson Shute, the first minister settled at
South bingham, which for ready wit ought
not to pass unrecorded. 1t appears that the
reverend gentleman was very fond of pud-
ding, so at a ministerial meeting one day the
hostess, in order to crafty the taste OF her
guest, had pudding for dinner. Unfortunately
it came very near the fire, while it was cook
ing, so that when it was served ii was cx-
tremely hot. The parson, without allowing
it time to COOL placed piece at once in
his mouth, and then followed the usual
contortions incident to such an occasion, but
all to no purpose The pudding would not
go, so the parson, who was polite gentleman,
quietly slipped it out of his mouth and into
his coat pocket, all of which was observed by
his brother ministers, who for the purpose Of
joke said: 80 you are putting the pudding
into your pocket, are you?' Oh, yes" said
the parson, all unmoved; II put little piece
in there merely to light my pipe with after
dinner" The explanation, it is needless to
add, was sufficient.

When the Union Pacific railroad was
finished and the cars commenced running,
there was lofty feeling among the people OF
Omaha. 1t was to be the biggest city outside
Of the planet Neptune, and they wanted every
thing-theatres, operas, circuses, dog ilghtss'

| NEGRO GIRL 8 YEARS OLD TIED UP
TO A WALL FOUR NIGHTS BY
HER WRISTS.

On Monday last there came to the Fourth
Precinct Station little colored girl named
Elizabeth BArtell. eight years old, who was &C.
companied by colored woman whose name
is unknown.
The child stated that she had been put out
of the house Of her cousin, one Julia johnson,
residing on Josephine street, between Liberty
and Howard The colored woman then stated
it the child was given her, she would take
good care Of the unfortunae little wanderer.
This offer was accepted by the officials OF
the Fourth Precinct Station, and the child
departed in the company Of the woman. Last
night, when about to put the girl to bed, the
woman perceived marks all over her body,
and, inquiring about them, the child stated
that she came from Hupe's plantation, that
her mother or guardian had come to town, and
left her at the house Of q cousin named Julia
johnson, on the above street.
After a few lday s stay in that house, Julia
johnson began ill-treating her by tying her
with ropes around her arms and hanging her
to the wall, after which she would taks cow
hide and strike her until exhausted. She
would sometimes take stick and use it on
the unfortunate little girl
Upon ascertaining all these facts the woman
took the child back to the Station and related
the child's statement to the officers. who then
took her in charge. A reporter hearing Of
this outrage repaired to the Station and was
shown the victim.
Her body il lacerated with marks made by
q COW hide, and many Of the cuts are yet fresh,
her face having three gashes. Upon the right
side of her head blow had been inflicted with
. stick or club. bass
She complains great deal of her right
side, saying that she was struck there with
stick. The officers took her to Judge Staes
this morning to be disposed Of
AfRdavits have been made and warrants
issued for the arrest of all parties implicated.

ANOTHER OF CLINTON'S TRICKS.

could, Zip Van Wrinkle like, rise from hi
steep Of years, and take the recorded myste
rious doings Of the last gathering Of the tes
men among the faithful, assembled together
under the style and title Of the Legislature Of
the State Of Louisiana, the old chaps eyes
would widen, and forgetting that at the mo-
ment he was living in "an advanced age,
and remembering only the good old ways Of
the past, when the men of Louisiana, and not
its former slaves, made laws, he would ponder
on it as a romance Of thrilling, but rather
too improbable nature.
And even to the more enlightened" people
of the present, even to the progressive people
of the war, the high-handed proceedings and
unblushing robbery Of the State are cause OF
wonder as to how any man or set OF men
would dare to be guilty Of them.

Morales streets. Owing to the inclemency Of
the weather the club was not out in full force.

stated that the purpose Of the call was to re.
organize for the coming campaign, elect
officers and two delegates to the parish CON-
mittee. oss
Mr.. Lewis was renominated for the Office Of
President. but declined, his reasons being
that he had served for some time in this ca
pacity, and he thought it would be well to
make room Tor some one else. Besides, he
had other engagements which would prevent
his giving that attention to work within the
ward which is absolutely necessary from its
peculiar geographical formation, requiring
the existence and active operation of a mum.
Der of auxiliary clubs in conjunction with
the Central Club.
1t was therefore determined to postpone
the election Of officers, and delegates to the
Parish Committee, until the next meeting, in
order to enable those who were absent to be pres
ent and express their choice in these import
ant preliminary matters.
It was also determined that when the club
adjourn, it be to meet again in Ponstein Hall,
next Monday, goth inst. at o'clock P. NJ
The resignation Of Mr.. Charles F. Clai-
bourne, Secretary, as al officer and member,
was accepted.
The following resolutions were then unani-
mously adopted, after hearty Endorsement
in the short debate had thereon:
hesoced. That in the unwarrantable seizure
by the metropolitan police of the type and
forms of the New Orleans BuLLET1N- seiz-
ure made at midnight, without affidavit and
IN violation of every precept Of republican
government-we find an outrageous attack
upon civil liberty through, piratical
attempt to throttle the press, and render it
servile and subservient to the designs Of

Resolved, That the conduct Of the public
officials concerned in this lawless and revolu-
tiopary proceeding is deserving Of the seyerest
censure and condemnation.
Resolved, That we commend the energy and
independence of the New Orleans BULLETIN
in ferreting outand exposing the misconduct,
villainies and official corruption Of public
officers, high and low, who are engaged in
bringing ruin and disaster on our State and
country.
