The war in Atlanta, Ga, between the po-
lice and the Federal troops has ended. Col.
Brown, commanding at the barracks, has
refused to give his men passes to go to the
city, and consequently the police will have
no occasion to arrest any Of them. In the
melee that occurred last week one soldier
was killed, and it was feared that regular
pitched battle would occur. The captain of
the colored volunteer company in Atlanta
says his command was with the people of
that city, and if the occasion for action had
occurred, he would have had as many men
in line as any other company

It will thus be seen that the Chicago
Journal did not correctly quote what
Judge fancy gave as the reasoning OF the
Court himself as one of the number OF
course) nor did the Journal state correctly
what was decided. We do not expect to
live to see misrepresentation OF Judge Ia
new cease-but while we have any type to
use we propose to take little hand in
showing up people who lie about him.
Quotations and statements like those we
have copied from the Journal convict
their authors of ignorance or malevolence
or both. The Court administered the
law as it existed, giving it's reasons at great
length. The Court did not make the law
and the customs of previous centuries. 1t
stated what they were. Had thelaw been
different, of. course the decision would
have been different. The Court did not
make the law or the facts either-these
existed, and the Court stated them. And
the vile calumniators of Judge fancy
found, when they came into power and Sc
cured majority of the Court, that they
could not do any different, under the then
existing laws and Constitution. The Con-
stitution was then changed, thus giving the
colored people the rights Of citizens. And
now, after IA years of Republican rule,
that party has not yet secured the colored
people in equality of rights; and
with the President and more than two
thirds of each House Of Congress, still
fails to secure our colored fellow citizens m
their just, natural and proper rights. We'll

Max Adler, the humorist, relates the fol-
lowing sad history: Young Archibald
Singerly of Germantown. has been unfor-
tunate. He read in one of the papers that
when the boys of Virginia City wished to
raise their kites they tie the string to
logs tail and make the dog run. 1t occur
red to Mr.. Singerly that us this proceeding
was conducted upon sound rational basis,
he would experiment in the same direction.
The difficulty encountered by Mr.. Singer
ly at the outset was that he had an eX-
tremely large Kite and a mournfully small
dog; and the conclusion of the undertaking
therefore may be anticipated, especially
when we intimate that the wind WAS high.
The residents of the ncighborhood We're
surprised to see dog rushing backwards
down the street. with considerable veloei-
ty. clawing and scratching at the earth
for hole, and emitting ejaculatory howlS.

going in another direction. And they
We're more amazed to perceive that he
seemed to be anchored TO something in the
heavens. But there WAS not time for in
vestigation. In moment a cyclone, or
something of the kind struck the kite, and
before Archibald Singerly could utter Il
scream, his dog had performed about one =
third of the journey to the milky way. 1t
is supposed that the birds eye view enjoy
ed by that animal was magnificent, EN-
bracing as it did Mt. Airy, Conshohocken,
Savannah, ST. Petersburgh and Pekin,
with numerous smaller Villages. But the
precise amount of felicity obtained by
Singerly's dog while dangling amid the
planetary system will perhaps never be
ascertained. unless Singerly meets his VIC
tim in another world. For, as the kite
came sailing down. the string caught a
vane of church steeple. became entangled
and held Singerly's dog in permanent sus-
pense. They tried to blow him loose with
a shot gun, and they succeeded in produc-
ing a shower of sausage meat after each
discharge but when the dog had been shot
away. his tail remained pointing due north
and refused to come down. And one who
has good dog can hear something to his
advantage by applying at Singerlys. Old

named McEwan and Smith were fishing
through the ice on Lake Michigan on
Wednesday Dec 81, and while thus en-
gagged were cut off from the shore by the
separation of the portion of the ice upon
which they happened to be at the time All
their attempts to escape from their frail raft
were unavailing With them they had a
few fish. their spears, a hands led and some
blankets, With only these for food and
shelter they were drifted about on the
Lake for six days, the ice continually yield

On the Monday night succeeding their start
upon their involuntary voyage an Oppor-

were badly frostbitten and swollen, but

STEP BY STEP.-Samuel Burnham's life
was one of constant disappointments. He
would no sooner begin a course of action
than sickness would thwart him. He was,
in this way. kept from college. Because
of this he was compelled to give up teach
ing. By this his literary labors were i'm
peded. and yet his patience was wonder
full, and he was never heard to complain.
The secret of his endurance and cheerful
ness is found in a passage in his diary
written twenty years ago. at a time when
physicians dispared of his life. He wrote :
g If get well, to God will be all the praise;
if not. hope and pray that may be pre-
pared to submit cheerfully to anything he
may have in store for me-" His own life
was an exemplifcation of fthe advice which
he himself gave to a young man before
whom the way looked dark: God will
point out the path he wishes you to take.
God always makes the next step clear.
We are apt to trouble ourselves about the
future, but we forget that one step at a
time is all we have to take. and that we
usually have life enough for that one"
And so, whenever the path of his choosing
was hedged up. he only said, " God wishes
me to do something else," and did it

A PITHY YSERMON.-Many sermon has
been spun out to an hours length that did
not contain a tithe of the sound moral in
struction and counsel to be found in the
following brief and pithy sermon from the
pen of that good man, and racy writer,
Rev. John Todd: p" You are architects OF
YOUR own fortunes. Rely upon your
strength of body and soul. Take for your
motto self-reliance. honesty and industry :;
for your star, faith, perseverance and
pluck; and inscribe on your banner. Be
lust and fear not Don't take too much
advice; stay at the helm and steer your
own ship. Strike not. Think well of
Yourself. Fire above the mark you intend
to hit. Assume your position. Don't
practice excessive humility. You can't
get above your level-water don't run up
hill. Put potatoes in cart over rough
road. and the small ones will 60 to the

that move the world. Civility costs moth

don't smoke don't swear; don't gamble
don't lie; don't deceive OF steal; don't tat
tie. Be polite; be generous; be self-re-
liant. Read good books. Love your fel-
low-man as wen as you love God. Love
your country and obey the laws. Love
truth. Love honor. Always do what
your conscience tells you is your duty, and
leave the consequence to God.
