KELLOGG'S PETS ABROAD.
DARING ROBBERY ON BROADWAY.

Coupling the accounts which reach us in
our Northern exchanges, with the COMPARE
tive immunity we are just now enjoying,
some of Kelloggs Pets have apparently
sought cooler cline in which to ply their
customary avocatiOn. The case of the Swed-
ish sea captain, who was recently drugged
in broad daylight, in the surging crowd of
Broadway, shows that migration to a differ
ent latitude has by no means diminished
their audacity. The said sea captain in his
voyagings up and down the earth, had ac-
cumuiated rough diamonds to the number
of 565, and to the value of $4,000.
Seeking a purchaser in New York city, he
found a diamond broker at 10 Broadway,
between Fourth street and Washington
Place. On the staircase he met young
man who represented himself as the bro
ker's clerk. To him he impaired his bust
ness, and by him was informed that said
broker would not be in the office till in
the afternoon. Returning at that hour he
met the same young man on the street, ac-
companied by an elegantly dressed female
wearing massive jewelry, etc. He readily
agreed to accompany them to their door,
but few blocks away, where the clerk
would leave his wife and return to the office
with him. They had gone but few steps,
when the woman, drawing a b0nb0nniere from
her pocket put a pastil in her mouth and
gave the young man one, Mr.. Anderson
the sea captain-t0Ok one also, and ate it,.
In a few seconds he felt himself growing
dizzy. The woman, taking a lace handker-
chief from her pocket, said: 'You have a
! little black or cigar ash on your nose, let
me wipe it Off" She then drew her hand
kerchief across his face, after which he re-
members nothing till he found himself alone
/ in very damp dark room with but dim
consciousness of what had occurred.
-Four masked men came in and
gave him a cup of coffee, which
he drank and then slept again. He was
awakened by the two men shaking him.
They bandaged his eyes, tied his hands be-
| hind his back, and sprinklng him well with
chorOform, placed him in a carriage Loos-
| ing consciousness again, he next found him
self at | o'clock Wednesday morning (hav-
ing been dragged Monday afternoon) lean
ing against a street fence in Spruce street.
| He staggered to drug store, where he re-
lated what had happened, got some medi-
cine and coffee, and with the aid of police
man returned to his hotel. His diamonds,
Jewelry, watch, ETC., were all gone, to the
amount of $4,000. The matter has been

without result. In New York as in New Or
leans, to look for redress from the police de-
partment is apparently an idle task.
The "civil rights agitation has had a
great effect in arousing and uniting the Dem
Ocrats Of Tennessee, and in driving from the
Radical ranks many hundred white men in
the eastern part of the State. 1t is now con-
tidently said that the election in the fall will
show great political change. Instead of
three Democrats and seven Republicans, as
the Congressional delegation is now divided
the Democrats count on electing seven at
least They also expect to secure the Legis-
lature and Democratic United States Sem
ator in place of Brownlow, who will not die,
but whose term will expire next March. All
the Tennessee Radical Congressman, except
| two, oppose the Civil Rights bill, but they
cannot blind the people to the fact that it is
a Radical measure.
An old darkey came in town last week
with sack, a two gallon jug, and an old
army canteen. He came to see de Cub
ment,' as he said, having learned that it
was there for the purpose of issuing ra-
tons. He told some gentlemen that ode
boss = furnished him and his family with
provisions, but he would take his share OF
the government ratiOns in whisky. The
canteen was sent by Aunt Dinah for quart,
as she couldn't come in herself convenient
Indianapolis Nescs.
