DIPPED BY MISTAKE.
How n Methodist COlOred Sister Was
TransmOgrffed Into n Baptist.
New York WeekIy


Some Of our worthy cOlOred brethren of
the Baptist persuasion had baptism down
at the creek last Sunday, and the ceremony
attracted a very large crowd Of people.
Mrs. Pitman's cOlored servant girl was very
anxious to be present, and, as it was not
her Sunday out, she slipped away from the
house while the dinner was cooking, and
went around in her working clothes. Her
interest was so intense that she stood close
to the minister, who was in the water,
while the ceremony proceeded. Alter six
or seven had been dipped, the clergyman,
filed with enthusiasm, seized her and pull
ed her into the water. She resisted, but
the minister imagined that she was merely
afraid of the GOODNESS of the water, so be
fore she could explain the situation be
soused her. She came up splutterin' and
exclaimed:
ssOh, I'll fix you, III bust the head Of
fen you, you Urinary trash, sOusin' me in
dat dare creek and nearly drOWnded me,
when You knOWed well enough all de time
dat Use 4 Methodist, and bin Chrssened by
dem dats yer betters, and knows more
about religion den all de Baptisses dat ever
shouted, You mis'able black scumi and me
GOT the rheumatic enough 10 set me crawl
Oh, I'll see what de law kin do for you
II have YOU rested dis very day, or my
names not Johanna johnson, you WOOlly-
headed herrin, NOr hear me?7
But the clergyman was memorable, and
he plunged her under a third time, and
held her there for minute, so as TO let it
soak in and TO do her good. Then she
came up and struck for the shore, and
standing there, looking like a dragged
mermaid cut in ebony, she shook her fist at
the astOnished pastor, and shrieked:
"What you doin'? Lemme 60, / tell
you"
BIT he exerted his strength, and sent
her "ker chuck below the surface again.
She emerged, clawiug the air wildly and
shouting:
"G'way from here! Don't you chuck me
under agiO, you niggeTl'
Then Johanna went home, and the Ger
emony proceeded. Miss johnson is now
persuaded that the Baptists are not any
better than pagans,

ASSESSMENT.

crosses.
We learn from County Assessor HOws
that the assessment books have been COM
pleted for all the districts outside the city
except the Tenth, Eighteenth, Seventeenth
and TWenty-third, and for the First, Sec
Ond and Eighth Wards Of the city. 1t IS
his aim to turn them all over 70 the County
Court Clerk by the first Of September.
In regard to railroad property, he has not
yet decided that to be under his juIisdic-
tiOn. He has determined TO reserve the
assessment Of such till the rest Of the work
is done, when he will investigate the sub
jet and make up his mind as TO what his
duty is in the premises.
As we stated sometime since, a nice question
is here presented. The general assessment
law of the last General Assembly prescribes
that the Assessor shall list, value and as
sess all property, not exempt from taxa
ton. But the same General Assembly
enacted special laws for the taxation Of
railroads and provided a different means Of
assessing them. The perplexity is, shall
the Assessor carry ont the general law in
its fullest application, OF as restricted by
said special laws? Squire HOws inclines TO
the latter course, with the present lights DO
fore him.

WADDY THOMPSON,S BODY.
The Lawyers still WTangIIBg over It
I'm st. Louis.

I'm st. Louis.
st. Louis Dispatch, July 13.
The habeas corpus case OF Gen. Waddy
Thompson was called again this morning
in Circuit Court No. /. Mr.. Warren,
counsel fol- defendant, made a motion 70
quash, arguing that the return of the writ
of habeas corpus was defective in not show
ing that it was accompanied by the indict-
ment, or a copy sent from Tennessee, and
because the original warrant issued by the
Governor of Missouri was not filed with the
return OF exhibited to tine court; also for
the reason that the papers sent out from
Tennessee were not authenticated in any
way.
Col. J. {. NOrmile, counsel for the
prosecution, then made an argument
against the motion 90 quash and against
the exception taken TO the return. He
contended that the original papers and in
dictmeHt need not accompany the warrant
of surrender issued By the Governor Of Mis-
souri, to the Sheriff Of Cole county, Mis-
souri,, for the arrest CT Gen. Thompson and
the delivery Of him into the charge Of the
agent Of Tennessee. In support Of his pO-
sition, he cited several authorities. He
further commended that this habeas corpus
is a proceeding under an act of Congress,
and with which the Legislature Of Mis-
souri, has nothing to do. He argued that
Sheriff AndeTsOn's return to the writ Of
habeas corpus and the copies of the war
rants embraced in the return showed a
strict compliance with all legal require
ments, and as the court has only the ques-
ton of defect in the return 70 consider,
there can be no grounds for discharging the
prisoner from the custody of Sheriff Ander-
son.
Judge Krum then OveTuled the motion
n quash, holding that the return was regJI-
lar and in full compliance with the law.
He also overuled an application to dis
charge the prisoner, but gave counsel for
defendant leave to file an answer to the re-
turn. The case will be called up again to-
morrow morning.

Who Is Mrs. WinSlOW As the ques-
ton is frequently asked, we will simply say
she is a lady who, for upwards Of thirty
years, has untiringly devoted her time and
talents as a Female Physician and Nurse,
principally among children. She has es-
pecially studied the constitution and wants
Of this numerous class, and, as 3 result Of
this effort, and practical knowledge obtain
ell in a lifetime spent as nurse and physi-
clan, she has compounded a Soothing Syrup
for children teething. II operates like
magic, giving rest and health, and is more
over, sure to regulate the bowels. In con
sequence Of this article, Mrs. WinslOw is
becoming wOrld-renOwned As a benefactOr
of her race; children certainly DO RISE UP
and bless her; especially is this the case in
this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing
Syrup are daily sold and used here. We
think Mrs. Winsl0w has immOrLalized her
name by this invaluable article, and we
sincerely believe thousands Of children
have been saved from an early grave by its
timely use, and that millions vet unborn
will share its benefits, and unite in calling
her blessed. No MOTHER has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it the benefit
Of Mrs. WinslOw's Soothing Syrup. Try
