made statement to the effect that the
success Of the Democrats in this election

the situation, and would take up arms, II
necessary, in defense OF the freedom OF
their colorcd neighbors and their fellow.

was instantaneous and deafening. By
putting that question, Mr.. Lamar sue

used In lavish manner by the Radica
leaders of the South for the purpose o
Influencing the votes Of the black men

HuMBUG ON LEGs.-There is in Kan
sas City now horse with a history
The horse in question is a delusion and
snare upon four legs. He is large
animal, finely formed and of splendid
carriage, but his merits are strictly SUI
perfieial. Drive him for half mile
and he breaks down completely, becom-
ing miserable wreck, scarcely capable
OF getting himself back to the stable.
Thousands of dollars'have been lost and
made upon him, for his appearance will
deceive the shrcwdest jockey. The bare
places upon his side would indicate SER
vice in harness, but the bare places are
the result of artfnl trimming. Its es-
timated that this remarkable horse has
been sold upon an average of twice a
week for years. The horse-jockey new
er tells of his own misfortunes, and so
the horse has been banded about. One
man, according to the Mail, is said to
have made a small fortune selling the
horse at high figure repeatedly, and
as often getting him again through
agents tor a small one. The wonderful
steed is always for sale, and when he
becomes too well known in one locality
is transferred to another. He is said to
have made the tour of all the principal
towns from New Orleans to Kansas
City, and to be soon started working
his way through Leavenworth to st.
Joseph. He will probably terminate
his travels in Chicago, where he will
be appreciated at his true worth, and
ought to have stall in the Board of
Trade Building as symbolic presiding
divinity.-(St. Louis Republican.

The London Court Circular,
which had it been issued only thirty
years ago wonld never have men

this notice in its issue of March 49,:
The Oratory (Roman Catholic) Church,
Brompton, was crowded on Tuesday with
a fashionable congregation, the occasion
being one of the greatest solemnitiOs of
the Roman Catholic Church, namely, the
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament"
Amongst those who took leading part
was the Marquis of Ripon, who, it is now
well known, is a member of the Roman
Catholic communion. In the procession
of the blessed sacrament around the
church the noble Marquis assisted as one
Of the bearers of the canopy which was
held over the sacred host; and this public
testimony Of his belief in the real presence
of our Savior in the blessed sacrament at
tracted much observation. Tho other
bearers of the canopy with His Lordship
were the Hon. Mr.. North, the Hon. Mr..
Law and Mr.. Gallon. The altar of EXPOSE
tion and the sanctuary were brilliantly
Illuminated and tastefillly laid out with
the choicest flowers. The Marquis of Ri
pom joined with the congregation in ador-
ing the blessed sacrament.
