Mr.. JONES NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Mr.. JONES M1sAPPREHENs1oN.-
1t was only two days ago, remarks
a temperance paper, that Jones
was injudiciously full. Being pain
fully aware of his inebriety, he
endeavored to conceal it from the
public by buttoning his coat very
closely, imparting an abnormal
Stiffness to his knees, and tripping
over his own heels. He stalked
up to a street car, walked briskly
in just as the horses started for
ward-and instantly tumbled out
backward without unbending a
mpscle. Straightwayhe recovered
the upright, splashed with mud,
and entered the car and seated
himself beside an acquaintance,
making no sign of his mlshap.
Presently be turned to this indi-
yidual and queried:
"Klishn ?"
"No."
He considered a moment and
then asked:
"Ofetrack ?"
"No."
More ection-sleepily; then
again
"Runoverprespice
"No."
"Splozhn ?"
"No."
Somnolent cogltation.
"Any accident ?"
"Notat ALL"
He took this piece Of informa-
tion into his intellectual NAV, and
digesting it concluded he must be
very drunk indeed. Anxious to
cover up the disgracefuf fact and
turn the matter off respectfully,
he shortly turned again with the
bland observation:
"Well, if I'd anone that I wood
ent got out"
He blinked off into an uncon-
scious state after awhile, then
"woke mp with his eyes very
wide open, to show that he had
only been thinking. He rode on
about a mile beyond his street,
and was finally taken home in a
hack.

THOUGHTS FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT.

Vice is but a nurse of of,agonies.
Vain is the world, but only to
the vain.
Ultra modesty is very nearly
allied to extreme vanity.
Truth may be violated as much
by silence as by falsehood itself:
If We dive to the bottom of
pleasure We are sure to bring up
dirt.
The beautiful are not always
good, but the good are always
beautiful.
There is a silken string connect
ing all virtue. It is called modera-
tion.
Glory will do we'll in homeopa-
thic doses; but it poisons never
theless.
The appreciation of noble deeds
is the next thing to being noble
ourselves.
Thackeray once said, very
finely: Next to excellence is the
appreciation of it.
Our whole duty is embraced in
the two ideas of abstinence and
patience. .-
Doubts increase with knowledge.
It is the unlearned who are most
confident.
The defects of the understand
ing, like those of the face. grow
worse as we grow old.
Old age is often beautiful, and
properly so, for it is the childhood
Of immortality.

SsIsets> Story.
AFTER MANY YEARS.

Let me see,' began Mr.. Worden,
in response to a request to tell a
story while We were seated around
the stove in Mills bar room, one
clustering night last winter. Let
me see., twenty-five years ago, l
entered the store of Day & Co., as
clerk, and twenty-one years ago,
come the night of the first Of Feb
ruary, I had an adventure which I
shall never forget
We drew our benches nearer
to the stove and the retired mer-
chant, whom We knew had 3 good
story in store for US. At my side
on the open settee, sata man-judg-
ing by his silvered hair-.about FIVE
and sixty. BE was traveller, and
stranger to our entire party, and
during our conversation previous to
the merchants nar~rtiye, had been
tacisurn and moody. But when
Mr.. Worden began his story his
eyes were fixed upon his face.
4 was not seventeen continued
the narrator, when I became q
clerk and it was the great event Of
my life. The firm told me I would
have to sleep in the store. l felt
proud Of being allowed to do So;
itshowea that they had great faith
in my honesty. So a lounge was
brought in and placed under the
counter, and there, after locking
the door, I would lay and dream
till daylight.
During the first part Of the win
ter of'4S: our neighboring county Of
Herkimer was infested with 8 gang
of daring robbers, whose depre-
dations were both bold and alarm
ing. The good people became ex-
cited and well might they, for
the villains scrupled not to take
the life Of any one who dared to
defend his property.
Vigilance committees were form
ed, and the gang broken up. Sew
eral cf the villains were captured,
and their cases decided by Judge
Lynch. Those who escaped the
committee went into neighboring
counties, and ours received a few.
During January several bold rob-
berries were committed in Dalton,
which threw our citizens into the
highest state of excitement; but
all eforts-and those made were
strenuous ones-to each the rob-
bers were unayailing.
Day & Co., during the excite
meat, sat back in their easy chairs,
laughing at the peoples scare.
They fancied their store secure,
and when I asked to be allowed TO
keep gun at my bedside, twitted
me at what they termed my cow
ardice. It was not cowardice, boys;
bat I wanted to give the robbers
a bold reception if they paid me a
visit. thought they would not
fail to do this, for my employers
held in their hands large sums of
money belonging to other people
in short they were the bankers
of the village. The money was
enclosed in a safe which I knew
would not resist an experienced
burglar. But they thought the

oke, pierced throughand through
with a steel projectile one-balf
inch diameter by six or seven
inches long. This projectile was
fired from a rife invented by A.
H. Lyman, a well-known inventor
Of this city, and was exhibited as
a specimen of what his principle
could accomplish; that principle
was simply to explode successive
charges behind the projecti!e as it
passed through the barrel, so that
the accumulated force of the ex-
plosions wasimparted to the shotin
one final effort before it leftthe muz-
zle. A cannon twelve feet long
by two and one-quarter inches bore
was made upon this plan and rifed
one turn in twenty-four inches.
1t was intended to pierce the
walls Of iron clads, and was taken
somewhere out upon Long Island
and fred on long range of beach.
Rumor has it that ahorseman gal

are matters of fact, they are not
more 80 than the extraordinary
perfection in the manufacture and
use of the American rifle attain
ed in these later days. If one is
a skilled mathematician he may be
able to use the rifle curved like a
boomerang, which the Irishman
employed to shoot around corners,
but, for most modern purposes
an absolutely straight bore is pre-
ferable. Skill in the use of a gun
depends upon the confidence OF
the marksman that the shot will

circumstances, and as this is
a first requisite, it is easy to
see that absolute perfection of
workmanship is Indispensable
This has.been attained. Recently
we visited a prominent rife maker
and examined the guns which
have been so successful, both at
Creedmoor and in the internation-
al contest at Dollymount, and
it is difficult to see wherein they
could be improved.
THE AMERICAN TARGET RIFLE
or "Creedmoor," as it is called by
the makers, designed for very long
ranges, is certainly an admirable
weapon. The barrel is made of
decarbonized steel, forged in a
solid bar and afterward bored to
suit requirements. Decarbonized
steel varies from ordinary steel in
its nature by being peculiarly soft
and tough, and without the quail
ity Of hardening in water. 1t
cannot be hardened by ordinary
methods. It is fine in grain, close
in texture, and, when of good
quality, absolutely seamless. 1t
can be hammered out cold, like
copper, without splitting; doubled
over on itself, and subjected to the
severest tests without failing.

As usual, it will be duly honored by visits to
the tombs Of the fallen brave. The flowers

dead, in token of the honor in which their
suffering countrymen and their children
children will hold them until Memory ceases

green beds decorated with flowers, but tears
will flow for the thousands Of the sons Of
Louisiana whose graves furrow hundred

THE POWER TO LIMIT AN EXTRA
SESSION.

Governor Kellogg, in his proclamation call
ing an extra session Of the General Assembly,
Limits it to a period of ten DAYS, under and by
virtue Of an &C. Of 1870. In the opinion Of
good lawyers it is not competent for one legis-
lature to limit the session Of the legislature
which succeeds it. The exercise Of the power
would lead to an absurdity, for if it can be
limited to ten days. it can be, in like man
ner, limited to ten hours. or five, or one.
When once in session. the Constitution alone
is paramount in authority to limit its session.
A regular session is limited to sixty days, and
at an extra session, if the Houses disagree as
to the time Of adjournment, the Governor
may adjourn them for forty days. 1t is be-
lieved that the act Of 1870 cannot prescribe a
term for the legislature Of 1875, nor give
valid authority to the Governor to limit it as
attempted in his proclamation.
The continuance of the session after the
24h Of April, with the recognition and &C.
quiesc ence of the Governor (or perhaps with
out it, will in effect abrogate the act Of 1870
by showing lis intrinsic nulity. Nor are the
Houses restricted by the same bill CT the
Governors proclamation from considering
and acting upon any proper matter which
may be brought before it. As advice, the
mention of themes for legislation will have
its proper weight. but only as advice, and in
no degree as dlcta.ion.

ANOTHER CIVIL RIGHTS CASE DE-
OIDED.

On the 18th of March two negroes. Horace
Deyo and Henry Onquce went to the billiard
room Of the hotel Of Peter kstz enbach in
Trenton, n. j., to play game. The privi-
lege was refused, and they brought suit for
damages under the Civil Rights bill before
the United States Commissioner, E. Mercer
Shreve, Esq, who dismissed the complaint
as not coming within the law, and refused to
send the defendant before the United States
District or Circuit Court. He did not con-
slider the question Of the validity Of the bill
under the Constitution, which branch Of the
case is exclusively with the Supreme Court ct
the United States. He held that the bill
''has not changed the colored mans rights or
given him new ones not heretofore enjoyed,
except as to places of public amusement"
The opinion concludes as follows:
The first question is "Does the peculiar
situation of this billiard saloon make it one OF
the accommodations, advantages, facilities
and privileges of the hotel?" think not.
The idea that the Civil Rights bin permits or
encourages a colorei man to force himself
into any mans private shop or house, or into
any eating or boarding house, or establish
ment of any kind, except those mentioned in
the law is unworthy of any enlightened mind.
Such suggestions cannot but strengthen,
malign. prejudice nd array ignorance. The
owner Of billiard saloon has perfect right
to say he will allow no one but Frenchmen to
play, or that he will only allow Eng!ishmen
to play. No one can compel him to tell why
he will not allow Germans, or Spaniards or
colored men or anybody else to play. He has
the right to exclude any or al. Is the de-
fendant's billiard saloon place Of public
within the provisions of the Civil
Rights act? think not. 1t has not all the
elements which make upa place Of public
amusement. Different rules govern the two
places. The Civil Rights bill bestows no
superior privileges.
