The Detroit Free Press tells funny story
Of about young man of that city, named
Charles Perrin. Charles became enamored
OF young lady, but she did not reciprocate
his attachment. This enraged the young
man, and he swere an awful swear that he
would have revenge. He procured bottle
containing prussic acid, and sought the lady
again. He would give her one more chance,
and then if she refused him, he would spoil
her beauty forever. Again he importuned
her, and again she refused. The vicious
scamp put his hand in his pocket to draw the
bottle, and here we quote from the Press:
Something bit him. He thought it was
dog, but it wasn't The cork had worked
out Of the bottle, and his coat-tails were turn
ing brick color at the rate of yard minute.
The acid wasn't content with the coat-tails,
but struck out for flesh, and in about a min
ute the young man was dancing around the
house as if to escape bullet. Shouting and
whooping, he got out of doors and threw off
most of his clothing and rolled in the mud,
and it was some time before any one could
find out whether he had snakes in his boots
or had sat down on brad-awl. He was SO
badly burned that two men had to help him
to his boarding house, where a physician
dressed his burns. This young man now pre-
fers to stand at bis meals, and considers
sleeping on the back unhealthy.

From the Territorial Enterprise.

From the Territorial Enterprise.
Ten or twelve years ago there was miner
working in the upper levels of the Comstock
at $4 per day. He lived in a little cabin down
the canyon, did his own cooking, and whistled
softly, ''Theres good time coming, boys" "
To-day that miner walks about the streets of
Virginia City, as cordial as in the old days (;
he dresses no better than any ordinary gentle
man of Virginia, and eats no better food than
a conscientious editor ought to have. And
yet, as his fortune is rated in the stock list
daily, he is 50 rich that, were his stocks
turned into money, he could lend Scott that
little old $7O,000,0 900 he wants and have
enough left to live comfortably upon. He
could, unaided, 60 down and open, at his
own expense, the Darien canal; or, should
his fancy run that way, he could advertise
tomorrow that the government through him
had determined to resume Immediately specie
payment. and pretty nearly make the promise
good. He could endow college in each
State of the Union with $4,000, 900 each, or
could build a double track narrow gauge rail-
road from San Francisco to New York and
solve at once the problem of cheap transpor-
tation. There is no telling, indeed, what he
might do; but what he will do is apparent
enough. He was here when thirty feet of
ore near the surface was big mine. At
fifteen hundred feet he has found it three or
four times as wide. He believes at four
thousand he will strike it five hundred feet
wide and get rich, and he is going for it.

The Man with the MelOllcOn.

| The man with the melodeon is not regard
| ed as useful addition to quiet neighbor-
hood.
Thousands of human beings have succeed
ed in winning the affections of their neigh
bors without the aid of any matudinal massa-
cres of melody.
The presence of melodeon in an other
wise well-ordered community sets the people
to thinking.
What they principally think is, How
much will it cost to buy the owner out
Moreover, it tends to make the bows too
festive, as it were.
They hear so much about the man with the
melodeon as to regard him as a sort of evil
genius, whom it wonld be virtue to annoy
Hence, in the midst of a morning salvo of
"Old Hundred" or ''The Three Blind
Crows" he is sometimes dazzled by the ap-
partition OF flying potato, or startled by the
impact Of a tomato against the opposite wall.
Misunderstanding the meaning of these sig
nails, he plays Oh, and so do the boys, until
policeman surprises a couple of them, and
two households are made wretched for the
day.
In English cities the man with the melo-
deon is frequently beguiled into going abroad

across the Rhine.
The Dutch arrest him and set him to work
on the dykes for every tune he plays before
the sun is two hours high.
Unhappily, none of these wise provisions
prevail in the United States, and hither the
man with the melodeon f1ocks from all parts
of the universe.
In consequence OF this, as statistics show,
emigration to America has vastly decreased
within the last few years, while thousands
are going back to the mother country. New
there is no deficiency of public
spirit on the question, and it is believed that
no indictment for arson would lie against !

The idea that legally elected member of
State Legislature, one whose election was
not and IS not doubted or contested by his
politicl opponents while on his way to as
sumo the duties of his office, will strike the
average reader as something criminally
strange. Yet it recently occurred in two or
more instances preceding the recent organi-
zation of the Legislature of Louisiana. Mr..
A. J. Cousin, of the Parish of St. Tammany,
one of the kidnapped victims, recites his adj
ventures in the New Orleans Republican.
We learn from this recital that he was kept
in durance, sometimes in the hold of river
steamer, at others in the ''piney-woods, and
at all times beyond the possibility of commu-
nicating with his friends until after the Or
ganization of the Legislature. He was at
no time in charge Of Sheriff, deputy sheriff,
or any other officer known to law. His kid
nappers told him they had nothing in the
world against him, and their only object in
holding him was to prevent his presence at
the organization of the Legislature" One Of
them characterized himself as ''lieutenant
of PENIS militia And yet these scoundrels
complain of military interference in the
organization of the Legislature

THE fact stands boldly out that thousands
of innocent men have been murdered in cold
blood in various parts of the South. for no
other reason than that they were colored. or
that they were Republicans. There is abund-
ant testimony upon this point that can not be
disputed. The country wants peace at the
South but it must be based upon justice.
Murderers must be punished, the laws must
be obeyed. and the rights of citizens respect
ed, befor there can be lasting peace or pros
perity. The National Government is bound
to protect citizens in their rights, if the State
or municipal governments refuse or fail to do
1t. Except in such cases the National Gov
ernment has not interfered.
