KISSING BY DISFAVOR.

The Baltimore American says The
ethics of question of sound provoca-
ton to personal assault are so cloudy
that it is perfectly useless to endeavor
| to decide the degree of provocation
which iustifies a man in turning to pis-
! tolls as a remedy for aggrieved honor;
but Ii duel were at any time iustifiable,
| it would be SO in the case of young
| man at Memphis. He attended a pic
mic, and in the midst of it the girls or
ganized a secret socity and called
for candidates for initiation from
| among the young men. The
young men were not backward in the
matter; they went into the ceremony.
not like sheep to the shambles, most
confindingly; but when they came to
the initiation, unlike sheep at the
shambles, they rather liked it. There
was but one degree to the ceremony,
but that one was nice, consisting as it
did OF blind folding each candidate and
leading him into the center of 'smagic
circle" formed by the young ladies',
when he was made to kneel and was
kissed, being subsequently made to
guess who kissed him. Such pro-
gramme would suit most men, and some
of those initiated wanted very badly to
take another degree. Finally the young
ladies admitted that one gentleman, a
real lady-killer, should be allowed the
privilege he asked for, and he accord
ingly kneeled down with look of in
tense complacency upon his face that he
should be thus selected as more attrac-
tive than other men. He was kissed
and the bandage removed from his eyes,
only to disclose to him the fact that his
lips had been pressed by the aggressive
ly protruding ones of swarthy negro,
who had accompanied the party as a
waiter. Of course there was roar, and
of course the lady-kilier was mad. It
appeared, subsequently, that all the
young had been deceived, the kissing
having been done by gentleman acting
as a confederate of the ladies', but there
was no balm in Gilead for the man kiss
ed by the negro. He must have salts
faction from somebody, and he sought
to get it from the gentleman who was in
league with the ladies. Notes have
passed, and the Memphis papers talk of
a duel and gore. Sympathy would be
wasted on the diminished lady-l1iller,
but it isn't at all surprising that he
wants to fight. He had aggravation
enough.

THE reports of customs and internal

The reports of customs and internal
revenue receipts for the year ending
June 80 are all in, and the tables given
in our Washinton special show precisely
the condition of those branches of the
service. There has been very percep-
tble diminution in the customs receipts,
part which is ascribed to the dullness of
trade, and part of it to the heavy smug-
Cling operations carried on during the
year. There is total deficit in the
treasury of nearly twenty millions of
dollars. 1t is becoming apparent that
even the increased whisky tax voted by
the last congress will not be sufficient to
meettherequirements of the government,
and officials are already casting about
for some other source which shall yield
more money. Everybody knows that
the restoration of the tax on tea and
coffee will supply the deficiency, and as
its abolition has not resulted in a reduc-
tion of the cost to the consumers, there
appears to be no good reason why it
should not be restored. The next con-
gress will be called upon to act in this
matter early in the session.

no escape for her-none. There was
only the one question to be solved: Was
she to die by the unwilling hand of a
pityiug stranger, or be killed crlally by
professional murderers2 What world
of terror must have been compassed in a
few minutes of her life as she lay watch
ing and waiting there
The clock began to chime the quart
ers; it was about to strike. At given
signal the statue-like figure stepped for
ward and rapidly uncoiled rope with a
moose already made; they were about
to slip it over his head and hang him to
a beam which ran along the centre of
the ceiling. The horror of facing sud
den and violent end seized him-his
death would avail her nothing for whom
he died. His senses were in a wh1rl, he
threw up his hands and sprang forward
'sI'll do it p he exclaimed, and fell on
his knees beside her "They will have
your life; I cannot save You, child; but I
can shield you from their rough, cruel
hands, and put you p,rinlessly to rest
Forgive me, for it is in mercy to you I
do this cruel deed
The white hand went out to him and
closed over his in a soft, forgiving clasp;
the agony died out of the sweet eyes as
they rested one moment on his face;
then with a low sigh she closed them
and turned away her head. In another
moment her young life was ebbing slow
ly away. He remained by her side,
holding her hand in his until all was
over. He would not for second leave
her with these stern men, lest wound
ing word or rough touch might disturb
her on her way from this world to the
next. He was conducted from this
place in the same way as he had entered
it, and when his conductors took leave
of him they suggested that it would be
as well if he would leave Naples with as
little delay as possible. This forced
murder, for such it really was, lay upon
his conscience to the end of his life,
and filed it with one long remorse, a
living nightmare, for that scene was al
ways present to his mind. The change
that had SO long puzzled us puzzled us
no more. He could not carry his secret
to the grave with him, SO he gave it into
our keeping.
''It's terrible story!" exclaimed.
"And, unlike most terrible stories, it
is true" he answered. Come out for q
breath of fresh air and sunshine, to
blow this gloomy thought from our
senses,

The Chicago Inter- Ocean will not
commend itself to the favor of the Re
publicans of Wisconsin by its structures
upon some of the resolutions adopted
by the State Convention. There were
present when the platform was read no
less than 800 representatives of the party
gathered from all parts of the State, and
it was received with the utmost enthus-
iasm, and no resolutions were more
warmly greeted than those which have
excited the displeasure of the Inter-
Ocean. We are haunted by some doubts
as to whether that paper has any special
mission to instruct such body as was
assembled at Madison, on Wednesday,
in the principles of the Republican
party.-Sentiaael.

AN old negro woman, while going down

AN old negro woman, while going down
street the other morning, managed to
step into the moose of a cord, which, up
on drawing together, connected her off
leg with powder magazine in the shape
of a bunch of lighted ire-crackers. For
the next five minutes affairs were lively
in that neighborhood, and when the
fusilade ended, and the smoke cleared
away, an army of small boys were seen
disappearing in the distance, with an in
furiated female African following them
on chop, skip, aud jump" shouting
at every bound: s'You little white
devils. you, gosh-a-mighty, only lemme
cotch my fingers in yo' wool an I blesses

Republican State Convention has pre-
sented strong ticket for state officers,
to be supported by the voters of that
State next November. Hon. Harrison
Ludington, of Milwaukee, was nominal

in Wisconsin arouse themselves to active

THE SHIP OF SOLOMON.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.


By Arizona's sea of sand
Some fearded miners, gray and old,
And resolute in search Of gold,
Sat down 10 tap the savage land
They tented in canOn'S mouth
That gaped against the warm wide south,
And underneath wave-laShed wall,
Where now nor rains nor winds may fall,
They deived the level. salt-white sands
For gold with bold and horny hands.
A miner stood beside his mine,
He pulled his beard, then looked away
Across the level sea of sand,
Beneath his broad and hairy hand,
A hand as hard as knots of pine.
1T looks so like a sea-" said he.
He pulled his beard and he did say,
ut looks just like Il dried-up sea-
Again he pulled that beard of his,
But said no other thing than this.
A stalwart miner dealt stroke,
And struck a buried beam of oak;
An old ships beam the shaft appeared.
With storm-worn, faded figurehead.
The miner twisted his long beard,
Leaned ON his pick axe as he spoke:
'''Tis from some long-iost Ship he said.
''Sone laden ship of Solomon
That sailed these lonesome seas upon
In search of Ophir's mine ah me,
That sailed this dried-up desert sea-

A CHICAGO inventor comes forward
with rival to the Keely motor, ,and has
progressed SO far to be willing to state
that by the combination of air and wat
er he has produced pressure of 10000
pounds to the square inch. Further
the Chicago inventor refuses to partic-
ularize. He is running a race with
Keely to reach the Patent Office first
with model, although, ignorant of the
precise principles of the other machine,
he does not know that the two inven-
tions will conflict. Secrecy and ret

well as in Philadelphia, and the public
are vastly more interested in what re-
mains to be told than in what they have
