THERE is nothing half so funny as
practical joke, and this, as told by an
Eastern paper. is regular rib-tickler:
Frederick Walker and Peter KOhler,
Of Guttenburg, n. J., stuffed an old
suit of clothes with straw on Tuesday
night, and carried il to Bulls Ferry
road and Herman avenue, where they
placed it against lamp post. About
midnight they began an imaginary
quarrel in loud tone, and continued
it until number of people were arous-
ed from their beds. Then they shot
the imaginary man. The body fell
down, aud the young men ran away.
The neighbors, thinking a murder had
been committed, chased the young
men, and Kohler was shot in the leg
before the deception was explained. F"
Think what solid enjoyment Mr..
Kohler will have laughing at that fol
six weeks, while he nurses his leg; and
what a screaming farce it would
have been for his whole family if hi
had been sh OF in the head.

Associated Press Enterprise.

The twenty third annual convention Of

The press at large is generally interested in
the action of the Union, but the Associated
Press agents made but little effort to give
it's doings publicity. New Orleans was
favored with the names of officers elected
yesterday. At the same time We received a
Kansas City paper containing the same dis.
patch. 1t is one of the idio,-syncracies of
the Press agents to send us trash we
do not want, and leave important news to
come by chance. or not at all by telegraph.
We have many times had occasion to com.
plain of the neglect Of the newsgatherefs
Of the Associated Press, and the cut given
to the Printers Union is but one instance
out of many. If a train on some warming
Panhandle route had run over thin COW
belonging to swill dairy. we should have
been informed as promptly as we are told
of murder IN Memphis, or OF Demo
cratic ward meeting at Confederate Y

part Of the Press agents pleasure or duty
to send US intelligent or important dis.
patches concerning matters on which all
desire to be informed.

The police jury of St. Charles parish has
adopted an ordinance prohibiting dealers
opening stores or trafficing on Sundays.
This touch Of piety looks little odd when
it il advertised that on the fourth of July
SUNDAY, there will be extraordinary fancy
if not wicked doing. to celebrate inde-
pendence day. Closing stores in that sec.
ton during Sundays will operate to the
disadvantage Of nearly all the working
colored people. who have but that day to
make their purchases, unless they sacrifice
half of week day. Many residents Of
the parish intend to question the validity Of
the ordinance.

Death of Sergeant E. &. vankirk.

! Sunday evening, At his residence, Z. C.
| Vankirk. sergeant Of the first precinct
| and one of the best officers on the Metro
politan Police force, died. He had suffered
! from vsriOloid, rendered more dangerous
| by devotion TO duty; at its first attack be.
| came convalescent. but catching cold. suf-
fered Q relapse and failed rapidly.
He was born in New York State, and at
the first outbreak Of the war enlisted. He
twice re-enlisted at the expiration OF his
time. and served till after the close OF the
| war. His certificates Of honorable discharge
speak as highly of him as is possible in such
documents, and he never did any act which
would alter the opinions then expressed by
his superiors.
As member Of the police he thoroughly
understood his duty in theory and detail
and never failed to perform it in letter and
spirit. Never promoted By favoritism, he
worked his way up by hard work and force
of acknowledged merit. Quiet and unas.
suming in his manner he possessed force
of character and a determined will, whose
value was only learned by long acquaint-
ance. His friends were many and staunch,
for they had grown into knowledge Of his
good qualities. From those who knew him
we'll and understood his character he could
never receive anything but praise.
There were many times in his life that he
was the object Of unstinted, vindictive
abuse. 1t was the more virulent in proper
tion to the lack of reason for it. He never
complained under these unjust attacks, nor
sought notoriety BY seeking q newspaper
controversy. He was sontent with the con.
sciOusness Of having performed his duty
and received the commendation of his su-
periors. The rest he could trust to time.
When the cause was better known, and he
justified by those who had mistaken him be.
fore. he had an additional pleasure in ex-
cusing the error. No one ever deserved
harsh words less. or could endure them
better.
He was hardly thirty four years old
when he died, and with him an honest man,
true friend, an atfectionate husband and
father, faithful officer and good citizen
has passed away. whom it will be hard in
