The Indianapolis Herald says: The
other evening a young lady abruptly
turned the corner and very rudely ran
against boy who was small and ragged
and freckled. Stopping as soon as she
could, she turned to him and said:
81 beg your pardon. Indeed, 1 am
very sorry"
The small, ragged and freckled boy
looked up in blank amazement for an
instant; then taking off about three
fourths of a cap, he bowed very low,
smiled until hts face became lost in the
smile, and answered:
"You can hev my parding and
welcome, miss, and yer may run again
me and knocg me clean down, an 1
won't say word" After the youhg lady
passed on he turned to comrade aud
said, half apclogetically; 81 never had
any one ask my parding and it kind O
took me off my feet"

A PRIEST BURIED ALIVE.

One Segondo. gardener, has COM
fessed to having murdered M. Blanque,
the provost Of a religious college at
Pradss, France, his object in perpetra-
ting this crime being to obtain from the !
successor of the murdered man the sum
of fifty francs, which he says he had
entrusted to NJ. Blanque. lie relates
that lie committed the crime in the foI-.s
lowing manner:
On April 9th, about o'clock in th2
morning, he led NJ. Blanque into ID
garden under the pretext of pointing %
some repairs, and on reaching the do
| of cellar seized gun which he Ia
zconcealed three days before ana free &C
the old man. AS M. Blanque fell his
head struck against the corner of the
wall and he cried out, looking intently
at his murderer, "Ah, Segondol poor
Segondoi' The victim was not dead
but the Spaniard took out his pocket
handkerchief, wound it round the neck
of NJ. Blanque, and drew it so tight that
the unfortunate man was unable to cry
out for assistance. He then dragged him
down the steps Of the cellar, and left him
there while he went to fetch a spade
and pickaxe whercwith to dig the
grave.
The provost, wounded and gagged,
could neither defend himself nor call
for help, and was obliged to look on in
silence while the hole was being made.
Tears ran down the poor mans eyes ;
he crossed his hands over his chest and
muttered hoarse prayer. When a
sufficient depth had been reached
Segondo seized the body of the priest
In his arms and cast him into the sandy
hollow. M. Blanque fell into the pit
head foremost, and still living. He
struggled hard to rise, and this gave
the murder considerable trouble, so
that in order to effect his purpose he /
was obliged to hit bis victim on the
head with the spade. The blow was sol
| violent that the iron made a woundsl

He then stamped upon 1t, and after

SENATOR MORTON 5 proposition to re-es-
tablish equal suffrage in the District of
Columbia deserves the support and encour-
agement Of every true Republican. The
only argument that can be advanced
against it is embraced in the trite illusions
to the "Hon. Feather Busters" who COM
posed our last Legislative Assembly. But
we submit that it is sufficient, and that
if suffrage should be restored to us,
as We hope and believe it will be, our
citlZcrs will see to it that better men
are elected TO legislate for aad govern
them than those who won so much doubt
ful glory few years ago as the patrons of
GCdfrey's restaurant. If they do not see

they will deserve the consequences which

This question may starle Sunset Cox and

annex hereto an extract from a speech de-
livered by Hill at banquet given in honor
Of Hon. Columbus Delano at the Kimball
house, in Atlanta, Georgia, on the eth of
December, 1870, by Hon. Il. B. Bullock,
then Governor of that State:
"Some people say that am not good
Democrat. II ever was a Democrat, l can
honestly say that l did not go to be. Ap-
plause.1 Twas not Democrat certainly from
choice, and if Democrat at all, Twas Demo-
CTat from necessity

from the lips. Of the AndersonviIle de-
fender, but it was at banquet, you know,
