Saturday evening, the 9th, Rev. a. Ed
monds, a young Methodist minister, who
had been on Il visit to James Edmonds, in
Carroll county, borrowed II mule to rude
away on. In tba course of three or i0ur
hours the mule returned 10 the house
without its rider, and search was insti-
tuted. The mules tracks were followed
through the prairie. and as they passed an
old wagon they showed clearly that the
mule became frigh,cd and ran away.
From the tracks 1t is supposed that the
mule ran violently across the prairie until
it came to pond OF water ab0ul three or
four feet deep, when the animal sudden
ly stopped and wheeled about, throwing
its rider oyer its head into the water He
was evidently stunned by the fall. and,
unable to gain an upright position, was
found dead in the pond, His hat was
found on the edge o! the pond where it
hai 'nNen when the fatal plunge over the
mule's head was made. His body was
recovered.

"A SENATORsIIIP BoUGiIT. The United

been virtually put up at auction, and has
been bid off by VIM. ii. Barnum--ior it is
to be assumed that Mr.. Barnum's nomina.
ton by the Democratic caucus on We'd
nesday evening is equivalent to an cleo
tion. The style of the transaction has
been a little peculiar, in order to fit it to
the political market, but the pecuniary
and the mercenary features stand out as
distinctly as il the scene had been an
auction-room or brokers office The
object of the competitors-two OF the
richest men in the State-was to secure
favorable Legislature. and the simplest
way, and to these men the most effectual,
was to buy in their friends as members.
One OF them, the present Senator English,
is said to have laid out S2l, 800 in the can.
yass, and his friends tor some time
thought he had sure thing of it. The
other, Mr.. Barnum, proved TO he the bet

own counsel. or to use the poltico- COM
mercial dialect. covered his tracks" bet
ter. but because he "doublc discounted
English" AS he claims, in his actual en-
penditures, and so the Senatorship is his.
because he has bought it with hard cash
down on the nail. His stocks and bonds
and his iron mills are not held by more

Memphis, lIenn.) AuazancAe special from
Jackson, Miss. of the 29tll 'ult., says: After
the organization of a Hayes and Wheeler
Club at Vicksburg last night, ex-senator
Pease was rottelaegged by a mob while at
tempting to speak from the gallery of the
post office. A. Harper, an old and respected
citizen of Vicksburg, was chairman of the
meeting, but was powerless to suppress the
disorder. a9
About a. m. on the 30th ult., the Day
ton Short Line depot at Cincinnati, Ohio,
was burned with it's contents. The fire be-
gan among a lot of coal oil barrels in an I'M
explained manner. The building was a sub
stantial brick structure and worth So. 900.
There was an unusually large amount of
freight stored in the building, principally
for the city merchants. The loss of freight
is variously estimated at from $3.50, 900 to
$3.50, 900, upon which there is very little if
any assurance.
Fresh excitement sprung up in Shreye-
port, La, on the 1st INST, in consequence of
the report that the negroes were arming in
the northern part of the parish and coming
to burn the town. About seventy-five ne
groes, mounted and on foot, were found at
Captain Hellop's place. A parley ensued,
and the negroes refused to disarm. They
said they would come back with 500 men.
Captain Theobald with fifteen men block
AIDED the road with rails. The news spread
rapidly, and armed whites of this and
Moorehead parishes went to the scene. The
excitement was intense, but nothing oc-
Cured and no gun was fired. The armed
negroes said they were told to arm by the
sheriff of the parish, (colored), and to come
to Monroe and to burn the town. In the
southern part Of the parish, whele the
houses were first fired intO and the trouble
began, leading citizens report all quiet.
Some scattering demonstrations they say
were made last night, but nothing serious.
The situation is decidedly anxious, but the
leading citizens are proceeding with pru-
dence and moderation.

That was ala simple blessing from
an old mana man against whose per-
sonal character no word has ever
breathed. Whatever errors or sins may
be counted to the Pope by the enemies
of his Church, the record OF the man has
been stainless. Surely for such bless
ing no Protestant could feel the worse.
AS soon as the Pope had ceas ed speak
ing, the curtains were once more with
drawn, and he left Us, with only pleas
ing memories Of our audience. We gath
cred up our rosaries and crucifixes, and.
left the Vatican by the same circuitous
way we had come. We left, speaking oil
the Pope as man whose race was sweet
aud tender with the ''beauty of hoif-
ness" who, whatever his relations to
the Church and world may be, is a
gentle, kind old man.
