The death Of J. Sella Martin seems to
have alarmed and greatly exercised the
negro politicians Of this city. 1t ought,
a. least, TO serve as a warning to them
70 beware of Radical politics, which is
as certain death to a man as knife grind
ing. 1t is only question Of time. and
of mans constitution, how long he
can withstand the wearing and exhaust
ing effect OF Radical politics.
Martin was among the most intelli-
gent OF the colored men OF this State
we'll educated, a good orator, and an
abie preacher. He commenced as q
minister, but, like most OF the other
negro preachers, wandered Off into poll
los. This, with its necessary attendant
in Radical circles, bad whisky, was the
universally admitted cause Of his death,
whether it was suicide or not.
The late death Of Senator Chadbourn
rom the effects OF the howiing st.
Charles Theatre, the suicide Of Martin
from excesses in politics would seem to
iorewarn the country negroes from
rushing wildly and madly into Radical
politics. II is death, certain death to
them no one can withstand its baleful
influences; no one can hope to escape
1he death that It hastens.

TENNYsoN, the poet laureate OF Eng
land, has received her Majesty's COM
mands to write new s'Idyp' upon the
return Of the Prince of Wales. He has
progressed in the work as far as the
title, which is understood to be, "The
Jingle of the jungle; or, The Prince and
the Panther" The impeachment to the
further progress Of the work lies in the
difficulty the poet finds in getting word
to rhyme with "panther." He has tried
lisping words, as "anther," ''roman-
ther," "Mary-Ann, Thir;" but he can't
make them jingle with the jungle. Con.
sequently the "Prince and the Panther''

some day last week a young man in
one of the rural districts went into the
woods to do some work, and while there
one of his boots felt uncomfortable, and
he resolved to draw it of to see what
was the matter. 70 do so, he thought

and gave a pull, but he slipped and fell
