paid Tidy $50 upon his assurance
that an execution should not issue.
lidys excuse was that Jones would
do it, and he Tidy could not stop
him. 1t came out, however, on the
trial, that Tidy got the lions share
OF all the money paid by Lord Mar.

solicitors conduct and the solicitor
virtually accused Lord Marcus OF
lying. This was the last straw. and
the solicitor was thrashed a. afore.

Assistant Judge told Lord Marcus
he would be imprisoned until the

led to an angry alteration on the
bench, one or two magistrates
exclaiming that it had been distinctly
agreed there was to be no question
OF imprisonment. After an "unseem.

and Lord Marquis went his way.

The Old Spirit of Hate.

The sorry exhibition of petty sec
tional spite in the dismissal of North
ern men from Professorships in the East
Tennessee University, simply because
they were Northern men, cannot be too
severely condemned. That university
was in very dilapidated condition at
the close of the war. 1t greatly needed
Northern vim and learning to get it
once more on its feet, and Northern
professors rushed to its rescue. But now
the entire number, six in all, have to
walk the plank to make room for
graduate of Yale, and afterwards
trained in the universities Of Paris,
Berlin and Heidelberg, is turned out to
make room for a Mississippi physician.
Whether this physician is awarded the
place for meritorious conduct in refus-
ing to attend the mutilated.C Chisholms
does not appear. Another seat taken
from these Northern men is given to
Virginia adventurer, now serving the
Khedive of Egypt. The worst feature
of the whole thing is that it shows a
return of the bitter and malignant
spirit of the times of slavery. If such
is the condition of affairs in East
Tennessee, what must it be in the Gulf
States and in other sections where the
old animus was always much more con-
spucious than in the vicinity of
Knoxville? The South is making a very
grave mistake in thus tanning the old
fires of hate and persecution. Indus
trially, financially, and educationally it
is making an enormous blunder. AL

New Minister to Hayti.

Professor John NJ. Langston, who
has just decided to accept the Haytian
mission, rendered him by the President
some days ago, is the most polished
and literary of all the colored race of
this country. He graduated from
Oberlin College when quite young, and
with considerable honor, and has since
pursued, unremittingly, reading, study
and research in the fields of literature,
science, politics, etc. Possessed of a
keen, bright intellect, with polished
manners, and with mind stored with
extensive information on all matters
pertaining to the duties of the office
just conferred upon him, his appoint
ment to the Haytian mission is recog-
niZed as the best that could have been
made from his own nationality.

The Slowest of the Slow.

A wonderful train came up yesterday
morning at 3 O'Clock from the Harlem
river, which it had left Thursday noon.
There were ten platform and four box
cars drawn by two antediluvian and
fearfully dirty machines called lOcomo-
tives, one being from the Long Island
South Side and the other from the
Pennsylvania railroads, and bound for
a Nova Scotia railroad for further SER
vice. The entire trip was chapter of
ridiculous casualties. They had a hot
box every mile, We're in everybody's
way, and got the boilers so full at New
Haven that dirty water was shot from
the stacks all over the engineer, who
made few appropriate and evan
gelical remarks. Out of New Haven
the headlight expired, when the fire
man proposed connecting the head
light with the smoke-box and using the
coal gas for Illuminating. At Yales-
vile the fuel followed the headlight,
and rail fences were ruthlessly used to
get up steam, this taking an hour,
which the engineer improved by fishing
off the bank for crabs, and, with per-
haps sixty pounds of steam, the train
showed ahead with one engine, after
lively fight with local grangers for more
fence rails. The steam gauges were
broken, the lamps gone, and both drlv-
er and fireman went it blind in the
dark. The brakemen say they stopped
at every gypsy camp to wake folks up
with blasts from the most diabolical
whistle ever blown in the valley, and
that the gypsies came out, young men
and maidens, old men and children, and
swore till the air was blue, and threw
stones. When this train reached this
city all hands sang the doxology, and
advised the river road engineer, who
took charge, to watch the wheels care
fully to see which way they moved, and
that an attachment was coming on for
stolen fences. At last accounts the train
had got to Chicopee. Springfield Re-
publican.

laughed when he came to the crocodile
figure above, and said he and intended
to make a picture of it and had until
that moment forgotten it. Perhaps he
will call it The Interviewer, and sketch
it 1T. Mast: Welcomel' Anything
to make genius happyl
Mast is at once a fine reporter, an
Industrious reader and strong, ex-
pressive designer. He knows what is
going on; he takes nobody's opinion;
he sees the pictorial key of situation
and sketches it locally. He is said to
work with a rapid anger, the indigna-
tion setting the pencil on fire. So does
every true artist work with a burning
glass and despise counsel. Counsel is
for business, not for art. The small
pattern of critics and editors in thecity
of New York, all of them trembling
factotums of commercial machines, the
tags put on advertisements, excites no
envy in free spirit. Mast was able,
after some opposition, to demonstrate
his individual spirit and prejudice i'll
pictorial paper that would have Ian
guished without such genius. Without
approving of his themes, the treatment
was superb. He drew from head as
rapid to appropriate as his hand to ex-
ecute; both vehement. Amidst many
rich men, indistinguishable from each
other, the eye at the watering place
picks out this young man and says
with Solomon: 'sThe merchandise of
wisdom is better than the merchandise
of silver, and the gain thereof than fine
gold" This is no more understood in
America than the Hebrew language ex-
cept by artists and poor fellows, but it
is true.
