An indian with lot of fancy pin

Lucian Z. Hawkins was committed
to Jail last Tuesday evening because
he could not secure a fine assessed
against him. He was carried off to
Jail weeping, and seemed to be COM
pletely crushed and broken in spirit
by the disgrace he had brought upon
himself. This case should be warn
ing to every young man in CaIroll
county. Hereafter there is no way
to escape imprisonment for carrying
a pistol; it will come sooner or later,
and there are boys in the habit of
carrying them, whose parents had
rather, with their own hands, pile the
sod upon their sons grave, than to
see him placed in felon's cell. 1t
looks hard, but the letter of the law
must be carried'out, and the pernic>
ious custom of wearing arms broken
UP.
We desire to call the attention of
our colored friends to the speech of
Col. Isaac r. Hawkins made in the
mass convention at this place a few
DAYS since, in which he said, among
other things, that he desired to repu-
diate the national debt because the
Government set the negroes free; that
while he and others were fighting for
the Union, certain people'in the North
were growing rich by speculating in
bonds; that the Government violated
the Constitution by emancipating the
negro race; that when bond holder
presented bond to be redeemed he
was in favor of telling him to take
negro in payment of the same; and
that as the South had to lose her ne
groes by the war, and that in an un-
lawful manner, he thought the bond
holders might lose their bonds.
From the Huntingdon Republican.
We understand the supervisor of

rection.

three months old who has been some

weak lungs, he had ar east window of
his house paned with blue glass and
exposed him to the SUMS rays for an
hour or two for several days. Last
Sunday, being a sunny day, the baby
was left under the blue window for three
hours, at the conclusion Of which time
he got up and went down stairs, declaring
that he had had enough Of that "dog-
goned fooGshness. On Monday he was
exposed for four hours. At twelve
o'clock on Monday night he threw his
off foot into Mr. Blimley's stomach, and
knocked the lower portion of Mrs. Blim-
ley's chin off with his right fist. As Mr..
Blimley lay under the wash-stand, trying
to decide whether he had been struck by

stood beneath a tree in food of moon
light, II have longed-oh, 30 longed =
for this bissful opportunity and even
now I hardly dare to speak the swelling
thoughts that struggle up for utterance.
Not in the blistcring glare Of the noon
day sun would I whisper to thee of the
sweet love that has tinged my whole
being with celestial brightness, but in
this soft silvcry sheen Of the constant
moon would I syllable forth the ecstatic
song of Eros. Oh! canst thou realize
how like the radiance of heaven thy
beauty beams upon me? And shall not
the blessed boon be always, mine7 Wilt
thou not henceforth, for all coming time,
give me tn right to shield thee from the
rough contact and chilling blasts of an
unfeeling word? Oh !if thy smiles could
be mine while life should last, they
would shed-they would ahed-a-a-

New Orleans Cre0les.

In New Orleans, too, the Creoles make
ND very large proportion OF the Popu-
lation. The city proper is divided by
Canal street into Frenchtown and
" Americantown." Frenchtown hos
about $4,000 inhabitants. OF these, rs
estimated, not over 1000 are, Of Anglo
Saxon descent. Fren ,htown is to oil in
tents and purposes foreign city in an
American State. Americantown makes
better showing. 1t has about l2O, ooO
souls. OF these, it is safe to say, not to
exceed twenty per cent, are OF pure
Anglo-Saxon blood. New Orleans, Ill
fact, is decidedly a foreign rather than
nm American city. 1t has within itself
all the elements of revolution. History
but repeats itself. They have broken
forth more than once in the past. They
are found as comprising, in tie nam,
the revolutionary forces OF the reVolu-
tionary government of to-day. =.
Your Louisiana Creole, to sum him
ND. is at best an anomaly in American
politics. He is decidedly un-Amerlem
in everything save i'll being, as it were,
a natural product of the soil. Louisiana,
from his standpoint, is a sort OF heritage,
of his own. He is bitterly hostile 10 oil
net either to the manor born or OF for
eign blood. He has about as compre-
hensive all idea Of American politics rs
has the native of New Zealand. He
knows nothing of liberty save as ldentl-
fled with license. He can have, from his
nature, little respect for a government,
save as it shows the strong hand OF
power.
