The Truth.

DR.. Redfeld, who very greatly dislikes
carpet-bag State Governments, and re-
CARDS carpet-bag rule as corrupt, rascal
ly, demoralizing, and all that sort of
thing, and who wants to see Nichols
declared Governor of Louisiana, thus
sums up the Presidential election in that
State:
Well, it is all over March 4 and l
am free to say, what l have said many
times before, that believe Hayes is the
man who was elected. / don't believe
shotguns and bull-dozing should be al
lowed to elect President, and by these
methods was Louisiana carried for Tilden
ON the face of the returns OF this
there is absolutely no doubt in my mind
after month of as close attention as
ever gave a political subject. If you
doubt me look at the figures-a usual
Republican majority of about 4,5O0 in
five parishes turned into Democratic
majority of about 1000 by the per-
suasive argument of the shot gun.
1t was the Mississippi plan car
ried into effect, and with the same
result as in Mississippi. And so thor
oughly done in one of these parishes that

l don't believe in that style of conduct

President fraud And there is Mis-.
sissippi, carried for Tilden and counted
for Tilden, which is as certainly q
Republican State as Vermont, and by
a larger majority than Vermont. Yet
the voice of the blacks was suppressed,
or made to vote ticket they hate as no
other class of voters ever hated a ticket.
AS between Hayes and Tilden, on fair
vote and free election, Mississippi is for
Hayes by 10000 majority, and yet it is
made to go for Tilden by 10000 major
ity, and thus we hear of the large pop
ular majority which Tilden has. Ninety
thousand of it can be accounted for in
Mississippi alone, where 10000 Repub-
lican majority was, by force, turned into
10000 Democratic, making net Demo
cratic gain of 10000. Thus is the en-
larged electoral representation given
that State on account of black suffrage
turned squarely against the wishes of
those upon whose account it was en-.

crushing the life out of them. They
screamed and fought like maniacs, and
every effort to hold them back so that
the stairway could be cleared was Of no
avail. Father Whyte and several other
priests who were in the church parlors
at the time the panic occurred rushed
around to the front Of the church and,
assisted by patrolmen, by main force
dragged out some of the women who
we're lying on the stairs. A number of
women we're then got out alive and only
slightly injured. In their struggle for
life they were almost denuded of their
clothing.
As the priests and police, aided by a
number of citizens, made their way up
the staircase they found lying on the
steps five other women and a small boy.
They were taken out to the open air, but
life was extinct. One woman, Ann
Forbes, was brought out alive and ap-
parCntly not much injured. She walked
with the assistance of apoliceman to a
drug store on Sixth avenue, near Six
teenth street, where she expired in few
moments.

sponsibility for not putting out the fire on
its first appearance, the jury say, rests upon
those who first arrived at the scene of the

sponsible.

eB- The proposition of President
Hayes to the South is a very plain one.
If you want pure local self-government,
without Federal Intervention in your af-
fairs, so establish it as to secure equal
rights and exact justice to all citizens,
irrespective of race or color or previous
condition. There never would have been
much difficulty in composing troubles
in that section had this proposition
been accepted and acted upon. But it
has not been. There has been studied
effort in some of the States to practically
disfranchise large class of citizens he
cause of their race and color, and no
more eloquent testimony of the fact is
to be found than in the returns Of the
Presidential election of 1876 in the States
of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
Louisiana. Cincinnati GoHmereiat.

Incidents of sleep Walking.

\ case is related of an English cler-
gyman who used to get up in the night
light his candle, write sermons, correct
them with interlineations, and retire to
bed again: being all the time asleep.
The Archbishop of Bordeaux mentions
Il similar case of student, who got up
to compose sermon while asleep wrote
il correctly. read it over from one end
TO the other, or at least appeared to read
it, made corrections in it, scratched out
lines, and substituted others, put in its
place a word which had been omitted.
composed music, wrote it accurately
down, and performed other things
equally surprising. DIR. Gall notices a
miller, who was in the habit of getting
up every night, and attending to his
avocations at the mill, then returning
to bed on awakening in the morning
he recollected nothing of what passed
during the uight. Martinez speaks of a
Saddler who was accustomed to rise in
his sleep and work at his trade; and DR..
Prichard of 4 farmer who got out of
bed. dressed himself, saddled his horse.
and rode to the market. being all the
while asleep. DIR. Blackjack. on one
occasion. rose from bed, to which he
had retired at an early hour, came into
the room where his family were assem-
bled. conyersed with them, and after
wards entertained them with pleasant
song, without any of them suspecting
he was asleep, and without his retain
ing after he awoke, the least recollec-
tion of what he had done. 1t is sin
gular, yet well-authenticatedf fact, that
in the disastrous retreat of Sir John
Moore, many of the soldiers fell asleep,
yet continued to march along with
their comrades.

All the pilgrims who visit Mecca cast
an offering into the three sepulchres
for the defence of Islam. 1t is calcu-
lated that not less than 10, ,000, 900 francs
year are thus contributed, and from
one of the sepulchres, which was opened
in 1929, Immense sums were drawn.
Another sepulchre was opened during
the Crimean war, and now the Shelk-
ul-Islam has gone to Mecca to draw
funds from the third, which has not been
opened since the year 14l5. Taking
the three sepulchres together, it is COM
puted that they must contain about 6O0,-
200 francs. 1t is possible that the
Prussians may have derived their war
treasure system from this Eastern
custom.

In London, experiments were made
in the grounds of the Alexandra Palace
with an extraordinary invention. by
which results somewhat analogous TO
those recorded as miraculous in Jewish
history were achieved. Mr. Oersberg,
a Swedish mechanician, claims TO have
invented, and Captain Ahlstrom, a com
patriot, TO have matured and fitted for
practical use dress that will enable the
wearer TO dash with impunity into the
fiercest fire for the purpose of saving
life and property. AT the end of the
Palace, between the circus and the BAN
quoting hall, huge piles of old dried
wood were heaped up, intersected by
narrow avenues, and the wood was
drenched with petroleum. The cOnse-
quence was that, the moment light
was applied to the pyre, the whole
blazed up with a flame so fierce, and
sending forth, heat so intense, that the
thousands who had gathered around to
witness the scene were forced to retire
to more respectful distance. The
suns rays, which had hitherto been
inconveniently felt from above, were
quite forgotten in the glow which now
famed up from below, and il really
seemed as if there was malice in the
tongues of fire that spat out on every
current of passing air. Standing forty
yards to the windward of this fierce fire.
The heat was all but intolerable; and
even the firemen OF the Palace brigade
under the command of Captain Archer,
the chief officer, were fain to give a
wide berth TO the burning centre. Then
it was that Captain AhlsIrom, clad in 4
dress not at all unlike that worn by
Captain BOyton when he padded
himself across the Strait of Dover, made
his appearance on the scene. His cos
tune consisted, so far as it was possible
TO ascertain, of an over coat of fustian
covering an innergarment of wool AM
felt. Between the two skins, so to say,
is network of veins, through which
are pumped continuous supplies of air
and water, the main air tube, be-
lore il reaches the body, being
enclosed in the larger water tube, and
by such means kept perfectly cool.
The escape for the cool air is through
orifices in front of the face, and the cur
rent so made forces back the flames, and
leaves perfect breathing space.
Assurance was given that the clothing
itself is in no way chemically prepared,
and is simply protected against the ac-
ZION of the flames by the torrents of
water that pour over the man from head
to foot. With the greatest possible
nonchalance Captain Ahlstrom walked
into aud through the fiery furnace, not
only free from discomfort, but appar-
entity with enjoyment.
Alter spending about ten min
utes in about the warmest climate it is
possible TO imagine, enveloped at times
so as TO be hidden by flames, he carried
out chair which was on fire, sat cody
down upon it, and, TO the amusement
and astonishment OF a crowd of specta-
tors, smoked cigar.-Scientifc Amerf-

'sThere darling. and now make haste,
or we shall be late"
Charley wriggled into the garment,
and then put up his hands to button
the band at the back, but no button was
there.
sWhy, En-" he cried, .'where in
thunder did YOU sew on that button? z"
''Oh, Charley, amt you ashamed :.
exclaimed his wife. where are your
eyes?"
-.If they were in the back part of my
head" answered Charley, perhaps L
could see that button"
Emma raised herself on her tiptoes
and looked at the band.
'.Why, that's strange.' said she.
''Take it off and let me look ut il. "
The shirt was inspected thoroughly,
and the button was found neatly and
deftly sewed on just beneath the tag OF
the shirt bosom so as to button to that
appendage in a most elegant manner.
''WelI, by Jove," exclaimed Charley,
''if didn't know any more about sew
ing on a button than that, | wouldn' I
get mar-I'd learn how"
''You were going to say you wouldn't
have got married." cried his wife put
ting on her hat hastily and bursting
into tears.
"Where are you going?" demanded
Charley savagely.
''I'm going home, and I'll get sep
aration from you and your old shirts ;
that's where I'm going" blubbered
Emma. 81 thought you wanted the
button there to fasten to your what
you-call-'ems."
1t took Charley an hour to persuade
Emma that if she went home there
would not be Strawberries and cream
enough to go round, and that she could
get all she wanted at Delmonico's, and
I'd pay for it.

Always a Chance.

1t is scarcely necessary to remind
reasonable men that if they wish to be
sad and soar, TO grumble and complain
there is always chance. Reasons for
being cast down and detected are as
plenty as blackberries in the height OF
the black berry harvest. If one thing
goes right. you may be sure there is
always something else going wrong;
and if one thing is in order, something
else is out of joint, or at any late soOn
will be. The chief difference in the
feelings and dispositions of people re-
suit in the different way of looking at
things. Few nights are so dark that
no stars are to be seen; the thing is to
look at them out and keep your eyes
on them, and make the most OF what
light Y on can discover.
