A BrIton's Hard Lack.

William Kirby, an Englishman, lately ar
rived in New York with his wife and two or
three children, and money enough to take
him to Detroit, where he has friends. Kirby
must have sweet, mellow look. Soon as he
landed a stranger asked him for the loan OF
So fora few minutes till he could see friend
round the corner. Kirby forked over the 50,
and the borrower did not return. That was
Kirty's first transaction on American soil.
The other day he bought tickets for himself
and family to Detroit, and they were all at
the depot ahead of time. A man IN preach
ers garb accosted Kirby. The preacher was
going to Detroit too. Well, the whole game
was worked with confederate, and KIRBY
let 90 of SIT more and took what looked like
a 500 gold-piece as security. Suddenly the
man with preacher look dashed into an alley.
Kirby quick as thought remembered his flrst
error on the wharf and dashed after his tugl-
tive friend. He caught and held him until
the police came and took both men in charge
KIRBY made complaint against the pigeon
dropper, but was perfectly appalled, when he
was himself detained and put in prison as a
witness. The grand jury does not sit for a
month yet In the meantime he doesn't know
what will become of his wife and children

The Crime that Hayes wants to Screen

A word About the Vernon parish case in
Louisiana may not be out of place at this time.
The writer was in the employ OF the House
Committee on Louisiana, of which MIR. Nor
rison of Illinois was chairman, and which
went South in November last. That commit
tee was divided into five subcommittee OF
three each to visit different parts of the state
The undersigned was sent to the district
around Shreveport, in the service OF the sub
committee presided over by Mr. Meade OF n.
Y. Vernon parish was selected for the crown.
ing vllainy of Hayes's accomplices, because
its very remote situation made the Scoundrels
confident that 1t would escape investigation.
The american says the charge "rested upon
the unsupported testimony OF discharged
clerk, whose antecedents were questionable
and whose demeanor and appearance were
against him" Now, this clerk, gentleman
of most courteous and refined manners,
brought before Mr. MeaGe's sub committee,
when in session at Natchltoches, the original
records of the election in his parish, dupli-
cate of which was forwarded to Hayes's vas
sails at New Orleans. These documents were
of the same as a duly certified record of
judgment in one of our courts OF law. The
writer had the pleasure of personally In
speeding them. They showed that Kellogg
and another Hayes elector had received
one vote each, the entlre remaining vote
OF the parish having been cast for the eight
Tilden electors When these sheets TO tam.
per with which was the same crime US to alter
record in one Of our courts) had passed
through the hands of Hayes's hirelings in the
New Orleans State House, they came out
showing a majority for all the Hayes electors
exactly equal to the entire vote OF the parish,
which was cast for Tildeu. | repeat that the
remote situation of the parish gave these
Hayes men the boldness which rascality de.
rlves from the sense of security, and leave
further comment to you.
