ConfsundlDg Felony.

"The Graphic says that over 800
indictments for violation of the en-
forcement act are pending IN Louisi-
ana, the trials of which have been
suspended in order that they might
not interfere with the pacification.
A Cabinet officer suggests that the
President will order the prosecution
of these at once; will fill the offices
of the courts with such men as will
prosecute them vigorously and will
enforce the DEGREES Of the courts by
the military, if necessary"
This dispatch appears in yester-
days newspapers. We have had an
abundance of this sort Of talk since
the bogus administration has been at
the helm. What right has Mr..
Hayes to interfere With the progress
of justice9 Since when has. it be-
come the business Of the President
to set himself up as censor over the
courts? Since when and by whom
was the authority delegated to COM

with the friends of law breakers2

dictea for violating the enforcement

are not guilty, they ought not to be
punished. If they are guilty Mr..
Hayes has no right to raise bis hand
in their behalf before conviction.
If they have been iadicted wrongful

Indeed, If there is any truth at all
in the dispatch quoted, Hayes need J
impeaching. He is either endeavor

a series of unjust convictions. A
nice mess Hayes is making of things.

ORIGIN OF KISSING. The CORES
pendent Of an India newspaper gives
the following account Of the origin
of the osculatory process: "Some
Trojans, with their wives, escaped
BY sea from Troy when it was taken
and sacked. The wives, being bor-
ribly seasick when they landed with
their husbands, in order that the lat
ter might, by hunting, provide pro.
visions Tor the remainder of their
journey, and to avoid again going to
sea, at the instigation Of a lady
named Roma, burned the chips.
The husbands on their return being
tiercely angry, to stay the torrent OF
abuse heaped upon them their wives
pressed their lips to those Of their
husbands, and chung about them.
These lip DRESSINGS were the first
kisses; and the novelty was so sue
cessfally employed that the husbands
left of scolding and fell to kissing,
until they were kissed by their wives
into good humor and complete for
giveness." This account may be tha
true one, although it appears to !. ave,
escaped the notice of the learned
Burton, who makes no mention of II
in his Loves Melancholy" Bcn
johnson evidently approved Of kis.,
ing, although he Ray not have
known its origin, as stated above.

dit the character of the judge and

victed, and challenge the process by
which he was indicted. The state

falsehood. The jury was composed

ST. VALENTINE.

Hoi Valentine, st. Valentine
Thou saint of mystic story,
Who followed in monastic line
With head snow-crowned and hoary!
The records say thy prayers were long,
Thy penance deep and lasting,
Thy days were spent in holy song,
Thy nights in lonely fasting.
Hoi Valentine, st. Valentine!
None doubt thine ancient glory.
But bark! the ages in their line
Proclaim different story.
No gaunt and solemn monk art thou:
The world in thee discovers
genial sage of sunny brow,
The patron saint of lovers,
Ho! Valentine, St. Valentine!
Say, why vert thou selected
When Anthony and Augustine
And Others were rejected?
We cannot tell what made it so;
-. None speak of thy transgressions;
The simple fact alone we know
Ih0u hast left no " Confessions"
Ho! Valentine st. Valentine!
The Old World soon discovers
The sage that has heart like thine,
And keeps an eye to lovers.
When good King Arthur held the throne,
Old Merrie England ruling,
BY youths and maidens it was known
A saint protects our fooling."
Hol Valentine, st. VaIentine
When grandams darn a stocking,
They think of thee and auld lang syne,
When lovers round were hocking.
Ere Chaucer wrote his dreadful rhymes
Thou hadst been long the fashion,;
Didst help each youth in Shakespeare's time
To utter forth his passion.
Ho! Valentine, St. Valentine!
What mischief thou hast made us.
A holy saint at Cupid's shrine
Who, then, can Ter upbraid us?
Go, scan the records of the past,
And on their yellow pages
The same old tale from first to last
Is ringing through the ages.
Hol Valentine, st. Valentinel
Fond lovers in detection
Still stray from every other shrine,
And sue for thy protection.
Ho! Valentine, st. Valentinel
What source of mans undoing,
When hallowed by name like thine,
Can man avoid pursuing?
