on the La Belle Riyiere Familiarity known by
his friends as the Odd Pirate" who is very
fond of spinning yarns. Among others we
have heard him relate the following:
When was about fifteen. I made trip on
keelboat to Nashville. Walking back across the
country with the crew of five men with myself.
one evening we came to a dwelling just
at dark. and on requesting to, be all
lowed to stay all night, was told By the
lady of the house it would be impossible for
her to accommodate us, az her husband had
herself and two children there. Our captain
told her she need not put herself to any trouble
on our account. as we had provisions and all
we asked was shelter; furthermore. that she
could retire. and we would take turns In watch
ing by the corpse. She finally concluded to let
us stay. and, as she had lost considera-
BILE sleep. retired to an adjoining room
early. The men were divided into three
watches. placing on the middle or mid
night watch young man that was very
fond OF practical Joking. and another that was
a notorious nraggart. aud had frequently said
that he wasn't afraid of the ID himself. He
was also regular sleepy head. and within If
teen minutes after going on watch was snoring
away ike Pittsburg towboat, Number one
saw chance to play Joke. and of course could
not resist the temptation. So. quietly raising
up the dead man. who was as stiff as poker, he
stood him up against the wall and to heighten
the effect placed lighted stogie in his mouth
Then taking a seat beside the slumbering
watcher he also pretended to sleep, and would
fall over and nudge his comrade until he finally
woke the man. who, slowly strengthening up,
opened his eyes and caught sight OF the
shrouded dead. With his eyes starting from
their sockets be gave one yell. and springing to

NuIIifcation Come Again.

South Carolina has once more, and
for the third time in its history, rails
ed the banner of notification in de-
fance of the Federal Government.
In the present instance it is in de-
fense of Illicit distillers and violators
of the excise law. Four revenue Of
icers in attempting to do their duty,
were murderously attacked by one
of the outlaws. The officer in self
defense, shot the would be murder
er. They were arrested, imprisoned
and indited for murder, by the State
authorities. By statute of the
United States the revenue officer
had a right to have the case trans
ferred to the Federal courts. The
application was made, but refused
by a South Carolina State Judge,
who not only asserted the suprema-
ey OF the State, but threatened resist
ance If the United States should at
tempt to enforce its laws. The pa
pers of that State endorse the inso-
lence of their judge, and talk boast
ngly of State sovereignty.
The situation is serious, and de-
mands prompt, decided action on
the part of the Administration. If
President Hayes has the spirit ex-
hibited by Andrew Jackson, on
similar occasion, he will nip this In
ciplent secession in the bud. The
country will brook no temporizing
or quibbling, or hesitating laws de-
lays in this matter. If this is the
return which Wade Hampton and
his followers have to give in recon-
pense of Cancellation, the country
will pronounce the practical work
lngs of the well intended scheme a
disheartening failure.

mite she SO much needs to buy bread
for herself, under the pretense Of
charity to her child, after that child
is old enough to earn its own living.
Now remember, comrades, that
this outrage was conceived by the
notorious John O'Connor, who was
not only a deserter and a bounty
jumper, but an ex-Penitentisry con-
vict, and that it was passed by the
unanimous vote of the Democratic
members Of the present Legislature
at its last session. In it you see
cropping out the same old Copper
head spirit with which you had to
contend at every step during tie
war.
But here is the old law and the
new, so you can estimate this out
rage for yourselves, and determine
whether you can trust your interests
and the interests of your children IN
such UNANIMOUSLY treacherous hands.
We quote as much of the two laws
as bears upon the important points
aIIuded to above:

What the Marshal of New
York Says.

The following Endorsement will be OF
interest to many who have not yet tested
these essential aids to the full development
of the speed of a trotter-BentOn's Speed
Accelerators-th price of which has been
reduced to s. per pair or $5 for two pairs.
OFFICE OF PATRICK DAILY, City Marshal, !
New York, June II, 1873. !
WILBUR c. BENTON, ESQ.,, BrownstoWn,
Indiana-Dedr Sir: have given your
Speed Accelerators a thorough test, single,
double, attached them to the reins, to the
saddle, overdraw and check-rein. In my
Judgment they are the most excellent
things ever invented to produce speed and
comfort for horses.
Horsemen and humanitarians have for
years sought to invent attachments for
horses mouths, the former looking prlnci-
pally to speed. the latter seeking relief for
the horse from the strain of checks and
bits on the mouth. The Accelerators ac-
complish both, for they remove the perma-
nent strain of checks and bits from the
mouth and head of the horse by imparting
the proper elasticity, which the horse feels
Immediately, and improves at once in style
and speed. Owners of horses, whether
trotters, roadSters, coach or business
horses, should use them. Any horseman
who gives your Accelerators a trial will
not only indorse what l say, but recon-
mend them to every one owning horses.
Hoping you will succeed in establishing
what / firmly believe to be the best thing
ever devised for horses, is the wish of one
thoroughly convinced of their usefulness.
Yours truly,
PATRICK DAILY, City Marshal.

HEARD FROM,
Exports of Live Cattle.


The experiment of shipping dead
meat by the earcas to the British
markets, though promising well at
the start, does not appear to have
been attended by results sufficiently
encouraging to warrant its continu-
ance to any great extent, but just
in proportion as that branch of trade
has dwindled away, the shipments of
live stock have multiplied. 1t is in
this way that trade, under the oper-
alton of natural laws, unerringly ad-
justs itself to market requirements,
and enables producers and shippers
alike to discover just what is want
ed and how it is wanted. 1t is safe
perhaps to assume that the importa-
tion of live cattle from this country
will soon become a permanent and
important means of meat supply for
the people of Great Britain, who
now import and consume annually
between 100000 and 500, 900 head of
cattle, about 100000 sheep, and
from 10000 to $4,000 swine-a mil
lion and half live animals all told
"a rather heavy business to spring
up in so short time-the first trans
atlantic shipment of live cattle hav-
ing been sent from the port of N.
York to Scotland, only about six
wears ago.

Gall and SpuIzheim excited an interest in

personages as Scott, Priestly, Humboldt
Lamartine. When looking at the narrow
villainous heads Of the former it is diff

stimulents, and favorable religious in

ATTENTION, VETERANS! !!

The people of the State of Ohio
had kindly provided home for the
children of those of her gallant sons
who went to the rescue of our Gov
ernment when traitors sought to des-
troy it, and our Soldiers and Sailors
Orphans Home was pointed to as
one of the most substantial evidences
of the patriotism and kindness of a
grateful people. But the same spir-
it, in the same party that opposed
its establishment in the first place,
found itself in the ascendency in the
Legislature last winter, and an act
known as the infamous O'Connor
law was passed, which virtually
wipes out the home thus provided
for your children.
FSrst-This law provides that
none but the children of men who
died while in the service, or who
have since died of wounds or of dis.
ease contracted while in the line of
daty OF such service, shall be admit
ted to said Home, while the old law
provides that the children of all de-
ceased, INDECENT and permanently
disabled soldiers and sailors should
be received.
SecOnd-That no child can be re-
ceived, while the mother is alive
under the age of twelve years. Or,
in other words, after the mother has
struggled along and supported her
child until it is capable of assisting
her in providing living for herself,
this law kindly proposes to take it
off of her hands.
IHird-If man is so unfortunate
as not to be on the pension rolls of
the Government, his children, no
matter how poor and destitute they
may be, are excluded from the Home
by this cruel and outrageous law.
Foartk-No child will be admit
ted unless the guardian or mother
agrees to pay to the Trustees the
money received as a pension on &C.
count of the death of its father.
That is, the State of Ohio will mean
ly rob the poor widow of the little
