Ell PERKINS ON GEORGE FRANCIS
One day, writes Eli Perkins, met
George Francis Train in Madison Square,
surrounded by children. DR.. Hammond

at harmless joke, "a joke with no animus

George, as he always does. See the

while he turned on his heel and left in

Then knew George Francis was in

HARD TO DIGEsT.-At u certain board
ing house in this city is young man
whose occupation is the "art preserva-
tive and whose labors occupy him dur
ing those hours when the majority of
mankind is asleep. Of course he gets
hungry and is accustomed to get a lunch
when he starts out for his nightly toll
This lunch is done up in paper and
placed on a table in the hall of the board
ing house, from which the young man
takes it when he goes out. One evening
this week, as he went out, he saw two
bundles lying upon the table and un-
thinkingly took the one nearest and car
ried it away. About midnight that un-
failing monitor, an empty stomach,
warned him that lunch time had arrived,
and with high hopes and keen appetite
he took out his bundle and opened it, but
was struck all aback to find instead of
his coveted food small package ofneatly
folded handkerchiefs, which had been
placed upon the table by the laundryman
for one Of the other boarders Language
fails to do justice to the denouement, and
we draw the curtain.

PITTSBURGH RIoTs.-The facts in re-
gard to the Pittsburgh riots are coming
out before the Legislative Committee OF
Investigation now sitting at Philadelphia
1t seems to be already established that
the authorities of Pittsburgh were in full
sympathy with the rioters. Several VIII,
nesscs have testified that the police ilred

lite observation, during the riot that
Gen. Briton's troops "ought all to Oe

SEARCH FOR A FoRTUNE.--Thc arChive-
room Of the State Department at Wash
ington has been haunted for the past two
or three months by gray-haired, old
fashioned looking gentleman, who rum
images indefatigably among the musty
records with never sign of discourage
ment at the apparent hopelessness of his
task. His name is Charles Wickes, of
Pennsylvania, and he is in pursuit of
some century-Old papers which shall
prove claim for large sum against the
government. The history Of the case,
which we freely give to all curious inquir-
ers, dates back to 1776, when his ances-
tor, Captain Alexander Wickes, fitted out
privateer to prey upon British com
mercc, under the authority of Lee, Deane
and Franklin, the American ENJOYS at
Paris. Such we're his address and daring
that he captured fifty English vessels at
various times, which were sold by an
agent of the colonial government, but
neither Wickes nor his heirs ever received
a cent of the prize money. This agent
was Thomas Morris, halfbrother of Rob
ert Morris, the famous financier of the
revolution, but he proved entirely un-
trustworthy, and at his death the money,
papers and accounts of the sales were
transmitted to Robert Morris and finally
disappeared. 1t is supposed that the
papers were brought to Washington and
buried somewhere in the vast rubbish
heap of public documents, and with this
faint clew the old foItune-hunter pores
daily over the files, without any appre-
hension of the probable worthlessness of
the papers, even if he finds them.

A TEXAS camcl-breeder, speaking of
the rearing Of the "shps of the desert"
says: They are no more trouble to raise
than horses or cattle. The colts for the
first three or four days are rather tender
and require close attention, but after that
take their chances with the herd. They
feed on cactus and brush, eschewing all
grasses that cattle and horses eat, if the
favorite cactus can be had. The females,
with proper care, give colt every year,
and the price at which they are sold, the
ease with which they are raised, their ex-
treme dociity, and the adaptability of
our climate to their nature, would seem
to indicate that camel.raisng is profit.
able business in Texas. Mr.. Lanfcar SAYS
there is one camel in the herd that has
travelled $50 miles between sun and sun,
and that most any well.broke camel is
good for more than 100 miles in day.

THIS thing they call rotation in Office is
not found among the political phenomena
of Holland. When man lands in an
office there he burns his ships behind him,
and stays in it the rest of his life. The
Register of Deeds in the district of The
Hague has held the office for forty years.
One of the public printers has been in the
employment Of the Government GG years.
Seven members Of the Common Council of
The Hague have served for 81 years. The
post-oifice of town near that city has
been held by one family for $50 years,
and the family is said to resemble very
closely one that could hold on to it for
150 years to come.-L0uisOiLle COr..JOur.

THE body of Mrs. Mary Weis, who died
in 1856 at the age of go, and buried at
Fort Wayne, was recently disinterrcd and
found to be completely petriied. The
deceased weighed 200 pounds when she
died. When the body was exhumed every
portion Of it was hard as rock, and the
features as natural as life.

The Ohio Legislature has made the
discovery that amongst its members is
one who is charged with being peniten-
tiary convict and member of gang of
robbers. That puts Ohio a little ahead
of Pennsylvania. Bullard is not peni.
tentiary convict; he is fugitive from
Justice. He is not a member Of gang
of robbers, but has shown his capacity
to rob on his own account. Ohio takes
the laurels.

We understand that there are a few
white men in this parish who talk as
if they didn't intend to register and
vote this year. They, who would
talk that way, are any thing hnt

of themselves. We find no man
talking in that style, and particularly
are those who have hitherto done all
the work, incurred all the danger and
suffered all the ontrascs from Ratli.
calls and troops. are solid and ent|,u-
aiastic. Two thousand white men in
this parish stand shoulder to shoulder
and ready to carry against all odds,
while about one hundred are whining
around scekin E to destroy our unity,
and lose rs the victory. They never
did any thing themselves, and the
good citizen should put them down.
This is no time for grnmbing.
Every bad negro is fully determined
to rule this parish, and if these whiu-
crs have spark of manhood III their
bodies or drop of white blood in
their veins, let them shut their
mouths, register and vote.

Is it a Tidal Wave,

The result Of the election in Maine
on Tuesday last, and that in Vermont
on the Monday previous. must pro-
dnce the utmost CONSERVATION in Re
publican ranks. Their majority in
the former State has been swept to
the winds. Their vote for Governor
this year has fallen behind that of
last election over ten thousand. while
their Congressman are elected, when
elected at all, by plurality of votes.
Hale, one of the bitterest and most
spiteful of dirty New England Radi-
calls, has been defeated, while the
State, and House Of Representatives
is in the hands of the Democrates
and Greepbackers.
This looks to US like a tidal wave,

no LAW.

We understand that q large num-
Der Of co]ored men in this parish are
preaching a crusade against law.
They have been PIT up to it no
doubt, but We complain nevertheless
that they are most susceptible Of be-
ing "put up" to believe and do bad
things.
This preaching for mo law"
amounts to a violent TRADE against
the courts for convicting negro thieves
and Kidding honest communities of
them by putting all such in the
peuitentiary. To this, tho average
Radical negro objects, and he is sus
tanned in the objection-uay, encour-
aged in it-by Blunt and his army of
preachers. Tho white people don't
intend to be eternally ding.douging
into the negro what he onght to do.
He knows we'll enough already. Nor
do We intend to apologize for the
courts. They have done their duty
fearlessly and impartial|y, and We
intend to sustain their decisions. We
refer to this argument now being
used against the whites simply to
show that the negro is determined to
be bad citizen if he can possibly do
so-and that on the lamest excuse.
He insists that he has the right to
steal without punishment; he insists
he has the right to vote for and elect
oil manner of liars and felons to Of
flee, and lie insists there shall neither
be moral or legal restraint on him in
either of these rights-and all the
time he knows he is doing wrong.
Where innocent people do harm
through ignorance 1t is all we'll, but
when they do it from blind hatred
and with a determination to injure,
they deserve and will receive pun.
ishment.
AS the negro has selected to do H.
jury, not oGly to the material inter,
ests of bis employer aud superior,
but is determined to suppress all law
as be is determined that license is
what he demands, not liberty, he will
be treated with such rigor as will give
him lasting lesson in citizenship.
Spurnlns tho advice and tuition of
those who would BIZ his friends; de-
termired to destroy -. all honor and
virtue, that he may riot in barbarism,
he must take the consequences. The
white race are determined on honest
government, he is determined on the
contrary-then let him assume all the
responsibility of his acts. He will
have no child's play to indulge in,
and a lesson will be taught him this
year he'll not forget sooD.
