Hugh j. Campbell, who figured disreputa-
bly, In the electoral fraud business In Louisi-
ana, was principal of the Chambersburg
Academy from 1854 to 1856, or thereabout, and
was also for brief period county superln-
tendent. He was appointed to I'LL vacancy
In the supe1intendency, we think, and was de-
feated at the first election nfterward. He
soon thereafter shook the dust OF Franklin
county off his shoes and turned In at Musca-
tine, in Iowa. We believe he became city or
county treasurer there, and we believe also
that some little unpleasantness occurred
about his accounts. and he went down TO
Arkansas, which had long previously been q
haven Of rest for honest men fleeing from per-
secution. Reconstruction being the order OF
the day at the time of his arrival, he set
about demonstrating his fortune and his char
aeter and succeeded SO well that he has now
more money and O worse character than Jim
Anderson and Eliza Pinkston both put to-
gether. He whipped his wife for Directing to
sit down OF her own table with negroes, and,
we believe she left him and returned to her
friends In Iowa. He went down to Louisiana
and became q Judge there, and rendered i'm
portant services to his party in stealing the
vote Of that State for Hayes, and as @ reward
he now holds Federal judgeship In the
Northwest. Anderson wanted post In a warm

latter that he could not well help 1t, as nature
had put his nose on upside down.

Dispatches of a recent date from
South Carolina, says that the ne
groes of Charlestown have been
intensely excited for several days
in hourly expectation of the sailing
of the bark Ozor with the first ship
load of emigrapts sent to Africa by
the Linerian Exodus Association.
Various circumstances, however,
have delayed her departure, the
main impediments being the want
of cash and the prosperity OF the
blacks. Despite all the precautions
of the custom officers to avoid
crowding larger number of pass
engers between decks than the law
allows, the task of the examination
of the ship and landing the surplus
emigrants was performed no less
than three times, and it was not I'M
til a guard was put aboard by the
collector, that the bark could be
kept in q condition to be properly
cleared. Yesterday, however, all
arrangements were completed, and
about eight o'clock this morning
the Azor was being towed out to
sea by the tug Wade Hampton, be-
ing accompanied to the bar by two
harbor steamers crowded with
black excursionists, while the
whole battery and wharves were
thronged with thousands of negroe,
shouting and waving hats and
handkerchiefs, as the bark bore out
to sea. The Azor carries $50 pass
engers, about one-fifth Of whom
are young children. The crew a.
well as passengers, are negroes
Only four white men are on board

A Rip Van Wrinkle Failure.

The other night Tom Grim. the
news-boy, got to- thinking how
nice it must have been for Rip Van
Wrinkle to sleep the way he did,
and how much money had been
made by the play, and he deter
mined to go home and go to bed
and sleep for a straight hundred
years. He gave away his jack
knife, threw his tobacco-box in the
alley, and requested the boys not
to let the papers speak ill of him
in case he turned up 'mysteriously
missing" When Thomas got
ready for bed he kissed his mother,
smiled at his father, and Rugged
the baby with unusual vigor. He
dropped off to sleep, wondering
how much of Canada Detroit would
cover when he awoke, and that
was the last he knew-till Z o'clock
A. NJ. AS he did not arise at his
usual hour his father called:
TON! Thomas Griml"
No answer. and after q few
minutes the old gent put his head
into the stairway and called:
"Tom-us Grim! you'd better
oh ! you'd be getting down here !"
But Thomas slept on. Not the
blast of drum nor a bugle's beat
awoke him. He was pegging away
at his hundred years sleep when
Sleepy Hollow was suddenly in
vaded by man with a single.

The Boy Had Him.

On street car yesterday the
action Of one of the passengers at
tracted the attention of boy
about twelve years old. The man
first blew one side of his nose, and
then the other Then he took a
handkerchief from one pocket and
wiped the right hand side of his
nose, and delibera.y put that away
and pull ont another and wiped
the left side. The action pleased
the boy immensely, and he watched
every movement of the man, who
next took from his right hand
pocket stick of gum, put it in the
right hand side of his mouth, and
then served the left hand side the
same way. He chewed on the
right, and then on the left, and
the boys eyes hung out like pill
lows in a broken window. The
NAH soon got rid of the gum and
took two chews of tobacco from
two separate boxes. Noticing how
closely the boy was watching him,
he said:
"Boy. do you know me?"
"No, sir" replied the boy, but
III bet you my velocipede agin a
cent that you cant drink out of
two jugs at once I"
The man hauled the half of an
orange ont of one pocket, and the
other half out of an other and ten
dered them to the boy as a token
of admiration. = DanburY News.

A Girls Composition on Boys.

Boys is strange things. Boys is
of three kinds. The baby boy, the
little boy and the big boy. l don't
like the baby boy, cause he squalls
and kicks, and L have to rock him
with cradle, But if the big boy
or little boy squalls and kicks, /
can rock him with stones. 1 like
the little boy best when he's got
candy and gives me some. But /
like the big boy best when it SHOWS,
cause he can haul me on his sled.
A boy is little man, if he behaves
himself, and if he don't he's little
devil; that's what mother said
brother Bob was the other day
when she told old Miss Smith that
mother said she was old bore.
My papa said he was a little boy
once, but mother said she wasn't,
and she wishes papa was little
boy some more. Sister Julia says
she don't like boys, and when /
saw her and Tom Brown a setting
in the rocking chair a Sunday
night, she said she was trying to
squeeze the life out of him cause
she didn't like him; but l don't
think she was hurting any place,
for he wouldn't lei her get mp.
This is all l know about boys, and
mother says she hopes I won't
never know any more bout 'em.
