morning at the police station to be shot.
1t is a vicious animal and several con-
plants have been made against it.

other Depocratie papers of Delaware
following'suit, iii an attack on Northern
newspapsrs for their sharp criticisms
of the Delaware plan Of administering
justice, which only means injustice in
cases where white people and color-d
people are involved. Several papers
have already spoken freely in condem'
nation Of the 1nit erable farce called q
trial, of Mrs. Dodson and Vincent and
New comb, for the attempted murder Of
James Jones, a poor, defenceless negro.
We know that the criticisms are CALLING

to, We can only grin and put up with
them, until jnstice is msted out alike

We directed attention TO several bril- |

but hardly thought We would so soon
be called upon to add another to tl,r
list. The country was Mortified sever

a colored man named Jones. This as

parties accused were arrested, and have
just been undergoing trial at New
Castle. The accused parties admitted
a good deal of that with which the,
were charged-they admitted to having
penned up the man and afterwards t"
tying him up and beating him brutally.
They also corroborated the negro's story
in various other particulars. But they
denied the shooting and alleged at
tempt at murder. The counsel for the
prisoners, in his address, justified thu
inflicted and suggested
Jones was shot by some one whom h.
was trying to rob. The jury cleared
the accused on the first ballot. But thr
tact remains that this poor man cam,
within an inch of losing his life; thai
he was shot four times. No one seem
I'd to care aboutthat. The accused par
ties merely declared he got all he DE-
served. Evidently if a negro has any
rights white men or women are bound
to respect, they were unknown to thr

How He Got a Stiff Neck.

One of the sons of Hindoo wo-
man had dispute with some boys
of his own age. They took him to
a heather temple and said:
"You say Christ is the true God,
and can protect you from all dan
ger, and that our gods are not
gods. Now, if you believe your
own words, take that Swamy and
throw it down" .,.
The Swamy was an idol which
the people feared 50 much they
would not allow their children to
go near its temple even to play.
II have no fear of this idol it
has no life, and cannot injure me. "
SO saving, he gave the idol a pull
and threw it down.
When the other boys saw it they
were very much frightened, and
waited to see what would happen.
AS nothing did happen, they said,
"See what will come upon yon in q
weeks time!"
These doings and sayings we're
told about among the people. All
waited to see what great calamity
would come upon the boy. A few
days after, a boy who slept in the
same room with him awoke with a
stiff neck. Then the people said
The Swamy, whom this boy de-
spised, went to avenge himself, and
by mistake, gave this stiff neck to
the wrong boy"
"Didn't / say that your god was
blind?" said the Christian boy.

"Never make an enemy, even of

caught at his raised hand and tried
to prevent him throwing a stick ut
our neighbor Towards great New
foundland dog. But my words and
effort came too late. Over the
fence flew the stick, and, whack
on Dandy's nose it fell. Now Dan
dy, great powerful fellow, was
very good natured, but this proved
a little too much for him. So he
sprapg up with an angry growl,
and bounded over the fence as if
he had been light as bird, caught
Bobby Ryan by the arm, and held
him tightly enough to let his teeth
be felt.

mentary alarm, LET go. Don't
bite him" The dog lifted up his
dark brown, angry eyes, with a
look of intelligence, and l under
stood what they said: 81 only

And Bobby was frightened.
Dandy held him for a little while,
growing savagely, though there
was a good deal of make believe
in the grOwl, and then, tossing the
arm away, leaped back over the
fence and lay down by his kennel.

Ryan," sad l, "to pick a quarrel
with such a splendid old fellow as
that. Suppose you@were to fall in
the lake some day, and Dandy
should happen to be near, and he
should remember your bad treat

you?"

Now it happened, only week
afterward, that Bobby was on the
lake in company with an older boy,
and that. in some way, their boat
was upset i'll deep water, not far
from the shore; and it also hap
pened that Nh. Howard and his
dog Dandy were near by, and saw
the two boys struggling about i'll
the water.
Quick as thought Dandy sprang
into the lake and swain rapidly to-
ward Bobby, but. strange to say,
after getting close to the lad, he
turned and went toward the larger
boy, who was struggling in the
water. Selling hun, Dandy car
ried MIN safely to shore He then
turned aud looked toward Bobby,
his young tormentor; he had a
good many grudges against him,
and for some moments seemed hes
itating whether to save him or let
him drown.
"Quick Dandy!" cried his mas
ter, pointing to poor Bobby, who
was trying his best to keep aAoat.
He was not the brave swimmer he
had thought himself.
At this the noble dog bounded
again into the water, and brought
Bobby to land. He did not seem
to have much heart in his work
however, for he dropped the boy
as soon as he reached the shore,
and walked away with stately in
different air.
But Bobby, grateful for his res
cue, and repenting his former un-
kindness, made up with Dandy Oh
