Mr.. Chalmers called up as question OF

Investigation into his conduct at Fort
Pillow. He said his friends had pointed
out to him the difficulties in the way OF
such an investigation, and that he himself

flames of passion and prejudice which all
good men desired tosee covered up in their

A SERIOUS OBSTACLE.

A young darkey had conceived a
! violent passion for neighboring mu-
lattress, and taking her one night
upon an old farm mule behind him he
set Oft for Georgetown to have the
ceremony Of marriage performed. But
in endeavering to navigate a mud
hole on the Georgetown hill, the mule
apparently lost his power Of Iocomo-
ton, and'the darkey got down to ex-
anime into the cause of it. Unfortu-
nately he got too close to the animals
kind legs, ::and unexpected convulsion
of the mules extremities shot him out
to the side Of the road with violence
which resembled the discharge of
cannon ball.

prospective bride, astonished at these
hurried movements.

HOW THE CITY sB0NDH0TDERs
LOOK AT IT.
T Mintlen Democrat, !

A gentlemen recently from New
Orleans tells us that from conversation
with leading business men and mer-
chants in that city, he found that the
prevailing impression was that the
country people would be perfectly
satisfied with simply q reduction of
interest on the State debt. That's the
way they look at it. Subsisting off of
the country and bloated bondholders
themselves, they cannot realize the
onerous burden that is weighing down
the people. They are the 'Lilies of
the Valley" and their dainty con-
sciences would be terribly shocked at
the idea of "repudiation," and we
suppose even at "scaling." The men,
bers Of that convention from the
country parishes must demand moth
ing short of fifty per cent reduction,
and interest at four per cent, even
after eliminating all the fraudulent
portion created during radical regime.
This, and nothing less, will satisfy
the demands of the people. The man
elected a delegate, who fails to recog-
nize this fact, had better, when the
convention adjourns, emulate the
Arab, "fold his tent and silently steal
away" for he can rest assured that
"repudiation," 50 far as be is con-
cerned, will be certain and sure, at
the hands of his people. Nothing but
an absolute betrayal and selling-out |
of the interests of the State can fail to
the ends demanded by the
people and the failure thereof must
be made to rest where it will prop
erly belong. The Democrats have
IN overwhelming majority and the
enemies of The State and people can
never trample down and stiae the
'ry for relief, SO long as all Democrats
lre true to their colors.

A WOODED WATCH.

The Reading, Pa, Eagle, says that
N. Deriot, Frenchman from Bristol
Tenn, now in Reading, has a grea,
curiosity in the shape Of a wooden
watch, made by himself. 1t is of the
ordinary size, but only weighs halt
an ounce. 1t is open faced, and dial
plate is made from the horn of a buff
falo on the Texas Pacific railroad by
being run over by an engine. The
outside is Of mottled- brown olive
wood from Jerusalem, and all the
works, except a few Of the more impor-
tant wheels, are Of lockwood. 1t was
made last year by Mr.. Deriot, WHO
is a jeweler, and who carries it as a
timekeeper. Even the stem and the
bow arc Of wood. It's marked "No.l l."
A jeweler of Penn street took the
watch apart and found its construc-
ton perfect.

A CLEVER ROGUE,

gentleman of great experience in
the commercial world caslled check
at London bank for GllOO taking
the whole in flOO notes. He was
only a few yards from the bank, when
n person resembling clerk, barehea-
ded and with pen behind his ear
touched him on the shoulder, saying:
'Beg yonr pardon, sir; will you allow
me just to take the number of these
notes again9 wont keep You min
ute" The gentleman, taken off his
guard, handed the notes over to the
supposed clerk, whom he followed
into the bank. After giving the for,
mer time to reach the top end and
return, he met the gentleman at the
door, saying: "Please walk this way;
that gentleman will attend to
you in few minutes,' pointing to
a clerk who was deeply engaged.
Five minutes elapsed before the
gentlman could draw the clerks at
tention to his case, and he was thun-
derstruck to find that this officer
knew nothing about it. The other
clerks were equally in the dark. OF
course no time was lost in going to
the Bank of England, but too late;
the clever rogue had been before them
and obtained gold for the notes.

A BIGgAR GIRLS FORTUNE.

The adoption Of children, writes a
correspondent from Rome, which pre-
walls to a considerable extent in
America, seems to he extending to
Italy. Some thirty years ago a Ger
man lady, Of rank almost princely,
was staying at Albano, and took a
fancy to two beggar children--a boy
and girl-of extraordinary beauty.
Her excellency, who had plenty Of
money, adopted the two brats, and
gave them the best possible education.
The boy turned out an arrant scamp,
and took to evil courses aud soon died
Of dissipation. The girl grew up a
model Of womanly grace and beauty,
and found many admirers, and, among
Others, a young Roman noble, who
won her heart but abused her conf
dence. The pope heard Of the mis-
conduct Of the young noblcman and
and compelled him to marry the girl
Oh pain OF, his pleasure. The mar
riage was accomplished, and the Ger
man princess settled her enormous
fortune on the married couple. For
few years all went happily, but, alas,
the young husband died Of fever, leay-
ing his widow with a son of four
years old to inherit q large property
and Il distinguished title. The child
Of the ALBANIA beggar girl will be one
Of the richest counts in Rome when
he attains his majority.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER,
TOMAHA. WIS.

ToMAHA, WIS.,, April 9.
There is great excitement here over
the murder of Mrs. Dodge, aged forty
years, owner Of the Dodge house. She
lhysteriously disappeared Sunday
night. The following note was found
on her table: "Good by cold world.
l forgive you ALL" An examination
proved that it was not in her hand
writing. A suspicion of murder took
the place Of the suicide theory. The
fire bells were rung and a large party
organized. After hunting all night
they found the body beneath the rail
road ties in the bottom of the creek.
Suspicion rests upon her son, George,
and his wife, who have leased the
hotel, but were not running it salts
factorily. They were to have been
elected yesterday.

A NEW VERSION OF MARCO BOZ
ZARlS.

At midnight ID his guarded tent the
Turk, Mr.. Marco, Bozzaris, was dream
ing Of the hour when Greece should
bend her knee in suppliance, apollo
gise, eat humble pie, and 50 forth and
80 on, and tremble at his power. In
dreams, or, as we may say in llis
mind, through camp and court he
bore the trophies ofa conqueror. Also
in his mind he bore the monarcl's sig
net ring-wllich cost four dollars and
q half-and pressed that monarch's
throne--a king! and thought himself
bigger man than the Akoond Of
Swat. However, an hour passed on
tho Turk awoke, he woke to hear his
sentries shrek, ITO arms they come!
the Greek! the Greek! I" This was
not all Greek to Mr.. Bozzaris. He
knew full well what it meant, and,
springing out Of bed, told the boys to
light into them while he got into his
clothes. Then there was fame and
smoke and shout and groan and sabre
stroke and death shots falling thick
and fast, like lightning from tie
cloud, and the awfulest up
roar generally was ever heard outside
Of a country school. They fought,
like brave men, long and well, and
were about to mop up the ground
with the Moslem slain, when they
heard, with voice as trumpet loud,
Bozzaris cheer his band from behind
The cook-stove in his tent: "Strike, |
ill the foe expires! Strike, for your
lltars and your fires! Strike, for the
,reen graves Of your sires, and I'll be |
With you the moment Iget on these
blamed boots!"

Beyond our lines the earthworks lay;
Our eager men looked out
At bristling guns in grim array,
That crowned the white redoubt-
December's on vale and knoll,
On stream and ice blockade;
But summers life in each mans soul
Who marched in our brigade.
Their earnest gaze marked bridge AM
plain,
Marked slope and ditch and height,
And silent men said prayers again,
For few might pray that night:
They saw deaths trail beyond the bank.
Bnt no soul was dismayed;
When sabers flashed before its ranks,
Behind famed our brigade
The winters wind means in the pine;
The worn flags proudly fly,
And loyal hands their slaves cntwine,
With them to live or die;
One, bright with "stars and Stripes"
was seen
And one, war torn, displayed
The "Sun-bnrst" and the Irish "Green"
That waved DER our brigade.
And eyes grew glad to hail it there,
And hearts waxed brave meanwhile,
Tho fond lips trembled with prayer,
For love Of their Screen Isle;'
All dear to them that Irish land
Aye! dearer though betrayed;
For, who would scorn it's memories grand
Marched not in our brigade.
From Kerry's lakes and Wexford's
streams,
From Sligo and Kildare;
Where Tough Neagh shines and Shannon

From Meath and sca-woOed Clare;
From coast and cliff, from pass and glen

Round ruined homes it's tendrils Irvine

A sergeant graspcd the shrinking vino
And plncked qniyering spray;
He kissed it thrice, as gift divine,
And omen for the day;
Upon his cap was shrined the prize,
Where corps badge slone displayed;
And Irish hearts beat fast--and eyes
Flashed in the tried brigade.
"'fis not our shamrock, boys,' he said,
