Little Rock Gazette.
Several days ago we published an
item in regard to a couple of horse
thieves that han created something Of
an excitement near Haddoxburg, a
station on the Fort Smith railroad.
The two hOrse.thieves, whose names
we are unable to ascertain,
came from Texas to the neigh
borhood of Haddoxburg, and
during a stay of several months, were,
from time TO time employed by the
planters as cotton-pickers On the
occasion of the equestrian trouble the
two men attended a party given at the
house of a gentleman who lives near
the station, where their laughing good
humor AID Swing your partner
ability brought them into notice.
One of them proved himself to
be 20 'callingly efficient, hat he was
placed upon the floor as a prompter.
Willie he was thus discharging his
duties, his companion was outside Sc
Letting partners from among the
horses, and when two suitable part
ners had been selected, he went back
to the house and made a sign, which
was readily understood by his com
p%anion. Pretty soon the two men
strolled off together. The dance con
tinued, but the two men did not come
back. Their absence, however, did
not create any suspicion until
some hours afterwards, while a stir
was being made for home, when
one mar exclaimed, so familiar to
kentucky, bill, by gosh, my horse is
guneI" Bill, after looking around,
discovered that his horse was also
gone. Then suspicion pointed to the
TWO men from Texas, and then the ex
element sprang up. If you want to
insult an Arkansas man, steal his
horse. 1t is all right to step out from
a dance aud scratch a bottle from un.
der a worm fence, but don't steal his
hons SO.
Several young men mounted, SO our
information goes, and instituted pur
suit, declaring that the men would
not be brought back alive. After
riding rapidly for several hours, they
overlook the two men, and, without
asking any questions, shot them both
| dead.

Comments on CamerOn's Con-
VentiOn.


Special to the Courier Journal,l
WASHINGTON, February 5,-The
result ofthe Pennsylvania convention
neither causes any enthusiasm among
the Grant politicians MOI dismay in
Blaine's ranks. The friends of the
latter say it was notso much for Grant
as for Cameron that the delegation
was pledged, and hat a majority of the
delegates are Blaine's friends, who
are ready to come to his aid at the
proper time. Blaine has heretofore.
aud is still pursuing a course which
has for its aim the Cancellation
of the Grant men, because he
believes that Grants name will not
be used in the national convention.
One Of the on dts is, that when Simon
Camerons nomination was before the
senate as Minister to Russia, Secre-
tary, then Senator, Sherman voted
against him, and for this reason that
Cameron pere nor son will never sup
port Secretary Sherman, because the
elder particularly has a long memory,
and is a good hater. The Grant men
say, too, hal Cameron will never sup.
port Blaine, because he believes that
the latter will never forgive him for
having sold him out in 1876 in Gin
cinnati. With Blaine President, if
he were disposed, he could crush the
Cameron dynasty, and they are afraid
Blaine would do it, and will take no
risks.

Rev. MIR. Haferman Bounced BE
cause He Kissed the Cook.
New York star.l.

New York Start
The troubles in connection with
Rev. MIR. Haferman kissing the cook
have already been described in the Star.
The reverend gentleman is the pas
tor of st. Matthias church, in Hobo,
ken, and his flock embraces most of
the wealthy and respectable Germans
of tie place. Mr.. Haferman's excuse
for kissing the cook was that he did it
purely out of a desire to turn her from
evil ways and companions, and that
the kiss was only a tatherly one. The
trustees of the church thought differ
emily, and they became appalled, at the
idea Of their pastor having kissed a
cook. The female members of the
aristocratic flock were especially in
dignant, and it was voted that the
reverend Hafermah should be sent
from among them.
A meeting of the trustees of the
church was held on Friday night. at
the house of Mr.. MOller, and Mr..
Haferman was present. The matter
was fully discussed whether Hafer-
man kissed the cook, if she objected,
and whether it was a paternal kiss, a
paroxysmal kiss, a fraternal kiss. d
pastoral kiss, or any other kiss. The
trustees, after slnature deliberation.
decided that it would not be quite the
correct thing to have a cook kissing a
four-thousand dollar = a year pastor,
and they decided to dispense with Mr..
liaferman's services. AS the time 10
procure another preacher was so brief.
they decided to keep the church closed
on yesterday, and let the flock seek
spiritual consolation in other places Of
worship.
