A VICTIM OF ToNsoRIAL POLITICS.

a VICTIM OF ToNS0RIAL POLITICS. |
From the Norwich Star.
A Norwich man went into BARRIERS |
shop in Providence, the other day, in
hurry. He had fifteen minutes in which |

of one quarter of an hour, doesn't leave
the average man much time to elect

alton. and the barber set to work with
ferocious energy. He caught up blade
and strapped il up and down a dangling
piece of cowhide Then, in another min,
ute, he stirred up halfpint of SOAP
suds, and was about to begin operations,
when q political acquaintance came in,
Topped down in a chair, and inquired:
what dye think of the Boozlebub
s'waves ~ Then the inward light of a
nobility Of soul and patriotic manhood
broke out on the BARRIERS face in waves
of expression. "'Tain't question of
Zooaves, this time" said he "but of pew
rity of record" He made a slap with
the soap brush at the face of the man in
the chair, missed his nose and filled his
right ear solid full. Another deal ce-
mented the left ear, and Theoretically
filed both nostrils.

"Ali right" said the knight, and in
| three seconds he drew a picture on the
mans face of Venus rising out Of the
sea-foam. "But," he continued, posing
the razor and gazing at the patient as
though he might be quail On toast;- al
! don't think that Garfeld's boyhood''-(a

eight times, while look of

his whole body athat ethereal

one spot on the patients face, an inch
and a quarter by an inch and half, fif-
teen times, feeling of it carefully each
time, and rubbing the end of the bone
that protruded with the obvious inten-

particular spot. At this moment the
Norwich man slid out of the chair,
hurriedly mopped off the soap, and fed
down the stairs toward the depot. 1t IS
probable that the barber missed him.

THE LIouoR rRAFFIC.

A correspondent of the Kansas City
Journal has interviewed all the leading
wholesale liquor dealers of LeaYenworth
for the purpose of ascertaining their
views as to the effect of the constitution
Il amendment upon their business. The
universal opinion expressed by them is
that 1t will result in driving all dealers
who have any sense of honor or self-re-
spect to some other more congenial field
of labor. They say that some unprin-
cipled men may attempt to con-
tinue their retail doggeries
bat II the legislature passes suitable laws
for the enforcement of the amendment
these fellows will also be eventually
compelled to leave. This, 1t would seem,
is a common sense view Of the case.
The people of Kansas have, by decided
majority, expressed the belief that they
can better deprive themselves of this
branch of public business than to submit
10 its evil effects upon society, and it is
the duty of all to acquiesce IN the law
and use their best efforts to secure its en-
forcpment

FALLEN FLOWERS.

One of the workers of the world
Living toiled and toiling died;
But others worked and the world went on
And was not changed when he was gone
A strong arm stricken, wide sail furled.
And only few men sighed.
One of the heroes of the world
Fought to conquer, then fought to fail,
And fell down slain in his blood stained
mail,
And over his form they step;
His cause was lost and his banner furled
And only woman wept.
One of the singers among mankind
Sang healing songs from an o'erwrought
heart;
But ere men listened the grass and wind
Were wasting the rest unsung like wave;
And now OF his fame that will ne'er depart
He has never heard in his grave
One of the women who only love,
Loved and Rrieved and faded away
All mel are these gone to the God abovef
What more of each can ! sayf
They are human flowers that flower and fall
This is the song and the end OF them all

He thought best to move the body from
the trail and hide it in grassy marsh
near by, and then pass on. He took the
body and dragged it to the place; and
was sabout to leave when anew determina-
ton seized upon him. He now thought
best to take the body back to the trail
from whence he had dragged it, and to
return and tell how he had found the
dead man, and what be had done with
him.
He returned aud told his story, and
several men went back with him to the
place of the sad disaster.
There was the body 'niill warm. and
there the track over which he had been
dragged to the narshy place and back
again. The evidence, they said, all
pointed to the stranger as the murderer,
and he was at onse arrested for the crime
and placed in prison. Days came and
passed away and still 10 new develop
ments were made. The community set
tied down into the belief that the stran-
ger committed the deed. Friends came
to his assistance, but they knew nothing
OF the crime, and could only she'd SYM
pathetic tear over his sad and uneXpec-
ted fate. The time of the trial grew near
and still all was dark as night to him. But
there is mysterious hand which over
shadows the destinies of men! There is
a Providence which shines even in the
darkest places, and brings to light the
J hidden things.
( A stranger came to the village seeking
lost friend. He was told OF the dead
man found, and, upon examination made,
recognized the articles which had been
taken from his person as those of his
| friend.
He said that his friend, some months
before, in company with KeMtcck1au
named Blue, had left his bone in the
eastern portion of the state to purchase
lands in the prairie country. He had
with him one Thousand five hundred dol
lars in cash. Blue was u stranger, but
seemed to be gentleman, and was
bound upon the same errand. They left
together, and he had tracked them on to
the village below, where they We're last
seen together coming in that direction.
Now he was certain that the murdered
man was his friend and desired that
Blue should be sous sht for, and made TO
give Il strict account of his mysterious
death. No effort was spared to secure
the kentuckian. He was ut last captured
at his old lieme in Kentucky, brought to
Texas, tried and convicted of the crime
and hung. On the gallsws he confessed
the murder. The stranger boy was lib
Grated and returned 10 Georgia

liverance from an ignominouS and un-
