"Come hithcr, you madcap darling"
said to my four year,old.
Pray, what shall be done to tho bad, bad girl
Who will not do as she Is told
Too well you lovo your own wee way,
While little you love to mind;

TRUCKING DARKIES.
HOW TWO THlFLING WHITE MEN FRIGHT
ENED A NEGRO FAMILY.

From the Montgomery (Ala.) Register
A fow days ago one of the colored
tenants of a weIl-known business man
of the city came from The plantation,
several miles distant, and informed the
latter that ho would have to leave the
farm and lose bis six mouths work and
all his claim upon the crop, etc. The
business man was considerably surprised
and desired to know why tho tenant was
in such a hurry to leave The latter
replied that the farm was ovorrun with
snakes, that his wife had been made sick
by them, and that he knew they would
die if they did not at once get away.
Tho business man was still further
surprised upon hearing this, and proceed
ed to examine into tic matter. He found
that two men from the city, both of
whom arc we'll known, had been out to
his place and played remarkable trick
upon his colored tenant. These two
men, finding the colored mans wife sick
told him that snakes had caused her ILL
ness; that tho place was full of them !;
that there were snake eggs in the house
and in tho water, and, in fact, snakes
were in everything about the premises
The poor negroes were nearly frightened
out of their wits and begged to know
what they must do. The two men repli-
cd that they could cure the woman and
Danish The snakes, one of them telling
tho negro man that if be would give
him $lOO he would cure his vile and
drive all tho snakes iuto purgatory. In
order to carry out the deception one of
tho white men took load-stone from
his pocket, and touching q steel pen
to it, told the negro that it would point
to where there were snake eggs in the
house. Turning toward the door the
white man walked to the door, and over
it he found two Egyptian snake eggs.
When the negro saw this his eyes nearly
flew from their sockets. Placing the
eggs on a table, one of tho white meu
lit a match and set the end of the egg
on fire, and in due time snake burned
out Of the egg. As quick as the form o
the snake appeared, one of the white
men pretended to be greatly afraid of it
took it up and threw it in the fire befort
tho negro could discover the deception
They then repeated the same trick with
the second egg, and by this time thu
negroes were trembling with fear, ant
ready to do anything in order to escape
the terrors which they believed hat
seized upon them. The white men ther
pressed their demand for one hundred
dollars to cure the woman and drive thu
snakes away. The negro man mounted
his mule and started to SEQ lis landlord
in order to raise the means and CanCe
his engagement. But when the business
man visited the place he at once saw th'
trick that had beon played upon hi
, tenants and exposed it, The two egg
/ had been placed over the door by on
of the white men while the other wa
: talking to the negroes, and this explain
I the appearance Of the two eggs. 1t il

Police Notes.

Early yesterday morning the rear door of one of the largest stores on Chapel street was found open. An investigation inside re- vealed the fact that the safe had also been left open and considerable sum of money and valuable papers were temptingly exposed to dishonest persons had they entered the store. There was carelessness on the part of somebody, and had the store been robbed the police would no doubt have been charged with dereliction of duty when others were entirely responsible. ..
 Henry J. Bradley, colored, employed as a hostler for the West Haven Horse Railroad Company, was arrested yesterday for an as- sault on Moses Graves, Church street bar Der, also colored. The trouble arose about Graves keeping company with Bradley's sis ter. The case will come before the City Court this morning
 Thomas Smith, who says he belongs in Wallingford, was arrested on Howard avenue yesterday for assaulting a woman on Congress avenue without cause.
 Burglars attempted to enter the residence of Mrs Daniel Merrill, No. 198 Elm street, sometime during the night of Wednesday, but were frustrated in their attempt by a nail that fell between the window sashes and prevented the lower sash from being raised.
