An Episode of Kukluxism.
From Bricks Without Straw" Albion Toure,

new book.
''Bring light ~ shouted the leader.
One of the men rushed into the house
of Nimbus and snatched flaming brand
from the hearth. AS he ran with it out
of the front door he did not see a giant
form which leaped from the waving
corn and sprang into the back door.
He did not see the black, furious face,
or the right arm, bare above the elbow,
which snatched a saber from the top of
a cupboard. He did not see the glar-
ing, murderous eyes that peered
through the vine leaves as he rushed,
with the flaming brand aloft, out of
the house to the hut of Eliot. AS he
reached the door the light fell upon the
preacher, who sat upon the bed. The
fear of death had passed away, even
the fear of suffering had gone. His lips
moved in prayer, the forgiving words
mingling with the curses of his assail-
ants: 80 God, my help and my shieldi'

His Second Choice.

"Hestern exclaimed Aunt Susan
ceasing her rocking and knitting, and
sitting upright, '.Do you know what
your husband will do when you are
dead ~
"What do you mean 2" was the star
tied reply.
He will go and marry the sweetest
tempered girl he can find"
so auntie !" Hester began.
Don't interrupt me till have finish
ed" said Aunt Susan, leaning back and
taking up her knitting. "She may not
be as pretty as you are, but she will be
good natured. She may not be as
bright as you are, but she will be good
natured. She may not be as good a
housekeeper as you are, in fact, think
she will not, but she will be good ma
tured. She may not even love him as
we'll as you do, but she will be more
good natured."
"Why, auntie"-
"That isn't ALL" continued Aunt Su-
san. every day you live you are
making your husband more and more
in love with that gOod-natured woman
who may take your place some day
After Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison left you
the other evening, the only remark he
made about them was, SHE is a sweet
woman"
"Ah, auntien-
"That isn't ALL" composedly resumed
Aunt Susan. "To-day your husband
was half across the kitchen floor bring
ing you the first ripe peaches, and all
you did was to look up and say, There,
Will, just see your muddy tracks on
my clean floor. won't have my clean
floor all tracked up Some men would
have thrown the peaches out of the win
dow. One day you screwed up your
face when he kissed you because his
moustache was damp, and said, Il new
er want you to kiss me again. When
he empties anything you tell him not
to spill it; when he lifts anything you
tell him not to break it. From morn
ing till night your sharp voice is heard
complaining and fault-fnding. And
last winter, when you were so sick, you
scolded him for allowing the pump to
freeze, and took no notice when he
said Il was so anxious about you that /
could not think of the pump"
''But, auntie"-
most intellectual men of them all care
more for woman's tenderness than
for anything else in this world, and
without this, the cleverest woman and
the most perfect housekeeper is sure
to lose her husbands affection in time.
There may be few more men like
your Will, as gentle, as loving, and
chivalrous, as forgetful of self, and SO
satisfied with loving that their affection
will die long struggling death but in
most cases it takes but a few years OF
fretfulness and fault-fnding to turn a
husbands love into irritated indiffer-
ence"
''Well, Auntien-
eyes, we'll You are not dead vet.
and that sweet-tempered woman has
not been found so you have time to
become so serene and sweet that your
husband can never imagine that there
is better tempered woman in existence.

William King of Dover shod horse
for Patrick Marrer last February and
charged him 40 cents for it, but Marrer
would only give 35 cents, which the
other refused to take, and would not
give up the horse. From this little
beginning lawsuit sprung which has
already cost $767, not including law
yers' fees, and is still going on. This
is almost equal to the Morse and Gates
horse case in this court.

Mrs. President Hayes is not dead
yet, nor likely soon to be. But of her
while yet living, it may be said, nil nisi
bonum. She is noted in Washington for
one thing which seldom gets into print
-"doing good by stealth" In this ex-
ercise of her religious principles, she
knows no seasons-only need and suf-
fering. Where there is sick man or
woman known to Mrs. Hayes, her car
rage will be seen there afternoons, and
Jerry" the coal-black coachman, who
descended to this dynasty from the last,
will be found disguised as ministering
angel. Mrs. Hayes successor will have
to be very superior woman to fill her
place. Woman'S Journal.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 6.-The Repub-
lican Convention reassembled at GA. NJ.
Resolutions were offered by Hon. a. A.
Freeman, which provoked breezy dis
cussion. Believing that General Grant is
the first choice Of the overwhelming ma
jority OF the Republicans OF Tennessee for
the Presidency, therefore
ResoIred, That it Is the sense OF this con-
vention that the delegation selected to
represent the State in the Chicago Con-
vention should be composed OF persons
who sympathize with this sentiment, and
who will, without instructions, cast the
vote OF the State for General Grant.
Finally the resolution, with all the
other resolutions, was referred TO the
Committee on Resolutions without read
ing or debate.
The Committee on Resolutions then
submitted a platform, which was adopted.
The resolutions reattirm devotion TO the
National Republican party and its princi-
Piles, condemn the reputation OF the
State debt and favor the payment Of the
bonds dollar for dollar, aud express tue
fear that the Democratic plan is final re-
pudiation OF the National debt. They ia.
vor free schools as the mother OF morality
and liberty; oppose the convict lauor sys'
TEN, and denounce social ostraCism on &C
count OF political opinion.
The convention then proceeded to the
nomination Of candidate lOI Governor
and the following names were presented;
W. 2. Gillen, X. Y. Waters, Of Hawkins
A. n. Hughes, Of Murry, Alvin HaW kin
OF Carroll, Thos. G. Muze, OF Madison.

PrrrsBuRGu, May 6.-Relative to the re-
duction Of the card rate of iron to q cents,
the iron masters say it was an absolute ne.
cessity, by reason OF the reports submitted
at recent meeting that stores in Cleve-
land and Chicago were selling at that
price. Manufacturers here were dumb
founded at such reports, and said it was
easily to be understood why no orders
were received here with the card rate at
three and two.tenths cents per pound.
Therefore the reduction was ordered. 1t
Is held that for the first time in many
years the trade has got into the hands OF
speculators, and that the importation Of
iron has caused trouble.
Orders have been received to store for.
eign iron. Vessels arriving are having
their cargoes placed in bond, and vast
deal has been ordered to be reshipped.

the honor conferred on him, declared in

from prominent Republicans OF the coun-

PierpOint, West Virginia.
Thereport OF the Committee on ReSolu-
tions was read as follows and ut once
adopted without debate:
In pursuance OF the demand, and rep
resenting the convictions OF what We be-
lieve to be majorty Of the Republican
party throughout the Union, this Conven-
ton OF Republicans has assembled for
the purpose Of declaring their convictions
with reference to the present aspect
OF political affairs. The deliberate and
emphatic expression is especially demand-

force on the party the nomination OF q
candidate for the Presidency for third
term, in defiance, not only OF the tradl-
tion OF the Government as established by
its founders and consecrated by an un-
broken and venerable usage and prescrip
ton down to the present time, but also 0t

cision to the principles OF the Republican
party as heretofore set forth by iSauthor-
lied representatives, and in view of the
present exigencies we do especially reaf-
firm the recent declarations Of the various
State Republican Conventions Of former
years against third term.
Resolred, That the nomination Of the
third term candidate is especially to be
deprecated by The pe0pleas II willunavoid-
ably put the Republican party on the de-
fentive, because it will revive the memory
OF public scandals and official cOrruptions
which brought our party TO the verge
of ruin and will again alinate o large and
powerful body Of voters, without whose
aid success Is neither possible nor de-
served; while in the character and sur
roundings Of the third term candidate,

renee, but rather renewed menace in
the history OF men who are the loudest in
