- Miss Payne, of st. Paul, became q
secret smoker. When two gentlemen
called she hurriedly thrust lighted Gig

ablaze, receiving burns that were almost
The Democratic majority for Cover
nor of Louisiana was 30,751. The new
constitution had q majority of 59,072,
and the repudiating debt ordinance, voted
on separately, was carried by 1876. Debt
ordinance advocates are trying to prove
that reputation does not repudiate, but
they make sorry job of it.
King Kalakaua of the Sandwich
Islnds is in trouble. The Chinese are
overrunning his dominions, monopolizing
the business of shop-keeping and mar
ry;ng the women. In time they may cap
ture the kingdom and put Chinaman
on the throne. The disgusted monarch
has endeavored to promote immigration
from Europe, but it comes slowly. 1t is
feared that he will initiate Thee Baw of
Burmah and take to drinking to dull the

- In his family Senator Bayard is the
model husband and the model father.
His wife and his children are his jewels,
and he cherishes them with true ia.
theirs love and care. His family are his
companions, and when he is not engaged
in his public duties at the Capital you
are almost sure to find him with his fam
lily at home. The Bayards live very un-
pretentiously here at Washington, in q
plain, brown mansion, large and roomy.
The house is furnished with view to
the comfort of the inmates rather than
as an exhibition of the wealth of its
owner, and therein it differs from the
homes of most wealthy men here in
Washington. The engravings and pain
tings upon the walls are rare rather than
numerous the furniture is comfortable
and artistic rather than fashionable and
snowy. =.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Atlanta Constitution is responsible
for the statement that President Hayes
was arrested by one of the Capitol police
Saturday. It seems that there are certain
seats in the rotunda set apart for ladies.
Mr.. Hayes stopped in the rotunda, and
for few moments sat down on one of
these seats. The policeman, not know
ing Mr.. Hayes, ordered him up, and the
President not responding very readily,
the policeman arrested him and started
for the guard room, when an employe re-
cognized the officers mistake and inform
ed him whom he had arrested. The off,
Ger made profuse apologies, but the Pres
ident said: "That is all right suppose
YOU were carrying out orders" The
officer is named Alex. Stephens Birch,
and was placed on the force by Mr..
Stephens, and Mr.. Birch's mother signed
Mr.. Stephens bond when he was released
from prison after the war.
- The Chicago Inter- Ocean has been
badly sold by colored individual calling
himself John Jackson, and representing
himself as former slave of Gen. Wade
Hampton. Jackson graciously submitted
to an "interview," in which he gave
blood.curdling account of his slave days
on the Hampton plantation, represented
to be in South Carolina, detailing partic-
ularly how the slaves of Gen. Hampton
we're fogged brutally and pursued by
bloodhounds. This plausible political
| Indictment was forwarded to Senator
Hampton by some humane and honest
truth.seekers in the West. "You may
state two facts, if you wish," Gen.
Hampton replied to the writer, "in gen
eral reply to all that is here said about
me. The first is that have never owned
slave named John Jackson nor ever
employed "a contraband' of that name on
nv plantation The second is that l
have never had a plantation or any in

I have never planted outside of Missis-
sippi. With these triaing corrections
the interview may pass for what it is
WORTH"
- South Carolina is represented in
the U. S. Senate by Senators Hampton
and Butler, both of whom do their walk
ing on one natural leg, the other being
supplied by the skill of an English artist.
Of Senator Hampton it is needless to
make mention. His fame is common
heritage between the Palmetto and the
Lone Star State. From the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, his daring achievements
are household words, and the name of
Hampton is enough of itself to rouse in
the coldest heart some feeling of warmth
and patriotism. Of M. G. Butler, Hamp.
toms right hand in war, so much is not
known. The writer has known him since
he came as student to the L. c. College
| in 1852. He was then just eighteen years
of age. He made his impression from
the day of admittance. He was soon re-
cognized as the leader of his class,
and so it has ever been with him.. so
far through life. He has been leader,
and deservedly SO, for be never leads
through crooked paths. Our personal
friendship may possibly influence our
Judgment, but we hesitate not to make the
prediction, that if the South is ever allow
ed to fill the presidential chair, NJ. G. But,
ler will be the man, and that he will
