Slavery Days Returned-Negroes Sold at
 Public Auction.
 LYNCHBURG, Dec. 14.-Three male ne- groes were sold at public auction at Liberty, Bedford county, yesterday, under an old va grant law, by order of magistrate, absolute ownership ceasing at the expiration of three months. There was no excitement whatever over the strange sale and but few bidders. No one seemed inclined to be burdened with the care of the colored vagrants. They were finally knocked down for a few dollars each, charity for their destitute condition being the principal motive of the bidders.

What TheySaw Through a Window

A Martyr to Fidelity and Devotion. In the southern part of Bolton, near the old shoddy mill, there has lived for six or eight years past an Englishman, aged about 60, by the name of Woolrich Three or four years ago his wife left him, running away with another man, and since that time Wool rich has lived alone. The house is an ordi- nary country house of the palmer sort and contained small amount of furniture, bed, stove, etc. Woolrich, who did not appear to be doing much for living, kept five dogs some of them ugly-and few people, for that reason, went near the house. Last Thursday notification was left with First Selectman White that an investigation of the Woolrich premises should be made-that Woolrich had not been seen for several days, and might need attention. Messrs. White and Sumner two resolute men, went to the house.
 They were greeted by the furious onset of large coach dog, who, on their opening the door just wide enough to look in, bounded forward with an ominous growl and a display of teeth that meant mischief. Unwilling to get bitten, the men shut the door and went to the window. Looking in, they saw Wool rich sitting in 8 chair by the stove, his head bent forward as if asleep. Unable to arouse h1m, and the dog continuing to exhibit the ugliest symptoms, it was resolved to kill him. MT. White had brought his gun; but the dog kept so near his master, as if guarding him, that it was not deemed safe to fire from the window; and, raising this, the visitors hurled stone, to start the dog forward. He dashed at them with a furious bound, when the gun was discharged, killing the faithful animal instantly.
 Going into the room, the visitors were un- able to rouse Woolrich, and discovered that he was dead-frozen stiff and hard as an oak plank. Probably he had been dead several days and had been frozen to death, for the weather had been very cold. He was not known as a drinking man.
 His other dogs, starved out had left him, but this one faithful and formidable ani- nal, seeing that his master was in trouble, had refused to desert him. and stood it out bravely by his side, in cold and hunger. For how long time this had been could not be known but evidently for some days. The dog fell a martyr to his devotion and fidelity.
 It was found that the mans body was fro zen so stiff as to render it almost impossible to get it into coffin The burial was con ducted by the town oficials.-Harttord

The Bang.

The Bang.
oh, the bang, the horrible bang!
Worse, even worse, than the modern girls slang,
Covering hiding, her forehead SO fair.
Warming young men of that girl to beware.
See it disfigures the head OF child,
Smelling her features so fresh and SO mild,
Cut with the kitchen clip down to her eyes,
Leaving her brow an affair OF SurmiSe.
PLENTY of charms has the sweet little girl,
Ewes of clear azure and teeth of pure pearl.
Yet we must ask of her head and its shape
SIS it human or is it an ape?.'
See her grown sister, her bang all in curls,
Deeming herself the most lovely OF girls,
Making that bang with such exquisite care.
Looks like plaster or poultice Of hair.
Young fellows stare at such girls as they stop,
Not to admire, but to quiz their make up,
Saving with utterance quiet and deep,
ssAucilage ought be plenty and cheap!'
Grandmother too must come out with bang
Nearly as bad as the rest of the gang,
Hiding the forehead that grandpa admres
Under friz that she borrOws or hires.
WHY should our women, the loved OF our heart.
Make thems elves frighttul by hideous arts?
Wbv should they cover their foreheadS so fair,
Worse than the male fool, who pasters his hair.
Surely the serpent bequeathed us fang,
Left in the garden and known as a bang.
Let it DEPART and by no more insidious
Ways, may the beautiful make themselves.hideous

When the manager of the great menagerie,

two classes of people who respond to the in
vitation, namely: The honest souls that
seek recreation with we'll filed pocket books
and no guile in their honest noodles, and
the blacklegs of society whose special pur-
pose is to take them in. So it was " en-
Bill King opened up the fair at Minneapolis,
the thieves, blacklegs and crooks from all
over the country pack up their grips and
he'd them to the sawdust burg to work the
fair. DorIng the past few days these gentry
have been arriving in hordes and they are
prepared for business. In order to guard
against their depredstions, and be 1t said
they know enough to give this city wide
berth. generally speaking, his honor, Mayor
Dawson, thought 1t advisable to swear in
several special policemen. A dozen extra
men were sworn In by Chief Weber yester

TIE AFoHAN-DEbEAT.

For the third time within year the Brit
ish troops IN Afghanistan have achieved q
decisive victory over the natives. This
time the rout of the Afghans has apparently
been complete. They have lost largely in
men and in munitions of war, and have
been scattered to the four winds Of heaven,
with little present prospect of again being
able to rally in sufficient force to offer sue
cessful resistance to the occupation of their
country by the British.
This last rout of the Afghans is manifest
" their worst. Since the invasion Of the
country they never presented as solid front
as two weeks since. Nearly all the hill
tribes we're united and under one leadership.
They had succeeded in defeating detach-
ment of the British army near Candahar
and, flushed with victory, had made de-
termined stand with the purpose of driving
the invaders from their soil. They were at
tackled by Gen. Roberts with q vastly inferior
force in numerical point of vlew. The SUI
perior discipline and arms of the British
soon turned the scale, and the tribes were

istered to his wife's wants, paying the ply
sician's bill, and all other necessary expenses
But the boy Otto did not then know his father,
though he was IA years old. He was employed
in prominent merchant tailoring ests blish-
ment as messenger. and thus aided his
mother in his support. BE had heard his
father was alive. and in Chicago, and he sought
Q directory to discover his whereabouts.
Finding the name Clark Dwight Bisbee, and
the address. he went to his fathers house, and
saw him for the first time. OF
course, the meeting Of father and
son under such circumstances was
of his mother, Otto went to live with his ia
ther. That was about the end of June last.
Matters progressed smoothly for time, but
the boy AYERS that his father treated him very
harshly, and q week ago ornered him to quit
bis house VI he would put him and his effects
outside. He gave him until this evening to
find other quarters, but the lad ASSERTS he will
not do 40.
He says he has regularly given his earnings
to his father and he must support him. On
the other hand, Mr.. Bisbee declares
he did not give his son such
an order, and he has endeavOred
to treat him we'll and govern him by moral
suaslop. but the boy hss not been under proper
own way more than one of his years should
have. He proposes to support him, but he
also proposes to govern him and educate him.
There is question of veracity between father
and son, and the latter is certainly imbued
with the idea that he has got to leave bis
fathers house or get put out. Should any steps
be taken by the father to ejest the lad, the
courts will have nice legal point to settle, and
one that never came up before.

HON. 4. aMfrH Raaa.

Hon. A. Smith Bagg. an old and prominent
resident of Detroit, Mich, died suddenly of
heart disease on Sunday. Mr. Bagg was ns-
tive of the State of New York, hut had been q
resident of Detroit between thirty and forty
years. He was at one time an active politician.
always being an earnest Democrat and occu-
pied prominent place in the councils of the
party. OF late years he had devoted
himself exclusively to his pri-
vate business. Mr.. Bagg was man universal
ly esteemed and respected in the circle in
which be lived and moved, and his sudden
death carries sorrow far beyond the immediate
family circle of which he was the center.
He was generous to fault, noble in every in
s.lnct, and a thorough daspiaer of all shams.
Honest and upright to the last degree, he leaves
to his sorrowing family the legacy Of good
name--a name without stain or reproach. His
death is in reality public loss, and one who
knew him long and well would fain share with
the immediate family the sorrow which no
earthly comfort can assauge.

Put Up or shut Up.
Washington Special. Sept. s.. I

From this point of observation the politi-
cal situation seems to lean very decidedly
toward the election of the Democratic Ma
tionsl candidates. One good evidence of
Democratic faith is the fact that the betting
on the result is forced by the Democrats,
and the Republicans do not respond with
that alacrity which is the mark of confidence.
There are plenty of open bets outstanding
that Indiana will 60 Democratic in October,
ana that Hancock will be elected in Novam-
Der. In connection with this subject, q bet
offered by George Wilkes through the col
umns of the New York Sun, has Gre
ated considerable Consideration among
the ofice-holding class. Wilkes writes as
follows: 81 will bet my old friend Thomas
Murphy, or any other man, $4,000 that
General Hancock will be elected next Presi-
dent Of the United States. He Thomas
Murphy or any one reading this offer may
close with it instanter by depositing $4,000
with Drexel, Morgan & Co., of Wall and
Broad streets. That distinguished house
