A COpartnership In a Cat.
[From the Missionary in India

Four men bought quantity of cotton
in copartnership. That the rats might
not injure it they bought cat. and
agreed that each should own one of its
legs. Each leg was then adorned with
beads, and other ornaments by its owner.
The cat accidentally injured one of its
legs, and the owner wound rag round
it, soaked in oil. The cat by chance set
the rag ON fire, and being in great pain,
rushed among the cotton bales, where
she had been accustomed to hunt rats.
The cotton was totally burned The
three other partners brought suit against
the owner of the invalid leg torecover the
value of their cotton, and the judge de-
cided that, as the injured leg could not
be used, the cat carried the fire to the
cotton with her three remaining legs.
They only We're culpable; and their own
ers We're required to compensate the
owner of the injured leg for his share of
the loss.

His Wigs and Diamonds.
From London Society,"
..o, ~, o.o &ha n.Ln &c

Time was when the Duke of Brunswick
was figure in London society; and dare
say there are some who remember the
tall, thin figure, with the saturnine face
and the wigs that defy description. He
had a complete assortment of wigs, and
his dressing-room was like a Derrng"ier'S
shop. His wigs were oil of the same
color (black) but OF different sizes and
shapes. Those who knew him well used
to declare that they could tell whatmood
he was in by the wig he wore. When he
was particularly irritable and ont of tenn
per, for example, he invariably donned a
wig Of closely cropped hair, which made
him look a sort Of cross between prize.
fighter and convict. The dukes dIa-
mOnds were even more remarkable than
his wigs; they were the finest, / suppose,
in Europe. He was very chary Of ex-
hibiting them, and kept them jealously
guarded under lock and key. His Eng
lIsh valet once swallowed q set OF the
dukes diamond shirt studs, whether by
accident or design was never satisfactory
ly explained; but at any rate the duke re-
covered them by process similar to TINT
by which the cat in Mrs. GasSell's Gran
ford was made to disgorge the swallowed
lace. A powerful emetic was admins
tered, and, without entering into further
details, ] may say that the duke ever
afterward wore those studs rs buttons to
his boots.

NEGROES IN NORTH CAROLINA.
How They are Oppressed and NAL.
treated by Democratic ORGANIZE.

treated by Democratic Organiza-
tiOns.
A Washington dispatch says that the
Democrats seem determined not to allow
Republican witnesses to get summoned
before the exodus committee. but on
Wednesday they caught Tartar in one
OF their own witnesses, Badger, son of
ex-senator Badger, of North Carolina.
He was summoned by the Democrats
and is opposed to the exodus. During
his examination he made some remarks
as to the Ku-Klux outrages in North
Carolina, which led Senator Window,
who cross-examined him, to question
him very closely ON that subject. The
witness said that the negroes did not
have equal Justice in the courts, and that
they were Disseminated against. When
asked about the Ku-Klux outrages, he
said that he was appointed by the gov
eminent few years ago to investigate
them, and he knew all about them. He
said there were hundreds of cases
of whipping, shooting aud muir
ders of every kind. The wit
ness further said that there were three
organizations in the state, the White
brotherhood, the Constitutional Union
Guard, and the Invisible Empire. One
was political, to carry the state for the
Democrats; another had for its object to
reinstate the Confederacy-tO restore the
lost cause; IND the third was one which
was organized for the purpose of com
uniting murder. The first two were not
dangerous, he SAID, but the last was. II
a negro, a. he expressed it, "got too
big for his breeches," or Republican
was too active, this order would decree
his death III the county where he lived,
and would then send to some other
county, to like organization. who
would furnish the executioner to COM
NIT the murder. AS to the discrimina-
ton in the courts, the witness said that
If negroes were arrested for larceny they
were always convicted much more GER
tainly than white man. In order to
make himself more plainly under
stood on this pont he gave the
following illustration: A colored wo-
man was ut work in n barn husking
corn. She was singing, and making u
good deal Of noise. The white man in
charge Of the farm came along and told
her to make less noise and she would get
along faster with her work. She an.
swered back rather imprudently for a
negro. The man then replied with in
sulting language, and the woman retort-
ed i'll the same manner. ThereupOn he
seized a bludgeon and beat her over the
shoulder with it until the stick dropped
from his hands. He then took his PTS
tol and hammered over the head with it,
the woman all the time defending herself
rs best she could by scratching him.
They were both arrested, and the colored
woman was convicted and the white man
acquitted. When questioned as to the
elections i'll North Carolina, Badger said
that the colored men were swindled out
of their votes. For instance, he said
that when Vance was elected he got
$1,000 more votes than there were Demo
Gratis in the state.

The Origin Of the Epithet "Bloody
Shirt"

We can recall q dozen of murders
committed by the Mississippi bull
dozers during the campaign of 1875,
which were far more atrocious than the
killing of Capt. Dixon, but the South
ern agents of the Associated Press, by
constant, willful and persistent lying,
kept up an impression that these homi-
cides resulted from personal difficult
ties" and family feuds." 1t was diff
cult for the Northern people to believe
that in every county in Mississippi
there was body of armed conspirators,
whose business it was to kill every Re-
publican who refused to leave the State
after being warned to 60 cor take the
consequences" but such was the fact.
The murder of Senator Caldwell by
mob was far more cruel and cowardly
crime than the assassination of Capt.
Dixon, and yet, if any one will take the
trouble to turn back to the account of
this affair, which was telegraphed over
the country and published in all the
daily newspapers, he will see Caldwell
represented as a most bloodlhirsty and
vicious man, whom the good people of
his country were obliged to kill in self
defense.
1t was during this period QS75) that
the coarse and brutal phrase, bloody
Shirt" was invented; and, while the Mis-
sissippi ruffians were busily engaged in
hunting down all the Republican poll
ticians with shot-gans, sympathizing
Northern editors kept up lively fusil-
ade of ridiculous epithets, aimed at
those who complained of this method
of conducting a political campaign.
Capt Dixon rendered such conspicu-
Gus service to the Democratic party
with his shotgun that, after the cam
paign was over and the so-called "vic-
tory" had been won, his admiring fell
low. citizens presented him with silver
pitcher, on which was engraved the in
scription:
To
The Bravest Of the Brave,
Opt Henry NJ Dixon.

citizens OF Yazoo county as an humble testimo-
NAL of their high appreciation OF his brilliant
services in the redemption Of the county from
