An affecting scene occurred in the
New York Tombs Police Court re-
Gently. Charles b. Sheridan, aged
eighteen years, was arraigned for
stealing valise, the property of Mr..
McVeigh, of Pennsylvania. The pris-
oner freely admitted his guilt, and
conducted the detectives to pawnshops
where the stolen property was recover
ed. The detectives agreed that it was
Sheridan's first offense. After the
formal complaint had been made, Jus
tice Morgan asked Sheridan what he
had to say in his own behalf. The
boy burst into tears and said: 81 new

eaten anything for two dsss and I

Sessions" As Sheridan was being
taken away, his mother, a respectable

repeat | know the people Of the whole
South are heartily willing to abide by
and respect the political rights confer
red ci the colored race by the amend
ments to the Constitution. Yet, while
this is true, they felt and still feel that
much of the reconstruction legisla-
tion of Congress was an attempt to in
terfere with their social customs and
needlessly to humble their pride; that
the legislation aimed, or seemingly so,
to give advantage to the colored peo-
pie in the struggle for political power !;
to exalt the ignorant classes of that
section above the intelligent to con-
fer special immunities and protection
upon the late slave. Now ask, could
any sensitive, brave, high-minded peo-
pie, no matter how sadly crushed by
the adversities of war and the general
arrangement of their industries, no
matter how great mistakes or wrongs
they might have made, do otherwise

Great injustice is down them when it
is imputed to disloyalty or a continued
spirit of rebellion. My best informa-
tion and observation, obtained by lis
tening to conversation in cars, hotels,
reception-rooms, in private and public
places where | was unknown, has con-
WINGED me that the earnest, anxious
desire of that people at the close of
the war was to resume quietly and
dignifiedly their political relations in
the Union. They accepted in good
faith the results imposed upon them
by the constitutional amendments and
strove by accommodating themselves
to the changed condition of labor to
build up again their waste places and
regain their lost prosperity. The
solid South would soon thaw and par
ty crust crumble if they were left to
manage their domestic affairs unmo-
lested. feel that that people will not

Fran the Bradford pa.) Era.

Frsm the Bradford pa Era
On Chm mas eve as the night ex-
press on tne Erie Railroad left New
York Ci Y there were seated in the car
n poor woman and her two little child
req, aged about four and five years,
going 70 the far West. A conversation
between the mother and children in
which Santa Claus was talked of was
listened to by the passengers. The
mother told her little blue-eyed girl
that as they we're in the cars Santa
Claus could not give them any pres
ents because the train was running too
fast for him to get on. This statement
cast shade of gloom over the bright
faced children. They sat for some
time in meditative silence. 1t was
soon observed that the little travellers
were growing sleepy. Tears gathered
in many eyes as the little ones kneeled
on the car cushions to lisp their evening
prayers. The little girl said, "Please tell
good Santa Claus that we are on this
train going to see papa, and if he can,
to put some presents in little Joey and
Maggie's stockings hanging up ON the
car window. Amen" The children
then hung up their stockings by the
car window. In few minutes more
they were soon asleep in the arms of
their mother. After a pause a gentle
man in front of them spoke to the pas
sengers as follows "You have heard
the prayers Of these two little children.
Now l will give one dollar towards
making them happy when they wake
up in the II orning." He then passed
his hat around the car and collected

oranges and figs and a picture book
for each, which with two more silver
dollars he placed in the little stockings.
When they awakened in the morning
and saw their stockings full the little
girl exclaimed, "Oh, mamma, see
what Santa Claus has found us be-
cause we prayed"

Friends have left me I'm standing al

and if it were not for the fear might

The letter was duly received, and
read to DIR. Guthrie, who was on Wis

morning he gave them the following
lines, which he said the letter had sug-
gested to his mind during the night.

A Slave Saved by a Bank Note.

A Paris curiosity-collecter has i'm
his possession a bank note with n
strange history. Sixty-one years ago
a Liverpool cashier, while holding the
note TO the light to test its genuineness.
noticed some faint red marks upon If.
which on closer examination proved
to be semi-efaced words scrawled in
blood between the printed lines and
upon the blank margin of the note.
With a good deal of trouble the follow
ing sentence was made out: "If this
note should fall into the hands of John
Dean, of Long Hill, near Carlisle. he
will learn hereby that his brother is
langulshing a prisoner in Algiers."
Mr.. Dean was promptly communicate
ed with by the holder of the note. and
he appealed to the Government of the
Dey for assistance in his endeavor TO
obtain his brothers release from cap
tivity. The prisoner, who, as it supse-
quently appeared, had traced the above
sentence upon the note with a splinter
of wood dipped in his own blood, had
been slave TO the Dey of Algiers for
eleven years when his writing first
attracted attention. His family and
friends had long believed him dead.
Eventually his brother, with the aid
of the British authorities in the Med
itterranean, succeeded in ransoming
him from the Dey and brought him
homo to England.

The First Attack on the American
President.

1t may interest President Hayes TO
read Mr.. james Parton's account of
the attack made by Lieutenant Ran
dolph on President Jackson in 1888:
"On the sixth day of May the Pres
ident, accompanied by members of his
Cabinet, and by Major Donelson, left
the capital in steamboat for Freder-
icksburg, Va, where he was TO lay the
Washington which is still unfinished.
At Alexandria, where the steamer
touched, there came on board Mr..
Randolph, late lieutenant in the
navy, who had been recently dismissed
the service. Randolph made his way
to the cabin, where he found the Pres
ident sitting behind table reading
newspaper. He approached the table
as if to salute the President.
Excuse me rising, sir said the
General, who was not acquainted with
Randolph, L have pain in my side
which makes it distressing for me to
rise
Randolph made no reply to the
courteous apology, but appeared to be
trying to take off his glove.
=" Never mind your glove, SIR, said
the General, holding out his hand.
At this time Randolph thrust his
hand violently into the Presidents
face, intending, as it appeared, to pull
his nose. The captain of the boat,
who was standing by, instantly seized
Randolph and drew him back. A
violent scufile ensued, during which the
table was broken. The friends of
Randolph clutched him and hurried
him ashore before many of the passen-
gers knew what had occurred, and
thus he effected his escape. The pas
seDgers soon crowded into the cabin
to learn If the General was hurt.
Had | KNOWN he said, that il
was Randolph who stood before me /
should have been prepared for him,
and | could have defended myself.
No william, said ne, has ever escaped
me before, and he would not had il
not been for my confined situation
"Some blood was seen on his face,
and he was asked whether he had
been injured.
"'No, said he, 4 am not much hurt /;
but in endeavoring to rise / have
wounded my side, which now pains
me more than it did,
"One of the citizens of Alexandria,
who had heard of the outrage, nd.
dressed the General and said Sir, ii
you will pardon me in case / am tried
and convicted, l will kill Randolph
for this insult to you, in fifteen min
utes.'
"'No, SIR, said the President, I can.
not do that. want no man to stand
between me and my assailants, and
none to take revenge on my account.
Had ! been prepared for this cowardly
villains approach, can assure you
all that he would never have the tenn
Gritty to undertake such thing again.

the newspaper of the wrongs which
he said he had received at the hands
of the Government. The opposition
papers, though condemning the out.
