The Outcome of Miscegnation.

The marriage of Ada Deyo, a pretty
and accomplished white girl, and the
adopted daughter of John Deyo, a
wealthy farmer of Gardiner, Ulster
county, N. Y. to a negro who worked
for Deyo, in the autumn of 1880, was
widely reported at the time. The girl
is now an inmate of the Sullivan coun-
ty poor-house, near Monticello, N. Y.
Miss Deyo was engaged to be married
to an estimable young man, but the en-
gagement was broken, and shortly af-
terward she ran away with the negro
Sampson. The pair went TO all the
ministers in Kingston, but were unable
to get anyone TO marry them until Miss
Deyo had been transformed into ne
gress by the aid of burnt cork. When
asked recently why she left her hus-
band the young woman, after a mo-
ments hesitation and crying, replied
"You see, as long as they kept coming
to see us, and everybody was excited
over our marriage, John was very kind
to me. He protected me from inquisi-
tive people, kept up my courage, and
appeared to love me as l did him. But
he gradually changed, and after out lit
tie boy was born he was never the same.
Finally he failed to support me, and as
was unable to work for myself, came
here" Mr.. Deyo has repeatedly offer
ed to give her home if she would on
ly leave Sampson.

WHY WE HAVE SO FEW GOOD
RIDERS.
irand Blanc, Sept. 20, 1882.

1t has frequently been the subject
of remark as to the cause of the scar
city of good Jockeys. To be sure we
have some excellent riders-Barrett,
Evans, Hughes, Barbee, Feakes, and
probably half a dozen others, but not
more. The secret is explained in the
fact that unless Jockey takes great
care of himself constant exercise in
the saddle will superinduce Piles of
the most aggravating character, that
itch intensely, particularly after get
ting warm in bed, and thus render
him unfit for service on the track.
However if Swayne's Ointment were
used, the worst case of Itching Piles
would be speedily cured.

Parson Hensely stole n horse, and
was arraigned before the court. ''Par-
son." said the Judge, 81 have always
regarded you as an honest man, and |
am surprised to see you here, arrested
upon such charge, and with proof so
conclusive. Why did you steal the
horse, parson?'
'Jedge, dat word steal, much rs l

an put de money out ut intrust wild a

That's all very straight, parson, but
the evidence says that shortly after you
sold the horse the owner and consta-
bic came along. You took to your

Crushing a Citizen.

The proprietor of Woodward avenue
store, says the Free Press, which had
been finely decorated in honor of the
Knights of Pythias was at his door yes
terday, when an old man lounged up
and began:
''Such ignorance never saw in all
my life! You see that man across there
the one with the white hat on?"
"Yes."
swell, he was having good deal to
say, and asked him who Pythias was.
Would you believe it he couldn't an
swer mep''
"C-couldn't hep" stammered the citi-
zen.
''No, sir, he couldn't. Think of such
ignorance in this enlightened age!
When told him who Pythias was he
called me liar. Now, want to prove
that I'm right. You como over and tell
him all about it,
''But II can't leave"
Then I'll bring him over here"
''No, you neednt-rm busy
al see you are, but when man calls
me a liar want to prove that amt.
I'll have him over in a minute"
He hadn't crossed the street before
the merchant slid into the store and
hurried up stairs to keep out of sight
for IN hour, and it was only after he
was certain that the old man had de-
parted that he slipped down and con-
suited Webste-'s dictionary to see if he
could find out whether Pythias was a
town, man, or temple on hill.
