Every Republican will hope that the Ma
tional Union League may be able to devise
some way of overcoming Bourbonism in the
South. The New York Tribune says that
although the problem has long occupied the
attention of the country sit is no nearer a
solution now than it was ten years ago."
One thing is certain, it will never be eradi-
Gated by ignoring 1t or submitting to it. An
alliance Of ignorance, prejudice and power,
1t will not readily yield. The only way is to
back up the work of the American Missiona-
ry Association and public schools with irre-
sistable Republican majorities in the North.
Herr Lasker, the famous leader of the
German Liberals, who is now travelling in
this country, says the characteristic of the
American people which strikes him most
forclbly lie their reverence for law. Even on
the borders of civilization, he said, he found
general readiness to uphold judicial au-
thority and establish an organized state of So
ciety political and otherwise. Herr Lasker's
observation is in the main correct. There
are exceptions however. Washington juries
and the Mormons are the most conspicuous
ones, though the latter, we believe, do claim
to obey the higher law. The former make
no professions of any kind.

But first she thought she would try

she called out To know who was there.
To this demand there came 10 au-

sistently, click. click, the noise went
on.
Again she made the demand, to re-
ceive no reply.

as heavy a leap as she could assume,
she drew the sword from its sheath.

she was 4 man, and q furious one at
that.
Fiercely she tramped to the stair

renew her call. and only to hear that
measured click 60 on quite as uncon.

he had no one to deal with but q

her defiance.

stairs, trying to step as heavily as a

that click, and no movement betray-
ing the whereabouts of her adversary.
Again she paused in uncertainty. and
again called out, "Who is there ?"

door had not been latched behind her.
Puss had been left in the room, and
becoming tired of her confinement, had
endeavored to open the door with her

paw, ihewind drew it together again,

sound which had so reused her fears of

Grandmother's RObber.

From the Buffalo Telegraph.
A long time since, my grandmoth-
er lived in New England, and she had
brother who WAS a sea captain.
This brother used to earn a great deal
of money, and save it. This. money
he used to give my grandmother to
keep for him, and she lid it in her
house as best she could, often fearing
that some bad person might some
time seek to rob her of the precious
treasure.
Every one knew my great uncle as
a prudent, saving man, who did not
spend his money foolishly,
as many sailors do; and as
nv grandmother was known to be
his favorile sister, it was sbrewdly
suspected that she kept his extra
money.
One dsrk, rainy night. she was
alone in her house with another lady.
when she thought Of her charge, and
to guard against emergencies, had
brought An AZ and put it by her
bed.
In the night she heard a fumbling
ut the outer window of an iuclosed
gallery, and BY the tightening flashes
distinctly saw the figure Of . man seek
ing to gain admittance.
This brave woman instantly called
out to him that she bad al az, and
if be dared to put his head or hand
in at that window, she would instantly
cut il of.
He stayed around . little while. but
seeming to think nv grandmother
watchful acd determined, he gave up
the attempt, but she never slept .
wink that whole night for watching.
But some time after this my grand
mother had a more terrible fright than
this.
1t 80 CHANGED that everv one but
my aunt was from home, 1Dt in the
night she heard an ominous click click
from the chamber above.
What was it! Her frst thought
was Of her treasure her second that
some one had gained entrance 10 the
house, and was busy picking the lock
of the chest in which she yep the
money.
What should she do j.? She could
not lie quietly and see her brother
robbed of the hard earnings of years.
Yet how should she protect them

A Disgraceful Row.

A row occurred yesterday afternoon about 3
o'clock at a picnic Of thirty or forty drunken
men and women 10 the woods north of the In
sane Asylum, which came near resulting in an
other Sunday murder The crowd was COM
posed of very disreputable class. which had
gone to the woods with two kegs of beer for the
deliberte purpose of getting drunk. About 3
o'clock Monroe Hedges, an old man, who had
taken part OF the crowd out in his wagon, be-
gan hitching up the team, and an
nounced his intention of coming TO
town. George BarIaby declared that
he should not leave until the rest
were ready to go, and fight followed, in which
Barnaby knocked the old man down with club.
A general fight ensued, in which nearly the
whole crowd took a hand. 1t was at first sup
posed that Hedges had been killed, and a tele-
phOnic message to that effect was sent to town.
The superintendent of police and several officers
went out to the place, but found that Hedges
had recovered consciousness, and no one was
dangerously injured. George Barnahy had all
ugly cash cut in his forehead, where he was
struck with a whip-stock by Jonas Hedges, a son
of the old man, with whom the fight begun. One
shot was fired, hut was wounded. The
police returned to the city without making any
arrests, but all who participated in the row will
probably be prosecuted before the justices this
morning.
