THERE is a great deal of folly in this
world, but we do not recollect anything
quite SO utterly foolish as the protest of
"a few of the white citizens" Of Eatonton,
Ga, against the acceptance by the Chronicle
of that place of subscriptions from colored
people. The editor of the Chronicle has
very sensibly decided that he will take
paying subscribers, no matter what the
color of their skin, hair or eyes, or "previ-
Gus condition" That anyone of any sense
should deem it wrong in a newspaper pub
Usher to send his paper to a colored man, is
very strange thing at this day, twenty
years after Freedom cried OUT to use the
idiom of the ex-slave. Would a merchant
refuse to sell goods to a colored man?
Would lawyer refuse to take q fec from
colored man? Would politician refuse
the votes of colored men? Would any
Southern man (for no such question has
ever agitated the North) who had anything
to sell or trade refuse an equitable or ad-
vantageous bargain because the person of
fering it was colored. Ofcourse not. No man,
Southern or Northern, would be quite such
an internal idiot as this. Certainly South
ern men who publish papers will sell their
papers to colored people who want to buy,
and they would be bigger fools than Thomp-
sons colt if they refused to do SO.

Mr.. Pennebaker, who is Kentuckian,
is an old Mexican soldier. Full of fire
and blue grass vim when the recent little
unpleasantness broke out among ourselves,
he espoused the Union side of the issue
and commanded brigade of cavalry during
the last years of the war. A few evenings
ago General Pennebaker was recounting
some of his exploits during the time he
commanded brigade. He was describing
in graphic language the many privations he
and his command suffered, among which
was his experience while in camp on Green
River, Kentucky. General Pennebaker
said that while he was camped on Green
River his rations gave out and he was
without anything to eat for about week.
The river was literally covered with
canvas-back ducks, but he would not let
his men shoot, fearing the d-d rebels But
hunger finally overcame his fears and those
OF his men, and one morning, Just at the
break of day, he formed one regiment of his
brigade on the banks Of the river and or
dered them to fire on the ducks by plat
toons as they rose from the water. The
result was one regiment of men killed over
10000 ducks in less than twenty minutes.
Colonel Dick Wintersmith, who had been
an attentive, but an unobserved, listener
during General Pennebaker's story, spoke
up and said:
Charley, did you say your men killed
10000 ducks?"
eyes, sir" replied Pennebaker somewhat
abashed at the appearance of Colonel Dick,
for he was aware that Dick knew more
about Green River than any man living,
II said 10000"
"And you say they were canvas-b -backs?"
"Yes, sir, said canvas-backs."
"Well, Pennebaker, allow me TO say,
with all due respect to your age and po-
sition, that / am inclined to doubt your

WEST WASHINGTON.

Two spicy and exhuberant characters occu-
pied quarters at the West Washington FREQ
hosiery this morning-A. Routenbeck, a crazy
German, and Lizzie Jackson, claiming to hail
from the Navy Yard, where she said her hus-
band occupied lucrative Government posi-
ton. Koutenbeck recently moved to West
Washington and opened shoe shop ut 5000
NJ street. 1t soon became apparent
that he was crazy. He annoyed his neighoors
with his religious fervor frequently they
were disturbed at night by his loud lamenta-
tions, begging the Almighty for mercy and
was made to the police, and this morning, at
IL o'clock, O1lcer Riley went to his shop and
escorted him TO the station, where he con-
tinued to pray and scream for the edilcation
of the police force. Shortly before
Koutenbeck was placed In limbo, Mrs.
jackson was discovered by the
briated condition and also arrested her. The
fair one attracted a large crowd by her forci-
BE verbiage, and long after she was placed IN
security she continued to curse and denounce
the police and everyone who came before her.
She occupied cell near Koutenback,
and the latter construed her boisterous
conversation into an infringement Of
the two continued war Of words with each
other In spite of the utmost efforts OF the by

Koutenbeck was examined by a board of ply
sicians and sent to the Insane Asylum. He has
not been long In America, and as yet can speak
