In a b ar Trap.

The Janitor of the Lime Kiln Club
announced at the last meeting, that
some evil-minded person who had
sought to enter Paradise Hall the even
ing before by wav O the side door, had
put his foot in bear-trap waiting there
for just such an emergency. The jaws
and teeth of the trap were stained with
blood, proving that he fellow had been
considerably astoni he'd in his mad Ca
reer. He had managed to pry open the
Jaws and drag himself away, leaving
nothing behind by which MS identity
could be suspected.
A vote of thanks was given the Janitor
for his vigilance, and the Secretary was
instructed 10 advertise for information
concerning the victim. Ii he will come
forward and state how 1t feels to step
suddenly into a bear trap, the club will
present him with recipe for removing
the marks left by the teeth.

the distilleries were forced to close down
on account OF the water, but they are
not much damaged, unless the material
and machinery inside are hurt. At one
of these quantity of whisky in barrels
bad been stored in the upper story of the
distillery. The water rose above it and
lifted the whisky, which lifted the roof.

Upon the clamorous advocacy of

When the battle line is being form

light laugh, but on the eve of work
the tongue is still, the lip drawn and
the brow and eye stern. Euch sol
der looks once at his next neighbOr
and the JOY of battle is communica-
ted from rank to rank, as shoulder
touches shoulder, and the lungs are
inflated to their full extent for the
utterance of that resonant yell pre-
saying wounds, and death, and victo-

ranks. The independents have
chosen their path and must walk
therein; the republicans who sup

accepted their lot, but the democrat
shows decrease of taxes, debts paid,
a frugal administration and pros
porous state as a reason for his claim
on the renewed confidence of every
interest and all classes. The consti-
tutional convention will give a bet
ter foundation on which to base the
new era which dawns upon us, and
with better laws to direct their eff
forts our party can promise work
still more satisfactory to the people,
the whole people, and the world.

The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres

their hold on our forward-mOying people: they

Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone; and, with it, they are going, too. 1t

CARLISLE.

The south may be behind the age
in many respects; its leaders have
not vet learned to turn like weather
cocks at every change to every
breeze, and we have some bitter
proofs of their lack i'll that species
of practical management now in
vogue, but in one thing they have
demonstrated their superiority to
the whole field, and this alone may
be pleaded in extenuation of many
deeds of violence, often taken as in
cidental to our 'Ecivilization." Car
Isle had, twice, the great prize of the
Kentucky senatorship in his grasp,
and twice he telegraphed an abso-
lutte refusal, because he had prom
Used Blackburn to leave the field alb

ticians who send investigating com
mittees to help us administer justice

diency among public men for zone

who can rule, and dare not lie"
Carlisle on this issue has differentia-
ted his fame from that of all his
peers, and could the south send her
chosen son to the White House,

successor to her illustrious children

AN OUTLET TO THE TREASURY


kilograms from the Mississippi

state of affairs. After one hundred
years of ceaseless attempts to curb
its mighty current, the river is re-
sistless as ever, and it seems we
must prepare ourselves for never
ending succession of bills, some
times to engineers and sometimes to
suffers, We suggest that the gov
eminent send competent surveyors
who shall mark out the lands liable
to overflow, purchase all these, and
present them at once by deeds in fee
simple to their owner, the stream.
Only thus can we stop leak which
will widen till the effects shall be
ruinous. We charge nothing for a
plan so cheap in comparison with
those of others, and 50 certain of
successful result, but we honestly
believe it is the only solution of a
national problem. Congress seems
determined to cast the public funds
into the muddy water until the
present channel is choked and anoth-
er is found, or our treasury is ex-
hausted. We can dispose of any
amount of troublesome surplus III
this way, or we can build a stone
wall on each side the stream from
New Orleans to its mouth, with
flood gates at intervals through
which the flood might be carried of
in reservoirs, each of Thousand
acres prepared for its reception.

THE HALTER CHEATED AGAIN.

On Sunday Mr., John W. GrIen,
from New York, a mechanic in the
Florida Southern shops, was seen
walking deliberately down the new
track of the J. T. & X. w. r. r.
Unsuspicious of danger, the gentle
man was intently engaged in the
operation of taking in just as much
of our superintendent sunshine as
his person could absorb. He gazed,
entranced, over wide sweep of saw
palmetto, past the home of the
Herald, and suffered his eyes to
dwell, charmed, on the group of
children around Mr.. Hibbard's cot
tage. The whole scene was one ca
pable of imparting to the soul an
exquisite melancholy, yet whether
this sadness arose from contact with
various obstacles in his path, or nat
ural regret that he could not crafty
the desire of possession reused by
so fair a prospect, this deponent
saith not.
But in this land of primitive civ
ilizatiOn, danger and death are al
ways present, says the Times Union,
and fate was grinning at our de-
fenseless visitor from behind Merry
days fence. Slowly this fate pur-
sued him in the shape of bob
tailed cur of NANCY aspect, and
when he was still wrapped in his
underlined melancholy, this Nemesis
took him, not by the fore-lock for
he is bald) but by the calf of the
leg. A shake, a howl-another
shake and a growl-then a quick
scamper and all was over. Kind
friends dressed the wounds of our
wandering dreamer, plying maidens
laughed heartily at the wry faces
he made as he limped slowly home
ward-but the criminal ? Where is
he ? Gone glimering to the shades,
we fear, and the community has
taken no steps to have him appre-
hended. He is still at large and his
teeth have not been drawn, so we
know the Times Union will not "see
that Justice is DONE" and for once
our position compels us to take that
Office on ourselves.
