To Prohibit Public Meetings.

LONDON, June 3O.-It has been reported several times recently that Home Secretary Matthews had decided to take steps to pro- hibit public meetings in the parks and par ticularly in Hyde park, and the rumor is again in circulation with some appearance of foundation. In order to create popular sentiment against MT. Matthews alleged intention, which the home secretary will hesitate to antagonize, the Radicals and the workingmen's unions propose to or. ganize parades in various sections of Lon. don every Sunday and march by different routes to Hyde park, where they will hold meetings to agitate the question of the right of public meetings.

SHOT DOWN AND BEATEN
Fatal Results of a Louisiana Race War.
THE BATTLE IN sEwELI's GARDEN

One Negro Shot Dead, Two Wounded and
 Three Others Whipped and Driven from
 Amite, La., by Several Hundred Masked Men-Social Equality Was Displeasing.
 ANTE, La., June 30.-Race troubles ot unusual violence have broken out here, and tor nearly week excitement has been at fever heat. Several days ago a committed of white men waited upon several Cau- easians and remonstrated with them for living upon terms of social equality with the negroes in this vicinity During the conference 8 number of negroes in hiding poured a volley of buckshot into the ranks of the committee. No one was injured, but the members of the committee vowed vengeance upon the negroes who were sus. peoted of participating in the attempted assassination.
 The Negroes Were Arming.
 A day or so later the objectionable white men who had incurred their neighbors' displeasure by treating the negroes as equals advised the negroes to strike for higher pay. Business came to standstill, and alarming reports were circulated that the colored people held frequent night meetings and were procuring arms and ammunition from. many quarters to use against the white people in a race conflict they contemplated bringing about. Recent events established the fact that these re- ports were not groundless, and the white people prepared themselves for the expected emergency.
 A Desperate Negro Wounded.
 Reported threats on the part of the ne- groes against the whites, the firing upon the committee, and the cruel beating of a white child by negro man brought about speedy climax. Several hundred white men armed themselves and went gunning for the negroes who were suspected of con spring against the peace of the commu- nifty. On Sunday morning George How ard, one of the most desperate of the ne groes, was shot just above town by dis guised men and came into town for medi- cal assistance.
 The Battle in the Garden.
 A short time thereafter the thunder of many hoofs was heard, and in an instant every road leading into the town was filled with masked and mounted men. Each rider was armed with rife, and the grim looking band of vigilants rode at head long speed to the house of Thomas Sewell, negro The house was surrounded and the grounds invaded by the masked riders. The wounded negro and several compan- ions were found hiding in the garden, and upon Towards refusing to surrender . desperate conflict ensued.
 Howard was riddled with bullets from . score of rifles and two of his companions, Jake Ransom and Tod Flanders were seri- ously wounded. None of the white men were hurt but horses were shot from under two of the vigilants.
 Whipped and Ordered to Leave.
 Dug Tillis and two other negros were taken to the outskirts of the corporation, whipped, and ordered to leave town. Armed squads were then sent out and cap tured the arms of the suspected colored people. Eighteen or twenty double bar reled guns, two Winchester rifles and. 8 number of pistols were taken. The armed crowd then dispersed.

Negroes Sold Like Slaves,

RALEIGH. N. C., June 30.-William Hill and party of negro 'exodusters,' who left New Hanover county for Arkansas, have just returned. The make affidavit as to their treatment there and their story is a horrible one
 There were 600 in their party and all had been promised good wages. They were virtually sold to labor contractor, who, when he was notified by the poor negroes that they could not work for fifty cents a day, said that was all he would give.
 Guarded by Armed Men.
 He seized all their personal effects Some families were put in horse stables and oth- CTS in old outhouses, while some had to remain on the banks of the river without shelter. All were guarded like criminals and revolvers were drawn on them to force them to terms. They were within twelve miles of Louisiana and were unable to get on the steamer without a pass. They got away and went to another point, where they were halted by men armed and mount ed, who demanded where they were going and by whose authority. The last sale of these people was made in Louisiana by a man named Williams, who sold 600 of them for $5 ,000

How to VnIrlarrY.

Nv grandfather used To tell an amusing
story about an ignorant young couple In hH
parish He had married them, but the mar
riage was failure; they could not get along
at all well together They had vast, unde-
fined ideas OF what a rector could do, and II
entered into their foolish minds that he might
be able to undo their marriage. SO they
asked him If he could not take them into
church again and perform some servics
which would set them free, as they were be-
fore The rector said, mustngly: w ell,
think if you coae to church | could put yor
in the way of becoming unmarried. Also, II
is q curious kind OF business, and instead OF
coming to tire sltar as before you will have
to go into the belfry."
So the unhappy couple readily assented,
and on an appointed time they went into th
church ami the rector marched them into the
belfrv. ''You see t4sese two restles,n he
said; ''the husband will have 70 stand upon
one and the wife UPON the other" Accord
inglv, vita rnuch wonderInent, the husband
stood on trsstie and the wife did the same.
Now each of you take bell rope in your
hand" This was done. Now each Of you
tie the bell rope round your neck and jump

Still Mr.. Delivers friends are hopeful that
before the end of the session they will be able
to classify him as the most eloquent man in
the house. | don't dare mention the name OF
the poorest speaker The hairiest men in the
house are Martin of Texas, famous as "Blow-

not quite SO long, but it grows from the top
of his head, the back of his neck, his chin,

man in public life who wears mustache, chin

the house are Cowles of North Carolina, who
has an unusually large head and no hair at
all, and Mr. Stivers of New York. who has
very little. The latter has probably worn
his hair off with good hard work, for he was
a school teacher, kept a country store, bought

The most extravagant man in the house in
the way of spending money Is Mr.. Belden, of

his case, as Beiden is very rich. The most
economical man is Prank LAWYER. of Illinois.
Lawler smokes two for nickel cigars and
walks a mile to save street car fare. The
most alert man on the floor is Judge Holman,

and l guess the sieepiest is Mr. Burrows, OF

what is going on, because he doesn's care, but

THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT.
| sweet men and sour man, industrious men
and lazy men, fat men and thin men, honest
men and corrupt men, wise men and foolish
men. Quite a number of these statesmen are
notable for stature alone. The tall and the
short of the house are exeuplified in the per-
sons of Col Abner Taylor. of Chicago, and
Yardley, of Pennsylvania. Col Taylor
stands feet inches, as straight as a tele-
graph pole, well formed and symmetrical.
His weight is 100, and an imposing figure is
his, attired, after the manner of statesmen,
in long Prince Albert coat Col. Taylor
has a handsome head that has good deal in
it He is business man who has made
fortune and who at the same time has found
opportunity to serve the state in the legisla-
tlre and play leading part in the politics
of his home city.
Taylor is Senator Farwell's right-hand man,
and he recently married in somewhat roman
tic manner the daughter of his old friend Col.
Babcock. Stewart, OF Texas, is the next
tallest man in the house, and he had first
place till Taylor came along and took it
away from him by a quarter of an inch.
These are the two tallest men that have been
in the house since the late Mr.. Dorsheimer
y
body, even Justice Gray and Justice Miller,
who are very big men. Maj. Ernst, the SUI
perintendent of the White House, and master
of ceremonies there, is feet inches, and
as be stands by the president introducing
people the contrast is almost as great as that
between Taylor and Yardley. The president
looks like a boy beside Ernst.
Yardley is known to his associates as 'Lit-
tie Yardiev," and ne looks up into Col. Tay
lor's face much ordinary man looks into
the top of tree. Yardley is dapper little
fellow and universal favorite. This is one
Of the advantages Of being little. Small men
always make friends easier than big ones,
particularly among tkeir own sex. Barnes,
of Georgia, is the latest man in the house,
while Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama is the thin
nest. Barnes would make about seven Wheel
ers. Barnes is like a small house, and Wheeler
would do for the hitching post standing in
front of it. Oddly enough, the two men
one weighing $50 and the other about 50
DOupds-are warm friends
