his favorite horse making strange noises, kicking

a veterinary surgeon in Bushwick avenue, who at
once pronounced 1t a case OF rabies. A dog had
been kept in the stable, but he showed no signs OF
Illness no wound was found on the horse, and the
only way In which hts maiady could be explained
was that Mr.. Lake had allowed his horses to craze
in field near the stable where he might have
been bitten by some strange rabid dog. An eforc
to drink water brought on an excess OF the symp-

uttered sounds somewhat resembling the yelp OF a

MEMPHIS. Dec. 9.-The presidents of the
various colored societies of this city have
organized society called the knights
Brotherhood and Monumental Association.
the objects of which are set forth in a lengthy
address to the colored people published
this morning. which is 20 discard all
old political ties and cultivate and
maintain permanent peac9 with the white
people of the South in accordance with
the dying words of Thomas Swan, late pres
ident of the pail bearers. Ia their preamble
and resolutions they say:


1--WE are fully aroused TO a consciousness
that we have been for years the dupes OF
crafty, designing and unprincipled men
whose only object was their own personal ao-
grandiZement irrespective of the means or
results, to our injury. They have shorn us
OF our pecuniary accumulstions, the result
of weary years of toll, even to pennies ac-
cumulsted by our youth and little fiedglings.
All this we could bear, but they have left us
despised by our only true friends
through their knavish representa-
tions and unmitigated falsehoods.
Our experience in this direction, for which
we have amply paid, Invites a change on our





ages of Almighty God, in whose goodness,
mercy and wisdom we trust for our future
guidance,


Resolved, That, embracing the honest.
truthful advice of our late friend, Thomas
Swan, we now and forever shake off those
unwarranted fears that have been created,
aud have preyed as bugaboo upon the
minds of our simple people. We are
1t least convinced that they were the
fiction of political incendisries who have
sacrificed us and led us into ouI
present trouble, and we now pledge
ourselves as representatives of our societies
henceforth TO sever all affinity and past re-
lations with all men whose only value re-
suited in plunder and strife. We regret the
blindness OF the past that has alienated the
kind feeling of our true friends, and in our
effort to improve the future we pledge our
faith mutually to each other and TO whom it
may concern that hereafter we will sustain
no mau for Office unless he be Thoroughly
identified with the people of the soil and
in full accord with our earnest desire to cul-
tivate peace, harmony and industrial value
among the races now sequestered by vile and
heinous teachings"

NEW York, Oct. 10.-Thc trustees
of the Peabody educational fund held
their annual meeting at the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel few days ago. The eighth
report of the general agent was read
giving the business of the past year
in detail, and shows favorable result.


Hon. William M Evarts read report
of the committee appointed on the
subject of education. The report con-
sidcred the prospects and hopes of the
public system of education at the South
will receive serious if not a fatal blow
from any legislation which should
make such system maintainahle only
on the scheme of mixed schools, and
that while justice and public duty in
the interests of both the white and col
orcd people of the South concur in de
manding system of public education
which should give equal opportunities
yet no such IA result would be attained
by legislation of such a character in
dicated.

There is no event in Western history,
the st. Louis Republican thinks, that is re-
membered with a more undying fondness
than a tragic affair that occurred on the
Missouri river, opposite the town OF Wav-
erly, about fifteen years ago. This was the
sinking of a gallant steamboat, with cargo
of 800 barrels OF whiskey. Tho dwellers
on the banks of the river have never for
gotten it-and they never will. They re-
member it as freshly as If it had happened
only last week. They know the very spot
where the gallant steamboat went down,
and though their eyes have never bee
gladdened with the sight of a barrel, or a
hoop of a barrel involved In the catastrophe,
they comfort themselves with the perennial
faith, which no amount of skeptical hydro
graphic reasoning can shake, that that
blessed liquor is "thar" yet, and it will be
recovered somo day. Each passing year
only adds another touch of mellowness TO
the submerged nectar, and another degree
to the fondness with which the disaster is
remembered. Whenthis 800 barrels of rec
tifed went into store IL was worth only
about seventeen and half cents a gallon /;
now il is worth, internal revenue tax in
cluded well, there is no telling how much
1t is worth. Three times have attempts
been made to get at the sGb-huyial treasure,
and three times have the divers, watchers,
and workers, after getting down almost to
it, been forced to abandon the search with
out getting 1t. Every annual subsistence
of the river Is watched and learnedly spec
ulated on, for its bearing on the question of
recovery, an6 what these watchers and
workers don't know about the dy-
namcs OF rivers isn't worth knowing

they were wanting in the element Of re-

following paragraph in his address to

"You have cowardly husbands, or they

You have enough to do to take care Of
your families, and the husband who lets
you go out TO fight battle is q coward;
a man without principle, man who Is
not man, but peTeon who ought to
wear skirt instead OF breeches."


Properly translated the import of this
language is as follows: "You have not
enough womanlY sense OF propriety Of
your own to keep you from coming to
such place IS my saloon. You are the
dupea Of your coWardly husbands, by
whose wish or connivance no doubt you
are hero. They have the will to do the
work in which you are engaged, but be-
ing towards, they are afraid 10 come here,
and SO send yeu as their tools. II your
husbands were real msn-men Of "prin-
