CI'NcINNATI, Oct. 22.-A desperate encounter took place last Saturday evening at Big Cli fty, Kentucky, near Louliville, between two hIgh waymen and Joseph ilansen, a traveling sades. man for Pratt & Co., Louisville. Han. gen stai'ted to walk from West Clifty to Big Clifty to catch a train, and was met upon the bridge which spans a obasm 146 feet in depth, by 'two des pergte characters who demand money. Uansen drew a revolver and shot one of' them, when the other rushed upon him and attemnpted to throw him over the bridge, but Hansen drew a butch'. or knife from his packages of samp li,) *nd etaSbbfrtb4 tobber, and iue. 9(ge,g (bgye him. down the chasm, and then he escaped to Big Clifty. The rooLers were arrested but not recogunized by the people of the place, The one who~ was thrown over,tes Norite. was sawed from in stadt death by falling in the rIver.

And while ett %as spenkmtig tn minivd intuitively wanidei ed back to the days of Rad1 e:1 rie in South (Jarolina, and was S 11madt to contrat oun present happy ic b-ate with the distracted condition of 0 111r whole people. Then followed natirlly tle inquiry, how was this Y oeteat change for the.omimon good of b tur peoplebro,ught abouti Aid to a whom do we owe an immeasurable ti ebt of gratitude for its accomlplish, b Imlenti i feel that we are indebted to Y be present Governor of South Caro.- 0 ina for tle aclievemeit of this it irand victiory. And when I publisi b Io the world that my heart is filled fi o0 ove flowing with thanks and grat 8 udo to him for tihe redeuption ol in o r old iother State from Inadical 1 nioi nile, aid hit; apparent sncces to- a Lards fle complete pacification of y Ale Ntrth and Senth, I feel that I ' 'emnlire nothing. inn saying that I ut- t er not only the true bentiment of ' ilsin meeting, bult. the whole petile of d he State of South aroiina. By his C ,reat % iidon, Statesmans1hip and iberal c-urse, it haw been torever lul -ettled as a tact that the humbist .itizen of this State, whether lie be b white or colored, Democrat or Re- b .ublican, stanids nnpou an equality c w'ithn every other citizen before the ti law. Tine dehmonstration of this fac.i h knas won uon the Prnesidenat of this in great Republic, and caused him to 0 pursune a wise. anid connciliary counse ~ nibichn will n estore, ultimately, abso.. a late pacne and good will throughout he whole Unnion, the accomplisni- M ninent of which we have so loin .a de P dired avnd prayed for. All honor is P laue our Governor, wino has done so a mnnuch towards silving the vexed d problem of full and complete pacifi, t. u'atioin of thne country, Bunt, wmy fel- fi low citizeins, in responading to your g ca I it was my purpose ini the train to a aduress the colored people who have e Lurned out in such large numbers no a bear his excellency. My colored 8 1ellow-citizen.s, you will remember hi that during the campaign of 1876 I e advised anid urged upon you the ne- g eessity vf suappurtinig the Democratic ti party; that the Republican party was B notoriously corrupt; that it had pled,, ti god iteelt to reform on several vcca ii nions, and had wholly failed to kee p jJ its4 pledges; that it had proved a i gr and failure, except for robbery and o plunden; and that it was heigh timle ni ton 30ou to link your fortunes with I your old masters, and help them t el. vate tine nominnees of the Demos cratic party to power. And that, in doing so, you had unothing to fear; ~ tilat not 0 e jot or tittle of your con, swt mtional rights would be inefere A .nilb; avid that, upon the snccess of tine Demnocratic party, tine old State~ ufSullh Caroliwna wounld soon be b aain placed upon thne road to pros- f perity, avid that peace anid good will would reign in all her borders. Mlany of youn, my clored fr senids, gave heed a to wiy advice, and with we sup lported il the niominees of line Democn atic p)arty n and whey wore elected by your help. lI And to-night, amy bOOl red frienids ~ I think you are satisfied with the o resnlt- and that yon will do me the r istico to say that my advice was ,Ise right and judicious. Every ledge which Governor Iampton iade during that campaign, or which made to you for him, lie has fully )deemed, and the happy result to. ight is that peace, good order and -sternal feeling -exist among our bole people. Then, my colored -iends, basing our future hopes upon is past, we may take fresh courage od trust the honest men of our old other State to work out her full re emption from Radical wrongs, and store to her that proud position ,hich she once occupied in the gal ry of the State of our republic. The Judge was frequently inter.. ipted with applause. Then and Now. In adjourning the South Carolina enate, session of 1870, the then Pres lent, C. W. Montgomery, amoirg ther things Paid: "Be assured that you cirry with Ltu to the inne, imost circle of your ome endeat meits my bekt wishes, Dconpanied with 1he t prayer that I ie choicest blessings of heaven may e richly siowered ip(,n you and ours, and that your future may be r)e of peace, happiness and prosper y in the attainment of 'noble ends y noble means,' solaced by those re ectioins so grateful to the honest gent, tbe good citizen, the upright Nan, and which none other can have r enjoy. The account tf the Stew- S rd6hip which you must renider to our constituenits ill your CApncity - f preseitatives, I trust, 111ay mort ian meet their hearty approva'; aid I may be permitted to anticipate ieir verdict in p)assing upon your mnrse and conduct in this phico, it -ill, I trust, be in this wise to each f you: 'Good and jist ate war d, thou a-t not abused the confidence we ave reposed in thee; thou hst not etrayed the high truzts we have imitted to thy lands. Well done wou good arid fauithuful servanm; thou ast thy reward, purer, higher and obler than arny gills or emoumnents r honors when stained by corup on can beet 'w, in a b: ight, clear ud unimpeachable record." In view of the subsequent events, 'e have thought the above might rove interesting reading to e imae cople. The man who delivered tis ddress to that body of public plun erers is at present in Rich land coun r jail, awaiting trial for signing -audulent pay certificates, and the ang of thieves lie then addressed re under indictment to answer eith r simuilar or worse ofienses. Somem re in exile, arnd some still in the ate, shaking in their boots, living in ourly dread of arrent, as they are onscious of their guilt. None were ood; no, not one. As we can over ae offenses of these men, the ruin nad desolation they brought upon te State, and the cup of poverty and uisery they offered to the lips of eople whose shoe's latchiet they were ot worthy to unclose, we feal for rice like quoting Mr. Grant-"Let o guilty man ecape)."-Columbia tegister. The Republican papers want Bllack, urn, of Kentucky, investigated be utuse he is reported in a speech doe vered in Obuo during the recent atmpaign, to have expressed the hope aat God would not permit Senator forton to return to his seat in the unate. That was savage in Black, urn, hut, Lord, how religious the ladicals have become all of a sudden?

Saved by Lightaing. 'It looks like a shower, don't it, Etenbent' said a young, fair-looking natron, standing in the doorway of i cabin just as the sun was drooping )ehind the tree trope to the west, in me of the frontier settlen.ents of dinnesota. A 3 oung man, hardy and strong, vas coining up from the 'clearing' lown by the river, with the ax he lad been wielding all through the lay t brown over his shoulders. These vords from his wife saluted his ears ae he camo near, and caused him to urn his head and glanceaway to the outhward, where a great bank of able clouds was piled high against he evening sky. 'Yes, Ruth, it does look like it,' he nswered. 'I thonght I heard it he-nder just before I left work.' 'It looks as though it would be a ieavy one,' she said, a little ap >elhensively, for to tell the truth, he was a little cowardly in this re pect. To this her husband made no re >ly, but playfully pushing her aside rom the doorway, he entered the abin, and at onco took down his iflo from the books where it was allgimg. 'What have you seen to shoot, Zeubeiif' she said. 'Don't go out ain to ight, for supper is waiting ow.' 'I am not going,' lie answered nietly. 'I am only making sure hat my rifle is in good order-but till I mnav have occasion to use it be ore inorning.. The yor.ng wife turned pale. 'You don't ican to say that the iavages are lere again?' she asked. 'You may as well know the truth it once, Ruth,' said her husbaid, ouking her fil iii the face. '4TIhcre re redskins hangih g about here, Aid I'm afraid they mean us inis hief I've seen no less than three tone titmlo withinl all bour, skulking long ini the edge of the wood. Their notions tell me that we had better e on our guar d to sight-wer e thiey iendly they would have comeI openl y to mec or to the cabin.' 'Oh, Reuben! w hat shall we do?' ~nd her' eyes sought the bed, where nn rsy cheeked boy of some two sumn nters was lyisig fast asleep. 'We Lmst do time best we can. ['he cabin is stout and strong, and I 1->ubt about their being able to break mu should they try it. But you must nave a lot ot courage, IRuth. May be t won't be needed, and I hope it Non)'t. Now let us make sure that ,be cabin is all tight, anid then we &'ill have that supper which you say s waiting.' Hle spoke cheerfully, but could tot dispel the fears that filled her ieart, and made her face as patle as leath. The heavy oaIken .Ihuttere of the wo smtall windows were put~ in place iud made secure there, and then the loor was closed and barred, and a ar'ge stick of timber that was kept 0o' that purpose was p)laced against t. Winena the prej:arations had beeni ~opleted Rouabun annotnnoed that me was ready for his supper. This was soon placed upon the table, and t mnst be confessed that the danger A'hicht hovered over them did not in he least diminish his appetite. But Ruth could hardly swallow a mouth ul, and she wondered how it was har her husband could. She was hinking only of the da.nger that mne aced them, and, listening for the dmghteet sound that camne frm with. itit. The dam knees increased, and the mound of distanut thunder broke ipona their ears. Thromugh a ehunk u the shutter they satw that theo mlh ud in the south wuis fast risuing imd sp eading i seif over tb b eav inns, hasteimng on) the fast coming larknmess 'We shall get a good shower,' said Bonbon. 'I hope so,' answered his wife. -If there is it may keep the favages under cover of the forest to night.' 'Hark!' said Reuben; 'what was thatt Both were silent, and holding their breath to listen. In a moment the sound was repeated. It was a fooetep without. Ruth trembled with apprehension. Then another and another was beard. The reskins were about the cabin. 'They have come,' cried Ruth, in a low tone. 'Yes, said Reuben. 'Harki -et us see what they mean to do.' A miunte later, and the door was shaken violently Then a - savage without exclaimed, in broken Eng lish: 'White man open door. Iijins want to come in.' To this appeal Reuben made no answer. - He had no idea of granting the reqest, and words he knew would do no good. Again the de mand was made. But, as before, no answer was returned. Then there came a few moments of silence on their part. The mutteritgt of the thunder were nearer and deeper. The tempest was fast cowing. Sud denly there came so fearful a blow upon the door that it made the en tire cabin tremble, while Ruth gav( utterance to a shrill cry of alarm. 'Courage,' said her husband; the3 are trying to batter the door down but I hardly think they can do it. They can not so long as the prol holds as well as it does now.' 'It is not for myself I fear,' *h said. 'It i3 for my dear child, leu. ben.' 'We will do our best to save him and our own lives,' le answered. Even though the door give way with my rifle I can do much to eavc us.) Once more a terrible blow was dealt upon the door, at the sume mno, ment a vivid flash of lightning, tel1 lowed by a p)eal of thunder that 'seemed to shake the solid earth. 8u tremendous was the blow the sav ages dealt that the prop against the door gave way, and full from its place, and the door itself trembled as though it was coming downt. The heart of Reuben sanak within .hi breast. Another such a blowv must place them at the mercy of the eav ages. Only his rifle would stand between them and death. But ai this moment Providence interposec its hand. As though the peal o: thunder had been a signal for the tempest to commence, the raini came down in torrents. Not knowing thu execution their last blow had done the savages hesitated as the etorn broke upon them. A little way from the cabin stood a large oak that the settlers had spared for its beauty and gra'eful shade. To the shelter of this thec eav ages fled, to wait until the temn pest wats over. Th'bus our' friends had a respite for a time. Hlastily Ren ben replaced the prop, aind did his best to make the door secure agaim. Ten minutes paesed, and the raiti came dowun as .though there was e second deluge upon the earth. I1< heard nothing of the savages, bul he though he knew where they were and that the attack would be re ntewed as soon as the rain had clear ed tip. Suddenly there came a vived. flash of lightnaing, followed by a report that semed to shake the earth at though it was a leaf suspended ii mid air. For a long time they sal half dazed and stunned by thme report and wheat at last they were them-a eel..esagain the raitn had ceased. A bright light shone without, and Ren, beta nen mote gazed thrugh.. crevice to see what it meant. The oak was riven into a thousand fragments, and its trunk was on fire. Scattered among the debries lhy the mangled forms of the savages. The same blow that had- blasted the oak had deprived them all of life. In after day s Reuben and Rutd told their grand children how it was that they were saved by ligh-tung. A Problem Solved. Probably one-of the greatest prob. lems of this age is the auule. Al though volumes have been written on the mule, yet the accident statis. tics show that lie is as little under stood as ever. How to mix kind ness and firmness in the proper pros portions and then apply the concoc tion successfully to an energetic mule is one of "those things no fellow can find out." The mule is deceitful and desperately wicked. It knows no north, no south, no west, no east, int the rigid impartiality with which it bestows its favors. In trying to solve the mule problem many very wise men have been biffled, and likewise knocked into a demoralized heap in the opposite corner of the stable from which the mule stood. A nd yet how strange it is that after all these years of ineffectual research the true solution of this vexed ques tion should be discovered by a small boy. This little fellow lives in Rich. mond, Virginia, and while playing near a mule was, by tmeans of that animal's method of rapid tranit, suddenly landed in a neighboring field. When he recovered from the emotion caused by ro unexpected an event, lie managed io insinuate him. selt into the mule's affections, taking care, however, always to keep at the correct end of the mule. Finally the innocent and unsuspicious quadriped was firmly tied to a tree, under whose shades were several hives of bees. The mule breught disa.str upon hin self by kicking over a hive jtist by way of recreatio,n. The combat that ensued was dreadful to behold. The boy is not quite certain whether the bees or the mule won the victory. Hie thinks it was the mule, because when tho wner came after the body, there was not a vestige of the hives to be seen-, and the bees had all dis appeared, while the remains of the mule still occupied the battle field.

The clam wears a rough exterior, but he0 is a merry and social gentle maun at heart. So are many whom the world conisideus harsh and unucon genial. The wife may learn a lesson from the clam. It keeps its house8 in or der, and uever strolls about to the neglect of duty. Gossips may learn a lesson from the clam. It never opens its moutht at the wrong time, and keeps its so cret while life lasts. Science says thuat it took millions of years to en volve man from the claw; observa tionl shiows that it takes less than a minute to transfer the clam into then man. Business men may learn a lestroui from the clam. It has no smile dus ring buusiniess hours, but wh:en it feels the wvarmnth of society, it opens its very hieart, and gives itself up to increase the jollity of the hour. TnuE DARLINOTON DE~MOcrATs.
