A. Head Exposer thc Ka Kink Klan. CITY HOTEL, (Which is Lu Cr?c?n=f) April ll. I have joined'em. I aa i K. iv. E. feller. I ron the risk of dying some day, (or night,) hut I nm goiug to unbosom myself, and make a pnb lio expose of th j K. K. RVs. Pro bono publico. Once upon a time, when night had spread her sable mantilla o'er the earth, and pinned it with a moon, I went to bed. People often go to bed at night, with the exception of the K. K. K-'s, who never go to bed and who never go to Bleep. ; They have ears, bot see not; they have eyes, bnt hear not, The clock on the cupola of the Crescent office had tolled forth' the hour of 12; the staffed owl in the Orescent. City Museum had gone to roost; the statue of Henry Clay re J posed in silence in a perpendioular posish; the snakes had ceased their crooking, the frogs their biting, the mosque toes had began humming, and "all went merry as a marriage belle"-to her hash! I was sleeping in my couch of couches like a June bug in January, but I did not snore. I never snore. Everybody would do it, I presume, if it was fashionable. But to resume. As I said, it was past midnight, and I was dreaming of my country seat, (a stool with 3 legs,) when I was startled suddenly by a cold, clammy, shrimpy baud upon my forward. I awoke and rose up in bed to discover a figure olothed in white, sitting upon my bed. He (I suppose he was a he) held in his right hand a roman candle burning blue and in his left iv sky-rocket; his eyes wero glaring balls of fire, and ho had 2 horns in his forehead, besides several which he had taken in his mouth. As I awoke he waived the torch three times around his head and beckoned, like Hamlet's ghost, for me to follow him. I arosed from my bed aud followed-entirely in white! He led me through wind? ing streets, up dark alloys, and finally brought me to the grave? yard. All this time he had never taken his eyes of fire off me. Arrived in the centre of the grave-yard, be? side an unburied skeleton between two thorn bushes, he shot off his rocket, and glaring upon me said: "Mortuary mortal, I come from the bloody den of tho bob-tailed scorpions. I am the 'chiefest among 10,000, and the 1 altogether lovely.' You seo here before you tho spectre of the Great Tribe of the Demoniac Deathly Dragons. I am sent to warn, to defy, to drag you to danger. 3ice the scorpion's tongue has hissed: 3ico. tho dirge of death is done; 3ice the bloody gravo has gaped! Be? hold!" I looked, and saw in letters ol blood upon tho skeleton before me, and surrounded by letters of fire B6X" i AM DEAD, "?a (Blustrated by coffins and daggers.' I gazed in horror, and exclaimed in per trifled accent, "I believe ye my boy!" and fainted. When I recovered myself, (and m] wallet,) I found that I was transport ed to a subterranean dungeon beneatl lerra firma. ? It had all the appear ance of a placo that was worse thai The Place itself! There were bim lights, blue fellers and blue flames. Even "tho lights bumed blue.' The 4going parugraph states that Any paragraph goiug might state th same thing. Brightly tho "taller-dip" candle "shone o'er (through) faro womei and bravo men!" When I had been taken inside thi dungeon, I felt that 1 was done! was introduced to a hard crowd i hard times. They formed aroun me (the crowd, and not the times, and in a deep, sepulchral tone thu shook tho enve, said: "Whence comes this mortual mortual, and is he trooly rural?" My conductor answered for rn< and said in tones of thunder (au lightning:) "He cun keep a hotel; he can sin like a martingale, swim like a auge gamble on the green, aud is loil I the corps!" "Let him puss," said tho tycooi who thought I hadn't a "full hand. I passed, and found myself in tl inner chamber, where I saw nothic but thunder, the yella of demons au the rattling of chains; I heard ni thing but lightning, tho flash of gui powder and the last ditch, and dreamed the dreams of the d(ui reary! A mangled corse stood upon pyramid of skulls, and holding in h right hand a coffin and in his left hand (pristine man) a coughin' two he exclaimed: "Mortal--I am the Bloody Butcher of the Bogus Blunderers of Babylon. Swear to keep our sec rots, or UTO." As I didn't caro to dye, I swore. Then I was 'tetotally surrounded by demons as looked Uko devils, not ono of whom bought their shirts as Moody's, who shrieked: "He swears by the fiery flagon found in ferocious furnaces furnish? ed by fellers from Feliciana that he does not, never did, and never will again, so help him Felis!" I was then stabbed by a small sword Which was held in the hands of every demon in pantolets around me, then drugged, boiled in a cal? dron, set upon a hot grid-iron, slid down a gang plank, walked over cakes of ice, mutilated in the hair of my head, and finally t atoo ed and scalped! I was dragged through tubular boilers to the tune of the Rogue's March, stripped to the suit of clothes in which I was born, powdered to attorns, and told that I had a mission to perform to all outside barbarians which it was to annihilate every liv? ing thing, and to kill every decade member of society. I aot-seded. "Do you awear?" "I swear." I was then clothed with habili? ments of woe, thrust into a den of worms with only 1 bottle of Mrs. Winslow's Bootldng syrup, and told to await the action of the impeach? ment committee.
