Kelly having returned to Wash? ington, from a prolonged tour through the South, deolares that he has lost all faith in' the stories of Ku Klnx and Southern outrages, having personally proved them to be tho myths of mere partisan malevolence. When a republi? can of snoh eminenoc as Judge Kelly gives testimony snoh as this, it would I seem as if it were time indeed for Mr. | Williams to retire to his native wilds of l^regon, and for the supenservioeablc or? gans of the carpet-baggeis to learn new tunes to stir vindictive feeling*; against the South. It would also appear to be time to withdraw our army from those places where it is not wanted, and to Bend it to tho Texas frontier, where it is wanted very much. As a new crop of Southern outrages will be required next fall, it will be just as well for the North to remember the testimony of Judge Kellv.

The Anderson Intelligencer says: Two constables passed through town a few days ago, en route for Abbeville, with a colored prisoner, who had committed a heinous crime in that County some time ago. He was captured in Picken?. A negro woman by the name of Milly Oglesby, was killed not long since, by falling from a trestle fifty feet high, on the Air Line Railroad, in Oconee County.

"Met a Fbllow."?There is a being., who has cauBed more trouble to WtinsfcBf' kind than any other. It in the ?'fellow* who ia always being "met," and thereby keeps anxious females on the watch at windows at most unholy hours. How many years of her life does a woman, spend looking out of the window for I men who are overdue? I have not lived j half of my three-seore-aiid-ten years yet, and I am sure I have wasted time enough i in the fruitless operation to have made myself mistress of all the hieroglyphics j ever discovered. One thing only have I learned, that man, like tho peasant wo-1 man's "watched pot that never boils," j never comes when he is looked for; and j that hasn't done me any good, for. still, whenever I have occasion, 1 invite the influenza by sitting in a strong draught with my eyes fixed on the farthest point !>ossible, with visions of hospital anibu ances and woful telegrams before my eyes, when anyone, from my grandfather to my little nephew dosen't "arrive him? self" in proper time. All women do it. and many thanks they get for their anx? iety. You may cry your eyes weak and your nose red, go through all the agonies of hope deterred, become angry, get over your anger to plunge into the depths of woe, make sure that you are bereaved of your best-beloved relative, and wait in calm despair to know th" worst, and when he comes be he bro? ther, husband, son, gmnd-fathcror uncle, perchance a lover?no hasn't the slightest idea of your sufferings, and inquires: "Well, Polly, what's the matter'.' You look solemn." Solemn! Well, you know enough not to tlmg yourself into his arms and cry, "The sea has given up it dead!" or anything of that sort. Von say "Ah!" in an offended tone, or an un? naturally calm one. and perhaps remark that "dinner was burnt to a crisp four hours ago." or that you "have sat with your bonnet on from seven until nine," and wait for some explanation. It is sometimes vouchsafed, and then gene? rally proves to be -"Met a fellow." Yes. meeting "a fellow" is reason enough for any amount of staying out. Who is "a fellow," I wonder, that he should out? weigh wife, mother and sweetheart, ?laughter, niece and aunt? Why should "a fellow" have such influence? No one ever sees "a follow." or bears his whole name. He is never produced. Ask after him, and you hear he is not the sort of fellow to be introduced. He is never brought home. Apparently, he is not good enough: but he is important enough to upset a household, to keep meals wait? ing, to keep people c.p until midnight - to have met him is ample excuse for any? thing forgetful or neglectful. MARY KYLE DALLAS. A Misistek's Will.?The recent death of the Rev. John S. Clarke, an aged Episcopal minister of Ashland, New York, has resulted in some rather curious developments. A few years ago he was detailed as a missionary to supply a want long felt in a thinly populated part of the Catskill Mountains, of which the village of Ashiand is the centre. He bore the outward evidence of extreme poverty, and had for his support only the $250 annually paid him by the Board of Missions. He was an excellent preacher, and that he had scholarly at? tainments was self-evident: and it was ascertained that he was a Canadian; n graduate of St John's College, Halifax, and that his father was once Chief Jus? tice of Nova Scotia. At length the pastor, who had endeared himself to his tlock. was prostrated by sickness, and last week ho died. As he had made no provision for his burial, it was apparent that unless a subscription was raised the body of the faithful old minister must till *n pauper's grave, lint, in small sums, money enough was subscribed to provide against this, though it was, after ull, little better than a pauper's funeral. On the following day his effects were gathered up, and in an old trunk was found "the last will and testament of John S. Clarke." To the examiners' astonishment the seemingly indigent pastor had bequeathed a large fortune. He bft generous allowances to various public and charitable institutions, and also provided for a number of his rela? tives. The amazement of the examiners reached the point of bewilderment when on opening the last package they found bonds and certificats representing an aggregate of $04,539. There was also a letter showing that a bond for $5.000 had been sent to New York to be negotiated, and a bank book showed a deposit in New York. So his relatives will come in for the lion's share of nil inheritance of over $100,000 in the effects of a man who has for years been an object of charity in the Catskill Mountain?. Some Spccessfol Literaiiy Pkofijs. Clemens, the humorist, better known as Mark Twain, has done hotter than any man of his turn oi labor. He has been seven years before the public, und dur? ing that time he has %eeome rich enough to live on his income. His property in Hartford is worth more than $S0,000. Mrs. Stowe has made more than any other American woman, and has proba? bly cleared $100.000. This may seem like a large sum. but when it is spread through a quarter of a century, it is not such an immense thing as it at first ap? pears to be. Marion Harlan, (Mrs. Ter? mine,) who has written industriously for twenty years, has probably made $15,000 by a dozen novels. Perhaps Mary J. Holmes has done equally well. Gail Hamilton (Miss Dodge) enjoyed a good sale for her books during the first few years, but her vanity got the better of her judgment, and she quarreled with her publishers. Her next book was de? voted to the quarrel, and it at once im? paired her popularity. Sho now has a corner in Harper's papers, and also in the Independent, but will never do much in books again. Her impudence toward the venerable John Totld, who differed with her in opinion, shows how the van i ty arising from success spoils real talent. Wal worth, who was snot by his son, never made much out of his hooks, and they were, in fact, too inferior to Bell without extraordinary puffery. Josh Billings (Shaw) has found unusual po? pularity. Ho is witty and says many wise as well as funny things, it seems a pity that such a clever fellow should bo obliged to borrow the jokes of poor Artemus Ward and print them as origi? nal ; but such is one of the weaknesses of funny fellows.?Troy Times. j A baby in Milwaukee, Wis., has been , christened "Zero," in honor of tbe cold Sunday upon which be was born. . TUT. ( JoXISii CONVKNTIOrt OF TUB SOUTH j?rBi^nyr>i.--Rov. Dr. J. P. Boyee, nf this cfty. I.-ft for Charleston, S. C. this morning at 1 o'clock, to attend tue General Southern Convention, of which he in President, and which will meet 'in that city on Thursday. May Ii. The fol? lowing States will ho represented: Mary? land, Virginia. North ami South Carolins, Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, , Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas. Tennesfe"', Missouri and Kentucky. 13,000churches will be thus represented, which number a constituency of 1,100,000. This convention is merely a missionary j body, having no legislative power over the.-><- churches, and only conducts the missionary operations thereof. Their, constituents are represented upon the basis of one delegate for each $10U paid each year into the convention. The management of foreign as well as do-1 inestic missions will engage the attention of the convention. That in China is re? ported in a nourishing condition, while in Africa it is being worked up mainly through the native preachers, under the supervision of a white appointee of the convention. This, though not so flour? ishing as the mission in China, giver, promise, nevertheless, of a fair degree of success. The cause in Italy, and especially that portion of it relating to I the city of Rome, is reported to be in good condition, under the management mainly of native Italians, who are su? perintended by Rev. Dr. Geo. B. Taylor, of Virginia. This convention of Southern Baptists I is ever in active co-operation with that | of th ? Northern brethren in the educa? tion of colored men for the ministry in the ."southern States. Dr. Boyce will go by the way of Greenville, S. C. to attend the commencement of the Southern I Baptist Theological Seminary at that place, the removal of which institution to Louisville is now under advisement. [ Louisville i 'ourier-tlournal.
