Old iniids would be scarce and bard to find. CouM they lie undo to see, How grace and beauty U combined By using Rocky Mountain Tea. J M Klein. More Light. Mr Editor: I nm going to exercise the right of all English speaking races and am going to grumble through the '‘Thunderer.” viz: the public prints at our bosses, the office holders of this town. At an election held not long since the voters of such town placed in the hands of the town council certain powers and rested satisfied that their rights would be protected, and that they coaid sleep in peace. Far from it; in a locality in this town, where there is not enoogh light, a young lady com ing from church, having just left the protection of others, and crossing the street alone to her own home, was ac costed by a negro man, who made an effort to lay his hands on her, evaded him, raced home, and called for the aid of a male relative. Darkness prevented the seizure of the miscreant, who vanished concealed by the darkness, which eveiopes oar streets. Now, Mr Editor, I, as you know well, am not one who rnshee into print on the slightest provocation, aud I conceal my name under a non de plume, in deference to the wishes of the young lady, who doea not desire her name to be handed around in common talk, and it teems to me that as we pay our Intendant a salary, not a usual thing in towns of this size, that he can spend some of his time trying the riff-raff on oar streets for vagrancy. We have two marshals. It is the rarest thing that one is ever •ten beyond the uptown market. 1 would think it foul shame to suppose for an instant, that a respectable and self respecting colored man was guilty of the above offence, but I do suppose that the young colored men, who have no visible means of support, wfio are sustained in iuxnrious idleness by the labors of the colored girls and colored women, may stretch out tbelr hands towards the white girls and white women of our community. Our town has been free from offences of the char acter named, let it remain so. The first step is on the part of our town council, and mt the part of our Intend ant, to enforce the laws on our statute books against all who have no visible means of support, to make light on oar streets, that “thoee who love darkness rather than light” may seek shadow rather than our thoroughfares, to see that the citizen who has trusted in them may not be compelled to protect himaelf, or herself.
