Tha President and the Colored
People.
A Washington correspondent of
the .Vor'.i American says: Colored
representatives of different States
among them Louisiana, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Georgia, Kentucky,
A-Hnsas and Ohio recently ad
tL eosed a letter to John M. Lang
tston, of Washington, saying that they
believed he had assurances of the
pood intentions of President Hayes
toward the colored people, and ask
ing Mr. Langston to state the exact
nsture of suh assurances. Mr.
Langston replies that the President
had given him the most positive as
piirrmres that the purpose of the
Administration was to secure, by
every legitimate means, the protec
tion, promotion and recognition of
the colored people, and he had ap
pointed M. W. Gibbs, colored, of
Arkansas, to an important office in
that State. The President was en
gaged in preparing a circular in which
he directs the various offieeholdei'6
of the general government, among
other things, to observe, in dealing
with persons of color making appli
es. -n for positions under them, the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
cf the Constitution, in their spirit as
well as their letters ; and, continu
ing, said he had directed every post
master and postmistress whom he
had appointed in the south to see to
it that the claims of colored appli
cunts be duly respected, and that
colored persons be appointed to po
sitions in such offices. In referring
to the appointment of the postmis
tress at Louisville, Ky., he said that
he had directed that in organizing
her office she must have the colored
citizenB represented.
Without a Newspaper. An ex
change thin strikes the centre of a sub
ject which should receive attention :
Nothing presents a sadder commen
tary npon the present condition of so
ciety than the large Dumber of families,
bo'.ii in town and country, but more
especially the !.?!r, that subscribe to
r? jiiper of any kind. Hundreds and
thousands of laoiilies are thus growing
up utterly igborant of what is trans
piring in the wei 1 J aroaud them ignor
ant of the mighty events of the day.
But wbo can tell the vast amount of
injury that is being inflicted on tbe
rising generation those who are to
take our place in the busy world at no
distant diy growing up without any
knowledge of present, or any study of
the past, this ignorance, too, being im
bued into them by the sanction of those
wlip h jui 1, and doubtless do, know
better, did they only thiuk of the in
jurious effect of their insane course.

almost everything n its path.
A storm passed over a portion of

gullied.
A Cell In tbe Penitentiary.
Judge Harding, of Luzerne county,
is not an admirer of tbe " national
game," if his feelings are to be judged
from bis language. He took occasion
to express his sentiments on tbe subject
of professional base ball clubs a few
days ago, while on tbe bench in Wilkes
barre. He said tbat in bis view, " to
become a salaried base ball plater was
to enter opon a eareer tbat would event
ually lead, in many eases, to a cell ia
tbe penitentiary."
A Lady Seventy Tear Old Shot
an Instantly Killed by m
Barfrlar.
On Saturday morning, June 2, Mrs.
Elizabeth Reader, seventy years'' old,
was shot in the breast by a burglar
and instantly killed at her home in
Blue Bell, a pre-Revolutionary vil
lage, oii the Wissakickon hills, about
a mile and a half west of Penn Llyn
station, on the North Pennsylvania
Railroad. At the outskirts of the
village is the house of Bamttel Head
er, aged seventy-five years, and his
wife Elizabeth, who, having amassed
considerable riches, retired from ac
tive business pursuits about six or
seven years ago, and had been resid
ing there ever since, with no one else
in their household except a little girl
employed for help.
About three o'clock on the morning
in question Mr. Reader awoke and
went to the window to observe the
weather. When he got in bed again
he heard a noise as if made by some
one crawling on the floor of the room.
Springing out of bed he was firmly
grasped by a man who jumped up
from the floor and whispered loud
the warning : " Don't holloa, or 111
6hoot 1"
The old man now saw that he was
confronted by two burglars. Grap
pling with one of them a souffle en
sued, in which all three participated.
Mr. Reader shouted 'Murder!" where
upon the burglar whom he first
grasped and continued to hold dis
charged a revolver, the bullet enter
ing the walL Then Mr. Reader
seized his gun, which hung by the
bed, and his wife got out to assist
him. He fired and the shot was re
turned by the burglar whom he had
caught. It was this bullet that
caused the death of the old lady.
The robbers then fled, one of them
going through the front window and
getting on the ladder by means of
which they had gained an entrance to
the bed-room, which was in the sec
ond story. With his gun Mr. Read
er pushed the ladder, sending it and
the burglar together to the ground,
which they struck with a heavy thump.
The second burglar ran into another
room, kicked the sash out of a win
dow and jumped through, to the
ground. While feeling his way in
the dark he had put his hand on the
counterpane of the bed in which the
young girl, Katie Dotta, lay asleep,
and smeared it with blood, which
soared through to the sheet. It is
evident from this that he had been
wounded. On the floor of this room
and on the window through which he
jumped were subsequently found
large spots of blood. His cap was
foxind in the room at the same time,
and on the window through which
the first burglar escaped were also
found spots of blood, leading to the
supposition that he was cut by the
glass in breaking it
Mr. Reader was ignorant of his
wife's death until he returned from
the window, when he realized the
tragedy and his great affliction. He
immediately gave the alarm, and 60on
all the neighbors were aroused, and
armed men proceeded to 6cour the
country in pursuit of the murderers.
It is supposed that the burglars
are a white and a colored tramp, who
had been seen prowling about the
neighborhood on the previous even
ing. Their foot-marks were seen on
the ground next morning, and showed
that one of them was barefoot. The
latter was traced as far as Penn Llyn
by his foot-marks in the dusty road
and blood on the fences which he had
crossed. He must have been a tall
man, for some of his strides were
five feet long. The detectives and
police authorities are still searching
for the villains.
Forgot bin Family In his De
sire to Save a Calf.
The Toronto Globe prints the fol
lowing as "a very amusing occur
rence" which happened on board the
Cumberland, on the occasion of her
striking the rock near Bruce Mines :
"Among her passengers was a farmer,
who had with him his wife and fam
ily. In order to be able to stock his
farm in Goshen with a superior class
of animals, he, before starting on his
journey, bought a nrtt-ciass can,
for which he paid $200. When the
6teamer struck the rock the crash
which followed was, to our farmer's
ears, like ' the crash of doom,' and,
forgetful of her whom he had prom
ised to love and protect, and the
'olive branches of the family, he
thought only of that calf,' and grasp
ing two life preservers he ran to the
place where it was tied, and, putting
one of them around the calf, he buck
led the other around himself, and
prepared to fight the waves for the
life of himself and his dear calf, to
tally unmindful of the danger which
threatened his ' old woman and chil
dren.' When the danger was passed,
those who witnessed his anxiety for
the safety of the calf proposed pre
senting him with a pair of life pre
servers for their special service in
case of future mishaps."
Railway mocked by Cater
pillars. A despatch from Ontario, Canada,
nnder date of JuDe 4, says : Tbe trains
on the different railroads were mucb
delayed this morning on account of
caterpillars on the tracks. They are
swarming by millions. Tbe Port Stan
ley railroad found it necessary to shorten
its trains.
Seventy eight of tbe inmates of tbe

Am Effort f WreA m Train
far Planner.
As an express train on the St Louis
and San Francisco Railway, late the
Atlantic and Pacific Railway, reached
a point one and a half mfles west of
Woodend Station,-155 miles from St
Louis, at 9.20 o'clock Sunday night
a week, the engineer saw some 6b
structiotr on the track, and instrant
ly applied the air-brakes, but too late;
for on reaching the spot where the
obstruction was, the engine and bag
gage car left the track and plunged
down an embankment of forty feet
Samuel Richardson, the fireman, and
Dr. E. L. Atkinson who was on the
engine, were instantly killsdV and
Frank Cotton, the engineer, was so
badly injured that he died in two
hours. Conductor Wilson started
for another engine, and on the way
heard a pistol-shot, and a ball passed
through his hat Several other shots
were fired, and passengers say that
they saw five men standing near who
were revealed by their pistols, but no
one was hit Two balls passed
through the baggage-car. On exam
ining the track, it was found that the
fish-bars connecting the rails on both
sides of the track had been unjoin ted,
and the ends of the rails moved so
that the train would run down the
embankment The shots fired and
the men seen leave no doubt that this
was a diabolical scheme to run the
whole train down the bank, rob the
express, and plunder the passengers.
That it was not carried out may be
explained by tbe fact that the night
was intensely dark, that it rained
heavily, and that the train was only
running at a speed of about ten miles
an hour. No clue to the perpetra
tors of the fiendish act has been
found.
A White Woman Deserts II er
Family lor tt Xegio.
Tbe West Chester Republican of tbe
9tb inst., says : A strange case of de
sertion bas occurred at Burcbrunville,
Chester county. A white woman, of
good family and connections, it is said,
recently left ber husband and family of
several children and took np br resi
dence with a negro living near tbat
place. Of eonrso the affair made a
great sensation, and tbe husband was
in treat distress. On Friday nigbt
last be gathered together a party of
friends and went up to the negro's
residence, determined to rescue his
wife and chastise ber black paramour.
But tbe valiant darkies of the neigh
borhood got wicd of the affair,
n1
,
be-1
swarmed to tbe assistance of their
keiged brother like a bive of bees. Tbe
consequence was that a desperate fight,
ensued, io which the white invaders
were completely routed. There is no
accounting for tastes ; but bo
.n. t
woman could leave ber family under
sucb conditions, is beyond compreben
sion.

Catching Grasshoppers.
The ludiauapolis Journal says : "A
simple but ingenious device for tbe de
struction of grasshoppers bas been tried
in Minnesota, with most successful re
sults. A square piece of sheet-iron,
slightly turned up at tbe ends and
flout, with tbe rear elevated several
inches, tbe upper surface covered with
coal tar, is drawn across the field, se
curing at each trip about a bushel of
'hoppers, more or less, which jump on
to take a ride and stick fast in the tar.
The device bas been found so success
ful that it is coming into general use.
A despatch from St. Paul says tbat tbe
supplies of eoal tar and sbeet-iron in
Minnesota having been exhausted, Gov
ernor l'illsbury bas ordered from Chi
cago five car-loads of the tar and five
tons of sheet iron for tbe purpose
named."
