Jiorthern Emigrant Agents.
This is a free country, and a man
ought to have a right to do as he pleases
so long as he pleases to do right. But
w seriously object to northern agents
corning among many of our ignorant
people and enticing them to "emigrate,"
simply so as to sell them a ticket. We
are informed that one of these agents
had his pocket full of tickets drumming
about High Point, and the result was
that he got up twelve of the country
people to take the cars, buying their
tickets first to Richmond and then to
Washington city, before they could get
to the cheap side of the roads that he
represented. This is a strong induce
ment to many of our country people,
who "want a ride anyway," particularly
the young men, and they ' go West"
like they would start to a quilting, and
after awhile get back to their homes, if
they don't die out there, as best they
can, with their thumbs in their mouths.
Will our Legislature have an eye to this
little matter?

Squire t-ee and the Robeson
Outlaw Hunters.
James Wilson who took the scalp of
Andrew Strong, the Robeson outlaw,
started out the other day into South
Carolina, looking for the hair of Steve
Lowery, and one John Lockyear, who
had had a fight some time ago in Robe
son county, was indicted for assault and
battery and escaped into South Caro
lina. Now, the sheriff of Robeson
county never thought anything wrong,
so he started out with Wilson and Mc
Clammy, and one Floyd Oxendine,
looking for the outlaw and the man that
hadthe fight. They found Lockyear in
a house in Marion county, South Car
olina, frequented by Steve Lowery, and
on demanding admission Lockyear ex
plained by pulling trigger and insert
ing a rich lead mine into the neck, breast
and hands of Floyd Oxendine, and then
esoaped. But he was overtaken and
arrested by Wilson and party, and
while bringing him off a South Caro
lina sheriff who did the collar grab
bing for Marion county stepped up and
arrested the North Carolina sheriff with
Wilson and the other man, and took
them before Squire Lee of that county.
The squire put his specs on and ordered
the unconditional discharge of their
prisoner Lockyear, and required Wilson
and party to count out six hundred and
sixteen dollars and ninety cents before
they could turn their noses back to this
State. It seems that the sheriff of Robe
son acted on the idea that there was an
agreement between the Governor of
South Carolina and the Governor of this
State authorizing officers to cross the
lines and make arrests in either State.
No such agreement of course exists.
But they can be arrested and - detained
until a requisition from the Governor of
the offender's State be obtained.

LiAWSON .borney, colored, in

upon a cotton bale. The opinion of the
hands is lhat it was an accident. Capt
Wilkins was the section master.
Kinciiy Ann Edwards, the
white woman who was turned out of
the penitentiary the other day, entered
the office in this city of the Biblical Re
corder, and thus introduced herself to
brother Mills : I am the woman that
stole your bowl and towel, and was put
in the Penitentiary for it. I staid there
two years and a month. Now I am done
drinking, done cursing, done stealing,
ana am coiner to do better. A man
promised to marry me. Virginia was
born before I was 13 years old.
Thus brother Mills of the Mecor
der (Baptist) to brother Bobbitt of the
Advocate (Methodist) : The editor of
the Christian Advocate, in his paper of
this date, eets happy, because a litte
tomtit Baptist preacher, away over in
England, forsook his faith, and repeated
some of that same old slang against the
Baptists. Why, we have a dozen more
of the same sort left, and intend to send
them over to any sect that wants them,
just as soon as we possibly can prevail
on them to leave.

Helping Along.
Now it is a mighty general custom
with us in the South to say, 44 Well, he's
a good, clever man, I believe I'll pa
tronize him, just to help him along."
That's not business. If you want to
help him," give him something, send
him money or a barrel of flour, but
don't go and buy of him, or put up at a
hotel with him, or send to school to
him, or subscribe to his paper, just to
help him along. There's something
Quixotic about that notion, and nine
times out of ten, when we hear a man
say, 44 1 don't really want it, but I just
do it to help him along," we put that
chap down as the man that skinned the

pects to obtain it by cajolery, by pand
ering to prejudice, by lies, by hypo
crisy, by abuse, will fall deep, and this
are will march over him without a

kind and polite unto all men, be sober

A vanlentine Vox among Us.
Professor Hicks, who sells medicines
in this city, is a ventriloquist and a kind
of Valentine Vox in the practice of his
talent. Sometime ago he went into tl
store or one oi our nest oia grocers in
this city and asked for a box of some
kind that the old man kept up stairs. It
was Monday evening and as Hicks and
he were half way up, Hicks called out
in his own voice, 44 Who's that i
there ?" Then in his assumed voice he
saia, it's me, ive been nere since
Saturday ; night." The old man grew
nervous, 44 Wha-a-t did he say ?" asked
he of Hicks. Hicks didn't answer, but
called out again to the fellow, 44 Ain't
you cold up there?" 44 Yes, I'm dev'lish
cold," said the fellow. 44 Cold, is he?"
said the old merchant, 44 ah ha, Til cold
him, please -you stay here while I go for
the police." They both went down
stairs and Hicks stood in the store door
bile the old man ran and got two police
men. Hicks ,sav them coming and left
the store as they came in. The old man
had the police up stairs pitching barrels,
turning over boxes, fcc, and they were
dirty and dusty and looking about with
all their might, as his sorr came in, and
seeing Hicks standing around in front
of the store, he told his father, it was
Hicks, that he was a ventriloquist, and
had plaved him his trick. The same
way he went into the Register of Deeds
Office and made a rat squeal like the
mischief. The clerks all got sticks and
the Register the tongs, 44 a rat, kill bim,
kill him," cried the Register, 44 he'll get
in my papers and cut 'em all to pieces,"
and at it they went till Hicks laughed
right out and let out the joke. We
want Hicks to pro into the legislature
someday and break up the 44 harmony,"
by calling out when some member gets
up to speak, 44 Oh, you're all gas," or
44 it's a lie," " sit down," 44 dry up," &c,
And then tlfrowing his voice into so:no
pensive looking member's bosom, make
him say, 44 I'm responsible, Mr. Speak
er, foi what I say." Wouldn't it be a
nice row?
