A vast mob had congre­ gated.

There l-.»A was no demonstration by marines on shore or on ship-board that could tend to excite a mob to violence, save only tlje'significant fact that the ITnlon fleet held tlie balance of power and were abundantly prepared to maintain it. Later a mob seixed the mint and the national flag was hauled down from the staff on the dome by the hands of Jno. Mumphord. a wealthy merchant of boasted Creole blood, and he, attended and cheered by blood-thirsty devils trailed the flag In the dust, stamped upon it. and spit upon It. But the misguided aristocrat was soon captured, tried by a drum-head court martial, found guilty and was sentenced to be hung. On the morning of the hanging there was a detail made of 100 soldiers from each of the infantry regiments and st the hour appointed tliey marched to the place of ezecntioa. Mounted guards and one section of a battery were already there on duty. But ,tlie wild throng of citizens! Had the slums of the Infernal been ransacked for sub­ jects? The d«vilisli visages of thst Babylon of tongues; t ist teething mass of cuseedness could not hive been out­ done on this terrestrial globe. The size of the crowd seemed to he only limited by the capacity of tlie streets and the strength of marnsard roofs miniature black flags and rag* hearing the inscription: "Yellow Jack" fluttered from prominent windows, or were used as handkerchiefs by secesh ladles (wee. lovely creatures) but the devil owned them. The steady-hearing of-tlie Union soldier? fixed an effective barrier against the surging thousands. Prompt­ ly at the call of time Jt o. Mumphord ascended the gallows. He manfully ai-knowiedged his guilt and thai he merited the hanginir. With heroic fortitude he met Ills fate and died game. When the trap was sprung a smothered growling murmur and con­ glomerated bitteroathsechoed through and above the throng that encompassed the troops, but there was no collitiou. and without serious difficulty tlie patroj guards cleared the streets. M.M.C. •S^Tlie Napervi lie Clarion has a *ery interesting letter each week from f lady who has lately gone to Africa. She writes all about the country, the habits of tlie people, etc. Evidently the tramp hasn't blessed that country with Ills presence yet, for she says, "At night we look our outside door and that is all. 1 keep nothing under lock and key. My gold watch lies on the table in the corner, day and night, when 1 sin not wearing it. We never think of burglars." Let this be pa«f»d around and some »nferprlsin«f tramj will climb tlie north pol«f but 'what be will find some way to get them and steal that watch.
